HASIOURGIA. SEPTEMBER 21.
We have received from Constantinople the ful-
lowing authentic communication :
" CONSTANTINOPLE, AUGUST 25.
" We are here in perfect tranquillity, and wonder
at the surprising inaccuracies which we find in
foreign siewspaperr, especially in 8 Bavarian Jour-
nal, which hitherto has Hot communicated • sylla-
ble of troth respecting the affairs of Turkey. We
read of massacres and scenes of horror, hut we have
not witnessed any of them. It is true, however,
that et the first discovery of the Greek conspiracy,
great and much-to-be-lamented severity was exer-
cised.
" But those times are passed, and peace, security,
and gaod order, are entirely restored. We con-
fidently hope that thine will be no war with Russia.
The English Ambassador, as well as the Austrian,
French, and Prussian Ambassador,, do every thing
to pr. vent war. The Turks wish for peace."
LETTER FROM CONSTANTINOPLE, AUGUST 96.
LETTER FROM NIA HIGHNESS THE GRAND VIZIR
TO THE GOVIRNOR-GENERAL OF THE MOREA,
AND TO THE COMMANDER OF THE TURKISH
TROOPS BEFORE ATHENS.
" L.'rd Viscount Strangford, the English Am-
bassador to the Sublime Porte, having learned that
the Ottomaii troops (may victory always attend
them !) are on the march to deliver Athens from the
rebels, who have taken possession of it, he has pre-
sented au official note, signed with hie respectable
-same, in which he signifies, that it would be highly
agreeable to his Majesty the King of Great Britain,
if orders were given for the protection and preserva-
tion of all the ancient edifices and temples, and
.other
ornaments of antiquity, which are it, the city
and the environs of Allies'', and which have always
been so highly interesting to the learned of Europe.
" Now as his Britannic Majesty is full of friend-
ship toward, the Sublime Porte, and the cordial
attachment and confidence between the two Go-
vernments daily increase, and as the temples and
other antiquities of Athens, have always excited the
admiration of Europe, it is becoming the dignity
of the Sublime Porte to adopt measures for the
preservation of these remarkable objects, and also
for the purpose of doing what may be agreeable to
the King of England, and to his Ambassador our
good friend.
" We therefore call upon you by your prudent
zeal and by the application of your authority to
issue the necessary orders to all whom it concerns,
that the ancient edifices in Athena and the vicinity
may be preserved uninjured, that uo damage may
be done to them, and that no complaints may be
made to us, by our friend the Ambassador, or by
ot hers, that our commands have not been punctually
obeyed."—l Hatabargh Correspondent, Sept. 22.)
ST. PETERSBURGH, SEPTEMBER 4.
Baron Strogoilutf, Minister from his Majesty to
the Ottoman Poste, who is arrived at Weiss with
the persons of his Legation, and has been detained
for some days in quarantine in that poet, is shortly
espected in this capital.--(Consereatear Ins-

The Military Gazette remarks upon an article
in a German Journal, respecting " British Africa."
—" With all due respect for the private sources of
information, as well as fur the Africa° papers, we
must confess that we are at a loss to discover
whence these japers mid private authorities know
that the power of England in the Two la-
dies may perhaps not long continue. We be-
lieve, on the contrary, that no prophecies are
so uncerteiu in the accomplishment, as those which
have fur their object • decline of the English power.
The latest event, sufficiently prove how egregiously
people have been mistaken on this subject. lie who
from a transitory pain in the little finger of a healthy
man should infer the decay of his strength, would
surely make a very false cosiclusion."
WARSAW. SEPTEMBER 12.
Our Gazette says—" Twu thusafand Greeks who
lied through the Bultowin t to Bessarabia, and
a great part from Wallachia to Transylvania, have
just now arrived at their destination. The Rus-
sians on the frontiers of Moldavia have retired to
their former positions.—( Homburg's Papers, Sep-
tember 21.)
