At length the die is cast—the Emperor NICHOLAS has issued forth his Declara tion of War—and the Russian Army has crossed the Pruth. We have this morning received the official documents, announcing this important event, which were published at St. Petersburgh on the 26th day of April, and on th e 27th the army had orders to invade the Turkish Territories. The Emperor in his Ma nifesto accuses the PORTE of having by its con duct destroyed all subsisting treaties between the two Powers, and to have left Russia no other alternative but to seek redress by force of arm s . The treaty of Bucharest—and the con vention of Merman, as well as other treaties, have been trampled under foot by the PORTE, which only made professions of peace that it might the more securely prepare for war. Th e EMPEROR further says, that Russian trade was annihilated by the closing of the Bosphorus, and the southern provinces of Russia rendered useless by the same cause. The PORTE is also accused of having, by its t reacherous machinations, stirred up Persia to War. But, added the EMPEROR, " all patience has its limit, the honour of the Russian name, the dignity of the Empire, the inviolability of its 1 tights, a nd that of our na ti ona l g l ory, h ave pre - scrib e d to us the bounds of it. " It is not till after having weighed in their fullest scent the duties imposed on us by im- Perative necessity, and inspired with the greatest confidence in the justice of our cause, that we leav e ordered an army to advance, under the Divine protection, against an enemy who vio late:: the most sacred obligations of the law of Nations." After enumerating the various grievances in detail, the EMPEROR says, that Russia, never theless, is very far from entertaining ambitious Plans ; enough of countries and nations already they its commands; cares enough are already united with the extent of its dominions. " Lastly, Russia, though at war with the Porte for rea- lons which are independent of the Convention of the 6th July, has not departed, and will not depart from the stipu lations of that act. It did not, and could not, condemn Russia to sacrifice its earlier important rights to endure decided affronts, and to demand no indemnity for the toast sansible injuries. But the duties which it im- Poses upon it, and the principles on which it it founded, will be fulfilled with scrupulous fidelity and otictly observed. The Alli es w ill fi n d R uss i a always ready act in concert with them in the execution of the treaty ois f Lond o n, always zealous to co-operate in a work which COMMended to its care by Religion and all the feelings ":"ch do honour to humanity, always inclined to make use its situation for the speedy fulfilment of the stipulations °I . the Treaty of the 6th of July, but to make any change in '3 nature and its effects. " Theia7peror --- ;iiinot lay down his arms fill he has Ibtained the results stated in this declaration, and he ex ,Petts th em f r om the benedictions of hi m t o w h om j ust i ce kid a pure conscience have never yet appealed in vain." ‘"attraordinary Supplement to the Russian State Gazette.)

Sixteen years have passed 4,44 seen face of Bucharest, and for the same period we 4 -I ,rstity,,,._re Porte act contrary to the stipulations of the 11 : _ s laterit o rme its promises, or indefinitely delay the ful -141 eltbi 4 t hem. But too many proofs which the Impe oastije t et Will adduce irrefragably prove this infatuated tha n eadin oils eY of the policy of the Divan. On more With r -'easion particular! in 1 821, the Porte ass umed "Peet Y ostihr t ,. R ussia, a character of defiance and open hostility, to these three months past ,it has again as- I stinted this character, by formal acts and measures which are known to all Europe. On the same day that the Ambassadors of the three Powers, who by a convention free from all self interested.. ness are united in a cause which is no other than that of religion and of suffering humanity, pressed at their departure from Constantinople an ardent wish that peace might be preserved ; on the same day when they pointed out the easy means of attaining that object, and when the Porte in the same manner most positively expressed its pacific dis positions, ;on that same day it summoned all nations professing the Mahometan faith to arms against Russia, denouncing it as the implacable enemy of Islamism, accus ing it of a design to overthrow the Ottoman Empire, and while it announces its resolution to negociate, for the sole purpose of gaining time for arming, but never intending to folfil the essential articles of the treaty of Akerrnann, it declares at the same time that it concluded that treats , with no other design than that of breaking it ; the Porte knew well that in this manner it also broke all preceding treaties, the renewal of which was expressly stipulated by that of Akerman ; but it had already taken its resolutions before hand, and regulated all its steps accordingly. Scarcely bad the Sultan spoken with the vassals of his Crown when the privileges of the Russian flag were already violated, the ships covered by it detained, their cargoes se questrated, the Commanders of theships obliged to dispose of them at prices arbitrarily fixed, the amount of an incomplete and tardy payment reduced to one-half, and the subjects of his Majesty the Emperor compelled either to descend into the class of Ravas, or to leave in a body the dominions of the Ottoman Government. Meantime the Bosphorus is closed, the trade of the Black Sea hindered, the Russian towns, whose existence depend upon it, see destruction be fore their eyes, and the Southern provinces of his Majesty the Emperor lose the only channel for the exportation of their produce, and the only maritime connection which can promote the exchange of their commodities, render their in dustry productive, and favour their manufactures and pros perity. Even the boundaries of Turkey did not limit the expression of these hostile sentiments. At the same time that they were expressed at Constantinople, General Paskewitsch, after the conclusion of a glorious cam ! paign, was negeciating a treaty of peace with Persia, the conditions of which were already accepted by the Court of Teheran. On a sudden, lukewarmuess succeeded to the eagerness which had hitherto been shown for tile conclusion of a convention which was already ap proved by both parties in all its particulars. These de lay& were followed by difficulties, and then by an evidently hostile tendency, and while on the one hand the conduct of the neighbouring parties, who hastily armed, manifested this !tendency, on the other hand ; authentic information, and positive confessions, revealed the secret of the promise of a diversion which was to oblige us to make new efforts. Thus the Turkish Government, in its proclamations, an nounced its intention of breaking its treaties with Russia, while it annihilated them by its actions; thus it announced war for a remote future time, when it bad already begun it in fact against the subjects and the commerce of Russia. Where war was just extinguished, it tried to rekindle it. Russia will no longer dwell on the motives which entitle it not to bear such evidently hostile actions. If a state could renounce its dearest interests, sacrifice its honour, and give up the transactions which are the monuments of its glory and the pledges of its prosperity, it would be a traitor to itself, and by disregarding its rights become guilty of dis regarding its duties. Such rights and such duties appear in a stronger light when they follow the most evident moderation, and the most irrefragable proofs of pacific intentions. The sacri fices which Russia ever since the memorable epoch which overthrew at the same time military despotism, and the spirit of revolution, has imposed on itself, with a view to secure to the world a durable peace, these sa crifices equally voluntary and numerous, inspired by the most liberal policy, are known to the world; the history of late years testifies them, and even Turkey, though little disposed duly to appreciate them, and in nowise en titled to pretend to them, has felt their favourable effects ; vet it has not ceased to overlook the advantages of its stipu lations with the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh of the funda mental treaties of Kainardje, Jassy, and Bucharest, which, while they.place the existence of the Porte and the inte grity of its frontiers, under the protection of the law of nations, must naturally have an influence on the duration of the empire. Scarcely was the peace of 1812 signed, when it thought that the difficult,- but eventful, circum stances in which Russia then was, might be used with im punity to redouble the violations of its engagements. An amnesty was promised to the Servians; instead of that an invasion took place and a dreadful massacre. The privi leges of Moldavia and Wallachia were guaranteed ; but a system of plunder completed the ruin of those unhappy pro vinces. The incursions of the tribes which inhabit the left bank of the Kuban were to be prevented by the care of the Porte ; but Turkey, not contented with raising pre tensions to several fortresses, absolutely necessary for the security of our Asiatic possessions—pretensions, the weak ness of which it had itself recognised by the Convention of Akermau, made them still weaker, by favouring on the coasts of the Black Sea, and even in our vicinity, the slave trade, pillage, and disorders of all kinds. Nay more : then, as now, ships bearing the Russian flag were detained in the Bosphorus, their cargoes sequestrated, and the sti. palatioas of the commercial treaty of 1783 openly vio lated. This took place at the very moment when the purest glory and victory in a sacred cause crowned the arms of his Majesty the Emperor Alexander, of immortal memory. Nothing hindered him from turning his arms against the Ottoman empire. But that Monaroh, a pacific conqueror, superior to every feeling of enmity, avoided even the justest occasion to punish the insults offered him, and would not again interrupt the peace restored to Europe by generous exertions and with noble intentions, immediately after it had been consolidated. His situation offered him imrannse advantages, he renounced them, to commence in 1816 uegociations with the Turkish Government, founded on the principle and the wish to obtain, by amicable ar rangement, securities for peace, and a faithful adherence to existing treaties, as well as for the maintenance of reci procal pacific relations ; securities which the Emperor's hand might have extorted from the Porte, which was not able to resist him. Such great moderation was not, how ever, duly appreciated. For five years together the Divan was unmoved by the conciliatory overtures of the Emperor Alexander, and endeavoured to tire out his patience, to dis pute his rights, to call in question his good intentions, to defy the superiority of Russia, which saw itself bound solely by the wish of preserving the general peace, and to try its patience to the utmost. And yet a war with Turkey would not in any way have embarrassed the relations of Russia with its other allies. No convention, containing a guarantee, no positive oblige tion, connected the fate of the Ottoman empire with the conciliatory stipulations of 1814 and 1815, under the prot ec ti on o f w hi c h civilized and Christian Europe reposed after its long dissentions, and the Governments found them selves united by the recollections of common glory and a happy coincidence in principles and views. After five years of well meant endeavours, supported by the representa tions of Russia, and equally long evasions and delays on the part of the Porte—after several points of the negotia tion relative to the execution of the treaty of Bucharest seemed to be already settled, a general insurrection in the Mores, and the hostile invasion o the chief of a party un faithful to and nation his duty, excited in the Turki s h Government all the emotions of blind hatred against the Christian s to it, without distinction between the guilty and the innocent. Russia did not hesitate a moment to testify its j ust disapprobation of the enterprise of Prince Ypsilanti. As .protector of the, two principalities, it ap proved of the legal measures of defence and suppression adopted by the Di van, at the same time insisting 'on the necessity of not c onfounding the innocent _part of the population with seditious, who were to be dis armed and puni a h e I • d. These counsels were re jected, the representative o f hi s Imperial Majesty was insulted in his own residence, the chief Greek clergy with the Patriarch at their head, were subjected to an in famous capital punishment amidst the solemnities of our Holy Religion most of the Ch r i stians without any distinc tion were s e iz e d, plundered, and massacred without trial ; spread meantime on ev ery . side. In vain did the the remainder fled. The flame of i nsurrection far from Ambassador endeavour t o render the Porte a last s ßa e b r ua a st i si c in c agli : In vain did he show by hi s note of 601 July, 18 07, a way to safety and to reconciliation. After he had protested against the crimes and ebullitio ns of rage, unparalelled in history, he found himself obliged to obey the commands of his Sovereign, and to leave Constanti nople. About this time it happened that the Powers allied with Russia, whose interests equally required the mainie mince of general peace, were eager to offer and to employ ,their services for the purpose of dispelling the storm which threatened to burst over the infatuated Turkish Govern- ment. Russia on its part delayed the remedy of its own just gr i evances, i n th e hopethat it should be able to conciliate what it owed to itself c with the moderation that the situation of Europe, and its tranquillity at that time more than ever endangered, seemed to require. Great as these sacrifices were they were fruit less. All the efforts of the Emperor's Allies were succes- * The letter of the (hand Vizier here alluded to, which was immediately followed by the hatti-scherif of 20th Dec. as well as Count Nestmlrode's answer of 14th (26th) April, to which the present declaration is annexed, shall be given to-morrow. ' skdy baffled by the obstinacy a the Porte, *Meth pe r hap s , equally in error with respect to the motives of our conduct and the extent of its own resources, persisted in the execu tion of a plan for the destruction of all the Christians sub ject to its power. The war with the Greeks was prosecuted with increased acrimony in spite of the mediation, the object of which then was the pacification of Greece. The situation of the Divan, notwithstanding the exem plary fidelity of the Servians, became from day to day more hostile towards them, and the occupation of Moldavia and Wallachia was protracted, notwith standing the solemn promises made to the representa tive of Great Britain, and even notwithstanding the manifest willingness of Russia, as soon as those proml ses were given, to restore its former relations with the Porte. So many hostile measures could not fail in the end to exhaust the patience of the Emperor Alexander. I n t h e month of October, 1825, he caused an energetic protest to be presented to the Ottoman Ministry, and when a prema ture death snatched him away from the love of his people, be had just made tiro declaration that he would regulate the relations with Turkey according to the rights and interests of his empire. A new reign began, and a further proof was furnished cf that love of peace, which the former Government had left 8.3 a fair inheritance. Scarcaly had the Emperor Nicholas ascended the throne, when he commenced negotiations with the Porte to settle various differences which concerned only Russia, and on the 23d March, and 4th April, 1826, laid down, in common with his Majesty the King of Great Britain, the basis of a mediation, which the general good peremptorily called for. The ardent wish to avoid ex treme measures guarded his conduct. As his Impe r i a l Majesty promised himself, from the union of the Great Courts, a more easy and speedy termination of the war which desolates the East, he renounced on the one hand the employment of every partial influence, and banished every idea of exclusive measures in this important cause ; on the other hand he endeavoured by direct negotiations with the Divan, to remove a farther impediment to the re conciliation of the Turks and the Greeks. Under such auspices, the conferences at Akerman were opened. The result of them was the conclusion of an additional con vention to the Treaty of Bucharest, the terms of which bear the stamp of that deliberate moderation, which, sub jecting every demand to the immutable principles of strict justice, calculates neither the advantages of situation, nor the superiority of strength, nor the facility of success. The sending of a permanent mission to Constantinople soon followed this convention, on which the Porte could not sufficiently congratulate itself, and the treaty of July 6, 1827, soon confirmed in the face of the world the disin terested principles proclaimed by the protocol of April 4. While this convention duly recognised the rights and the wishes of au unhappy people, it was to conci liate them by an equitable combination with the integrity, the. repose, and the true interests of the Ottoman Empire. The most amicable means were tried to induce the Porte to accept this beneficent convention, by the urgent entreaties called on it to put an end to the shedding of blood. Confidential overtures, which unfolded to it all the plans of the three Courts, informed it at the same time that in case of refusal the united fleets of these three Courts would be obliged to put an end to a contest which was no longer compatible with the security of the seas, the neces sities of commerce, and the civilization of the rest of Eti= rope. The Porte did not take the least notice of these hints.— A Commander of the Ottoman troops had scarcely con cluded a provisional armistice, when be broke the word he had given, and led at length to the employment of force. The battle of Navarin ensued. This necessary re sult of evident breach of faith and open at tacks, this battle itself gave Russia and its Allies another opportunty to express to the Divan its wishes for the maintenance of the general peace, and ta urge it to consolidate this peace, to extend it to the whole of the Levant, and to establish it on conditions which the Otto man Empire should add to the reciprocal guarantees at tending them, and which, by reasonable concessions, would secure it the benefits of perfect security. This is the system—these are the acts--to which the Porte replied by its Manifesto of 20th December, and by measures, which are only so many breaches of the Trea ties with Russia; so many violations of its rights ; so many violent attacks on its commercial prosperity; so many proofs of a desire to bring upon it embarrassments and enemies. Russ►a, now placed in a situation in which its honour and its interests will not suffer it any longer to remain, declares war against the Ottoma. Porte, not without regret after having however, for sixteen years together neglected, no thing to spare it the evils which will accompany it. The causes of this war sufficiently indicate the objects of it. Brought on by Turkey, it will impose upon it the burden of making good all the expences caused by it, and the losses sustained by the subjects of his Imperial Majesty, undertaken fur tile purpose of enforcing the treaties which the Porte considers as no longer existing, it will aim at securing their observance and efficacy ; in duced by the imperative necessity of securing for the future inviolable liberty to the commerce of the Black Sea, and the navigation of the Bosphorus, it will be directed to this object, which is e►lually advantageous to all the European States. While Russia has recourse to arms it thinks that far from having indulged in hatred to the Ottoman power, or of having contemplated its overthrow, according to the accu sation of the Divan, it has given a convincing proof that if it had designed to combat it to the utmost or to overturn it, it would have seized all the opportunities for war which its relations with the Porte have incessantly presented. _ _ - Russia, nevertheless, is very far from entertaining ambi tious plans; enough of countries and nations already obey its laws ; cares enough are already united with the ex tent of its dominions. Lastly, Russia, though at war with the Porte for rea sons which are independent of the Convention of the 6th July, has not departed, and will not depart, from the stipu lations of that act. It did not, and could not, condemn Russia to sacrifice its earlier important rights to endure decided affronts, and to demand no indemnity for the most sensible injuries. But the duties which it im poses upon it, and the principles on which it is founded, will be fulfilled with scrupulous fidelity and strictly observed. The Allies will find Russia always ready to act in concert with them in the execution of the treaty of London, always zealous to co-operate in a work which is recommended to its care by religion and all the feelings which do honour to humanity, always inclined to make use of its situation for the speedy fulfilment of the stipulations of the treaty of the 6th of July, but to make any change in its nature and its effects. The Emperor will not lay down his arms till he has ob tained the results stated in this declaration, and he expects them from the benedictions of him to whom justice and a pure conscience have never yet appealed in vain.

The departure of the Emperor was fixed for the 7th May; the campaign may, therefore, be considered as opened. The operations of the Russian army will commence; it is said, with the siege of Biailow and Galatea. The same letters affirm that the opening of the campaign will be preceded by a manifesto of the Emperor ; and that at the same time his Imperial 'Majesty will cause a letter to be written to the Grand Vizier, which may be considered as an ultimatum, and in which Russia will again insist on the execution of the Treaty of Akermann.

The latest accounts from Odessa say, that an embargo has been laid on all vessels. Tranquillity prevailed At Constan tinople on the 10th o f April. Th ese ac counts point out Sizaboli as the place where the Russians will first enter the Turkish territory. All the troops that can be spared have since been sent in that direction. An embargo is laid on the vessels of all nations and flags, without exception, and all navigation to the Black and White Sea is suspended. The SULTAN, who has never varied in his senti ments, looks forward with stoical indifference, but the great men of the empire think differentiv. Metalliques, 891; Bank Shares, 1012.1.-411genzeinc Zeitung, May 4. As the Catholic. Question will in all human probability be decided this evening in the Housc of Commons, it may seem superfluous in us now to offer any observations on the subject, particularly as all the leading arguments will na turally be again brought forward by those who have still to address the House. But we cannot refrain from very briefly recalling some of those arguments which have been already advanced, by the eloquent advocates of Emancipation, in hopes of their meeting the eyes of those to whom the Division appears the only important period of the Debate, and who may consequently have leisure to peruse the Evening .Journals during the period allotted to bodily refreshment. As to the Treaty of Limerick--we will be candid enough to admit, that there appears to have been verbal inaccuracy sufficient to in validate the deed, by the quirks which are ad missible in a Court of Law ; but in the case of the Union, the flagrant breach of national faith has been established in the most con clusive manner. Let any one read the living testimony of Sir J. NEwronT and the Knight of KERRY, and unless he be the abject slave of prejudice, he can come to no other conclusion. It is useless to quibble about the obligations of the Sovereign, or of the British Parliament, to ratify the Acts, and fulfil the expectations held out to the Irish nation by the Prime Minister of England, and the Lord Lieu tenant of Ireland ; but we repeat it—that the Catholics of that kingdom were basely de ceived. Let them who will,—take advantage of the treachery, and give it their sanction. The question of a divided allegiance should surely be set at rest by the distinct denial of the Catholic Universities, but in corrobora tion the case of the Spanish Armada, and the magnanimity of Queen ELIZABETH were happily alluded to by Sir F. BURDETT. In such days, said the Hon. Baronet, of peril, in a new State, just after the Reformation, when at least one half of the people were Catholics, ELIZABETH had too much magnanimity, as well as wisdom, to listen to the sugges tions of persons who wished to fill her with sus picions of the Catholics. " No," she replied t© their insinuations, " have not the Catholic No blemen and Gentlemen of England, honour, estates, and courtesy ? Will they, think ye, sa crifice them ? Your suspicions and fears are vain." She trusted them, magnanimously and wisely trusted them, and they nobly justified the trust she placed in them. But your Anti-Catholic will say, such con duct answered very well in the days of the Duke of ALVA and the GUISES—but how would it do new when the Pro testant religion has no such formidable enemies ? at least, we should expect Mr. G. Moons to say so. That lion. Gentleman thinks that no deeds of our Catholic ances tors gained them such glory as their struggles against the encroachments of the Papal power; therefore he insists on excluding Catholics. Surely such a man must be worth see i ng , if hi s person harmonises with his mind. TIIE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELPE O'CLOCK. The long looked-for declaration of war by Russia against the Ottoman Porte has at length been received, and is con tained in the Hamburgh Paper (I3orsen Halle) of the 6th inst. It consists of a Manifesto, signed by the Emperor, and also a declaration, and both documents bear date the 14th (26th) April. It sets forth at great length the inju ries and treachery of the Turks towards the Russian Go vernment and her subjects ; two of the most prominent complaints see the abuse contained in the famous Hatti. Scheriff. and the shutting up of the Bosphorus. Other grounds of complaint, as far back as 1812, are enumerated, and it concludes by stating, that she still will abide by the Treaty of July 6, but is determined that the naviga tion of the Black Sea, as necessary to the trade of Rus sia, shall be finally settled for the future ; and that indem nification for the expences she has been put to, as well as for the losses inflicted on Russian subjects, will be demand ed ; and until these objects are attained, the Emperor de clares be will not lay down his arms ; he disclaims any object of aggrandizement of territory, and that he has not even a distant idea of the destruction of the Turkish Empire. if this had been his object, he says, there has been other opportunities before the present period to effect it. This warlike paper appears to have had but trifling effect on the price of the Funds of Hamburgh, the Austrian Metalliques being quoted at the close of the 6th, at 89 to 89j-; Russian, 85i ; neither has the news made any important impression on British Funds. Consols opened at 851 if, but immediately f e ll to 85. The Mebrew party having, however, strewn themselves buyers, and the scarcity of Money Stock have caused them to rally again to their first price ; notwith standing this event may have been the cause of preventing investments in our Funds, however, when more generally known.

The farmer's sup. ply of Oats was again small, and sales were readily effected at rather higher prices, but there is no alteration in the price of Oats in granary. . ... . New. Old.
