FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
The Cimstibaio»ncl contains a long article, dated
Hamburgh, 6th April, respecting the negotiations
said to be on foot bet Ween England and Denmark,
for the exchange of all the islands of Denmark,
being Sealand, Funen, &c. and the Peninsula of.
Jutland' as far as the river Eitker, against the king.
don of Hanover; t ngtand would take upon Ida*
t.i: LLnish debts, the desire of commanding the
cntrenee of the Ealtic, and thus having an effectiml
check on the commerce of Russia; and secondly the
possibility of the separation of the Crown of Hanover
trent that of Englund, in case the latter should de-
volve to a female, are stated as the motives of Eng-
land for seeking this excharv-.
Faasstroper, APRIL 9 —lt is affirmed that the
Kingef England and the Archduchess Maria Louisa,
Duchess of Parma, are expected at Vienna towards
the end of the month of May, this year.
News lied been received at Odessa that the Turk-
ish Government is fortifying Constantinople. Above
10,000- men ate employed on these works, which
are thrown up in great baste.
The most contradictory accounts are circulated
respecting the Greek and Turkish fleets. Some
letters still continue to affirm that there has been a
action, in which the Greeks were victors.
Others assert that. nothing is vet decided; lastly,
there are letters which pretend that the Turkish
firer hes returned to the Archipelago. We expect,
with impatience, the news from St. Petersburgh.
It is supposed that the Mauitesto of Russia will soon
aprar.
The Austrian Government publishes absolutely
nothing respecting the news of the East. Private
letters say, that M. de Lutzow has not been treated
of Lite be the Ministers of the Por,le with the res-
pea due to hint, us u representative of the Court of
• Vienna, and for his pdranetel charassar.
The German Diet will resume its sittings on the
1!::1: instant. It is still believed that an important
communication will be made to that Assembly in the
narne. of Austria, relative to the present situation of
Tetley.

The Sultan approved an those decisions, and gave
Orders to the Grand Visier to cause his intention to
be notified by the Reis Mitch to the foreign am-
bassadors, and to explain to them, at the same time,
• the reasons which had induced the Porte to take
such a resolution.
It is nffirrosal.that besisies this, it was also resolved '
in this Divan, thatist4i4nf anew war with Chris.

Was already under coiiilderation during the war of
the I'orte with Austria and Russia, in the reigns of
Joseph and Catherine; but the execution of which
was then hindered by the victory of Suwarrow and
Prince Coburg.
Seamier, MAltc 26.—Couriers have this morn,
ing arrived at Belgriuleafrom Constantinople. The
news from this last city are of the 20th of Morelia,.
Every thing was in the greatest fermentation ; and
an insurrection of the Janissaries had excited still
greater consternation among the inhabitants. The
Sultan, in consequence of the preparations for war
which are continued with the greatest activity, hail
also ordered a presi of senors, which was already
carried into execution with great rigour, an livithout
respect of persons. SomeflOrtas of the Janissaries
who had been ordered for the sea service, have posia
tively refused. Their threats and vociti:rations
soon excited the fury of the other Ortas, and they
pruecedod to acts of violence towards their officers.
—The new-Aga of the Janissaries, lately appointed
by the Sultan, was the fit* victim of their rages—
His predecessor, who was discharged on account of
the disorders which took place on the arrival of the
head of Ali Paella, was unmediately reinstated in
that important post. The-Janissuries, after having
murdered their chief, dispersed about the streets of
Constantinople, and gave loose, without restraint,
to their hatred of the Christians: All they met
in the streets, =of whatever nation, Were massacred.
l'Conetantiauple is now as light at night as in
the d.iy time, on account of the ti:es of the bivouact
which fill the city and the environs, This great
city resembles a vast camp, and the hope of
making war on the accursed (Thetas (the Russians),
and ofenriching themselves by pillage, excites in all
the Mussulmen extraordinary joy and enthusiasm.
Their religious seal, which has been rather less ve-
hement for some years past, has now resumed all
its impetuosity, and the people ore more latiaticel
than ever.
The accounts from Epirus and Albania are fa-
vourable to the Grcekt. Chourschid Pucha is SO
occupied with the Suliots and Albanians, that he
has not .yet been able to think of exeeuting the
orders of the Sultan, or of proceeding with his army
to the Mores. All the men able to bear arms in
the Pachalik of Joannina have resumed them, and
endeavour by every means to prevent the carrying
away of the treasures of Ali Pacha.
On the frontiers of Basalt' the Turks have had
vicleot quarrels with time chiefs of the Busniac tribes;
and in the partial actions which have taken place
the latter have always had the advantage. In Ser-
via, on the contrary, all is yet tranquil. Prince
Miloseh ootalaets hints; If with great prudence; but
it may be foreseen that this calla will not be of lettg
duration. When hostilities break out between the
Russians end Turks, there is little doubt that the
Serviuns, 'who have been so long oppressed, will
again take up aims, and'endeavour to tau advan=
tage of this opportunity filially, to throw off the
Ottoman yoke.
Accounts from Odessa of the 9:11 of March say,
that whatever has the remotest connexion with the
Greeks, or with the struggle which is about to com-
mence, excites the liveliest interest in the public.

VIENNA, APRIL G —We are still in the same un-
certainty respecting the affairs of Ttakey. The
following are curious details of the grand sitting of
the Divan, in which the question wis decided:—
The question was to know whether the demands
of Russia were admissible or not, after that power
Lad declared that the unreserved acceptance of its
demands would alone be satisfactory. The Sultan
heard the deliberations in this important sitting,
c ncenled behind the curtain of a window opening
from. his Cabinet into the Council-room. All the
great men and Viziers of the Porte then at Constan-
thiople were invited to attend; a similar invitatiol.
was sent to the chiefs of the Janissaries and of the
ilemas. It was reasonably inferred that the ques-
tion of peace or war was to be decided. (Here fol-
lows a list of many of the great officers of state, &c.
wl:o were present.)
The Mufti and the chiefs of the Ulemas having
declared that several of the demands of the Vus-
covites were contrary to the principles of Ismalism,
and to the dignity of religion, the Grand Vizier, us
President of the Divan, proposed the following
question:—

" Is it just and conformable to the principles of
the Holy loran to raise the standard of the great
Prophet, and to call to arms the Nlussulmen of the
East and of the Vest, when demands like these indi-
cated are addressed to the Prince of the Faithful?"
On which the Mufti said, " Yes, it is just." These
words were immediately repeated by ail the ijlemas.
The following question was next proposed :—" Is it
dust and wise to withdraw the Mt.ssulmen from the
principalities of Moldavia and %Vslachia, while the
Muscovites have assembled on the frontiers a nume-
rous corps, which they will not dissolve?" To which
those present answered unanimously, "No; that
would notte just, it would not be wise."
The fidlowing questions were then discussed
" Can the administration of the two frontkr pro-
vinces be intrusted in future, as it has hither to been,
either to the perfidious and traitorous Greeks or to
I3eyars?" The answer was uanimously. " No,
ti.at is impossible.",.—" Can we restore to the rebel-
lious Rojas uil their churches and their privileges so
long (IA they obstinately persist in their disobedience
to the Sublime Porte?" " No, that cannot be."—

posed to change its system. there would be a great
catastrophe at Constantinople, of which the great
men of the empire would be the victims.
Bitosstas. APRIL 19.=1'he official Journal con-
tains the following article :—" We learn that on the
3d of this month an extraordinary courier set out
from the Hague for Rome, and that his departure,
and the faary,of his Excellency the Director General
of the eMetiet the Catholic worship for Jamie weeks
itt that tott)n, make it imagined ant) hoped that a
Concordat will be shortly concluded between the
two Courts ; the erection of several new Bishoprics
in the kingdom is even spoken of."
•
Our accounts from the frontiers of France say,
that the Marquis of Jumilhac continues to iuspect
all the garrisons of the fortresses in his division. fie
has every where found reason to praise the discipline
and good spirit that distinguish the troops. We are
informed that ends.saries have endeuvoured by cri-
minal to excite a fermentation among
some regiments ; but they have completely failed.
There never was strewn Such strict vigilance along
the whole northern frontier with respect to stranger's
who pass that way.
Captain Masker, coming from Cette, on board the
brig La Fidelite, was stopped on the North ScK by
a pirate, who took away his water, his liquors, and
the best part of the effects of the Captain and the
pilot.
Hameunatt, Arnie IL—The whole of the
second Russian army is immediately going to assents
ble in a great camp near the town of Winmeza, in
Podolia. His Majesty the Emperor was expected
hourly, relays of horses being already prepared at
all the stations for his journey. Of the cops of
General Sabaniefi; only one division and the Comes
remain in Bessarebia , the other divisions of that
liorps are to go to the great camp abovementioned.
A considerable fleet is fitting out at Niceiajew. A
courier passed the frontiers yesterday, with the news
that a Congress is to be held at Warsaw."

FROM TYE DANUBE, APRIL 3 —Letters from
Ruseia say that the first army assembled on the
Pruth, and ready to take the rind, consists of two
hundred and eighty thousand men, of which a large
proportion is cavalry, and of dragoons alone 26,000.
It is sa.d to have been shown by experience, tha
this description of troops has always been eminently
serviceable in the wars with the Turks. The salve
letters state the pad: of artillery to consist of 5,10
pieces of cannon. At Kalugh, the great depot of
arms for South Russia, immense quantities of mili-
tary stores of all kinds are collected.
Moscow, MARCH 24.—According to a letter
from Jassy, many more Greeks, ‘Valachians,
davians, and other fugitives from Turkey, to the.
number of seven thousand, who had hitherto re-
mained quietly at Bessarabia, had received orders to
quit that country, and to repair farther into the in-
terior of Russia.
From liestcnoff we learn, that great magazines
are forming in Bossarabia.. The hopes of the eva-
cuation of the principalities by the Turkish tukys
have wholly vanished. The heavy artillery has
been brought back by the Janissaries, mid the mm.
ber of troops, which was greatly diminished a few
weeks ago, daily inercus,:s. Credible travellers re-
present those provinces, which only a year ago were
so flourishing, us a frightful desert, and the cruelties
exercised by the Turks on the unfortunate inhabi-
tants, us alkive all description.
Fresh divisions of our troops, in the finest condi.
tion, conth.na to. assemble on the Pruth.
