Petersburgh. An extraordinuy courier has arrived this morning from Madrid. The individual arrested in the dec e u r lent of the Sarthe, and who was mistake n for 1 Berthon, arrived last night at Paris, with an escort, and was conveyed.to the Prefecture of the Police. On the 27th, a domiciliary visit was made in the apartment of M. Bodin, at Rennes; he was formerly Captain of the Staff, and was absent. Two letters from General Berthon were found among his papers. According to the .&ho of the West, from which we take these details, one, dated 1818, was written by the General to d. Bodin, who had formerly been his Aid-de-Camp. The other, of 1821, relates to an ac count for a pamphlet, some copies of which the lat. ter had been commissioned to dispose of. "We learn," says the Echo, that, by an order of the Minister of the Interior, sent by telegraph, M. Bodin has just been arrested in the family of his mother, at Ponte I'Abbe, and conveyed to the prison of Quimper." It is said, that just as M. Bodin was arrested, he was preparing for a journey. A new domiciliary visit has been made in the house of M. Cossen, at Nantes, which does not seem to have furnished the Police with the information which they sought. HERMANSTADT, MARCH is. The news from Moldavia and Wallachia inspires horror. The Asiatic troops lay waste everything with fire and sword. Even the city of Jassy was on fire in several places on the 12th March ; whole streets were burnt to ashes: we tremble for Bucharest. The Kiaja Bey has published, that if he was forced to evacuate the country he would carry all the male inhabitants into slavery, and that he would not leave a village standing. The fugitives reach our frontiers almost naked, the soldiers strip them of all their clothes. VIENNA, MARCH ILI. A courier who arrived unexpectedly from Cont. stantinople the day . before yesterday, has brought news from that capital of the 6th of March. The Divan has decidedly rejected the Russian ultimatum, and the Reis Effendi has notified this rejection in a note to the Ministers of the mediating Courts, con ceived in no very temperate terms. The note which our Internuncio, Count Lutzow, dispatched immedi ately after to our Court was instantly communicated to the Russian Ministers, Golorkin and Tatischeff, who immediately transmitted it to the Court of St. Petersburgh. We are impatient to know if M. de Tatischeff will prolong his stay in this capital. SALEM, MARCH 18. (IPRIVILTE LESI2II.) Tartars dispatched from Constantinople on the 10th of March, have brought important news to the Pacha of Belgrade, and to the Servian Prince Milosch. What I had foreseen and ..aid in my preceding letters has been fully confirmed. The death of Ali Pacha has not only inflamed the heads of the Turkish po pulace, but the Divan itself partakes in the general in. toxication. On the 28th of February last, the Grand Council of the Sublime Porte assembled all the Chiefs of the Ortas of the Janissaries, and several Ullmas had been summoned to this sitting of the Divan, which is never done except when a declaration of war is in agitation. The assembly unanimously decided to reject the proposals of Russia, the acceptance of which had been so warmly urged by the Ministers of Austria and Great Britain. The Reis Effendi imme diately announced to the European Ministers, by a Note conceived in terms the most insulting to Russia, that all its demands were rejected. It is said that Russia had violated the Treaty of Bucharest, by re fusing to deliver up the traitor and rebel Suzzo ; and that, far from delivering him up to the just ven geance of the law, it had received him in the most friendly manner, and had supplied him with money for his support; that another enemy of the Porte, Alexander Ypsilanti, had appeared in the Russian uniform, and was, in fact, but an agent of that Court ; that the Greek churches might be one day rebuilt, but never till the rebellion of the Greeks was entirely stifled ; that the principalities of Moldavia and Wal lachia coul.l not be evacuated till the same epoch ; and that, as for the nomination of Hospodars to govern those provinces, the Porte was resolved never more to intrust such functions to Greeks, which is equivalent to the total annihilation of the political existence of the two provinces. In short I could net believe the testimony of my eyesight on reading this authentic act, so contemptuous and insulting is the style of it; and it is easy to foresee the impression which such a Note must make on the Emperor Alex ander, however mild and pacific he may be, and though the Greeks for some time past have accused him of looking with indifference on their cause and their misfortunes" _ _ After having pitied the Greeks, the author of the letter deplores also the fate of the European Diplo matists at Constantinople, who, after ten months' constant efforts and daily labours, behold the arro gance and insolent audacity of the barbarians to de stroy the whole pacific edifice which they had taken such pains to rear. A new Turkish army is assembling in the environs of Nyssa, and another on the frontiers of Bosnia. The troops in the environs of Sophia have set out for the Danube. It is expected that the Turks will shortly enter Servia, and the situation of Prince Milosch, when hostilities bleak out, may become very critical. lONIAN ISLANDS. Accounts from Zante of 11th February, say, that the division of the Ottoman fleet which lately left Constantinople has been seen off Navarino. It con sists of six ships of the line and two frigates, and has troops and ammunition on board. According to the last accounts only four millions were found in Ali's treasury (3,600,000 francs). AUGSBURGH, MARCH sa. The news that we received today from Warsaw positively announces war. The Generals-in-Chief of the Russian Armies of the South and the West have had to attend a Council of War at the grand head-quar ters at Minsk, in which the operations of the cam paign have probably been decided on, after dispatches brought by an extraordinary courier from St. Peters burgh. It seems that the Russians will shortly enter Wallachia and Moldavia. It is affirmed, that in a Note subsequent to its ul timatumb Russia had demanded of tlia Porte a large - Private letters say, that the arrogance of the Divan was such in its negociation with the Ministers of Aus tria and England, that the latter, who has exhausted all the resources of diplomatic skill to ensure the maintenance of peace, was himself Wearied out. The rejection of the ultimatum has given a de cisive blow to the Austrian paper currency. From the 22d to the 25th of March, the great banking and commercial houses at Vienna sent numerous expresses to their correspondents in the commercial cities of the west of Europe. On the other hm.d, the Office of Foreign Affairs and the British Minister at Vienna have dispatched courier upon courier to London. The silence of the Austrian Observer on the critical state of the political affairs of the east of Europe is very remarkable. People are curious to see the style of the first article which their Ministerial journal (which has never been a moment favourable to the cause of the Greeks) will publish on this subject.

This forenoon we re c eived a German Mail, bring. ing Frankfort Papers to the Ist inst. The following are the only extracts of importance: FRANKFORT, MARCH M. The following.is from Vienna, dated March 23: An express, dispatched from Constantinople on the 28th of February, has brought the answer of the Reis Effendi. It appears that this Note is unfortunately of such a nature as to render useless the mediation of the three Powers; and that, notwithstanding all their efforts to preserve peace, the obstinacy and the infatuation of the Sublime Porte will render this war inevitable. But even in case it should take place, it will be carried on like that of Naples, in full concert with the Allied Powers ; and even before it is under- taken, they will previously arrange together the re sults of the different chances which this war may have. Thus we see that the mission of M. de Tatis cheff is not near its termination. The metalliques have experienced a new depression to-day ; they are quoted at 74 5-16ths; the Bank Shares at 668 2.sthr.

Consols opened at 79 for the Account, and at one period were done at 781, owing to the panic eaased by the Information from Constantinople. Pri vate letters from that capital, of the 6th March, positively affirm that the ultimatum has been refused by the Divan, although the Government are for making peace; but the Janissaries have_ manifested a strong disposition against it, and have become ex ceedingly tumultuous, which has greatly alarmed the Govern ment- Consols are now Tel for the Account ; for Money, 7811' Fouttcni Brocts.—The Market is exceedingly fiat this morn ing, and scarcely a true price can be obtained except for Spanish Bonds.

Every arrival from the Continent confirms the ac counts previously received of Turkey having refused the Russian ultimatum. War now is inevitable, and it is probable that the nest intelligence may bring the account of hostilities having actually commenced. Indeed, the spirit which has been excited among the Turks is such, that it is probable they will be the first to commence the attack, before Russia can in crease her army on the frontiers, which, owing to the present state of the roads, she .cannot do very ra pidly. The Russian army on the Pruth is, we be lieve, sufficiently numerous to cope with the Turks already opposed to them. The war is likely to be as sanguinary and ferocious as any that has occurred for many years. Russia will, no doubt, in the first instance, make common cause with the Greeks, whose insurrection she has long secretly abetted. We trust, however, that the Greeks will not, in throwing off the oslious yoke of the Turks, cast themselves into the arms of Russia, and thus, after an obstinate con test for their liberties, obtain merely a change of masters. It will be seen by an article from Vienna, in the German Papers, that a hint is thrown out of the Al lied Powers joining Russia in the war against Turkey. That Austria (if she can raise the money) is likely to do it, on condition of receiving a slice of the Turkish dominions on the side of Hungary, we long ago stated to be probable ; but it is not so easy to see either the advantages to be obtained by other Powers, or even on what pretext they can join the league against Turkey ; but as it is easy to find a stick when you want to beat a dog, so is it equally easy to form a pretext, when a Government determines on war.— Sooner or later, we think it very probable that all the Great Powers in Europe may be embroiled in the quarrel—not even excepting England, whose occu pation of and conduct towards the lonian Islands, place her in rather a ticklish situation. We have received tw•o Dutch Mails, bringing Pa• pens to the sth inst. An article from Trieste, dated ODESSA, MARCH 11. We are curious to learn what the Austrian Inter nuncio, Count Lutzow, will effect, in the conference which is promised him with ete Reis Effendi. It is evident that the Reis Effendi only seeks to gain time. Our just Monarch has fully removed the objection to the evacuation of Wallachia and Moldavia, alleged in the Note of the Reis Effendi of the 2d Decem ber, by sending away Prince Michael Suzzo, and dissolving the corps of Hetarists in Bessarabia. Far ther concession on the part of our Court is hardly conceivable, and would, indeed, be unparalleled in the history of Russian Jiplomacy. In another part of our Paper will be found a state ment of the Revenue for the Year and Quarter ter minating yesterday. It will be seen, that the Re venue of the Quarter presents an increase of Four Hundred and Twenty-eight Thousand, Nine Hun dred and Sixty Pounds. Upon the Year, the increae is One Million, Two Hundred and Sixty-one Thou sand, Two Hundred and Thirty-five Pounds. The principal increase is in the Customs, the Excise, and the Stamps—branches of Revenue by no means en tirely depending on the prosperity of the country, though it has been often inferred fro-n their produc tiveness. The principal decrease is in the Post Office, which is deficient, during the last Quarter, 00,000, or about ten per cent. In the Assessed and Miscel laneous Taxes there is also a decrease. The state ment is, however, on the whole, gratifying, and slaee•s the immense resources of this country. We this day present our Readers with the first day's Trial at the Lancaster Assizes, on the subject of the Manchester outrage, in 1819. The trial, which com menced on Thursday, is expected to last some days. Yesterday, being Good Friday, the Dean of WEST• UINSTICR preached before the Nobility, at the Chapel Royal, St. James's. Yesterday, a solemn High Mass, and grand Tc Deum, was celebrated in the different Catholic Cha pels in town. At Warwick-street Chapel most of the Nobility attended Divine Service; and the musical department received the additional assistance of se veral of the most distinguished singers of the King's Theatre, who gave great effect to the various so lemn pieces of HANDEL and MOZART,chaunted there. The remains of the late Sir JOHN §ILVESTEN were removed from his house, for interment at Chigwell, at a quarter past eleven this morning, in a hearse and six, preceded by mutes and a plume of feathers, and followed by four mourning-coaches and four, in which were some of the intimate friends of the de ceased. Amongst whom were several Aldermen of London. The procession closed with fifteen private carriages. We understand that Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH will accept the office of Recorder of the City of London, should he receive the appointment. Several most respectable hint.. in Liverpool have advertised a general reduction in the price of malt liquor. The ed. ale is now sold for 7d. and that which was charged Q. is reduced to 54. The price of beer was lowered at Wisbech on Monday the 25th ult. by the brewers, to as to enable the publicans to sell at bd. per quart. The brewers of Canterbury, Margate, Ramsgate, and Sand wish, having reduced the price of beer to the publicans, strong beer is now sold at those places at 3d. per pot. The Police of Pails have Axed the price of bread of the first quality at 50 cents (sd. English) for 4lbs. and that of the second quality at 33 cents. (34d) Awrce Ciactinaracca.—At the Warwick Asa!zes, en Monday last, an action was brought to set•aside the codicil of a will, and thereby get possession of a legacy of AVLO, and six et nine acres of land. Two of the witnesses for the plaintiff were guilty of such gross prevarication, that the Jury, without hesitation, re turned a verdict for the defendant; and the Judge. after indig nantly commenting upon their criminal audacity, and observing that two others (whom his Lordship did nut more particularly specify) appeared to be implicated, ordered them to he com mitted for perjury. At this swum a persist informed the Court that the plaintiff, who was apparently Ja good heath h in the MCVII.• bag, had died suddenly at one o'clock in the day.
