GERMAN PAPERS.

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.
