contains the following intelligence, da- ted Adrianople, Dec. l0:-" An act of amnesty was issued by the Sultan in the carly part of the month, and sent to A. iisch Paeha, commander of this city. The following are its principal proyis- ions:-. It has come to my knowledge that some Rayas, established at Adrla- nople or in the surrounding districts, who, m consequence of the events of the war had pursued line of conduct con trary to their duty as subjects, entertain the idea that they will receive reproach- es from my Sublime Porte, and are fill ed with apprehension. But the truth is, that not only the gates of pardon and my sovereign clemency are ever open to those who manifest repentance for their past conduct, and demand grace; but, moreover, the Ottoman Govern ment, out of consideration for the salu- tary peace that has been concluded, re- gards all the Rayas in question, as par ticipating in the amnesty. In conse- quenee, the conduct of these Rayas du- ring the war, of whatever nature 1t may have been, ought to be buried in eter- nalobliyion. It shall be demonstrated to them that theYhave been pardoned, and so long as they shall not deyiate from the paths of loyalty and their condition as Rayas, my ardent desire is, that my Sublime Porte should occupy itself in ensuring theirrepose and welfare in ev- cry respect.
 Itls my imperial will that you should make known my commands and soye- reign desires to ali my Rayas, high and low, who dwell in the places subject to your jurisdiction, and that according to ] the. discernment and prudence which appertain to you, should tranquilize their minds, that you should inspire them with confidence, and conduct yourselves es |. |. such a manner, that they may devote themselves, as heretofore, to cultivating their fields, and carrying on their trades and commerce; and lastly, that you should endeavof, by al al the means ii your power, to draw down upon me. their benedictions. Theprcsent order, the object of which is to confirm the acts already issued in this respect, and to at tain the execution thereof in the most efficient manner has been published in pursuance of my Hatti-Seheritf. The fsayas, throughout the whole extent oi my empire, are a good entrusted by God to my sovereign keeping Asimi- lar order has been sent to Jussuf Pa cha, Nasir of Samanla.
 The latest intelligence from Odessa (25th December) is, that Halil Pacha, Ambassadors Extraordinary of the Porte, has not yet received his passports for St. Petersburgh, and some persons are of opinion that he will not yet proceed thither. General astonishment Is eXci- ted by the numerous and costly presents which the Ambassador is charged to deliver to the Emperor, and many be- believe that the Porte hopes, by this means, to free itself from the contribu- ton under which it has been laid. Let ters mention it as reason for the Sul- tan rejecting the offer of loan. When it is considered, however, what immense sacrifices Russia has made in this war, and their disproportion with the indem- nity stipulated by the treaty of Adria- nople, it is not probable that the Empe- TOT Nicholas will make further conces- sions. The contribution under which Persia was laid, was much more consid- erable, although the sacrifices of Rus sia in the warwith Persia were small in proportion; and the Emperor only gran ted to Persia slight reduction upon the contribution, although that power made much greater sessions of territo- ry. The commerce of Odessa, notwith- standing the plague and the cold, is ex- tremeiy active"
