A letter from Vienna of the 23d of December has
been received in l'aris, which states that an official
contradiction has been published by the Commanders
of the Austrian army on the frontiers, to the aceoust
of the assassination of the Grand Seignior at Con-
stantinople. Much anxiety was felt at Vienna res-
pecting the state of the neelbiatiow atCBdlßEßtrolle; •
and despatches were sent off to Count Lutzow, as
it was supposed, to urge hint to redouble his exer-
tions to procure the acquiescence of the Sultan in
the conditions proposed by Russia. " Whatever the
result," (says the letter), " it is quite decided that
Austria will remain neuter."
ODESSA, Dec. s.—We have received from a good
source the following intelligence respecting the
diplomatic negociationa which took place at Con-
stantinople during the entkof the last month, and
which were opened by Coiatt de Lutzow and Lord
Strangford:—
" On the 211 November, Count de Lutzow had
a conference with the new Beis Effendi, in the pre-
sence of the Minister of the Interior (Kiaja Bey), in
a _house situated between Pera and Galata. The
Austrian Internuncio strenuously supported the al-
limatunt of Russia, and endeavoured to induce the
Porte to come to pacific resolutions.• The Reis Ef-
fendi replied, that the Porte could only consent to
evacuate Moldavia and Walachia upon the following
conditions, viz.—That the Co(* of France, Eng-
, land, and Austria, would guarantee that these prin-
cipalities, once evacuated, should neither be occupied
by the Russians nor the Hectarists ; that the Greeks
who had taken refuge in Russia should be punished
in the presence of Turkish commissioners, unless
Russia should give them up; that the re-establish-
ment of the Christian chtirches could not take place
until after the restoratiun of order, and the general
and vdeliksarming of all the Greeks. Count
de latitzow g expressed his astonishment that
the Turkish Minister should thus have changed his
lunguage, the latter attributed it to the will of the
Sultan. Count de Lutsuw then asked whether the
Porte was desirous of peace or aver? The Reis
Eifendi declined replying, saying that his powers
were not extensive enough to allow him to cater
into an explanation on this point. Besides,' he
added, the Sultan will act according to his own
ill; and ninety millions of Mussulmen (perhaps he
spoke after the Turkish estitautiun, which includes
the Persians, and Morocco) with sword in one
hand, and the Koran in the other, will know bow to
defend their rights against Christianity.' The Kiaja
Bey, who was also present, used very violent lan-
gunge, and endeavoured to represent the Turkish
rower as very formidable. On the ;Ma November,
Lord Strangtimi had also a conference with the Reis
Etiilntli, but which was equally fruitless. The in-
sults which wore uttered to his Excellency, on his
return to his residence, are known. This Minister
made a new elf)rt: lie drew up a note, in which he
represented to the Sultan the dangers with which he
is menaced, but which, ou the 9.7 th of November,
had not been accepted by the Reis Effendi. Such
was the position of affairs at the departure of the
last courier. The falseness of the report that Lord
Strungford endeavoured to heighten the fanaticism
of the Turks is now manitint."
SEMLIN, DEC. 13.—News from Seres of the Pith
December, reaching Belgrade by an extraordinary
rbUIC,,, announces that the Turks were masters fur
some days of the exterior works of Cassandra, with-
out opposition on the part of the Greeks, who, it is
pretended, drew them into a snare, in which they
all perished.
In the Morea the affairs of the Greeks remain in
good condition. It is asserted that the fiunous
Chourachid Pacha, bet- ' The- rite,

the assurance that the greatest tranquillity reigns at
Cyprus. It adds, that the Turks are so few, that
on the slightest appearance of an Idriot corsair, they
fly to the mountains.
NUREMBURG, DEC. 23.—(Extract of a private
letter.)—We have it from a source to be relied on,
that the Austrian cabinet has now the certitude that
all hope of preserving peace between the Ottoman
Porte and Russia is at an end. In consequence of
this, at the departure of the last courier, Vienna
•
Bank Stock had fallen to 622
HERMANSTADT (TRANSYLVANIA), DEC. 12.--
According to letters from Czernowitz (Bukowina) of
the Bth instant, more Ottoman troop; had entered
Jassy. Intelligence from Bessarabia announces that
the heavy artillery of the Russian army had crossed
the Dniester, and was proceeding to the Pruth.
BAGDAD, SEPT. 28.—The Persians, after driving
the Turks from the province of Chusistan, have
taken the cities of Buganda, Kud, Samara, Lem-
brum, and Munielima Another army having been
recruited, pitched their tents at Hclla, on the site of •
the ruins of Babylon.
On receiving this news, the Vizier of Bagdad
marched against the Persians, at the head of inure
than 20,000 men, cavalry and infantry, with a park
of more than thirty pieces of cannon, to repel them ;
but he has returned with the feeble remuinilt r of
his soldiers, having lust his army, artillery, baggage,
and even his treasures. The confusion in this city
is dreadful, as we expect every moment to be sur-
rounded by the Persians.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 25.—(Extract from a
letter.)—We may judge of the progress of the
Greeks from the severe measures of the Divan and ,
the preparations for war. It is certain that Turkey
will have to defend herself against Russia, Persia,
and the Greeks, who have made- great progress, and
are very powerful both in number and discipline. It
is expected that with the aid of Russian auxiliaries
they will act on the offensive next spring. If we
may judge by reports, and by the &mans of the
Grand Seignor, the war will not be delayed until
spring: the Russians do not care for ice and winter.
The Grand Seignor has issued a second firmen,
calling upon all Mussulmen to take up arms in de-
fence of the religion of the Prophet. He complains
of the non-execution of his first order, or rather of
the tardiness of the Turks in ranging themselves
under his banner. He does not mention the Per-
sians, but speaks of the injuries of Russia, and parti-
cularly against the Greek nation, the spoliation of
which he promises the Janissaries. He thus con-
cludes—" Why do you delay marching against your
enemy? What fear prevents you? If, as I doubt
not, Alla will give you the victory, you will over-
dow with gold, riches, and women ; and you shall
erase from the earth that perfidious and impious na-
tion, the Greeks, who are an abomination to the
Prophet. It; on the contrary, you fall in the com-
bat, you know the reward that dahomet has reserved
for the defenders of the Aleuran, and this glorious
death shall efface all the crimes of your life."

_ .
In consequence of this firman, the Janissaries have
believed themselves authorized to commit with im- •
penny every species of excess of which the suburbs
of Constantinople have been the theatre. They have
pillaged, burnt, and massacred, and 'have seized on a
greet number of young females to be sold. It is
certain that, in this general disorder, several Turk-
ish families l:ave been ill-treated. The Aga of the
Janissaries, whom the Grand Seignor had rendered
responsible fir all these tumults, has been arrested,
but it appears that the fear of exciting a revolt
saves him from nunislonent.
