Extract OF private letter of the 4th ult. from
antinople:-"Sevcral years ago, the United
States of America cndeavourei to conclude trea-
ty of commerce with the Porte, upon the principle
OF reciprocal advaNtages. This was opposed by
England and the Sultan, yielding to the influence
OF us ally, rejected the proposition. Now, however,
that difference has arisen between n. England and
the Porte the latter being DESTROYS of forming an
alliance with great maritime power, has made
ovcrtures TO the American Agent Richards, who is
at this moment in Constantnople; but the powers
with which that gentleman il invested do not au-
thorise him TO treat upon the subject, notwith-
standing the Porte offers America great CONNER
ciai advantages, upon condition that, in the c.
vent OF war with the European Powers, the U.
States will afford efficient succour, at least sup
ply some armed vessels, for which the Porte pro-
misses to pay subUides. Mr.. Richards, however, is
availing himself of these overturcs TO further the
object OF his mission, namely, to obtain commercial
privileges for his nation. He has made COM
munication ofthe Porte's disposition to the American
consul, and also TO the Government of the United
States"
