The Emperor. after the efforts made
in lhe South Of Europe, to crush the
j germs Of discord that had made such a

furious influence on the >ommerce of
Russia in the Levans, by paralysing
the industry OF many provinces of
the Russian empire The Emperor has
undergone immense sacrifices, through
his love Of peace, and his desire of con-

Constantinop!e, lD not sending On EN-
basssdOr to Czernowitz, as announced,
he 10 actuated by considerations of the
| deepest importance. The Turks could
no, fail to consider the presence of an
ambassador as decisive triumph over
the Greeks; and ye', should the strug.
gle continue, what would be tho result?
Ia every case of success on tho part of
the Greeks, the Russian Ambassa-
dor would certainly become an object
of suspicion 30 the Divan; he would be
supposed to hold communication with
it's revol ed subjects, and his situation
would be precisely that of Baron de
Ifogonoff, at the time of the criminal
| enterprise Of the princes Ypsilanti.--
The protestations of this ambassador
were disregarded, and he was Obliged
to quit Constantinople. Should the
Turks be victorious, how could the
Russian ambassador remain to witness
the horrid excuses and eruelties, in
which that bsrbarous nation would Of
course indulgeP His presence would
sanction a caiumpiOus interpretation Of
the sentiments of the Emperor, and &C.
casiou an opinion that it was his inten.
tiun TO replace the Greeks uoder the
yoke Of barbarian despotism, and rank
aahometans with Christians. D. the
other hand, it is essential that those
Powers who have refressed revolu-
ton and narchy in the two PENN
sulas, should not find the cause of the
G reeks strengthened by the accession
of the revolutionists of the countries
where order has been re.establsted. 1t
is only through the prompt co.opera-
ton OF the allies that it will be possible
to prevent a still longer succession Of
evils, and stop the effusion of blood, al
ready sufficiently shed in three cam.
paisns. In all probability. fourth can
not bring more efficient or decisive re-.
suite. The Porte stimulated by the re-.
collection of ancient achievements, OBJ.
stinately re!uses to be sat,sfied with
less than absolute sovereignty; the
Greeks Injured by three years OF resis.
tance and success, are intent on abso-
Lutte independence. The solution OF
the problem must lie between these two
extremes. The Russian Cabinet pro.
poses the following terms of pacltlca-
ton, as just means between exagge
rated and opposing prsteDsions, and
which will insure to the Greeks
guarantees now necessary--to the
Turks useful and positive advantages
in place of q sovereignty liable to disai'
lection and resistance

examples drawn from rsages OF Turkey
