Grattan, and Miss Fortcscue The friends of humanity throughout the civilized world, may congratulate themselves on the signal success which appears to have attended the efforts of our Ambassador to the Sublime Porte to put an end to those excesses of fanatical bigotry against professors of the Christian faith, which' have so long disgraced, and so recently polluted, Constantinople. Our readers sill not have forgotten, among other instances of Mohammedan intolerance, the cold-blooded execution rank of an independent monarchy. The noble con duct of the Greek Ministers and the people of Athens, in the revolution of the 15th of September last, was an exhibition of temperate decision, of an inherent genuine love of national liberty, and of a moral power of abstinence, in the moment of their triumphffrom all that could sully its lustre er impede its onward pro gress, worthy of the best days of their best patriots and heroes. But it was not to be expected that a weak Prince like King artio, although some notorious evil coun cillors were then carefully removed from about his person, would be able to redeem, in all sincerity and strictness, the spirit of the pledge he at that time gave to his people, to accept and abide by the bases of a Constitutional Charter forthwith to be prepared for his adoption. There was but too much reason to ap prehend that—whatever might be the disposition of King OTno (on finding that his opposition to the great national movement in question had proved altogether fruitless, and might, if persisted in, involve him in personal danger) to act up to the engage ment he had frankly given to his subjects—the agents of certain Foreign Powers would not, without a determined, though secret struggle, permit the esta blishment of a state of things—the formation of a constitutional Government—which must inevitably prove fatal to the influence of the Crowns they re represented, and to the further success of those Crowns in discouraging the principle of representative go vernment. of an Armenian (if we rightly remember) which oc curred in the capital of Turkey only a few months ago. The unhappy victim had been artfully betrayed into the expression, in some way or other, of a desire to become a Mussulman ; and, under the impression that the whole affair was one merely of banter or jok ing, he fatally assumed the turban for a day or two. It he really meant but a joke in doing this, he began to find that it was but a sorry one; if he had been sincere in proposing to change his faith, he speedily thought better of it. In two days he resumed his Armenian-Christian habiliments, and doffed his tur ban. For this last act of contumacy he was denounced by some bigot neighbours ; taken before the Cadi ; denounced by the Alollah ; and sentenced to be deca pitated. Sir STRATFORD CANNING, the Moment that the affait came to his knowledge, accompanied by re presentations of the imminent danger in which the wretched offender was, addressed the most urgent remonstrances to the Divan ; and, in personal con ferences with the Turkish Minister of Justice (by whatever appellation that officer is designated) pressed fur the release of the unfortunate Armenian. All his entreaties and negotiations were finally unavailing. The poor man's head was cut off; and, his body being exposed in the market-place, the head was placed be tween the knees, vi ith the cap or hat upon it, to add to the indignity with which it was desired to visit upon him the penalty of the offence. The mob of Constantinople, always to the last degree superstitious, fanatical, and brutal, indulged in atrocious gesticula tions and pleasantries on the. subject; and for some time it was impossible for any Frank—especially if he was attached to the suite or household of some one or other of the European Ambassadors—to show his face in the public streets without being reviled br hooted at, or even pelted, by a vile rabble of beggars, disbanded soldiers, &c. Sir STRATFORD, with his accustomed energy and spirit,,brought the affair under the notice of the SULTAN and his Primo Minister. He would not be amused with vague and general promises of "managing these things better" in future. He did not relax his noble stand against these judicial and bigoted murders, till now so common in Turkey, until he had procured a solemn and formal undertak ing from the Porte that they would not be again per mitted.

We have been well pleased to record the arrival in this country of a copy of the Constitutional Charter of Greece, consisting of 107 articles, " de finitively settled by the National Assembly, and finally adopted by King Orno. The intelligent cor respondent of the Morning Post, in - a letter dated " Athens, Mare& 20," has forwarded a • graphic and interesting account of some transactions which have attended the consummation of this great national manifesto. They are calculated to produce a mingled feeling of pity and of anger in respect of the young King of GREECE. Orno seems tempted to merit the biting censure upon the now excluded section of the Bourbons, conveyed in that reflection of the late M. DE TALLEYRAND, that "they have learned nothing ; land—they have forgotten nothing." Thus, says the correspondent alluded to, " when the Charter, after all the protracted discussions upon it, and the intense anxiety thereby created in the public mind, was, at last, sent to the KIeKG for his ratification, to the surprise and dis- I may of most people, his 'MAJESTY returned it 1 with so many alterations, that the Assembly had to take the matter again into serious consideration. It cannot be denied that, by such conduct, the KING placed in the utmost jeopardy. the popularity he had been gaining during the last six months." In this and other matters, the infatuated young man had not only acted "against the advice of the representatives of England and France, but also that of MAVROCORDATO, COLETTI, and the other Greek Ministers, to whom he only communicated a parr of his objections, and added a great many more without con sulting them at all, one of which was, that political of fences should not be tried by jury. Fortunately, how ever, the wisdom of the Assembly afforded a great con trast to the folly of the KING, as it was at once de cided that, as debates were likely to arise, in which very open mention would be made of the KING and his proceedings, it would be proper to have the sit tings secret while such discussions continued. Ac cordingly, for three days the Assembly deliberated with closed doors, at the end of which period it was announced that ten of the KING'S alterations were accepted, and sixteen or seventeen rejected, the Assembly being unanimous on all points. It is notorious that the KING was placed in this false position by having been induced to follow the advice of the Prussian Minister, Mons. BRICIER DE ST. SIMON, and that of Mons. PRIVILEGIO—a position nearly as critical as that of the 15th of September ; but, providentially, his MAJESTY seems to have ' been suddenly convinced of the error ha had been led into, and, within an hour of receiving the final de cision of the Assembly, sent down a message to say he adopted the Constitutional Charter as it now stood. The message was received with great acclamation by the Assembly, and the populace went under the Palace windows and cheered, when his MAJESTY appeared at the balcony, and bowed in acknowledgment." This is an ominous indication of the continuous ten dency of "Prussian principles," which, from the per sonal character of his Prussian MAJESTY, we regard rather with disappointment and regret than with sur prise. It suggests matter, too, for some observations on the singularly marked course of Russian counsels, in their new delegated channels of Prussian interven tion, to which we shall hereafter call the serious attention of our readers. This document has been given with certain forma lities, too, which are well calculated to increase its actual authority and its influence among the native subjects of the Porte. We subjoin a brief extract from the correspondence of a Morning Contemporary on this subject : " CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 20.—Yesterday evening, a note identique was transmitted by the Porte to the English Ambassador, and the Ministers of France and Prussia. The contents of this communication, which has reference to the demands of England, France, and Prussia, on the subject of executions for causes con nected with religion, are highly satisfactory. The Porte declares that, desirous of proving that its in stitutions are not incompatible with the mainte nance of friendly relations with the Christian Powers—it pledges itself that no acts, of the nature of those objected to, shall again take place. This so lemn declaration will, no doubt, afford sincere pleasure to every friend of peace, civilisation, and religious liberty ; it is a great triumph in the cause of humanity, and it is, moreover, fraught with the most important political consequences to the Porte. The three Powers above-mentioned having intimated that they would withdraw their friendship and protection if the Porte rejected their demands, it follows, as a matter of course, that they are bound to befriend and support it to the best of their ability, now that it has made this noble effort to comply with them. The same straightforward policy that required the sacrifice will strictly fulfil the obligations it has imposed. The Porte may now look with confidence to the prompt and cordial assistance of those Powers ; and, certainly, as everything in the po litical horizon seems to indicate, it had never more need of their friendly intervention than at this moment !" If anything could add to the gratification we de rive from the " triumphant conclusion," as the writer terms it, to which Sir STRATFORD CANNING has brought this delicate but important business, it would be that we find he was most ably seconded and as sisted in his measures by the Minister of France at the Porte, the Baron BOURQUENET. It is an en nobling spectacle to see the representatives of two mighty Powers, sinking all conflicting pretensions connected with the minor interests and affairs com mitted to their charge, and thus making common cause in a vigorous and successful appeal on behalf of outraged humanity. But if we turn from the metropolis of "Islam," and its occasional brutal sacrifices of an individual Chris tian or so, to the proud capital, or the more ancient provincial cities, of the "Most Catholic" of all the mo narchies of Christendom, what shall we see there at this day ? Christian soldiers and civilians butchered in cold blood, or shot by sections under the orders and by the hands of compatriots, also calling them selves Christian men ! We shall see the state-ma jority of a young Queen, and the return from exile of her mother, severally signalised by the most san guinary excesses of political vengeance ! Why should not England and France accredit a solemn embassy to the Court of Spain, insisting sternly on the present cessation and future extinction of these atrocious crimes, in the name of all Europe, and in the cause of European peace ? Are the ruling autho rities of Spain more cowardly, more bigoted, more bloodthirsty—less Christian, in short—than those of Mahommedan Turkey, that it is assumed they would turn a deaf ear to all such remonstrances ? Or are the Spanish people so much more debased and bar barous than the Turks, that it is supposed they would resist such an intervention of France and England on behalf of human nature ? Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Home Secretary of State, and consequently one of the most important Members of the Cabinet,—who is, or should be, the Premier's right-hand man—has just been refused that post which, by all accounts, he so much coveted—namely, the Lord-Lieutenancy of the county of Cumberland. Notwithstanding his claims upon that county, backed by his obseqious and unblushing Toryism, Sir ROBERT PEEL has discreetly decided against the "renegade Whig," and has resolved to continue the post in the family of LONSDALE, who have hold it EGYPTIAN lIALL, PICCADILLY.

On the contrary, we are strongly—some may perhaps say wickedly— disposed to rejoice at it, as furnishing an impressive proof of the declining influence of one of the most notorious political apostates of his day. Had the Netberby Baronet remained constant to the opinions he once held, he would, with the talents which he undoubtedly possesses, but of which he makes so ill a use, have been one of the most influential men in Parliament, and exercised no slight ascendancy over the minds of his countrymen ; but he preferred the slippery, tortuous path, to the broad, straightforward one, caring little about consistency, provided he could only put himself in the way of getting a snug birth in Downing-street, under the auspices of a Minister who bid fair to maintain his post for some length of time. Well, he has gained the great object of his ambition ; he is installed in office under the powerful Tories in- , stead of under the feeble Whigs ; and what is the conse quence of this realisation of his most cherished hopes ? Why, just this—that at the present moment, not withstanding the high post he occupies in the Cabi net, he has less moral influence with the country than any man ever possessed, who held the same distin guished position in the Government. His party, it is true, still pay a sort of forced and interested deference to him, because they know him to be possessed of all the useful qualities of a Tory tool ; but no really inde pendent Member cares two straws for what he says, or places the slightest confidence in his political prin ciples. As a Minister he has shown himself, during the whole period of his connection with the PEEL Cabinet, as little better than a mere bungler, Who forgets the pitiable figure he cut with his Factory Education Bill last year, which he was compelled to abandon in breathless haste, because he refused to allow the arrogant pretensions of the Church to be one jot abated ? There were some good paints in this faulty measure, as we mentioned at the time, but the Home Secretary The sympathy of Europe is never more acutely touched and awakened than when it is appealed to by the efforts of Greece to consolidate the new position she has assumed among the family of modern nations. Her ancient glory, --matchless alike in science and philosophy, in arts and in arms,—attained its true perfection in the extent and character of that refining influence which her example exercised upon all other civilised States, not only in the ages of her own pre-eminence, but (in a less or a greater degree) through all succeeding time. Her sufferings and her wrongs, protracted through a stormy period of eighteen hun dred years, to the close of the first quarter of the present century, had given her additional claims on the generous assistance of European States, who owed her, already, so large a debt of gratitude for the intelligence, the learning, the wisdom, which her noblest children had bequeathed to the most distant posterity. Alternately betrayed by the policy of the Emperors of Germany—excited or deserted by the perfidy of Russia—she had reaped, from her many I gallant efforts to shake off the intolerable thraldom of Turkey—since the closing years of the career of Som.. 1 ESKI and ALEHEMED—IittIe other but the bitt er f ru it s 1 of unavailing conflict with organised power, and with hopeless physical and numerical superiority. Twenty years, only, remove us from that memorable stage of her eventful story in which she first successfully made head and rallied her resources—scanty as those i were—against her Moslem masters. Following up those efforts with incredible pertinacity and resolu tion, at an awful sacrifice of Greek blood and Greek establislunents, she rapidly achieved her way to a political position in which she became the subject of protective negotiations between some of the first-rate powers of Europe and the Sultan. From the cha racter of a. supplicating appellant for protection against the mere brute violence and eater minating fanaticism of her oppressors, she has now advanced, by degrees which must be fresh in the recollections of our readers, to the ft Gil WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAT. !doming .., 2 minutes after 7 I Evening 36 minutes after 7. was afraid to carry them out, because he knew well that the party with whom he acted would not permit the just claims of the Dissenters to be received with the slightest attention. Then look at his famous Twelve Hours' Bill, his bungling management of which--exhibiting, as it doe=, feebleness on the right, and vigour on the wrong side of the question—has given the Government a shock from which it will be slow—very slow to recover! Poor Sir JAMES GRAHAM ! lie is a species •of political Mar plot, and adroitly contrives to mismanage and jeopardise every question which he takes in hand. As regards the Lord-Lieutenancy of Cum berland, we are heartily glad that his claims have been rejected in favour of those of the Earl of LONSDALE; for though the Noble Earl is a Tory— and our admiration of Toryism is by no means ex cessive, but stops considerably short on this side idolatry —yet he is at- any rate a manly and con sistent one ; he has never adopted one set of principles to day, and another set to morrow, but has maintained throughout his public career a steady, open, undeviating c'iurse of policy. Besides, he is known to be a punctual,-re- solute, intelligent man of business ; when he held the Woods and Forests none were more liked by those with whom he waa.brought into official contact ; and TH E SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 10, 1544, as Postmaster-General, he is confessedly one of the best that we have had for many a long year.

The following is the speech of his Excellency the Governor of Jamaica, in closing the session on the Ist of March : " Gentlemen of the Council, " Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly, "I have much satisfaction in granting you a recess after the labours of an unusually protracted sersion. "The assiduity and zeal which you have evinced in the discharge of your high functions, the prompt at • tention you afforded to the suggestions contained in my opening address, and the many useful enactments which you have passed, demand my warmest acknow- The Paris papers of Sunday have been received. Being Easter Sunday the day was observed with rather more solemnity than usual, and but little busi ness was done at TORTONI'S. _ _ The Editors of the Gazette de France and the Nation have each been sentenced to a year's imprison ment and a fine of 12,000 f , for a libel on the Govern ment. The 'offensive publication was a letter, written by M. DE ROCITEFOUCAULD, Due de Doudanville, ad dressed to the Gazette, in which it first appeared, and afterwards copied into the Nation. The author of the letter has not been prosecuted. The articles in these papers being mostly on domes tic subjects, have not much general interest. The ' vote of the Chamber of Deputies on the Stamp Duties on Newspapers does not excite so much attention as might have been expected ; the commerce only has an article on the question. A paragraph in the Journal du Hare states that a conspiracy had been detected among the black popu lation of Cuba, the object of which was the destruc tion of all the whites in the colony. Captain Boca- DIN, of the Tigre, who communicates this intelligence to the journal above named, states : " Some days befoie my departure a vast conspiracy of the nrgroes was discovered, the object of which was to seize upon the whole of the island of Cuba, and to mur der all the white population. Numerous arrests had already taken place, and the number was daily added to. Unfortunately, among the number of those who are in prison there figure several of our countrymen (French), all planters from the neighbourhood of Matanzas, and among them are some of the most esteemed of the num ber. These unfortunate men have been arrested on the declaration of a free negro, who was formerly the slave of one of them. The negro, it is said, for the purpose of warding off the suspicion which fell upon himself, went and accused his old masters, and thus got them imprisoned. M. Mollien, the Consul-General of France at the Havannah, was actively engaged with this affair and there was no doubt that, in consequence of his zeal and firmness, our unfortunate countrymen will soon be restored to their afflicted families." The Tigre left the Havannah on the 3d of March. The National still publishes long lists of subscrip tions to the sword to be presented to Admiral Du- PETIT T1101:ARS.

"I trust that the labours of the Commissioners, whom I have named under the Act for appointing a commission to inquire into the charities of the island, will be attended with benefit to the colony. " The encouragement which you have afforded to the establishment of industrial schools, and the liberal grants provided for the relief of the sufferers by the fire at Kingston, and the erection of a lunatic asylum, are proofs of your solicitude for the general welfare The formation of a railway between Kingston and Spanish Town has been sanctioned by. an Act of the Legislature during the current session. Thi , project may be presumed to indicate increasing confidence in the resources of the colony, and will, it is hoped, tend to their further development. " I shall have much satisfaction in g iving effect to the measures which you have passed for the encou ragement of immigration. "Two Acts have reached rne, the one entitled An Act to enable the Court of Chancery to order the sale and conveyance of the real estates cf lunatics, and to grant leases for a limited period of estates in receiver ships ;' and the other, An Act to . prevent trespass on property,' from which, in consideration of the tenor of my instriteions, I have felt it my duty to withhold my assent, until I have had the means of communicating with her Majesty's Government on the subjects to which they respectively relate. The for mer of these Acts confers new and extensive towers upon the Court of Chancery, with the view of bene fiting parties interested in estates in receivership, under orders of the court. With respect to the latter, after much deliberation, I have come to the conclu sion that some of its provisions in their present shape are susceptible of a construction inconsistent with the principles of British law, as affecting titles to pro perty. Such an operation of the Actcould not, I appre hend, have bees contemplated by its promoters, and would tend, it is to be feared, to check those feelings of mutual confidence and affection which are happily springing up between all classes in the community, and towards the growth of which your legislation has so remarkably contributed. " Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly, " I thank you for the supplies which you have granted for the public service of the year. The re venue of the colony will, I trust, be found sufficient for the purposes to which it is appropriated by the Legislature. " Gentlemen of the Council, " Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly, "I am deeply grieved to learn that the continued drought has seriously injured the crop in some dis tricts of the island. " The peaceable and orderly demeanour of the population during the late Christmas season was the subject of general remark, and afforded me the most sincere gratification. " The appointment of a Bishop of approved piety, ability, and zeal to the diocese of Jamaica, has given much satisfaction to the colony. " The patronage which her Majesty has been gra ciously pleased to bestow on the Royal Agricultural Society of Jamaica is an inducement to increased exertions on our part in the promotion of agricultural improvement, and a gratifying proof of the interest taken by our beloved Queen in the welfare of he r subjects - in this island. " It will not, I hope, be considered out of place if I express, on this occasion, the deep sense of obliga tion under which you have laid me personally by the evidence you have given of your participation in my domestic affliction. " You are about to separate, at a. period when your presence at your respective homes is much required. It is my earnest desire that your endeavours to pro mote the general welfare, and your own more imme diate interests may be attended with success ; and that contentment and happiness may prevail among all classes of the inhabitants of the colony. " I do now, in her Majesty's name, prorogue this General Assembly to the 2d day of April next, and it is hereby prorogued accordingly. The House having returned, the list of Bills to which his Excellency the Governor had been pleased to give his assent was read, as was also a copy of the speech his Excellency was pleased to deliver... His Honour the Speaker then declared the House to be prorogued to the 2d of April next by his Excel lency the Governor, and Hon. Members departed, congratulating each other on the termination of their "abours. One of the most rapid passages ever made across the Atlantic has just been completed bar Captain Burs ley and his noble ship Hottinguer. the Hottinguer left Sandy Hook on the 23d, and made the land in 13 days, when a calm came on and kept her some 36 hours in the Channel without making way. She brings 2,400 bags of cotton. AV hen the Hottinguer left the city of New York, the news by the steam-ship Caledonia had not arrived at New York from Boston. This arrival furnishes news from New York five days later than received by the Montezuma; the papers are, however, unusually barren of interest to the European reader. Commercial matters appear favourable ; in most tie partmrnts there was considerable activity. Our New York correspondent state; that " the springhas come upon us suddenly. The North River, as well as all other rivers in this vicinity, have broken up, and the steamers are running in every direction. Our list of arrivals shows a great increase. The hotels are filled a month earlier than common. Our merchants are quite actively engaged. The supply of goods is large, and the assortment good. The transportation from the city, south, is through the Jersey and Pennsylvania canals ; our own great Canal will not be open until the 19th of next month. As the navigation of the Lakes has commenced much earlier than usual, the amount of goods to be brought through the Canal will be large." The cotton market has settled down into regular business. The stock in New York was never known to be so large, amounting to above 150,000 bags. Speculation had ceased, and shipments are made in the usual course. Holders were keeping cotton back till the arrival of the Caledonia. There had been a good deal of panic in Wall street on the subject of the Texian question, and a sudden fall of stocks was the consequence. Stock operator; have felt the influence of this sensation in the fall of stocks. The agitation still continues to some extent, but it has in some degree subsided. The Texian and Oregon questions are calculated to have an effect on mercantile matters. The rate of exchange on England was 107 i to 108 ; at the latter price a large business was done for the Hottinguer. On France the rate was sf. 32e., but nothing done. Canada by this arrival We have nothing new from DR. KALLEY AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IN PORTUGAL. The case of Dr. Kalley, a Scotch physician, who was, last autumn, illegally imprisoned at Madeira, on a charge of " blasphemy and heresy," and abetting apostacy and heresy," has been tried at Lisbon and Funchal. On the 24th Feb., the Judge Conseivator at the latter place passed the following sentence :—" Sup posing the British subject, Dr. Kalley, to have dis turbed the public order of this island by preaching doctrines opposed to its religion, as is sworn by the witnesses ; and considering this preaching an abuse which degenerates into crime ; nevertheless, the said Dr. Kalley, as a Protestant, which he is, is not punishable, seeing that there does not exist a law to punish in the person of the accused the act charged. I, therefore, declare the accusation given against the said Dr. Kalley: irrelevant, and order him to be held clear of guilt.' Baffled on the religious question, Dr. Kalley's pro secutors, we understand, are going to institute pro ceedings against him as a disturber of the public peace. On the other hand, Dr. Kalley, at the sug gestion of Lord Aberdeen, is about to petition the Government at Lisbon, for compensation for the loss of his professional income during his illegal im prisonment. In the course of the proceedings before the tribunal of Rellacao at Lisbon, the public prosecutor, acting as counsel against Dr. Kalley, gave a very lucid ex position of the existing law of religious liberty in Portugal, wherein he clearly showed that the supre macy of the Romish Church is no more, but that Portuguese subjects enjoy the same iherty as Englishmen do in all religious matters. He says, " I do not characterise the accusation as bias phemy, nor as heresy, because these crimes are only considered such when committed by follow ers of the Roman Catholic apostolic religion, and not by those who, like the appellant, follow a different faith, and therefore, being , extra ccclesiam, are beyond all censure civil and ecclesiastical. Nor can I characterise it as apostacy, because I under stand that the crime of apostacy ceased to exist among us in virtue of Article 145 of the Constitutional Charter; in which ample religious liberty is guaran teed to Portuguese citizens in the following terms : No one shall be prosecuted fur motives of religion ;' wherein the absolute term no one' excludes all ex ception of persons, and the very broad expression for motives of religion' embraces all that relates to the re • ligious creed of every one ; and, therefore, if these two citizens apostatised from our religion, though they did greatinjury to their souls, yet they did not commit any civil crime for which they can be pu nished." The holiday train on the Dover' and Brighton Railway came up last night crowded with passengers, to the amount of a thousand persons. The day was as fine as could be wished, and all parties seemed to have enjoyed the day's trip to the utmost. The arrange ments made by the Company were in every way com plete, and the great number conveyed at so rapid a rate for so many miles without accident is, perhaps, as great a proof of the safety of steam conveyance as has ever been furnished. The town of Dover has enjoyed a large share of the patronage of the Londoners in their brief interval of leisure. The cliffs, the beach, and the Channel breezes, seem to have. had irresistible charms for the many in " populous city pent," for they have availed themselves of the opportunity of visiting them in hundreds. The ancient Cinque-port has rarely seen such gaiety as it has witnessed this Easter. DARING FEAT.—Mr. Daly, the celebrated steeple chase rider, betted a wager with Mr. Sefton, of Grant ham,.that he would jump the rails and dyke in front of the Lincoln stand with• the reins in his- -mouth and the stirrups over the saddle; and which he cleverly (?) ac complished after the second race, on a horse he had not creased before.—Stamford Paper. • • .74',17" -V , 8 fj . k • ',, , ,, ,, 011,111 • ~ s.

Easter Monday being observed as a close holiday at Paris, very few of the journals were published on that day, and these contain no domestic news of much importance. In the Courrier Francais, however, we find intelligence from Constantinople to the 20th ult., which shows that the Government of the Porte had at length listened to the advice—and, we b e ,. lieve, also threats—of the English and French Am bassadors. The answer of the Porte was given on the 19th, and the Government promises, in the most positive manner, no longer to inflict the punishment of death on renegades. As to the religious law, no mention is made of it. The Porte also promises to treat Christians kindly. The two Ambassadors, how ever, do not consider these concessions satisfactory, and they demand, in addition, that renegades shall not be got rid of by poison or by any other under hand practices. It was added, that though capital punishment would no longer be inflicted, renegades, however, would be condemned to the galleys for life. Nearly the same account appear s i n the Journal d e Frankfort:with the-excep'ion th a t th e P orte had not announced its intention of inflicting the punishment of the galleys on renegades. Another journal of Monday states that letters had been received at Constantinople) which give frightful accounts IMPORTAST FROST ST. DOMINGO. CAPE HAY TIEN, MARCH s. —lt is reported here that the mayor and municipal officers (seven in number) of Petite iteviere—a small town in the west, near St. Marc—were massacred a few days since by the military. On Sunday week the civil officers of this place received an anonymous note, threatening them with the same fate, unless they should immediately resign; and they have consequently closed their office, and taken clown the national flag. The same has been done by several other of the municipalities. The cause of these disturbances is briefly this :—By the new Constitution the power of the military is greatly abridged, and that of the civil authorities proportionably increased; hence the Constitution is unpopular with the army, which alone has any real power. It is taking matters into its own hands, and the President, it is said, secretly favours the design. Many citizens here appear to think it a mistake to have have effected a revolution — the chief purpose of which was to reduce the army, and then to elect the most successful soldier President. Whether any more serious difficulties will occur is at present uncertain. Business goes on as usual. The brig Rocket, Hardy, of Boston, arrived on the 26th ult., the only arrival since our last, per schooner Baltimore. LATER FROM HAVANNAIL—We learn from the pm sengers in the barque Hualco, which left Havannah March Bth, that some of the slaves who had participated in the late insurrection at Matanzas, had implicated several of the planters at that place, who were arrested by the authorities and thrown into prison. The brig Danube, of and from New York, for Matanzas, was totally lost, on Salt Key, Dog Rock, with the exception of $3,000 in specie, and a small portion of her cargo, anchors and cables.

By telegraphic signal from Oporto we learn that the cannonade against the town began on the 30th.

The Turkish Government have imported a printing machine of the best and latest construction, from Paris. The habit of smoking has become so universal and so imperious in Belgium, that a carriage in each railway train is set apart fur the fumeurs. Ladies who may attempeto get into it by mistake are told its purpose, but no warning of the kind - is given to gentlemen.

The Report expressed the congratulation of the Committee on the improved prospects of the Charity, and s' ated that, although the number of annual sub scribers had considerably augmented, nevertheless the number did not yet amount to one-fiftieth of those en gaged in the trade. The total funds now in the banker's and treasurer's hands amounted to 1611. On Monday the number of visitors to the British Museum was 21,339.

He is a pupil of Dr. Spohr, and brings letters from that eminent musician to members of the profession in England, highly commendatory of him. M. Pott was selected in 1841 to conduct the great festi val of Salzburgh in honour of Mozart, which attracted together the leading musicians from all parts of the Con tinent, and became one of the most pedect performances on record. A statement having gone forth to the public that some inconvenience would be occasioned in the Dividend office of the Bank of England in consequence of a num ber of the clerks being required to give attendance at the trial of Barber, Fletcher, and others, at the Old Bailey, for forgery, it is as well to explain, to set the public mind at rest, as the dividends are payable to morrow, that the places of all those who may be absent will be supplied by efficient and competent parties. The melancholy interest created by the awful conse quences of the late fire in Oxford-street continues undi minished. Throughout the whole of Monday crowds of persons visited the ruins, and it _was with consider able difficulty that the police, who were stationed out side the building, could induee the populace to move on, so anxious were they to obtain a glimpse of the scene of desolation.
