tion with the Porte, to demand The extern
sion of the privileges that the late treaty
between the Russians and the Ottaman
empire insured to them. The Divan has
granted the diminution of the tribute ko-
ratch, but not the military occupation OF
Belgrade. The inhabitants OF Bornla,
though fanatical mussulmen, have quar-
rels with their Pacha respecting the pri-
vileges which his troops arrogate to them
selves; their minds are not alien from the
disuse of a sort of independence, similar
to that enjoyed by the Servians. 10
heighten their endorsements, the Porte
has imprudently announced it's intention
of depriving the powerful vlceroy OF T.
gypt of moiety of his Pachalick.
In such situation, it is to be remark
ed that the eternal negotiation between
the Divan and the Russian Ambassador
relating to the fortresses of Poti and Ba-
thaim, lin lower Georgia,) are not terml-
| mated. Those which had for their object
the fixation of the limits on the side of
| Moldavia, were concluded some months
ago, and it is not true as was rumored,
that the Russian army under the orders
of Prince Wittgenstein, is 100000 strong,
it scarcely consists of quarter of that
number, and it scarcely of sufficient force
for the ordinary garrison service.
Some Turks, who have fled before the
Arnauts and Wallachians, have arrived
at the posts of the officers of the Austri-
an customs in the Bannat. AS they dread
the infection of the plague, they were not
| suffered to pass beyond the line of their
Offices; where they remain like heaps of
merchandise.
P. 8. 1t is at this moment confidently
said, that the instruction in Wallachia
and Moldavia is extending, & that nearly
1000 Greeks have enrolled themselves
under the banners of Prince Ypsilanti.-
Some Russian officers, who have followed
him, have been deprived of their COM
missions by the imperial government.
Turin, april II.
On the information that the rebels, to
the amount of 5000 men, had left Ales-
sandria to advance to Novero, and to en-
deavor to induce the royal troops to de-
sert. Gen Count Babno, passed the Tes-
sine on the night of the 9TH, at the head
of the Austrian troops, and proceed
ed also to Novaro The rebels were post
ed on the high road with their cavalry in
| front, but on the first movement of the
Hulans to charge, the cavalry fled with
such precipitation that they could not be
overtaken. They did not halt until they
reached Turin, leaving their soldiers be-
hind them. Never did more disgrace
full rout dishonor troops. On the 10th
of April the advanced guard of the royal
army entered Turin, and occupied the CT
tadel. The first acts of the revolutionists
were dated 10th of March. The great
movement that was to convulse all the
neighboring states, has therefore lasted
only So days

| We are assured that courier has been
despatched from Laybach to Turin, with
dispatches of high Importance Austria,
it is said, does not wish to oppose repre-
sentative constitution in the kingdom of
Sardinia, provided it will be conceded by

will not recognize the constitution OF Spain

| A concurrence circumstances which,
according to some persons, is mere ef-
feet of chance, while others see in it the
result of political combinations. appears
calculated to increase daily the internal
embarrassments in which the Ottoman
Porte has been entangled for some time.
The war in Albania, which commenced
last Spring is not yet terminated; and al
ready Servia has claimed. some months
since, important privileges,& the demand
was made with degree of confidence
which made it necessary to comply with
it. Perhaps these privileges, most unwil-
lingly conceded, will but half satisfy the
wishes of the inhabitants of that province.
Serious disorders have broken out in the
countries near to Persia, which have re-
quired the employment of very consid-
cradle proportion of the Ottoman forces.
In Arabia the Wechabites have assembled
their hordes and threaten new war. In
these difficult conjunctures, and at mo-
ment when the Porte was, as it were, on
the point of finding itself in urgent need
of the forces under Mahomet Ali, the
Viceroy of Egypt, to oppose them to the
wandering hordes which his son lsmael
