CONSTANTINOPLE, Aran. 30. The moment is come to see whether Turkish policy has not been mistaken in its calculations. The great body of the Mussulmans minifests no enthusiasm, and the armaments are carried on with a degree of hike warmnesswhich leaves no doubt of the ill will of Orel great men Of the Empire. The desire of peace is general. Husney will not take the command of the troops at Adrianople ; except upon certain conditions, and the other Commanders refuse, like the Janissariesl of old, to leave the capital.

It COLOMBIA. The following letter contains some interesting par ticulars respecting the difficulties with which Bolivar has to contend sitice his return from Peru to reorganize Colombia: EXTRACT OP A LETTER, DATED KINGSTON, JAMAICA, APRIL 18. Our communications with Colombia are very slack, owing to the complete stagnation of trade there, IA hick' has materially tended to curtail our intercourse. As, however, you ate anxious to receive accounts from that quarter, I will recapitulate what we learn by the last arrivals. Bolivar, since his return from Pens, has been almost heart-broken, on seeing the country which he had lett united at home, and respected abroad, sunk into a state the most abject, and immersed in debt. He had also the mortification to find that, whilst he was fighting his Country's battles, in a distant and dan gerous clime, a party had been formed to supplant him in public esteem. He also saw that party supported by a noMber.of the clergy, even those of most power and influence; •and with greater regret he witnessed that an attempt had been made to revive the Old animosities and dissentiotis Get. , een Venezuela and -New Aftanasha, with a view to separate them. All this required of him the utmost precaution, and he paused, till he discovered how 'far the evil had spread, and saw to what extent he could rely on sup port. His late residence in Bogota has been com pletely one of o b servation, and in the interval he has known how to distinguish his enemies from his friends, and to appreciate the patriotism of some, now wal lowing in wealth, while he himself, after all his ser vices, has scarcely the command of a dollar—at least, as far as his own privy purse goes. He has long seen that a great effort was necessary to rescue tie country from impending ruin, and he directed that the "Grand Convention" should assemble avd deliberate on the measures to be adopted under the present difficulties. Beyond all doubt, dictatorial powers will be confided to him, this being the only alternative now left, and it will also be decided in what manner the law of re sponsibility can be enforced against public functiona ries who have abuse., the confidence reposed in them, and enriched themselves at the expense of the State. It is expected that a complete return will be made out of the whole appropriations of the proceeds of the loans raised in England, in order that every one may see where the money is gone, and how much the Government has been plundered by surcha, ges,and duped by false agents. On these topics, Bolivar is known to have expressed him self with great warmth, declaring, that all shall conic to daylight, this being an act of justice due to his own country, as well as to those who are the real creditors of the State, for whose relief he is extremely anxious. He is not, however, without his tears of something se rious happening, as may be seen by the last words in his Proclamation of 3d of March, in which he says to the people of Bogota, " If unexpected troubles - over. take you, I will fly to your rescue." 8 nne persons who expect to be called to account, would gladly plunge their country. into a civil war, in order to avoid respon• sibility. Bolivar, however, is firm and deciied, and this will be seen as soon as he is in an attitude to execute his plans. In the meanwhile, his presence is necessary on the coast; nut that he dreads the landing of the Spaniards; but because he must discover what parti sans they have in the country. The preparations in Havannah are certainly formidable; but they would not occasion a moment's uneasiness, if the internal fiend of disunion had not crept in among the Colombians. Fortunately lor them Bolivar is still at their head, and fortunately for the English creditors he is a man of honour„and grateful. - • PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. SMYRNA, APIUL 18. The state of suspense and uncertainty among the Franks of this great commercial city, which I have had so treqiiently to refer to these last six *months, still pre vails, without change ormedifiCation ; and the impor tant problem, whether they are to be permitted to re main in safety and tranquillity, or be forced to abandon their homes and their interest, is still unsolved. This unpleasant state is net, however, generally accompanied with much alarm; and even the last intelligence of the menacing attitude of Russia, and the apparent inevita bility of war, have not shaken their confidence in the moderation and bonholtiie of the Turks, nor prevented them from repairing, as usual, to their country resi dences at the beautiful villages of Bournabat and Buudja. The most perfect order continues to reign. The Ramazann of the Turks, 'that season of fisting And . mortification, and consequent all•liumour, his 'passed off without any of those scenes o f i nto l era n ce and ex asperation it has too frequently elicited, and the , hree days of the grand festival, the Bairam, ex tired in the most tranquil mane er yes , ei , !ay eveaing.. Oa Monday evening, when the long moon of the Ra• inazann changed the joyful passage fr o m penance and ihnegat ion to feasting and enjoyment,.it was announced' by the artillery of 'hr Castle, which were followed. by the discharge of innumerable firearms, and the almost. instant:olefins illuminatiOn of all the Minarets and prin• cipai Kiosks of the city. The ne t of this, seen from 1 % the bay, was striki ng ly b eaut if u . On former years the. Turks were accust o me d, d ur i ng t e Wintry, to range through th e s t reets , fi ling of their pistols, without heed - rug whether they were loaded with balls, or where the ',ails might strike—it was dangerous for a Frank to hlw hos lace; and the three riotous days were hardly -.o'er known to pass without several Christians falling victims to the Mussitlmin's carelessness or brutality. this year the strictest orders were given by the Plebs o prevent these disgraceful and ridiculous excesses; and a Turk, who wounded an lonian boatman on the ' tray, was immediately arrested by the guard, a n d carried to prison, *here he still retnains,,tbough he and his comrades Allege that the 'Ristol went off accidentally, , "sd-offer if enwspensation in inoney ter the Sllfrerer. The Greek • Mali Weelt, and the Fesi teal of Easter, ~hich fell in the course of the Ramatann; were cele brated whli unusual eclat, and were mocked by a novel' privilege—a singular favour.....of which the Greeks are exceedingly proud. Until this . year, their grand pro cession on Good Friday Was confined to the limits of the square which surrounds their Church, and which is enclosed with lofty walls, but now they were permitted to issue into the principal street, and, to throw open the great door of their temple. It would be difficult for a person unacquainted with the immoderate attachment these people entertain for the rites and 'ceremonies of their religion.(an attachment, inched, which they extend to every spec4s of display and parade), to imagine how high a valtie they. plkce on this favour, and how ardent theynre in their hopes that it will be extended to fu ture years. On the Saturday night, I was present at the celebration of the grand mass and the other tete; monies with which they mark the awful mystery of the resurrection. The remembrance of Rome and the Church of. St. Peter's was inimical to any thing like admiration ; but when the venerable looking Bishop, his Clergy, and the immense . multitude assembled, - every one bearing a long Wan torch, and marching in procession rdtind the exterior of the Church,' the scene was very interesting. There were said .to be upwards of five thousand' torches in motion. - the Bishop of Smyrna has received orders Irons the Patriatch of the Greek Church at Constantinople, to see that • all the Greeks her'e, Who, availing themselves of the' plotectiott of. foreign Consuls, have presumed to adopt the Frank dress, resume immediately the cos tume distinctive of their cast ; to do this he is to employ his spiritual influence, and, in case of need, to apply to the temporal power of the Pacha. As nothing is to be opposed to these all potent means, many reforms in the toikliehave.already taken place. 'Another carious order of the Sultan's, which I have heitd proclaimed by the public el ler, here and in several other towns of Asia Minor, is, that henceforth no. Turk must wear lace or embroidery of gold or silver, or any expensive orna ment of the sort. Tills law, indeed, is severely irnpoeed in the Koran, where the greatest simplicity of dress is pre scribed, yet no people on earth go into greater extremes on the other side than the Turks. Besides refer ring to the law of the Prophet, the Sultan ultimates, that the mo ment may be approaching that the Osinanlis will have to struggle with the Giaours for their existence' as a people—that under such circumstances • the last pars must go to the Government coffers—arid that it will oe doubly sinful to employ in reprobated %rano:es what might contribute to the cause of their faith. I have not observed that these proclamations have effected much. During the Bairam the Turks have been flaunt ing about in robes of all the ergot's: of the rainbow, and he was a poor devil indeed who did not show some gold or silver embroidery on his jacket. On the ISth inst.our sloop of war the Wolf came to anchor in the bay ; the next morning the Raleigh, that had been so long here, sailed for Carabusa. The Wolf and the Alacrity brig ate the only English ships of war here, but Corn modoreSra isles is expected daily. Two English merchantmen, the Thula and the New Albion, arrived this morning from Odessa —they left Constantinople on the 13th inst. and had no difficulty in passing the Dirdanellrs. The non-arrival of certain vessels that were expected from Malta, has created some uneasiness among the merchants, who are apprehensive (with what reason I know not) that they. have been pi evented, by orders of Government, fi om pro. , ceeding to the Levant, and thence deduce the probability of England's being about to engage in hostilities with Turkey. Lord Prudhoe and Maj. Felix arrived in Smyrna, from Constantinople, on the 3d inst. His Lord ship was in perfect health, delighted with the interest ing journey he had made, and well satisfied with the manner in which be had been every where received by the Turks. They sailed from Smyrna on the 6th instant, for Alexandria, with the intention of visiting Syria and Palestine. Since the departure of the, Greek forces from Scio, matters seem to have been conducted by the Turks with 'prudence and moderation. 'the Pacha of the Island has invited the• Greek inhabi tants who fled to Ipsara and other places,- on the land ing of the Turks, to return to their homes and their property, giving them the most solemn assurances that not a hair of their heads shall be injured. No acts of piracy have been heard of for a considerable time, and vessels now frequently venture the passages of the Ar chipelago without convoy. The Samiotes continue their predatory incursions on the Continent with increas. ing audacity and success, no longer confining them selves to the - coasts of Asia Minor; they frequently penetrate far into the interior, and then retreat to their boats, carrying off flocks and herds, and men, women, and children, as slaves ; thus renewing in our days one of the most prominent features of that age of violence and robbery which we have had the complaisance to style heroic. The last Courrier de Smyrne, the ci-devani Spear:lair Oriental,.contains the copy of a letter ad dressed by Colonel 'Fabvier to President Count Capo d'lstria, explanatory of the disgraceful winding-up of the Greek attempt to gain possession of Scio, and tendering his resignation. It appears, by a Note placed at Lloyd's, that the Buenos Ayrean States have at length taken some mea lures to repress the shameless piricy which has so long been committed, under the colour of their flag, by ves sels unautbotiaed with commissions from that Go-
