F/--m the Gazette de France, June 16.

Thus we shall soon see all the coasts oftheOtomau Empire prohibited to the French and English merchants I Russia, which has promised to wave its right as a beli perent power in the Mediterranean, and which subsequently seemed dis posed to confine itself to the block ade of the Dardanelles, now extends to all the coasts of the Ottoman empire a net which its allies cannot breakthrough

Such is the result of Ihe expedi tion to the ^lorea, the effect of which has been to encourage the Russians in their enterprise, and to deliver up Greece to the influence of their policy. It is with the money of France that the Greeks have quitted the Morea, and have taken possession of those coa«ts which are now going to be closed against our commerce.

Our reader* v. ill easily perceive all the consequences that may ari^e from such a .state of things.
