VAR NEWS.

BY the ship Jasper, Capt. Croker,
from Liverpool, papers TO the 9th ult.
have been received. Turkey has re-
jected the ultimatum of Russia, re-
preached, and bid defiance to her. The
hostile appearance of the last news had
depressed the price of stocks in Vienna,
Paris and London. The spirit of the
Porte was supposed to have been raised
to its late tone by the success over the
Pacha of Janina. WAR APPEARS
NEARLY CERTAIN.

6 Accounts from ConstaniinopIe are
to the 9th ulg The Grand Divan, con-
voked to deliberate on the communica-
tons Of Russia, have UNANIMOUSLY
RESOLVED 'sThat the propositions
contained III the Russian Ultimatum
were of nature which never could be
accepted" In consequence, the Refs
Effendi wentto take the orders of the
Sultan on the mode in which notifca-
ton shouldbe made TO the ambassadors
of Englandand Austria of the inutility of
continuing TO importune His Highness
with PROPOSITIONS which the dignitaries
of the expire and the monarch himself
deemed Inadmissible.n
Repeited interviews took place be-
tween Lord Strangford and the Refs
Effandi which terminated abruptly !;
and, OF the Sd ult a note was delivered
to the English and Austrian Ambassadors,
of which the following has been given
as the substance -
:" The Diyan witnesses with pleas
ure the efforts which its friends, the
Ambassadors of England and the Aus
trian lnternuncio, make to adjust the
differences which have arisen between
the Porte and the Gar; but the Divan
views as Useless TO the proposed object,
all further discussion of the propositions
contained in the Russian ultimatum-
propositions which are incompatible
with the Sovereignty of His Highness.
SIT would be desirable that the
above mentioned Ambassadors would
make known to their Courts, the SUBJ
jectso of complaint which the Porte has
against the Muscovites, viz That the
Russian Consuls, chosen from the
Greek nation, have openly taken part
in the plots which have been concerted
at Smyrna, and in. the Isles of the
Archipelago, to insurrectionize the
RaJahs,; that Russian ship, ladened
with arms and ammunition, has been
seized in the Gulf of Smyrna, when on

ed on the Publick Golfers, put 10 death
the Mussalmen merchants established in
Wallachis, and posted proclamations,
exciting the subjects of the Porte 10 in
surrec:Ion, and promising them the aid
OF Russia; that although Russia disa-
vowed this, yet Suzzo, after having
opened the gates Of Jassy to Ypsilanti,
and after having decapitated several
Turks who resided there, fled to Rus.

and supplied with money, as were also
other Greek refugees while the EN-
perour Of Austria, faithful to treaties
caused those to be arrested who fled
into his Dominions, and even confined
Ypsilanti in State Prison.
From these facts, the Courts of
England and Austria will judge whether
it is Russia or Turkey which has pro-
voked war.
"The Porte demanded no satisfaction
whatever for these hostile circumyen-
tons on the part of Russia, the result
of which only disturbed the peace of
the Ottoman Empire for an instant.
s But the Porte will not suffer that a
foreign Court, known supporter of all
the rebellious against the authority of
His Highness, should come and inter
fere in the domestick affairs OF the
Empire.
"If some Christian Temple has been
unlawfnlB demolished, it shall be re-
stored after tranquility shall have been
completely re-established.
