We regret to state that the letters by the
Turkey mail of the 26th November confirm
the intelligence great excuses having been
committed in Constantinoplc, which, in several
instances, ended in the murder Of Christians.
These eXcesses are ascribed entirely to the
sailors landed from the Turkish fleet arrived
from the Archipelago. They brought so Greek
vessels IN as prizes, and on passing Seraglio
foint, these barbarians hung each tn the ward

ry the crews were afterwards allowed to go
on shore, where they were guilty of the great

LutZow, the Austrian minister, with the Tur-

strongly In favour ofthe Russian ulfimatum.
and tndeavoured to induce the Porte to adopt
pacific resolutions. The Refs Effendi replied
that the Porte would not consent To the eva
cuaiion of Modavia and Nallachia, except on
the following conditions -
"ihe Courts of Austria, France, and Eng
ianu shall guarantee that, after the evacuation,
those two pnncipalIties shall not be occupied

established. and all the Greeks shall have laid
down their arms"

part of the Turkish Ministers, the Refs Eff
iendi referred to the orders of the Sultan.
The Count asked whether the Porte were
determined on peace or war? The Refs Eff.
iendi excused himself from answering that
question, as the powers with which he was
invested did not go to that length besides,
added he, the Sultan will do whatever he
pleases and 90 millions of Mussulmans, with
the sword in one hand and the Koran in the
other, will know how TO defend their rights
against the Christians

effort, and presented memorial, in which he
describes the dangers to which the Sultan is
