 CTS should be depOFted, than remain at the risk of being butchered in cold blood. Rus sia is not insensible tO these proceedings Wittgenstein is concentrating his force, and the Polish army, the elite of the Russian l troops, is in marCh t'e Pruth. i Poland now forms the van of Russia; her national existence Has seen recognized: she has her own laws, her own languages, and her territory free from the charge of other troops she has obtained great dimuntiOn of her impOsts, and her revenue is applied to the improvement Ofher own soil, and the re- paratiOn of her sufferings; thus some slow a. tenement is made for the horrors of Prague the massacres of SuwarrOw. and the tyranny of Repnin. The Turk is the ancient enemy of F. and, and the Bt This will feel the Iances of the Uhlars. Turkey may remain passive on the northern frontier, and try to over whelm Greece but will Russia look on in apathy? If Sultan Mahmoud imagInes that he can choose the field of combat, he will find himself mistaken. The Russians will mask the fOrtresses on the Danube, and march di- rectly on the capita,and Mahmoud may have to fight for empire and existence under the walls of COnstantinOple. Nor will the Otto man be suffered to make sIaughter-house of Greece, now that our troops are about to be
 
 be surprised if,with the conseat of our Allies, British force to the same amount was sent to clear the Morea fany remnant of the bar barians, and secure Attica and the Peopon- nessus against attack. The policy ofsuch an expedition must, however, be governed by circumstances.
 London, Feb. 24. 1 Fhe accounts from St.Petersburgh are to { the S0th ut. The news of the Duke of Vel l. gon having orders to form Ministry, had ] reached St. Petersburgh, and had created ] great sensation.
 l French papers to the 21st inst. reached us 1 ny express. Their contents confirm all that had been announced respecting the sudden change in the policy and conduct of the Porte; the punishment of the British. French, and Russian subjects. and the appeal to the re l glous fanaticlsm of the people. These mea- 1 sures had been agreed on immediately after the battle of Navarin, but had been suspend ed in consequence of the active negotiations which followed that event. They have now been adopted, we are told, "on account of 1 the departure ofthe Ambassadors from Con stantinope." In vain did the ministers of the Neutral Powers interfere; even the Austrian lnternuncio was cavalierIy told '.that the Porte would have it so." The anger of the Sultan extended itself to the Musselmen for 1t was said that Tahir Pacha, ,wbO had fought at Navarin, had been beheaded.
 l Public attention seems particularly direct ed to ademand, said to have been madeby the Russian Government. for a port in the Med itrrranean. The British Government, it ap- pears, hesitate, and some persons seem to think it not improbable that the former may take forcible possession of Milo, an island ! ,oA horb e.. AL otthe Czar. Another topic of discussion is, the breach of the Treaty of Ackrrman,by the Porte, having sent away the AT nenian resi- dents at Constantinople, who are expressly protected by the terms of that treaty ,and this act is one. it is considered. that entirely ab- { sO,ves the Emperor Nicholas from the treaty ot the 5th of July, and out of this position of atfAirs new point of fear for the preserya- ton of the peace in the East is entertained. London DO. l From the Ga-ehe q France, dated Feb. 2l. PARIS, Feb. 20. ! We receive the following accounts from ( Constantinople, dated Jan, 1l:-
 "A that has passed for this last fortnight, proves that. the departure of the Ambassa- dors has made the Dnan return to the mea- sures resolved upon in the grand meeting of the 7th December. after the news of the bat tie of Navavin, which solutions have only 1 been suspended sic, ,ha; time. Each new measure adopted by the government, is much more vigorous than the preceding one.
 On the Sd, the Patriarch of the Armeni- an Catholics being summoned to the Porte, he was asked if he could answer for the main tenance of tranquility among the individuals of his communior. As he could only do SO to certain point, orders were given to send all the Arme ian Catholics to Asia, which was done immediately.
 A still more rigorous measure has been executed against the French, English, and Russian subjects who could not account for their means of subsistence, and who, to the number of 800 or 1000. have been obliged to quit the capital The e nonstranccs of the envoy of the Netherlands on the subject were useless the Refs Effendi sent his drogomans to the director of the customs, who cooly told them that their interference would be of no use, because at no very distant time all the subjects of those three powers would be expelled by force. It may be conceived what consternation this declaration has cau- sed.
