CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. Ste.

We heir that an extract from a letter of Mr. Stratford Canning
to the Ambassador of the Netherlands leas bees communicated to
the Porte, he which Mr. Canning speaks of arrangements relative
to the restoration of the Greek State. He affirms, that the English
Government has spin defended the interest of the Porte, and op-
posed the desire of France to extend the boundaries to the Gulf of
Arta and Volts, and has only agreed to include the Mores and the
Cyclades in the limits of Greece, which bas been providooglly
assented to by the other two Powers. In order to prepare the
Divan for the official communication which is soon to be made of
this resolution. and at the same time to learn its opinion, Baron V.
Zsrgiln made a confidential communication of the letter he bad re.
eel•fd to the Reis Farad', and requested his opinion on the subject.
Thisugh the Reis Effendi very poUtely expressed his acknowledge-
ments for the confidence of the Ambassador of the Netherlands,
he is said to have given an evasive answer to the question,
" What the Porte thought to do when the resolution of the
Powers was communicated to it, and it would find itself

Ender the necessity of either agreeing to it, or seeing Greece re-
cognised without its consent ?" and be is said to have intimated that
be, the Reis Effendi, was only the organ and not the soul of the
Ottoman Ministry, and must hear his colleagues before he could
form an opinion or give an answer. As for himself he did not
doubt the good intentions of the English Gine/m.4d, nor would
be cast any reproacboo that of France, only be could not conceive
the

of a Grrek State hot that form, as he bad a

very different notion of a Greek State, and could nut but connect
it with the overthrow of the Ottoman Empire in Europe. The
seat of the Greek Sovereigns had not been in Napoli or Egina, but
Constantinople, and If the Porte had been indebted to its nary for
the posseuion of that capital, it must expect to lose it through the
Increasing marine of the inhabitants of the Archipelago. How then
could its assent be requited? It should seem from this that the
Reis Effendi is not disposed to recognise the Greeks, and that the
Porte will reject every proposal to that eff_ct, though it must greatly
desire an accommodation with Raglan.: and France, and would
make many sacrifices to see Messrs. Canning and Guillrminot re-'
return to Constantinople.

The works for the defence of the Capital are still•carried on with
great activity, and though no stranger is permitted to go near
them, it may be seen from a distance on what a great scale they
are executed. In general, the measures of the Government show
that it is resolved to carry on the next campaign with energy, and
that It has not been lulled asleep, or frightened, by what has
hitherto taken place.—Algeaseisse Zeitessig, As& 9.

The 71,!is Mattis says—" The incessant attacks of the Turks on
theßussian detachment in the Pachalik of Bajaset, and the news that
ilmin, Paths of Morel', had received considerable reinforcements

with scene pieces of cannon,hrduced Major Gen. Prince Tclautcha-
*adz; to quit his position in the village of Patine, and taken new
one between Toprak-kale aqd Dinsline. On 9th November,in the
tuning, he left Pantos, accompanied by 160 Armenian families,
who earnestly requested to be allowed to follow our troops. As
soon u the enemy bend of his departure, they occupied the
village of Patnos and burnt it. On the march the enemy made
several attacks with a very superior force on the rear, but
were constantly repulsed ; and after a most fatiguing march of
two days, the detachment reached the village of Karaklis, between
Toprak.kale and thirdine. In the attack on the 30th, when the
lentity wu 4,000 strong, he lost 200 men; and our loss, to kilted
and wounded, was 19. Thy% by merely defendve operation', all
the attempts of the Turks in the Pachalik of Bajazet, In the envi-
rons of Ersertunt, the centre of the principal force of Asiatic
Turkey, have been defeated. The other provinces subdued by our
arms enjoy perfect tranquillity, and the Oaken who are entrusted
with the administradon of them have gained the confidence of the
linhabitants. Every precaution has been taken to base the attempts
of the enemy; and the increasing severity of the winter secures us
for a loos time against any important enterprise on the part of the
Turk.—Jeatersal de Si. Alersiturgh, Dec. 23.
