was 10 much prolonged a. to weary the pa.
tience OF the Ambassadors, so that one OF
these gentlemen exclaimed, F" You toish for
war; you shall haze pay." (Vous poiiIez
la guerre roux aurez Ia gueyTe." The
conference terminated without any pre-
else result. The French Ambassador,
however, retained the hope that the Porte
would ultimately yield to the wishes Of the
Powers. The Russia and English Ambas-
sadors entertained different opinion. New.
ertheless, the Porte, a, ii at night Of the
Oath, sent for the Dragomans Of the three
Powers, TO make proposals to them. The
nature Of these proposals, or upon what
they were founded, was unknown 10 Con
J stantinople at the departure Of the courier.
II was equally unknown if the proposals
we're in consequence of the conference OF
the day, or Of the Joint note which the Am
bassadors on their return from the Palace
Of the Porte, had signed at the house Of
Canning.
By this note, which is dated the Oath, at
six P. NJ the Porte was again invited-lst.
To acknowledge a general armistice in
Greece-2d. To make some mutual con-
cessions with the Greeks in accordance
with the treaty OF the 9th July. A period
ofthree days was fixed upon for the deter
mination ofthese two points.-If, after that
time no answer was given to the Ambassa-
dors, or ifthey should receive only an eva
sive one, their intention was to quit the
capital. M. de Ribeaupierre has made ev-
cry preparation. He has requested the
Consul OF the Netherlands to protect the
Russian subjects during his absence. A
circular has in consequence been sent to
all the Consuls. Mr.. Stratford Canning has
also rec ecommended his countrymen to the
| Minister of the Netherlands, and M. Gull
leminot has recommended his to the Plen-
ipotentiary of Spain. A Courier set ont at
the same time for Smyrna, with dispatches
for messrs. Rigny and Iieiden.

AUGSBURG, Dec. IL.
| (BY ExPREss.)
The Universal Gazette of Augsburg
publishes the following copy of the Collec.
tive Note Of the Three Representatives Of
France, Great Britain, and Russia, sent to
the Refs Efendi the 10th of November,
| l627:--
The Representatives of the Three Al
lied Courts of France, Great Britain, and
Russia, having taken into consideration
the questions which his Excellency the
Res Ehendi had charged their interpret
ers to address 10 them, have the honor
to answer them in the present note,
in the only manner compatible with what
they have reason to believe to be The SEN
tinents Of their Courts on such subject.
lst Question the Greek question
be entirely dropped?
The representatives would fail In their
duty to truth, if, in replying to that ques-
ton, they did not repeat the declaration
they have already several times made, viz:
that it is tho unshakcn determination Of
their Courts to maintain the treaty con-
! cluded between them for the pacification
of Greece, and to perseyere in the execn-
ton Of the measures they have in common
decided upon with that view.
I'd Qucs,ion.-Is it intended to indem-
nifty the Ottoman Government for the loss
Of its feet?
A demand for indemnity i, cnly admissi
bio when 1t rests upon u positive right
Now, in the present case, it is demonstra-
ted by all the accounts, that the aggres
sion was on the part Of the fleet OF the
Sublime Porte.
Sd Question.-Is it intended to grant
the Sublime Porto satisfaction?
For three years past, in all their en-
deavors, both separately and collectively,
wishing the Sublime Porte to listen to
their disinterested proposals, the Cabinets
have sufficiently testified how far they
were from sighting the pretensions which
she Justly put forward?
This friendly conduct, its continuance
and the frank declaration that the Repre-.
sentatives have made of the measures
which the High Powers prescribed to their
Admirals, does not, it appears, leave room
to doubt the reception they would give the
demand comprised in the third question OF
the Reis Effend.
After having thus answered the ques-
tions Of his Excellency, the Representa-
tives, dcsirous, at the same time, Of spar
ing no care TO make the Sublime Porte
acquainted with the disinterested views of
the Powers, and to avoid any interpreta.
ton which would have fatal results, have
the honor to replace before his Excellency
the Reis EifSndi's eyes, some considera.
tons which they still hope will not be use.
less in the cause of peace.
| The three Cabinets having concluded
among themselves Treaty, the only OBJ
lJect Of which is the pacification Of Greece,
have requested the Sublime Porte, for the
attainment Of that object, to accept Of their
me citation, and to consent 10 On armistice.
