(From the Gazette de France of March 6.) '
CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. '4.—The measures adopted for
some days past, prove that the Sultan and' his Ministers
no longer show any moderation, nor listen to the counsels
of reason.
~, At-Constantinople and at hmyrna the local authorities
q- continue to give orders to embark the most considerable
Europeans on board ship, which are ready to convey them
to the Archipelago. No more firmans are given to pass,
the Bosphorus, and the intercourse with Odessa is entiory.
interrupted. It is easy-to foresee what effect thisineasure
will have on the Southern provinces of Itnisia; and the
imminent ruin of rnany houses... •

The Armenians continue to be tke, objects of the most
cruel peisecutions, and prefer going into banishment to
purchasing the protection of the Patriarch' by renouncing
their faith. The Porte appears no longer to make a secret
of its intention to send away all the Christians. The
Envoys are continually employed in distributing relief to
the victims, which is the only kind of assistance that the
Porte permits to be affoided
The hellth of M. d'Ottenfels,, which has been for some
time weak, gives no reason to hope any improvement under
the present circumstances. His sufferings have consider-
ably increased, and we fear that he will be obliged,' on this
account, to quit his-post. Nis departure would cause a
general regret at Pera, and the Franks would low in him
their firmest support.. It was feared also, that if the Porte
does not return to a more moderate system, many of the ,
Colleagues of M. d'Ottenfels will also quit Constantinople.
It is said that all the Ministers residing here have given
their Courts an exact description of their present situation,
and asked for fresh instructions, that they may not be ex-
posed to remain in a position contrary to the dignity of
their Sovereigns. The Porte has refused hitherto to ratify
the Treaty for the navigation of the Black Sea, concluded
with _Spain and Naples, though the ratification of Spain has,
alredy, been received, and that of Naples is every moment
expeeted.—Avgsburgh Gazette.

(FROM A PRIVATE LETTER OF THE 4TH.)

The rigorous measures continue to excite general alarm.
The Armenian Patriarch, terrified by the acts of violence
exercised towards the Armenian Catholics, and fearing they
might be extended also to himself, has at length resolved to
apply to the Kiaja Bey, to obtain some modifications in
favour of those who have remained in the capital ; but the
Sultan will not hear of any modifications, ald has ordered,
on the contrary, *the strict execution of th 4 Hatti Seheriff.

It is hoped, nevertheless, that by the .mediation of the
Austrian Inteio, the farther confisei ticaf the pro.
perty of the 4enian Catholics will be suspended ; and
the inote.so, as the Divan persists in he eying that these
meastims are not founded on motives of religion but of po-
licy, being taken in consequence of the distrust excited by
theinatunac4 of Russia over the Armenians. It is pre-
tended, however, that the Sultan will in the end listen to
the representations of the Patriarch in favour of the :ichis-
.matic Armenians who are at Constantinople.
The Ministers at Pens are also apprehensive for their.
safetyl and have freighted European merchantmen to take
them on .board with their families. --Similar fears. prevail
at Smyrna,.,and add to the uneasiness of the Christians.
VIEANA, EYE. 25.—1 t is aaid that at the beginning of
May next, the combined squadrons will assemble in the
Archipelago.

VIENNA, FEB. £G.—(By Express.)—M. de Canity has
just set- out fur Constantinople. It is to be observed that
lie did not come from Petersburg'', but from Berlin; that
lie has not seen Prince Metternich, and did not leave
Vienna till after the conference which RI. de Bulow, the
Prussian Minister, had with Prince Metternich. It is
thought that he is the bearer of the Russian Ultimatum to
the Porte.

PARS, MARCH s.—The departure for the Morea of
several regiments of infantry and cavalry, commtuided by
General Loverdo, a Greek by origin, is announced. On
the other hand it is stated, that preparations for defence
are Asking at Constantinople.
What We can ailltm le, that the 'most complete :union
prevaiisbetweeo the three Powers, parties in the Treaty of
London ; and that the other two PoWers will act in con-
cert with Russia, England, and France. The Minister for
Fdreign Affairs is togive this assurance in the Secret Com-
mittee of the Charaberi.

(From the Journal des Debuts.)

When, in the 13th 'and 14th centuries, our Kings gave
tit the Cities so many rights of enfranchisement, were they
referred to • the Bishop or the Chatelain? No; they de-
liberated allont them with:the Magistrates and other Wor-
thy (Citizen:. Ought less; then, to be done in °this age
of intellect and dkcussion? The city of Paris raises 45
millions for its Budget, and has a Municipal Council which
represents its interests. The late Minister, with whom
reason was a sin, selected from this Council two men of
.experience, two rich and upeful Citizens, honOured with
the public esteem—Messrs. Delessert sad Ternaux. .Why
has not M. de Martignac restored thew. Gentlemen?
Does he fear their independence, even when applied to
theories?

A municipal system rannot be formed without touching
on serious questions appertaining to political order; with-
out considering the subjects of presentation and election ;
without determining what part the, Royal Authority
should keep—what part it should give up to free choice and
local influence. These reflections were written when we
received the Moniteur of this day, whioh contains the fol-
lowing Ordinances, under the date of Iviaroh. The first
three are countersigned Portalis, and the last Mattignac.

The Ordinances we haie given, are, taken in a general
political point of view, of a nature to soften the article by
which they were preceded. France will then see a Sen-
sible progress in the march of opinion, and will be glad to
rind. those men called into power, whose courageous Co_
operation will be incompatible with these dilatory and
timid measures whi4h have only appeared to promise a re-
-464, by indefinitely adjourning the application of it.
'f lie principles of M. Hyde de Neuville and the Bishop of.
Beavais afford a powerful Pledge, not only for the liberties
..of our.Chureh—but for what are not less precious.--the
liberties of the nation.
