CONSTANTINOPLE, rEll. 2o:

of Oat ptincipalty, o.st of Winlaia, and with the different Pa-
chas cg•mmantlitig fortreffes on the Dueifter and the Danube.
" Eight days rfter the expedition of there orders f. e.;he 23d of
°Clothes., we received your relations of the 6 I Sth of the fame
month, by which you ftate the re-inflatemcut of the Princes Mo-
rouzi and YLfilanti, confining yourfelf to this ft-utile information,
without entering into the leaft detail on any thing which might
enlighten the Imperial Mini ftry, conc. tning eircumftances of this
nature. Whatever might have been the dcfire of the Emperor,
our Auguft Matter, to revoke, from this time, the orders given to
General Michelfon, his Imperial Majcfty h..s thought it to be his
duty to wait the further eclairciffements Rated in your Report of
the 6 .t Bth of Odlober, in order to obtain a more pofitive and detail-
ed data concerning fubjedts of fo important a nature, and to be ena-
bled to take meafures in confequence. On there refults, we re-
ctived your different difpatches of the 11-23 d of Odober. I do
not conceal from you, Sir, that by their contents his Imperial Ma-
jetty has not obferved, without grief and furprife, that in fuch a
crifis you timid have conceived it your duty to confine yourfelf to
the mere cc inßatensent of the Princes.

" Whatever be the interest that, under fo many confiderations,
the Emperor has been forced to take in maintaining. with regard
to the Porte, this part of his rights, you cannot, however, Sir, be
ignorant, that they are not the wily ones which his Majefty is well
entitled to claim; and that befides the principal end the Imperial
Court has in view, being to afeertaiti, in a politive manner, the dif-
nations of the Porte,this tingle and naked demonft ration carried
into effedt with fo bad a grace, cannot fuffice to afford us in this
retptel that guarantee which we hold to be indifpenfable, Who
can anfwer to us, in fast, that thi; partial fatisfadtion has not been
given to us by the Porte, in consequence of advice even of our
common encodes? The Jiff, rent conferences which the Arnhaffa •
dor Sebaftiani bad with Ibrahim Ki.iya, and the other Minifters of
the Porte, in the cootie of this negotiation, plead but too much in
favour of this fuppofition.
" Let us fuppofe, for a moment, that the difinifial of the Iforpo-
dars had been the only grievance which we had to chat ge the
Porte with : how, even in this cafe, could we rely with certainty
upon the ftridt and full execution of thc reparation which the Im-
perial Court has just obtained, after the more than equivocal tcr-
giverfation of Prince Morouli, and in the fad hate wkich Walla-
chia Is reduced to, the fineft part of which is invaded by the troops
of Paffwan Oglou, without the Porte appearing to have either the
intention or the receffary means to reprefs there diforders ?---
Were it then only under the latter confickration, his Majefty can-
not be (*addled with the fatisfadtion given, before he be allured
that it will have its full effed : and it is for this purpofe that the
pretence of the Ruffian troops mull efficacioufly contribute to
reftore to the two Principalities, particularly Wallachia, that itate
of calmnefs and fecurity which the Imperial Court has guaranteed
to them by the molt foiemn tranfadtions. You very well com-
prehend, that it is not the perfons of the Hotpotlars Moroni' and
Ypfilanti, that effentially intereft the Imperial Court, but the
tranquillity and welfare of the two Principalities intrusted to their
adminiitration. It is thence that enfues the obligation which Ruf-
fia is under, of fupporting an order of things which was only etta-
blithest by her intervention, and under her aufpices ; and file can
no longer tolerate thc vexatious with which paffwati Oglou and
other Ayans, approximate to Wallachia, overwhelm that unfortu-
nate province, without effentially der. gatiog from what the owes
to herfelf.

" Independent of thefe confiderations which relate exclufively to
the two Principalitica, there are others which would not allow his
Imperial Majefty to look upon the fatistadlion which he has juft
obtained, as a fufficient pledge of the tlncerity of the Porte, in her
ratan to the principles which have occafioned our remonftrances.
Not to repeat again the new grievances fet forth in my difpatch of
the s6th Augult, I mall confine myfelf to recapitulating the princi-
pal ones, without the redrefs of which his Imperial Majefty will
never think he can rely upon the friendly difpofitions of the Porte
towards him with a fccurity which the fafety of his States requires
combined with the prefent fituation of general affairs.
" The pretenfion of attempting to hinder the paffage of his Ma-
jetty's (hips of war and tranfports through the Canal of Conftanti-
nople, and the reiterated difficulties which the Porte has thought
proper to mailifeft upon recent octafions,but too evidently demon-
ftrate the blind fubtniffion of the Turkiffi Government to the will
of France, and the incalculable deviations into which thcfe difpofi-
tions may lead it. liner it no longer refpeds the croft fokmn trea-
ties. To obtain in this refped a guarantee proportilmite to the
importance which we ought to place in the pref, rvation of our
right of paffage through the Canal, his Imperial Majefty thinks it
his duty to demand a folemn and authentic declaration, by which
the Porte than oblige herfill never, and in no cafe in the leaft, to
°barna it, under any pretext whatfoev,r.

" Another objet to which the Imperial Court muft attach equa '
importance,is the renewal of the Treaty of Alliance between the
Porte and Great Britain. The motive whien makes his Imperial
Majefty with that this renewal may take place as loon as poffihle,
is moreover only a confequence of his difpofitions, conftantly
friendly, towards the Sublime Porte, and of the folicitude with
which his Majefty endeavours to maintain the independence and
integrity of the Ottoman Empire ; fur if, on the one fide, it is evi-
dent that the Porte would thereby free itfelf for a long time from
the defentic influence of the French Government, it is not lefs fo
on the other,that in perfifting in her refute] to the 13ritilh Govern-
ment, (he might at length provoke the refentment of a Power
whole great maritime means would not fail to become fatal to her.
" 'ro fum up the contents of this ilifpatch, which I have the ho-
nour to addrefs to you by cep% fs order of our auguft Sovereign,
you will obferve that his Imperial Majefty cannot think the rela
dons exifting between Ruflia and the Ottoman Empire as replaced
upon their :indent bafes, but
r. When the rights and prerogatives fecured to the principa-
lities of Moldavia and Wallachia by the different ftiputitions rela-
tive thereto (hall be re-eftablifhed in their full force and vigour, and
that, namely. the latter of theft provinces (ball be delivered front
the rebel. which lay it wafte, by the care of the Porte, or by his
Nlejetly's troops, and that at the lame time its trararsillity and
future welfare theft he fufficiently guaranteed by the ettablithment
of a national force capable of defending the province againft its
neiehht ors of the Danebe.
" 2. When the Porte (hall have formally renounced the intention
of ohltrudting, under :.ny pretence whatever, the paffage of his
Majelly's thies of war iznd tranfpo•ts through the Bofphorus.
" 3. When the !hall have Lenewed her Treaty of Alliance with
Engl. nd.
" You arc charged, Sir, to eveke there different demands come
to the knowledge of the Grand Signior through the channel which
than appear to you aloft proper. and riot to let his Highnefs be ig-
norant of ail the importance which otlr auguft Sovereign attaches
to their brine duly received by him. But you will take care at
the fame time to affure Salters Salim, in the molt pofitive manner,
thit i• is with great repugnance the Emperor has been under the
nee: fay of having recourfe to the military occupation of the two
principalities; and that this determination, far from concealing any
hnftile intention ageiiift the Ottoman -tares, has no other aim than
thufe declared here above. but (till mere particularly the ardent
defire of hi• Imperial Majefty to be fo much the more able to
b-111.1 the projedts at invafion which the French Government ha. ,
ever manifoted at the expense of Turkey, and which, in the pre
feet corjeudiure, in which Bonsparte will, no doubt, avail himfelf '
of the pretext of the reinftatement of thellorpodars, might foam be
on the ere 01 being put in execution. In general, you will omit
nothii g to eutivitice the Sultan Salim more and more of the con
Raney of the featiments of friendthip and confederation which the
Emperor has vowed to him, adding that his Majtity will only
wait the aceetli in of the Porte to the juft demands which you are
inftrtidted to addrefs to her by the prefect, to give her anew the
molt unequivocal poet's of it. From that time his Majefty would
teftify the greateft readinefs to arrange the different other points
in cotiteft ; the intimate relations which have fo happily ft:Witted
for many years paft between St Peterfburgh and Conftantinople
will he re-ellablithed upon a more folid bails than ever ; and, af-
furcd:y, both empires can only gain by it, in every relpedt.
" The more to ennfolidate fo happy a flee of things, his Ma-
jelly will be ready to receive the minifter whom Sultan Schm
mall judge proper to fend him, to prove in the eyes of all Europe
an eceinntr odation which than complete the willies of his Imperial
Nlaiefiy, and the happy refults of which will thencelorth hihfift
without it appearing neceffary that the Porte mould accredit here
a permanent minifter.

You will be kind enough, Sir, to acquit yourfelf of the different
offices which the prefent dditatch preferibts to you, with the leaft
p0R.,1? delay, and to inform me in like manner of the refult of

..•

Mr. CHARLFS Ate aurtimnr, the MinUler of Eng-
land, appeared at a conference which had been af•
(wed by the Parte, and made the following decla
ration :

" That the Sublime Porte not having ceafed to difplay a pro-
penaty and partiality in behalf of France, had, particularly fince
the arrival in that imperial refidence of General SEBASTIANI, the
French Ambaffidor, changed her principles and fyftem toward.
her Allies.

That the Paid Ambattador having,a few days after his arrival,
prcfented a Note, which contained certain threats, this Note ought
to have been returned, and its author immediately expelled from
the Sublime Porte but ear, on the contrary, the Sublime Porte,
giving a favourable reception to the fail Note, had fignified to R ur-
fia, that her Chips of war mutt no longer pats through the Strait of
the Black Sea.
•' That in the affair of the confirmation of the,WaiwoJes of
Wallachia and Moldavia, an affair which took place at the fequel
of the preceding one, the Sublime Porte ought, at the very inttant,
to have acceded to it; but her tardy content, which was not grant-
ed until three weeks after the formal demand made by the Ruffian
Envoy, was a proof of the fuperior influence acquired by the Court
of France.

" That, in confequence, the Courts of England and Raffia have
fettled and arranged between themfdaes, that the one Ihould con-
vey troops by land to the Muffulman tortitory, whilft the other
fhoulcl fend its fleet by lea to the capital of the Ottoman empire.
If the Sublime Porte will immediately proceed to the renewal of
her alliance with the laid Courts of England and Ruffia, on the
ancil.nt footing, and if fhe will drive the French Ambaffador from
the Imperial refidcnce, the war should immediately ceafc :—but
filmid it be otherwife, the rupture of friendihip with England is
inevitable.

" That, in order to execute the plan already agreed on, the
Court of England, without reckoning the fquadron of °lips it has
at prcfent Rationed before the ifland of Penedos, was to fend
front its harbours a complete fleet, which was to effea a junaion
with the Ruffian one, in order to enter together the ftrait of the
Dardanelles.

" That if the Sublime Porte Intended to give a negative anfvrer
to the prefent propufal, the Ambafrador would caufe all the
Englifh merchants who were in the Ottoman Razes, to return to
their country, and be would remain here to renew the fame pro-
pofal, and again confer on the fame object, when the Paid combin-
ed naval forces ihould be united in this Imperial refidence."

Each of thefe propofals was anfwered in a molt
energetic manner, by the REIS EFFENDII—That the
French Ambaffador was fo far from having threatened
the Sublime Porte, that, fince his arrival, his Govern.
ment had been engaged in a war with PrufEa ; be-
fides which, the great inferiority of the maritime
forces of France was fuch, as could not lead to any
fufpicion that that power intended, in the flighteft
degree, to injure the Porte ; that it was of her own
accord, and with judicial proofs in hand of the crimes
of the two Hofpodars, that the Sublime Porte had
determined to depofe them; that the French Ambaf-
faclor had only learnt the depofition of thefe Princes,
at the fame time as the other inhabitants at Conftan-
tinople ; that the Englifh Minifler had difpenfed with
reminding him, that having made known, whilft
thefe proceedings were going on, the intereft which
the powerful King of Great Britain took with re.
Bard to the two Hofpodars, the Porte had thrunk
from the propofal of being, at the fame time, at war
with Ruffia and England; that in confequence,
Sul-
tan Selim, and all his Minifters, putting up with the
greateft affront which could be offered to an inde-
pendent power, re-eltablithed the Hofpodars, who
but a few days fince they had declared rebels ; that
thus Sultan Selim, by a fliblime effort, had placed
himfelf above the feelings which have the molt in.
fluence over men, in order to purchafe the peace and
happinefs of his fubjeBs at the price of the molt pain.
ful facrifices for his heart ; that he had received the
Hofpodars in his Palace, and given anew the invef
titure of Wallachia and Moldavia to Princes jultly
recognized as criminals ; that inllead of the peace
and tranquillity he had hoped for, lie had obtained
only war ; that his provinces had been invaded,
and that, in molt infulting manifefloes, the Ruf-
fian Generals had taken the liberty to ftate as mo-
tives for war, their critical obfervations on the ad-
miniftration of his people ; that thus attacked by
Ruflla, he had been forced to repel arms by arms,
but that he had then flattered himfelf that a generous
Prince, that a nation fo enlightened as Great Britain
would appreciate thefe facrifices ; that after having
teftified to the Sublime Porte its fatisfaEtion at the
re-eflablithment of the Hofpodars ; that, before two
months were elapfed, the Minitter of the fame Power
would not have declared that this compliance had
been too tardy ; that thus the Minifter of England
had manifefted, in a thlrt time, different opiniems
and oppolite intentions ; that it is a mere mockery to
cite, as a proof of French influence, the facility with
which every thing has been done that England wilhed
for ; that Sultan Selim cannot but appeal to tke mag-
nanimity of the Sovereign of Great Britain ; that,
conitrained to repel force by force, the Sublime Porte
hopes, with the afliflance of the ALMIGHTY, that the
(hall triumph over the molt unjull of aggreflions ;
and that, if at lergth fhe mull fink, the will run
in defending her capital ; and that the Englifh na-
tion, more than any other, will experience irrepara-
ble damage from the ditafters of the Ottoman Em
pire ; that this Empire exit's by the will of the great
and merciful GOD; and that if fuch be the Divine
will, from the very defpair to which Sultan Selim has
been reduced, will refult the neceffary energy for the
defence of the State.

It Paid, that feveral times during this fpeech the
Reis Effendi could not contain his emotion ; and that
it was on going out from this conference, that the
Englifh Minine: got on board the Endymion frigate,
ordered the cable to be cut, and recommended the
EnglA whom he left at Conflantinople, to the care
of the Dana Mininer, and even to the intervention
of the French Ambairador, well perfuaded, that the
latter would be far from imitating the condudt adopt-
ed by the Englifh at the time of the expedition into
Egypt, and would confent to recommend the Mer-
chants of his nation to the Sublime Porte—a Rep
which in fact took place.
The refolutions of the Emperor Selim, and hi. po-
!hien under thefe circumßances, are worthy of atten-
ti, n. Every great and generous mind puts up vows
for the fixed's of his caufe. A Levy of 200,000• men
has juft been ordered throughout this Empire.
Pafwan Oglou is dead ; and the ervians have con-
cluded Peace with the Porte. _

CTURCtWO, FEB. ts.

The Rnfrians, after having fuddenly entered Mal.
davia, which was dellitute of troops, advancc/.
Buchareft, before the Porte had any time to affernl•le
its forces; but Multapha Bayraear has tent ;oto
Wallachia 20,cc0 men, which corps will be followed
by (till more numerous troops, and has gained feve-
ral advantages over the Ruffians. The enemy, who
had advanced to within fome leagues of the Danube,
has been forced out of his potations, and obliged to fall
back upon Buchata. The Grand Ottoman army
is affembling upon the Danube, and the GrandVifier
will take the command. It is animated with the beft
difpofitions, and ardently pants to meet the enemy.
All the roads are covered with troops on their way
to the army, and convoys of ammunition and provi.
(ions. This war is to every Muffultnan a war of re-
ligion, to which they batten with enthufiafm ; and the
fuccets already obtained in Wallachia infpires the
army with new confidence.
