JOLT. 31. • The violation of treaties suffered by our govern ment, in allowing Russian ships to traverse the Boy phoruc, the ttuops which that nation tends succes sively into the autient Venetian Isles, and the move ments which are already Mt •it the Morea, do not alone excite all our solicitude : availing herself of the AscenJancy which she has progressively ac quired, Ru,siA has snatched from us almost all o i tt contntc.ce, and our ships now navigate in the Ardsi pel.t4o, under the Russiau flag. We see it. and we dare not apply a remedy. The situation of the provinces of Vi7a'lschia and Moldavia is apt less :hr (r)jeit of our inquietude. The Provinces of Moldavia and Wallachia, which, horn the contiguity of their territory, the confor mity of their Government, and particularly the close conneEtion of their two Princes, ought to be considered as one and the same country, have ac quired, within these 30 years, a great importance in the politics of Eastern Europe. Since the partition of Poland, they have became • the principal frontier of the Ottoman Empire on the side of Russia, as they were before on the side of Austria. The invasion of the Crimea and of the Turkish possessions bordering on the Black Sea, and the uncertain state of Egypt, lender their agricultural produElions absolutely necessary for the supply of Constantinople. '[has their loss would compromise the existence of the Ottom in power by the two fi.ld danger of invasion and revolt. However, if we censide-, on one side, the poli tical history of these provinces, all, upon tr7c other, the present state of their intern.) government, we cann )r rf stake that their invasion is meditated, pre pared, aa.; that it may be carried into effoel by the slightest crisis. Ise 1772, Russia openly laid claim to the posses sion, or at 'east the independence of those two prin. ; if the dismemberment of Poland, pro posed at that time by Prussia, determined Cathe rine II to desist from her pretensions—she did not abandon them. On the contrary, she was seen to propose the execution of her ulterior projet, by the Treaty of Kainardjy (1774), and by the explana tory convention of the same Treaty, in 1779, endeavoured by these acts to found her authori7: . in the country upon the religious sentiments which govern the inhabitants, and upon the e.,.n,)nstra tions of kindness, as deceitful as incompatible sits the sovereignty of the Ot., , man Porte. fly these treaties, t . l orkish Government binds kself to Russia not to disturb, in any manner, the exercise of the Greek religion in the two provinces, and to restore to the Convents the property which bad formerly belonged to them : To grant to the Ecclesiastics of the two princi palities, the distinEtions due to their rank : To be satisfied with the usual imposts, which should be collected every two years by deputies, and which they should have nu power to increase : and To permit the two Princes to have each at the Porte a Midge drs :quires, who should be consider ed 31 enjoying Me LIM of Pittioas. This principle of usurpation has been developed and fortified by the last war, and by the treaty which terminated it ; finally has appeared, this aio of interference of the Court of Sr. PetersbuTh, by which the coituitutive form of the two states has been changed ; An interference manifestly contrary to the treaty of Kainardjy, which had limited the interfere:ice of Russia, in favour of the two princi• palities, to the objeds specified in Article 7, of that 30. Austria is not in this attitude of aggr:ssion : yet, in 1744, she obtained, ham the interested com plaisance of the Russians, and the weakness of the Turks, a portion of Moldavia (the Bakovina) ; and that cession, by renderiag her mistress of the territory embraced by the Syreth, has made to disappear for her armies, the natural barrier of the two Empires. Thus the tide of invasion advances upon the Ot toman territory ; arid the power, which is, as it were, sunk by the constantly encreasing civilisa tion of the adjacent states, may disappear in an instant from the political world. It is true, that in 1771, when the Russians became masters of this country, by viaiay, we have seen Austria propose to the Ottoman forte to use even force of arms to etre& for it the restitution of that conquest ; but what was the condition of that interference ?--The giving up to Austria her self a part of Wallachia. The internal situation of Moldavia and Wallachia remains to be considered. The projeas of Russia will be seen more clearly there than in the public aas of the Russian cabinet. That power I.as sought, by its treaties with the Porte, to create for itself rights over the two principalities. It is pre paring to exercise these very rights by insinuating its authority into their administration. Moreover, the devotion of the Princes to Russia has nut only the circa of preparing means for the ambition of that power : the two I lospodars are in possession of the office of informing the Otto man Ministry of the political events of Europe. They have tor that purpose agents in different places. They receive the principal Gawk:, from which they make exuaas, which they translate into the Turkish language, and dispatch to Constantino ple. This correspondence causes the sending of four or ti estafettes a month. It would be difficult to fo-•a a:: idea of the pains which the Hospodars take to learn what is passing, and to communicate it to the Mir;stry with expedition. It is their principal merit with the Miairarys and, perhaps. we of the _Alba T. 13 2 'BRITISH PRESS• LON 1)0N, WEDNESDAY, SEPTUM! 19.

Count Cormorant, the Ambassador of His Majesty the Emperor of the Rom•ms and of AUSTRIA, is the first upon the revolutionary list. i:en follow the Ministers of the Eleaor of Salabourgh, Portug.d, the Order of Malta, and Naples. Not even a second rate power in Europe is suffered to come forward, to keep the new Emperor of A orr at • in countenance. Sir JuA4 Fable would not have marched tho:ugli Coventry with such a set. The Prussian Entbassy was at Aix-la-Chapelle. Why. then, was not the Pie SIAN MINISTEK upon the muster-roll of slaves and adulators? Prussia perhaps was waiting for the •• rl its qww.

The truth is, no man understands stage cleft better than BOXAPAKTL; and he knew well that even a second-rate perform er might have diverted some of the plrblic atten tion from his hero. The paragraph in the Afositaa•, detailing this ceremony, is dated 2.31 Thermidor (11th of Ang•ast), which is, we should presumi, a mistake, for x3d Fructidor (loth of Sept , nib, The Mo:,itor.r, following up its system of fah! ,:A• tion, gives a pre ended article from Constantinopie, charging Rossia with a design to aerie the Pro vinces of Moldavia and Wallachia, and thus reduce and partition the Turkish empire.

As we stated yesterday, the Aftmiiedir down to the 9th inst. takes no notice of the embargo, mendoned, in the Pa6httiste of the 7th, to have been laid upon Russian and Swedish ships at Leghorn, and taken off at the end of two days.

We recollet that, after the death of Catherioe 11., the Porte tc.:eived the Dews fiv.: days before the Russian Ambassador ; and that it was the Prince of Moldavia who com municated it. It is easy to perceive, that the Princes, by the means of this correspondence, and their private in toi'arstion at Constantinople, acquire a necessary in fluence over the opinion and determinatiiiiis of he Divan ; and that Russia, making them to re. all up" the Turkish Government, the power by which sae influences the two Princes, encreases and consolidates her ascendancy, and perpetuates the state of depen dence in which she keeps the Ottoman ',rte. The Russian Consulat-General at rosy is ano ther instrument, by means of which that Govern ment extends over this country the bonds of its in. verci snty. The Consul-General displays there the repre' eatation of Minister. The number of his exceeds 4,000; of whom, a very small part are native Russians. By one of the Articles of the last Treaty, the in habitants of the country were allowed 15 months to pass under the dominion of Russia. Advantage wa, tak:n of this circumstance, to draw over all Rayas of any importance, and even the Boy ards. After the expiration of so long a term, the praaice of acquiring now subjetts has not been yet discontinued. It is sufficient that the kayas (not Mol davian') should make a journey to one of the cities of Russian Poland, and assume there a Russian title. They enter as a matter of right, upon their return, under the prote:lion of the Consul-General, with our opposition or observation upon the part of the Prince. All the great merchants are under the !taisian prote&ion, which they always seek, on ac count of the obsequious deference paid to the agent of that power, and of the favour which those enjoy who trade tinder its banner. The inferior merchants, who are not raatriculated with the Commissary- General, give themselves out as attached to the proreaed merchants. Iv this quality they receive Russian pas:ports, and crjny an implicit protection. coarou, •uo. 11 There are :n the road of Co-fott two 74's, a fri gate, a brig, and tire gun-taats.
