! Austrian Ambassadors al Constantinople
have been countcncted by the advocates
for war, which nov seems inevitable be-
tween Russia and Turkey, though per-
haps no very acti,e operations may take
place until The spling.
| augsburg, Dec. 8.
The letters which we received to day
from Vienna, speak with much amblgul-
ty OF the late dispatches which the Au-
strian Cabinet has received from Baron
Lebezeltein, its Ambassador at St. Pc
tcrsburg. 1t is no longer asserted at
| Vienna, with the same degree oil conn.,
dence, that the affairs of Turkey will be
arranged in satisfactory manner. 1t
seems that the influence of the Ministers
of England and Austria has been coun-
teracted at Constantinople, by the advo-
Gates of war. Further intelligence IS I'M
patiently expected.
Letters from St. Petersburg state that
a Russian agent, charged with an extra
ordinary mission, has been sent to the
Schah Of Persia. There is no doubt that
most interesting negotiations are on foot
between the two powers, ana that they
will have an important influence on the
destiny ofthe Ottoman Empire, and per-
haps, on the future relations OF Russia
with the East Indies. \
Paris, Dec. 90.
Letters have been received from Con-
stantinople of the 18th Novem ber. AT
that period strng apprehensions had
succeeded a few days of apparent tran
guilty. The Efforts of the Diyan could
no longer RESTRAIN the Janisaries, who,
with the Grand yizier at their head, had
sworn TO extermnate all in6dels. The
publication of irman, announcing that
the Schah of Persia had declared war
against Turkey, had produced great
sensation among the Turks.
Frankfort, Dec. IA.
Letters received here from CONSTANT
noplc, state the taking Of Bagdad by the
Pcrsians the Turkish garrison, and the

10 the sword, The christians alone, II IS
said, were spared, in conformity with a
manifesto oil son of the Schah.

Paris dates to the goth December,
mentions conspiracy agains, the French
government, which had been detected at
oanmar, town in the department of

18Th Dec. the causes of which were not
well ascertained Five persons lost their |
lives, and much damage was otherwise
sustained. The plot had been some
weeks in preparation. The intention

made their appearance, all their schemes
were batllcd, and number OF the prlncl-
pal conspira,ors arrested.
