pf " Ott the frontier of Bessarabia, every thing is ready, and it is thought that hostilities will com mence as soon as the season becomes favourable. " FEB. 27.—The accounts re ceived by the Mail of to-day leave little hope of the continuance of peace between Russia and Turkey. The armies of the former have made fresh movements in Bessarabia and on the Da nube, in consequence of dispatches lately sent fro m St. Petersburg to the Commanders in Chief. It is affirmed that the comtnand of the troops in Lithuania will be given to a foreign Prince, brother-in-law to the Emperor Alexander. As soon as the Turks leannt the movements of the Russians they hastened to assemble troops about Nicopolis, which are to reinforce the army on the Danube. The Turks have besides a line of entrenchments and a considerable quantity of artillery, along the Danube.. To judge by all Thes e precautions it might be supposed that the Russians sere on the point of advancing. A repo r t is in circulation that a great German rower has offered a young Prince of the reign ing House to occupy the future throne of Greece. Such a report needs confirmation. " a , CORFU, FEB. 3.—Yesterda7 letters from the Morea'of the 28th and 29th of January arrived. They state the arrival at Argos of an Agent from th e United States of America, announcing to the Senate that the American Congress would send the Greeks five frigates, with munitions for 40,000 men, in the beginning of May. This agreeable news, which, however, wants confir mation, has filled the Greeks with enthusiasm, 'which they have expressed by firing salvos of artillery in all directions." When will the savage disturbers of Ireland be quelled, is the question put by every one who feels concern for that unfortunate country. Now for more- than half a year we have been shocked by almost daily accounts of fires and murders great numbers of the miserable barbarians have been killed in open contest, or have died on the scaffold • yet the savage spirit seems to be irri tated rather than subdued, and accounts of the most dreadful atrocities continue to reach us. However. lamentable this may be, though there is great occasion for sorrow there is none for des pair. The Irish Government has not yet bad time to bring into exercise the extensive powers with which it is now armed. It is reasonable to hope that very shortly, by the activity of the police, seconded by a strong military force, the nightly mauraders as well as the open insurgents will be awed into tranquillity. In common with all men of all. parties, we place great reliance .uPon the tried abilities and energy of the present .Governor. - It would be strange indeed if bands 0 f savages, however numerous, should continue 1 Much longer to resist the force of thelmpire, di rected as it will be by the Marquis WELLESLEY.— We ccnfidently trust, therefore, that in a very short time the country will be relieved from the horrors which have so long distressed it. It is true that some of the more desperate among the rebels appear to be reckless of their lives, but this 1 3 not likely to be the case with any.great number: the love of life cannot so easily begot rid of even by savages, and therefore we conclude that the re cent exeeptions cannot fail to have produced a great effect. ` But when rebellion has been quell ed, and tranquillity restored outwardly, the in- Ward spirit of revenge will remain, not softened but rather exasperated. Then the task, which is most difficult, will only be commencing, and the wisdom of Government will have room to chew itself. 'T hen we may well ask one another what plans does Lord WELLESLEY intend to Pursue ?—The whole frame of society in Ire land is disordered : the disease is not partial or temporary, but is diffused through the mass of the people, and has been growing for centuries ,Let us not complain, then, or be disappointed, if it should prove that Lord WELLESLEY canuol 4 Pply a perTect remedy in a moment to so corn- Plicated an evil. He is not an empiric, nor does , I lepretend that he has the power of working mi itacles. We have as exalted an opinion of the Powers of his mind and of his ardent zeal for the welfare of Ireland, as the greatest of his ad- i birers, but his powers are human, and he must work by human agents. It cvill be eufficient for his Rlory, to hate originated a happier mode of govern ment, to have pointed out the way to his successors, and it must necessarily remain fora future genera lion tt4eap the full fruits of his patriotism and wis dom. And, after all, where the reformation of a debased people is to be effected, how little can be done by the mere edicts of Government, how `tver salutary and wise ! The most it can do is to remove obstacles, to prevent weak and wicked men from working mischief, and thus provide t ree space for the exertions of enlightened and /* ell-disposed men spread over the land. The greatest enthusiasm ; they regard as sacred the War against the Mahometans. " ODESSA, FEB. 7.—Aecbrding to intelligence from Constantinople of the 2d, the Schah of Per sia has refused the intervention. of . the English Minist(ir,'Lord Strangford, and has issued a.for null declaration of war against the Porte,.ap proving of the conduct of his son. In Arabia, the \Vechabites ale making movements,,and the Pacha of Egypt seeks to render himself inde pendent. impulse may be given by Government, but it will be little felt and will avail nothing, unless it be communicated throughout society in all its orders, by the Clergy and Magistrates, and by all the respectable members of the community.—The chief thing then to be hoped is that the Irish Gentry themselves' will be roused by the present misfortunes of their country, and feel the force of the moral responsibility which is imposed upon them. The peasantry on their estates are fa mished and ignorant ; is it surprising that they should be rebels and barbarians ? Instead, there fore, of revelling iu England, or clamouring against the negligence and misrule of Ministers in the Taverns of London, let them betake them selves to the post of duty. We exhort them to visit their estates, to inquire into the characterand con. duct of their Agents, to provide means of instruction for their poor uncivilized dependents, and con ciliate them by charitable attentions and a dig nified hospitality. If Lord WELLESLEY be thus assisted by men of property in Ireland, and by the Clergy and Magistrates in every district, we are confident that he will not remain many years in that country without making it an ornament and support to the empire, instead of being as it now is and has long been—a source of weakness and shame.—But if instead of lending this assist ance, and thus applying the natural and obvious remedy to the dreadful disorders now raging, any individuals who possess property an d in fluence in that country shall attempt to draw away public attention from the real causes to others purely imaginary, - and shalt pretemd that the savage clans who are now plundering and murdering have been brought to this state of barbarism, 'because a few Catholic gentlemen are not admitted into Parliament and Offices of Go vernment, though during all the disturbances this grievance has not been once mentioned by the Insurgents themselves,—if any individual, on so absurd a pretence, should attempt to assault fur Constitution, we pledge ourselves that we will make diligent inquiry as to his own personal conduct in the discharge of the obvious duties above recommended; and if the result of our inquiry be such as we expect, we shall not be withheld by any delicacy from unmasking him to the country. Having expressed our sentiments in the, fore going observations, it gives us much pleasure to find that Sir J. NEWPORT gave notice last night, in the House of Commons, that he should on Monday next move a Resolution, with a view to insure a full attendance of Members of tha House on Wednesday, the 24th of April next, on the question relating to the State of Ireland. We should be surprised that the Hon. Member should defer the consideration of so important a question -to sosdigtant a day, if we did not pre sume that he waits -to see what measures the Marquis WELLESLEY will adopt in the mean qme, and how far they may operate towards re meoring peace to that distracted country. QUEBEC TRADE.—The Quebec Commercial List contains the Imports' and Exports at Quebec in the year 1811, of which the following is an abstract : Entered 434 vessels, 102,786 tons, 4645 men. 7 Value of Merchandize, paying 2i per cent. £536,191 1 5 Ditto of Free Goods - 10,108 4 I X 546,299 6 6 Cleared 436 vessels, 102,398 tons, 4644 men; five cf which • vessels were built this year, containing 1064 tons. We observe that insidious allusions have been made by the factious writers against the COM MON SERGEANT, because on some recent occa sions he checked the Counsel, who was using. language unworthy ,of the character of a Barri ster, which always should be united with that of the gentleman, and which was totally incon sistent with the dignity of a Court of Justice. With this view, the character of Judge JEFFREYS has been artfully brought forward, with malig- • nant allusions to the COMMON SERGEANT, whom the scurrilous writers dare not of course more openly attack.=We hope, however, that Judges on all such occasions will be equally ready to maintain the dignity of their respective Courts ; but we rather hope that the Gentlemen of the Bar will afford no occasion for such laudably re prehensive interference. FOR THE SUN. Mr. Enrrort.—As every body talks of Agri cultural Distress, and suggests modes of relief, perhaps you will allow me a corner of your va, luable paper to contribute my mite. If the chandlers and melters would give us a better price for fat, we could give a better price for cattle ; but these gentlemen do with us pretty much as they please, without condescending to give us any explanation. On Monday last I gave a higher price for prime cattle, and my chandler, this week, gives me a lower price for fat ; and, when I ask the reason, he tells me that if I do not like his offer I may leave ►t. The truth is, that many of these men are speculators in fo reign as well as home tallow, and combine to gether to form a monopoly for their own pur poses, to get into or out of stock. Some weeks they will give us less, and some more, just as it suits them to fix an arbitrary price upon home tallow. Now, to meet this, let me suggest that some of the leading men of our trade, who make from three to four hundred stone of fat every week, should have a meeting, and combat the melters with their own weapons, by holding stock until a fair price is obtained; for, really, we little folks are sometimes treated so cavalierly that I am almost tempted to ask whether any discovery has been made for producing soap and candles without fat ? If my suggestion is attended to, the beneficial effect upon the Smithfield market will very soon be felt. I am, &c. A SMALL BUTCHER. The business in the Court of King's Bench,-at Guildhall, will terminate its sittings to-morrow. On the CHIEF JUSTICE taking his seat on the bench this morning, his Lordship observed that he would only take one cause to-morrow, and soon after the following notice was issued : " The only cause to be tried to-morrow is NORMAN V. IrciEs, if the _parties are ready.—The Court will sit on Wed nesday, the 10th of April, for the trial of Common J u ri e s, an d Special every followiug.day till the Term."

CONVERSAZIONE.—Ii r e are glad to find that intellectual gratifications of this nature are gaining ground in the country, as they demonstrate the progress of improvement in taste and knowledge tend to promot e soc i a l i ntercourse among men of talents, and to diffuse those habits which embellish society, and do honour to the national character. Mr. OAKLEY last night opened his elegant Mansion in Tavistoek-place, with this laud-. able purpose, as he did last year. A numerous party attended, con sisting of literary, scientific, and medical characters, gentlemen of the law, eminent artists, and private friends. Tije tables were covered with valuable books, drawings, printi, &c. and the en tertainment was consequently so agreeably diversified with these sources of enjoyment, conversation, and the beautiful pictures which adorn the rooms, that the co m p an y did not separate t ill a late hour, highly gratified with the attention of their liberal and intelligent Host.

GREAT STEEPLE CHASE.—Yesterday was the appointed time for the great Sweepstakes Steeple Chase, over 20 miles of rough country, between Captain Holmes and Alessrs. Ricketts and Montgomery, for fifty guineas each. The match took place at eight o'clock in the morning, from Chorley, Bucks, to Nettlebed-hill, Oxfordshire, amidst a field of Fox-hunters.— Capt. Holmes rode a famous bay mare,late the property of Mr. • Barclay, and one of the best of the Farley Hunt ; Mr. Ricketts was mounted on his horse Sloper, and Mr. Montgomery on his roan gelding. The three went off together, accompanied by about a dozen horsemen, and broke from the road towards the ridge coppices, and previously to their arriving, there, each had some hazardous l ea p s . Th e Captain lode through the first coppice, and hi, antagonists skirted it at different angles, and pursued their own course. At Wycombe inclosures the Captain was observed at full speed, and about a mile on his right was Mr. Ricketts making full play. The race was here very in teresting between the two, Mr. Montgoniery having lamed his horse in crossing a rivulet. Capt. Holmes had level, but heavy riding, four miles from home, and Mr. Ricketts was about half a mile behind, on another track, where the horse could make better play ; but Captain Holmes won the match by four minutes. He was the favourite at 5 to 4 against each of his an tagonists, and he performed the distance (about 20 miles as a bird might fly), in one hourand 31 minutes. BRIGHTON, MARCH 6.---The KING, we are rejoiced to state, continues to enjoy most perfect health. There is not the slightest foundation for the statement in one of our local Papers of his Majesty having had an attack of cold. His Majesty is happily tree from all complaint.— The Earl of Liverpool and Sir Charles Paget took leave and left the Pavilion, for London, on ' Monday. MATRIMONY.---AH American writer on this'' subject proposes the following useful rules : That no girl from the age of nine years until the age of 20, should wear either shift or cap that she did not make, or help to make, herself. That from the same period, they should eat neither of pudding nor pie until they could completely make both well, or at least one of them. That upon its appearing that any young lady is thus edueat ed, and really mistress of these several specified qualifications, she shall be considered as adequate to a 5001. fortune. P 0 E T It Y. . SONNET TO THE MOON.* " Oh ! thou pale orb" I love to gaze on thee, Whilst thou art traversing thine azure path, In the still hour of midnight—then from me, The world, the cheerless world, with all it hatli Of cold arra heartless, steals like a shade away, And Fancy only sleeps not, peopling thy sphere ith fair and lovely forms, pure as the ray That falls evin now in chasten'd splendor hare — But whilst thus musing, should some gloomy cloud' Come floating sternly o'er the calm expanse, And wrap thy beauties in its dusky shroud, Alas ! how soon—snatch'd from its fleeting trance.— The mind awakes but to a deeper pain— The forms of brightness fade—and all is dark again. A. L. G. DIALOGUE BETWEEN A FARMER AND &PEDLAR. Late a pedlar fatigued with the weight of his load, Got a farmer to give him a lift on the road, And having as usual a good deal to say, . Ask'cl him what sort of price he expected to-day ? As the granaries upwards were all very full, So the market he thought would be probably dull. FARRIER. It were better to give to my sorrow relief, Than recall to my mind all the cause of my grief. Since the hope's of good markets for ever are lost, And my corn can ne'er pay Inc one half it has cost. But soon produce and labour their level may. find And I cou'd with small profits go on to my mind, I cou'd live still as well as our fathers of yore, If the griping collector ne'er call'd at my door ; But at times inconvenient he comes for his money, And my boy calls a groom, 'cause he saddles, my poney. First our bus'ness with licens'd surveyors commences At the price of three guineas, besides their expences. For what unlicens'd neighbours us'd always to do, • When we paid th em no more than a guinea or so. Now our lawyers too licens'd Most shockingly fleece, Sure to make an exorbitant charge for The lease ; And whenever we layour objections before 'em They immediately cry there's a tax ad valorem. Yet still further we're tax'd for our leather and malt, For our hats and our soap, for our candl es an d sa l t ; And should eeay-duty* e'er be enforc'd, as it may, I am perfectly sure we must all run away. PEDLAR. Yet you made no complaint in the time of the war, When the rate of taxation was higher by far. F. For a very good reason, the price was so great, That my corn brought an influx of wealth to my gate. P. It was not through taxation the price became less ; Then it was not taxation that caus'd your distress. F. Such conclusion's provoking, but talking is vain, When the tongue seeks to puzzle, and not to explain. P. Than your neighbours abroad you are better off still, For their corn is so cheap, lie may reap it who will ; Yet although in that country no taxes are known, They complain of distresses as bad as your own. P. What ! as bad as our own ! though I've just heard you say That they live at full keep and have nothing to pay ? A most impudent falsehood !—get out of my cart, Buckle on your great pack and trudge on to the mart. As you go up the hills you will learn, it' you doubt it, Whether walking's as we ll with loada as without it. The duty on the highways, by the last act, became un reasonably severe, being passed at a time when farmers were thought able to bear unlimited burdens. - - No TE—Our load of debt, however, 1.:.s been incurred from necessity in defence of our lives and liberties, and our taxes must be raised till it be fairly and honestly paid, if we hope to support the character of honourable men.

Mr. Palmer remained in this perilous si gtuation with no other prospect before him than that of a watery rave, till 5 o'clock A. 31., when the smack HERO , , of Wood bridge-haven, Ne wsom , master, carne up and relieved him. The greatest praise is due to the master of the smack for the humane promptitude with which he hastened to the relief of a fellow creature in a moment of so much peril and danger. CLOCK-WOlt KMACCINERY, There are now exhibiting at New York seve— ral wonderful pieces of Clock-work Machinery, which perhaps equal the masterly ingenuity of' the automata of VAUCANSON, or of ALBERT the Great. The first is a small elegantly wrought gold cage surmounting a musical clock-work. In this cage is a fountain, and a bird not larger than a bee, which sings, flutters its wings, and flies from one part of the cage to another. The base of the second is also occupied by a inusical clock-work ;it represents a gmupe of quadrupeds around the basin of a fountain, where a goat drinks, and per forms a variety of movements. In front is a basket with a pear in it ; the moment the pear is touched, a dog on the other side gnashes his teeth, barks, and shakes himself till the pear is replaced, while a monkey behind threatens him with a stick, and in the mean time munches an i apple; a butterfly rests on a pillar above the fountain, and moves its wings and f eet . Th e back ground to this group is a mass of rocks, from among which, now and then, a fox makes its appearance. Above these rocks there is a small patch of blue sky, and the sun turning on his axis, and also accom plishing his diurnal revolution. This is a remarkably compli cated piece of machinery, none of the figures being more than an inch in length. The third is a cage, very large, and highly ornamented. On the top is a black man, who beats time to the chiming of several satyrs and two monkeys, one of *horn grins quite ludicrously. But the most wonderful things are tine canary birds that sing the natural notes of these birds, flutter, and flap their wings, and spring from one perch to another. In this cage is a fountain, which falls by several stories ; and the artificial arrangement of pieces of glass represents so naturally the sound and glitter of falling water, that both the eye and the ear may be deceived. The fourth is a park with two country seats, out of which come two ladies, who exchange mutual salutations, and boW to the company. Attracted by the sudden flight and song of a bird in a grove behind them, they turn and listen. The bird, not larger than a bee, sings and flutters for some time; and then flies away among the trees. Upon this the ladies repeat their bows and curtsies to each other, and to the com pan y, and withdraw into their houses. On the top., of the dome above is a large butterfly, which closes and expands its wings and moves its feet in a perfectly natural manner. This, and in deed all the machinery, play a variety of tunes. The fifth and sixth are two magicians, the French and the American. There is a set number of questions to each, and on any one of these being placed in a drawer for the purpose, the magician goes through a variety of ceremonies, and gives the answer, which is always appropriate ; it is said that several ce lebrated niechanicians 'have been allowed to take these ma;. chines to pieces, yet have never been able to discover by what contrivance the right answer is always given. , The last is called a perpetual motion ; although perhaps the power that it possesses is not strong enough for any application to extensive machinery. It consists of a large wheel, around the head of which are placed, at equal distances, a certain num ber of moveable hollow cylinders, each containing an equal pro portion of quicksilver ; the weight of the quicksilver, which moves from one s'Ale to the other as the wheel turns, determines the horizontal or perpendicular position of the cylinders. By their horizontal position in falling, the circumference of the wheel is continually enlarged on one side, and diminished on the other, by their perpendicular positi on i n r i s i ng ; th i s creates two unequal semi- cir cles, the one more eccentric than the other, and thus causes a perpetual rotation. On Tuesday the remains of Admiral Sir JOHN BORLASE WARREN were removed from his house, in Upper Grosvenor -street, for interment in the family vault in Oxfordshire.
