The Gomm of Lausanne of July Ii contains the
following article :—" A very letter from
Trieste informs as of a declaration of war pro.
claimed by Russia against the Porte, and of the
match of all the corps of the Russian array towards
the frontiers. That declaration it founded on the
multiplied outrages experienced by the Rotarian
agents, the infr.iction of existing treaties between
the two Powers, and the refuse of the Divan to
satisfy the claims frequently made upon it. If this
intelligence is confirmed, it will be productive of
immense results."

THURSDAY, AuotST 2, 1821.
We have received the Paris Papers of Sunday
last, hut with respect to the affairs of Turkey, and
the probability of an immediate war between the
Porte and Russia, we 'assent to say they give us no
intelligence on which we can place any confidence.
It stems that the intercourse between Baron STRO.
GONOFT at Constantinople and the Gutman Go-
vernment has not given cause of complaint to the
Russian Ambassador alone, but that the SULTAN
felt himself so much aggrieved by the conduct of
the Baron us to render it expedient iu his eyes to
transmit u memorial upon the subject, to the Court
of St. Petersburg& There are many who believe
that the Porte has even deeper cause of complaint
against the Russian Government, and that the pre-
sent insurrection within the Ottoman EntPire has
been excited hy the arts of Russis. If this suppo-
sition were founded in truth or probability, why
should the Russian army, panting as it is for ser-
vice against the Turks, still linger upon the Turkish
confines? or what was there to prevent the Emperor
ALEXANDER from furnishing indirectly to the kr.
surgents such mesas of successfully resisting the
power of the Porte as would in fact render it wholly
unnecessary for him to appear implicilted imme-
diately in a quarrel with his once formidable neigh-
bour ? Had Russia not publicly disclaimed the
early declarations of YPSILANTI, bat satisfied her-
self with offering to the Porte private, though hypo-
critical assurances of neutrality, the army of the
Christian insurgent, in the provinces north of the
Danube had not mouldered away so rapidly as it
has done, nor would its adventurous Chief have been

reduced to the necessity of wandering without
friends or followers in the territories of his enemy,
or of vainly seeking from Austria a shelter from his
pursuers. There can be no doubt that it has been
in times not long distant the policy sad constant
practice of Russia to excite disturbances within the
provinces of Turkey ; but ALEXANDER cannot be
insensible how much the relations that bind him to
the other Powers of Europe are changed since those
times to which we allude, and how impossible it
would be now for him to pursue with safety or effect
any designs of territorial aggmudizernent which he
might entertain against the Ottoman Empire. He
cannot suppose that the otl►er Powers of Europe,
which have so recently felt the mischief of au un-
wonted extent of power in France, and laboured to
repress the evil, could now so far forget their own
principles, sod sacrifice their individual interests,
as to suffer him now to pursue without check or
hind►ance s similar career of dangerous smbition ; his
experience must likewise teach him hole formidable
is the united strength of those Powers, and that they
are well capable of appreciating the benefits of acting
in concert. To what purpose therefore could the Em-
peror of RUSSIA excite • civil war in Turkey ? What
could he gain by such an event ? The watchful jea-
lousy of Europe would exclude the hopes °f at-Turing
new territories ; he timid not desire to weaken still
further by divissou • Power which is already con•
teuiptible ; be could not hope to extend the com-
mercial adviintages how enjoyed by pis subjects Oil
the Black Sr., and it would not be his interest so
to alter the character of the government of the
countries now subject to the Turkish donnoion as to
give it greater energy arid weight in the affairs of
the political world. The conduct ascribed tri him
is not consistent with probability, or with the ~
esAi•
mute which his biro geueially formed of trieTgp-
peror's character.
But it is certain that the Porte dues attribute to
the insidious politics of Russia the ',resell alarm
rug insurrection, and the conduct of t: c Ambassa-
dor is, no doubt, regruded as being in attict unison

Accounts from Viennasay, that great activi y pre-
leads in the war department, and that the AuArian
:army on the Turkish frontiers was to receive large
reinforcements; but the silence of the Austria* Ob-
server, the demi.otbcisl journal of the Government,
upon the affairs of Turkey, would imply that no
decided steps had as yet been adopted by the Cabi-
net of Vienna. There is a constant communica-
tion by couriers between Vienna and St. Peters.
burgh, and it is said that these Cabinets have jointly
commenced negociations with the Porte, for the
purpose of giving all the security which treaties
can bestow upon the lives and properties of the
Greeks. In there negocistiona Turkey has, it is
said, prayed tl.e mediation of Great Britain and
France ; but what faith can be reposed in bar-
barian', or what security can treaties afford
to the unhappy Greek., when the Government of
Turkey is avowedly unable to restrain the impe-
tuous cruelty of its licentious soldiery and brutal
populace ?
Nothing certain seems to be known of Prince
YPSILANTI. It is said, however, in a Nuremberg
Paper, on the authority of a courier from Vienna,
that the corps-grannie of Prince CANTANUTEIIO,
stationed in Upper Moldavia, had defeated some de-
tachments of Turk., and that Jassy hid again fallen
into the power oldie Greeks. The expectation dim
*prelims invasion by the Russians and Austrians
might give new courage and strength to the insur-
eddite, but the report of the reconquest of Jassy
is not probable.

state that the city of Coro surrendered to the In-
