between the Porte and the %mien Ambassador,
Baron Strogonoff, and the latter had renewed the
assurance of the strictest centrality on the part of
Russia. For the rest, there cannot be the slightest
ides of an insurrection of the Greeks in the capital,
they being wholly destitute of arms, the late
Patriarch, who was so infamously murdered, having,
when he issued hie anathema, caused the arms of
all the Greeks to he demanded from them and de-
livered to the Sultan. The Sultan, of his own

the newly-appointed Patriarch died the next day
from fright at his elevation, which took place under
the most inauspicious circumstances.
Accounts from Semlin, of the ititd inst. say, that
a report was spread at Belgrade, that the Turkish
corps besieging Joaunins, under the committal of
Jessaf Paella, had been entirely destroyed, and
that Jassaf himself was among the killed. At the
same time we hear again from various quarters of
the murder of Ali Riche, and the seizure of his
treasures by the Greeks ; but as this news has been
spread fir these three weeks, and is not confirmed
by authentic intelligence, it must still be consi-
dered as doubtful.

The Prince Della Cisterns is expected here.
Ai the political affairs of Italy have remained
wholly foreign, not only to the city of Frankfort,
but alm to the German Confederation, considered
as one 'political body, it is baldly to he expected
that any difficulties will be thrown in the way of

Our fair, which is now finished, may be called
a tolerably good fair. There were not niany-Greeks,
hut the merchants from Brady, and some Russians,
inade.large purchases of silk and other expensive
snick'. The English had on the whole a good
fair, though some sold large quantities of goads
very cheap. The Wool fair is now began. Fine
wool being employed in so many articles of all
expensive %ismer, maintains last year's prices. The
stone (ttlbs.) has been sold hitherto at 34 to 40 rix
stollen; a Nd,lliaq stool is the cheapest its propor-
tion ; costes *tool tosiutoins its price.—( Notreo.
