PARIS, APPIL 2.—An express was despatched
this morning from the hotel of the Russian Embassy
tor St. Petersburgh.
On the 27th, u demiliciary visit was made in the
apartment of M. Bodin, at Rennes. He was for-
merly a Captain of the Staff, and was absent. Two
letters from Gen. Berthon were found amonr, his
papers. According to the Eck) of the West, from
which we take these details, one dated 1818, was
written by the General to M. Bodin, who had for-
merly been his aide-dc-camp. The other, of 1821,
relates to an account for a pamphlet, some copies of
which tile latter had been commissioned to dispose of
We just learned, adds the Echo, that by an order
of the Minister of the Interior, sent by telegraph,
Bodin has just been arrested in the family of his
mother, at Pont L' Abbe, and conveyed to the prison
at Quimper.
It is said that just as M. Bodin was arrested he
was preparing for a journey.
VIENNA, MARCH 23.—A courier, who arrived
unexpectedly from Constantinople the day before
yesterday, has brought news from that capital of the
6th of March. The Divan has decidedly rejected
Ike Russian ultimatum, and the Reis Effendi has no-
tified his rejection in a note to the Minister of the
mediating courts, conceived in no very temperate
terms. The note which our internuncio, Count
Lutrow, despatched immediately after to our court,
Was instantly communicated to the Russian Minis-
ters Golukin and Tatischeff, who immediately trans-
mitted it the Court of St. Petersburgh. We are im-
patient t 3 know it' M. de Tatischeff will prolong his

COMMUniCaliOn• )-Tartars despatched from C in-
stantinople, on the 10th of March, have brought
important news to the Pasha of Belgrade, and to the
Servian Prince Miksch. What I had foreseen and
said in my preceding letters has been fully confirmed.
—The death of Ali Paella has not only inflamed the
heads of the Turkish populace, but the Divan itself
p makes the general intoxication. On tile 28th of
February last, the Grand Council of the Sublime
Porte assembled; all the Chiefs of the Orlas, of the
Janissaries, and several Ulemas had been summoned
to the sitting of the Divan ; it is never done except
when a declaration of war is in agitation. The as-
sembly unanimously decided to reject the proposals
of Russia, the acceptance of which had been so
warmly urged by the ministers of Austria and Great
Britain.

The Reis Effendi immediately announced to the
European Ministers, by a note conceived in terms
the most insulting to Russia, that oil its demands
were rejected ; and it said that Russia had violated
the treaty of Bucharest, by refusing to deliver up
the traitor and rebel Suzan; and that, far from de-
Jiveeng liitu up to the just vengeance of the Porte,
it had received hint in the most friendly manner,
and had supplied him with money for his Rtipport—
that another enemy of the Porte, Alex. Ypsilanti,
bad appeared in the Russian uniform, and was in
fact but an agent of that Court: that the Greek
churches may be one day rebuilt, but never till the
rebellion of the Greeks was entirely stilled—that
the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia could
out be evacuated till the same epoch; and that fbr
the nomination of liospodars to govern those pro-
vinces, the Porte was resolved never more to intrust
such functions to Greeks, which is equivalent to the
total annihilation of the political existence of the
two proviatek.

In short (adds the writer of the letter), I could
not believe the testimony of my eyesight on read-
ing this authentic act, so contemptuous and insult-
ing is the style of it; and it is easy to foresee the
impression which such a note must make on the
Emperor Alexander, however r.:ild and pacific he
suity be, • and though the Greeks for some time past
have accused him of looking with indifference on
their MMe and their inisfortunes.'

After having pitied the Greeks, the author of
the letter deplores also the fate of the European
diplomatists at Constantinople, who, after tan
months' constant efforts q.o.d daily hilpurs, beheld
the arrogance and insolent mulacity of the batiia-
lima destroy the the whole pacific edifice which
they had ttiken such pains to rear.
A now Turkish army is assembling ia the mi.
