The following is an Extract of a Letter from
a Greek merchant, residing in the suburbs of
Pera, dated Constantinople, August 17 :
" As long as the Russian Ambassador continued in his Pa.
lace at Bujukdere. we were impressed with the fear that Russia
would remain neuter in the quarrel, in which the Musselmen
treat us with somuch cruelty. Now, hope is restored to us ; but
we dare net manifest our joy, so much have the appalling exc.-
• cations of our brethren, which we witnessed, inspired us ,with
terror. • A courier • arrived yesterday, and, in spite of the se-
cresy with which all intelligence which reaches the Divan is
veiled, we know ihat he brought the news of the arrival of M.
DE ST norioNorr, at Odessa, at which port he landed on the 14th
instant. My commercial affairs had brought me into an inter.
Bourse with several persons attached to the European Embas-
sies. One of theM, who prays for us and our cause, which is
that of Religion against Inhdels—of humanity against barbarity,
made me shudder every time he spoke to int of the interposition
of the Powers who think to stay the fury of the Turks otherwise
*iari.bfLforcacOarnis. It was from this Orson I learned that
several members of the Diplomatic Corps had blamed M. de
STROGoNorr for not havinglvaited longer for the categorical
answer of the Divan to the Ultimatum of the Emperor ALEX-
ANDER.. Now, that the tenor and tone of this reply are partly
kroivn, the precipitation of M. de SrnooONOFF is so much the
better justihed, is it is known that he was aware of the charac-

ter of the note of the Divan. It is affirmed that it was only a
tissue of impertinent nonsense, comparable only to the ostenta-
tic US bOastiugs of NAPOLEON, when he dictated his arbitrary
will at. the gates of Vienna: Heaven grant that the Russian
Cabinet mad• feel its dignity, and that ail the Sovereigns may
have a just idea of the horror of our position ! If it be too late
for us to entertain the hope of harpiness and tranquillity for
ourselves, we shall have, at lest, in dying, the consolation of
thinking that our children will one day enjoy both !—Trade is
in a state of. the Most complete stagnation:"
