the measure as one of stern necessity and
justice. 1t adds, that
"The annihilation of the Ottoman feet
was contingency, for which the Turks
themselves alone stood accountable +; not a
preconcerted measure on the part of the
Allies. When the necessity for such a
measure became imperative, they did not
shrink from its execution: how that execu-
ton was performed is now matter of history /;
but in the very flush of victoryso signal as
was theirs, the Combined Powers neither
lost sight of the proper aim of their combi-
nation, nor yet forgot the dictates of impair
tial duty. Greece still carried on her mari
time depredations, regardless Of the threats
and remonstrances made by tie champion
of the injured and justly Offended parties.
The consequences of her obstinicy in doing
wrong have been. exemplary punishment
at the hands of those Powers who have
thus shown themselves equally disinclined
to suffer insult and injury eitler from the
strong or from the weak--the lppressor or
the oppressed"
THE ALLIED MINISTER'S. The British
Traveller of the 2d of January (evening,)
announces an express from Vienna of the
preceding day, which states that when the
Russian Ambassador at Constaltinople COM
municated to his French anf English col
leagues, his determination to cave for Odes-
sa, they strongly remonstnted with him
and used every exertion in their power to
detain him there as they Wished to remain
until the very last hope of al accommodation
with the Porte should have vanished, when
they might all leave the Turkish capital to-
gether. 1t was reportedat Vienna that he
would not listen to their pressing solicita-
tons, and accordingly embarked. But it

ample details of the progress of the negocia-

Government either as to whether they would
be refused or granted. Unltss, however,
Mr.. Stratford Canning shouldbe prevented

On the 26th of December, the Courier states
( the following as the prominent facts under

to forward to. him no more dispatches by

The Courier has a column of comment.
upon these facts, of warlike aspect. "Tht
refusal Of the passports" it says, "was pc
remptory and unqualified. The Amhassa
