LONDON.
THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 8, 1829.

The Prussian State Gazette of the 30th
September and the 2d October have been re-
ceived this morning, and confirm the intelligence
which we gave yesterday, that Peace had been
signed on the 14th of September, at Adrianople.
The Prussian Ambassador at Constantinople
was mainly instrutnental in contributing to the
signing of the Treaty within the time prescribed
by General DIEBITSCII.
With respect to the terms upon which Peace
is granted to the SULTAN, it appears to us,
that however hard and humiliating they may
be, the SULTAN richly deserves them, for it is
entirely owing to his ridiculous obstinacy that
the war commenced at all—and after having

commenced, that it did not terminate with the
first campaign, when both parties might have
retired from the contest without dishonour.—
But while we condemn the obstinacy and pride
of the Turks, we cannot praise the ambition
of the Russians, nor can we be blind to
the insidious policy by which they contrive
to keep pcssession of the conquered corn -
try till, after the instalments are paid. It
must be obvious to any one, that if the Russians
do not re-cross the Balkan till after the third
instalment is paid, that they will not be in a
hurry to re-cross it at all. It is their object to
remain—and every subterfuge will be resorted to
for the accomplishment of that purpose. In the
meantime, there will arise numberless oppor-
tunities to conciliate the Turkish population,
and when her plans are ripe, Russia will
set up new demands or misconstrue the o'.d,
while the Emperor NICHOLAS will be relieved
from any scruples of conscience which his pro-
fessions of moderation have lately thrown in the
way of his ambition. The following are extracts
from the Prussian Gazette, the Austrian Ob-
server, and the Allgemeine Zeitung:—
WARSAW, SEPT. 26.

A despatch from General Count Diebitsch Sitbat
kausky announces that on the 14th instant a defini•
tive treaty of peace was signed at Adrianople, be.
tween the Plenipotentiaries of his Majesty the Em.
peror and those of the Sultan.

WARSAW, SEPT. 28.

We have learned from an authentic source the
following particulars of the circumstances which
irn-
mediately preceded the conclusion of peace :—" In
order to remove as far as possible the objections
which the Turkish Plenipotentiaries charged with
the negociations at Adrianople appeared latterly to
oppose to the definitive conclusion of the treaty of
peace, and in the well-founded apprehension, that in
case General Diebitsch should find that the time
which he had positively fixed was suffered to elapse
without effect, the inevitable consequence would be
the advance of the army against the capital, M. Von
Royer, Prussian Ambassador to the Porte, resolved,
at the express desire of the Sultan, and the urgent
reques►t of the Ambassadors of England and France,
to embark without delay for Rodosto, and thence
to proceed to the head-quarters of General Diebitsch,
to remove the difficulties. His exertions essentially
contributed to the signing of the treaty of peace
within the time given to the Porte."

'VIENNA, SEPT. 27.

Sitrultaneou3 accounts from Bucharest and Sem-
iin announce the signing of peace between Russia
and the Porte, at Adrianople, on the 14th Sept.
PERA, SEPT. 10.

Ever since the sth instant, when an express from
the Turkish Plenipotentiaries at Adrianople brought
despatches to the Porte relative to the progress of
the negotiations, all the Turkish aria European Mi-
nisters have been in motion, and the Diplomatists
betray an uneasiness which will scarcely be calmed
till the realm of M. Von Royer, who, after a long
conference with Sir Robert Gordon and Count
Guilleminot, set out on the Bth, in the evening,
for the Russian head-quarters. It seems, that the
terms demanded by Russia are the cause of all this
bustle ; the Turkish Plenipotentiaries, though fur-
nished with unlimited powers from the Sultan,
would not venture, before they had received farther
instructions, to put their names to a treaty, the ful-
filment of which they conceived to be impossible,
because the payment of 48 millions of Turkish
piastres for the indemnity of Russian subjects, stipu.
fated by the treaty of Akermant, is to be made im-
mediately on the ratification of the treaty of peace,
and General Diebitsch has declared that the Russian
army shall remain in its present positions till
the payment is made. The Turkish Plenipotentiaries
had succeeded in obtaining a delay of ten days to
procure fresh instructions,which have now been sent
to them, with directions to sign the treaty, and to
declare to General Diebitsch that he will mot refuse
his ratification, and that he expects from the gene-
rosity of the Emperor conditions which he will be
able to fulfil. M. Von Royer seems to hare gone
to the Russian head-quarters, at the desire of the
French and English Ambassadors, in order to obtain
from General Diebitsch a modification of the de-
mand of 48 millions of piastres immediately on the
ratification of the treaty, so that one-third only
should be paid immediately, and the remainder in
certain intervals. At the same time he is to en-
deavour to obtain an important alteration in one
article of the treaty relative to Greece, and at
which the two Ambassaders are greatly surprized.
This article is stated to be to the following effect :
" That the Porte shall recognize not only the treaty
of London of 6th of July, but also the protocol of
March 22, and to engage to assent to the extension
of the boundaries of Greece to the Gulfs of
Volo and Arta." This stipulation by no means
accords with the instructions of the two Am-
bassadors, and they therefore exert them-
selves to the utmost that the arrangements to be
made respecting Greece may be left to be tettled at
the conferences at London. From the Porte Sir
R. Gordon could only obtain the declaration that it
wishes the Greek question to be settled at London,
and leaves the fate of Greece to be discussed there,
provided the Russian General gives his consent.
We are now impatient for the next accounts from
Constantinople, and do not doubt that peace is at
hand. The other more important points are said to
be the demolition of all the Turkish fortresses on
the left bank of the Danube. (The remainder of
this article, respecting the cessions in Asia, the pay-
ment of the indemnity, &c. coincides with the state-
ments received through other channels )
The Turkish fortresses to be demolished are,
Ghiurgevo, Kale, Tournoul, and Ibrailow, which
being on the left bank of the Danube are to be in
corporated with the principalities on which they are
situated.

The French Papers of Tuesday have been re-
ceived by Express. They too confirm the news
of peace, and give some particulars of the terms,
which will be found in another column.

`We have the confirmation of peace in the
East now pouring in from all quarters. The
news was received by the Dutch Government on
Sunday last. The following are extracts from
Brussels Papers of the 7th instant :

NAPOLI DI ROMANIA, AUG. 4.

terday, and paid a visit to General Trezel, who has
been here for some days, and who was hindered

musket ball August 18, 1826. His premature
death is generally regretted.
BRUSSELS, OCT. 5.

Our Government received the news of the con-
clusion of peace between Russia and the Porte, by
an extraordinary courier on Sunday last.

No particulars of the treaty of peace, signed
between Tifikey and Russia, have reached Go-
vernment, up to the time of our going to press.

Dispatches were received at the Foreign Office
this morning from Lord STUART DE ROTH.
SAY, our Ambassador at Paris, and from Sir
CEIARLES BAGOT, at Brussels.

At the Colonial Office dispatches have been
received from Colonel PONSONBY, Governor of
Malta.

The following is from our Paris Correspon-

dent :--

" PARIS, OCT. 6.
" The French Government has received in-

telligence, dated from Constantinople on the 16th

of September, that the treaty of peace between
Russia and Turkey had been signed at Adria.
nople on the 14th ult. Having been brought
by telegraph, and, in fact, repeated along the
two lines from Strasburg and Toulon, the de-
tails are not so minute as hereafter they will be
but the following particulars may be relied on :
The ancient treaties, and particularly that of
Akermann, are re-established. The free pas-
sage of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles is
assured to ships of all nations not at war with
Russia or Turkey. The liberties and privileges
of the inhabitants of the principalities, stipu-

lated in the treaty of Akermani', arc renewed,

and more completely confirmed. Servia is to
enjoy the same liberties and privileges with Mol-
davia and Wallachia ; and six districts, which
had been unduly separated from that province,
are to be again united to it. All places on the
left bank of the Danube are to belong to the
principalies of Wallachia and Moldavia, and are
to be exempted from the maintenance of Turkish
garrisons. The fortress of Giurgevo is to be
demolished. Poti, Anapa, and Achalzick, with
some portion of territory, are ceded to Russia-.
The protocol of the 22d of March is recog-
nized, without prejudice to negociations with
the great Powers, parties to the treaty of Lon-
don. All Christian subjects are to have power
to emigrate with their fortunes. A mutual ces-
sation of arms is to take place between the Greeks
and the Turks. The Porte is to pay an indem-
nity to the' commerce of Russia of 1,500,000
ducats, equal to about 750,0001. sterling. The
indemnity for the expellees of the war is
to be 10,000,000 of ducats, nearly equal to
5,000,000/. sterling. Ten years are allowed for
the payment, but sooner at the option of the
Porte ; the final evacuation of the Ottoman ter-
r;tory taking place only after the liquidation of
the whole indemnity.
" To these authentic particulars a great many
speculations are added in the course of circula-
tion, but in which it is impossible to place any
confidence. It is said, for instance, that the
treaty had been concluded in opposition to the
remonstrances of the French and English Am-
bassadors. It is even stated that they had pre-
pared to oppose it, and had given orders to the
Allied fleets to enter the Dardanelles. Under
these circumstances it is averred that the Sultan
applied to the Russian General to come to his
assistance, and that in compliance with the
wishes of the Porte, General Diebitsch had im-
mediately marched on Constantinople ; and this
statement is given as a solution of the various
contradictions on that subject. Hence it is con-
cluded, that although a peace has been signed
between Russia and Turkey, hostilities in the
East of Europe are not yet at an end. For my
part, I am not disposed to allow much weight
to the rumours which have thus been circulated,
or to the apprehensions which have been deduced
from them. The treaty appears to be quite as
moderate as could have been reasonably antici-
pated under all the circumstances. The pecu-
niary indemnity is not near so great as many
had predicted ; and as to territorial acquisitions,
they are, with reference to European politics,
absolutely insignificant. Anapa is a small town,
situated at the extremity of the west side of
Asia, and almost surrounded by the territory of
the Cossacks of the Black Sea. Poti, placed
at the mouth of the Phasis, is also like Anapa,
an isolated point, which the Turks must sooner
or later have lost, after the occupation of Georgia
by the Russians. As to the fortress of Achal-
zick, as its territory forms a salient angle be-
tween imeretia and Georgia, it is not surprising
that the Russian Cabinet should be desirous of
uniting it to the Imperial possessions beyond the
Caucasus, since a body of troops placed ois that
point might march in a few days to the gates of
Tiflis. It seems unreasonable, therefore, to tax
the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh with ambition,
for having demanded the cession of those for-
tified places which threatened the safety of seve-
ral of the provinces of the empire. The only
stipulation of the treaty which appears to me to
warrant any serious alarm, is the long period
granted for the payment of the indemnity, joined •
to the nature of the pledge which is given in
security. Moderate as this indemnity may be
considered in amount, it is not improbable that
the Porte will at least require the whole of the
stipulated period for its liquidation. Before that
period arrives some other event may befall, in
the chapter of accidents, to enable the Imperial
creditor to foreclose the mortgage, and appro-
priate the security ; and if such an issue is really
an object to be deprecated by the great Powers
of Europe, it . seems at least to be worthy of
consideration whether they should not, in legal
