TRANSLATION OF AN OFFICIAL NOTE PROM THE PORTS

TO TIIE AMBASSADOR FROM TRANCE.
(TILANSMITT/LD TIM 9TH AUGUST, 1521.)
" In consequence of the rebellion of the Rayas, the regula-
tions for the provisions of Constantinople, to be derived from its
neighbourhood, having been rendered insufficient, this capital is
ultimately deprived of the necessary quantity of grain. But this
article being the first and most urgent of the wants of the peo-
ple, it has become requisite to take measures to procure it in
abundance; and it is above all things clear, as all the world
knows, that for the tranquillity and good order of an empire,
it is necessary sometimes to have recourse to extraordinary means.
" This is the reason, it has been agreed for some time, in
presenting Official Notes to the Ministers and Charges d'Affaires
residing at the Ottoman Porte, that the vessels of the Merchants,.
depending on friendly Powers, which should arrive at Constan-
tinople from the Black Sea, with cargoes of corn, had been sent
to be ground in the neighbourhood of the magazine, in order
that the Government might buy the corn, as had been practised
in times past. Now the Sublime Porte, finding that it has al-
ready bought from the vessels of the friendly Powers, a quan-
tity of corn sufficient fer the capital, it affords permission to the
Agents of tke friendly Powers, who shall arrive in future at the
port of Constantinople, with cargoes of corn, to transport them
into the White Sea, in order that they may not be prejudiced
in their mercantile operations. and orders have been issued on
this subject, and expedited to the Officers of the Sublime Porte
in consequence.
" But as the Sublime Porte requires, in an amicable manner,
that the said Merchants may not sell grain to the Pirates that
cruise in the Archipelago, the very distinguished Ambassador,
our friend, would do well to order the French Merchants who
arrive in future from the Black Sea with cargoes of corn, and
who have now permission to transport them to the White Sea,
that seeing the amity firmly exiting between the Porte and the
Court of France, they may not sell grain to Pirates.
" It is, then, to request him to be pleased to give this order
to kis Merchants, and to give proofs of his kindness and his
wisdom, even in this circumstance, that silo present Official
Note is written and sent to him.

" 11th Talkaacte, 1236—(9th August, 1821)."

We have received.to-day Austrian Observers to'
the 2d of September. They contain what has, for a'
long time, been a great novelty—authentic accounts
from Morea and Livadia ; and we regret to say that
they arc extremely unfavourable to the cause of
Grecian emancipation. The following are extracts :

VIENNA, SEPTEMBER].
By the latest accounts from Constantinople, of the
10th August, it appears that news had been received
there from the Morea and Livadia, which state that
the Imperial troops had succeeded in driving the
Insurgents from some districts of those provinces,
and in restoring tranquillity there. The details arc
contained in the following extracts from a Report of
Mahomed I'acha, Governor of the Morea, to the
Grand Vizier, of the 23d July
" I inform your Excellency that I arrived before
Livadia on the 23d June, and encamped here with
my army. The Rajas had murdered the greater
part of the Musselmans in this province, violated
their women, and made their families slaves. They
persisted in their rebellion; and, when they learned
that troops were advancing against them, the Insur,
gents of the surrounding districts united with those
who formed their advanced posts in the Morea, and
entrenched themselves in Livadia. To prevent the
desolation of the country, and to treat them with
moderation, I sent several flags of truce to them,
who summoned them, to avoid the impending mis-
fortune, and declared to them that, if they would
submit, they might expect security and pardon of
what had passed from the Sublime Porte.
ig Without paying the slightest attention to this
generous offer, the Insurgents agreed together that
they would lam suffer themselves to be considered as
Rajas for the future, and began a fire of cannon and
musketry from the fort and entrenchments.
" Early in the morning the army drew up in three
lines and began the battle. Victory declared for the
Musselmans, and the greater part of the Insurgents
were cut to pieces. Of those who remained about
1000 escaped into the fort, and 1500 retreated with
. their arms into the houses. One or two of these

houses were set on fire to make room for the van of
the army, and if necessary, to storm the place. A
high wind suddenly arising, spread the flames ; the
Insurgents who had fled into the houses, were the
victims, and almost the half of the large and hand-
some buildings were consumed ; and it was with dif-
ficulty that those lying on the top of the mountain
I were saved. As the fire caught the house in which
I myself was, I was obliged to remove to another.
" On the day of my arrival before Livadia, a cer •
tain Captain Dissuvo had left the city, and collected
a band of rebels a mile and a half off. It was there-
fore necessary to :take measures for hindering them
from coming to the aid of the Insurgents shut up in
the fort. For this purpose I caused the village to be
attacked with 2,000 men. The enemy was entirely
defeated: 1.50 dead and as many wounded remained
on the field. When the enemy shut up if the fort
saw that there was no deliverance for them, they
threw themselves in despair from the ramparts some
were killed, others dreadfully mutilated : those that
were still in the fortress begged for mercy for them.
selves, their wives, and children, and it was granted
them.

4, In this engagement there have perished in all
above 3000 of the enemy, partly by the sword and
partly by the flames. As the Koran says, 6 Whenl
thou bast gained a victory over thy enemy, thou
shalt pardon him, in order to testify thy gratitude'—
the remainder of the Insurgents could reckon on the
magnanimity and mildness of the Sublime Porte,
which was, in fact, shewn towards them, when they
declared their submission, and begged permission to
'return to their houses. A Buluk-Baschi was ordered
for this purpose, with a detachment of troops, to re-
ceive them in the Castle, and to conduct them back
to their dwellings. This was done, in solemn pro-
cession, amidst the acclamations of the conquerors,
carrying before them the standards taken from the
rebels."

Ibrahim Pacha, of Brussa, is still encamped near
Bujukdere, on the Bosphorus; he has received fresh
reinforcements of troops from Asia. One of the first
Officers of this Pacha has been lately promoted, and
has also received the horse-tails. They have been also
restored to two other Pachas who were lately de-
posed : one of them received the Government of Can-
dia, with orders to restore tranquillity in that island.
The Installation of the Kadiushens of Romelia and
Anatolia took place at Constantinople, in the begin-
ning of August. Sikdi Effendi obtained the first of
these places, and Behiet Effendi, formerly the Sul-
tan's Physician, the second.
Among the most remarkable works of the late
days is the execution of Veli Pacha and Monitar Pa-
cha, the two elder sons of Ali Dependeli, Pacha of
Jusiinina. The first was in exile at Kutahie, and the
second at Kaissarije. A Greek, disguised as a Der-
vise, served them as a spy ; he was arrested at Con-
stantinople, and the correspondence found ou him
betrayed the secret of the sons of the tyrant of Epirus.
The Royal French frigate the Lily has brought to
Smyrna Rear-Admiral Halgan ; he immediately
hoisted his flag on board La Guerriere.
The events which most European Journals have
announced with so much confidence, such as the par-
ticipation of the Jews in the dreadful excesses com-
mitted on the dead body of the Patriarch, the viola-
tion of 150 Greek virgins in the Bazaars, and so many
other reports, are wholly unknown in Constantinople,
and absolutely fictions, originating in other countries.
The heads of the Jewish community at Constan-
tinople have even taken public steps to refute the re-
ports relative to their nation, since the well-known
affair at Odessa too well justifies their apprehension
of similar re-actions in other places.
The plague has made no farther progress at Smyrna.
In the capital no symptoms of it bad yet appeared.

WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA.

Troops of the dispersed insurgents still harbour

in the recesses of the mountains of Moldavia, and are
very dangerous to the tranquillity of the Province.

One of these troops appeared on the 19th, in the
evening, quite unexpectedly, before the town of
Nyamz, in which there was a Turkish garrison of 25
men, surrounded the town, and set it on fire in three
places. The Turkish garrison, and then all the Jew-
' ish inhabitants, threw themselves into the Church of
St. John, which, however, was soon set on fire by
the Insurgents on all sides, and was still burning at
the departure of the Messenger, who was a witness
to the horrible scene. A corps of the Turkish army
was expected from Jassy, which is destined to put an
end to the farther incursions and marauding of these
remains of the Hetarists in that province.

A Mail arrived this forenoon from Holland, with
Papers to the 12th instant. The following ankles
from Brody are quite at variance with the Augsburg
accounts which we published yesterday, respecting
the movement of the Russian forces :
