Turkish ships of war, two of which were frigates.— The cause of these hostilities was stated to be, that the Amt•rican Ambassador had not been received.— In the Morea all are under arms, and the warlike in habitants of the Peninsula were formidable both by s ea and land. Neither Captain Cocoli, nor the Cap tains of two other vessels that arrived after him, ven tured to bring any letters, least they might fall, on the way, in the bands of the Turks, and the writers at Constantinople be exposed to the greatest danger.-- The three vessels above-meutioned were chiefly filled with fugitives. * MARCH 44. —T0-day, after the arrival of the packet-boat, the following improbable news were circulated : g , On the morning of the 20th of Match, a large Atimbet of Greek vessels, under the Russian flag, from all parts of the Archipelago, appeared in the Roads of Constantinople : it was affirmed that there were at least 25,000 Greeks on board. Their arrival excited general alarm, and the Turkish Government wished to enforce the right of visiting them ; but Baron Strogonoff threatened to depart immediately if the flag of his nation was not respected. The Sul tan, it was said, sent for the Greek Patriarch, pro bably to employ him as mediator. This was the state of things when the packet-boat sailed on the goth in the evening. But it is likely that there may soon be a dreadful massacre at Constantinople." KRAJOWA, IN WALLACHIA, MARCH 211. Several vessels which left Constantinople on the 20th inst. and arrived at Odessa on the 22d, brought the Princes Suzzo, Caraggia, Kangerli, and others who had fled from that city, with the news that the whole capital was in motion, and all the Greeks en deavouring to escape by sea. Above fifty families had fled to the sea of Marmora. The hotel of the Russian Minister was crowded with persons who had placed themselves under his protection. Callimachi, Prince of Walachia, is said to have been beheaded, because he had not informed the Porte in tiny of the insurrection, and Prince Morusi is said to have been appointed in his room. Orders were given to fit out the fleet, but sailors could not be found, though seventy piastres per month were offered. Many Greeks have fallen in a bloody battle near Rudschuk, a town in the Turkish province of Bul garia, containing about 30,000 inhabitants. JASSY, MARCH 12. • The number of the newly enlisted troops with which Prince Ypsilanti set out for the Danube amounts, ac cording to certain intelligence, to only 3,000 men, but it will soon be greatly increased by the reinforce ments which arrive from all quarters ; for whichever way we turn, volunteers appear and hasten to join him. LEIPSIC, APRIL 15. All the young Greeks who are studying in Ger man Universities, as well as all others who are tra velling on commercial business, and those who are residing in foreign countries, have received sum monses in writing to repair to their own country, otherwise they will be declared to have forfeited the property they possess in it. According to letters from Italy and France, many former French Officers, some of whom had entered the Neapolitan wrvice, and others who were wholly out of employment, have gone, provided with passports, to Moldavia, to offer their services to Prince Ypsilanti. ST. PETERSBURGH, APRIL 4. The Greeks have now formally raised the standard of independence. They have commenced the bloody contest with the Turks. The Greeks settled in many cities of Southern Russia, not only in Odessa, but in Nicolojeio, Sewostopal, &c. have hastened to join their countrymen. Counsellor Speransky, Governor-General of Sibe ria, and Prince Gallitzin, Military Governor of Mos cow, are arrived here. It is said, that several Go vernors-General of the Interior Provinces will come here, by the Emperor's orders. BRANDENEURGH, APRIL 17. His Highness the Prince Chancellor is expected at Berlin on the '2oth. The Greeks who were studying at Berlin, have, under the present circumstances, returned to their own country. We published, a few days ago, the application of GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS to obtain letters of naturaliza. Lion in Norway. That request was transmitted by the Norwegian Diet to the reigning Monarch for his instructions, who gave the following reply : His Majesty recognises the loyalty of the Intentions of the late King Gustavus Adolphus, but the Act of the Kingdom (Reicksocte), the compact en which the union of the two nations is founded, points out the course which the Diet has to pursue. Policy, in accordance with this compact, reposes on the funda7 mental principle, taught by Nature herself, ' never to deviate in any manner from the true meaning and intention of a compact.' " The Peninsula of Scandinavia forms a whole of which an the Pent are united for the defence, the glory, and the honour of the country. The numerous families and individuals who constitute this whole feel the pressiag necessity of mutual aid and support. 44 The security of social order, the guarantee of the right of PrePert), and other effects which may be acquired by industry, should be assured by the two legitimate Authorities, the Go 'annum and the Legislature. The tranquillity of the North, the scrupulous observance of the antitntion by which the two Nations are governed, are motives of which the Petitioner him *elf aigl, without doubt, acknowledge the importance. Men, "arenas States, are subject to destiny ; nothing escapes the pro tecting care of the Blocs Hun; and when Nations have corn id th e oranisation of their Government, the duty of indi uals is subiniuion ! H ie Majesty assures the Diet of Norway of his entire good wishe s . N Seachholns, March 17." 1 WINDSOR, APRIL 23. This day being the celebration of his MAJESTY'S Birth, the town was full of strangers of all ranks. At two o'clock, the Troops quartered here marched into the long 'walk of the Park, the Royal Horse Guards on horseback, with their Band in front in full uniform and playing, followed by the Foot Guards ' from the Infantry Barracks, with their fifes and drums playing, and colours flying. They took their station in the right of the long walk, the Royal Horse Guards first, and the Guards to their left, when each Band played God save the King, and then they commenced firing from the right to the left a feu de joie three times, after which the Bands again played God save the King. The company were numerous to see them, amongst whom was the Earl of YARMOUTH There is to be a grand dinner of upwards of two hundred, in the Town Hall. In the evening grand illumina tions will take place. THE ARMY. Four troops of the 6th Dragoon Guards arrived in Gloucester on Thursday, from Birmingham, and on the following morning proceeded on their route to Bristol, there to embark for Ireland. Wednesday, a number of men belonging to the 6th Royal Veteran Battalion, arrived at Leith, from Heligoland, for the purpose of being discharged. Major•BouLciaa, commanding the 2d Royal Ye tefan Battalion, now quartered at Waterford, has re ceived the necessary directions for discharging about 150 men of that Corps, who wish to settle in that country. This measure is preparatory to the em barkation of the Regiment for England, in the en suing month. The Scots Grey‘quartered at Cork, have received a route for England. A detachment of the Royal Artillery, from Wool wich, marched into Nottingham, on Tuesday se'n night, and after halting for the night, they pursued their route, through Mansfield, for Yorkshire. The 4th, or Queen's Own Light Dragoons, are to replace the 17th, at Bombay; and the 18th Hussars are to take the place of the Bth, in Bengal. They are expected to embark and sail before the end of the present year. Wednesday, two troops of the 7th Dragoon Guards arrived in Coventry, where they are to remain.

RUSSIAN COMMERCE. " UKASE TO THE DIRECTING SENATE. Desirous of affording further encouragement to the indus try of our faithful subjects engaged in the manufacture of cot ton and silk goods, and also of encouraging the cultivation of vineyards in the southern provinces of the empire, and the pre paration of various sorts of liquors' from grapes and varicus sorts of fruits, we have thought proper to augment the interior or consumption duty on foreign articles of these descriptions. We add to the above a moderate increase of the consumption duty on coffee and sugar, and order that the interior or coo gumption duty on the said articles be levied at the Custom houses, according to the accompanying register duly confirmed by us. (Signed) " ALEXANDER. " Laybach, Feb.lo, 1821." Another document in regard to Poland is as follows : " IMPERIAL UKASE " For the encouragement of trade at the fairs of Warsaw, it was enacted by our .Ukase, dated October 3, 1820, that a deduct tion of 10 per cent. skpuld be made from the duties paid at the Custom-house at Wattaw on all foreign articles transported from the above fairs info the empire of Russia. Having,.by our Ukase of this day, raised the interior or consumption duty on several foreign articles specified in the ac companying schedule, we order that, Instead of 10 per cent. a deduction of 20 per cent. shall be made from those articles at the Castom-house at Warsaw, when transported from the above fairs into the empire of Russia. (Signed) " Laybach, Feb. 10, " ALEXANDER."

There was the greatest held of sports men that has been known for many years, and the spectators on foot were numerous. TMs fine deer at first crossed the Bath road, and ran across the enclosures towards Dittos Park, to the left of Datchet, towards Horton to the right of Colnbrook, taking to the right of Stanwell towards the Staines road, where it took to the left, back by Stanwell; it then ran with great swiftness across Hounslow Heath, and again crossed the Bath road to the right of the Magpies, and ran towards Drayton and Armsworth, where he was taken after a hard run of some hours. BOXING. The amateurs of the milting art were divided yesterday, as two battles were fought in different directions; but before we describe either of them we must give a sketch of a brave com bat which took place for twenty guineas, at eight o'clock on Monday evening, on the Green over Waterloo Bridge, between Roebottoes, a respectable tradesman, and a Miller, from Lambeth, in consequence of a dispute about a dog. This was made to ►e as much in private as possible, and the evening was selected for it, bur the ring was much crowded. Cropley and Warwick seconded Roebottom, and the Miller was picked up by two of his companions. It was a slaughtering fight, and with equal advantages the first quarter of an hour. In the 7th round, Roebottnm went in with much gaiety, and floored his adversary by a right-banded hit, which groggificd him, and gave Roebottom the best of it for several rounds. In the 12th round, which was a very manly one at equal fighting, the Miller floored his adversary, but he had the worst of it afterwards, and in the 16th round, when the Miller, to use a technical phrase. was dead beat, Roebottom was thrown, and broke his lee, which alone could have won the Miller the battle. SECOND FIGHT. A slashing battle wal fought yesterday, to the northward of the Regent's Park, between Ames Brown, a ten-stone man, sad a carpenter of the name of AMU. This was a slice of amusement for Twelve Pounds, between two rare good men, hut Jones had more than a atone of weight over his adversary. Shelton and Sampson seconded Brown, and Jones was seconded by two of his brother chips ; and, to throw a light upon the mill, Gas was the umpire. ROUND 1. This was severely contested with long lunging hits, which told on the sides of each head; it ended in Jones being thrown heavily. E. Both eager to go in, they made severe play for four mi nutes, when Jones's nose was tidily laid open, and the claret Sew like ginger beer from a bottle. He went down with the bit.— The fight continued a slashing one, to the advantage of Brown, until the 12th round, when Jones was bit down, and he had no chance afterwards ; but his seconds kept him up to the scratch as long as he could stand. In the 15th round Brown was de clared the victor. THIRD FIGHT, Between the Sprig of Myrtle (Bzown), and the Gay Ifortd Boy (Bozeman), for Twenty Pounds a-side, on Mitcham Common. —Yesterday the Fancy postponed attending to the attractions of Greenwich and Stepney Fairs, till Whitsuntide; and the lots of Amateurs which were seen early on the road, put all the Boni faces into good humour, under the idea of turning some of the loose cask of the holiday people to account. The ring was capa cious, and well made, and some thousands of persons were round it. Brown, although defeated in his late battle with the scientific Curtis, is still so important an article in the Boxing Ring, that Oliver, Martin, Scroggins, Curtis, Richmond, the new Black, &c. were on the ground, to witness his efforts. He was the fa vourite (live to four), from being well known. Horsham bad also a good character for game qualities; but it was his first appear ance in the Prize Ring, and he was at least ten pounds the heaviest. At two o'clock, Brown ' followed by Josh. Hudson and Files , as his seconds, threw his hat into the Ring; and Horsham shortly afterwards repeated the token of defiance, and Elks and Bailey were his handkre. The combatants were nearly of a height, and both appeared in good condition. Rooms 1. The attitude of Brown was interesting, and the points he &hewed was a convincing proof that he was well acquainted with the manceuvres of the Prize Ring. Horsham appeared confident, and he might be termed a liUk big matt from his mus cular frame. Some little pause occurred, when Brown let fly with his right hand at the body, but it fell short. After another pause, Horsham endeavoured to plant a heavy bit, but 'Brown broke ground in good style ; Horsham rushed in, made a slight hit or two, and bored Brown to the ropes, when, after some ex changes in struggling for the throw, Brown went doivn under most.—" Bravo, Young Sparrow-grass I" from the market coy*— " Shake it out of him!" _ _ _ 2. Horsham gave some Pepper-alley touches, but they were random shots. He also bored Brown again to he ropes, when the Gay Market Boy wig It, but be got Brown down. Five to four on the latter. E. The Sprig of Myrtle now began to spew his superiority by isc46ing his opponent and getting away. He also put in a wisty ceder on the ribs; but the strength of Horsham enabled hini to throw Brown out of the ropes, and he also fell down himself. 4. This round made Brown the favourite (seven to four). In closing, the Sprig fibbed his opponent in the Randall style ; and when tired of hammering he got Horsham down.—" The West minster boys were all in the stirrups," and they now offered to sport their blunt like waste paper. 5. Horsham came up to the scratch an altered man, from the severe liMing he bad received in the last round, which the old Westminster Champion, Caleb Baldwin, called a " bit of good truth I" The skill here displayed by Brown was admirable ; be manouvred about till he got his opponent with the sun on his face, when be planted a nobber, and got away. Horsham, how ever, put in some heavy hits, till both went down. 6. In struggling at the ropes, in a most singular manner, both of the combatants, like two tumblers, went heels over head.. 7. Horsham 'hewed good game, but.he depended upon his rushing qualities. He missed his aim, and Brown nabbed him severely, till both went down. 8,8, 10, 11, 18, 15, 14. In all these rounds Brown more or leas took the lead; but Horsham was too hardy to be beaten off hand : the face of the latter was by this period terribly punished, and his eyes were rather damaged. 15, 16,17, Vt. Three and four to one had been offered by the Westminster buys, but this was thought to be a sort of flourish ; however Brown, like a careful experienced miller, kept taking the lead, yet doing nothing rxst.y. Horsham was still strong, and endeavoured to bore Brown down. 19. Something like a wrangle was tried on; but the umpires would not have it ; and " Foul, foul !" was lustily called out, as well as opposed by Fair, fair 1" In struggling at the ropes, Brown got his man nearly down, and would have dropped him, I but Horsham kept hitting up at his opponent, and would not quit . • 1 his hold.—A guinea to a crown. 20. Horsham was exhausted, andajain received severe punish meat, till botk went down. 21,'28, 93. Horsham gave his head, and Brown made the Most of it, He changed the complexion of his oppOnest i s fen quicker than a painter could. 24. " Foul!' " Fair!" similar to the-19th round. " It's aft , up !" said Josh. " and I'll take you to the Fair this evening, nq SPTIOLY 25, 26. The road to Pepper-alley, by Brown; and no Tarn again-lane by Horsham.--" Take hint away!" 27. A severe counter-hit, that almost gave the St. Vitus's dance to both of their nobs. Brown here also punished him down, and " Foul !" and " Fair !" were again resorted to. 28th and last. It was all over with Horsham, and he only came to the scratch to nap it. Brown dropped him in easy style, and when time was called, be could not leave the knee of his se cond.—lt was over in thirty-five minutes. Rirstaiuts.—Rough contalatters, however good streeters they may be, must not attempt to meddle with the out-awl-esst Sprig of Myrtle; it is only such a fine fighter as Curtis that can beat Brown. Horsham is a game, good little man ; but he has no scientific points about him. eis too fond of rushing in : such a mode may do in a turn-srp, but in the Prize Ring it will not answer. He was terribly punished about the bead, while Brown had not a scratch upon his face. The sports of the day closed with Dog-fighting. Pritchard's Rnwsty•ttres, and some of the best English breed of Bull-dogs that were ever seen, 'hewed upon this occasion. The Fancy were all in raptures at the fineness of the day and the goodness of the sport, and the company separated in the most polite manner. A Duel was fought at Woolwich, on Monday, be tween two Officers of the Artillery, ♦iz. Captain S. and Captain A. in which the former was wounded in the foot. The cause was neither love nor jealousy, the two fruitful sources of cases of this kind. It ori ginated in a difference of political sentiments between the parties. FASHIONABLE MOVEMENTS.

Raanuu FA MOM—One of the prettiest Bowers that has yet appeared for Lengthantp, is a large rose, of which each leaf is edged w►da a colour of the rainbow. As it was last season at Longehastp, so it is this ; that if at kast the flowers of the hat are not made suitable to the silk or gauze of which the hat is composed, that the ribbons must be m. Broad ribbons are much wont, *ostly of striped gauze with a deep fringe at the ends. Although the variety of these ribbons is great, yet ribbons of striped tulle have the preference. The most novel trimming fee &asses is composed of two rows of demi-crowns ; this trimming Is disposed in a zig-zag form. These demi-crowns are formed either of silk, gauze, or blond ; they have the appearance of very beautiful rosettes. Roasted coffee colour is the colour most iu vogue for Gentlemen's coats ; they have a black collar. Yesterday the Boys educating in Christ's Hospital walked in procession to the Mansion House, where each received a bun, a glass of wine, and a new six. pence. After this ceremony the Lord Mayor,-She- riffs, and City Officers, went in state to Christ's Church, where the Spital Sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. BARROW, of Soho, from the 29th chapter of Proverbs, and the 15th verse. A letter from Washington, of the 30th of March, says:—" Mr. leitmotivs, the late British Chargé d'Affaires, left this city yesterday morning, to em bark at New York, on his return to England, fi.,r the purpose of taking his seat in the House of Comrr on . It is but justice to say of him, that his public:deport ment, during his residence here, has been urbane and respectful to the Government and the Public, and li beral in society." Dear and important as Blackstone's Commentaries ought to be to every Englishman, whether in or out of civil employment, yet the original work is too bulky for general perusal ; and its worth is, conse quently, lost to the Public. To obviate this objection, the late Mr. GIFFORD, the Magistrate, made such a condensation of its contents, as to bring every useful principle and doctrine of the Work into the compass of a single Volume; adapted at once to the perusal of all who desire, at mature age, to understand the Laws and Constitution : and to the use of Schools, where this subject ought to form part of every course iof liberal Education.

Wednesday se'nnight, about twelve o'clock, up wards of fifty armed men attacked the house of Charles Sullivan, near the Finds of Lifford, County of Limerick, and, having broken the thatch, gained an entrance; others of the party broke down the wall of the house, and fired several shots through the win dows and doors. Sullivan was dragged out and much beaten in the head, and the party having taken a pistol, sword, and bayonet, with above five pounds in money, left the house, and proceeded in search of fire-arms to other places in the same neighbourhood, The same gang visited the house of Mrs. Bennet, at Rutland, and, after searching all the rooms for arms, they went off without doing any mischief. Some other houses on the Ballinaurra road were also en tered in search of arms the same night. Coax &CHANGE, MARX -LAIR, APRIL fa— A very large qu; c tity of Wheat remained over from Monday's supply, for which there was no demand this morning: prices, therefore-, may be considered nominally as en Monday. The inferior qualities of Barley are unsaleable, and even prime samples were with cliff culty got off at Monday's prices. The Oat trade continues ex ceedingly heavy, and what few sales were made to-day, were at an abatement of Is. per quarter. Beans are also rather lower. In Peas and other articles no alteration.
