RIDA, NOVEMBER 10.
General Illiloradovitsch continues in his post of
Oicivernor of Petersburgh. The Grand Duke. Con-
, 'tontine and Nicholas commend their different bri-
gades in the guard, and it is said they have already
NI out for their destination. In the event or s war
Russia will not have any great movements to
Nolte. The several corps are so posted that im.
wiedistely when one advances it is replaced by an-
other. The whole army would be ready to march
in 24 hours.
FRANKFORT, DECEMBER 15.

Our commercial letters *au Hamburgh are by
no means of a pacific nature; they foranully con-
tradict all the accounts favourable to the mainte-
nance of peace which continue to be circulated at
Vienna, and which are repeated at Frankfort with
a view to keep up the Austrian funds.

VIENNA, DECEMBER 8.
The following are further extracts from the ac-
counts last received from Constantinople, dated to
the 10th of November :—.

" Nothing is as yet positively decided upon the
important question of peace or war. The deposi-
tion of the last Reis•Effendi has caused a suspen-
sion in the negociations. On the 30th of October
dispatches of the highest importance had arrived
from Petersburgh, and on the rime day a courier,
expedited from Vienna, arrived at the hotel of M. de
Lutzow, the Austrian Interinincio at Pen. This
Minister held conferences the same day with the
diplomatic body, and especially with Lord Strang-
ford, the British Minister, to whom, in conformity
with his instructions, be intimated the views and
intentions of Austria, on the subject of the diffe-
rences between Russia and the Porte. On the fol-
lowing day M. de Lutzow in vain solicited a pri-
vate audience of the Reis-Effendi, whose unex-
pected deposition was known on the next day.-
Sadik-Effencli, who has long been employed in the
Department of Foreign Affairs and more recently
in the office of the Grand Vizir, has been ap-
pointed in the place of Humid-Bei. This amnion.
Lion is not displeasing to the diplomatic body.—
Sadik has the character of being well versed iu the
policy of Europe. On the 4ih of November the
Austrian Minister repeated his solicitations for an
audience, for the purpose of apprising the Porte
officially of the tenor of the dispatches which lie
had received from Vienna. The Porte declined
this request under the pretext that the new Reis-
Effendi was not yet installed. On the following day
the diplomatic body met at the request of M. de
Lutzow at the palace of the Austrian Embassy, for
the purpose of concerting a joint Note to be addressed
to the Porte, insisting on the accomplishment of the
wishes of the Court of St. Petersburg!), adding, that
in the event of a refusal the Courts of Europe would
cease to interest themselves in favour of the Porte,
or exert their good services to accommodate its dif-
ferences with Ruevis. This Note was sent, but at
the time of the departure of the courier from Con-
stantinople uo miswer had been returned. The
Porte had not given its final answer to the Russian
sehimatem, but a belief generally prevailed at Pent
that the Divan, in conformity with a resolution
already token, under the influence of Haled
Effendi, the Grand Seiguor's principal favourite,
tin:: rejected du, proporals of Russia. It was gene-
rally believed by the people of Constantinople list
Rusoia had excited the Persian invasion, and a
spirit of hatred and revenge against the Russians
had in cousequence appeared among the Turks."
On Tuesday the Grasshopper, 18, Capt. flu-
CIIAN, arrived at Portsmouth from (ha Newfound-
land station, and has ranee gone into harbour to be
refitted and return thither. She left St. John's on
the sth inst. The kgeria, Drake. Clinker, and
Neater, were to winter there ; the Valorous, Capt.
Mt:am, was to return to &glom!.

MONDAY. Declaim 24, MI.

We have received Paris IF%yers or Wednesday
and Thursday belt. Them was a •euislie sitting of
the Chamber of Peer, on Wednesday last, but
lathing appears ill the 'public Journals except a
meagre bulletin_ of the proceedings. No public
sitting is no yet announced for the Clamber of
Deputies. Nothing has transpired to maid), the
People.. of France respecting the character .r the
par'. 'which is in contemplation for checking the li-
,tentionssiess of the press ; but it is tolerably aping.
rent that the present Alinisters ure not, at least in
practice, very hostile to the system of a 'Breslow*
censorship, for the Papers of Wednesday and
Thursday exhibit several blank spaces us evidence
of the continued operation of the law, which the
Minister. say ought not to be continued. There
is too much of inconsistency in this conduct to
justify a very favourable interpretation of their
motives in withdrawing the project of law which
their predecessors had submitted to the Chamber
of Deputies.
All accounts from the-East concur in represent.
ing the Persists invasion as being highly formidable
to the Turkish dominions in Asia. This event is
attributed by the Turks to the influence which
Russia is supposed to exercise with " the Great
King ;" and it is not improbable that this impres.
sion may have had some effect in giving an unfa-
vourable turn to the negoristious between Russia
and the Porte. An interesting account from Vi.
enna, which will be found in our extracts from the
Paris Papers, raises a strong presumption that a
war with Russia is unavoidable. The Turks are
said to be all armed, the nation has risen en nesse.
and it is certain that even though a war with
Russia should not occur, there are still dangers
enough surrounding the Turkish Empire to render
the fullest developement of its forces absolutely
necessary. The Persians are advancing irresistibly
into the heart of the Asiatic dominions; the Arme-
nians, whom the cruelty, avarice, and fanaticism
of the Turks have subjected to. the same mea-
sure of injury, rapacity, and insult, that had
been meted to the Greeks, have declared for the
invaders, or asserted their national independence.
The Wechabites have again appeared in arms,
bringing with them ill the terrors of their na-
tive valour, heightened by a furious fanaticism,
and threaten the sacred cities of Mecca and Me-
dina. The Druses and Maronites, people hitherto
tributary to the Porte, take advantage of the pre-
sent circumstances of the empire, and strive to
throw of the burden of the Turkish yoke. We
further learn from Vienna the important fact, that
the diplomatic body in Constantinople assembled
at the hotel of the Austrian Minister, and in
a joint Note apprised the Porte that all the
Powers of Europe will abandon it to its fate
should it refuse to assent to the proposals mode
by Russia. No answer had been returned to this
Note at the lime of the departure of the lust courier
I for Vienna.

On Tuesday the Raleigh sloop of war, Captain
