been put in force by order Of the Porte, in
tho various provinces of Turkey, have been
directed Against rebels, withous any ;ntsntou
Of attacking the Christian Religion.
90. That the execution of the Geek Pat.
riarch, far from being an assassination Of the
Chief of the Greek Csurch, can only be re-.
garded as the just punishment Of traitor
With respect to tho outrage offered to his
remains, it can only be the subject of accuse.
ton against the fanatical populace. It gave
great regret TO the Porte.
3. That, doubtless, Just distinction
ought to have been made between the guilty

which have taken place, but in civil COM
motions. it happens too often that guilty ex-
cesses cannot be prevented.
g. 4. That the Porte engages to recon.

Extract Of q letter from Paris.
& You are no doubt aware that the object
Of Lord Wellington's visit 10 Paris was for
the express purpose of urging the French
government iojoin us in league, offensive
and defensive, for promptly opposing the
projects o. Alexander. You are aware of
his having had conferences with most OF
the foreign ministers at Paris; his interviews
with the King are said u have been of the
most interesting description. My informan,
asserts that we have offered to restore the
old limits Of France to ,he Rhine, Savoy, the
Isle Of France, aud one OF TWO of the West
ndla colonies, on condition that an army
should bs put in motion towards Austria,
while our military forces should cooperate in
The Baltic and Mediterranean. Louis is said
to have entered into the project, and referred
