oppressors.

In our Paper of the sth instant, we discre-
dited the statement which had been so positively
put forth, of a new Russian Ambassador having
been appointed to Constantinople, in the room
of Baron STROOONOFF. Though the intelligence
of this pacific movement on the part of Russia
was so firmly believed in this country, that the
funds rose in consequence of it one half, yet a
whole week has elapsed without any confirma-
tion of the alleged fact, and without even the
name of the supposed new Ambassador having
found its way to the Public. There can be little
doubt now, therefore, on the mind of any person,
as to the entire falsehood of this assertion, not-
withstanding the confidence with which it was ad-
vane' d. It appears to have been a mere stock-job-
bing manoeuvre, and having answered the purpose
for which it was invented, is abandoned without
scruple by its authors. The British Monitor,
the Editor of which possesses an extensive ac-
quaintance with foreign affairs, and the real
views of most of the Continental Courts, treats
the appointment of the new Ambassador as a
downright fabrication, and ridicules with great
effect the prevalent notion that the Allies of
Russia will be able to prevent her from attacking
Turkey. " Every man conversant in modern po-
litics must know, that Persia would not have
dared to send a man against Turkey, unless she
had previously obtained the permission of Russia.
But strange to say, that the Cabinets of Austria,
England, and France, persist in saying that Rus-
sia will not act hostilely towards Turkey ! She
may not do so for the present, because the
Greeks are at this moment paving the way for
her ; and if the report respecting Persia is cor-
rect, surely the Ottoman Empire will become an
easy conquest. Russia will perhaps suspend her
hostilities till spring." B. M.—The advocates for
peace now say, that " the nature of the guarantee
to be given by Turkey for the security of the
Greeks," is the chief difficulty in the way of a
final and lasting pacification. There is no doubt
of it. There never has been doubt, except, per-
haps, as to the determination of Russia to have
a war at all events, that the nature and extent of
the guarantee to be given by Turkey, is the chief
difficulty. But, for months past, those who now
admit the continued existence of this difficulty,
have daily contended that the difficulty was
overcome,—that the Porte had acceded to the
demands of Russia, and that Russia, notwith-
standing the departure of her Ambassador from
Constantinople, was satisfied with the conces-
sions she had obtained. The flimsy veil, which
concealed all this confident assertion, how-
ever, is now rent. Matters stand confess-
edly in the situation in which they stood
previous to the departure of Baron STROGO•
NOFF. The truth is, Turkey cannot give a suffi-
cient guarantee for the security of the Greeks,
but by the absolute surrender of her own
power as an independent State ; and, as we have
stated all along, even if the GRAND SloNon and
the Divan could he brought by foreign influence,
and the dread of a Russian invasion, to consent
to this self-abasement of the Ottoman power
and name, the Turkish populace and sol-
diery would furiously resist and frustrate the
execution of their intentions.—Fortunately, the
power of the Greeks to resist their oppressors,
notwithstanding the apathy with which the
Christian Governments have looked on their
heroic efforts, daily becomes more apparent and
effective. Their forces are acquiring discipline,
and the moral strength which arises from the
consciousness of having already made a long and
successful stand against their barbarian enemies ;

while at the same time they are taking measures
for consolidating their power and resources. In
the Pelopounesus, their political and military or-
ganization has been greatly improved since the
end of August. A general assembly or all the
Notables has been ordered at Calamata ; and
the Deputies from hydra and Spezzia have
already arrived. From this assembly is to pro-
ceed the Constitution of a Central Government
for Greece and the whole of the Islands. In
every town a great number of Greeks are daily
instructed in European tactics. At Demizana
several powder mills have been erected. In
Epirus the Greeks begin again to have the upper
hand ; and there is the utmost harmony between
the Greeks and Albanese of both religions. On
the whole, we see little to fear in the position
and resolution of this heroic people, and nothing
to regret, except that an unfavourable feeling is
said to be making progress amongst them with
respect to the conduct of this country ; a feeling
which the recent occurrence, at Zaute is not cal-
culated to remove.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM WASIIINGTON,OCT. 8.

The great scarcity of money experienced here,
as well as every where else, since the restoration
of a sound currency, and the increased difficult),
of obtaining it, made it probable that a corre-
sponding increase of suits would be instituted
this term ; but we are happy to find, that so far
from this being the case, the number of actions
for debt is not half so great as has been known at
some former terms ; the number instituted by the
Bank especially is greatly reduced. The Branch
Bank of the United States, for example, has not
found it necessary to sue on more than a dozen
notes. This augurs well for the return of better
times.

A letter from Vera Cruz, via liavannah, of the
18th August, states, that in consequence of an
agreement between Colonel SANTANA and the
Viceroy General O'Domos v., the gates of Vera
Cruz are thrown open. A free communication
was permitted between the inhabitants and those
of the country ; at the same time the prisoners on
both sides were liberated.
