We learn from Sm)rna t: at M. de ft;gny, irritated
by the events at Scio, has rent two 1 f his ships to 'cause
the armistice to.be recognized ; and the accounts from
Tchesme say, that f.,r some days past there had been no
more fighting in that Island. Admiral de Itieuy ins
tended to go himself to Selo, with Commodore Hamil-
ton, to re establish order, and to satisfaction tobe
gibed to the Consulates which have suffered by the et-
cusses of the Greeks.
A vessel which has this moment arrived from Zante,
.in fifteen days, brings the la ws that Lard Cochrane is
cruising with the frigate arol the steam boat, off the
coast of 111aina, in order to detain the misticoes of the
pirates, and that Ibrahim traverses the Peloponnesus
,with his army.
ST. PETERSBURGH, Dec. 14.
General Paskewitsch has just scot word to the Em-
peror, that peace with Persia had been finally concluded.
We do not yet know upon what conditions; but it •is
probable that the General had instructions to.stipulate
for an augmentation of territory, such as may secure
Russia in future from the irruptions of the Persian
tribes. If Persia pay dearly for the ezpereses of the
sear, it has only itself to blame. It is said that .altahme

TROM THE JOURNAL DES DEBATE.
The Ausfriau Observer of the 24th December enters
into some observations on the various cuticles published
,in the London Journals telative to the conduct of the
Austrian Cabinet at Constantinople.
" The Imperial Court," says this Joienal, " is vet in
the habit, as is well known, of being influenced in its
political measures by the polemics of the public Jour-
nals. Still, in a matter of to much inspOttanet. k Crsls
judged it expedient to publish openly the reaLsrate.r'f

give pub:itity to the following Note, dated four months
before the Treaty ni the 6.h of July :
HuTi OF TUA-4141JSTR/AN INTERSUNCIO AT THVOTTO.
MAN POETS DATED MARCH Itt, 18V.
" Tim Sabliswe Porte has so frecpiently d ne justice
to the sincerity and the uniform sentiments of the Couit
of Austria, that it would be super flu :us to renew the
assurance of them. As a natural consequence of these
sentiments, of which his Majesty has given proofs to
the Grand Seignor on every occ.c.ion, the undersigned
has received instructions to call the roost ei ious atten-
tion of the Porte to an object immedia ely connected
with the dearest interests of the Empire, and which for
many years has unceasingly occupied the thoughts of
the Emperor.
" The undersigned had the honour, twenty months
back, to explain to the Ottoman Ministry those princi-
ples which have not permitted his Imperial Maje ty to
view with indifference the indefinite prolonga,ion of the
troubles which agitate a part of European Turkey. He
upon that occasion developed the powerful motives
which im; osed it as a duty on the Porte is seek the
-most efficacious m otos of putting a period to these
troubles, and of speedily establistiog a solid ael:slitt•
able peace in the insurgent provinces.
" The same reasons which then influenced his Elope.
rial Majesty, and the same coloade:ati ns then submit-
ted to the Porte, exist still, not only in all u:eir former
vigour, but they hive so vastly irscea id in.impart-
ance, that the Im,ooial C t could no longer preserve
the silence which hitherto it has imposed ti itself.
" The Emperor, therefore, once more raise,nr, voice
with that deep feelaro, whico le ids him to the perk,•
mance of a duty tendered vatted by the interest of his
people, and not less so by his a is:tes for the preserea•
tion of a neighbouring and friendll Empire.
" This pacification, the objet of the most ardent and
constant wishes of Austria, is demanded by the true in-
terests of the Porte itself, by those cif Europe in g. neral,
and in fine, by the interest of Altai ia jai. particular.
4. When the Undersigned, by' the express order of 1 is
Court, and in concert with the Ministers a f the other
Powers, fist started this question, the Sublime Porte
made answer that his Highness the Sultan was still dis-
posed to pardon such of his misled subjects as would

inburgents returned with sincerity to their duty ? Have
they been subjected by force of arms? Does not the
Insurrection still subsist in full bigots: ? Can the Ot-
tomans consider them,elves as peaceful masters cf the
country when the inhabitants of those very iitistticts in
w:rich the insurrection was, for a 'inomeni; put down,
have again risen in arms? What the Porte could not
effect, in the course of to arly six years, it is highly, im-
probable that it will attain by means which, evidently,
enfeeble it from year to year. It could not pethips
achieve it, even were Foreign Pontos to remain uncon-
cerned spectators of the contest, and it must be still less
capable of doing so from the momert any one of these
Powers made such declarations as they have fpade.

itself master of the places now in possession of tlie in-
surgents, could this be brought about other Wise than
