In this empire, public opinion is said to declare itself more strongly in favour of the cause of the Greeks. To the sympathy excited by a community of religious faith, has been added a deep sentiment of indignation at the atrocities of the Turks.
The British Minister says--"The Russian army in Bessarabia, under the command of Gen. Wittgenstein, amounting to 70,000 men had received orders to cross the Danube, and to proceed to Constantinople: and that the Russian fleet in the Black Sea, with troops on board, is at the same time to make an attack on the Turkish Capital. It will require three weeks ere the army of Bessarabia will be able to reach Constantinople."
