r - Turks, and induced the Divan to assume a tone in conseioence, is extremely probable; but we are at from thinking that their conduct has either b e e n rash, hitig4y, or unprovoked. The next news ails ~• hahl% bring an account of the commence• ment of hostilities ; in the meantime, we would 'cau tion our Readers against those exaggerations in the private letters of a certain Evening Paper, which, by a mere dash of the pen, creates a Turkish army 160 0(X) strong, perfectly equipped and well sup- Oleo, and marches them to the banks of the Danube. The recognition of the independence of South Ame rica by the Government of the United States, is one of thrwe events which is likely to have considerable influence on commerce ; as nothing is more natural that , hat the ,1•1‘ Governments should give a pre ference to the fi..q.State that forms an alliance with them But although we should have wished Eng to have been the first to seize the golden oppor t, rrtv of forming a commercial treaty with the new world. yet it not 4611 too late: fox notwithstanding the progress made in the United States in manufac tures and the useful arts, they are still much behind us both in net it of execution and cheapness ; and a n.ost amr.le field for British manufacture might still be. opened. The only possible objection to our acknowledging the independence of Spanish South America, is in our relations with Spain; but surely when that inde penJence is established beyond all doubt or revoca tion, and even the mother country itself is hesitating whetl.er not it should yield to the separation, we need not be so fastidious about it. We are tar from agreeing with ne of our cotemporaries, that " any Government, de fade, may be rightfully recognized, o matter low at ay have originated;" since in all ire toes .•ith new States, due regard ought to be had to their probable permanency and stability, and to the guarantees they offer for the due preservance of the treaties entered into. Such prospects and such guaratifees we think the Republics of South America do rffvr ; and it is on that principle, and not on the mere ground that they .are Governments de facto, that e.• ould have them recognised. The Papers of Sunday last have reached us. The imei g n ihtelligence they contain is, as far as it g. cs ntirmatory ni the rejection of the Russian ultimatum by Turkey. A Nuremberg article of the 81st ult. after men tio:.n the particulars already known of the nego elation. at Constantinople previous to the 28th of February, says— " On that day (28th of February) the Turkish Go. veinn.ent .brew down the glove; it remains to be as,ertained whether Russia will take it up. Accord- . jag to the system of politicians, Russia ought to do so, in order t,' avenge her honour and make profitable conquests. But perhaps the Emperor Alexander will think• himselt above the insults of the Divan ; and, as to conquests, this Monarch has invariably declared that he does not wish for them. The non-reteption a the Turkish Note at Vienna, seems to be a step taken with the view that Russia may declare her ig norance whether the European Courts still wish an attempt to be made for the maintenance of peace, or whether they desire to have time to conclude a Convention with reference to the measures to be taken in common against Turkey." The following are further extracts ; ODESSA, MARCH 14. The new accounts which we receive from Con- stantinople, of the date of the 7th, confirm the pre vious statements of the enthusiasm excited in the Turks by the fall of Ali Pacha. This intoxication of success has already cost the lives of min) , innocent (;reeks; scenes of barbarity and ferocity have been renewed in the capital, and the people are eager for war. The Reis Effendi, is the conference of the ltith of February, held pretty temperate language to the,Britisli Ambassador; but the Note which he had delivered to the Foreign Ministers proves that he only sought to deceive the Noble Lord. We know from good authority, that it is expressly said in it, that if the Porte has not at the same time demanded the restoration of the fortresses which it has lost in Asia, it is pure moderation on its part. The Otto man Cabinet also accuses the Austrian Cabinet of partiality to Russia, in the exertions of its Minister to maintain peace. These two points may enable us to guess at the rest of this Turkish Note; and we may be easily persuaded that the measure of the iniquity of that Power is full. Some persons affirm here that the first news of the rejection of our ultimatum was known on the sth instant, and that it was immediately sent to St. Petersburgh.

The Paris Papers mention the seizure of another secret depot of arms on Friday last. There were found 27 chests, containing 500 muskets, a great number of bayonets, SOO pi'stols, and 100 infantry sabres. The Constkutionnel says, that the representation of (Edipe and rtpres Skiliennei has been prohibited, and that the Comedians of the two Theatres have been verbally requested not to play Tastuffe till fur ther orders. This morning we received a Hamburgh Mail, bringing Papers to the 6th instant. The following arc extracts: HAMBURGII, APRIL 4. We have received the following interesting ac counts from Fez, in Africa, by way of Gibraltar: 0 Fes, Rabbi TAW 21, 1227 ( January 16, 1822). _ _ _ u This day fortnight arrived the Imperial Ambas sador of the Ottomans, Ismael Mahomet Effendi, with the First Secretary of State, Salabi Bichor, ac companied by twelve Janissaries, a Pacha of Egypt, Stuschaim A mmani Bassa, and the son of the Viceroy of Egypt. They brought to the Emperor of Fez presents, the value of which is estimated at 200,000 piastres. The next day the Emperor opened the papers they had presented to him, and was greatly surprised at their contents, relative to the present hos tilities. The Emperor answered, lam ready, and GOD will help. For this week past this Monarch has been busy with the correspondence for Constan tinople and Egypt. •' The Emperor was greatly pleased at the arrival of the Ambassador, and of the Secretary of State. Salabi Bichor, and admired the prudence of the lat ter, who is an Israelite. This Salabi Bichor is the in timate friend of a great merchant, named Mayer Ben Mackain, now living in Morocco, who formerly resided eighteen years in England, and who has presented to the Emperor a work published in Europe against the Turks; and this Mayer has obtained, by the mean, of his friend Salabi Bicbor, the Imperial permission to correspond with all subjects of Morocco living in Europe On the 29th the Turkish Ambassador de parted, together with the Egyptian Pacha, the two Imperial Princes, Muley Abd Landel and Muley el Hussey; the two Governors, Mahomed Mahul and Abd Rachman Medina!' ; and two Israelites, Secre taries of State : they go first to Egypt, and then to Constantinople. The two Princes, with their suite, proceed first to the North, where they are to expect further orders. They carry to the Sultan letters, one of which promises to furnish him every month with 5000 horses, 1000 mules, and 500 negroes, from 18 to 20 years of age ;—the Viceroy of Egypt, 2000 horses, 200 negroes, and 500 mules. The Ambassa dor and the Egyptian Pacha likewise received valu able presents ; and to Salabi Bichor the Emperor gave a snuff-box, set with diamonds, a present from the King of France in 1757, the value of which is estimated at 10,000 piastres. 44 The Emperor immediately dispatched couriers to Tunis, Tripoli, and Algiers, to renew, within four weeks, the treaties concluded by his late father, Sydi Mahomet, in the year 1170, Schubar 19th, or 25d of July, 1757. The Emperor will pass this sum mer at Mogadore. The Governor Mahomet Mah zor Macknim has received orders to signify, that the inhabitants of Morocco, Mogadore, Sale, Rebut, and Tetuan, may travel to Europe; and that each city is to establish a Company for trading to Europe, which is to form a capital of four millions of piastres.— The conditions are the following :—From each of the above cities only five Jewish merchants may travel to Europe ; of the other merchants only the half can leave each city, while the other half remain in the kingdom ; they are not to make the voyage in any but English, Swedish, or Danish ships. The re mittances are to be made, to Cadiz to Messrs. Vinde de Terris et Hijos de Comp. and Messrs. Falck and Co.; to Lisbon to Messrs.Torlades and Co. and Messrs. Lefevre's, Rocher. A fortress is now erecting in Mogadore ind Agadir which costs above four millions of piastres ; this sum, is to be paid by those who have taken a part in the late rebellion. It is intended only as a grand depot for trade and the Corsairs. It is affirmed that the political relations between t're Cabinets of Berlin and of the Netherlands have become much more intimate within a short time. OUT Warsaw correspondent sends us the follow ing mews: " It was on the sth that an express sent direct from Constantinople, brought to Count Langeron the official news of the formal rejection of the Russian 'ultimatum by the Divan.

The steam-boati are not only to go from hence to Dieppe, but to Havre also. The promenades and tides have been much fre quented this day. All the elevates of the place were on the West Cliff about three o'clock, although the North-East wind, amended with occasional squalls, has not contributed to comfort. It was odd enough to observe his Grace the Duke Of WOLLINGTON, the great Captain of the age, on the Marine Parade on Sunday, driven by one ortile boys, in a comfy', feny-chaise. The Noble Duke was seated between two Ladies. . Monday eveni nA . E ar l o f CLANCAATT arrived in town from the ague. A Meeting of the Landholders of the Hundred of Greethoe took place at the Shire• Hall, Walsingham, on Wednesday last: Mr. Coca was in the Chair. A series of Resolutions were voted, stating, that ine vitable ruin awaited the Agriculturists, unleu they received speedy relief; and that the measures lately adopted by Parliament were alike inefficient. A Pe tition, founded on the Resolutions, was agreed upon. A similar Meeting took place on the same day, at Hackford, when some Resolutions, declaratory that the distress was principally owing to taxation, were voted. Mr. ADAMS, who addressed the Meeting; exposed the absurdity of the Duke of Bu c ki ng h am ' s calculations on the weight of taxes, in which be estimates the number of persons to be supported on a farm of 400 acres, at 15 ; whereas he, Mr. ADARIS, on an occupa tion of 600 acres, supported 86. A Meeting of Ship-owners and others connected with the Maritime Interest, was held at the Trinity House, in Newcastle, on Tuesday sennight, to consider the several alterations proposed in the Navi gation Laws, by the Bill introduced by Mr. WAL LACE. It was resolved that a Committee of nine, three each from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, North, and South Shields, should be appointed, to correspond with the several out-ports, and to prepare Petitions to both Houses of Parliament against the Bill, as likely to injure the maritime interests of this country. Sunday night, or early on Monday morning, some person or persons set fire to two barley-stacks and a straw-stack, belonging to Messrs. R. and S. CULLEY, near their farm-house, at Felthorpe. Wednesday afternoon, a number of persons from Woodton and Kirkstead , assembled and destroyed a threshing ma chine on the farm of Mr. ROBERT Row, of the former place. On application being made fo BERING YIELD, Esq. he took measures for the apprehension of the offenders, six of whom were taken that night, and lodged in Bungay cage, and have since been commit ted to the Castle.

Kola's THRATRIA new Comic Opera was pro duced at this Theatre last evening, under the title of " It due prdendi ddusi" (The two Suitors deceived). The music is by MoscA, a native of Naples, and now living in some part of taly. He is the author of va rious compositions ; but his reputation rests chiefly on his Comic Operas, of which the present is esteemed the chef d'ceuvre. His style is not grand or sublime, which would, indeed, be but little suitable , to the gay subject of this Opera; but it is characterized by sweet ness, and by very agreeable melodies, leaving pleasing impressions on the senses. It has the advantage of having been well got up, and of being well performed. Both Da BEGNIS and Pleacct had parts affording scope for comic delineation, of which they availed themselves to the best effect. CuaioNt's character did not give much opportunity for acting, but its re striction in dramatic pre-eminence was compensated by the importance he gave to it is musical taste and expression. As regards Madame RONZI DR Bactits, we are really at a loss which most to admire, her act ing or her singing. They are deserving of the highest commendation. They were both, in their kind, per fect.

DRURT-LANIL—MoRToN's Comedy of A Cure or the Heart Ache was performed at this Theatre last night, in which Miss COPELAND personated Jess, Oatland for the first time. She was most successful in the scene with Old Rapid, and in evincing her hap piness at the returning love and fidelity of his son.— The House was but moderately filled. COVENT-Gaamm.—The interesting Opera of The Slave attracted to this Theatre, last night, a numerous and very respectable audience. The new Grand Asiatic Melo-Dramatic Romance, rarely surpassed in splendour and scenic decorations, was performed fat the second time, and excited universal admiration and applause. Almon TstaxTaas.—The Minor Theatres wars again well attended last night ; and the Easter 11.11. days, perhaps, never presented a greater variety of attractions than the Metropolis does at this moment in all the places of public amusement. OFFICE OF COMMON SitlUSANTe—YeliterdaY merous and most respectable Meeting of the Mess: bens of the Court of Common Council, took place at , Guildhall. Mr. S. DIXON in the Chair. Mr. BoLtmom was introduced, and stated, that after 18 years de voted to the service of the Corporation, be hoped he had obtained such a knowledge of the custom and laws of the City, that he should not be deemed arro gant in soliciting the kind support of the Gentlemen assembled in his endeavours to obtain the object of his ambition.
