Turkey is decided upon. The Manifesto of Russia,
it is added, will appear without delay.

Austrian Ambassadois, relative to the various ex.'
cesses committed by fanatical individuals have at-
tained their object. On the 90th of November a
Government order was published which prescribes
great severity against all excesses of kid* kind. It is
as follows:
" The perfidy or the treasons and revolts hatched
by the Greek nation have united the Mussulmans of
all classes under their standards, and have caused
them unanimously to assume a warlike attitude. But
it belongs only to the Government to punish the se-
ditious Rajas, who are really guilty of high treason.
This duty it will perform with zeal, when those who
are convicted of this crime fall into its hands. On
the contrary., those against whom there is no ground
of reproach, who prosecute their occupations in a
peaceable and honourable manner, ought to be placed
out of the reach of danger, and protected by all pos-
sible means. For this reason, some time ago the
most formal orders were dispatched 011 this pointio
the Authorities, and Firmans have been published,
in virtue of which the innocent Rajas are neither to
be vexed nor punished ; and the subjects of Powers
in peace, and maintaining friendly relations with the
Ottoman Government, as well as all those who de-
pend upon the Sublime Porte. are not to be exposed
to any insult or any danger. Nevertheless, immoral,
evil-dispesed, and infatuated men, have transgressed
the orders of the Sublime Porte, and committed acts
altogether opposed to the intention of the Govern-
ment, which has therefore found it necessary to order
the arrest and the rigid punishment of the persons
who engage in these excesses. The Sublime Porte
confirms, in the most express manner, by the present
rescript, all previous orders of a similar nature.—
Hencefot th, then, let care be taken not to insult in
any manner whatever the peaceable Rajas, or those
who regularly follow their occupations ; and let the
same conduct be observed' towards the subjects of
friendly Powers. This new and precise order is there-
fore addressed to all Magistrates and Officers of
Police, to take particular care that no injury or insult
be experienced by the Rajas who have taken no part
in the revolt and conspiracy, or to the subjects of fo-
reign Powers who maintain relations of peace and
amity with the Sublime Porte. Let every perverse
transgressor of this order, who shall thus offend our
sacred law, be punished in the severest manner by the
Chief of the corps to which he belongs. The present
Ordonnance, thus renewed, which is to be strictly en-
forced, with the particular prohibition of all abuses
by means of fire-arms, is addressed for that purpose
to all Commanders and Magistrates in order that
they may superintend its execution, and be personally
responsible therefore."
The dismissal of the late Reis Effendi caused some
interruption in the diplomatic negotiations ; but within
the few last weeks different conferences have taken
place with the foreign Ministers. The present Reis
Effendi assisted at these conferences, as well as the
Kadiasker of Romelia and Ganil-Effendi, one of the
most experienced statesmen of the Turkish empire,
who occupied the post of Reis Effendi until the Greek
insurrection broke out.

By direct and authentic news from Teheran, dated
October 19, we learn that the Persian war is neither
at an end, nor nearly terminated. Nothing was known
at the Court of Teheran beyond the irruption of!
Prince Mohamed-Ali-Mirza into the Pashalick of
Bagdad ; but it is stated that no orders were given
for this irruption, which has besides had no result oil
any consequence. It is asserted that nothing was
known of the military operations on the Upper
Euphrates; that the Governor of Tabris, Abbas- Mirza,
second son of the successor of ,he Schah, had not been
authorised to commence them; and if hostilities had
taken place in At menia, they wei e to be attributed to
the Cutdes, who are inclined to war and pillage.—
But whatever be the case with regard to these ante.
rior events, it is certain that the Schah of Persia has
declared in the most positive manner that it entered
in no respect into his views to commence a war with
the Porte and that precise orders had been trans.-
initted to the two Princes not to permit any hostility
against the Turkish provinces. It now remains to be
known whether, after the receipt of this news, the Porte
will withdraw the declaration of war against Persia.
A letter from Warsaw, dated December 11, says,
" The people speak here very loudly and very freely
of war against the Turks. The Russian troops are
so concentrated in Bessarabia and the Ukraine, that
it is impossible they can remain long in that position;
they must, in a short time, either advance or retro-
grade. It appears that orders are expected from St.
Petersburgh to begin a march, and that a courier
from Constantinople will determine which way the
movement is to be."

Extract of a letter from Havannah, dated Novem-
ber 20:—" So many idle reports have go►Se forth in
regard to the state of affairs here, communicated by
billy foreigners, and founded upon coffee-house con-
versation, and which have found their way into the
American Papers, that I should not be surprised that
they have made an impression in the United States,
that we are upon the eve of a Revolution. Now, I
can assure you that we are at present far from it, and
there is nothing to apprehend on that score, as all is
perfectly quiet here at present."

Extract of a letter from Quebec, dated Dec. 6 :
" On Thursday afternoon, a heavy North-east snow
storm commenced, and lasted till next morning : the
depth of snow in the woods, the next day, was about
twelve inches, although much had drifted on the
open grounds; wheeled carriages were generally laid
aside. The wind having come round to the N.W.
several vessels which were ready for sea sailed on Fri-
day. On Sunday morning it was observed that se-
veral market-boats, both in Lower Town and at St.
Rock, had been dashed to pieces in the night. The
Quebec steam-boat, which got ashore at Groudines)
in the snow storm on Thursday, arrived in pen t this
morning."
Extract of a letter from Boston, dated Dec. 8.-
1
" Last year no less than 734 vessels sailed from
Alaska, and the Western coast of America, through
the channels separating America from North Georgia
and Greenland. It is curious to reflect that the very
existence of such a passage was a problem of difficult
solution to Europeans trom the I(3th to 19th Cen-
turies; this was then called the North-west passage,
and was first discovered by a navigator of great
celebrity amongst the ancient English, but it is impos-
sible to ascertain, from the imperfect state of our re-
cords, his true name."

The French Papers of Monday contain an import-
ant article of intelligence from Vienna, and one which
must disconcert those fabricators of Greek murders
who have so disgracefully advocated the sinking
cause of Turkish despotism and cruelty, and libelled
—grossly libelled a brave people, for no other reason
than that when the measure of human suffering became
full, they rose on their oppressors, and wreaked on
them a portion of that vengeance which for centuries
had been poured forth upon themselves. It is posi-
tively affirmed, and indeed so circumstantially stated
as to leave no doubt of the fact, that the strenuous

representations of the English and Austrian Ambas-
sadors have at last been effectual in procuring the
condemnation, at least, of the atrocious severities
exercised, not by the Greeks at Tripolizza or else-
where, but by the Turks against the Greeks. A
Government Order was issued by the Sublime Porte
on the 30th of November, which threatens to punish
all those " immoral, evil-disposed, and infatuated
men, whohave transgressed the orders of the Sublime
Porte, and committed acts altogether opposed to the
interests of the Government." This order gives the
power to the Chiefs of the Corps to which the offenders
may belong, to punish every transgressor in the
severest manner.

, We are far from thinking that this order will be
obeyed, nor, perhaps, does the GRAND SEIGNIOR care
that it should, bat it is important inasmuch as it has
wrung from the Sublime Porte what some of our
contemporaries have sought to deny—an acknow-
ledgment of the dreadful atrocities of the Turks,
while it does not even plead as a palliative, any simi-
lar acts on the part of the Greeks.
What will our Christian contemporary say, now
that his most potent ally, the GRAND SEIGNIOR, dis-
avows the defence he had set up for him, and on the
part of his subjects pleads guilty to the very charge
which the Courier denied : for ourselves, we can only
lament that an English Editor should be outstripped
in generosity by a' turban'd Turk.'
The Madrid Papers to the 19th ult. which we have
received, and the accounts from Spain in the French
Journals, give too positive evidence of the distracted
state of that country.
In the Hamburgh Papers, extracts from which will
be found in another place, there is an article which
states, that letters had been received from Constanti-
nople, dated the 9th of December, which represent
that capital as tranquil ; and restates a rumour which
had reached us from other quarters, that the differ-
ences with Persia had been settled. If so, it has been
the most unmeaning war we ever heard of : but we
must wait for further confirmation before we can give
the report the sliglltest belief.

We have received Madrid Papers to the 18th of
December. The following are extracts:
