PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. /ROM THE GAZETTE DE !HANCE, 5. CONSTANTINOPLE, FAL 26. A hatti-seheriff of the Sultan calls to arms all the population of the environs of the capital, and of the Dardanelles. The attention of the Government seems to be directed more to the capital than io the Danube. Yesterday a column of 6,400 Asiatics marched to the forts of the Dardanelles, where .a new fort has been built and fortified with great celerity. It is said that the Seraskier, Husseiu Pacha, will shortly set out for Adrianople, to which place he has been preceded by a great number of regular and irregular troops. The chief Admiral 'exec is gone to the Dardanelles, where the vessels lately equipped have joined the vessels of Tatar Pacha, which have returned from Mytelene. It is doubted whether the plans and projects of the American officers for closing the canal will be carried into effect. Cazi Mu:tapha, who had commanded for several years the Felts on the Hellespont, has been suc ceeded in that post by Hafiz Ali, formerly Cvitart Pacha, who displays great activity in the preparations for defence. It is reported that a considerable corps of troops will be placed in the government of E: serum, to oppose the Russian corps which might come from t to Asiatic side. The Erman of the 10th January, according to which the Armenians have been banished, is now known. Neither their religion or their pretendei attachment to any foreign interest is alleged as a reason for the mea sure, but merely the excessive increase of the people in this capital and the environs. VIENNA, Masai 24. A Russian courier, who left Sr. Petersburgh on the 12th of March, brings the communication of the Rus sian Cabinet, according to which the Emperor of Russia is resolved to put his army in motion, and to march against the Perte. ,The manner in which this . Posse' has acted latterly, patticularly in endeavouring to em• ploy its influence to prolong the misunderstanding be. Malt Russia and Persia, that in which it not only insulted the Russian nation in its Manifesto, but also plainly intimated that it did Dot intend to remain faith ful to the most faithful engagements, and thought not to execute the Convention at A ker mann, escept accord ing to its own pleasure—a conduct which would en. danger the interest, and even the safety, not only of Russia, but also of the people under its protection— seemed to have been the principal motives which have induced the . Russian Cabinet to make war upon the Porte. Russia makes an essential difference on this occasion between the question which concerns itself exclusively and that of the intervention; and though it promises to conform punctually to the Treaty of the 6th of July, and protests that it has no views of con quest, it considers a longer inaction as incompatible with its honour, and intends to make the affairs of Greece subordinate to its own. It is supposed, there tore, to have given to the' contracting Powers the assurance that it will remain attached to the interven tion only sofas as its object shall be the independence of Greece. The Emperor Nicholas intended to leave St. Petersburgb on the 20th of April for the army. There was a general illumination at St. Petersburg! on account of the peace w ith Persia.—Augsburg Gazette. MADRID, MUM 24. The Spanish troops, which were going to form the new garrison of Cadiz, have received orders to halt at Seville, whence it is inferred that the evacuation of that place by the Ftench troops is not so near as was supposed. The news frarn Portugal varies according to the wishes, the hopes, or the caprice of the authors. The frequent arrivals of Expresses from Lisbon seems to show that there are important communications be• tween the two Cow ts. PARIS. Arms 2. An engraving, called the " Dream of Maria Louisa," has been publicly exhibited in Paris. She i. represented asleep, and her son at her feet.

We do not know whether the Ministry has permitted the publication of this engraviog; bat if it has not committed the fault of permitting it, will it com mit that of now allowing it? " SMYRNA, Fn. IS. 44 I this morning received the following intelligence from Scio, by an [ocean vessel, that came in from that Island in the course of kesterday " Oa the 29th Januarikthe Turks in the castle, who are nearly as numerous as their besiegers, made a des petite and unexpected sortie, The Greeks, who have Illedreir the negligence and want of foresight of their late tyrnews,, were driven front their positions, and a considerable portion of them muted repie aux ivies, fae.beyond the town, in the direetion of the Mastic vil- Colonid Fabvier, however,. very ably remedied -Ile disaster, and retrieved the pertial disgrace of his taiaps. fleeing that the Turks, engaged in wild pus salt, bad neglected all thoughts of the means of re= treat to the fortress, be formed in their rear, takiafi up positions caladated at once to annoy them, 04 Pro- Oct his own men, when the Turks, outstripped in the race by the lighter Hellenists, did reliant to wards their quarters , a usurderoup fire, directed by uosern hands, ta among *em, and made them falter.

Three gallant youths i.t.prildeotly followed the enemy across the lowered drawAsidge to the outer gate of the castle, where they were butchered by el at enraged and humi [fated Turks. These are retiieving features in Week warfare, and while we may regret that their occurrence has of late been so rare, we may derive pleasure from the idea that the spriit of Indent Hellas is not yet ex rinct. Unlortunat&y , Mr. Finlay, a Scotch Gentleman, well known for his long attachment to II e Greek cause, was shot through the head at the first attack, as be as attempting to rally a body of men under his command. Mr. Finlay was the nephew of a wealthy merchant of Glasgow, and himself possessed of a handsome indepen dence; he repaired to the Morea at an early period of the Greek struggle. In February, 1824, he became acquainted with Lord Byron, to whom, and to Prince Mavrocordato, both then at Missolonglii, he acted as a conciliatory Envoy from Ulysses and other refractory Chiefs. At the request of Lord Byron, Mr. Finlay, with two other Gentlemeu, to -k charge of powder and other military stores fotwarded from Missolonghi to Ulysses, for his war in Negropont On crossing the stream of the Phidari, wbeth had been much swollen by the rains, he missed the ford, lost his baggage, and very nearly his life. He continued, one of the few Philhellene' onetib dued by disappointment and disgust, steady to the cause he had voluntarily embraced ; for that cause he em ployed all his energies and all his fortune, and has sealed his devotion with his life's blood I _ _ " - le fell dead on the spot where he received the wound, and a moment of suffering concluded a bold and adventurous life! In common with other of the civilized countries of the world. England has sent forth, since the Greek revolution, numbers of false enthusiasts, and discontented vagabonds, who have done all they could to blacken the cause they wereuot calculated to advance, and which (they found to their - disappointment and sorrow) was not calculated to advance them. With regard to the foul stock-jobbers, who fattened on the' loan destined for a despairing and famishing people, she, I fear, must claim an odious pre-eminence ; yet in spite of these. her worthless sons, who have rendered the name of Philhellene a name of opprobrium, Eng land may be proud when she cites the part the wealthy old the noble of er land have played °nibs troublesome scene of Greece. The name and fate of Byron alone will secure the admiration of ages; nor will the world be forgetful of another of Britain's noblest sons, of Lord Charles Murray (son of the Duke of Athol).—, This amiable and benevolent young man, who had been bred-up in luxury and ease, underwent every spe cies of fatigue, and submitted to every possible privais tion, in order to encourage the Greeks by his example, and to be able to furnish them With mean:, from his far too limited income. Nothing seemed to him degrading that could contribute a mite to the adored cause, and the noble son of the lofty Scottish Thane has bi eq seen, day after day, giving lessons of the broad sword to a pack of ragged• Greeks ! So active was this young No bleman's charity, so little did lie case for self, that when, after an inflammatory disorder, brought on by his con stant exposure to an unhealthy climate, and under a burning sun, he expired on a solitary p diet. far from all his friends and connections, an Englishman, who had an jest iti time to close his eyes,on taking an inventory of his effects, found them to consist of nothing more than two old shirrs. a pair or two of stockings, a brace ul pistols, a sabre, and a Bibk., Every thing had gone to assist the impoverished Greek and the distressed Frai , k volunteers in their ranks. The Gentleman who raid him the lea sad offices had. a few months before, owed him his life. Lord Charles, though at the time a perfect stranger, waited unre mittingly, with the cue of an affectionate brother. by his bed-side, until (more fortunate than he was to be himself) he saw him rise from it with recovered health. Poor Lord Charles, when I had the honour of 'your l acquaintance in Italy, I was far from imagining that your career was so nearly run, and that that warm heart and intellecteal bead were so soon to be as nothing! a You will have discovered long ere this letter reach you, that the destruction of the Greek fleet off Scio, by the French Admiral de Rigny, which most of the Lon don Papers have been so eloquent and argumentative upon, is a mere fable. It is true that the Island of Scio •dties not lie within the very narrow limits the Allied l Admirals thought expedient to prescribe to the excur laions of the armed vessels of the Gieeks; but that por tion of the Greek fleet tivt landed the forces that now occupy Scio was out at sea, and the Island was blockaded, as you may perceive, by referring to, my letter, dated Chesrr.e, Oct. 6, a considerable time being the declaration of the Allies was made. The Greek forces once disembarked, in the possession of advan tages over the enemy, and being joined by the Greek population of the Island, could hardly be expected to retire ; nt r do I know, though one or two English Com manclas, and once, I believe, De Rigny Inane, had. communications with them, that such a measure was ever requested or proposed. " It was only a day or two since that we learned the loss of the Cambrian frigate at Carabuss. On account of Captain Himilton, who is universally. esteemed, this unfortunate circumstance has occasioned great regret. 46 Letters from Malta state, that Alexandria is held in a'sfate of blockade by ships of the Allies, and that the greatest anxiety is entertained respectilg the result of Mr. Cradi•ck's new mission to the Pacha of Egypt. " FEBRUARY 16.—The master of a vessel under Aus. trim colours, which has arrived to-day, aserts that the ,ague has made its appearance at Negropont, and the and of Z a. The sad news rests merely 04 his asser tion—let us hope that it be not confirmed ! F rmine, the sword, and the flames, have alreaciy done enough in the devoted regions, wiithout having the plague to com plete the catalogue q 1 hornets. " FEB 17.—Lord Prudos arrived at Szyrna to-day' in company with Major Felix. Since their departure from this place, about two months ago, they have been for the most part among the islands of the Archipelago, where, for the gratification of a laudable spirit of lcuriosity and research, they have been subjected to great privations. His Lordship is, however, in excellent health, and determined to go forward to see Constantinople, if the Pacha here will give him the necessary passports. a We are still perfectly peaceful here. The town, however, at this moment, is not the quietest of places, for (strange, though true!) the lower orders of the Greeks and Franks are indulging in the fracas and vagaries of the Carnival, without any attempt on the part of the Turks to interrupt themt—New 'l tarmta. Lord COCHRANE lives in a very retired way in Paris, and does not mix much tithes in political or social cir cles,- so that though, before his arrival in Paris, the' association of his name with the independence of Greece bad procured him some celebrity, he now excites no more attention than any other private Gentleman.

This morning also, dispatches, were brought to the Foreign Office, Downing street, by a Prussian Messenger from Berlin. The French Papers of Wednesday, and the Gazette de France dated Thursday, reached us last night. The former are chiefly filled with political discussions, or with letters respecting the approaching elections of Paris, to fill up the vacancies left by the late double returns. The intelligence from Constantinople, con. I mined in the latter, is of no later a date than the 26 h of Feb - nary, and is, for the most part, a repetition of what has already been stated, relative to the prepara tions making by the Porn for the defence of the capi tal and the Medusals—the attention of the Govern ment, it is said, being more directed towards the safety of Constantinople than to the defence of the line .1 the Danube. If we may credit an article dated Vienna, March 24, the definitive resolution of the Em peror, of RUSSIA to put his army in motion against the PORTZ. was communicated to the Austrian Cabinet; and it is 'tam!. the EMPEROR intended to leave Sr. Pe tersburgh on the 20th April, for the purpose of joining the army. The following letter has t ern received at the North and Mouth American Coffee-house, dated _ " BELiza, Fes. 20. al You will be shocked to hear of the murder of the British Consul at Guatemala, J. O'Reily, E•q. Revenge and the desire of plunder seem to have actuated the wretched culprit, a native of the Republic, and house sr rvant of the Consul. •• Mr. Herring had a narrow escape. He slept that night (being the first of his arrival) at the Consul's; he fortunately heard nothing, as, from the confession of the murderer, since apprehended and executed, it appears that he had two accomplices at Mr. Herring's door, in order to silence him, should they hear any thing stirring in his apartment. Mr. -- gives a lamentable picture of affairs in the interior. The capital was, however, considered secure from invasion ; should it once fall into the hands of the San Salvador party► that event would be fatal both to the lives and property of tho European Spaniards; till then, both will be comparatively safe, altboogh the latter ate frequently and heavily drawn upon'ty the Federal Government. A few weeki will make a great change, or other things cannot remain lung as they ate." We received this morning the Algeweine Zeiting to the 30th ult. It contains a copy of the Farman for the apulsion of the Armenian Catholics of Angora from the capital. It is conceived in the true spirit of Turkish bat bdrity and insolence. No objection is made to their aelasion, nor is it pretended that they had given any cause for suspicion of their fidelity; but they were very much increasing in numbers in the city and its envi rons.

Through the last measures of the Porte, which have led to the suspension of all inter- course with the ports of the South of Russia and the Levant, our trade is at the present moment in a state of almost total stagnation. The merchants are looking forward with great impatience for some favourable in fluence to put an end to this stagnati us. As we used to import large quantities of corn from Odessa and the ports of the East, this interruption, together with the late permission to import corn into the ports of France, has caused a rapid and considerable rise in the prices.
