GERMAN PAPERS. -do VIENNA, MAY 20.—News from Walachia and Moldavia, ut the beginning of the present month, communicate the following information : In Jassy, on the 31 instant, a firman, at first kept private, was received, which, however, early on the following day excited the universal expectation of the departure of the Turkish troops, for which event the people were prepared by the transfer of the ar tillery to Silistria, which had a few days before arrived from Braltilow at Jassy. The arrival on the sth of the Commissary-Inspector from Bucharest will lead to the execution of the same orders in Moldavia which have already taken place in Wala chia. On the 13th a measure was adopted at Constan tinople on the part of the Government, which must contribute not a little to tranquillize the minds of the Christians The Tersana•Kiajani who, during the absence of the Capitan Paella, superintends the administration of police in the capital, received from the l'orte an order to take under his special protection the religious festivals of the Greeks during Easter, and was made responsible that neither the Greeks nor the Armenians should receive any dis turbance or molestation during the solemnity. The consequence was, that not only in the Greek and . Armenian churches all the religious ceremonies, professions, and observances, were conducted with the most perfect peace and order, but the festivities which followed were enjoyed by the Greeks in their old style, and in the must uninterrupted tranquillity. On the 21st of April the Patriarch was invited to the palace of the Sultan. As this was the anni versary of a lamentable event, the circumstance ex cited universal interest. When he arrived, he was loaded with encomiums by one of the ministers of the Porte, on account of some judicial decision which he had pronounced ; and received in the name of the Sultan another considerable donation for the repair of the damaged cathedral church. He was afterwards directed to produce a list of all the Seitdes then resident in the capital, distinguishing the married from the unmarried. The homer are to remain in Constantinople, the latter are to be sent to Asia. The new dragoman of the Porte, Jahia Effendi, is not a native of Corfu, as has been said, but of Gallipoli, and has been 30 years con verted to Isinalisin. He is a man 70 years of age, anti as he is believed not to be perfect master of the European languages, he is to have a secretary of the Armenian persuasion, named Semi Manasse, a per son of great knowledge. Thus Jahia Effendi, al though invested with the Kaftan, is only vice dragoman. PLTERSOURGH, APRIL 30.—The result of the mission of M. de Tatischeff, who is arrived here, was already known from his principal secretary, who was here a week before him. The Powers of Europe will take, it is said, measures in common with respect to Turkey, in concert with Russia, which, it is asseeted, has engaged nut to act sepa rately in this aflitir. M. de Leibzeltern and Sir Charles Bagot are very active, and have frequent conferences with Counts Nesselrode and Capo d'lstria. The Emperor Alex under is said to be invited by the Emperor Francis to a congress. The Count of Rimna has proposed the Court of London as arbitrator in the differences between Rus sia and the Porte. It seems that the Cabinet has, for the preseut, abandoned the idea of attacking Turkey. All the preparations fin. the Emperor's journey are made. lie will go, it is thought. by way of \Vilna to Warsaw, and thence to Vienna and Italy.

CIRCULAR ADDRESSED TO THE MINISTERS OP HIS MOST FAITHFUL MAJESTY IF.SIDEET AT FOMEI•N COURTS. M. Avogradu, late Sardinian Charge d' Afaires at this Court, having by his Majesty's order received passports to leave this kingdom, it is proper that you should be informed of the circumstances which have thereupon occurred, in order that you may be able to correct any misunderstanding which may arise on this subject. As soon as this Government was informed by our Ministers resident at Vienna, Naples, and Turin, that those Governments had declared, that while they did not hesitate to recognize such Ministers of his Most Faithful Majesty us had been appointed before 2.1411 Aug ust, 1820, they were determined not to acknowl edge any persons who, in virtue of subsequent appointments, might arrive with the view of supplying their places; because they had, with one common accord, resolved not to acknow ledge the Government actually existing in Portugal ; his Majesty then ordered that the before-mentioned Ministers should not only withdraw from those Courts, but that the Portuguese Consuls, resident in the ports of the respective countries, should suspend the exercise of their functions until the said Courts desisted from the extraordinary pretension of consti toting themselves the judges of the internal govern ment of this kingdom, since tho power of the Consuls could not fail to be regarded 9S null by those Courts, seein ,, that they were derived from a Power held to be illegitimate. But in order that commerce might not sutler from these political differences, orders were issued to all the custom-houses of the linited Kingdom, not to give trouble te merchant-vessels, in consequence of their not having papers legally authenticated by our Consuls, but to treat them as if they came from ports where no Portuguese Con suls reside, in which case the authentication of the ideal autlanities is sufficient. _ _ At the same time his Majesty determined that the Sardinian Charge d' A fair's, resident at this Court, 4liould not in future be considered as a diplomatic agent, but that he might remain as lung as he pleased as a private individual. Some months having elapsed after this resolution was communicated to M. Avogrado, there arrived from Itiniburgli various packages addressed to him lie requested an order for receiving them duty free, according to the usual practice with respect to foreign ministers. There was no hesitation in acceding to this demand, because the shipments had been made while he exercised the functions of Charge d'Affaires, notwithstanding that he now no longer held that character. lu pursuance of the reason here stated, the fol lowing order was despatched : The king orders, by his Minister for Foreign Affairs, that the general administrator of the principal customs of Lisbon shall deliver, duty free, to Augusto Avograilo, a box, sod the accompanying invoice, which have been forwarded to bi s from iii the ship Casluirea, inasmuch as the said hox had been shipped fur him at the lime that he exercised the functions 01 elowye d'Affaires fur Sardinia at this Court. SILVESTRI: PINHEIRO FERREIRA. " Office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Alrairs, April 21, 1a22." Three days after, M. Avogrado came to my house, and having asked a servant fin- paper and ink, left for me the following note, accompanied with the order which had been addressed to hint according to ti,e official practice:— " eutint d'Avagrado regrets that he cannot deliver to his Escelleuey himself the enclosed paper, which he is under the necessity of returning to the Secret.iriat of State. " The total neglect of all decency which appears in this order tides dm permit the Count trAvogradu to accept or make sae of it." .LAL-alb-'''''Vlir".- ,i-sp.: Lill ittr+ if) PRICE 94d. Chourschid Pacha has male two appeals to the Albanians capable of bearing arms, to march against the rebel Mayas and the exe rabic Muscovites, the first movers of the rebellion. The Albanians have replied that they cannot abandon their own country. Sir Thomas Maitland, who, notwithstanding his declarations of neutrality, favours directly and openly all the operations of the Turks, has found means to send off the Greek squadron, under the pretext of their conduct at Santa Maura, but which is denied by the Greeks. It is more strange still, however, that the flag of truce sent by the Greek Navaret to enter into an explanation with the lonian Govern ment was detained by Sir T. Maitland in violation of the rights of nations, and was sent back long afterwards without an answer. The Greek squadron, however, having disappear ed, Chourschid Pacha renewed his appeal to the alliances, who now threw off the mask, and demasel• ed payment of arrears, and payment in advance. Vac Albanian chiefs, much to their honour, have determined to resist the order for massacreeing the Christians in that province sent by the Porte to Chourschid Pacha, and the Bey of Paramythia has declared, that if the bead of an innocent Christian falls, he will join the Souliotes against the Turks. The Albanians are, doubtless, not civilised, but what a difference between their sentiments, and those of the Chief of the Turkish nation, whom the English ministry, in an official paper, calls an un fortunate Prince, and whom it wishes to conciliate to the interest of Christian Nionarchs. FRONTIERS 01 TURILEY, MAT B.—A amp forming at Nisei', and a month since the Divan sent troops thither from Bosnia, Albania, Macedonia, and Scutari. The Turkish army will as emble there ; in the event of war it will pass the Danube at Wid din, and stationing 'droops in the upper part of Wa. lachia. The army of the Grand Vizier advances in two divisions, one towards Rudsehuk by Sophia, and the other towards Brailow by SAumia. The command of the grand Turkish army to be assembled on the Danube is destined for Chourschid Pacha, the favourite of the day, but whose move ments are interrupted by the Greeks. On the frontiers of Bosnia the Turks have had difkrances with the authorities of the country. All Epirus is in movement, and opposing the carrying off the treasures of Ali. The death of this Chief appears to have given birth to discord amongst the Members of the Divan. Extract of a letter from St John's, N. 8., dated Feb. 2.1.—" The Neptune Smith (late Kelly), ar rived here yesterday from Kingston, Jamaica, in 30 days; on the 27th January, off Cape Antonio, was boarded by a Spanish piratical schooner, of about 50 tons, having one long gun amidships, beside small arms, and manrcil with 20 men, who took possession of the brig, and ran her into shoal water, where they commenced taking every thing of value they could lay their hands un ; they found 128 dou bloons, which were concealed in the middle stay sail, belonging to Mr. Edmund, the owner, and about 201. in small gold, belonging to the captain. The brig Amyr, of and for Liverpool, which sailed. eight days previous to the Neptune, was in posse slot' of the same pirates; they had her close in short discharging her cargo of sugar. Captain Smith was near enough to the Amyl- to speak her, but could learn no further particulars. The Neptune was plundered last voyage about the same place, and it is believed by the same piratical vessel." A private letter from an officer of the Utli refit. dated St. Kitt's, in the West Indies, 3 , lurch Q says:—" Major Loftus, of the 9th regiment, died of the yellow fever, after been taken on shore at Antigua, on the 10th inst. ‘Ve sent 27 men out of. 50 into the hospital in two days ; two men died the same evening as the major. We had no sickness on board after leaving Antigua, having disembarked all the soldiers there, and put them under canvas ; left Antigua on the lath, and heard of no other deaths.
