GERMAN PAPERS.

FROM THE FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, Dec. 25.
On the 29d Dec. a Tartar brought to Jassy, front
Con.tantinople, a Firman, which was published on
the 24th. It ordered that all the artillery, except
two cannon, should be sent back to Bralia. • At the
same time the Janissaries were commanded to remain
in Moldavia alone, and not to desert, otherwise they
would be punished as runaways, and above all, they
should refrain front committing any excesses. This
order excited great dissatisfaction among the Janis-
saries: they openly declared that they would not let
the artillery go away, and the greatest fears were
entertained respecting the issue of this Alain
The Boyars, who have emigrated wait with im-
patience tOr news fromJassy of the'27th Dec. which
day was fixed for the departure of the artillery.
(This sews has this moment arrived; the cannon,
fihtenln ntimber, has been sent away, and nothing
particular had wurred.) The excesses and extor-
tions of the Turks arc beyond description if com-
plaints are brought to the Commander at Jassy,
Salish Pacha, he weeps, summonses the guilty, takes
from them the fruits of their plunder, and keeps it
for himself.
In Moldavia there are not above 10,000 or 12,000
men, and these are in and about Jassy. The rest
of the Ottoman force is behind the Danube, she tiir-
tresses upon which, Braila, Siliatriu, Ruschtschuck,
&c are placed in a state of defence.
a- The head-quarter. of the Serualier Czapan Oglou,
are at Silistria. It seems. therefore, the Turks do
not intend seriously to defend Moldavia snd Walla-
chia which wanhleast them very dear, if there
should he any war, us the Russians have assembled
their main force near Teanaroe, at the mouth of the
Pruth. Turkish troops in Moldavia are ouly
an advanced corps, which will leave the country as
'bon us the first gun is fired, but will by that time
completely cabana. and at last lay it waste. It is
even believed that the Turks, if they should retreat,
will set tire to Jassy, the houses of which are chiefly
of wood. The Russian troops between the Pruth
and the Daniester were obliged, some days ago, to
scud all the wives of the officers and soldiers hack
over the Daniester On the other hand, troops tient
the interior ul Russia daily arrive in Bessenavia.—
A s they cannot all pass through Chotym, two bridges
of pontoons were laid down near Mogilcw, but the
ice carried them away ; but, as the weather is still
very mild, and the drift ico nas disappeared, the two
bridges have been restored. The Pruth itle.f i,
strongly oe,upied by infantry. The day before yes-
terday another detachment of 2,000 powder waggons
passed threugh Citotym, basides a large supply of
t.ongreve rockets. The Russian General-in-chief,
Gaunt Wittgenstein, bad his head-quarters at Tule-
rei, on the hat bank of the Daniester, but it is pu-
mutely stated that they will be transferred in a I.:iv
days to Kischenow. In general every thing seems
to indicate that the commencement of hostilities is
tut tar 11:stant.

trout, Anagosti, Giatraeo, snd Nikita. The Turks
so fully depended on it, that, in the space of two
eays, several thousands of them left the place tin-

inoestLtl, and posted themselves near the Greek
camp. On a sudden. however, it was known that
Detr.etritis Ypsilanti and Gen. Gordon had secretly

the capitulation, and tall kinds of horrors were fore-
seen. _ _ _

" On the following day, that part of the Greeks
that blockaded the city on the road to Argos, with-
out acquainting their comrades, undertook an as-
sault, made themselves masters of a gate and tower,
and placed their colours on it. The rest of the
besieging troops, in:•pire:l only by the apprehension
of losing their 'hereof the plunder, now penetrated
into the city on all sides, and without opposition.
mid there soon commenced, within and without the
walls, a series of scenes, unparalleled, perhaps in
ti,e annals of human wickedness and cruelty.
Mr. Gordon Lad arrived in the Mores with a
large sum of moat y. He soon perceived what he
had to expect from his new allies, but he is not the
