that which the Allied Powers were taught to expect.
According to these accounts, the moderation which
it displayed after the battle of Navarn was only
affected. 1t wished to gain time and assum-
cd pacific attitude aud language, the better to CON
ceal its hostile intentions. 1t has addressed Pro-
clanation to the Pachas, and other officers OF the
Empire, calling upon them to arm, applying to the
Christians many offensive terms and epihets, &C
knowledgng that It put on 4 seeming moderation
only to gain time,-and having thereby succeeded
in making the requisite preparations, thatH will pu
every thing to the risk, rather than acknowledge the
independence of the Greeks. A change in the Tur
/ kish Ministry has infused this warke spirit in the
Divan. and the situation of the Christians at Con
stantnope is reprcsentedto be full of alarm.

had been suddenly changed for the most ardent and
active hostility, and the prepared in silence
during the last four months were OF sufficient mag
nitude to Justify, in some degree, the confidence
which tho Porte entertained in her own strength.
Upwards OF 900 Asiatc troops had arrived
in the vicinity Of the Capital. and only waited the
signal for crossing to the European side OF the
| Bosphorns Under these circumstances little hope
renamed Of the Sultan being brought back to sense
of his real interests. The CONSCIOUSNESS of inferio
rity had alone checked his fury after the battle Of
Navarln that that consciousness had departed,
all the causes Of irritation which had hitherto tester
red at his heart, broke open the more freely, as IN
stead of having to encounter and repel crusade,
he found himself in condition to nHct one upon
the Christian world.

Some additional intelligence from Constantnople,
has been furnished by the Paris papers of Wednes-
day aud Thursday. 1t corroboraies the previous ac-
counts and. if true, would leave but feeble hopes Of
peace. The manifesto issued by the Porte. to which
we alluded yesterday and the day before, has
rived. and is couched in no measured or doubtful
terms
A circular order to the Pachas shows that the for
bearance Of the Porte after the battle Of Navarin
was only to gain time. and accuses the Russians of
having at length succeeded in seducng two other
Powers, to assist in overthrowlng the Ottoman EN-
pire.
The measures adopted by the Porte correspond
with the disposition manifested in the documents we
have alluded to- French, English and Russian sub

for thirty years, have been sent Asia; vessels with
corn have been unIoaded for the supply of the Turk
