The Generals who are here set out daily for their destinations. The troops assembling on our frontiers, for the information of the line and the army, will amount to 163,780 men. It is said that the declaration made on the part of our Court to that of Constantinople, is in substance: "That his Imperial Majesty had reason to imagine, that the Ottoman Court would have demanded his declaration with more decency and respect than they did; that the answer of his Imperial Majesty is, that he cannot but highly disapprove of the precipitate step of the Ottoman Court, in declaring war against Russia, and that the Porte must be answerable for all the unhappy consequences that will infallibly result from it; that the Divan cannot be ignorant that in the present circumstances his Imperial Majesty, as friend and ally to Russia, must furnish the Empress with the succors stipulated in the treaty, by sending 80,000 men to join the Russian forces; that if the Porte should look upon this as an hostility, our Court was prepared to repel force by force if necessary; but that if the Porte would not look upon such a proceeding as hostile, they might, notwithstanding the succors granted to Russia, continue, with regard to the respective frontiers, to keep up the good understanding that has hitherto subsisted between the two empires, in which case his Imperial Majesty will, with pleasure, undertake the office of mediator, in the differences between the Porte and Russia." The courier who carries this declaration, set out on the 4th for Constantinople, thus we shall soon know how it will be received by the Divan.
