FRANKFORT PAPERS.

We received Frankfort Papers to the 3d inst.
this morning. The following are the most inte-
resting of their contents:---
" LAYILICH, MARCH 25.—0 n the 6th of this
month Prince Alexander Ypsilanti, son of the
former llospodar of Moldavia, Major-General in
the Russian army, who for this year past has
been out of actual service, proceeded with a.nu-
merous retinue of Amounts from Bessarabia to
Jassy, and announced himself as the deliverer of
the Greeks from the Turkish Government. On
the same evening the Turks who were at Jassy
(about 30 in number) were disarmed, and, ac-
cording to all appearance, put to death. It is
certain that already, three days before the arri-
val of Prince Ypsilanti, an insurrection, attended
with bloodshed, had taken place at Galacz, in
which all the Turks in that city, who would not
save thqmselves by flight, were massacred, and
the city itself almost laid in ashes.
" On the 17th March, Prince Ypsilante issued
numerous proclamations, both to the inhabitants
of Moldavia and Wallachia, and to the Greek
Nation, in the provinces of the Turkish Empire.
These proclamations, drawn up in the most ex-
alted language of poetry, •in which he declares
himself to haVe been called upon by many thou-
,
Isands of his countrymen fo undertake the work
' of their deliverance, describes the insurrection of
all the Greek tribes as a resolution which has
long been resolved upon, which has been prepar-
ing for many years by secret patriotic Societies,
and is now every where matured for execution ;
and it is likewise expressly asserted in them,
that the enterprise has to expect the powerful
support of a great neighbouring power ; at the
same time Prince Ypsilanti addressed a petition,
drawn up in the same style, to his Majesty the
Emperor of Russia, and called upon that august
Sovereign not to refuse his powerful support to
the Greek Nation, and particularly to the two
principalitieS which were exposed to great danger.
"As soon as the preceding intelligence was re-
ceived•at Laybach,. his Majesty the Emperor
Alexander was pleased to declare that he could
consider the undertaking of Prince Ypsilante only
4s an effort of the unquiet spirit which charac-
terises the present times, as well as of the inex-
perience• and levity of that young man, but at the
same time his Majesty has resolved as follows :
" Ist. Prince Ypsilanti is excluded from the
Russian service.

" end. It is notified to him that his Majesty the
Emperor entirely disapproves of his enterprize,
and that he is never to expect any kind of sup-
port in it on the part of Russia.
" 3rd. Express orders are given to General
Count Wittgenstein, Commanding in Chief the
Russian troops on the Pruth and in Bassarabia, to
observe the strictest neutrality in the troubles
which have brOken out 'in the principalities of
Moldavia and Wallachia, and under no pretext
whatever to take any part in them, either directly
or indirectly.

"4th. These resolutions are communicated to the
Russian Ambassador at Constantinople, with or-
ders to communicate them to the Porte, and to
confirm the frank and open assurances given to
it on occasion of the late insurrection in Wal-
lachia. Baron Von Strogonoff shall expressly
declare, that the policy of his Majesty the Em-
peror is once for all alien to all and every in-
trigue which may threaten the tranquillity of any
country whatever ; that every participation in
such commotions would be hi contradiction to
the upright principles of his Imperial Majesty,
and that the' Emperor in his relations with the
Porte has no object and no wish but the main-
tenance and punctual execution of the Treaties
subsisting.between the two Powers.
" Orders have likewise been given by our
Court to the Imperial Austrian Internuncio at
Constantinople, to express himself in the same
manner, and to signify to the Porte in the most
friendly terms the sincere desire of his Majesty
the Emperor, by the inviolable observance of the
Treaties, to preserve unshaken the neiations of
peace and amity now subsisting between Austria
and the Sublime Porte."---(Franleybrt German
Gazette, April 3, I 89.1.)
