AFT AIRS OF TURKEY.

Intelligence Of very important nature has. |
we understand, baen received i the ho'el Of
me Russian embassy. The Emperors of Rus |
eta and Austria, indignant al the outrsges which
have been perpettsted It Constsnlnople, n the /
lgnominious death &C the Greek Patriarch and |
other heads Of the church. together with the
crueIties committed sgEinst the unfortunate sud
unre,isting Creeks, have, il Is said, determined
10 insist upon such repsr.tion from the Turkish
government as the case will sdm't, and On some
assurance or pledge, as regards the future, that
sinilsr excuses shall not be TePealed. From
that quarter IN which this statement ~ cIrcusA
ted, we find 10 csuse 90 doubt as authority, and
feel. therefore, peculiar pleasure IN the com
raunicsIion of piece Of in diligence OF so much
interest 10 the Christian, and, indeed, % the
whole Of the civilized world. But though tic
main fact appears worthy OF credit, that Russia
snd Austria will exact retribution from the
Porte. we have been able TO collect nothing be-
yond mere rumour of what is 10 be their mod
of proce eiing, or the species of security, they
are likely 20 require. IL has been said that
Russia will demand 20 become the protector Of
the other Greek provinces, as she IS already of
WANschia snd Moldsvia. We Ia a also, lat an
immeds'e cessation Of hostiiHies between the
Greeks and the Turks i 10 be enqured, and
compact formed, between them, which, while
i shall secure the allegiance Of the former,
cre.-Anoiher opinion IS. that he cession OF
Wallschia and Moldsyis will be insisted on Ell
Their 10 Russis, or 60 those powers m conlunc-
ton, in order 20 afford an asylum 10 those
Creeks who decline TO live any longer under
the Turkish laws. At all events. IL Is believed
that The Divsn must listen TO whatever terms
may be proposed. Russis has tn army Of lOO,-
900 men on the frontiers ct Turkey, which
would be powerfully reinforced by the Austrl-
ans I; and, weakened as she Is by the efforts 10
suppress the Greek insurrection, has alter
native but submission, foreign invasion, 10
which there would exist no chance OF reslstsnce.
Should this nomentous contest sctusliy take
place, the eyes of all Europe will be anxiousy
liked 10 the result.
