Smyrna and nj. de Ribeauspierre en-
barked for Odessa. The precise destina-
ton of the French Minister is not stated.
Some accounts say he had embarked for
Ioulon. Private information from Con-
stantlnople, states, that in their mild at
tention to the Allied Ministers, the Tur-
kish Government exhibited all the Chris
tan virtues and that the Grand Seignior
expressed his willingness to grant an ar
mistice to the Greeks; but was answered
by Mr.. Canning for the Allies, that their
orders were to insist on the entire condi-
lions ofthe treaty of London.
PREPARATION FOR WAR. All the ac-
counts from Turkey which had reached
Paris and London, concur in stating that
every disposition for the commencement
OF actual hostilities, was indicated by the
Ottoman Government and it was the
generally received opinion at Paris, that
the Ruseiosr army WIN immediately eroes-
the Pruth. Yet the letters from Bucha-
rest, (Wallachia) so late as the 18th Dec.
say that the Russian council was still
there, and no preparations for his depar-
ture were spoken Of On the other hand,
in letter dated Jassy, Dec. is, it is con-
Itidently stated, that SO soon as Count Witt
gensteln shall have received positive in
formation Of M, Ribeauspierre's arrival at
Odessa, he will Immediately pass the from
tiers without waiting for orders from St.
Petersburg; from which, as well as from
what has already transpired respecting the
movements ofthe Russian Army along the
Pruth, it is quite manifest that the COM
manders are invested with full discretion
airy powers to advance, even to the plant
ing of their eagles on the ruins of the
mosque of st. Sophia, on the first iustifa-
BILE pretext. An interesting letter from
Warsaw, of Dec. 20, which will be found
below, states that the grand Polish Army
OF AZ, 900 men had been put in motion to
Join Count Wittgenstein. But of this we
are somewhat doubtful, as the regular ad-
vices from the Polish Capital to the 18th
Dec. do not prepare us for any immediate
movement of the kind. The London
Globe, moreover, says" These flying
rumors deserve but little attention. We
believe the entrance of the Russian troops
is quite unnecessary to the settlement of
Greece; and, therefore, that it will not
take place." And we learn from St. Pc
tersburg, that the Emperor has directed
Count Nesselrode to declare to foreign
courts by circular note, how his Majesty
considered the events at Navarino, and
that he must still more than ever insist on
the execution of the convention of the
9th of July, 1927. His Majesty, it is
said, repeats, in this note, that, faithful
tn his nri,,c;,,les-- he be--.,1 -.;e.,.4 &c
grandlzement, but is resolved to employ
| all the means in his power for the strict
execution of that convention for the main
tenance of the general peace.
1t was reported at Warsaw, that the
Emperor was soon to leave st. Peters
burg, and go to the army. The persons
who are to accompany his Majesty are
even named. They are Generals Die
bitsch, Woronzow, Benkendorff I, and
| Neidhardt.
AUSTRIA. The principal article in the
English papers is the authorized vindica-
ton of the Austrian Cabinet, from the
lmputations cast upon it for months past
by the English and French press, in re-
gard to the fruitless negotiations with the
Porte for the paci6cation of Greece
The tone of the note addressed by the
Austrian Internuncio to the Porte is calm,
digniGed and impartial. We think it is a
strong justification of the good faith of
Austria. 1t is an extraordinary feature
in the Austrian note, that one of the pre-
sent Allied Powers, the Court of France,
is not once mentioned or alluded to in it
the Cabinets of St. Petersburgh and of
London" being those alone which had at
that time communicated to the Court of
Vienna their views for the paciication of
4 Greece.
/ GREECE. The report was prevalent at
Corfu, on the 4th of December, that the
| fortress of Patrass has fallen into the
hands Of the Greeks. The Turks hav-
ing learned the catastrophe of Navarino,
fastened to capitulate with Gen. Church,
on condirion that they should be allowed
to march out with all the honors of war.
They dreaded that want of provisions
would, ere long, oblige them to surrender
at discretion.
RUMoR. We have received informa-
ton, (says the N. Y. Merchants Tele-
graph, Feb. 81 from source upon which
we have the most implicit reliance, that
