' CONSTAN'TINOPLE, APAIL 2.52.---It is asserted, that a Courier ws lately sent to St. Petersburgh with a letter; in the Sultan's own hand, to the liloperof of Russia.

Emperor ALEXANDER addressed the Ern , peror of Austria direaly on this subje6t, and took an oppOr,tunity to declare his friend!liip and regard i . for him; attributing to these, in a great measure, the resolution he had taken, and expressing, besides, his determination not to protrak any longer the cause of inisunderstandinti° between France and Austria. In consequence o f this disposition in the Court of St. Petersburgh, it is believed at Vienna, that the Fortress of Brannan will be soon delivered up to the Austrians, and that the French will not long re main on the,Banks of the Inn and Danube. VI EN NA, MAY 21 . —We are, assured the EMPE ROR Of GERMANY will SifOrdy visit a part of the new Frontiers of his MOnarchy, accompanied by the Arch duke JOIIN„ to examine such points as it may 'be found necessary to fortify.
