[MORNING I'OST.]
The Manifesto, said to have been drawn up
by the Russian and Austrian Governments, has
Isot yet been made public ; and the delay in its
appearance creates fresh doubts of its existing
any where, save in the articles of Newspapers,
or the letters of private Corre•spondents. But in
the absence of this document, another is spoken
ofi which, though less decisive in its language,
would ultimately lead to the same result. We
mean the categorical reply, said to have been
made by the Emperor Alexander to the corn-
.plaints of the Porte against Baron Strogonoff.
instead of reproving the conduct of his Minister,
the Emperor is represented to have demanded
complete satisfaction from the Porte for the in-
•sults offered to that distinguished and spirited
individual, and to have allowed only eight days
.for that satisfaction to be given. Should it
be withholden at the termination of that period,
the Baron, it is added, has orders to quit
Constantinople, and the Russian troops assent-
_ bled on the Pruth, to enter Moldavia. As it is
scarcely possible that Sultan Mahrnud, even if
-willing himself, should possess sufficient influence
over the people, and the fanatical Janissaries, to
be able to give the satisfaction required, war be-
tween the two States appears inevitable. This
information is derived from Vienna, and therefore
entitled to some credit; for all that has hitherto
proceeded from that quarter has. shewn that a
,wish existed somewhere to prevent intelligence
favourable to the Greeks from transpiring. The
appearance of such a statement would conse-
quently imply a change in the views and
opinions of those by whom the publication of in-
telligence is regulated. It is also remarkable,
that the Petersburgh Journals of the 3d ult.
should have announced that the retreat of the
Greeks, who occupied Bucharest, was in accord-
ance with a settled plan, and should have cau-
tioned the public, before they judged 'of that
operation, to wait its results. These indications
are certainly not decisive, but they seem pre-
paratory to an open avowal and adoption of the
Greek cause ; and what is perhaps still more im-
portant, by displaying themselves at once in the
Austrian and Russian capitals, give fair reason
to think that an understanding on the subject has
taken place between the two Powers.

[NEW TIMES.I
Letters were received yesterday morning from
the Consul-General at Con .tantinople to the 2d
July, and from the Consul at Smyrna to the 26th
June. They -are of a satisfactory nature, and
;furnish direct contradiction- to the continued fic-
tions which have recently filled the ,coluMns of
the French Journals. Indeed upon this subject
we,cannot caution our readers fro much against
a ready credence of the accounts which proceed
from that capital, for it is perfectly evident that
for some time past a continued fabrication of
falsehoods has been adopted for the purpose of
Affecting the Government Rentcs, thus present-
ing an • advantageous opportunity for certain
speculators to take the new Loan. All the
most frightful accounts which have been re-
ceived-- respecting Turkey-. have proceeded
from France; the . burning of Smyrna was
the first,.and every successive post has brouk,,,lit
Accounts of an equality alarming nature. Ac-
cording to the above-mentioned letters from
Constantinople, the fears of a war bet ween Rus-
sia and Turkey are entirely at an end. The Em-
peror has answered the representations of the
Ottoman Porte by a communication, the contents
.of which although not altogether known, are be-
lieved to be of a nature to consolidate peace and
amity between the two Powers. He is said to
have expressed his displeasure at the conduct of
his Ambassador, Baron Strogonoff, and his in-
tention of immediately recalling him.—We give
the following extract of •a letter, of which we
have been favoured with a sight :
" CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 2.—We have not written to
you under such pleasant feelings; as the intelligence which it is
now our duty to communicate, affords us. All the attempts of
the Russian Authorities to provoke the vengeance of the Otto-
man Government, have entirely failed ; and it is with infinite
satisfaction we find that the indignities which they have been
continually offering, were not sanctioned by their Government.
An express has been received by the Porte containing a commu-
nication from the Court of St. Petersburg, in answer to the re-
presentations of this Government. The Contents have not been
publicly made known ; but were strong reason to believe
that it contains confidential. assura%ces of amity, and a decided
disapproval of the conduct of Baron Strogonoff; who will be im-
mediatelyre-called. You may 'easily conceive the general satis-
faction this has given, wlaieli is rendered the more pleasing by
the expectation that this good understanding between the two
Courts will lead to a mediation between the Turks and the
Greeks, and prevent a recurrence of the horrible atroities
which of late it has been our painful task to narrate."

[BRITISH PRESS.]
We learn, on the authority of a private letter
from Vienna, that the; Emperor Alexander has
returned an answer to the Remonstrance which
the Porte had transmitted to him complaining of
the conduct of Baron StrOgonoff, but not in a
tone likely to 'appease the resentment of the
angry Sultan. The whole' contents of the answer
have not transpired, but it is understood that the
Emperor Alexander has required a complete sa-
tisfaction for the insults offered to his Ambas-
sador, and that only eight days have been al-
lowed to the Porte to consider of its answer.—
The Ambassador, in the mean time, has received
instructions to leave the dominions of Turkey if
the satisfaction required be not granted, and the
Commanders of the Russian army that now rests
upon the frontiers of Moldavia have received
sealed orders, which they are -not to open
before a certain day. We are not apprised ,
of the nature of the satisfaction required,
but in the Vienna letter a doubt•is very properly
suggested whether the Sultan possess sufficient
power over his fanatical soldiery and people as
would enable. him to acquiesce in the demands
of Russia. A despotic Government is powerful
only over individuals ; it can oppress its subjects
