 since our last, and the n,,,iceS in the Fcreign | Journals rnablr us to judge. continue in the m state. The depsrlure Of the Ambassa- l docs tosk place quietly, and it is reasonSblr ] to suppose that they would avail themselves of the permission, or rather Sulierance, of the Porte. tu place themselves in safety before a. nv active hosiiities would commence on ei- ther side. In Vienna. by the latest accounts it was still hoped that no war would take place. We fear that this is but an exemplif- cation OftLe old rule, qsOd UoLSmWS credimGS. NJ. de Ribaupierre had, as tt IS said, renewed 1 t0 Mir. Canning. on taking leave of hIm, his assurances, that, unless Turkey had commit ted some infractiOn of the Treaty of Acker- mann Russia would not attack ifs territOTles. On this assurance we can implicitly rely: and in further confirmation fthe cOnSiderate l intentions of his Court. M. de Ribaupierre has ordered M. de Minzicacky to remain at Bucharest, to receive communications should the porte see fit to make any. We do not think l It will. Up to the departure of the Ambas- sadOrs, our hopes were sangufne that the Sul- tan was but acting part ;that when he found that he must acguiesCe, or break with the AL lies, he would choose the former as the least evil but his suffering them to depart, be- | speaks more obstinacy and less cunning than we were willing to give him credit for. We 1 are now more than ever convinced of the l truth of an observation made by one of the Diplomatists, that nothing but a good drub- bing would bring him. to his senses" We quote the following passage from the 1 British Traveller of Jan. 5th.
 "The intelligence from Turkey is simply confrmatory of the tone of defiance breathed forth in the deliberations of the Divan. Whe-
 ther the Porte in the event of open rupture will come off scatheless from the conflict with
 its beleaguers, which it proved so determined to provoke, is a question that would puzzle l no conjurer to decide: its own has been the l fault-its own be the consequences. One dis tinguished trait which has along-since the af-
 fair of Navarino-peculiarly marked this, the 1 unhending resolution of the Ottoman govern
 ment, must be recorded to their credit, as singular analomy in the Turkish character we mean the admirable cOolness of temper displayed both on the part of the leading pow CTS and the populace towards the compatriots of those Allies whose conduct has moved them to the desperation of resentment

 FROM GREECK.--The report was preva. lent at Corfu, oa the 4th of December. that the fortress of Patras has fallen into the hands of the Greeks. The Turks having learned the catastrophe of NavarinO, hastened to cap itulate with General Church, upon condition they should he permitted to march out with
 all the honors of war. They dreaded that

 scarcity which has existed for these three

 to all the inhabitants. The authorities ofthe
 country even demand arms of the Turks
 themselves. This step in place ofallaying the
 excitement, has only increased it. The pop nlation of Janina. accustomed to live well ID the time of Ali Terbeiin,p proceeded with arms in their hands to the fortress which the waters

 Albanians live in very good terms, with the
 Greeks of Epirus, and treat them like broth CTS. .....
 The mnaDWantS OI AtIlca anu DHtId, WHO had fled to some of the islands of the Archi pelago, and those who happened to be in the
 Peloponessus, have set out with drums beat-

 thought they had right to the country that
 gave them birth,and where the bones oftheil
 forefathers were desposted; they claim even the assistance of the Greek Government, and
 declare that it is unjust that men who have fought bravely for St ven years, and who. m

 The SuliOtes before setting out for Romel- |ia, presented to the Government a declara-
