as The least evil bul his suffering them TO depart.
bespeaks more obs,inacy and less cunning than wc
were willing to give him credit tor. We are now
more than ever convinced of the truth Of an o6ser-
yation made by one Of the plomatlsts-''that no
thing but good drubbing would bring him to his
Senses The affair at Scio has either been alto
geher fabricated, or else extremely exaggerated.
10 the news from Constantinope already given,
we add the following details, furnished by the Augs
burg Gazette, in letter, dated Dec. 8, in the
ning:-
Messrs. Guilleminot and Stratford Canning had
quilted the Porte, at two O'Clock the afternoon
and at five they were out of sight The north wind
still detained NJ. de Ribeauperre, at the entrance
of the canal. Before they left their hotels, the
Ambassadors of the Three Courts had repeatedly
asked for their passports. The Reis Efendi caus-
ed them to be answered, that the Porte would make
no difficulty in delivering Frmans to them if they
could shew orders from their Courts for the step
they going to take, otherwise it must be igno-
rant of their departure, though it did not intend to
throw any obstacle in the way of it.
However, orders given underhand, to
pect the vessels of the Ambassadors. 1t had not
ranspred that they met with any difficulty M de
Ribeaupierre, il is said, gave his two Colleagues,
before his departure, the that if the Porte
respected in its full extent the Convention of Ak
erman, and did not, by some inconsiderae step,
compromise the protectorate of Russia over the two
Principalties the Russian Cabinet would conscien-
tiously execute the Convention of 9th July.
The Austrian Observer, of December 26, in re
plying to the observations in the English papers
pectng the policy Of Austria IN the affairs ofthe
East says:
s.The instructions of the Internuncio during eve
ry period of the nsurrecton, however various they
may have been, were always the same in principle,
spirit, and end. The Emperor never had any
other desire ;and at Cons antnople, he never man
iested any other than to put an end to that unhap-
py srugs in the most prompt eHectual, and salts
factory way TO all parties. 1t is in this sense. and
only in this sense, that the Austrian Government
has constantly acted and spoken to the Porte, and,
whatever difference of opinion there may have pre-
vailed from time to time between the Courts on the
choice Of every attempt to arrive at the de-
sired end has been put in practice by the imperial
Cabinet, or has been supported by its Embassy at
Constantnople. One day all the European archives,
as we'll as those Of Turkey will prove this fact.
From the Gazette de France, Of Jan. 4.
A courier, leaving Constantinople the 9Th Decem-
Der, has brought the following ntelligence:--
The Porte was making every preparation for war.
II is reported that Thaer Pacha, who commanded the
Turkish fleet at Navarin is appointed, Captain Pacha
The population at Constantlnople appears to be
deeply afflicted.
The Porte would not acknowledge the protection
of the Ambassador of the Netherlands for the sub
lJects OF the 1hree Aiitea Soutts .he r"te uhuet-
took to protect them nearly all had resolved to
main at Constantinople, where every thing was per-
fectly tranquil.
Monsieur de Ribeaupierre had given to his coIlea-
CUES full powers to arrange with the Commanders Of
the Allied Squadrons the measures to be taken in
opposition to the Porte 1t is thought that one Of
these measures will be the establishment of station
at the entrance of the Dardanelles, for the purpose
of preventing the transport Of men, arms, ammuni-
tion, and provisions, which might be forwarded ON
account OF the Turks.
Letters from Admiral d. Rigny, received this
morning, make no mention of the event at Scio.
