MOH WATER AT LONDON BILIDOI. pm Dimp—almolui IL 11166...4ammi. flu Mr I.ie 11. sii-i. LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 20. IT is now certain that the defloite treaty of pesos will be signed in a few days. Thus is made good the assurance we were enabled to give our readers in our issue of Wednesday, the 12th instant, that "we are warranted in stating that in a very short time—shorter probably than the most sanguine will venture to conjecture—the conclusion of a peace will be publicly proclaimed." The English declaration of war against Russia was published on the 28th of Much, 1844. In that document it is stated that the Btamur bad been obliged. "in self-defence," to declare war spinet Russia, because it had become "manifest that a right for Russia to interfere In the ordinary relations of Toikisti subjects to their sovereign, and not the hap piness of Turkish communities in Turkey, was the object sought by the Russian Government." It is added, that the Queen of ENGLAND nevertheless persevered, in conjunction with her Allies, in her " endeavours to restore pesos between the contending panics." The declaration then goes on to state that —" The time has now arrived when the advice and remonstrances of the Four Powers having proved wholly ineffectual, and the military preparations of Russia becoming daily more extended, it is but too obvious that the Emperor of RUSSIA has entered upon a course of policy which, if unchecked, must lead to the destruction of the Otto man Empire. In this conjuncture her Ma. Jerry fet:a herself called upon, by regard for an Ally, the integrity and independence of whose empire have been recognised as essential to the peace of Europe, by the sympathise of her people with right against wrong, by a desire to avert from her dominions most injurious coasequesom, and to save Europe from t►e preponderate* of a Power which has violated the faith of treaties and defies the opiaion of the civilised world, to take up arms in ootjutction with the Emperor of the Fume for the defence of the SULTAN." The objects enumerated in this "Declaration of Westminster" have been attained. Emit' has relin quished her claim "to interfere in the ordinary re. latioos of Turkish subjects to their sovereign." The Danubian Principalities have been cleared of the invading orioles of Ramis; and a now and mare ad vantageous frontier for these provinces has been secured by obliging Russia to cede a part of its Berorrabien territory. This sans passion mood pates t►e embouchure of the Danube from Russian control, by removing the frontier stations of that Power considerably to the northward. The naviga tion of the Danube is not only wrested from the grasp of Russia, it is saved from subserviency to Austria and Germany by being pleoed underthe protection of a European syndicate. The development of the re sources of the Principalities, and the moral and in tellectual progress of their inhabitants, are provided for by the adoption of measures for the full develop ment of their national legislative and administrative institutions in relation to all their domestic affairs under the suserainete of the Porte. While the Jude pendence and integrity of Turkey are thus provided for in the West, the restitution of Bars gives her sr curity in the East. Turkey has been saved for the present—what guarantees have wa for the future P We WOWS we have little faith in cooveations es amens of binding a Power which, to use the words of the Westminster Declaration, " has violated the faith of treaties and defied the opinion of the civilised world.• It is not easy to make the Ethiopian change his hue or the leopard its spots. We want better security t►an Russian prohesioes; and we thick we can see them. Sebastopol is destroyed. The Rossi= fleet is extirpated from the Itaxine. No naval arsenals are to be permitted to exist on the Bleck Ste or the Sea of Azoff. Free Trade for all nations has been established in them sees, and will be protected by resident consuls in their port,. What ever is undertaken in those regions by any Govern ment must henceforth be nedertaken in the broad light of day. The spirit of commercial enterprise will there supersede the spirit of warlike segreesion. The effects of the champ will be favourable both to Turkey and to Russia : it will segment the power of Turkey; it will abate the insatiate yearnings after territorial 000qamt of Ramis.

These words of the Emperor were received with me mimeos acclamations. THE EAST. MARSEILLES, Winersnair. The Languedoc has arrived from Constantinople, with news to the 10th, Omer Paella had arrived there. the Russians made prisoners by the French were to be taken to Odessa to be exchanged for Turkish priaoners. General Larchey had received orders to return to Francs. The weather was very tempestuous, and the packet from the Crimea bad not arrived. Snow was three teat deep at Constanti nople. The journals of the Turkish capital express their approbation of the article in the Sleds which wee copied into the Monaleur. The Journal de Con stantinople strongly insists on the delimitation of the Russian Transcaucasian frontier. The Armenians and the Greeks have protested against the late hatti scheriff; the Greek petition in particular is directed against Us clauses of the document rela tive to the clergy. Three RussiZ officers have entered the regiments of Ottoman Cossacks. Fares continue of frequent occurrence in the Turkish capital. The Freese d'Orient states that very severe cold existed at Amps. The suns journal declares the health of the troops to be satisfactory. Accordiog to the last accounts from Yinburn. the Russians were actively employed in strengthening the fortifications of Nicolaieff. THE SEA OF AZOFF. A letter from Kertch, under the date of the 2nd, in the Morsitewr de la Roil*, states that when the news of the aresistios bad been made known along the shorn of the Bea of Asoff, it produced a profound sensation of Joy. At Matianopol, Berdiansk, and Olsekk, business, for a long time dead, bad been suddenly resuscitated as it by enchantment; and at Taganrog the news of the armistice had been hailed with enthesium. The armistice was received there with shouts of " Long live the Emperor Alexander !" and at night the houses were 'Humiliated. The imperial foundry, established on the left bank of the Don, has been closed, and this would seem to 000llrm the news of the intention manifested by the Court of Russia to abandon all its maritime establishments on the Black Bee. THE CRIMEA. (mom otrz own coaialrosariwr.) PORTSMOUTH, w IDNIIIDAY NIORT. The Great Tasmania, sailing transport, has arrived from the Crimea with neatly 400 invalids on board. WAR DEPARTMENT, MAid 19. Lord Penman has received iotellipnos from Sir W. Codriogton, under date ➢[arch 16, that the ar mistice had been signed by the awed Generals, and that the exchange of documents would take place on the 16th. A letter from St Petemburg of the 7th, in the Colors Gantt*, says : °The arrival of the remnants of the Black Sea fleet has given rise to nuseross ovations. It is confirmed that these men are destined to replace those who ere about to receive their dis missal in the Baltic fleet.

PARIS, WIDNZIDAT ETININO. _ _ Yesterday the Prussian plenipotentMries sat for the first time in the Copper'. The eleventh meeting of the Cooper will probably take place tomorrow (Thursday.) The following bulletins were issued to-day : Muth 19, 11 a.m. The milk fever of the Empress bee come on in a mild aad regular form. Match 19, half-peat 11. The health el the imperial prince is excellent. The following bulletin of the health of Prince Jerome was issued this morning : The provers towards Nan h 19, half-put 10, cm. %lemmas ontioues. . - The Emperor's various speeches, delivered in an swer to the congratulations offered to him, were not known at the Bourse yesterday, and it might have been supposed that the positive announce meet which they imply that peace lass good as settled would have produced 'considerable effect to-day. Such has not, however, been the case. The over-bought state of the market continues to over-rule all other con siderations. The Rente, after an insignificant ries, closed at 72fr. 55c. and 72fr 75c., with a rise of sc. fat messy, and a fall of sc. for account. Most other securities were better. Credit Mobilier did not main tain the highest quotations of the day, but it realised a ries of Mr. Bank of France role 25fr. Railways were generally Mr., and in one or two instances 10fr., higher. The market, however, was decidedly dull at the close. Admiral Finland, Commander-in-Chief of the Bettie Naval Division, left Paris for Brest on Sunday. _ . . _ _ It is calculated, from statistical tables, that the number of children born in France on March 16, to all of whom the Emperor and the Empress have promised to be godfather and godmother, must be about 2,500. Every one of these children, whose families may be willing to accept it, will receive, I am told, a present of 3,000 fr. It is intended that all the boys shall be christened Louis Eugene, and the girls Eugioie Louise. The proportion of boys to girls born in France is about 45 to 43. The Sieele calls attention to the fact that the nu merous pardons announced in the Monsteur, on the occasion of the birth of the Prince, do not extend to any political offences. A numerous body of the debris of the old Imperial Guard went to the Tuileries yesterday to offer a bouquet to the Empress, and to present their homage to the Imperial infant. This has been the most melancholy day for the promenade of Lougchamps that has been remem bered for many years. It has poured with rain the whole day, the atmosphere is suffocating, there is not air enough to stir a pocket-handker chief, and the city is covered by a dark panoply of low clouds, as thick (but blacker) as a London fog in November. A number of new public carriage!, started by the Imperial Carriage Company, were to make their first appearance to day on the promenade. I minuet say whether they were there I but, at all events, there can have been but few people to look at them. Should this weather continue to-morrow, the Loogchamps fashions, which it has been rumoured were to exhibit un usually striking innovations, can only be stalled in the dressmakers' and tailors' shops. Baumann, the murderer of the Countess de Can moot Laforee, will probably be tried at the begin ning of next month. The annual prise cattle show at Poissy took place to-day, and was fairly attended, notwithstanding the bad weather. The number of animals exhibited was more considerable than last year, and it is affirmed that the quality was better. The grand prise was awarded to the Count de Fallon:, for a Durham- Mallow's ox, which was very much admired. Some sensation has been occasioned by the intelli gemca that the Minister of Public Itstruction and Worship hes desired the Imperial Council of Public Instruction to prepare an expurgated edition of "Le Sigel, de Louis XIV." of Voltaire , so that the work may be toed as a class book. "The Minister," says the Journal General de 1' Instruction Palique,* has thus satisfied the desire of public opinion, and also of fathers of families who would not see their children left in complete ignorance of such • writer as Vol taire, but who, at the same time, would not wish to show them any but the irreproachable parts of the great writer." SWEDEN. Letters from Stockholm state that the mixed com mission charged to prepare the bases of a customs union between the United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway have jut presented an international bill on the subject.

Between the bth and 16th March the Tyne expe rienced trrong gales, with very heavy sea and rain, bat all the remainder of the voyage moderate wea ther. Owing to the West India mail packet Parana getting to St. Thomas late on her last voyage to the West Indies, some of the intercolonial steamers could not return to St. Thomas before the period had ' elapsed for the Parana to leave the latter island for England; and the consequence was that she did not bring home all the regatar mails front the Spanish Main, British Guiana, and the Windward Island.. A double mail from Demerara, Trinidid, and other im portant places in the West Indies has been brought by the Tyne. The island of Jamaica was healthy, with the ex ception of cold and intermittent fever. Great pre parations were making for the opening of an industrial exhibition in March. We regret to perceive an an nouncement of the death of C. C. Jones, Esq., of the Colonial Bank, Sr. Kitts. The outward packet, with the first February mail., did not arrive at Kingston until the 2Sth, being three days late. The bills for promoting education and sanitary reform, sent up from the Assembly, had been rejected by the Legislative Council by a majority of six to two. According to the Kingston Morning Journal, the ' accounts of mining operations at Charing Cross, be longing to the Jamaica Wheal Company, are exceed ingly favourable, and justify sanguine hopes of ulti mate success. Exchange on London, 90 days, 1 per cent. prem. The barque Cambrian and brig Naiad of London, the barque Gleogariff and btigantine St. Lowrance of Liverpool, the brig Gat-laud of Dublin, and the barque Trelawny of Glasgow, had arrived at the port of Kingston. From British Guiana we have accounts of serious organised disturbances which had broken out in Berbice, and for the suppression of which a military force had been despatched by the Governor. The riots, which had their deeper causes in the jealousy of race, were incited by the ravings of a fanatic named Orr, a creole of the colony, whom some of our readers may remember under the name of the "Angel Gabriel," as having caused riots, by similar means, in Greenock last year. A full account of the disorders will be found below. An ordinance had been passed authorising the Governor to enrol and call out the militia. The steamer Tyne had been despatched to Barbadoes for additional troops. Serious disturbances bad taken place at Queens. town and the other parts of Essequibo, the Arabian Coast, and on the Wands of Leguan and Wekspaam. The weather duriog the fortnight had continued very dry, with only aa occasional passing shower. The estates were greatly in want of water, and the growth of the sugar-cane was retarded by the longs continued drought. The work on the estates was almost entirely susper:ded, in consequence of the disturbances throughout the colony. The exports from this colony during the fortnight were very small. Sugar, 603 hogsheads, US fleeces, 179 bar rels ; rum, 278 puncheons, 71 hogsheads, 46 barrel/; molasses, 214 puncheors, 7 barrels; rice, 600 bags; charcoal, 100 barrels; gteenheart timber, 223 logs. There was a complete stagnation of trade amoog the merchants. At Porto Rico the cholera had nearly disappeared; bat ships from that Island were still under quaran• tins. The other island* were healthy. NICARAGUA. The Panama Star reports that " the French are after General Walker." The men-of-war L'Embue. cede wee on its way to Nicaragua to inquire about some property of French subjects, which Walker had taken ea a forced loan. It is added that in Nicaragua itself revolutionary parties are organised, end that Coots Rica is sending a force against him. " On the whole," says the Panama Star, "notwithstanding what the New York papers say in big favoar, we adhere to our old belief that Walker will bare to slope from Nicaragua or lose his life before many months." From Ban Joan del Norte the Panama Star has a slightly different account. Its correspondent writes : The estabrshment of Walker's government is C 312111.• dated emote to be permanent, it he con tnly bold out al weeks longer—or, in °Orr v., rde, if h, can re•iat the forms coming down upon him from Hood ures, consistiog of over flee thou, and m.o.

Flour wes falling in price, being now down to 251. per ton, with very heavy Ftocks on hand. In Melbourne no lees than 8,000 tons of flour and wheat had been stored for want of sale, and several cargoes were on the way. THE DISTURBANCES IN BRITISH GUIANA. Serious disturbances have occurred at Georgetown, Barbie*, and other places throughout British Guiana, and the shops of the Portuguese traders have hers pillaged and deur yd by the negro p tpulstion. It appears that the Portuguese emigrants were brought over to the colony as labourers to work on the sugar estate., but being very thrifty, industrious, and hard-working men, they have con trived to save money enough in • f,w years to start in bud nem as shopkeepirs end nincitaats on theft own account. and generally they have been v. ry successful. Their shops, •h cis are Mattered all over the c logy, hive been a great boon to the labouring populetton, and have been the mew of cheapening all the tourism, of life. Their success has ezated a latent feeling of jealoasy among the Creole perm, a feeling shored by the Africa emigrants and [throes from the ulande. Towards the close of 1855, John Sayers 0 r. better known in England and is America by the cognomen of the " Angel Gabriel," returned to the colony of which he is a Creole, and took up his abode in Georgetown with hie smother.
