RUSSIA AND TURKEY
In the London Courier of the lltb, there
is letter from Constantinoplc received at
LIoyd's. dated as far back as June the
10th, 10 which II was stated that despatch
es had been received from Odessa, " of a
highly satisfactory nature" and that the
evacuation of the provinces is gradually
taking place, and it is expected the Prin-
ces will be named soon after the Byram :"
A Vienna article, from the French papers,
dated June 22, adds, eve expect de-
claralon from the Emperor of Russia, By
which he will entirely detach himself from
the Geek cause" From the date of
these articles it seems pretty evident that
the pacific runors which they contain, are
a mere repetition of statements. which
were made previous to the recent massa.
cres of the Turks having come to the
knowledge of. the Russian Cabinet
All accounts agree in stating that since
these horrible occurrences had transpired,
the views of Alexander had undergone
an entire change as TO the Greeks. 10 the
Liverpool Mercury of 18th July, (tbe la
test paper received) it is stated that let
tiers from Odessa positively affirm, "that
Russia has retractsd her demand That Wal.
lachia and Moldava should be entirely e.
vacuated, in consequence of a represen.
tation made by the Divsn, that if all the
Ottoman troops were Withdrawn, new in.
surrections would break out in those prn-
cipalities. Advices from Bucharest da-
ted the 9th ult. contained in these Jour-
nails, are con6rmatory of the above intel.
:igence. They state that not only has the
retrograde march OF the Turkish troops
been stayed; but that the Ra)a Pscha had
caused TO be proclaimed in all public pla.
ces that Wallachia should continue to be
occupied by an armed force
THE GREEKS.
The hostile fleets of Greece and Tur.
key, are stated to have been in statu quo
when the last advices came away. 1t was
thought that the Capt. Pacha was only
waiting the arrival of reinforcement
from Egypt, to proceed in attacking the
Greek islands, and reducing them to the
same condition as Scio. We trust, how.
ever, that the presence OF the patriot fleet,
will BE sufficient to prevent the carrying
Of this sanguiHary measure into effect.
dispatches bad been received at Trieste
from Sir Robert Maitland, giving an &C
count OF battle Of three days continu-
ante, which had been fought between the
Turks and Suliots, in which the followers
OF Mahomet were defeated with conside
rable loss. Six hundred Musselmen. a..
mong whom were SO eminent TURKS, were
taken prisoners; and the ransom OF the
latter fixed at 300 purses. Such perseye-
rance and bravery, deserves better tate
than that which the "legitimates" of Eu-
rope seemdlsposed to assign 10 the Greek
patriots.

EXTRACT TO THE EDITOR, DATED

The Russian decree concerning the trade
IN the northern Pacific ocean will be com
munlcated at full length to congress, under
stand, in day or two. The degree of fifN-
first north, TO which the line of inhibition is
limited, from Behring's Streights, does not
exclude any of our actual American settle
ments on the shores Of the Pacific. But in
that scope, TO the degree offorty- ffthnorth. on
the Siberian coast, TO which If is. | believe.
extended, from Behring's Streights, are includ-
ed all the best islands and countries for the
supplies OF those furs which bring the highest
prices 10 the Chinese market. The enperor
of Russia issued the edct under the pretext
of prohibiting smuggling and Illicit trade but
his real object is, unquestiouably to procure
To the Russian American fur company the ex-
elusive trade in the valuable furs in question.
The most offensive part Of the decree is its
violation of maritime law, by preventing
foreign vessels from approaching within one
hundred Italian miles of the possessions with
IN the line the emperor has drawn. The
maritime nations will net submit TO this dsr
ing and outrageous Russian innovation. There
are exceptions for vessels in distress. and for
vessels OF discovery, provided the latter are
furnished with the passport Of the Russian mi
MISTER of marine. Even in these cases of ex
ception, the restrictions are very rigid and the
penalties IN all cases severe. Offending YES
sells which may be captured are to be taken
into Awatckka Bay, to the port of St. Peter
and st. Paul. for adjudication. The detail Of
the edict has been drawn up with great care,
