IIEIUiANNSTADT, JULY 14.

The following Representation, signed by the prin..'
,
cipal inhabitants of many towns and districts of Wal-
lachia, addressed to the Russian Consul, from Bucha-
rest, who is now here, has just been received :
We, inhabitants of the Wallachian districts of OAR, Bcc.
&c. relying with entire confidence on existing treaties, and on
the patronage of Russia, had remained quiet spectators of events,
and followed our domestic affairs, when our lands were suddenly
invaded and plundered by the Turks, our houses and our
churches burnt; and, what is much more horrible, our priests
and part of their /lock beheaded, only that a larger number of
Christian heads might be sent to the Turkish Sultan as proofs
of their wicked deeds, and of a conspiracy which we never
thought of. Our loss amounts to millions, and we are irre-
trievably ruined. We therefore request you to send our well-
founded remonstrance to our august patron, that he may afford
us succour, and preserve us against total destruction."

FROM AN AUTHENTIC COMMUNICATION FROM

CONSTANTINOPLE. JUNE 28.

Very urgent remonstrances have been made to the
Ottoman Porte by all the great European Powers,
respecting its severe and cruel conduct towards the
Greeks, and the attitude it seems disposed to assume
towards Russia, which is the intimate ally of Aus-
ti ia, Prussia, England, and Trance. Upon all these
remonstrances the Reis Effendi expressed himself to
all the Ambassadors with the greatest composure and
apparent impartiality, but to the English Ambassa-
dor with a certain frankness and friendship.
The Porte denies that the punishment inflicted on
several of the Greek Clergy proceeds from a spirit of
persecution towards the Christian religion or the
Greek nation. Relatively to the first point, it appeals
to the protection which the Catholics and Armenians
enjoy ; to thefact that thefree and public exercise of the
Greek worship at Constantinople has not beenfor a Ina-
ment interrupted. [From this, it should seem as if the
reports of the destruction of the Greek churches were
false] ; and the sacrilege committed on some village
churches had been severely punished.
It affirms that what was done to the Patriarch,
would have been done to the Mufti if he had been
guilty of simlar crimes—that his perfidy was incon-
testibly proved by eleven letters written by him to
the Morea, «hick are in the hands of the Porte (they
were not shewn)—that his being executed at Easter
was not the effect of design, but because the proofs
of his treason had not been obtained till the preceding
evening—that the Porte, for its own security, was
compelled to use inexorable severity, but that it had
not caused a single individual to be executed, of
whose guilt it had not the most incontrovertible'
proofs. Finally, that the Sultan acted as an inde-
pendent Monarch, who had to account for his actions
to GOD alone.

To Lord Strangford the Reis Effendi gave the as-
surance, that the Porte endeavoured to avoid everything
that would lead to a war with Russia, because it was
very sensible, that as it was unable to repress the
Rebels, it was not in a condition to act alone agair.st
that Power; and well knew that, in the present state
of harmony between all the European Cabinets, no
State would draw a sword in its defence ;—that all
the misunderstandings were the consequences of the
conduct of Baron Strogonoff, and that it would ap-
ply to the magnanimous Emperor himself.—(Baton
Strogonoff is well known to be a man of distinguished
education, polished manners, and noble character.)
