Letters from Constantinople of the 9th
and 18th of Jan. confirm the account which
the Gazette of Augsburg had published.
The Porte has suddenly changed its Ian
guage and attitude. On the 9th of Jan.
three lists of prescriptions appeared; the
first containing the names of l02 French
man; the second those of 100 English; and
the third of SIS Russians. All the remon-
strances addressed to the Porte, frcn differ
ent quarters, were useless. The measure
these lists must quit the dominions of the
Sultan in three days. The kind of mani
festo which the Porte has published at the
same time against the Infidels, and particu-
lally against the Russians, is an appeal to
their religious fanaticism, and this circum-
stance must make the Ministers of the Pow
ers who interfered in favor of the exiles
think since, that perhaps there would be no
occasion to regret III the sequel, that per-
mission to remain ms situation OF. danger,
which was asked fer several of them, was
not obtained. Prosecutions have also taken
place against the Armenian Catholics.
Most of the bankers have been abruptly sent
( to Angora, with their families. In fact it is
difficult to explain how the Porte, although
without any provocation from the Allies, has
suddenly forgotten its engagements. and the
promises which it had made, spontaneously
and voluntarily, to protect the subjects of
the three powers. However, no sensible
man doubts at Constantinople, and nobody
In Europe can doubt, that these circumstan-
ces will contribute to draw the Alliance
still closer together. The imprudence OF
the Porte is the effect of the ancient error
of its diplomacy, which always 'speculates
on the differences of the Powers with each
other. The romance of this illusion will
not last long, and when it is obliged to give
it up, it will undoubtedly yield. Force has
been employed to execute the order which
enloins the subjects of the three nations, tc
} quit the capital.
! CoNsTANrINoPLE, Jan. 10. In addition
to the prescriptions of Franks, subjects O
the three Allied Powers, to the extent O
which is hardly to be accounted for by {
reference to-the previous conduct of gov.
eminent, as well as it's assurance. I hear to-
day that the Austrian Internuncio has beer
also desired to make out list Of the sub
lJects OF his nation, to be submitted to the
Inspections of the Porte, and which woulC
imply that the prescriptions are to be extend
ded to them also. Another affair has alsC
lust occurred, which excites much concern
! For several days past, arrests have beer
carried into execution against the Armeni
an bankers and other respectable persons o
that nation. 1t was given out at first, tina
these arrests were produced by religion,
quarrel amongst the sects; but yesterda,
an order was issued that families are t.
quit the capital within twelve DAYS. It
thought that these will amount TO 3OOt
individuals, and a general apprehension
prevails that some further extensive pro
scriptions are in contemplation.
1t is now said that the movements Al
Constantinople were occasioned by account:
which had reached the Porte of the march.
ing of the Russian armies, and by despatch.
es received from the emissaries of the Porte
IN London, stating that the English Minis.
try were determined on war.
