The Imperial Russian Admiral Si:rutin, has set sail with a strong division of his squadron, which has lately been considerably reinforced, from the lonian or Egean sea, to join the remaining part of the English Beet, which was left cruising off Tene dos.—(Cowi Gazette.) CONSTANTINOPLI. MAIICI4 10. The English squadron has availed itself of a northerly wind to sail out of the channel. Wiale the English Admiral was negotiating, the batteries were construilling, under the diredion of French officers, all around our port, and mounted with up. wards of 600 pieces of cannon. Within a few days, the forts of the Dardanelles, were all put in the most tenable condition. Befcre three weeks shill have elapsed, the Dardanelles will be in a star: altogether impregnable, like our port. In the canal, the English were sttuck with astonishment at the sight of the immense population of the coast. 'fit: if boats, whith put t.ff to fetch water and provisions, were not able to land. They have therefore done extremely well to sheer off with all possible speed. The Grand Signior has adopted the same measures in his dominions against the English and their goods, a. the French Emperor. The seals have been put on the palace of the English Ambassador, as well as on all English warehouses. All persons not be. longing to the military, arc to be disarmed, and after this measure shall have been carried into ef fed, the shops will be opened again. —/./bona Mer cury, April 11.) •NTVItItP, A PIM 7.

Another oljectiao has arisen from a Note that was pr•sented by the British to our Commissioners, previously to the signing of the Treaty, containing a declaration the: the King of Great Britain could not enter into the stipularions of the Treaty, without an explanation from the United States, of their in tentions with regard to the Decree of Bonaparte, of the Lln November, which, it is stated, violates all the rights of neutrals, to the direct injury of the British interest. The Nate states, that the King of Great Britain, being AM. - it:de:l by a sincere desire to maintain a ittnad understanding with this country, permits Lis Commissioners to sign the Treaty, hut reserves to tumid( the tight of refusing to rAi;iy it, should the anew, not Abandon, in the mean time, tivir iir.jost pret•nsians, or should the United States submit to the ,Iggrersnits on its neutral rights.

Six thousand Spanish cavalry and 24,000 infantry of the same nation, have passed the Pyrennees, and are exi ccted ca the banks of the Elbe the latter end of April. The passage of French troop, by clivis:ot.s :and whole regiments. is gteacer than ever. We also daily see pass through here considerable transports of powder and ammunition of all sort .

Moarr La's corps, which lately broke up from before Stralsund, for the Vistula, amounts to 25,000 men. The pr;ne;p4l corps of the Swedish army has followed its track 'n the direftion of Stettin.

From the ertreme length of 6ese Papers. and the lateness of the hour at whici: we receivA them, it is impassible to give more t'lan the above heads. Tim Gottenbutgh Mail of the I 3th inst. arrived in hum on Sat•tr.lay night. It announces, on the authority of letters from Konings'aerg and Dantzic, that the Russian army has been reinforced by 90,000 men Nothing of moment, however, appears to have occurred to the 5-h of the present month. The letters from Dantzic are said to come down to the 7th. We have by this conwsyance received another Bulletin from the Swedish army ; it is dated Demmin 4th April, and signed by the General in Chief, VON Essen. The French entrenchments were fired by General TA WART, who, at the head of 1200 meu, drove the enemy from Reden hazen, Pltteaberg, and Lussow, to Voigclehagen, where the Fratch were attack-Z! in front by another Swedish brigade, under Generals Aa st rs.t.or and Vsa..Esa.:K ; ant!, alter some resistance, were corn pellad to re :e.

A Letter f7o:n Gottenburgh states, that a Cou rier, with a clkpit.:ll frcm BONA PART It tONIORTI tit had been intercepted by a Prussian patrole, and that BON APA LT3 directed Mo !TIER to rake the siege et Stralsund, and join him immediately., if he could not carry the place in 4S hours. We have received New York Papers to the 13th loot. At that date, the Treaty with this country wis tile principal subjeet that occupied the public attention in America. It is not true, however, that these Papers contain an account of the positive re jection of the Treaty, by the Pampas., and Se nate . t the United States. The Manchester packet arrived -it New York, on the 3d. ult. with a Copy of the Meaty for our Minister, Mr. ERSKINE, but it was unaccompanied by the explanatory Notes re lative to the impressing of British seamen from on board American vessels. or to the Decree of 83141, r ARTS, of the 21st of November, in violation of the rights of neutrals. The copy, such as it was, was however politely communicated by Mr. E emu to the PaLSIDENT, who certainly cock several occasions to express his disatidaftion of it in general terms, but could not proceed on certain grounds until in possession of the Treaty itself, and the explanatory Notes. On the '..)th of March, the ship E , .Prprite, sent off by the American Minister, arrived with his Secretary of Ltgatioii, who was the bearer a the Treaty. I: Was impossible, however, for the PRESIDEMT to have received the Treaty, convened the Senate, and have obtained their opinion, before the I :lib. the date of the last New York Papers. The disap probation, therefore. expressed by the PRESIDINT, being founded upon a parial and imperfect view of the Cale, ought not to excite AlArm, as we must pre ►ume that the omission is sati.lactorsly acc.moted for in the explanatory documents which he has since received. In consequence of the enrnmunia cation made by Mr. ERS'AINL, of the Copy of the Treaty to the President, the substance of it has be came generaily known in Ameriea.—lt is said, among other things, to stipulate, that the subjects of the United States shall have liberty to trade, under certain regulations, to the British territories in the East Ladies ; that they shall be at liberty to carry the produce of France direct to American p orts , an d thtr.ee to re-convey it to any port in Europe, and that American ships shall not be ha. ble to be searched within five miles of tbs American shores. Colonel BURR has been admitted to bail. Bills of indiarnent have been found against Judges Wollt'.IAN and Kean. The new Ministry profess their intention to pur sue a system of N good nature, kindness, and con ciliation," in Ireland. It would betray great folly in any set of men entering into office, under the cirz.-unis:Ances of their case, to hold any other lan guage. We cannot give them credit for their c.t:.dou-, without callin ,g their consistency in ques tion. They may not have given the pledge that was r..fusedly their predecessors, but it cannot be denied th.tt they stand avowedly a barrier between Ilia MCMITY and the claims of the Catholics. This is not the eine situation in which a set .4 men would be likely to place thentselves. Whom a system of good. nature, kinstaes s, and c , ciliation, in Ireland, appeared indispensable. t it may be said, that it VMS the only way ey they could get into power. and be urged as a SAC tice of their principles to their ambition. .i1"1 no advocates for the doetrine that you may do .v.l, that good may come of it. Allowing them the full benefit of this plea, we can place no confiden ce ;,, 4 Ministry engendered in intrigue. and which derives all its sustenance and support from popli.r delusion and the revival of religious Wife and animosities. The vital principle of such a Ministry is et mom: enmity with a system of good nature, kindness, and conciliatien. in Ireland. It is monstrous to talk of « system of conciliation and kindness to a boee of people, three.fourths of whom they have d - dared shall have neither remedy nor redress-- Hut leaving all abseraet reasoning aside, and supposing the minds and temper of Viee-, • CAITLIItILAGH. Lord HAWKESEtt;IIY, and PLICEVAL, to have andergene a complete ree . lution, let us see how far these professions of mildness and conciliation are borne out by the ere. dente of facts.—The Government of the Duke f &Drool> was one of pure concili ition aed kink r . . He is devoted to agricultural pursuits, and has ere., sternly encouraged them in Ireland, by precept argil example. Now what was the first act of the New Ministry ? Did they appoint a Noblemen of a sine lar disposition his successor? No, they scn: a General ; they took away the plough, t .• scythes and other implements of husbandry, and they sent the sword an the spear, and the ments of war. But this is not all ; that the Cover.. mersi b might be of a purely military character, re! 3;cretary to the Lnan LIENTLWANT of Ineetevn mist also be a General. A asecaost elf and Core. we Lets, it is true, were both Generals, and were el gentle temper; so may be the Duke of RICIIMInth and Sir Aavuua WZLLISLET j but it is not amos' men, whose trade is war, we look for individuals skilled in the arts of peace. What is their next aft of 'conciliation and kindness towards Ireland? They attempt to make Mr. Foam Chancellor of the Exchequer, and they are only prevented by the extravagance of his demands. Viscount Curie.- REACH, Lord Haw:me:Ter. and Mr. Ptecevat , are fond of !we strings to bow; and Mr. Fosr re, that he might be on an equality with his collearte, wished also to have the Treasury with the Exche quer. The new Ministers will scarcely pretend that they meant this appointment as a measure of kin!. ness and conciliation towards Iceland. So far sr have seen thier Acts : let us now trace their spirit and ineuence.—At a late meeting of the Corporation of the City of Dublin, an Address was voted to the Duke of risorosto, on his departure, approving his conduct as a private man. but con demning his mild and conciliatory Government, with this taunting observation by one of the Mem. bees, that they would 'not connect his agricul tural pursuits with the Threshers." It may be said that there is no evidence of any Inatome here; but it is well known, that in the Common Council o! Dubin, 3641 n the Common Council of Londe-, there is a wonderful sympathy between some of the Members and the Minister of the day. But if the Corporation of the City of Dublin voted in this instance, from its own impulse, what can be said in difecce of the letters written by the Duke of Cuss. StRI. AND to the University, and the attempts and pranices in the several counties, to procure Addiese s in favour of the present Ministry ? Meetings for this purpose are calculated to excite political !net and animosities. That they have atually done so is beyond all doubt ; for, in the few cases that have occurred, there are Advertisements in the public Papers, from parties complaining that their signae tures were surreptitiously affixed to the Addresses. Instead then of the conduel of tile new Ministers, in the short time since they came into power, being part of a system of conciliation and kindness. in. stead of allaying discord, and promoting hammy. it has been better calculated to destroy the few remaining chords in the Irish harp. But we will go farther.—We maintain that the present Dialers cannot, if they would, pursue a system good nature, conciliation. and kindness, in Irelacc that it is, in falt, totally out of their power.—T' pursue a system of conciliation and good nature, it is not enough that the Duke of RICEMOND should have a bean over owing with the milk of human kindness, and that the Minister should insole* him to give it full vent; the same spirit must be curia to the extremities of the Island ; it must pervade every (Ace, every Court of Justice, every tie' partment of the State. The Sheriff of the County, the Grand Jury, the Petty Jury, must be of a kind and conciliatory temper. Now, who are the friends and the party of the new Mi* nista.? The Catholics, and the friends of the le:: mild and conciliatory Government. No ; be the. Orangemen, the intolerant. the advocates of • strong Government, of severity and coercion. men I en.
