LEGHOttN, DECEMBER 14.

The Russian subjects wh•• have taken refuge in the
lonianlsles a re thc object ef thestrictestsuperintendence
of the Local Authol ides. Some day all will be known;
end there is no doubt but that the EiMperor Alexan-
,dir will extend to them his benevolent and paternal
tegard.-11)e siege of Patras still continues : the
Creeks are occupied in making mines, and it is pro-

We have seen a private letter from Leipzic, of the
25th ult. brought by the Mail of Saturday, in which
the writer says—,, Everybody here is looking for war,
as the GRAND SULTAN is dead." That is, as we un-
derstand it, the war party at Constantinople is ex-
pected to carry its point, the SULTAN being now out
of the way. Whether the alleged death of the SUL-
TAX rests on any new accounts received at Leipzic, or
on. the same rumour that reached this country a few
days ago, we have not the means of ascertaining.

is reported on 'Change this morning, that Go-
mein have received dispatches from Lord STRANG•
Ft:1(1), at Constantinople, of the 70th of December,

xvi.ich had so long occupied the consideration of the
Pore, had been acceded to ; and the question of war
cr peace, by this concesion, it is hoped will now
be at test.
