From the London Courier, Sept. 90.


Our negotiations with the Porte are drawing to-
wards close land the next advices from Constantine
pie will apprse either THAI the Sultan has receded
from his deterni nation refuse all interference, or
that the allied powers have given the necessary in
sructions for carrying INTO effect the treaty OF the 9TH
of July.
We think .he latter more likely, nasmuch as the
period fixed for receiving the reply of the Ottoman Go
vernment had expired, when the last messenger left
Consantinopie, and the answer then given was firm
and peremptOy refusal to accept the proered media
ton 1t is hardly to be supposed that the Ambassadors
of Eng and France and Russia, would afterwards at
tempt reopen the negotiations though as the great
object ofther Governments is to bring about an AMIGA
BILE angemen should the Sultan when he found them
preparing quit his capital, make any such over
lures HIMSELF they would course declare their read
mess to receive them.
There is circumstance from which it may be in
erred, think that there existed urgent cause
for promptitude and vigor. BY the additional and Sc
cret article the treaty the 9th july it is SIT pulaed
that, if the Porte do not within month"; accepttke
proposed mediation, then the High contracting parties
will adopt such measures as in their wisdom may be
deemed necessary to attain the desired end. Instead
of month, however, only fifteen days were allowed;
and whatever the reasons for thus contracting
the time originally contemplated, it is obvious they
would operate against allowing any artifce ofTurkish
diplomacy to succeed in nerposing further delay On
tire third, the latest, the fourth instant, therefore,
either Mr.. Stratford Canning, and the Ambassadors of
France and Russia had quilted COnsantfhople,o or the
Porte had stopped their departure by yielding to their
demands.
In another part Of paper will be found the note
addressed by the ambassadors to the Refs Efendi,
the 10Th ult. 1t was written in French, and merey,it
will be seen emhodes the sentiments expressed in the
preamble to the treaty, and recommends the course
laid down in the several articles of that treaty. The
concluding paragraph is decided and perempory. At
requiring of the Divan clearly to make known its
intentions within the space of fifteen days. it thus pro-
ceeds:
THE undersigned Aatter themselves that it will be
conformable TO the wish of the Allied Courts but it
is their duty not to conceal from the Refs Efendi that
new refusal, evasire or insufficient anstcer erem
total silence the part of his government will place
the Allied Courts under the imperious necessity of
occurring to such measures they shall judge most
ethcacious for putting end state of things,
which is become incompatible even with the true in
Of the Sublime Porte, with the security of
merce in general, and with the perfect tranquility of
Europe"
Ifthe question are now discussing related to any
other European government than that of Turkey, we
should say the die was cast for itwoud be fairly pre-
sumable that decision had been deliberately adopted.
from which every feeling of national dignity and honor
forbade it recede. But when We consider what this
power is-how little it is influenced by considerations
which operate upon other States, and how utterly inca
pable it is of successfully opposing itself to the united
power Of the three monarches with whom 1t is issue,
hardly persuade ourselves 1t would have gone
even so far as it has, ftGaculated only upon it's own
strength and resources. A few days however, will
able to judge more accurately of the actual state of
this question.
