11011 RUSSIA, MARCH I.

On the 46th Janne/ (0. S.), there appeared at
St. Petersbserg,h U kiss, of very great importance,
and of which there •re few instauces in the annals
of the Russian administration of justice. It
passes judgment ou a great number of civil officers

M. de Speranski was appointed his successor, he re.
ceiverl ut the same time (riders to make a seport ou
all the existing abuses. This was done, and the
Emperor referred the report to the ex. ttt i t tenon of

President, and in which the two Ministers, Count
Gtiritco, and F. Goldgen, General Count Arakts-
ctirjeco, and Privy Counsellor. Speranski and Clio.
penhausen had a seat and a vote. The result
of their investigation, coutirused by the Emperor, is,
that 678 civil officers in Siberia have been removed,
punished, ur reprinnuided. Without going tutu

"ME BRITI S H PRES S.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY. Aram 17. 18n.

Account', we understand, were received in town
yesterday from Con.tantinople, of the I Ith of list
month, which speak of the continuance of the lie-
gociations, and of the delivery of a joint note by the
Ambassadors of the mediating Powers, requiring,
as it was supposed, the obsolete evacuation of Mol-
davia and Wallachia by the Ottoman troops. This
note was transmitted to the Reis Effendi on the
9th or 10th of the month, and in the ordinary course
of Turkish diplomacy an answer might possibly be
returned in less than a month. If such a note were
really delivered, we must presume that it did not
merely reiterate propositions in terms which have
hitherto been found ineffectual, and that a higher
and perhups a more peremptory tone has beets
adopted. The circumstance of any commuaics.
bon having taken place between the several parties
so late as the 10th of March, would tend to thqpr
considerable doubt upon the correctuessof those
previous statements which represented the them
as hewing. on the 27th of &bettor'', resolved to reject
the Uhioroloos of Russia, and to decline all further
discussion. Such a resolution would be tants.
mount to a declaration of war against Russia, sod
even against the Powers which had so iueffectaslly
interposed their mediation. We believe, however,
that these Powers are sincerely desirous of main.
taining the peace of Europe, and their smarty for
the assurance of this object might have induced
their Ambassadors to try again the chances of ne-
gotiation.
It is not quite site at any time to speculate
upon the statements which reach us through private
channels, ur the medium of the contitiental pews-
papers ; there is not always sufficient caution ob-
served is them to distinguish between autheutica-
ted facto and the result of idle reports. All
account., however, from the Continent concur in
saying that the evacuation of Moldavia and Wal-
lachia by the Turks forms the tine qua non of die
diplomatic efforts made by the Christian Powers.
Throe provinces, it would also appear, are de-
manded by Russia ass conipeosation to that Power
for the exertions that have lately been made in
equipping the force now assembled on the Pruth.
It cannot, however, be easily believed, whatever
feelings the several other Powers may entertain
respecting the conduct of the Ottoman Govern-
meld, sud the expediency of permitting it in its
present form to disgrace the political aspect of
Europe, that they would consent to see the Rus-
sian empire receive so fur ggg i g bible en accession of
strength as these two fine provinces. If the
exer-
cise of the military power of Resent were to be cam-
Pensated Oft all occasions its this proportion by
the unlucky country against which its force might
chance to be directed, a large premium would be
offered fur disputes, and there would be no want of
disagrermetits with the neighbouring states if the
settlement or differences were so eminently pro-
sluctive of profit to the Government of Russia.
We are no frith& to the empire of Turkey in
Europe, but it is historically trite that the conduct
of Russia towards the Ottoman l'orte has for a
long course of years Tema uniformly marked by
violence and deceit. The provinces of Wallachia
and Moldavia 114ve bees' perverted by Russia 11110

elamged them: character spriertrit
./ since the departure of the Russian
front Constantinople. While the Turks
sg the Greeks in every part of the
Porte chewed itself unwilling or
Tillable . stead protection to its Christian sub-
jects; while the temple. of CHRIST were in the
art of destroyed, and the altars were stream.
ise with the blood of the Priests and Bishops, every
C'brisiiiin Power was !mood to interfere for the pre.
'elution •f such excesses,. Russia took en active
vest in this generous proceeding, and the eyes
of tarope were tweed towards her exertions with
tAnigv of admiration and gratitude. Those exer-
lrious were eminently serviceable to the cause of
liumseity. The butchery of the Greeks was pro.
hibited by the Goeerornent with apparent good
faith, promises were made that the Christian
churches shosild be rebuilt, and assurances offered
by the Porte that its Christian subjects who sub-
mitted iliembelees to its authority should enjoy such
protective es it could afford.
If it were thought expedient by Russia and the
other Christiau Powers that Tot key ought not to be
'offered to exist, Degociatione ought not to have
been commenced, sold the swerd alone ought to
hare determined the controversy. By the con-
, linuance of negociations we ore to presume that
the extinction of this abominable power in Europe
is not cootempleted; we therefore feel that by the
cessation of the massacres, and the assurances
offered by the Porte, the ostensible object of Rus-
sia interference was accomplished, and that Kunio
had no right to insist upon any other terms of ac-
commodation. The time for attacking Turkey is
pissed, the causes that might have justified a Rus-
sian invasion have ceased to exist, and Russia has at
this moment no more right to invade Turkey than
Lelsogs to France, Spain, or Euglsod, or to the
Vaited States of America.

One of the Paris Papers of Saturday last, received
at oar Office says" On account of the length of
the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, we a►e
obliged to defer the foreign news until to-morrow."
Any news that would throw a light upon the re-
lations between Turkey and Russia would, at this
very critical moment, be important. The intelli.
genet., thin' deferred, we may therefore presume,
leaves the question exactly where it was.
