A special commission has already been slr
pointed at Odessa, by order of the EAINIEOR, for the Pwl
pose of examining into the merits of such clairirsas
arise from losses in trade experienced bthe late 14bit14,
acts of the Porte on Russian property at Colistautinlice,
An official notification has appeared in the Odessa Gask.,.
.to the end that the merchants of that place who hail
sufferers,should, without delay, specify and prove t.".

It is a curious fact that Holland was the fir'w
state to which the Porte granted the privilege of free P
sage for its vessels into the Black Sea, the treaty in whii
the agreement was stipulated having been signed so far ha
,e,'
as the year 16SO ; and yet it was only in 1820 that ty
Porte first consented to the execution of that conventicia;
by offering firmans to the Dutch ships to proceed
Odessa and Taganrog. The clauses which relate to tbro
navigation had remained dormant all the while, add js
required no less than two years of negotiation to perms
the Porte that they had not thereby been rendered nut;
gatory. The first Dutch vessel, however, which 1,
availed itself of the renewed privilege only arrived at Ociew

on the Ith of April last.

armament was preparing in Sweden, and its destination se
supposed to be the Archipelago. At that time; and indeed
up to the present moment, the Turkish Governmentt
