POSTSCRIPT TO THE WEEK'S NEWS.
SPECTATOR OFFICE, SATURDAY NIGHT.
By the German Mail, which arrived this morning, we have received German papers to the. 15th inst. They contain a long article from Constantinople, dated the 14th ult., in which it is stated that the Porte is endeavouring in various ways to elude the execution of the treaty of peace with Russia, and indirectly giving encouragement to such of its officers as have resisted the provisions of that treaty. It is added, however, that the Porte is by no means in a condition to raise any serious obstacles to the consolidation of the peace ; as in many parts of the empire symptoms of discontent against the Government, and of a desire to unite with the invaders, have been manifested. It is even said that the Grand Vizier has refused to surrender the seals of his office, and that the Sultan dares not displace him, as he originally intended. The German funds remain steady at Vienna: on the lOili inst. the 5 per Cents. were at 102 5-8ths ; 4 per Cents. 92 t ; Bank Shares, 1233.
