The Imperial Russian Lnrd Chamherlain; M. de Ribedupierie, arrived hero 'n the 10th in the even tram Memel, with a kt:er from His Imperial M.j..sty the Emperor of Ro,sia, to His Royal Ma jesty, and is to set out on his re—ton to Memel, this evening, with the King's answer.—(Sivriketse Gas.

Twenty RUSIIA3 pin-boats are al ready arrived in the Danube, to prevent the Turks from crrssing that river, and facilitate the redac tion of Ismaelb Silty more gun -boys are crpeet scl in the Danube. General Michelson's army kis ohtained considerable advantages over the Turki near Dag& and Dorpath, and has is consequence advanced farther into the country. New distur bances have broken out in Remelia, between the Sashay/. of Arm and Naair. An extraordinary Activity prevails in the Russian purls in the Black Sea. More of the regiments of snot and horse, stationed in the Crimea, air on .their march to join General Michrlson't army, under the orders of the Duke of Rinelicu. According to acconnts from Semlin, of the lot of April, a rebellion of a serious natnre hts broken out in B : upwards of $OOO forks are said to have already perished in that country.—(Copenb•irn Gotrite. 48M of April ) 4M~'I{ICA. t4rW noix, APRit. 4. It is understood that the President will not send bark the St nish Treaty, as same have asserted, out of respect to the British Government ; that he will not, however, lay it before the Senate ; and that he will instruct our Commissioners to proceed in the negociation, as if, in fact, no such treaty had ever been draughted. The want of sane adequate provision t•"r the protectioa of our seamen, contd. lutes one objection to the treaty in its present form. But the principal one arises from the note of the British Ministry, which accompanies it.—(lticissend Loguirer) NAIICH 25. PROCLUNKIION.

And whereas, it iv judged for the public interest, that such suspension should take place : Now, therefore, be it known, that I, THOMAS JEFFERSON. Pre—ricnt of the United States, by rirtue or the authority aforessid, do hereby suspend the opinion of the act, entitled, " An act to prohibit the importation of cermiir goods, warei, end merchandise," pasted on the 113th day a April, 1836, wail the second Monday of December next.

JEFFERSON. JAMES NIA ODISON. Secretary et State. zw Voalt s as a licit ES. In pursuance of a notice in the papers of yester day, a meeting of the Merchants, Importers of Goods horn Great Britain and her dependencies. wss last evening held at the Tontine Coffee-house. Mr. Gilbert Aspinwall, was called to the Chair, and Mr. John L. Broome, appointed Secretary. The Committee appointed for the purpose at a previous meeting to draft a respectful memorial to the President of the United States. made a report of the same, which was read and unanimously adopted. It stated, in forcible terms, the extreme anxiety under which the merchants laboured. from their ignorance as to the intentions of the Executive in relation to the farther invention of the Non•im portation Ad beyond the let of July next; for, should it not be the intention of the President to extend the suspension, they would held it expe dient immediately to countermand their orders for all goods which were sent in consequence of the arrival of the treaty, and other circumstances com bining to, lead them into a belief that our dar rence wi h Great Britain would be amicably adjusted. That since the treaty is said to have bee.' sent lack. they have become greatly and jisrlf alarm ed as to the fare of those expeded importations. A crimm.ttee of tw:nty-one was appointed to traettpit the Memorial to the Secretary of State, to ba bdOre the President, with a solicitation to have an an.wer hy•the middle of ',eat mon.h. uRITISII MIS AT much his been said, and 1 • so cr.ottadi,.o °1 y Il eve ben the report., rt:pe4lit.g the treaty, or tl e articles intended for a treaty. knelt signed at L.ndon by the American and Bri tish Ministers, that conjecture has beers badlesi, and opinion wan ed data to rest bison. We believe we have it in ion power to relieve the public mind from that uncertainty in which it has heretofore been suspended. The treaty w.ll be immediately returned to London for fur ther negociation. For this purpose, the Way ship of war is ordered to be g rt ready for sea im mediately —th. officers are seleded, the crew corn pletsd, and 'Thursday next is named as the day on which she is to sail. Capt. Smith, who is to corn reand the Wo 7 , will be the bearer of the treaty to London; from thence the Wisp will repair to the Mediterranean, whets she is to be stationed. In conversation on the subjeet of the treaty, the President hat been heard to declare, that had he laid it before the Senate, and that body had been unanimous in advi►ing its ratification, still he wolild have withheld the sanaios of his signature. So hostile dives he feel himself to some of its prin ciples, and so determined on its total rejeetion in its , present form. The fire which destroyed Detrost, the tit of St/Ile. 1405. consumed the houses on twenty-five streets,— Sixteen human beings were burnt, and cows, horses, and sheep, shared the same tate. The inha bit:iris escaped with only the linen on their backs. A tribe of the Delaware Indians came to a resolu• tine to relieve the surf , and sent 18 snitch cows, 25 sheep, witl• mkt% chickpM , &c. to their relief. I.ONDON, TUESDAY, At.• 12. We have received New York papers to the sth of Apia. It appears from them, that in the latter end of March, the importing merch ants of that city petitioned the Piestotrer for kformation relative to his intentions respe.9ing the further saspv.renr. cl the Nondmportation An, wu:n would expire on the first of July. It was also confidently as I viz rally believed, that the treaty with Great 13 , ;taio would be immediately returned, and tl.e Warp 'loop of war WAS said to be in readit.ess to carry it to Eigland. On the 28th of March, ho salver, the Proclamation of the Piastopier was received at New York, for further suspending the Non-importa tion AA until Dec.l4, and this measure considerably relieved the public min 1. The New-York Papers also announce the arrest of Colooel Bell*, a full account of which is given in our last pa, , ,e. He was in that city on the 4th, and was experfted to be brought speedily to trial. America, like England, is thrown into a ferment, by the approaching eleaions. I'h• Journals are almost flit l with accou n ts of public meetings, resolutions, and political disquisie tions. Two Gottenburgh Maih arrived yesterday.— They contain nothing of any interest. We received, yesterday, counts from Barbadrrs, to the 24:h March, inclusive. The following is the only intelligence which they bring : " 1141134160/.1, )II A RCH 21. " Slr Alen.

The people begin to detefl the views of those who pro moted it, and to examine the nature of the measure on which so absurd a tocsin of alarm has been sounded throughout she kingdom. They perceive, with surprise, that the concession recommended in England, by Lord Howick, MU infinitely less than the boon granted in Ireland, by Lord West moreland ; that what was asked for Briti.h Ro man Catholics, with many restridions, had been given, three years ago, to foreign Pap'sts, without reserve or hesitation ; that what the late Ministers proposed. fell short of what the present effefled ; and that Lord Grenville and Lord Howick's mea sure was not a tenth-part of what Lord Ca , tlereagh, the Duke of Portland. and Mr. Canning, earnestly and repeatedly recommended. The admirable let ter of Lord Grenville has removed all doubt, anJ convinced every reasonable man. tl:at to represent the Church as endangered, is to censure Mr. Burke, Mr. Pitt, and Mr. n.x. as enemies of the State, to condemn the very Ministers themselves, and to ca lumniate the charaEler and principles of every pub lie man of eminence, during the last twenty years, both in England and Ireland. The following circumstances, also, have Cut es• caped the observation of the sober and thinking part of the community, and will, no doubt, have consider able weight in the en-uing EleCtions for the coun des of Great Britain. First—No man in either [Lose ventured to main tain those &Chines, which, nut of the House, Mi. sisters and Ministerial Candidates have been so aaive in promulgating. Secondly—linwever loud some fattious persons may have been at public meetings, and sin the hustings, out sac ern stated, in the House of Lords, in the presence cf Lord Grenville, that there was, or had been, the slightest danger to our establishments. We would ask these criers of No Popery"--those bra..elers for Church and King-- these sturdy clianirions of our estalili,i)ment—how it happens. that out of tliiity.two Prelate.,, whom oar Constitution places in the I•cart of the Legicla. tutc, for the interests of mar Religion, and the pro. teftion of our Church. oor oos should have stood forward to arraign the enemies of our Protestamt Faith—tine ONE should have raised his sacred voice, to preserve the fabric of oar Tabernacle from profanation and destruftion ? By what strange fatality did it come to pass, that riva of the most pious and learned of that body, voted with persons whom oar great disines, Mr. Per ceval, Mr. Deputy Birch, and Mr. Tyrwhitt Jones. would peTlllsstiC us, were little better than Papists and Athiests ? We ask these knight-erranis of an oppressed Chetah, how it Kapp red that the venerable Watson. the successful antagonist of Paine, the able champion of the C-rspel. in all its parity, coalesced with the prolbgate and wiper .fillets supporters of Atheism and Pope') ? Vitas those who steer by the isnlor star of Pitt, how i t came to pass, that the teacher of his youth. th► Wird to! his manhood, and the pious attendaut on his death-Scd, the learned 13t,iinp Prettyman, hair:. en' to the eaase cf his relie,iln, and hi, voted with a party whom the.e Ministers nit: tized as hostile to the Church, and irrecrincilea e enemies to the name and principles of Mr. Pi Cin these things be so? Can tie Chara bevel- . 21 attacked, and no Prelate have stepped farsc.,:.: the p'ace where the Constitution has mated •to repel the inroads of its enemies ? Suttly not ; precocious indeed ws,uid be the ere of the P:n!t:t. a:ut Religion, if learning, piety. and a isdnet, 1,4,1 deserted her standard, and left her to such d0f.,,„ ry.iy, as the cEtrniur of a mob, and bludgrons of a rabh!e, can afford her. But Ministe, s would fain persuade thentsele-.:, , 1 t in these senseless cries they hear the voice o f o e nation. The se nnequiso,cally deny. la de. Ay, ' place, much more than one.:hird of the not have been against the bat, because much rrile than one third of the united nation is composed of Catholics and Di/sent-ars of various and though acrid would here gained cry p.aic doing any mischief by su.li a law, all would have been relieved from a grievance, real or intagina or at least from a stigma or an ;mit. It, t!-Te fore, it were true, (es it is most false) that 2.1 the Members of the Church of England were loud in their condemnation of the measure, the utrne,; ; h, t would he proved, would he, that two-thirds of the kingdom were against it. Rut of these two et.:r, , r, we believe, that ill one-half approve the bill, and we are confident that more than one-half detect the artifices practised to defeat it, 2nd to bla , :it those who proposed or supported it. In the Mr!: , . polis, in Westor;nster, in Middlesex, and in Sao'', no apprehension has been felt, though great pains have been taken to excite it. ' Near the seat 4 Government, the nature of -the maser., is knoen, and the nature of the cry is understood also ; and if the first is not strongly and eagerly supported. the last is justly reprobated and generary ecspi:cd. All the Candidates for popularity in Weaminsor, (the most popular of all Lleaiona), have felt tVr interest to disclaim the fesra so artfully excites, and so industriously spread. It would be strarge if a vpnlace had juster views of our Religion, ttas those whose learning and piety have placed them at the bead of it. It would he yet more strange, if the mobs of distant towns shenlid evince a clearer in si3ht into our policy, more 'crow ledge in state slats, and greater vigilance in the defence of our Comet. tution, than the comparatively enlightened pope's tion of the Metropolis, and its neighboushood. That those remote from the scene should see more than those who ate near it, is as whimsical a dodtrine in politics, as it would be in optics. Why then do the populace of Liverpool and Bristol, cry • 1 No Popery," and the people of Westminster ex. claim "No Peculation r' It is not because the people of Lancashire are better Protestants then :he inhabitants of Middl. scx, or the people of Middies sex greater enemies to the embezzlement of public money, than the inhabitants of Liverpool ; but it is because those who are in London know that there is no danger of Popery,aad that there is much appear. ance of Peculation; whereas, at a distance, the populace, as well as the voters, learn the state 4 aCairs, through channels which are intertured in de ceiving them, and decide by the reports of those who Aar, no fears whatever af Perslateas ; in-tead of trusting their own observation and judgment.
