[From the Conttitutionneg

PARIS, JUNE I.—Yesterday, between eleven
and twelve at noon, a packet was deposited in
the letter box of the Constitutionnet, containing
the following paper, written in French ; it is not
in the hand-writing of our ordinary-correspondent
at Frankfort ; it bears no signature, no evident
sign of authenticity ; we give it verbatim as it
has come to us, merely observing, that we have
no more reason to believe the document to be
authentic, than to suppose it to be apocryphal.
The following is identically what we have re.
ceived

" FRANKFORT ON TILE MAINE, MAY 28.
"St. Petersburgh, 2 (14) May, 1822:
"ALEXANDER 1., by the Grace of Gov, Emperor- and
Autocrat of All the.Russias, &c. &c. -

" The EMperor owes it to his High Allies, to Europe, to his
people, to himself, to make known the principles which have
actuated him, the proceedings which have taken
.plice in.the
different relations of his Cabinet with the Ottoman. Porte,
since the epoch when several Greek provinces declared them-.
selies.independent of the. Government of Constantinople.

" His Majesty, since he has been placed on the Throrte by
:Divine Providence, has not, either in the wars in which he has
been painfully compelled to engage, or in his alliances,or in his
conduct during peace, manifested any other than a constant and
uniform wish for the welfare of his subjects, and the-establish-
ment of order in Europe. When the ambition of a soldier, ele-
vated by violence to the rank of Sovereign, had compromised
the greatest and most sacred rights, the most noble and most
conservative doctrines, and with them the true interests of
the people oppressed by his yoke, his Majesty, united in heart.
aiad efforts to his High Allies, had the haPpiness of aiding, by
a rapid and energetic development of his forces, in that general'
pacification which, only disturbed since momentarily by acci--
dents, of no real imprtance, and without any result, 'has
become the basis of the future destinies of Europe. When at
a later period, and recently, pernicious ideas, adopted by a
small number of corrupted or credulous beings, caused an in-
surrection in a part of the Italian Peninsula, the Emperor,
faithful to his principle; concerted with his illustrious Ally,
the Emperor of Austria, the most proper measures to re=establish
good order, and to rewire to the Sovereign of
_the Two Sicilies
the full enjoyment of -his hereditary rights, as he possessed
already the hive and respect of his people. .

" It is with the same views that the complaints of the Chris-
tian subjects of the Ottoman Court have: been listened to, and
that the negotiations have followed which had for their object.
to ameliorate their lot, and to restore concord and tranquillity
in those countries. His Majesty has not been less affected by-
the sufferings of the Greeks than he was by the sufferings of the.
Western nations. .

•G The Legation of his Majesty at Constantinople agreed, in
all its proceedings, with the Legations of other Cabinets, and.
gave at first to the Porte all the explanations which could serve-
to prove that the Court of Russia took no part, either directly'
or indirectly, in the first disturbances that arose in Greece.—.
The personal character of his. Majesty, however, rendered these:
explanations quite superfluous, which, besides, were carried to
the. most complete demonstration. The demands which his.
Majesty then advanced were strictly conformable to what was
required for the execution of treaties, by religion, humanity,-
and reason.

His Majesty's Ambassador demanded of the Porte, in his
name, Ist, that the Churches which had been demolished should
be repaired, that the Christian. Religion should be freely exer-
cised, and that none of the Christian subjects of the Ottoman
Porte should be henceforth disturbed in their worship; 2d, the
evacuation by the Turkish armies of Moldavia and Wallachia.'
" The constant system of the Porte was to lengthen the ne--
gociations, and to gain time, either to wear out the persever
ance of the European Courts, or to prepare more surely for
hostilities.

" The delays were such, that this consideration, joined to
that of difTerent circumstances, which it was impossible for the
Court of Russia to neglect, determined his Majesty's Ambas-
sador to quit Constantinople, when it appeared to be no longer
wished •to listen to the language of moderation, of justice, and
treaties.

" The Emperor owes it to the good offices of his High Allies,
whose Legations continued their efforts for the maintenance of
peace, the communication of the answers of the Ottoman Court
to the definitive notes transmitted by the Baron Strogonoff.
These answers, communicated at six weeks' distance from each
other, bore, in different terms, the same character of obstinacy,
and the rejection of the just claims of the Emperor and his
Allies. °The Ottoman Court would give no positive guarantee
as to the re-establishment of Churches, the principal object of
the demands addressed to it, and the refusal of which, tlibugh
the other points should be conceded, would be sufficient to
render every arrangement impossible. The evacuation of the
principalities, a 'secondary object in the views of the Emperor,
but a legitimate and necessary consequence of the intention to
execute treaties, has hem either refused, consented to with
modifications which render it illusory, or referred to a future
period, subject to chances which might indefinitely postpone it.
On the other side, the Porte, declining or eluding the just de-
n:lands of the Emperor and his Allies, raised a pretension
which the Law of Nations and the heart of his Majesty equally
repelled. The delivering up of refugees, contrary to all the
sentiments Of humanity and honour, useless to the interests of
the Porte, and indifferent to the interests of Greece, was stern-
ly and formally refused as it ought to be.
" Such are the essential points of the negociations between
the Court of Russia and the Ottoman Porte. Europe will
judge on which side has been just right, moderation, and pa-
tience ; it will compare the strict neutrality of the European
Courts during the course of these negociations ; with the num-
berless violences committed in the same interval of time on the
Greek subjects of Turkey; it will appreciate the sincerity of
the pacific declarations of a power, whose acts against the un-
fortunate Christians of Greece have appeared to acquire a new
degree of cruelty, at the moment even when the highest me-
diations were interposing between the victims and the op-
pressors.

" The Emperor will not give up his obiect—the execution
of treaties ; that execution, refused to the voice of concilia-
tion, he will obtain with the aid of Divine Providence, by
means which are suitable to the dignity of his crown, to the
magnanimity of his allies, to the courage and the ardour of
his people."

The most contradictory reports circulated yes-
terday both on the Exchange and in the Saloons
of Paris. According to some,- the English Am-
