ROI7I:RDAM, MAY 6.

Letters froth Vienna contain the following particu.
lars rel.6ve to the Congress of Yassay, which was no
s,;oner opened than an immediate period was put to
its deliberations. After the respective powers had
been ratified and exchanged, the Russian Commis.
sinners endeavoured to prove, that the two Empires
could nra enjoy the blessings of peace until the fron-
tiers should have been defined in the manner pointed
out by the natt:re of the ground. They represented
to the Torks, that the neighbouring provinces situated
on the left hank of the Danube, would prove a
continual cause of hatred and discord, and render
it indispensably necessary that the country, which fOr
three year; past had been in the possession of Russia,
where she had constructed fortresses, and from whence
she could not be expelled but by a superior force,
should be ceded to her. They therefore proposed the
cession of that country as the first preliminary article
ofnegociatirh ; and declared at the same time, that
it would be unnecessary to continue the negociation
I:7*!i,`, the Porte should accede to the said article.
Tire Ministers of the Porte answered, that such a
for was not by any means to he reconciled with
• e. instructions which they had received, but that on
:e contrary they were strictly charged not to agree
71 any such terms. It is added, that in the first sit-
, 6-- the Congress, the Russian Commissioners de-

property should be attached and sequestrated
the Ottoman Empire.
ddys after the Turkish Ministers wished to
tike their departure for Coatantinaple, but they were
7.reveated from %o doing. It is supposed that Prince
i'r,:sorowsky lins sent two officers to Constantinople
the ultimatum, representing the destructive con-
!,.7ttences with which the refusal of the above article
mid be attended for the Porte, and that the Russians
did not choose to suffer the Commissioners to depart,
-ail the above two officers should have returned.

After the Congress had broken up, a number of
couriers have been dispatched with instructions for the
ossian Generals, who command on the Danube.—
fl ,feral regiments have put themselves in motion, and
":ery thing seems to announce the immediate renewal
of hostilities.
