ADJOURNED CORONER'S INQUEST....-THIS DAY. The Inquest was resumed this morning at a quarter past nine o'clock. Mr. Major . Goff, the district surveyor, examined.-:--At the commencement of the building I attended regularly eveiydafto see the regulations of the Build ingAct carried intd effect. I foUnd the walls much thicker in every part thin is required by the Building Act. Indeed, throughout the building, the , regulations of that Act were strictly complied With. I attended there only in the capacity of district surveyor. The reason the certificate of the build ill was not filed, pursuant to the Statute, with the Clerk of the Peace, was that the building was not entirely finish ed, there being a flue building at the time of the accident, which pievented my making the necessary affidavit. Hav ing read the. 49th section of the Building Act, I admit that there was a ,projection beyond the line laid down in that section ; but I considered that that projection was sanctioned by Commissioners appointed under a subsequent Act. This witness then underwent a long examination which occupied some hours of the time of the Court, but it was as to matters which have been deposed to over and over again by other witnesses, and as his answers entirely cor responded with there, it is unnecessary to waste our co lumns in giving it, or the patience of the reader in reading it.—He was of opinion that the opening of the Theatre would have been much better deferred for a month or two, but this he said with reference only to the convenience and riot of the safety of the building. He had heard of the weights attached to the roof, but he felt no danger, for he knew nothing of the strength of an iron roof, and he con sidered the conduct of the building to be in very able hands. The balcony, and the putting on and taking off of slates, or any thing that he saw done to the upper part of the roof, had no connection whatever with the accident. On his examination by Mr. Pullen, the witness said, that he considered the front wall of the Theatre the weakest, and when the roof fell, one of the walls must hale given way of neces.ity. The roof was pulled down by the weights which were suspended to it, and the wall next to where, the heaviest weight was affixed, was, of course, most likely to fall.—The Inquest was proceeding when our Paper went to press. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) The supplies this week are small of all kinds of Grain except Oats, of which there is an immense arrival from Ireland. The Wheat trade has remained stationary since Monday, as the prices of Flour continue unaltered. Barley well supports its last quotation. Beans and Pease remain very dull. There is so little doing in the Oat trade that there is much expectations that the factors must take less before they can make any clearance. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley. Oats. Flour.

This day's market exhibited a very limited supply; the hest Lambs commanded a brisk sale, at an advance of 6d. per stone, but with other kinds of meat (owing, the butchers say, to the low prices of salt-fish) the trade was very dull, with Beef at a depreNsion of 2d., Veal 4d. per ston e , inferior Lamb, Mutton, and Pork,, at barely Alon day's quotations.

PLANTATION SUGARS—The show of Watt India Sugars in the market this week has been exceedingly scanty, and bee few boards of good quality that have appeared have then taken off' eagerly, at a further advance of 2s. per cwt. in price ; both the grocers and refiners have shown an evi dent anxiety to purchase, the stock remaining in first bands having now become very small, and, in the event of no further arrivals, only sufficient for a few weeks' con sumption ; consequently the low and middling qua lities, ' which for weeks past have pressed on the market, have participated in the advance, and cannot now be bought at so cheap a rate by full is. per cwt.: there is also an increased deficiency in the total stock remaining in the West India Docks, it being this week upwards of 4,400 Casks less than last year, while the - deliveries, which are os the increase, appear greater; 5,063 bags Mauritius Sugar were sold on Tuesday by public sale, and the quality of the whole parcel being extremely good, much animation in the bidding wee displayed, and an advance of Is. per cwt. given.,ppp more are advertized for to-mon ow.

FRUIT. —The demand for the common descriptions con tinues, hut has been rather checked by the price of Basket Fruit being advanced to 40s. ; there is an arrival this week ; Red Smyrna Raisins maintain their priceS firmly ; a parcel of New Carabourna Raisins has been divided among the trade a 465. In Currants there is no alteration. The Quarterly sale of TEAS which commenced on the 3d inst., concluded yesterday afternoon. For Green Teas the demand was languid, and on few former occasions ob tained such low prices, owing principally to the inferior quantity of the samples, and in some measure attributable to a dislike being entertained in many districts to this sort of Tea ; Boheas and Congous were a mere shade dearer than last sale ; Twankays averaged from 2s. to 2s. 3d. per lb. for middling, and from 2s. 3d. to 2s. 7d. for good Breaks ; fine sorts dearer than last sale ; Boheas from Is. Old to ls. 101 d. ; Congous from 2s. to 2s. 64d. ; [Tyson skin from 2s. to 3s. 111-d. ; Hyson from Se. 1 lid. to 4s. 11 id. per lb. In the Tea trade there is at present greater competition among the dealers than at any former period. All Teas sold at or under 2s. per lb., pay 96 per cent. duty ;—above 2s. per lb. the duty is 100 per cent. In SescEs there is no material alteration, a large sale takes place this afternoon, on account of the Ceylon Go vernment consisting of Cloves, &c. Pepper and Cloves are at a premium on the last sale. SAvrerrae--Seerna at last to have attracted the notice of speculators ; a few days since purchases could be made at 235. Gd., but yesterday there were eager buyers at 255. 6d. per cwt. This morning it is quoted again higher, hut as 2000 bags are to be submitted for public auction late this afternoon, a check is given to any large transac tions. The deliveries from the warehouses in the week ending last night, are very large, viz. 3,575 cwt. bunco is not quite so brisk, but shipping qualities notwithstanding are moderately bought. The deliveries since this day week are nearly 57,000 lbs. Exports to the Continental markets are still made freely. RUSSIAN PRODUCE.-The Tallow market seems to have lost its energy, and the prices are drooping, to-day being quoted at 425. 6d. per cwt. The deliveries since this day week have been 8,023 cwt. Wools.—The demand for Wools is brisk. The deli veries of Spanish, in the last seven days have been con siderable, viz. 226,420 lbs. The advices from the ma nufacturing districts received this morning are favourable. Among the deliveries this week are 23,367 lbs. of Wool from Vera Cruz. . . . . • SeisaTs.---Overproof Runts are much inquired after for shipment. Wines are also in demand to-day. CoTTow.—A want of energy is still felt in Cotton of all descriptions, and sales of Surats are reported on lower terms than last week. The acknowledged activity in the manufacturing department at Manchester, and other places, tends to induce the hope that a reaction will soon occur. On the 21st inst. a large sale cf Cottons will take place, and the East India Company have declared 795 hales of Cotton Wool on the 28th of March. The stock of Cot tons in this port at the commencement of this month, was 5000 bales of American--about 2000 more than at this period last year—of Egyptian about 8,400 bales, or above 9,000 bales less than last year,—of the different descrip tions of East India about 83,000 bales or about 8,000 less than last year. The present stock of Bengal is about 7,500 bales; of Demerara, about 1,000 bales, and of West India, about 1,700 bales. STEYNING MARKET—March 10. 4s. 2d. to 4s. 10d. Veal —.—.. ss. Od. to ss. 4d.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.—SALISBURY, MARcu 13. MU ELDER AND ROBBERY. —Moses Angel and Iliehd. Mizen were this morning placed at the bar charged with the wilful murder of Daniel Bailey, at Hilperton, on the 20th•Novensber . last : they were also arraigned en a charge of assault and robbery on the same day. The prisoners, who were decently attired, on being placed at the bar exhibited none of those emotions which their situation ought to have excited, and we were sorry to observe, on more occasions than one, the prisoners laugh. Mr. Gunning stated the case to the Jury. Ann Pearce examined.—l am a married woman, and daughter of the late D. Bayley; the deceased lived at Kevill, he had a house there of his own, he was 63 years of age. Recollect his leaving home on the 20th Nov. last, at eight o'clock in the morning, he had a silver watch, metal chain and key in his pocket, also about 9s. in silver. I de not know where be was going at that time. I next saw him on the following day, about 12 o'clock at noon, at the Lion and Fiddle, at Hilperton, on the floor on a bed ; he was very dangerously ill, be was much bruised on the left side of the head, the wound had been dressed, and I saw the surgeon, Mr, Mitchell, dress it while I was there. I asked my father if he knew me, and he said " ah ;" he could not walk ; he was afterwards, in the course of an hour or two, taken home ; he died on the 15th of the next month ; he did not recover, he was a healthy man before; he did not appear to be in his proper senses after ; he died of the bruises in his head. George Wenslow examined by Mr. GUNNING—I am a gardener ; I was at Trowbridge on the 20th November last ; I live at Steeple Ashton ' • and left Trowbridge just as the lamps were lighted at Ave o'clock, and went to wards home; in the course of the way I saw Angel on the road ; I was about three quarters of a mile out of Trow bridge; he was in the road ; lie was talking to a girl; I Said is that you Moses, are you going to Steeple Ashton? he said he was; I said come along with me then; he then overtook me, and we went to Ilperton, to the Lien and Fiddle, when we got there we went in and had a pint 'of beer together ; we went into the kitchen ; Winslow and a great many other people were there ; I do not know there might be a score of people; after we were there the deceased came in ; it was about three quarters of an hour after we had been there ; I had known him before ; I recollect seeing the prisoner Mizen come in; Bailey came in first, Mizen after; Mizen went into the corner of the room ; Angel was with me; Angel went to Mizen in the corner; I observed a little time after both to leave the house ; they sat in the corner about ten minutes before they went out. Bailey was in the kitchen, and returned in about ten minutes, and sat by Winslow, drinking—and, on looking round, I found Mizen, Angel, and the deceased were gone; I did not see them go out; I then went to the door, and saw a person of the name of (lettings ; I said, "Is that you ?" lie said, "Yes ;" and we returned into the house ; the prisoners were not then in the house ; after we had been in a little while, Angel came in ; it was about 20 minutes ; he had nothing with him ; I asked him where he had been ; he said, not far; about a quarter of an hour after he came to me, when I asked him that question ; I was in the bar ; it was near seven o'clock ; he came into the bar, and drank ; he said something that was not agreeable to the landlord, and he went out of the bar ; I saw him after, when I left the house, about eight o'clock—he was then in the kitchen ; I left him there ; in consequence of what Giddens said to me,. I said that was Mizen ; we lett both the prisoners there when I went away ; - 1 did not see Mizen come in after I had missed him ; and Angel, Giddens, and me, went towards Steeple Ashton, and about one hundred yards distance I say a quantity of people together. They had a candle and lantern, and Daniel Bayley on a hurdle. They:were resting; 1 parted the people, and said this is poor Daniel Bailey, who was in the Lion and Fiddle ; he looked like a man dead ; he did not wag or speak. Anna Pinnock examined.—l am servant at the bar of the Lion and Fiddle. Mizen had been in the house nearly all the afternoon. Angel came in soon in the evening —may be five o'clock. They went out about 20 minutes or half an hour. Soon after Daniel Bayley was brought in oa a hurdle, he seemed almost dead ; he re mained there till the:next morning. Henry Pernall examined.—l was ostler at the Wool Packs, near Trowbridge. I know the prisoner Angel ; saw him at the inn, on the 21st of November last, about twelve o'clock in the day ; I was in the yard. He asked me if I would buy a watch, I told him no, I had one of my own. He said I had better buy this, lam broke down and want some victuals and drink. I then bought the watch. We had some beer ; I observed his small clothes were torn, and told him it was not very proper fora young m an to have them so. He said he had jumped over a hedge and a stake o n th e night before. I asked him how he came by the watch, and if it was all right ? He said his father had given him a four guinea one, and he did not want two. I asked him how long he had had it, and he said three years. In consequence of what I heard the next morning, I went to the constable Foley, and gave him the watch. Jane Bailey, widow of tirt deceased, examined.—The watch produced was the property of my husband, he had it on the morning before he went away. A surgeon in attendance proved that deceased's death was occasioned by the wounds received on his head. Other evidence Was also adduced, which, however, did not appear sufficient to convict Mizen ; the Jury accordingly found Angel " Guilty."—Mizen, " Not Guilty." Mr. Justice LITTIEDALE then passed the sentence in the usual form, ordering him for execution on Saturday nest. FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS.

A TRAVELLER'S REMEMBRANCES. THE SULTAN AfAHMOUD--TURKISH REVIEW.--THE WRITE AND RED GUARDS. While resident at Constantinople a few years since, I was greatly delighted with a review that took place of the Janissaries and guards of the Sul tan ; the day was also celebrated by the throwing of the djerid. The field, or extensive area, in which this took place, was a beautiful valley, into which _ . the hills sloped gently down; innumerable specta tors were there. The turbaned heads covered with shawls of all colours, wedged in a dense and im movable mass, looked as if the assembly of the faith- ful were already called before the prophet for judg ment—so still was their attitude. The Sultan ar- rived about mid-day, mounted on a beautiful Arabian charger, and encompassed by a mass of splen didly dressed officers, bashees, capidgi bashees, eunuchs, &c. Handsome as many of these men were, the Sultan was eminently the handsomest man in the whole group ; and probably in the whole assembled multitude, there would scarcely be found another .to compare with him in personal advantages, notwithstanding that the Turks are in general fine looking. His countenance has precisely the character of Grecian, blended with Turkish features; the long straight nose, the full, large, melancholy eye, the Oriental lips and chin. There was much of mind in the face, of refection as well as decision; his hair was not visible beneath the folds of his superb turban, but his beard was of raven black. Except the turban, in front of which was a magnificent aigraffe of diamonds, no either part of his dress had any splendour, and yielded in this respect to the habiliments of many of his chief officers. He did not keep his look full in front with imperturbable dignity, as .is said to be the practice of the Sultans, but turned it often from right to left, as any object or individual in the crowd at tracted his curiosity. We composed a party of several Europeans, all English : at one moment we caught his glance, and it was bent on us with a very peculiar expression of scorn and Turkish pride, without, however, there being any hatred or malice in it. Had he then foreseen the fatal defeat that has since been given him by these Franks at Navarin, his gaze had perhaps been of a more deadly character. He rode with much grace, at a slow pace, while a number of his inferior officers ran along on each side of his horse. His favourite body guard, that gathered closely round him when lie took his station in the valley, was the celebrated white guard, so called from the entire of their dress, from head to foot, being of that colour. They were re markably fine men, all of them very tall, and rather slender and elegantly, than robustly formed. Their shilouah, or trowsers, the tunic, the robe, the tur ban and sandals, were all white as snow, and gave to this superb body of men, as they circled round their imperial master, a very peculiar and imposing appearance. It was a cloudless and very sultry day, and their splendid arms, that glittered in the sun, contrasted strongly with the spotless hue of their dresses. Each of these men seemed to have been selected for their beauty, and they were cer tainly, to the eye,noble fellows, though in a close or desperate charge, the ruder Delhis would probably have heat them, for they were not muscular or sinewy, .but their full and fleshy figures bore too much the character of the indolent and monotonous life of the Orientals. The Sultan Mahmoud, on horseback, in the midst of these men, was a striking object : the high pay they receive, and the peculiar marks of favour their master often bestows on them, render them peculiarly devoted to his person. They, as well as the red guards, have had no part in the late revolt, but assisted with zeal in the destruction of their refractory comrades. It was a singular thing to see on this field so many of these men, the haughty janizaries, who were not long after doomed to perish. Of the many thousands on the ground, very few probably escaped. However cruel and despotic the measure that was meted them, their cup was certainly full and overflowing. The history of these lawless troops would present as dark, fierce, and bloody a picture as that of the Praetorian guards of Rome, whom they so closely resemble. Should they meet in the gardens of the Prophet, whither they are ultimely sent lay hetacombs, the many sultans they have dethroned and put to death, the many viziers whose heads have been thrown at their feet, merely at their call, reminding them of the countless tumults and slaughter they have made in the empire—the eternal groves and rushing rivers, and lovely houris, will hardly avoid becoming a scene of uproar instead of luxury and love. Not far from the white guards stood a body of men, little inferior to them in appearance, but less splendidly accoutred—the red guard. The entire of their habiliments, turban, &c. were of this colour. They were not, however, so favourite a body of men, or so much trusted around the Royal person as the former. Not a war worn or veteran countenance was to be seen in either body. The music now sounded, and the fierce and wild cries rung through the field, which are always raised during the progress of this game of the djerid ; the display of horsemanship was beau tiful. The Sultan at last dismounted, and went into a small kiosque, or summer house, built of light materials for the occasion, and open in front ; here he reclined on a splendid divan, with two or three only of his favourite officers, and beheld, perfectly at his ease, the array of troops, and the progress of the game. He was here shaded from the sultry rays of the sun, which fell intensely on all the rest of the field. We felt them extremely oppressive, but the host of Orientals, who stood or sat on the ground, seemed to care very little about the heat. The whole scene was a mere mimicry of war, a childish pageant; the magnificent guards, with all their splendour and accoutrements, looked not like men fit for the horrid front of war, or who would stand a stern contest with determined troops. Their smooth handsome conutenances (for they were mostly young men), and spotless dresses, would have better graced an ancient procession of Grecian youths and maidens to the hill of the Acropolis, than a hot and carnage covered field. The form of their weapons, and even the weapons themselves are not terrible; the long atighan is a kind of half sabre, that would be annihilated by a cut of a dragoon's sword ; the rich kandgar or dag ger is of little use in battle, and the .bayonet they will not have recourse to. Their master, probably, thinks them an invincible body: but the numerous Janizaries, who have been since slaughtered, were, in point of bodily strength and ferocity, the flower of the Turkish troops; unruly and ungovernable they were, but their slaughter and dispersion is an irreparable loss to the empire. Often have I paused to admire their noble figures, the symmetry of their limbs, the arm bare to the shoulder, the naked noble chest, the fearless though lawless look— too, were veterans, at least a large portion of them—men who would fight to the last in the field, , had a roo t e d jealousy for the honour of the tadse Ottoman arms. But they are gone—and long will it be ere the Sultan can raise a body of men to sup ply their loss. Could these men have submitted to the discipline, and adopted the European tactics, the result would have been tremendous. Europe has never seen, not even when the fierce Saracen issued forth from the interior of Asia, a more terrible or formidable body of men than these janizaries, whose number was one hundred thousand, would have been, About two hours after noon the review began to draw to a close; the janizaries began to file off, not in silence, but talking loudly and tumultuously as they passed along, marching more like a body of Bedouins than disciplined troops. an insulting word some of them gave us as they llnay passed along ; this behaviour was confined, however, to a very few ; in general they were con tented with a look, sometimes a good-natured and smiling, or a haughty and grave one, which is in general what they are pleased to adopt. Poor fellows ! I have received kindness from many of them, whose heads as well as the countless ones of their comrades, were not long after piled in heaps at their master's feet, or thrown into the Bosphorus. DUTY ON Mt-INSURANCE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - - - - - - Sir—Among the claims which your spirited and impartial Journal has created on the public, not the least is the manner in which you have drawn atten tion to the duty on Fire Insurance, and demonstrated the impolicy of such a tax. The subject may now be considered as exhausted ; but as it will probably soon come under discussion in Parliament, I take the liberty of offering a few observations regarding it. That the tax is objectionable in principle, no one will venture to deny. It operates directly against the exercise of caution and foresight. If an indivi dual has by industry acquired a little property, the habits which led him to seek its acquisition will lead him to desire its preservation, and in particular to purchase protection against those accidents to which it is exposed from fire. He applies to an Insurance Office, and is informed that the price of such pro tection, is Is. 6d. per cent, annually; but that the Government (in addition to the policy stamp which the office pays) charge a duty of 3s. per cent. per annum, which he must pay. It , a majority of cases those in the situation of the appicant will forego the protection afforded by Insurance rather than submit to the payment of such an exorbitant duty : and in consequence when an accident from fire does happen, we almost invariably hear of families being involved, by the loss of theirlittle property, in irretrievable ruin. Should the individual, whose case I have supposed, be gifted with a larger share of prudence than commonly distinguishes those in his situation, he may overcome his repugnance to pay a duty of 200 per cent. on the insurance premium ; but then, instead of insuring such an amount as would afford him full security against the effects of acci dent, lie insures only such a sum as will save him from absolute ruin, leaving to chance or good luck the-charge of looking after the remainder. Now, it is quite apparent, that this operates di rectly to diminish or keep down the amount of pro , perty insured, and thus to impair the Revenue, which should arise from that source, But there is still a worse effect which results frdrn the operation of the tax in question; it holds out a premium to run the risk of accidents, anti tends to subvert those • principles, which it is the object of all good govern ments to strengthen and encourage. How then, it may be inquired, was the public voice not raised against the imposition of such an oppressive and impolitic tax ? To this it is replied, that the tax was at first small in amount ; that it was gradually increased; and that it was finally raised to its present rate, at a period, when all the great interests of the country were in a state of high activity, and when the nation was engaged in a struggle for its privileges and its very existence. At the period to which I refer, any appeal to the pa triotism of the people was resistless, and the pressure of taxation was borne, not only with patience, but with pleasure. But surely these circumstances af ford no reason for the continuance of a duty against which such strong objections exist. On the con trary, they furnish an additional reason for its reduc tion the instant that the necessities of the State will permit. There is one consideration, which ought to carry with it great weight. Although a reduction in the rate of duty might in the first instance be followed by a diminution of the gross produce, yet there is no reason to doubt that such diminution would in a short time be fully compensated by the increased amount of property insured. At this moment the total amount of property insured throughout the United Kingdom does not exceed a tenth part of the insurable interest; and it may be fairly calculat ed that, were the per centage reduced, a remarkable and rapid increase in the amount insured would be the result. I have never heard a single substantial reason as signed for the continuance of the present duty. It certainly produces a considerable sum, and is at tended with little trouble or cost in the collection; but, were the duty reduced from three shillings to one shilling per cent., I entertain no fear that the Revenue would ultimately suffer ; while the objec tions which now exist. against it would be in a great measure obviated, and the advantages which flow from the insurance of property would be extended to all classes of the community.

The communication which we made yesterday to the people of this realm, and which we are tc,_ day under the obligation of confirming and developing more fully, is by far the most important that ha been published since the close of the ;ast general war, not even excepting the statements which made known the military occupation. of the chief kingdom of the Peninsula by France. :Russia has declared— perhaps even commenced—war against: Turkev Of how fearful an import in its consequences ritiv this fact be ! And yet let us not be misunderstood : the dread which we entertain is of an undefined na ture ; it springs rather from our knowledge of the uncertain issue, duration, and extent of all wars, than from any Ilea 9resight of the courT.e an d career of the presenf.of Russia is at war with Tur key ; but the Turks are no allies of ours. Russia • - also stands bound to us, and with us, to protect the Greeks; and it is not possible to draw po litical and territorial lines of derna; ce r i ti on more strong than those which separate Greece from Turkey. Greece, therefore, ought'to be safe, though Turkey be invaded. By the treaty also with France and England, Russia stands bound to those Power: to secure and protect the substantive gate of Greece as a nation, paying only a certain relevance to the Sultan (something like a fine on taking up a copy hold.) The war which Rusia has declared avainst the Turk, relioves her from the obligation of assurir to him his relevance, whilst it leaves her ,quailv hound with England and France to respect the in dependence of Greece. • This, we believe, is the public law on the subject, in theory ; but, alas' when was law ever known to stay the uplifted sword, or to stop the ravages of the conqueror? it is the breach and contempt, of the treaty Akerman which the 'Russian Emperor propose--- tq Punish • but are there not the allure men t s o f L;a i n , as well as the impulses of resentment, to urge hi , . Imperial Majesty to the enterprise of attackin 7 Turkey ? By the Persian war, he gained not only extension of territory, but a sum of money so a - mplt , as to do much more than indemnify his exchequi , :: for the expenees of the campaign. This result r. , 0 unusual either in war or law, may leave given, not to his Majesty himself, yet at least to his sul.- jects and troops, 4 taste for the limits of fighting :3 -- a love of foreign land and money, imitad to the un controllable appetite for promotion in the ranks of their own army. The Russian soldiers, indeed, said to revel by anticipation in the plunder of Con stantinople, and the Czar might find it a difficult task even if he were desirous, to restrain their impetuo sity or cool their ardour. In contemplating, which we do with pain, the probabilities, or at_ least chances, that the war may be extended beyond its professed objects, Austria of course offers herself to our notice. She is, we learn, in the utmost alarm ; and Prince Metternich !—but lately married! The Prince is, we are assured, al, most out of his mind ! Alas, for Prince Metternich, but lately married, and now almost out of his mind' How heartily could we laugh at the perplexity at this man, if the causes of it were. confined to himself ; , and were not such as might, in their consequences,airec', not only Austria, but all Europe ! It is said that. England is to remonstrate vigorously against this; aggression or attack by Russia up on Turkey, and means even to take as formidable an attitude as she can in- the Morea and the Archipelago. Both Eng land and France have a right to demand explera tions and assurances; and they probably wilt - ty, given without much difficulty. The value which we put upon them will be gathered from the preceding • remarks. Without meaning to im pute bad faith to the Cabinet of Saint Peters burgh, we will assert, that it cannot en gage previously for. the extent. or duration of the war which is now about commencing. To use the most familiar language, Russia " may mean fair, and speak fair ;" but she cannot eontreul events 1 !; She is said to have always twenty-five justifiable causes of war against Turkey, so tlrat she will pro bably make out a fair case in he proclamation, the existence of which Prince Lie yen has announced to our Government. The R%ssian army is already in motion; this month nnil the next being the most favourable for the march of invading forces, on ac count of the first shoot of the herbage which will greatly assist in the support of the cavalry. We have about 8,000 men, we believe, in the lonian. Islands, at Malta, and Gibraltar ; and the troops in Portugal might, it is said, he rendered available. But to what purpose ? We certainly are not going to support Turkey against Russia ; tior has Russia any need of our aid against Turkey. The cause of the war has no connexion with the Greek question it is a cause which exists purely between :Ras sia and Turkey ; and when the declaration of the former Power is published, we shall see what the strength of her case is. We have only to take energetic measures to enforce the Treaty of London: But in ,the mean time we have strong reason for ha lieving,—and we wish that particular attention should be paid to this circumstance,--that Turkey„ not withstanding the blustering tone of her late Maai festo, has begun to feel some qualms respecting her situation, and probably wishes that she had riot, lir: • tened to that advice which induced her foolishly to suppose that the alliance for the liberation of Greue was only a rope of sand, It is very probable that we shall have more facts to communicate before the morning breaks, but we wish the public distinctly to understand that our last intelligence convinces us that Turkey begins to fear, and wishes peace. What ever we may have to add will relate merely to a more explicit notice of the terms of the Russian pro clamation. —Tinges. The following account of the Russian Proclama tion, and the course which that power is pursuing, will be read with interest :—The document, in its tone most firm and determined to carry iv . , object into ultimate execution, rests, we 'anderstand, prin cipally (prominently rather) upea - n the numerous via lations of the Treaty of Akerratan. To those griev ances is added, the anceeP,iftd attempt of Turkey to provoke the late host Cities between Russia and Persia, and to premt pacification together with the avowed intention on the part of the Porte, that she never meant to observe the Treaty of Akermaa On those grounds the war takes place : therefor; no guarantee for the future can be admitted : expences of the war, it is threatened, must ulti mately come from Turkey. The Greek treaty not given up, but persevered in singly or jointly 7i7 the two other Powers choose. The war takes plaea non , upon Russian grounds — Russian grievances she will lay down her arms when, and only w h er ,, they are redressed.
