BERLIN, OCTOS 10. The Prussian States Gazette or the 18th contains the following article, which may he considered as an official declaration, caused by the report that Raffia hid declined the rssediation of the Allied Canto in the attains of Tus key. An impudent falaehood. Which the malice of a journalist has iuvented, and the ignorance of others repeated. requires correction, and we undertake the task with the more pleasure, as it gives es an op portunity of skewing the modern European policy in the fair light in which it will appear to impartial imaterity. The statement says.--41 The Emperor of Russia has declined all iiiterseotiou of his High Al4ies in his affairs with the Corte, awl declared that he would have free liberty to proceed with the Turks as be left it to Amalie io Italy." Each of these words contains a faliehood. To bet:in with the lag sentence : It is well known that when Austria undertook the pacification of Italy with her own army, this enterprise, and all the steps accompany ing it, were undertsken in the most intimate under standing with Russia and the other Allies. When his Majesty the Emperor of Russia afterwards re ceived, at Leybuch, the first news of the mad attempt of the Moldavian. and Wallachians (Greeks in religion, but not LA descent or language), his acute anderstanding was immediately sensible of a truth. which has since beeu proved by incontro vertible facto, via. that the insurrection in Turkey was the work of the same faction, the enemies of all order and tranquillity, who after they had indeed overthrown or shaken several States of Europe by their doctrines of disobedience and wickedness, and had failed in their plan of dividing the Holy Al hence of the Monarchs by the revolutions in Naples and Piedmont, now suavest the mask of ieligiou to lead to an event by which the political interest of all must be endangered. But. the Monarchs recog nised the baud which hyl,prapared this evil for them, and their union wai'iot.forther confirmed. They mutually engageti that the insurrection in Greece. to whatever Measurer it might in the sequel compel them, should not disunite them. Henceforward there prevailed on this subject the greatest and certainly an unparalleled openness and coincidence between the Cabinets. Not a step was taken on the part of the Russian Cabinet without being &mined with its Allies, without being ap proved of by them. All have openly done justice to the principles of integrity, humanity, and •magnanimity which the Russian Monarch has pro fessed and followed, without in the least departing from his dignity : all have given him the tribute of their admiration and their gratitude. Every step of the Russian Cabinet has been most energetically supported by the Ministers of the other great Powers at Constantinople. The exertions of these Am bassadors had not the form of a mediation. The mediator endeavour, to abate the exaggerated demands of two hostile power* with whom he is on terms of amity, and to produce by reciprocal concession a happy reconciliation. This could not be the case at Constantinople. The demands brought forward by Russia were recognised by all the Powers, as founded on treaties, justice, equity, and magnanimity. As such they were brought forward, consequently, as postulate, which could not be in the smallest degree departed from; and on the acceptance or rejection of which, peace or war must depend; and that if there was any mediation on the part of the Ambassadors, it was only so far as they made sae of the personal esteem which they enjoyed with the sublime Porte, to overcome the prejudices of its Minister., and to draw their attention to the situation of the Ottoman Empire, which bad the unanimous sentiments of the five great Powers against it, and no other Allies fur it than the above-mentioned party and some visionaries in Germany. In fact, the voice of rea son haa succeeded in dispelling the error in which the Divan for some time acted. Authentic accounts from Constantinople state, that the Porte, before the arrival of the Russian ultimatum lately addressed to it. had accepted in dividually all the demands contuitied iu it, so that it might be said the uffitir was entirely settled, were there not still some unimportant necessary circumstances, respecting which the consent of Russia and of the other Courts could not yet be obtained. How then should the Einperor Alexander have refused a mediation which was never offered him, and could not be offered him ? Flow should he have declared that he would settle the bu.iuess himself, while, on the contrary, he has caused his last stet► to he taken through the medium of the Allied Powers ? The enemies of tranquillity in Europe may, therefore, renounce the hope which the article that we have refitted had excited in them. The wretches who, with wicked intentions, have put arms into the hands of the Greeks, and made themselves answerable fur the blood which his flowed in the East since Msrch, will have been guilty in vain of so many crimes. THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, TUESDAY, °cross,' 30, 18tI. We have received flauover Papers to the 24th instant.

A Dutch Mail has arrived with papers to the 27th instant. The following are extracts : lIAMISURGII, OCTOBER 43. His Majesty the Emperor of Russi• retuned on the 51 h rsf October to Z .rskojesehh frogs hi. eters-. siou to Witepsk. _ _ HAGUE, OCTOSIta 33. The Second Chamber was to meet to-day, but still the number of Members present was far from sufficieot, and it was necessary olgaio to adjourn. OCTOBER. TS. We hear that ►ome more Members of the Second Chamber have arrived, but others have gone away *rain. It seems that the King of England will 'qui p visit Bronchial his return to London. This report is confirmed by the circumstance that the English Ambassador, who had already returned here, lind whose effects were daily expected, has unexpectedly gone back to Brussels. In the extracts which we published yesterday from the Papers brought by the Flanders Mail, was to he found a copy of • firosauts or proclama tion, said to have been issued at Constantinople by the GRAND SEIGNOR, in which he is represented as imputing the insurrection of the Greeks to the faith trainees and treachery of the Russians, and as ex horting all his Moslem subjects to take up arms and prepare themselves for war. In presenting this ex traordinary document to our readers, we observed, that if it were authentic it must be regarded as little short of an sctual declaration of war against Russia. The authenticity of the firmest' is however denied by an Evening Paper, which unreservedly calls it a forgery. This opinion is formed by inference from the silence respecting the appearance of such • re markable proclamation, which is observed in letters said to have been received in town yesterday from Constantinople, dated the 26111, and from Smyrna, dated the I7th of September. Their letters state, in opposition to concurrent accounts from various parts of the Continent, that the capital and Smyrna enjoy ed a state of perfect tranquillity, and that all idea of a war having subsided, commerce had resumed its wonted activity. These flattering communication., we are told, were accompanied by extensive orders for colonial produce and British manufactures, which must indeed be at the same time takes as the moat satisfactory assurances of their general fidelity. Upon the question of the authenticity of the re puted finuann mid to have been liaised on the 14th of September, it might we think be fairly in ferred, from the silence of these letters, that no such paper had appeared in Constantinople. At the same time it will occur to every one that there might he some circumstances, either in the error of dates or the timidity of the writers, to account 1 1 for the silence of these letters, without going to the length of at once pronouncing the paper to be a forgery. The supposed firmaun is said to have been received at Marseilles, which is the most likely port in the Weil of Europe for authentic in telligence to be first received respecting the affairs of Torkey ; and it seemed to receive some con firmation from a paragraph in a Paris Paper, which 12y3 that the GRAND SEIONOR had resolved to issue • proclamation, exhorting all the Mussulmans to take up arms, and that Lord STRANGFORD had exerted his utmost influence with the Porte to prevent theippeorauce of so inflammatory a docu ment, but had succeeded only in causing its publi cation to be deferred for a few days. On the other hand it is suspicious that the firmaun had not ap peared in a Paris Paper before it reached this country through a German Paper. Upon such a subject it would be idle to argue merely front lim itability. The conduct of barbarians most at all times baffle speculation. It results so immediately from passion and prejudice, sold is so little subject to the control of those principles which flow from an exercise of judgment and discretion among civi lized people, that it is impossible to estimate it by the application of any ordinary notions of policy, propriety. or common sense. It is certain that so intemperate an invective could not emanate from any of the politer Cabinets of Europe ; hut what is there in common between diem and the ()mimeo Porte ? A day or two, however, will be sufficient to determine what degree of faith can be attached to this extraordinary document. Troops of every deuninitiation continue to be di rected by forced marches from various parts of Ireland towards the county of Limerick, snit even from this country some regiments have been seat to meet the pressing emergency that regoires the presence of a large force in the diatuilted di.. evicts. Every town and village within the county of Limerick seems, tiom the extent of the force thus employed, to be occupied by a detachment of troops, and in mist places the yeomanry have been placed upon permanent duty. it would ap. peer, however, frost the accounts that arrived by the loot mails, that this immense increase of mili tary power lan been as yet attended by no salutary effects. The pertinacity of the rioters Kenos to 411 ~ ;4. 4' be io,vineible. We 'still read of Louses being attacked, of arined banditti iiCeating the public toads both by day and by ni 4 lir, and of sol diers ate' policemen being waylaid and stripped of their tit L'srts, pistols, swords, and accoutrements. The acquisition ammo is the ostensible purpose o f every one of these acts of violence, fur neither in attacks upon houses, nor in the rubbery of the sol diers and policemen of their arms, is any greate'r violence used than is strictly necessary fur di., at. taintuesit of this object. There never was a pop far commotion of any kind, or in any place, w licit did not, unless timely checked, assume AI it .0\ - y.iticed a higher and more imposing tone •it had thought of assumitig in its origin. When tl:e county of Limerick was first disturbed by parties of rioters, no object seemed to have been comma !dated but the redress of a few indiviitud asters, which arose out of the particular inistuani4e. meat of one Nobleman's estate. This spirit of car. reeling abuses was suffered most improvidently by the Magistrates to go unpunished, and the rioters acquiring confidence from impunity, stow address their attentiou to far higlimutgects, and begin to talk of effecting aucft afteratiodi is the existing in. stitutious as to them may seem expedient. The system of tithes hes from time immemorial b. eit ' held to be a grievance by the foster orders of the people of Ireland, and many valuable lives" have been sacrificed in consequence of this feeling. The Limerick rioters intimate a desire to suppress the system, and it is not improbable that the practice of collecting arms has some connexion with this purpose. This, however, is the only evidence of a po litical object which has as yet appeared from their pro ceedings. Fur our own parts, we still entertain the opi- Mon that the rioters in the comity of Limerick ere very few in number, and are merely those wreched outcasts from society whom a relaxation of authority will at all times encourage to commit acts of vio lence, in the presumption that they may pursue their mischievous career with impunity. The energy of the Government cannot fail of suppressing them effectually, but it is be Ismented that the whole power of the State should be thus required to re store tranquillity within a very limited extent of country, which could never have acquired so dis graceful a distiuction had the local magistracy evinced an ordinary degree of vigilance and activity. Great preparations ■re making to have the re. pairs at Carlton Palace completed by the liima's arrival.
