charest (as has been mentioned above) has no right to claim the
execution of that article. His Highness having besides, by this
Treaty, liberty to name as Hospodar the person who shall de-
serve that favour, has already decided, that in future no Greek
can be Hospodar either of Walachia or Moldavia ; for the
Greek Princes, elevated to that post for a century, instead of
*hewing themselves grateful and faithful, have accepted the pay
of Russia, and have formed conspiracies, without reckoning that
several of them, after having pillaged the people of Wallachia
and 11Iolti.avia, have fled into Christian countries with the un-
j';st treasures, the fruits of their rapacity and tyranny. His
Highness will name as Hospodar, either a Turk or a it ala-
ckion, as he has made known to the Boyars.
" Finally, it is not for the Porte to send Commissioners to
the Frontiers to negociate peace—she is not at war with Russia,
.nz.twithstanding all the provocation 3; and if the Muscovite
armies shall begin hostilities, she has taken measures to repel
ht,r)."

On the. same dayq Prince Metternich had a

long conference with Count Golowkin, Ruisian
,Ambassador to the Court of Vienna, and the
u Russia Senator, General Tatischeff. The latter,
hose extraordinary imission appears to be ter-
minated, is making preparations for his depar-
ture.

Private letters say, •`that such was the arro-
ance of the Divan in the negc,)ciations with the
Ministers of Austria and Englan?, that the latter,
who has exhausted every diplomatic means of
maintaining peace, felt himself offended.
MARCH 25.—A report has been spread this
...,—ntortring that our Cabinet had.receiyed fresh dis-
.yatches from Count Lutzow,..and that they were
• more satisfactory nature ; but this hope was
of a long duration. Doubtless 'hostilities
'''a 'have not yet commenced, whatever certain jour-
"-:ralrniay say, but we expect decisive intelligence
in a few 'days. It it certain that the defeat of Ali
.precipitated the Ottoman Cabinet in
a situation. which it was not possible for it to
• cormna.nd. What makes all hope of an accom-
./..Thlotlation vanish is, that the report of the deter-
-ruination of the Divan has been carried with the
.:..:,rapidity of lightning to all parts of the Turkish
dominions, and that it will have been in many
,•,.. places a signal for vengeance and disorder. We
, -have already learnt that, for these two months
post, the Porte has ordered the Bosniacks, the
,Yourocks of Macedonia, and the Albanians of
-the Pachalick of Scutari, to the, camp near
N_vssa. The army forming there was, in case
of war, to pass the Danube at Widdin, and
to- occupy Upper Wallachia, extending to the
Austrian territory. The army of the Grand
-Vizier advances in two columns, one by Sophia,
near Rudshuck, and the other by Scoumela on
Braila. Notwithstanding the intention manifested
by our Court to remain neuter, it is not believed
that it will be able to avoid taking an active part
in the approaching events. A report is already
,current, that regiments in Bohemia and Moravia
have received orders to march to reinforce the
Corps of Observation in the Bannat of Temeswar
and the Buckowina. Superior officers have been
Pent by the Aulic Council of War to Czernowitz,
with orders for the Generals who command there.
From St. Petersburgh we have only news
-which seems to make it believed that the Russian
-Cabinet still preserves some hope.; but mercan-
tile letters 'say-that gold has become excessively
-.rare in that capital. This circumstance, though
,apparently unimportant, gives great weight to the
speedy commencement of hostilities. It is well
known how scarce gold was at Paris on the ap-
proach of a campaign. At the beginning of the
war with Russia the French officers paid 20
:'-ants for 1,000 francs, and more, to procure it.
(Extract of a Private Letter.)—Our Court has
-.returned the warlike Note of the Reis-Effendi to
our Internuncio, the Count de Lutzow, and has
instructed him to declare to the Porte that the
Note in question cannot be received,because it is'
,ir.o direct contradiction to the previotts language
and assurances of the Reis-Effendi ; that our
,Court leaves henceforth the Divan to arrange
itself its differences with Russia, and that Aus-
.,tria has withdrawn her mediation. Such is at
least the report circulated on the Exchange by
those who speculate for a fall in the Government
"Securities. We do not perceive any movement
among our troops, nor any change in the senti-
4rents of our leading statesmen.
IN'IJREMBURG, MARCH 29.—Accounts from
Petersburgh, via Vienna, state that the same
tictivity now exists in. the War Department, as
liOs. been long exhibited in that of Foreign Af-
fairs. Couriers are daily dispatched to the Com-
manders-in-Chief .of the different Armies on the
frontiers of Turkey, and many Officers belong-
ing to the Staff of the several Armies; particu-
larly those who belong to the- Engineers, have
repaired to their stations. The report of the
ap-
lircaching visit of the Emperor Alexander to the
• southern provinces acquires additional strength.
A/X-LA-CHAPI;LLE, APRIL I.—( Extract from a private
comimunication.)—On the 2fith March there was at Berlin an
Extraordinary Council of lllinisters at Prince klardenberg's, in
consequence of important despatches brought by the Russian
Limitenant .111umenthal„. who came express.from Warsaw. The
Rame day a Cabinet Messenger was despatched to Vienna. The
. morning expresses. were sent off to the Generals who
command the troops in garrison in the fortresses in the Grand
Duchy of Posen and the March of Brandenburgh. These dis-
positions show that, in consequence of the high probability of
. war between Russia and Turkey, the Prussian Government is
, taking measures of precaution, either to maintain a system of
• neutrality, or to take a more or less active part in the events of
which the East of Europe is on the point of becoming the
thetcre.
Letters from Warsaw state, that news has been received in
that capital that the Ottoman army on the Pruth was effecting
movements, which made it presumed that it would very shortly
attack the .Russians. This army has a considerable train of
artillary, which -is partly served by Europeans of all nations,
among whom- are remarked French, German, and English.
The Russians, •on their side, are preparing to give the aggres-
sors a warm reception. Every thing gives reason to presage,
that the first check will be terrible. .
Our Correspondent on the banks of the Rhine tells us that
the Ministers of several southern German Sovereigns have
.again called on the Germanic .Diet to suppress the Central '
-Commission of Inquiry at Mayence. They also speak of an
important proposition made .to that assembly by the Minister
of Pfussia, but which is not assented to by the Minister of
...Austria, who is President.
TaiEsTE, MARCH 23.—According to letters
- from the lonian Islands, the fortresses of Le-
. panto and. Patras, which have for some time past
been closely blockaded, have just been supplied
' with provisions and munitions of war by the
. English.
.The English have also given sup-
, • plies to the Turkish garrisons in the- forts of
Epirus. In the lonian Islands, Epirus, Acar-
nania, and EtOlia, there is but one opinion
• respecting the partiality with-which they observe
:-their pretended neutrality.
.None of the corn-
,plaints made on -this subject have been attended
to ; and in the Islands a system of persecution
has been established not only against the Russian
,agents, but also against, those-who-declare more
.-:arless iu favour. of the Russians.
