BUCHAREST. Nov. 17.

The extraordinary military contribution ordered by
the Porte for the fortresses on the Danube, is leviCd by
the authorities in the principalities with great indul-
gence, and it is probable that it never will be wholly
raised.

Only 500 horses and 1000 sheep have yet been do.
livered from this city. In Jassy, we hear, hardly
any steps have been taken to begin collecting it.—
The bond of union between the Hospodars and, the
"Turkish authorities seems to be very lax, and
only the vicinity of a division of some Turkish
troops, and of several thousand irregulars who are en-
camped at Tartukay, between Rudschuk and &Hada,
and might easily be at our gates in four days, makes it
necessary to have some regard to our old relations, but
• which would immed.ately cease on any the smallest
change in the political situation of the Turkish empire•
M. Von Menziacky, who has in•talled the new Russian
Vice Consul at Jassy, is expected here by the end of the
week. Russian travellers daily arrive here from the
other side of the Danube. It is affirmed that there are
among them several engineers, who for some time past
have been travelling in Bulgaria, Burnie, and Mace-
donia ; they all take the road to Mohilew.
We have news from Constantinople to the 12th. At.
,hat time the Ambassadors were expecting an answer
•o t) e r note of the 18th.

M. de Ribeaupierre, who, it is said, would have
persuaded his co,leagues to leave the capital as
soon as possible, is reported to have embarked his
fan,ily. Cunt Guilleminot, on the contrary, is
said to cla his utmost to prevent any precipi-
tAte step, and to be of opinion that they should wait for
new instructions from the:r Courts, before they leave
the Capital. Mr. Canning, it is added, remains merely
pauive.—Algesteilse Zcitusig, Dec. 10.
