EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER._

''4ar..

The situation of our neighbours, the Turks, ea-
cites the most lively attention. The revolutionary
movements of Moldavia and Wallachia happen pre-
cisely at the same moment that the Greeks of the Isle
of Candia refuse to pav the extraordinary tribute
which the Musillim, or Governor of the Isle, had or•
dered to be levied upon them. Albania is far from
being tranquil; the Torzides, from• which tribe the
famous Ali Pacha descends, chew a disposition to
maintain his son Mouctas, in the possession of his h►
reditary domains. The old Ali Pacha himself, by
means of his immense treasures, corrupts, succes-
sively, the Generals who are sent to besiege him.

" The Servians are in negotiation with the Porte,
to demand the extension of the privileges that the
Treaty between Russia and the Ottoman Empire in-
sured to them. The Divan has granted the diminu-
tion of the tribute Karatch, but not the military on-
Cupation of Belgrade. The inhabitants of Bosnia,
though fanatical Mussulmen, have quarrels with
their Pacha respecting the privileges which his troops
arrogate to themselves; their minds are not alien
from the desire of a sort of independence, similar to
that enjoyed by the Servians. To heighten the em-
barrassments, the Porte has imprudently announced
its intention of depriving the powerful Viceroy el
Egypt, of a moiety of his Pachalick. .
" In such a situation it is to be remarked that the
eternal negotiations between the Divan and the Rye
sian Ambassador, relatively to the fortresses of Poti
and Bathoum (in Lower Georgia) are not termi-
nated. Those which had for their object the fixation
of the limits on the side of Moldavia, were concluded
some months ago, and it was not true, as was*
moured, that the Russian army under the orders
the Prince Wittgenstein, is 100,000 strong ; it scarcely
consists of a quarter of that number, and is barely
sufficient force for the ordinary garrison service.
" Some Turks, who fled before the Arnauts and
Wallachians, have arrived at the poAs of the Offices
of the Austrian Customs in the Bannat. As they
dread the infection of the plague, they were not sal-
fered to pass beyond the line of their Offices, Ode
they remain like heaps of merchandise.
P.S. It is at this moment confidently said, the
the insurrection in Wallachil and Moldavia is es-j
tending, and that nearly 30,000 Greeks have enrolled'
themselves under the banners of Prince Ypsihinti.'
Some Russian Officeis, who have followed him, hag
been deprived of their Commissions by the kVA
Government."

Private letters from Tortola, to the 4th of FM'
ary, we lament to say, represent that Island as hoof
of late been very sickly. A great many deaths
htr
taken place within the last two months. The 2,10
from Grenada also state that that Colony was 41
and that great mortality prevailed, particularly am
the white population. His Excellency the Gore
of St. Kitt's had caused the ports of that Ida,' to hi
opened for the impoi union of lumber, for the 511.2.
of six months, in comeciaence of a Petition from 1:7
Proprietors and Merchants, complaining of the log!
ciency of lumber to enable the cultivators to Ito°
with 'their crops.
REVOLUTIONS IN ITALY.—The ACIII and Proi:b?
of the Holy Alliance relative to Italy are most
exposed in a masterly pamphlet, supposed toy
written by one of our great Opposition Peers; ',l;
which is just published in the PAUPHLETEER,I44O:'m
in which Number is inserted M. Beajaimn C
stant's pamphlet on the new Law of Elections
the Chamber of Deputies, which has cam!!! •
much agitation in France—also the Rev. w'

Byron's Letter now in circulation relative
