Last ly, the Ottoman government promises to give the cestary orders for the constraction of the Russian church, convent. and hospital at Jerusalem, which will de placed under the protection of Rassis. Such is the analysis whish is given us of this document by our correspondents at Constantinople: + tg more explicit thas the one wa Score published, but the two versions perfectly scree, and we are right in repeating what we ve already said, that in its ground-work thie note differs but very jittle from that which accompanied the ultimatum drawn up by Count Nesse rode. We cam. there 10°@, readily conceive that the Divan should have heaita- ted for some days in sccspting it and chay it only yielded to the pressing solicitations of ali the governments of Europe, supported also by an autograph letter addressed to the Sultan by the Emperor of Austria. The Montleur announced that the Divan gave its acceptance sudject to some modidsations of little fnoortance. Accoréing to our letters, these modifications besr on three points: in the tirst place, the Porta demands that the mean. ing to be given to the phrase which secures to the Greeks the advantages whieh are enjoyed by other Christian communions shall be more ciearly dofiaed; it wishes that i: should be well understood that these words oaly apply to ecommunions which are compcsed of Otto man subje nd it protests against any ides of assimi- lating the Grecks to the Christians who are foreiga sub- jects, who, in virtue of existing conventions, enjoy wpecial privileges. 1a the second place, the Po-te wisnss it to be stated, that, as far as reg:rds what is in the letter and spirit of the treaties of Kainardji and Adri- arople, mentioned in tne no: it only uaderatands them in the most general sense, and that they oausot in any way imply a right ‘of protection of Russia over the Greek Church in the east. Jastly, the Porte withes to rescind the document and make for the Holy Places a separate convention with Russia, We cannot well understand the importance which tha Ot tomen government attaches to this last point; but under any circumstances we consider it aa impossible that it cap give rise to apy serious difficulty. The latest pest from the Danubian principalities an nounces that the Psinces of Moldavia aud Wallachia have refused to obey the order of the Porte toappear in person at Constantinople. This places government ina most emDdarrassing position. E account received from the different provinces of the empire apeaks of the zal shown by the poople in arming themvelves for defence against Russia, It re- mains to be seen how this unexampled enthusiasm will be allayed without war. Paris Patrie of Saturday evening svya :—A letter from Jassy of Aug. 12th annouaces that the Roasian troops were making prepara‘ions for quitting the soun- try. The genera!-in chief had it is said, informed the authoMities of Moldavia that in withdrawing voluatarily he would jeave in the hospital of the trwo bis sick, as well as a detacoment of medical men to attegd them, Upon the other hand, the correspondent of the London Times, writing from Constantiaople, upon the 18th ult., rays It isimpossible at this moment to predict with any confidence the issue of the present nagotiaiions con- corning the Menschikoff note, sinca tha result of each day's conference varies from thas of the precsediag one. On che acrival of the last projet, backed as it was by the four Powers, it was contideatiy guticipated that the Porte would st once yield. Such expectations have not, however, heon realized, since the strongest opposition has been organized, and bas made itvel€ heard in the councils of the nation, [a the daliberations of the last Divan, whether the terms proposed by Austr'a and approved by the other Powers ace to be accepted or not, it appears that the peace party (ahich is Isd by Redscbid Pacha tha Foreign Mivister, and Mustapha Pasha, the Grand Vizier.) would prevail if a guarantes could be obtained from these four Mowers to the eifect that the concsssion to Ri should never b3 made an urdue ue of. The war pa mong the Turks, of which Chief of the Guards, ure still loud in thoir opposition. Mahmoud Pasha deciered in the Divaa of the 17th that “he would divorce his wife, bat would not advise s dis- hororsble peace with Russia” Tuis is an expression of thé strongest kind in use amongst the Tarks. Every day sees a Grand Council, aod yet no result is arrived at, The indignation among the Turks at what they term the faitblessness of thpse allies who with them signed the solemn treaties which were to guarantee the integcity of Turkey ia ecogstantly expressed, and Eog- land comes in tor the largest share of abuse. A deputa- tion haa juet arrived from 3,000 Caristians of Bulgaria cflering their services to the Sultan agains’ his onemtes. The Bulgarians, asounting to upwards of 4.000,000, and Brestls ‘on the increase, are of @ mixed Sclavonian and Tatar origin, and ace woll known for their in- dnetrious, quiet ‘habits. Graat efferte have been Waking for some years pact by Crevk priests and others io the pay of Russia to crea‘e disaffaction among them towards tneir Tigutrat , Bad te teseh them to regard the Czar as their natu- ral protector and tho head of their religion. ‘The day before yesterday the Bosphorus, opposite the Sultan’s Palace of Cheragan, was crowded with barges carrying from Asia to Barope from 2,000 to 3,000 Bashi- Dozouks, or irregular cavalry, from Anstolia. ‘These men are each dreseed, armed. ani mouated, aceording to their individual taste, and are a type of those warriors who firs: with the Janissaries carried the furkise arms into the fair provinces of Earope. All accounts from Wallaciis agree ac to the unhealthy state of the Russian troops, and the un’eeling neglect of their comforts shown by their superior ofiicera, who treat them as mere machines. [hey were observed marching into Bocharest under the burning heatof a July sun, sweltering under the load of their greatcoate, winter clothirg and hesvy knspsacks, many of them from time to time szopping on the road through fatigue. Typhus fever commits great ravages among them. They have, it is enid, @ great deeas of the superior prowess of the Turkish sel but express their determination to go forward to certain death and glory to fight for the Holy Sepulebre, which they say has been sold by the Sultan to the Jews. They eanen ty ask how far it is to Jerusa- lem, which they regard as the future field of battle, A letter from Vienna, dated August 26, in the Frank- Surter Post Zeilung, eays: The last post from Bucharest brings the joyfal news thot the difference between Russia and Turkey is now arranged in the main. The Austrian Consul-General there received the news -by two couriers, that peace was as good as certain, and that the Russians would evacuate Moldavia aud Wallachia by the 24 September. # # * The porition of the Hospodars of the two Principalities has, unde- the existing circumstances, become very dim- cult, ani noting ‘but very energetic protection on the part of Russia will enable them to keap their footing. The Prince of Moldavia has opealy defied the Porte, and even instrucied his agent in Constantinople, Vogorides, to enter into no further trans- actions with the Divan, Stirbay (Wallachia), if he has not estirely disregarded the orders of the Turkish gov- ernment to lay down his powers and repair to Coastan- tinople, has at least evaded them by intrigues that are very transparent ivdeed. Upto the lth iast.the po- litical horizoa was by no mesons clear at Bucharest, 60 moch the more satisfactory was the surprise, The Berlin corres pondeat of the London Times, under date of August 27, says :— In well informed circles here people are no’ so certain that the ‘slight modifications’ made by the Porte ia aa arrangement, which the Emperor required to be accepted intact, will meet with his approbation ; and while the foreign news says that Turkey stipulates for the evacua- tion of the principalities as a Voge IT find here that there is rome talk of ths existing treaties ba- tweea Russia and Turkey boing revised and digested pra- vious to a settlement. A letter from Coastantin»ple, — 16, inthe Wanderer, corroborates this last intel- igence. The Parts correspondent of the London Times writes as followa upon the uth ult :--To say that the Tarks dis- approve of the present settlément is to say but little. Several express themselves indignant, and their indigoa tion is stroogly expressed. I have for some weeks past seen letters from Constantinople, in whizh theue feelings were given vent to in a very marked manner, and Russians and English very nearly placed ons par.

A states that ths question ia settled, and that the Dauubian Provinces will be evacaat- ed im the Ly mp of September. The London News of the Ist of Ssptember thus iatro- duces the publication of a draft of the Vienna note con- — roposition of the four Powers te the Sul- tan :—The following document, just reseived from Constantinople, justifies the assertion of our correspoai- ent thore, (in his letter of the 15th ult.,) that the note prepared by M. Delacour, quite as much as the original note forwarded from Vienna, flattered the vanity of Rue- aia, and pet words in the mouthof the Sultan Taoonsis- tent with his digcity aa an independent and injured sovereign, The modifications with which this document has been adopted by the O:stoman Couneil of State are contained in the notes, They are not more (if #0 mush,) than was required to preserve appearances for the Tark- igh government in the eyes of its subjests, They justify | the expression “ ules modifications’ in the account of the Tri eg ty despatch. The adoption of the note, with ro little change, shows how cerrestly our Constantinople correspondent of the 15th, (and his cor- renpondont at Pera,) were informed of the state of opi ion among the mi sand high functionaries of th empire, and the justice of the inforenees they drew from their knowledge. Turkey has receded from ite stipulation to have an ox- press guarantee of the evacuation of the Danubian pro- | vinces before it aeceded to the proposals of the four | Powers; Tarkey has, with little more than mere verbal | alterations, adopted the Jangunge they put in ts moath. | with juests of the four Powers | Qs far an it could consistontly with eafety from internal | Ottoman Spgs indeed it have not overstepped thet lige, | be sapien hae four Powers sian from | Wallashia and Moltavia, The English ministers at lant sland pabiicly pledged to insiet upon the evacuation of | phone ) ud the Proyincer Engitah ministeze mast have, sper cor: po the evacuation of the provinces are yet a mys: tery. spicious circumstances there are i: ndanc: as, for example, the feelers put forth to try whether isance will 80 far a6 te sanction a de- mand from Turkey by Russia for the expenses it has in- curred im its lawless inroad inte the O:toman territory.

The Sublime Porte is heppy to be able to communieste to his Excellency Count Nesselrode a supreme Irade, which gives publiciy to the result of these labora. I? the Emperors of Rarsia have on all occasions evinced their active care for the maintenance of the immunities and privileges of the orthodox Greek Caurch, within the limits of the Ottoman Empire, the Sultans, on their part, have never refured to (1) eonfirm them anew by solena acta which teatify their old and enduring benevoleacs to ‘wards their Cristian subjects. His Majesty the Sultan Abdul Modjid, now reigning, is animated by the rame sentiments, aad—desirous to give to bis Majesty the Emp2ror of Rusia a personal proof of his sincere friepdebip—be has listened to nothiog bu; bis unbounded contidenee in the distinguished qualities of hia augus; friend and ally. and hay condescended to take iato ferious coosideration the representati-us (2) of whicabis Exeellency Prince Menachikoff has ben made the medium of communicstion to the Sublime Porte. The undersigned has, in consequence, received orders to deslare by these pre.ente that the government of his Ma- jesty the Sultan will remaia faicufn! to the letter aad the spirit of the stipulations in the treaties Kursaik, Kalnad- ji (8), and Adrianopls, relsting to the protection of Caria tisn worship (4); and that his Majesty considers himself bound in hocor to cause to ba respesed, now and in fu- ture, the enjoyment of spiritusl privileges, which heve bees conceded by the acgust ancostors of his Majesty to ther orthodox Church of the East, and which a-e now coa- firmed by him; and. moreover, to make the Greek ritus! participate. in'an equitable spirit, in the advantages con- eeded to other Christians by any coavenzico or special ordinance (5).

In the advantages gravted, or which shall be bs rra to other Christian commuaities of Ottoman sub- jects, From the London Timer, Septembor 1.] We publish this morning an authentic copy of the note originally proposed by the French cabinet, and aogted by the Conference at Vieona, which has been transmitted © us from Constantinople. Fe ¥ documoate charecter haya ever inspired greater ca sot ioe upon bese! a oad has hung. a orld. Pa ata) Neer ty note as resented We ob? ee the Por‘e, but without the alterations subse quired by the Divan, toat these alterations are of a verbal character, they do not include the three impoxtant changes and ex planations mentioned by the Journal des Divats. They appear, on the contrary, to affee! the substantial provi- sions and meaning of the document so slightly, that we hope they will not occasion any serious opposition or de- lay at St. Petersburg. The note itself is now bsfore our readers, and must tell itsown tale. Weare never sur- prised to fied that the terms of a compromise ar3 opsn to dyersion from the extreme parties on both sides, and that those who have no; scrupled to recommend a tion at the conditions of peace, even before they are acquainted with them. Bat, althousa this isa very common error on the part of those who seek to regulate public opinion, itis a marrow and short- sighted view of the interests of states; and we look back on no portion of the labors of this journal with more satisfaction than on eur earnest and not unfrequent at- tempts to defend public arrangements of this nature— attempts which we may venture to call successful, since our arguments have subsequently been ratified by the ds- liberate judgment of the world. Nothing is easier than to impart an excessive importance to the minutia of ne- gotia‘ions, and to argue as if the fate of the world de pended on a hair’s breadth more or less of ooncassion to ‘one or the other of the contending ties. But that is to argue as if the whole field of political interests were narrowed to one irsue, and as if the broad permanent ia- terests of the world, which are summed up in the mia. tenarce of peace, wore not of greater moment than the specific question in dispute. A statesman ought to take a more comprehensive survey, aud to act not only on the merits of each question in itself. but on its relations to general interests and to the public welfare, On there grounds, we do not hesitate to exp-ess our conviction that this note does includa terms sufficiently favorable to the essential interests of the Ottoman em- pire; and, if the delay which has now ocsurced were upbappily tolead to its ultimate rejection and to graver consequences, we are equally eonvincad that this ill- advised determination wou'd have the moat injurious hr la Pag the power and dignity of the Sultan’s govern- ment. It has indeod beon said that this note differs scarcely at all from Count Nesselrode’e ultimatum ; but we can ficd in it very few traces of Prince Menachikoll’s original and objectiopal demands. Ta reality, the tenor of the note much more resembles Redschid Pasha’s ova Proposal, from which it isin great part taken. It is ‘ue, however, that the note does contain two points which have already been criticised in no friendly spirit in this country. It provides that the Groek rite shall, in all cares, participate in the same privileges and concessio to other Cheis- tian churches ; it that the Saltsn will adhere faithfully to the stipulations of the treaties of jl and Adrianople with _re- ference to the worship of his Christian subjects. What is there in the slightest degree derogatory to the Portein these declarations? The ficst is merely a repetition of wha! is termed the “most favored nation clause’ in various international engagements: and, if concassions are to be negotiated by one Christian power in fivor of its co religionists in a Mussulman empire, it is not easy to ree on what grounds similar concessions are to be re- fased to the co-religionists of another power. This very = was the origin of the disoute about the Holy Jaces, and thet question was settled on this very prin cipie by undertaking that whatever privileges were granted to one braachof the Christian church should be equally granted to the others. In reality, this engage ment is of more value to the lesser religious communi ties in the East than it is to the greatest of them; for it cannot be supposed that the most numerons and por- erful of these Christian sects, the Greek Church, will ob- tain the smallest share of concessions, aad all tha privi- loges {t doen obtain, now or hereafter, will bo oqually ag to the Latins, the Armenians, and the Protes Bat the Sultan {s to declare that he will adhero fsith- fully to certain oxisting treaties, and this, too, is repre: | sented as a very fatal and hvmiliating concession. We ‘wore surprised thatthe Russiaws ever threw any doud’ on the observance of those en; ents, by insinustiog that they had been departed from, for it is evident that Turkey has for many years past nelther had the will nor the power to violet) them with impunity. But as the most important of these treaties ha! ready been in force fer about eighty years, to ask the Porte to resog- nite what it has never disputed signifies no more than if the British government were now, in a diplomatic note, t> reoognise the independence of ‘the United States. tae object of the covference at Vienna was evidently to re- move doubt from the treaties existing be- tween Russia and the Porte, without exiending them; and the simplest mode of effecting thia jurpos@ was to declare that they would be faithfully observed. Nothing is to be found in the tenor of this note which goes a single line beyond them; and it cates an unusual amount of subtlety to take excap- fon to the bare ps eae of a promise already made. ‘That engagement is neither more nor leas binding in con- sequenee of such a declaration, which evidently leaves thu care exac'ly where it was before, These are the onl; two points which Rossa oan be eald to bave gained, if the note is accepted by Turkey—the one that her Greek | co religionista aro not to be worse treated than other is, the other that her old treaties are still in anybody considers that an acknowl it to wn adequate gain for the enormous offorts for the loss of respect she hag suffered in og we can only say that he must suppore the Em- peror Nicholas to be easily satisfied, for never were great pretensions #0 elaborately and audaciously put forward with a smaller or more pitifal rosult.

When the will of Heaven is determined, the minds of men should be compiiant; Heaven having now pro: duced the true novercign to rule the people, they ought to yield their minds to his renovating influence. It is to be regretted that ever since the Tartars bave thrown the Chinese empire into confusion, they have induced the yeople to worship corrupt spirits and to reject the true spirit; while they rebel against God, they have moreover required the pers to assume the appearance of imps, and to divest themselves of the human form: by all which meaus they have rou: the vengeance of bigs Hesveu. Besides this they have oppressed oar people, and brought calamities on the living Intel.igences.

In every dis teict through which we have passed, the people have welcomed us as they would reasonable show- ets ; and wherever our stamdards have appeared, the inhabitants have felt as if they were delivered from the greatest calamity; which shows that the will of Heaven is evidently on our side, and that the minis of men in- cline towards us. Ever since we commenced this great undertaking in the province Kwang-se, the first ranks of those who have come out against our royal troops have inverted their weapons in indication of submission; while those who have been influnced by the fear of Heaven’s majesty, have on the first report of our arrival lost all heart for defending the enemy.
