Pnttts, FEB. 19.—Letters from Constantinople of the
9th and 11 th January, confirm the accounts which the
Gazette of Augsburgh had published. The Porte has sud-
denly changed 'its language and attitude.
On the sth of. Januarythree lists -of proscriptions ap-
peared ; the first containing the names of 102 Frenchmen,
the second those of 120 English, and-the third of 85 Rus-
sians. All the temobstrances addressed to the Porte were
uselesa. The measure is executed with riionr. • The in-
dividuals on these lists must quit the dominions of the
Sultan in three days. The kind.of•-manifesto which the
Porte. has published at the same time against the infidels,
and particularly against thee Russians; is an appeal to reli-
gious fanaticism ;; and thisaircumitance -Must have made
the Ministers of the Powert'who interfered in favour of
the exiles think since, that perhaps there would be: no
occasion to regret, in the sequel, that permission to remain
longer, which was asked for several of them, was not ob-
tained.

Persecutions have also taken place against the Armenian
Catholics. Most of the bankers have been abruptly sent
to Angora with their families.

The Minister of Prussia has received instructions from
his Court directing him to act perfectly in concert with
the Minister of Austria, in the very natural supposition
that the negotiations continued to' effect the pacification
of Greece by means of the intervention.

In fact, it is dificult to explain how the Porte, Without
any. provocation from. the Allies, has suddenly forgotten its
engagements, and the • promises whit:ll'W had made spon-
taneously and voluntary to protect the subjects of the three
Powers. • However, no sensible man doubts at Constanti-
nople, and no body in Europe can doubt, that these cir-
cumstances will contribute to draw the alliance still
closer together.

The imprudence of the Ports is the effect of the ancient
error of its diplomacy, which always speculates on the dif-
ferences of the Powers with each other. The resources of
this illusion will not last long, and when it is obliged to
give it up it will undoubtedly yield.
" The treaty of the 6th .of July has provided all the
means of coercion as well as the means of arrangement.
The same agreement between the Powers which manifest-
ed itself during the negotiations will exist in the measures
which the course of events may render necessary to attain
the object of the treaty, which rtever was and never will be
any other than to pacify Greece, to extinguish piracy in
the Archipelago, and to maintain the balance of Europe.
And whatever may happen, said the Minister who is the
depository of our interests abroad, a few days ago, Francs
will take and preserve the rankwhich becomes its honour,
its power, and its dignity.

pams, FEB. 20.—We receive the following aucounts
from Constantinople, dated Jan. 11.
" All that has passed for this last fortnight proves that
the departure of the Ambassadors has made the Divan re-
turn to the measures resolved upon in the grand meeting
of the 7th of December, after the news of the battle of Na-
yarin, which resolutions have only been suspended since
that time. Each new measure adopted by the Govern-
ment is more rigorous than the preceding.
" On the 3d, the Patriarch of the Armenian Catholics
being summoned to the Porte, he was asked if he could
answer for the maintenance of tranquillity among the in-
dividuals of his communion. As he could only do so to
a certain point, orders were given to send all the Arme-
nian Catholics to Asia, which was dune immediately.
" A still more rigorous measure has been executed
against the French, English, and Russian subjects who
could not account for their means of subsistence, and who,
to the number of 800 or 1,000, have been obliged to quit
the. capital. The remonstrances of the Envoy of the Ne-
therlands on the subject were useless ; the , Reis Effendi
sent his dragomans to the Director of the Custom's, who
