Accounts from Europe are eight days later

Of Importance are annexed.
AFFAIRS OF THE EAST.
The prevailing opinion is, that though
the treaty is ratified, the Porte will find
much difficulty in fulfilling it, because of
the exhausted state of his funds. The Refs
! Effendi has long since given the English
and French ambassadors to understand that
his master looked to those nations for pc
cuniary assistance; but the replies were
vague and unsatisfactory. Advices from
Corstantinople, of Sept. %, state that the
Sultan is about sending, or has sent, an
ambassador to st. Petersburg, to negotiate
for a modification of some of the articles of
the treaty. This mission is confined to
Hall Pacha; and an article in the .MeSSen-
ger des Chambers of Oct. 90, says, it seems
to hold out some hopes of salvation, its OBJ
( ject being to prove to the emperor of Rus
sa that it is impossible for the Porte to pay
the contributions. Great reliance is placed
on the generosity of the emperor, and it is
hoped that he will renounce the indemnity
of 100000 of ducats, and that he will
order the evacuation of the Turkish terri
tory next spring. Gen.. Muffling, it is said
from Constantinople, has given every body
there such high opinion of the emperor of
Russia, that nobody doubts the success of
Hall Pachas mission. Among other pres
ents which the Sultan has sent to st. Pc
tersburg, by the ambassador, are cloak of
! Ermine, with an agraffe of diamonds, for
the emperor, and ten Turkish shawls, adofn-
J ed with pearls and brlliants.
The very fact OF the Sutan's sending
such II mission, shows how much he has
been humbled. Hitherto the representa-
tive of Mahomet has never sent an ambas-
sador to any court. 1t was enough for him
to condescend to receive Il minister from
any nation of Christian dogs.
STATE OF TURKEY. A letter from Ber-
lin, Of Oct. 49, copied from the Algemeine
| Zeitung, is published in the London Cou-
rier of the Both, and commented upon, as
probably coming from German State
( Functionary. 1t states that the present
state of Turkey, as represented by an eye
witness, is most melancholy. In Romelia,
those who have heretofore called themselves
Christians, believing that the Russian power
J was to be permanent, had rejoiced at the
| appearance of the Russians, whom they
considered as their deiverers. On the
Russians Withdrawing, these people will
who will put his head quarters at Adriano-
pie, and erect scaffolds, no doubt. Some
confidence, however, is entertained, that
Russia will not abandon them to the ven
geance of the Porte; but will strictly en-
force the stipulations of the treaty in favor
of the Christian population. The ruin and
dissolution of the Turkish army and empire.

bodies. The irregular troops fed with
their arms. Near Constantinople a body
of about $4,000 fugitives had assembled,
whom the Sultan would not venture to admit
to the city. In the villages and towns. the

terror about the streets, to save their chill

ADDITIONAL TREATY. The Times, of
f Oct. 9th, contains the "Separate Act" as
) the before unpublished treaty between the
Turks and Russians, is called. This act
relates TO the re-enactment of the treaty of
Akermann, especially with reference to the
prlnclpalties of Moldavia and Wallachia.
The first clause proposes the necessity of
giving "to the administration of these prov
lnces more durable basis, and one more
IN harmony with their true interests" By
this article, the two Hospodars are to enioy
! their dignlties for life, instead of seven
years. They are to govern within their
respective prlnclpaltles, as they and their
Dlvans may think proper, without the shad-
r ow OF interference from the Porte, or any
of its officers. The Porte surrenders every
thing on the left bank of the Danube-soil,
cities, foitfesses-even to the privilege of
: permitting so much as an individual Ma
homedan subject of the Sultan to reside
there, or to retain, beyond the term of eight
cen months, one foot of land, however ac-
CURED. Establishments of troops are to be
!, kept up by the Hospodars, independently of
!. the Snltan and they are at liberty to draw
. Sanitary Cordors when and where they
please, along the Danube. The Turkish
: government is forced to relinquish all claim
to contributions in corn, provisions, cattle,
TIMBER and other articles in kind, which it
has heretofore received from the principali-
ties. In lieu of these contributions, an an
nual tribute in money, the amount of which
is to be determined hereafter, is to be paid,
: but no call is to be made, until two wears
after the evacuation of those provinces by
the Russians-which evacuation will not
take place until Turkey has paid up the
whole amount of the ndemnites-which
, payment she is not expected to make within
ten years. Finally, the Turk oinds himself
to confirm every administrative measure
which the Russians may Save adopted dur
ing their military tenure Of those provinces,
/, provided such DEGREES do not infringe upon
the rights of sovereignty of the Porte.
: Frontiers Of WaELachia, Oct. 5. No move
: ments have yet taken place in the Russian
army, but it is still expected that the corps
of Count Pahlen will occupy Walachia,
and another commanded by Gen. Kisselow,
Moldavia. The Provisional Committee at
Bucharest, is already making contracts to
provide for them. The continual arrival of
