FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
We add the following selections TO the for
'eign intelligence which we gave yesterday by
the packe, ship York, from Liverpool.
1t is said that the Turkish ao,illa threatens
Samos. Admiral de Rigny had on the 25,h,
an interview on the subject, with Messrs. Park
err, Viario, CaPo d~istrias, and Fabvier, and at
forwards wrote to the President that he did
not consider Samos in the same situation as
Scio, because ever since the instruction that
island had constantly resisted the Turks, and
that there was not a single one in the territory,
that consequently it had a right 10 profit by the
s,ipula,ions of.he Treaty of July 6, and Of the
Convention Of September IA; that he should,
therefore, proceed to that point, and intimate
to the Turks, in case they proje1ed an attack,
orders to retire; that he had made an agree.
ment on this point with commodore Parker,
and tina, he should take with him, if necessary,
the Warspite and the Juno; lastly, that with re-
spect to the revolution Of the Samoils, ne did
not intend 10 exercise any influence. 1t does
no, appear, however, TO be the intention Of the
President 10 include Samos, when the future
Constitution of the country is settled, but it Is
still wished to secure 10 the Greeks the posses
sion of that Island, in order to exchange it if
necessary, for another portion of territory more
convenient.
CoNsrANTlNorLE May &c.
We are here in a state Of war, but all posi-.
5le care is taken for the safety Of the Franks,
and perfect tranquility slI.l prevails.-By way
of example to the disconnected M~ussulmans, a
Turk, who had endeavored TO excite the pop.
utace to revolt against the Sultan; was 5ehead-
ed a few days ago. Hussein Pacha and Haiil
Pacha, are gone 10 Adrianople with fifteen Gen
erals. The first before his departure succeeds
ed in persuading the Sultan 10 put an end 10
the prosecutions of The Catholic Armenians,
assuring him that these measures must have
aIicna,ed The European powers. The Captain
Pacha, with fifteen men of war, is stationed al
the north entrance of The Bosphorus. 1t is
stated that :hese vessels will be joined by
twelve fire ships, which are now fitting out.
Notwithstanding all these ornaments, many
persons think that the Divan will not only &C
cept the convention Of July 6, which would be
The salvation Of The Porte, because it would
restore to il the alliance Of France and England,
but that it is only going to open negotiations
with the Russians. The expressions OF the
Turkish statesmen leave no doubt that the &C
ceptance of The Convention Of July s, is resolv-
ed upon.
MAY sI.-Thc Porte has just declared that
it wishes for the presence OF the French and
English Ambassadors in order 10 negotiate
respecting the Creek question on the basis OF
the treaty of the 9th July. The Refs EHendi
has delivered 10 the Minister of the Neither
lands the letters Of invitation for these two
Ambassadors. The capital, however, is still
tranquil, and The answer Of the Porte 10 the
Russian Manifesto is expected every moment.
