(From the Gazette de France, Wednesday, May 28.)
CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 30.—The moment is
come to see whether Turkish policy has not been
mistaken in its calculations. The great body of the
Mussulmen manifest no enthusiasm, and the arma-
ments are carried on with a degree of lukewarmness,
which leaves no doubt of the ill-will of the great 'men
of the empire. The desire of peace is general. Hus-
sein will not take the command of the troops at
Adrianople, except upon certain conditions ; and the
other Commanders refuse, like the Janissaries of old,
to leave the capital. It is affirmed thaethis circum-
stance begins to discourage the persons about the
Sultan. It is also said that the langiiage of the-Reis
Effendi within these few days is very different from
the haughty tone which he before assumed. He is
reported to have said to the. Dragoman of a Euro-
pean legation, ,► It seems that every thing has con-
spired aga►r,st the Porte, and that. the nearer the
danger approaches, the more those who call them•
selves its friends hang back," &c.
During the Bairam, the alarming reports of a con-'
spiracy against the Sultan were spread, but every
thing passed over very quietly.
The Commissioners sent to Greece to propose an
amnesty do not seem likely to effect any thing, for it
seems that Count Heyden has sent to Count Capo
d'lstria arms, ammunition, &c., and that the English
and French Admirals have promised to do the same.

VIENNA, MAY 18.—Our funds are rising since
the receipt of the friendly assurance of the Court of
St. Petersburgh. The declaration of war against
Turkey has no longer any bad effect in this capital on
the public mind, or on commercial transactions. We
are now convinced that whatever
.may be the issue of
the campaign, no dangers to Europe will result
from it.

According to mercantile letters from Wallachia, it
was reported there that the Russians had taken pos-
session of Bucharest on the 10th of May, without
any opposition. Prince Ghika, the HospodAr, im-
mediately resigned his authority, and
.is said to have
been sent prisoner to the rear of the army, us is re-
ported to have been done with Prince Stourdza, the
Hospodar of Moldavia. But.no official account has
been received, and this news requires confirmation.
As fur the taking of Gallatz 'by the Russian troops,
and the details respecting it which have been pub-
lished, the account was tranAnitted to Vienna by the
General-in-Chief in Transylvania.
This letter from Vienna being of Sunday the 18th,
there was no business on 'Change. On the 17th
the Funds were as follows :—Metalliques, 902- ;
Bank Shares, 1,021.7-10.
PARIS, MAY 20.—Letters from Florence say, that
M. de Ribeaupierre was on the 14th of May at a
splendid entertainment given in honour of him by
Prince Camille Borghese. llis Excellency has just
hired the villa Montecatini, near Lucca, where he
was to pass the summer with his wife and family.
It should seem from this that his Excellency's visit
;o Corfu is indefinitely deferred.
