The following is an extract of a private letter
from► Peru, of the 6th March. It gives a detailed
accotn►t of the progress of the negotiations between
the 1 ,ivan end the Ambassadors of England and
Austria, up to the period when the peremptory re-
ixtin of the Russian I:Ain:alum was communicated
to the latter:—

" As affairs at Constantinople have taken a de-
eissive turn, it may be interesting to make known
the Course of the negotiations, from the first decla-
ration of the Reis Effendi in answer to the Russian
ultatitilin, to its final rejection.

MONDAY. APRIL 15, 1822.

and aft net ociation was interrupted until towards
the eud of January.
". JAN. 24.—The two ministers addressed to the
Reis Effendi two notes, nearly similar in tenor. It
was stated in them, that for theemaintenance of
peace it was of the utmost importance that the
Porte should accept, at least, all the propositions
founded upon ancient treaties with Russia, and de-
! finitively ratified by the latter ; that in the actual
' state of things, it was easy to thresee that the cabinet
of St. Petersburgh would on its side reject the mo-
difications proposed by the Divan. These two notes
remained without reply. Tim Dragomans vainly
repaired almost every day to the Turkish Chancel-
lerie ; they were constantly put off with some eva-
sive expedients.
" F [WARY 10.••••1110 two ministers solicited
an immediate interview with the Reis Effendi, who
informed them, through the medium of his Drago-
man, that he had already had the intention of shortly
inviting, and each separately, to the desired confer-
ence. Advices were at this time expected in Con-
stantinople, relatively to the fate of Ali Pacha of
Janina, and the Grand Vizier had given orders to
the Reis Effendi to elude all the demands of the
foreign ministers, until looked fur intelligence should
have arrived.
" Fun. 14.—An Agasi, accompanied by several
Tartars, brought an official dispatch from Chours-
chid Pacha, announcing the death of Ali niche.—
The Dragomans were witnesses of the excessive joy
that this intelligence excited in the Turkish Chan-
cellerie, and amongst the dignitaries of the empire.
On the same day the Austrian Interauncio obtained
the solicited audience with the Reis Effendi; but
the interview was short, and without result—the
Turkish minister excused himself on the ground of
not having the necesrery instructions to give a defi-
nitive answer, anti repeated the vague assurances
already so ofters.given, us to the desire of the Porte,
to live in peace with all the ohristian powers.
" Fes I 5.—A n extraordinary courier from Vienna
arrived at Pera, bringing also dispatches from the
London Cabinet to Lord Strangford. The two mi-
nisters instantly solicited another conference with
the Reis Effendi, and Lord Stranethrd addressed to
the Chancollerie of the Grand Vizier a note, in
which he flireibly complained of the delays that his
demands had experienced ; adding, that motives of
the highest importance at this moment, rendered
another conference indispensable. On the same
evening a Dragoman of the Porte came to antemince
to his lordship that the etaii.t.Tence was fiand for the,
next day.
" Stn. 16,---Lora St rungford went in grand state
with M. Chapper, his principal Dragoman, to the
residence of the Reis Effendi. The interview was
most amicable, and the protestation of the Turkish
minister were about the same us those which had
previously been made to the Count de. Luzuw. The
rumour was general throughout Pere that the dis-
cussion would terminate flivourably.
Fits. I 7. —A not Ler courier frentVienna brought
the declaration of the cabinet of St Pteersburgh,
in answer to the note of the Reis Effendi of the 2d
of December, nn' orders to the ministers to act in
conformity with this declaration. Russia persiced
in demanding the pure and simple acceetation of her
ultimatum, and that this acceptation should precede
any further discussion; a term was however granted
to the Porte thr its determination; but a prom
and categorical reply was requimd. 'The two mi-
nisters earnestly, supported these demands, agreeablyto their instructions, by repeated notes, expetiating
on the personal dispositions of the Emperor Alex-
ander, and dwelliag upon his concession in removing
Prince M. Sums from the frontiers ot the Ottainan
empire, and expelling the lietarists front Dessau:
