GERMAN PAPERS.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 16.—The arrival of the Persian
Ambassador in this capital has excited great attention, and the
more so as it was immediately reported that the object of his
mission was to offer succour to the Porte. It has been since
discovered that the obliging offers of the Persian Court are
founded on self-interest, the State requiring from the Sultan, as
the condition of his assistance, the cession of the Pachalic of
Bagdad, which has been so long the subject of contention be-
tween the two empires. Should the Sultan not be in need of
military aid, the Ambassador is said to be authorized to pro-
pose to the Porte a pecuniary indemnity for the cession of that
province, which, on account of the continual disturbances, is a
constant source of expense. Some persons conjecture that
Russia favours the last proposal, because it would relieve the
finances of the Porte, and enable it to pay the arrears of
the contribution due to Russia. However improbable it
is that the Sultan will agree to such a proposal, it is,
however, affirmed, on respectable authority, that the offers
of Persia are so extremely advantageous, that it is pro-
bible the Porte will not directly refuse them. The accounts
from the Egyptian head-quarters are favourable: the language
of the persons immediately about Ibrahim gives room to hope
that Mehemet Ali will consent to a final arrangement on the
same basis as the armistice. Ibrahim, therefore, waits for orders
to retreat within the Syrian frontiers. A small part of the re-
mains of the Turkish army has rallied, but a greater portion
infests those parts of Asia Minor which are still free from the
enemy, and commits all kinds of excesses. The intelligence
received a few days ago, that a messenger, who was bringing to
the Imperial Mint the value of 800,000 piastres in silver, had
been attacked and plundered by one of these bands, seems to
have at length induced the Porte to adopt effectual measures.
We learn that the new principality of Samos, of which
Stephen Wogorides is appointed Governor, includes the islands
of Nicaria, Palmos, Lero, Phurna, and some smaller islands.
VIENNA, FEB. 5.—A French Secretary of Legation has
arrived from Paris, by whom we learn that Count St. Aulaire has
accepted the post of Ambassador to our Court, and Marshal
Maison only waits for his arrival to go to St. Petersburgh. We
have no news from Constantinople later than the 16th. The
proposals for peace discussed between Ibrahim and the French
Charge d'Affaires have probably led to the cessation of hostili-
ties.; and the frequent exchange of couriers to and from Paris
undoubtedly relates to this affair. Great agitation prevails in
Servia, but Prince Milosch exerts himself to the utmost to main-
tain tranquillity and suppress the tendency to insurrection
which manifests itself in many places. He acts entirely in
the interest of the Porte, having regard to its friendly relations
with Russia.

We learn from Greece that the certainty of the speedy ar
rival of the King and the Regency has already made a very
good impression, and that the several parties begin to ap-
proximate. Difficult as the task of restoring order may
be, it is hoped the majority of the ,Greeks, feeling the
necessity of peace and union, will sincerely attach
themselves to the new Government. Allgemeine Zeitung,

FRANKFORT, FEB. 11.—The journal of Odessa, of 18th
January, contains the following intelligence from Constanti-
nople, respecting the operations of the Egyptian army :—The
Sultan's army has experienced a new defeat. After Ibrahim
Pacha had made himself master of Koniah, and of all the
Turkish magazines of ammunition and provisions, he gained
another victory at Akshir. The bad weather, however, did
not allow time to prosecute his advantages. The panic terror
that has seized the Turks, renders them unable to make any
resistance. Diplomacy will now step in.—Frankfort Papers,
