We received this morning the Paris Papers of Tuesday, which' contain articles from Germany strongly confirming the reports in circulation dur- ing this week, relative to the approaching com tnencetnent of hostilities between Turkey and Russia. It is stated that a courier has arrived at Vienna from Constantinople, with an answer re jecting the propositions of Russia,which were trans mitted to the Porte by the mediating Powers, and that all negociations had in consequence been broken off at Constantinople. This intelligence had produced a considerable effect on the Aus trian and French funds, both of which have suf fered a further decline, Austrian metallics hav ing fallen on the 22d ult. at Vienna to 74 9-10ths, and Bank Stock to 669+ ; and Trench 5 per cents., which left off on Monday at 87f. 85c., hav ing fallen on Tuesday afternoon, according to pri vate advises to 85 f. chiefly owing to some large sales having been made on account of some Ger man bankers. Information, it is said, has been received by the Ambassador of a Great Power at the French Court, of some movements by the Russian armies, which would serve to be the prelude of commencing hostilities; and the ac tivity displayed by Austria in every branch of her military establishments, indicates her appre hensions on this point. Under the head of Foreign Intelligence we have given extracts from the Paris Journals, 13russels Papers to the 2d instant, and Madrid Journals to the 28th ult., which contain some in teresting particulars respecting the present state of Spain. [FROM PANAMA.] GENERAL COMMERCIAL ARRANGEMENTS, established for the ISTHMUS Of PANAMA. M PORTS. pprtations can be made into this Isthmus for two specific obje, is ; either for the consumption of the province, or for expor ta. ion. IMPORTATIONS FOR HOME CONSUMPTION. (Abstract.) Article 1. All foreign merchandize imported by citizens of Colombia for the consumption of the province shall pay 20 per sent. duty, 18 per cent. to the State and 2 to the Consulate; IMportations by citizens of Chili, Peru, Buenos Ayres, and Mexico, 22 per cent., 20 to the State and 2 to the Consulate ; Importations by foreigners 24 per cent., 22 to the State and 2 to the Consulate. 2. Brandy, wine, and liquors, which are not the products of Peru, Mexico, Chili, and Buenos Ayres, shall pay 24 per cent., and those that are distilled 20 per cent., on their respective va luations, whether imported in national or foreign vessels. 3. The anchorage and tonnage duties formerly paid still remain in force. 4. The following articles are imported fr .!e of duty :—All im plements of agriculture, iron, steel, arms and munitions of war, books, instruments, maps, charts, printing-materials, and ma thincry of every kind. _ _ . 5. As long as the monopoly of tobacco remains in force, the importation for sale on account of individuals is prohibited ; Ili' it may be brought in for e::portation. 6. All foreign flour, not imported from the ports of the South, or Mexico, shall pay, over and above the duties detailed in Article Ist, one dollar per barrel. 7. Gold and coined silver, gold-dust, bullion, gold in bars, jewels, and platina, are perinitted free of duty. 8. Every species of manufactured cloth is prohibited ; and boots and shoes, chairs, sofas, tables, bureaus, and all cabinet- Ware, shall pay double duties. 9. Merchants, whose importations exceed 1000 dollars, shall slowed two moi:lis credit on the duties, on their giving se curity. We yesterday noticed that The Courier, Morn ing Chronicle, and British Monitor, had decid edly concurred in the proposition which we have repeatedly advocated during the last twelve Months, namely, that the low rate of wages is one of the chief causes of the agricultural disiresi: We may add, that it is the chief, if not the only cluse, of the difficulties of all classes. When we say the low rate of wages, we mean the very re :stricted amount of wealth which the labourers are enabled to consume. It is quite immaterial What the amount of wages is in money, or what the \line of any commodity is in money, so as the la bourers, or the possessors of the commodities, are tnabled to exchange their industry or their pro ducts advantageously. We rejoice to see the acces sion to this doctrine of another powerful advocate, The Morning Post, which says, in its lead ing article of this morning, " Unless the wages, of labour rise in this country very considerably, of which, with the present rage for reductions, there does not appear any prospect, we need not fear that our supply will not be more than equal to the quantity which can get into consumption. At present, we shut the mouths of our labourers, — drive them to the parish, and even to rebellion, --and then are surprised that the corn they used to eat is in excess on the market !" What a commentary on this remark is presented ttto present state of Ireland !—But we do e was s owri eclat.: toy of vices. ttrical ,n was )sal of use of Noble Ac- Duke more than shut the mouths of the labourers. We do more than prevent them from consuming : we prevent them also from producing, when we de prive them of full employment !—lt is not too much to say, perhaps, that, including Ireland, our present annual production of wealth might in the very next year be doubled ! The labouring classes not only consume less agricultural produce than they are capable of consuming : they consume less of every article of manufacture,—of every object of utility or comfort that is desirable to man. The increased consumption which it is in the power of the country to excite, by the greater increase of production to which it would give rise, must have the effect of increasing rents and profits to all parties. Land-owners and Capi talists, by combining agriculture and manufac tures, in one concern, on their estates, are certain to have ample rents in the surplus produce remaining after the wants of the labourers have been abundantly satisfied, and after the moral culture and intellectual improvement of the people have been carefully attended to. See to what an extent foreign commerce and national prosperity might be carried under such a system ! It is gratifying to find The Morning Post, a paper so much looked up to for fashionable in telligence, and the more elegant varieties of a newspaper miscellany, also turning its attention to those profound principles of political science s the right application of which is so essential to the well-being of all ranks in Society. The im portance of elevating the value of labour is also ably illustrated in a pamphlet just published, entitled " Practical Observations on Mr. Ri cirtoo's Principles of Political Economy," tkc. By JOHN STUCKEY REYNOLDS, Esq. ROBERT OWEN, ESQ.--This eminent philan thropist, we understand, has arrived in town from New Lanark, for the purpose, we presume, of finally arranging the preparations for the Establishment, which is about to be erected, on his plan, at Motherwell, in Lanarkshire. Should he again submit his propositions to the Public, or to Parliament, in the present Session, we think it highly probable that they will at length re ceive that attention and accurate investigation which their importance merits. IRELAND.-The accounts of atrocities are still numerous ; and amongst them it is most painful to observe that there has been another horrid murder. A. party of Whiteboys on Sunday morn ing surprised the wood-ranger of the Earl of ORMONDE, at Kilcash, and destroyed him with their fire-arms. No less than nine bullets were lodged in the body, which was shock ingly mutilated.—The condition of the poor in the south of Ireland, from the great scarcity of potatoes, (almost the sole food of the pea santry), is described as being most wretched. — A meeting of the respectable Inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood of Bantry, we are glad to see, has been held for the purpose of taking the distressed condition of the poor there into consideration. The Earl of BANTRY, who was in the chair, subscribed a hundred pounds. The Cork Mercantile Chronicle states, that several cargoes of potatoes are expected from different ports in the English Channel, and from Guernsey and Jersey. In Cork the price of potatoes had rapidly risen, in consequence of the scarcity ; and the expected supplies were most anxiously looked for. CITY THURSDAY EVENING. About two o'clock a private express arrived from Paris, quot ing a further decline in the Rentes of nearly 3 per Cent., the price an Tuesday afternoon being 85. This fall is attri buted to the doubtful nature of the internal state of France, but chiefly to the certain information received that the Porte had 'ejected the Russian Ultimatum. The same news have also been received he-e. Tll Consols for the April account opened at 79i, and r2maincd steady until a rumour got afloat that unfavourable arc runts had been received from France, when they suddenly fell to 79k. Many persons, however, affected to discredit the idea of any express having arrived, and prices again got a little better, and they finally closed at 794. That hostilities will immediately commence betwixt Turkey and Russia appe irs at present to be beyond a doubt.—A v ry respectable merchant has received a letter from Trieste, dated the 241 ,ult. giving a very detailed ac- Ci unt of fie naval aolion betwixt the Grecian and Turkish fleets on the 3d ult. It states that the Captain of an English man of war had brought the news that on the Ist of March the Turkish fleet, composed of 6 frigates, 4 corvettes, 23 brigs and other smaller vessels, and 40 transports, passed Cerigo, and that five of them went to Sapienze 'to procure water. In the meantime that the fleets of Speciotts and Ydriots had joined on the coast of Zante, and having received information of the situa tion of the Turkish fleet, that they sailed to Cape Passa, and on the 3d of March came in sight of their enemies with a fa vourable wind. The battle was begun on the part of the Greeks by Captain COLOBOTASSI, commanding a brig of 18 guns, against a large Algerine xebec of 24 guns. Captain coLo , I BOTASSI sent a fireship against the xebec, which immediately took fire, but he could not clear himself from his enemy, and both ships blew up with their crews. About 3 o'clock, P.M. the engagement became general, and continued until two the, next morning with great obstinacy. The result was honour able to the Greeks. All the Turkish transports were dispersed ; 25 of their vessels (great and small) were captured, and the shattered remains of the Musselmen fleet retired into the Gulph of Lepanto. The Grecian fleet was in pursuit of them when fie English Captain sailed for Corfu to give Sir T. MAITLAND notice of the event. He reached that island in 19 hours, and was immediately ordered to Trieste by Sir THOMAS with dispatches, which were forwarded to Vienna when the vessel arrived. The letter further states, " This Captain had been sent to Tripolizza, with 80,000 dollars, to redeem the family of CHUSSITI PACHA, and presenting himself to the Senate established at Argos, received the following answer:— We have n9t made any agreenunt with any Power respecting the ,anzily of Chussir Pacha. Before the establishment of this Senate the people ag-eed to something, but now it is no longer n people with out order or regularity that governs here, it is an Assembly hav ing a system of Government, and who will not sell men for money. Let CHUSSIR PACHA restore the Greek prisoners now in his possession, and we shall give him back his family."—lt is highly gratifying to the feelings of almost every man (instilled into him from infancy) to learn, that the Senate at Argos conducts all matters with the utmost regularity, order, and humani ty. They have published a proclamation, subjecting every man to the punishment of death who kills or otherwise mal treats a Turk. This edict is worthy the descendants of the most illustrious nation the world ever produced. Their soldiers are represented as not yet being on a regular footing ; but they are well armed, and animated with the best spirit, ready for any enterprise, and without any consideration for personal danger or fatigue. Corinth had surrendered by capitulation, and the conditions had been so well observed by the Greeks, that Mothoni was on the point of surrendering on the same terms. Let the Greeks continue to act thus, and success and honour will crown their efforts in the cause of their independ ence. At Trieste the Police called at the Greek houses, or dering them not to illuminate for their victory. The answer was, that they had no intention to disturb the town by doing so.—( Morning Chronicle.) FOR THE SUN. ENGLISH NEUTRALITY. Mit. EDITOR-It has been very confidently stated in the City, that several British Officers have been allowed to enter the Turkish Service, whilst the most strict neutrality has been ob served towards the Greeks—but as I do not be lieve this report, and think that it is circulated merely with a view to create a prejudice against the Government, I beg your insertion of this communication, as it may lead to a contradiction of it from the proper quarter ; for, after the de clarations made by Ministers in the course of the debates on the Foreign Enlistment Bill, it is im possible to believe that they would lend them selves in the present instance to the Turkish Go- vernment. Jamaica Coffee-house, 4th April, 1832. X.-y. Letters dated the Bth ult. have been received from Odessa. The question relative to the free dom of the port remained undetermined, and hopes were entertained by the merchants that Odessa would not be deprived of that privilege. It was thought a conciliatory proceeding that the person sent from Petersburgh to Odessa to inquire into the state of the trade, and to intro duce new regulations, if deemed expedient, had solicited an interview with the English Consul. They had no Constantinople news at Odessa, the winds having been adverse. COMMON SERGEANT.—The Candidates for this ancient Office. are Mr. BOLL AND, Mr. ARAALN, Mr. DENMAN, and Mr. CI:I:WOOD. We understand that the Report which has ap peared in some of the Papers, that Mr. CANNING is to take Mr. ELLIS with him to India, is wholly without foundation.---(Morning Chi onicle.) We learn from good authority that Mr. CAN NING does not intend to vacate his seat for this borough, by accepting the Chiltern Hundreds, until immediately before his departure for India, which will not be before next September,— ( Liverpool Advertiser.) His Majesty's ship Euryalus, which sailed from Plymouth on the 2d ult. with Mr. llAmitrox, the Ambassador to Naples, on board, passed Gibraltar on the 14th ult. Yesterday a Court of Aldermen was held at Guildhall, for the purpose of declaring the Office of Recorder vacant, by the decease of Sir JOHN SILVESTER, Bart., when the same being done by the Lord Mayor, it was resolv e d th a t the office should be filled up at the next Court, and the Lord Mayor was requested to convene a Court on an early day for that purpose,' whereupon his Lordship appointed 'Wednesday the 10th instant accordingly. Some ordinary business was transacted, and the Court adjourned. His Excellency Baron FAGEL , the Dutch Am bassador, and Suite, arrived at Wright's Hotel, at Dover, on Wednesday evening, from London, and embarked on board a boat, which conveyed his Excellency to his Majesty's steam packet the Dasher,lying in the Roads. As soon as he got on board, the guns at the Redoubt Battery upon the heights fired a salute, and the packet immediately got under weigh for A Correspondent informs us that a Lady of Aix, in France, was on the eve of drawing a tolerably large sum of money out of the hands of a notary, where it was deposited : she was awakened suddenly in the night by the clanking of chains and irons in the chimney, which is generally the prelude to the appearance of a nocturnal apparition. An apparition did in deed appear, loaded with all the attributes of Lucifer. "I am the Devil," said he to Madame to receive a sum of money to-morrow, which I shall take for my own account. To-morrow night I shall appear again, when, if you refuse it to me, I will take you away into the nethermost pitt of hell." Madame - promised to sub scribe to all the Devil required of her, but the next morning went to a male friend to relate to him the appearance of the Devil in her apatttnent. He removed her fears by saying he would hide himself in the evening, with two other persous, to surprise the Devil in the fact, and to exercise him. II e took his measures accordingly. Lucifer was exact to hi& appointment, and at the moment he set his foot in the chamber, two police-officers provided with dark lanterns, seized him by the horns and led him to prison. A prosecution was the consequence, and this man in devil's clothing has been condemned to several years solitary confinement. On Monday the following Gentlemen, pur suant to their examinations, were admitted Licentiates of the Royal College of Physicians of London, viz. :—Drs. John Gouldwyer, Tarres, John Gibbs, and Lauver. WARRANTS OF ATTORNEY.—A very important Bill is now before the Legislature, for prevent iug the injustice which is frequently done to cre ditors by secret Warrants of Attorney, whereby persons in a state of insolvency are enabled to keep up the appearance of being in good circum stances, and the persons holding such Warrants of Attorney have the power of taking the pro perty of such insolvents in execution at any time, to the exclusion of the rest of the creditors.— To remedy this, it is proposed to be enacted, that all Warrants of Attorney, or a true copy, with attestation, the defeasauce, indorsements, &c. shall, within days after completion, be filed, together with an affidavit of executide, in the Court in which judgment is intended to be entered up ; and any seizure 'made under a warrant not so filed, to be deemed fraudulent, and the as signees of bankrupts may recover the amount of the proceeds of such seizure. And as the object of this Bill may be defeated by any person giving a cognovil actionein, instead of a Warrant of Attorney, to confess judgment, it is further provided that this instrument shall be filed in • like manner : if given on any condition, the same also to be filed. The remaining clauses enact, that the officers of each Court keep a book, containing particulars of each Warrant of Attorney and cognovit—allowing a fee for filing—copies to be given from the offices —satisfaction may be entered on Warrants of Attorney and cognovits. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday after-, noon a carpenter employed at the King's Theatre, while endeavouring to secure a trap-door,slipped the hold he had of the beam, and fell through the stage and magazine floor, a distance of 37 feet, and unfortunately falling on his head, frac tured his skull in a dreadful manner ) and he died soon after.

CONVERSAZIONTE.—The second, and concluding, Meeting for the present season, of this elegant, amusing, and instruc tive assemblage, took place last night at Mr. OAKLEY'S hos pitable mansion in Tavistock-place. It was attended by a con siderable number of well-known literary characters, eminent artists, and private friends, who were highly gratified by the valuable books, &c. &c. spread upon the tables—the collo quial intercourse—and the attentive courtesy of the liberal Host and his Family. • BRIGHTON, APRIL 3. The Marquis of Anglesey, Lady Jane Paget, and Lord Lauderdale, took leave of his Majesty, and•departed for Lon don yesterday. The Duke of Dorset, Lord and Lady NI arybo rough, and Sir Benjathin Bloomfield, took leave, and left the Pavilion for town this afternoon. The weather yesterday was squally, to-day it has been more favourable, hut with " an eager and a nipping air." The Steyne this morning had a few groups of fashion on its surface, with a 4 4 plentiful scarcity" of equipages on the drives. The Earl of Buckinghamshire arrived. at the Royal York Hotel yesterday, where_ his Lordship continues to. sojourn. The Earl and Countess Cowper are returned, and now are re siding at EgremOnt Lodge. Our fashionable population has also been increased by the arrival of Lady Custon. Her Lady ship occupies No. 6, on the West Cliff: It is still understood that an entertainment, upon an extend ed scale of invitation, will distinguish the Palaee, and give 'agreeaiile bustle to the town next week; upon this subject no thing conclusive as yet has been permitted to transpire. • THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE.—His Grace is still at Chats- Avorth superintending the improvements in that magnificent chateau. The alterations are so multiplied, that but little of the old mansion will bc allowed to remain. The grand front upon which so many thousand poundsbave been expended by its present owners, will be allowed to remain ; but the other parts of the edifice have been pulled down. All the out-offices have been levelled to the ground ; and the kitchen, which was sup posed to be the largest and roost complete building of the kind in the kingdom, has been demolished. Many hundred men are now busily employed in the new erections. At the entrances into the park will be erected lodges of stone after the Doric order. It is supposed that the improvements will not be completed in less than seven years. 1' 0 T lt Y. ECHO AND NARCISSUS. See OVID, lib. iii. fab. v.

Reddere de multis ut verba novissinza posset. v 23. We have to announce the appointment of Mr. W. R. H. BROWN to the Wardenship of his Majesty's Prison of the Fleet. This appointment is perfectly gratuitous, and obviously originating in a just appreciation of the distinguished ability and humanity uniformly displayed by Mr. BROWN, in the execution of his arduous duties as Governor of Newgate. Wilful murder of a black is at length declared a capital crime, punishable with death, in South Carolina. Heretofore the character of the crime was determined by the c3roplexion of the parties, and " killing was no murder" when the sufferer chanced to be a negro. SHOCKING SUICIDE.—This morning a young man, of very respectable connections, named YOUNG, residing at BARTLETT'S, the hair-dresser, in Drury-lane, was heard to arise from his bed about four o'clock, and shortly after the people of the house were alarmed by a heavy fall and a strange noise. On entering his room, he was found lying on the floor, his head being nearly severed from his body, and life of course was extinct ; he had a razor in his hand. No cause can be assigned for the commission of this rash act. FOR THE SUN. EXCHEQUER PAYMENTS. MR. EDITOR— . -I have for some time past no ticed the observation in many of the public prints—that a short time previous to the payment of the dividends, and after the commencement of the payments into the Exchequer by the Re ceiver Generals and other public accountants, money is so scarce in the City that an enormous interest is charged for it, and the mercantile and trading World for ten or twelve days are put to serious inconvenience in consequence of it.— Surely it is the duty of the Government to put an end to this system, which is so injurious to the public ; and it was thought, after the remarks of Mr. RICARDO in the last Session of Parliament upon it ; and the reply of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER to him, that some change would have taken place to prevent a repetition of the evil. The practice is very profitable to a few, but extensively mischievous to the trading com munity, and it behoves Mr. VANSITTART, before the close of the present Session of Parliament, to establish such a system for the payment of Public Monies at short intervals into the Exclie. quer, say monthly, as will in future put an end to the practice complained of.

RENEWAL OF CAPTAIN HALFORD'S 3IATCII.—Thi3 match for the Captain's horse to trot seventeen miles for 200 guineas, was renewed yesterday, and the failure on Monday Fast gave it additional interest. The horse upon that occasion did 83 miles, with eleven stone upon his back, within half an hour, but on being pushed to do the seventeen miles within an hour, the match was lost by thirteen seconds, and it led to the present one, the backers of time thinking too much had been taken out of the horse to complete the 17 miles so soon after. The ground over which the horse trotted was two miles of the same as he performed on Monday, on the Bury road. He carried 11 stone in the former half hour race, and 10 stone in the hour race, and in this instance he carried 10 : , stone, and did each two miles as follows : MM.

He also broke in the eleventh mile ; but he won the race easy at last. This is not equal to the speed of the Phenomena or the Manchester mares ; but it surpasses in speed, for an hour, any of the present day. PEDESTRIANISM.—After the great trotting-match, a coun tryman, of the name of Clarkson, undertook, for 100 guineas, to run ten miles over the trotting-ground within an hour.—lle did the first two miles in 10 minutes, 12 seconds, and half the distance in 27 minutes, 50 seconds. He went on at a winning rate, and did the whole distance in 1 minute and 20 seconds within the given time with apparent ease. SMITHFIELD MARKET, APRIL 5. The market was very thinly supplied with Oxen this morn ing, and but few buyers, as small meat is now more in de mand. In Sheep and Lambs the market was well stocked, amongst which were a great number of inferior quality; a high price was asked for the prime sorts, for which there was a ready sale. Veal remains high in price. Pork is also somewhat dearer. It being Good Friday House Lamb appeared at in,r ket, but not in any quantity.—The price of flay remains the same.

MAIDSTONE., NIARCII 21.—We do not hear of any hops being offered for sale to-day, nor have we any left in the country, of the slig h test consequence. Our information from the different Plantations is by no means favourable : the Golding and Canterbury plants are in a very weakly, and many of them in a very rotten state; the Grape and inferior sorts have cut better, but as yet, in those there is very little appearance of bine, although the weather has been warm and kindly. Our anticipations are that this will not be a bine year. Another acceount says," The hop grounds through Kent and Sussex are principally polled, and show strong bine; but mans' old plantations are stubbed up, from the produce not answering the xpenditure." will Lings xre. ories r ex- have :ness unty es of .ngs, isre. ;ome hout ,ar.c- oric. lair, D re uth- the )un- pro )ose, ony. de.
