invasion of the Turks that they have been unfortunate : they
were so in every respect, except as regarded their religion, under
their own emperors. The history of no other country presenti
such a list of cruel, i;ioictive, and rapaciouS or weak Princes.
It cannot be dissembled, sags the author of the Memoire, that
any other mode of assisting the Greeks Would be unfavourable
to the equilibrium of power in Europe. This would be the case,
even though Greece was declared independent ; for it is to be
observed, that the Greeks profess the same religion as the Rus-
sians, and that they are more attached to it than the lat-
ter. Their hatred and fanaticism against nations which profess
another religion are Well known. Russia would therefore exer-
cise over the Greeks the same influence as Napoleon exercised
over the Confeder;iion of the Rhine; and even a greater. The
latter was founded only on force, whereas the former would be
founded upon force and religions principles. The happiness of
Europe, therefore, requires...that the Ottoman Throne should be
preserved, for if this Throne were once destroyed, the colossal
power of Russia would bc-orne daily more formidable to Eu-
rope, if fortified by the immense. resources which it would find
in Greece.;.".
ORESSA, SEPT. 12.—The sorrof the Civil Go-
Gruguhoff, arrived here vesterday
express, and brought the order of the. Minister of
Finance, that the free port of, Odessa shall re-
main unchanged till further notice, and on the
same Tooting as hitherto, and that the merchants
may unload their goods as usual. Accounts from
Calamola, in the Morea, state that the Greeks
found 120 cannon, 10,000 muskets, a considera-
ble quantity of gunpowder, and military stores,
in the fortress of .Movarasia, which they took by
capitulation.
Onr.s:sA, SEPT. 22.—Ships recently arrived
from COnstantinople have .brought letters of the
14th and 16th. IVe w.f. still ignorant of the an-
swer of our Court to the Note of the Reis
Effendi, but we hope that peace will not be in-
terrupted. Instead of the hatti-scheriff of the
Sultan, as lately reported, only an order of the
Grand Vizier has appeared, relative to military
measures of defence.
Our situation becomes daily more •singular.
We look upon war as althost certain. We are
in fact in almost an. hostile position against the
Porte, since' all our direct commercial relations
.are interrupted. The Continuance of peace,
however, bkiccmes daily.rnore probable; the sea-
son for carrying on war is nearly over. 'We all
earnestly desire an end to. be put to this painful
state of uncertainty. .
Baron de Strogonow, on leaving this place,
took the route to Witepsk, to meet the Empe-
ror, in case he should have already quitted Pe-
tersburgh.
SEPT. 18.—We have received accounts from
Constantinople to .the 14th. Perfect tranquil-
lity prevailed ; the Turkish State continued to
buy up corn; about 200 ships had sailed from
the Mediterranean. We do not doubt here of
the continuance of peace.
RIGA, SEPT. 17.—1 t is now expected.that the
Guards have received orders to march towards
Moscow, which well deserves . credit ; and, in
fact, gives us reason to suppose that they-will be
ordered to proceed still further towards the
Turkish frontiers : hitherto, however, the con-
tinual marches and counter-rnarches of those
troops, as well as of the others cantoned in the
Governments of Minsk and Witepsk,have had no
immediate object but exercising themselves.—
Meantime the Emperor is expected at Witepsk,
and his bOrses have been there this fortnight.—.
Forty thousand poods of ammunition have....been
sent from the fortress of l3olroisk to the Ukraine,
whence it is supposed that the army on the Pruth
is to be considerably reinforced, and the com-
mencement of 'hostilities is looked to as probable.
ST. PETERSIIWIGII, SEPT. 26.---Ills Majesty the
Emperor set out yesterday from Zarokojeselo, for
Witepsk, to review the Regiments of Guards
stationed there. It is said that his Majesty will
be here again to-night. Their Imperial High-
nesses the Archdrike Nicholas and his Consort
arrived here on the 22d. The new Commercial
Port of Kunda, in Esthuna, opened on the 13th
instant.
ST. PETEII/11,1:011, SEPT. 29.—The importa-
tion of foreign merchandize and manufactures
continues without intermission; the demand is
inconsiderable, all the warehouses are full : it has
even been found necessary to fence in a large
open piece of ground near the Exchange, Where
the goods are placed, for want'of magazines to
receive them.

INAW, 0cT..3.—8y an ordinance of 31st

VIENNA, OCT. G.—The Austrian Observer of,

affairs of Greece, of which the follows-lag are
extracts :

attacks against the Greeks, in. which both parties
lost great-numbers, succeeded in fording- the lat-
ter to retire, and in establishing a communication
with the Turkish corps which blockades Ali
Pasha in the fortress of Janina.
"The Turkish troops have relieved Arta, after
a blockade of 4S days; A Greek corps march-
ing to the assistance of Ali Pacha, on hearing
the above intelligence, halted on the field and
took up a position about six leagues from Janina,

Letters from Salonica of the 29th say, that
more than 3000 Greeks groan in the prisons, and
expect to be put to death on the arrival of the
great functionary who is on his journey hither.
We learn from Jassy, under date-the 'Bth of
