from Mr.. Stratford Canning had been re-

given to understand that negotiations were
still going on between the Allied Powers
and the Porte. At that time all was quiet
there, and the gloomy forebodiDgs of those
who had dreaded the massacre of the
Francs at Pera, had been very happily re-
lieved by the event. From the latter we

merchants and the Franks, in case the Mus

himself at the head of the army. Troops
and ammunition have been sent to Sllistria
