?AIM WA«CR 23

Our Journals mention, that a duel has been
fought between Prince Dnlgorucki and another of
the Russian hides-de-Camp, M. Winz•:-.gerride, in
which the Prince was Infhz:i. The Prince was
always a violent advocate f..r the war. M. Win-
aingerode, his antagonist, was not less distinguished
for his adherence to the peace party. The late
defeats of the Russians have had a sensible influence
upon the latter.
The following are the Letters of the Minister for
Foreign Affairs of Russia, which have been inter-
cept- ; they were addressed to Connt Italinski,
Minister Plenipotentiary to the Conrt of Peterolonrg :
ss Sts—Wtoos, by order of His Imperial Ma-
jesty, I sent you the Messenger Koulisschkowsky,
the time necessary to receive your answer was cal-
culated here; and means prepared, at the same
time, to obtain, in a different manner, the results
which the constantly amicable representations of
our August Court, with the Sublime Porte, had not
presented us with. The Me senger might have re-
turned by the Ist of Oftber ; aid, as we had no
news of him at that time, His Majesty had reason
to conclude, that the Porte had given you no satis-
factory answer; or at least that she attempted to pro-
long the negotiation in order to gain time, and pre-
pare means of resistance, in concert with the com-
mon enemy. A:though neither this one nor the
other of these hypotheses square with the most
essential interests of His Imperial Majesty, he
wonld not, however, hurry any thing for ward ;
and still flattering himself that Sultan Selim
would at 'rig It perceive, on the ore side,
toe repeated proofs of Ili; Majesty's moderation
and loyalty, and, on the other, the snares laid for
him (the Sultan) by Ministers little worthy of the
confidence of weir SOvereign, His Majesty deter-
mined to delay, to the 15th of October, all further
measures ; persuaded that if, about this time, ad-
vice, did not art ive from you, no doubt was to be
entrtained of the existence of one of these pre-
supposed cases. _ _

It was not without a painful feeling that; His
Majesty saw the term fixed on draw near, without
any intelligence whatever concerning the result of
the steps you had taken with the Sublime Porte, to
throve light on the proceed:ngs which henceforth the
Imperial Court was to follow with regard to it.
In thi. state of uncertainty, there Was no other
reaoiution left for the Emperor to adopt, than w
to.low, with firmness and perseverance, the plan
which His tvlajesti bad previonsly traced out fur
the rn Anunance of his dignity and righti., as well
as to lead hack the Porte, by an extraordinary com-
mofii.n, to the only principles-which the niost posi.
itttet‘ Ms commanded her invariably to tolOw.
In cinoetwence, Ge:t. Michelson, Corn.nanier.in-
Chief of the army on the Dniester, received orders
to enter sluldavia, not as an enemy, as malevo-
lence v.:II not fail to cause him to he locked on,
but with the sole intention of re-establishing the
old si iations which have so long subsisted between
the two empires, in pursuance of treaties, to prevent
the pernicious eff,tt at the French domination
which prevails a: Constantinople, anJ which threat-
ens the P.irte with a total setviztole ; and finally to
paralise the designs Wilily given out by Sebastiani,
to cause a Frenc.f army to cross the Ottoman Em-
pire in order to attack us on the Dni.ster. Such
were the pressing motives for the ureters given by
Gen. Michelson, dated the Stith ()Sober. Such
were also the sense and spirit of these orders, which
this General was to publish from the time of his en-
trance into Moldavia, boih with the Government of
that Piincipaiity, that of Wallachia, and with the
different Paellas commanding tortresses on the
Dniester and the Danube.

E;git days atter the expedition of these orders,
i. e. the 234 Ottober, we received your relation; of
the 6.13 th of the same m',nth, by which you state
the rein meat of the Princes Mot ouzi and YFsia
lanti, confining yourself to this simple information,
without entering into the least detail on any thing
which might enlighten the Imperial Ministry con-
cerning circumstances of this nature. Whatever
might have been the desire of the Emperor cur an.
gust Master, to revoke, from this time, the orders
yawn to Gen. Michelson, His Imperial Majeity has
thought it to be his duly to wait the further (Waif.
eluemenis state., in your report of the 6-11th Oao•
her, in order to obtain a more positive and detailed
d.,ia, concerning subjeas of so important a nature,
and to be enabled to take measures in consequence.
On these remits, we received yaw &Greta dis-
patches of the 16-23 d Oaober. 1 do Lot con-
ceal from you, Sir, that by their co;tents
Imperial Majesty has not observed, without grief
and surprise, that in such a crisis, you should have
cosseeived it a duty to confine yourself to the mere
reinstatement of the Princ.s.

“ Whatever be the interest that, under so many
cnnsiderations, the Empetor has heess forced to take
in maintaining, with regard to the Porte, this part
of his rights, yieu caning, however, Sir, be ignorant,
that they are not the only ones which His Majesty
is well entitled to claim t and that, besides, the prin-
cipal end the Imperial Court has in view, bring to
ascertain, in a positive manner, the dispositions of
the rein:. this single and naked dearmstratinn,
carried into effed with so bad a grace, cannot sit.
to afford us, in this reaped. that guarante; which
we hold to be indispeatable. Who can some* to us,
in fad, that this partial saustadion has not been
given to us by the Porte, in consequet ce of advice
even of our common enemies ? The different con
terms' which the Ambassador Sebasoani had with
Ihrahim-Kiaya, and the other Ministers of the Porte,
in the course of this negotiation, plead but too
much in favour of this supposiuou.
Let us sappose, for a moment, that the dis-
missal of the Idlospodars had been the only grievance
which wehad to charge the Pone with t how, even
in tliii caw, could we rely with certainty upon the
shift and full execution of the Tui.414111” which tat
Imperial Ciatrt has just obtained, atter the mare
than ecrivochl ter:!•versation of Prince trlorousi. and
in the sad state which WAII.cI).• is reilticed to, the
fines: Fart of *lnca a invaded by the train of

Paswan *Oglotr, wie:out the Porte appearing to I
have eithet the intention or the necessary mrAns to
repress these disorders. Were it. then. nnly under
the latter consideration, His Majesty cannot be sa-
tisfied with the sAtisfAion given, before be he as-
sured that it will have its full cleft; and it is for this
purpose that the presence of the Russian troops
mest eiicacionslr connibnie to restate to the two
Principalities, pat Ocilla: ly to Wallachia, that scat... of
calmness and stout ity Which the Impel iat Ciart has
guaranteed to them by the most solemn transac-
tions. You very well comprehended, that it is not
the persons of the llospodars, bloronsi and Ypsi.
'anti, that essentially interest the Imperial Court,
taut the tranquillity and welfare of the two Ptinci-
palities entrusted to their administration. It is
thence that ensues the obligation. whin t r'tssia is
tinder, of supporting an order of things which was
only established by her intervention, and under her
auspices; and she can no longer tolerate the vexa-
tions with which PaiWill3 °igloo, and other Ayaas.
approximate to ‘Vallachia, overwhelm that un-
fortunate province, without essentially derogating
from what she owes to herself.

•• lndepen:lent of these considerations, which re•
late exclusively to the taro Principalkic there are
others which would not know His Imperial Majeaty
to look upou the satisfadien which he has jest ob-
tained, as a sufficient pledge of the sincerity of the
Porte. in her return to tl.e principles whic:i have
occasioned our remonstrances. Not to repeat again
the new grievances set fcrth in my dispatch of the
86th August, I shall confine myself to recapitulat-
ing the principal ones, without the redress of, which,
His Imperial Maje►ty will never think he can rely
.npon the friendly dispositions of the Porte towards
bim, with a security, which tha safety of his States
Requires, combined with the preseot situation of ge-
neral.afFairs.

Tin pretension of attempting to hinder the
passage of His Majesty's ships of war and transports
through the Canal of Constantinople, and the reite-
rated difficulties which the Porte has thought proper
to manifest upon recent occasions, but too evidently
demonstrate the blind submission of the Tutkish
Government to tie will nt France, and the incal-
culable deviations into which 'these dispositions may
lead it, since it no longer tespefis the most cilemn
treaties. To obtain, in this respeft, a guarantee,
proportionate to the im?ortance which we ought to
;lace in the preservation of our right of passage
through the Canal. 114 imperial Majesty thinks it
his duty to demand a solemn and sutt.entio dec;a-
nuion, by which the Ports shall ohlige herself,
never, and in no CAW, in the least to obstruet it,
un'er any pretext wt:atsoever.
'• Another olive, to which the Imperial Court
must attach equal importance, is the renewal of the
treaty of alliance between the Porte and Great
Britain. The motive which makes His imperial
Majesty wish that this renewal may take place as
soon as possible, is moreover only a consequence of
his dispositions, constantly friendly towards the
Sublime Porte; and of the solicitude with which
I lis Majesty endeavours to maintain the independence
and integrity of the Ottoman Empire; fur if, on
the one side, it is evident that the Porte would
thereby free itself, for a long time, from the demo-
tic influence of the French Governm-ut, it is not
less so on the other, that, in persisting in her re-
fusel to the British Government, she mig!l, at
length, provoke the reseinment of a power, whose
great maritime nieaii. would nut fail to become
fatal to her.

" To sum up the contents of this dispatch, which
I have the tmnour to address to you, by express order
of our august Sovereign, you will observe that His
Imperial Majesty cannot thick the relations existing
between Rusiia and the Ottoman Empire as replaced
upon their ancient bases; but

eioehties of M dd.via and Wallachia, by the .lilierent stipula-

demands come to the knowledge of the Grand Sig•
nor, through the channel which shall appear to you
most proper, and not to let His Highness be igno•
rant of all the importance which our august hove.

But you take care, at the same time, to assure
Sultan Sella), in the most positive manner, that it
is with great repugnance the Emperor has been on•
der the necessity of having recourse to the military
occupation of the two Principalities ; and that this
determination, far from concealing any hostile in-
tention against the Ottoman States, has no other
aim than those declared above ; but still mere
particularly the ardent desire of Hi: Imoerial Ma-
je ty, to be so much the mere able to ball • the pro-
j• ets of korai in which the French Government has
ever manifested at the expense of Turkey rand which,
in the present conjtinelum, in which Bonaparte will,
no doubt, mail himself of the pretext of the rein-
statement of the Hospodars, might soon be on the
eve of being put in execution. In general, you will
omit notring to convince Sultan ziellm, more and
more, of the constancy of the sentiments of Irie.i.l-
- and consideration which the Emperor has
vowed to him; adding, that His Majesty will only
wait the accession of the Porte to the just demands
wnicli you are incrudied to address to her by the
present, to give her ■new the most unequivocal
proofs of it. From that time Hie Majesty would
testify the greatest readiness to arrange the different

That the Sublime Porte nor hart. g :eased to dis•
play a propensity and partiality in twniit or Frap.Nr,
had, particularly sire* the arrival in that drive-. al
residence of Geratal Sebastimsi, tin French Am•
changed lar principles and system teu
wards her own Allies.
T:rat the said Anil artador. !livings few days after
lit arrival, ptesented a Note. whicbc.ara,ura e-rain

its unbar inunerliat-ly expelled from the fluniorne
Porte ; but that, on the contrary, the Sublim. Porte,
giving a favourable receptive to the said Ni.ite, hid
signified to Riirsia ...hat her ships of war must no
longer cross the Strait of the Slack Sea.
The:. in the AfFsir of the ennfi,inistinn of tae
Hospoiars of Wallacbia and Moldavia, an affair
which wok place a ttic seqa. lof the preceding one,
the Sublime Porte ought. at the very instant. to have
seceded to it ; but Lot tardy ennseat, w: was
not granted until three weeks after the formal de•
mend made by the Rnssfan Envoy, was a proof cf
the superior ionise/tee' acquired by the Court of
France.

Tiia,, in consegitente, the Courts of England and
Russia have settled and arranged between them•
selves, that the one sh convey troops by land to
the Mussultnan territory, whilst the other shouid
send its fleet by sea-to ihy capital of the °nevus
Empire. It the tiuSlitne Porte will immediately'
proceeJ to the renewa: of her alliance with tae uid
Courts of F.nglsnd and Russia, on the ancient kn.
ing, and if she wiU drive the above•said Fiena
Ambassador from the Imperial residence, the WV
shall immediately cea-e ; but should it be n•`te-ww,
the rapture of ttiendsby with England, is Ilene-
forth inevitable.

THE BRITISH PRESS.

LONDON,
SATURDAY, AralL 4.

We have received French Papers to the 2s'h
last. The M,./sitter. contains the Sixty-fifth and
Six`y-tixth Bull-tins of the Grand Army, both dated
Orterode, the farmer on the 10th, the latter the lath
last. 'the position of the respective armies is dis-
tinaly laid down in these articles. The French oe-
copied a lime (torn the mouth of the Passarge. at
Besonsherg, along that river, to Liebstadt and Moh-
rin*tl4 thence crossing to the right bank through Gus'
stadt and Allenstein, to the little river Omulcio. The
Rusin Army appears to be concentrated on the
side of B.vtinstein, upon the Abe, and the Prus-
sian division ma the side of Crentzbourg, ahout
said-way between Bartenstein and Koningsberg.
Both armies thus appear to be very much concen-
trated, p.irticularly the Russians. They effeeled this
by a re:mgr.-Ide movement towards Koningsberg, a
very judicious measure ; as it appears to hare
teen tha intention of BONAPARTZ to repeat
"e mamceuvre which brought on the bat-
tle of Cyltu, by auempting to turn the ene
Tny'; left wing. In this situation. the Bulletins
"y. the French army remains in cantonment,
where it continues to tike its repose. Such re-
97se few will envy it; for scarcely a day ap-
-,vars to have passed. on which this repose was
rot et:•,erbod by the Russians. These restless and
tmnlilcsorne neighbours beat up the French quarters
the Ist of Id arch ; afterwards. at lA'illen-
burgh ; and on the Mb at Guttstadt. Pie atlions,
however, are represented as mere skirmishes. anti
the resuiss favourable to the French. Meanwhile,
the 7rench have invested Dainzic and Colberg. An
attempt, on the part of the Russians, to relieve
than, would bring nn a general ergagernent. The
French Papers ako contain an intercepted letter to
the Ri's.laN A 4RAssAllnk, at the Poore, ex-
plaining the policy of Ops'a, in relation to Turkey.

Some of Elie Papers are sn much carried away by
party spirit, and sa many attempts have been made
N Ora the public mind, we are almcst afraid to

make an observation of any force or strength spun
the present critical state of effeirs, lest we should
Maw the suspicion of bring adu tied by the prin-
ciples and motives which we condemn in the con-
do& of others. This contreektion is not confined to
the collision of Prints in adverse interests; it preveils
even among the' I reasery Pilots, which drink at
the same feuntain of knowledge, and take their
lessons from one and the same master. Thus, a
Morning Paper of yesterday, devoted to the Minister,
assures us, that the uctv Ministers have already pre
pared a grand expedition, end that they have not lost
a moment to cultivate nun improve our fore* re-
lations. An Evening Print, in the same interest, on
the contrary, assured its readers, last night, " that
not one Foreign tvimis:er has been yet recalled, nor
any one eppoiutment yet taken place; but that these
reports of cheiiges are only • meietterre of the &-
Milian's, to impress the public with an idea, that
every thing is to be thrown into confusion " Under
these circumstances, then, we feel it our duty toavail
ourselves of every means in our power. to awe!
that censure which We bestow upon others. One
obvious mode of caution is, to quote the identical
words of the petty Prints which we seek to expose.
Our premises will taus stand free from the possibility
of contredletion. and upon the fairness of our in-
ferences the public will decide. We stated. in a
former paper, that the •prestint Ministers casuot
stand without a disseltrion of Parliament; and we
have good season to believe it has been signified to
them, that they must not epee that expedient will
he resorted to for their convenience. It we wanted,
ever, any'proof teat such is the fad, The Cowie.,
f last night, would he surge ent to re cove al: doubt.
It curtains a long and elaborate article to prove
he wisdom and volley of a dissolution of Polio.
ment, at this particular moment. That we may
not be charged with misrepresentation, we give the
following passages. " There is a complete justifi•
cation," says The Courier," " of the exercise of
the Kino's Prerogetere of dissolving Vehement,
when the Kisto's Servants; who. on such occasion,
must be eSing agreeably to his wish cannot ob-
tain the support of Parliemeat to the resistance or
support of some great measure " Again, " A Par-
liament, which has not set four Jays, may render a
dissolution necessary by ire condo& ; indeed. it is ob-
vious that such a Parliament is mere likely to ireur
this necessity, than one which, having sat keverel
sessions, has preyed its principles, and is known by
its coneuet." Ateerding to tint mod. of reason-
into the Parliament is to be conei ierea as a poee
man would iris child. It is better that it should
the in its infancy, than after he had the trouble
and expense if rating it. But why net apply
the same argument to the Ministry ? The Mi-
' iiistry is still younger than the Parliament. and
has bad no orportunity of endearing itself to His
MAJESTY. If it be a qaesam, then, whether the
Minister or the Parliament is to give way, the for-
-1 ener. according to the rule laid down by 'I& Courier,
is entitled to tile preference. That the Kora, by hi:
prerogaive, may dissolve the Parlienient, when lout
days old, or four heurs old, no man will dispute ;
hut it would be a waste of time to enumerate the
consequences of this ergument, if pushed to its ex-
, mine. If the KING were to dissolve every new
Parliament, the mimetic it was chosen, the Gen-
try would be worn out in a year, and the Hnuse of
Commons be filled with only such persons as the
Minister should think fit to appoint.—lt is idle,
therefore, to argue these extreme cases. The spi-
rit of the Censtitution will always assist the
Royal Prerogative to aveid them. But why dissolve
the Posliament ? " There are," says Tire Cour.er,
es iff almost all boroughs. cities, and even in many
comic:, certain persons, from Dukes down to shop-
' keepers ; who, from situation or effort, acqeke an
ascendancy among the Elettors. These persons
will not stir with their troops, till they can make
their assistance a great favour. for uhich they
look to a return. The Treasury knows them all ; or,
if it does not, they take care to mike themselves
known. The Treasury sends to reqiiest their as-
sistanee. or they offer their assistance; in either
case, the consequences are pettedly understood.
In this way it is, that the Government Departments,
but the Treasury in particular, possesses such an
influence in a General Election, and lays the Cendi-
r dates under such obligations ; compelling them, in
point of honour. for there is what they call honour,
even in these infamous transadions, to vote
through thick and thin with the Ministers who
thus assist them." So then, the Ministers seek a
dissolution of Parliament. that they may corrupt
the Eaters, and those who influence the Eleetres,
Ilona the Duke down to the ,;iopkerper, in every
county of Engi Ind. The bitterest enemy of the
Ministers could not, dare not make so wicked a
charge against them ; nor could the most violent
Jacobin ever produced by the French revolution'
have drawn a piastre more calculated so degrade
the Commons of England in their own eyes, and
