TURKEY.
According to the accounts from Constantinople, the result
of the conference between the Rnssi,an Minister, the Baron
rte Strogonoll. and the Reis Effendi, was, that the left arm of
the Danube is no longer to form the froutier between Turkey
and Russia, which is henceforth to be indicated by the second
arm of the river, called Salina, to its junction with the Kilia,
below the river Ismael. The intermediate land almost con-
tinually devastated brimindations, will remain desert for the
breadth of from one to five German leagues. The hatsita.
'lens of the small town of Kiliastara are to be rebuilt on the
right bank of the Danube in two years, and the frontlet line

navigation, there is nothing determined upon. The woven.
lion is considered a good initiative for the demurs:alias
of frontiers and it affords reason to hope that the other two-
ciations will be happily terminated. It is untrue that the
building of the new hotel for the Russian Embassy at Con-
stantinople has been countermanded. The death of Cattail
George will cause no misunderstanding.

HAGUE, OCT. 20.—Tu-day the ordinary annual session of
the States-General was opened with the usual solemnities.
The King delivered from the throne a speech, of which the

His Majesty began by noticing the happy event of the birth
of a sun to the Prince of Orange, and added, that 441.- rams-
tion should be so directed as to inspire him from kis earliest
childhood with a sense of his duties, and with the most &Oat

general peace, said Ms Majesey, has been undisturbed, and
every day proves that the governments, as well as the people
are unanimous in the desire of maintaining it. Ott my side I

His Majesty noticed at length difficulties caused by the
unfavourable season, but which the rich harvest of this Near
will put an end to. The distresses' have been relieved 'Airily
by finding them work, partly by giving them assistance; the
local authorities have done their utmost, and private cha-
rity, the fairest trait in the national character, has kept pace
with the increasing distress. His Majesty observes, that
some effectual regulations relative to the poor are necessary,

more injurions to this than the dearness of provisions, which
has checked the consumption of manulactured goods among
the most numerous classes of people. His Majesty states,
that the government itself has felt the influence of this state of
things, by the great increase of its expenses, and the dimi-
notion edits receipts. Besides this, a great deficit hes been
caused by the nut levying of a tax upon inherited property,
or a legacy tax.
The law respecting the militia has been pat in execution for
the first time, and hits answered every expectation. Agri-
culture is Nourishing. The fisheries, the colonial trade, and
all branches connected with them, have improved ; and the
freedom of the corn trade by sea, while it secured the king.

His Majesty notices the great expense caused by the fortis

of harbours, a‘c. have been begun and continued, and even
completed ; and in some provinces treat roods ligve been
made, which the most enlightened inhabitants have fox years

His Majesty speaks with satisfaction of the great joy w bids

expects the happiest results for the whole kingdom.
His Majesty concludes as follows :
