lear Aga, ithe minister Of The imperial pal,
ace'} the hive vizers met, who are the first per-
sonages OF the Divan. The Grand Seignor
being also present, the ministers with the
forms and precautions proper to De us

OF state, seized this moment to supplicate his
highness 10 terminate by some arrangement,
'he- Greek war; and 10 listen to the proposi-
lloas Ut his illus,rious allies. The answer that
lhey received from the Sultan. appeared ~ he
favorable. II is said that since then, the Porte
has desired an explanation Of the treaty, and
that ne has asked this question through the
Intervention of the Refs Effendi. Do the am
bassadors OF toe three Powers consider them
selves al peace with the Porte? He was an
swered that the mediation had only peace Cor
It's object and that their propositions and mea-
sures only tended to restore it. 1t is also said,
that there exists Hat, sheriF (imperal auto.
graph decree) of the Sultan, addre TO the
Divan in which he expresses his own opinion
on the present ~Hars, and enters into considc-
rations which give reason for the hope, that
when ne is assured o! the consequences Of the
demands Of these powers, it will be possible 10
bring him to conclude defnitive arrangement.

not precisely participated in by the Divan, the

which the writer proposes, is al least worthy OF
consideration ard Of a trial:

an exDt riment that lmadr with success in Got
ten5urgh, in Sweden | was passenger IN a
packet, bound to England, that was frozen M,
and while one hundred men were saving her
out, | took tin canister, containing about a
pound oil powder, and introduced into the ne x
a tin pipe, which also filed with powder, and
fastened 10 it pole about feet long. The
ice was about p feet thick, into which, cut
hole, and introduced The flask. After pushing
it under the ice to the end of the tube, placed
match into it, and when i, exploded, 1t broke
up into small pieces half an acre Of ice
"Mv impre sson is, that if the canal is fro
zen, one two or six inches, so that ii is free u
holes and tight in the sides, that gill Of pow
der, placed every ten,ffty or one hundred yards
would completely break it up, so that boat

am OF opinion that bottles or tubes, suitable
for this purpose, could be blown Tor a tritlina
