VILSSA, JULY 9.—The fears which have been excited that a war rv:•c about to commence between Russia and the Porte—a war, the consequences of which could not have been fltreseen, and which might have destrayed the union so happily eYisti ig between the principal powers of Europc —are now calmed. It is scid that Russia and England have offered themselves as med'ators between the Greek and the Porte. The Turkish trOlps have been compelled to raise the siege of Janina, after losing two tbirt's of their troops; a great number of w..ich deserted to A li Paella. Toe Turks are no longer toasters of Prevesa. Ti e Montenp,.ins have joined the partisans of A'i, and have made an incursion into Bosnia. Letters worthy of credit, dated Bucharest, 20th and 21st of June, conte'n the follou ing " A letter r , .ore the Greek camp has been received here, addressed by the insurgents of the Turl.;sh Governor, in which they beg for an amnesty, and declare them elves ready, in case it should be 4:unt ed, to return to obedience, room which they have Men led astray by Ypsilanti's delusive intr; , ;ues and solucip . , ; promises. hi ja of the Paella of Si !;str. immediately gave orders to have pr..clamations csvci"where made that the amnesty required should be given to insurgents who y down .1•• and retui a to obedience. " The Kaimacan of the Hospodar is employed in 'to appointment of the chief; of dist: ets, sever.i! of whom have already repaired to thei• respective posts, oiler to do what is possible to restore order its the depopulated and desolated N i"iigies. A deputy has ' ban sant to the Boyars, who rre now at Cron stadt in Transylvaria, inviting them, in the name of the govetament, to return to their homes. • The same letters paint the situation of the pro %inc.s in the most glomuy colours " i)illicult as it may Ile (says one of these letters) to lam, at the first moment, c'q estimate founded un basis of the destruction that has taken place, it may be of that fifty nti'lions of pias tres is too low a calculation of the loss occasioned to the prop' ictors, especii'lly to the class of small land holders; first, by the insurrection of the Pandour Chief; Theidore; then by the appearance of the corps of the Hct:•rists; and lastly, by the rdvance of the Ttuk;sh army. Among the losses we must reckon not merely the wasted stores, the plandcred arid ruined buildings, the peeuni:i , y exactions which the leaders of the undisciplined bands of insurgents, and almost each individual insurgent ' , Hawed him self to practice, but the los: of the whole of this year's harvest, becomo the farmers fled fro:n their homes at the bei;inning of the revolution, and did not sow their fields, and the vvlbter corn vowed in autumn now rots ou the ground, because iliac no reapers. Walachia, formerly so rich, will vet recover in go years from the sufferings svliich have bum brought upon this province by au ill-judged enterprise, hazarded witituut knowtolge of tho voo ple and of the local relations, an enterprise I° which the great mass of the people has remained wholly alien, and which could not terminate in any case but with the destruction of all property, either by the revolution and intestine war, 01 by the con sequence of a war with neighbouring powers, the theatre a which must inevitably be on the left bank of the Danube. Hitherto no complaints can be made against the commanders of the Turkish army; they act with great moderation: but the army itself is composed of such heterogeneous parts, and the soldiers of whom it chiefly consists are so little un der control, that its appearance is every where at tended with utic.voidable desolation. In the nmiilst of the contest stands the poor farmer, to whom the whole afti it was foreign in its ori,;in, and who con sidered the first appearance of Theodore with a few Pandours as nothing more then one of the incursions of a single chief. The most op.dent classes soo.. tied Com the towns, and lett them and their property to their fate; thus the tunas and the country were soon without any govet ornent, and the limner had no other means of safety than to yield himself a prey to the first partisan, or to fly into the woods and mountains. This is a fiiithful picture of the few last months —the future certainly offers no very sa tisfactmf prospect." MADRID, JULY 10.—Prince Laval Montmorency is about to retina to Praire, and to be replaced by Gen. Lagarde. It is supposed that the Marquis of Casa Yrujo n:11 set out at the same time with the ex-ambassador. lite latter has seen much in the course of 18 months. The accounts i out the inter:or are uniform. The most perfect tranquillity prevails over the whole kingdom: - The Cortes were seen saperat•ng at the fixed time, and no disquietude was produced. They ruin assemble on the Ist of October as Extra ordinaty Cortes, and on the Ist of May as a ldgisla titre body. The Bishops, the Vicar.-Genera', and the Chap ter issue osiers to obey the do-rees of the Cortes. The govetinnent of the King stirs up their zeal.— Many of the disaffected leave tha peninsula, and retire. into Fr. -ice or other counttics. 'l'he King ;4 titan' t to set out, according to custom, to the balls of Sacedon. _ FRtXKFORT, JULY 1.5.—1 t 3% asserted, that very important cotnmunieutions are at th;s moment on foot between the great powers of the North, a:ol between these powers and France end England.
