On two points no doubt exists, which 11 . our opinion do not indicate any' intention on r a ther side to preserve peace, by further negocia :Dn. It was reported that a Turkish Plenipo lelltiary was to meet M. TATITTSCREF at Vienna to resume negociations for peace under the medi ation of Austria, but not a word is mentioned of his arrival or expected arrival. This circum stance, as well as the extraordinary military preparations making both by Turkey and Rus sia, incline us to lieve that the object of M. TATITTSCIIEF'S mission is by no means of a pa cific nature. The passage of Couriers. through Berlin from Petersburgh is very frequent. On the 7th no fewer than three passed through that city—one for our Government, another for the Cabinet of the Tuileries, and a •third for the Government of the Netherlands. ' 6 NUREMBERG,MARCH 11.—We know from good authority that the greatest activity prevails throughout the departments of Foreign affairs and of War at Petersburgh. All persons belong ing to the Government observe so much silence that nothing has transpired with respect to the future plans of the Emperor. It is, however, cer tain that this Monarch will proceed immediately to hi. armies. The Grand Dukes Nicholas and Michael are gone to Warsaw to pass a few days with their brother the Grand Duke Constantine, but will return to the head quarters of the Imperial Guard a short time before the arrival there of the Emperor Alexander. AIX-LA.CLIAPKLLE, MARCH 15.—The pre sence of M. de Tattscheff. at Vienna, where he arrived on the 6th of March, having left St. Peters burgh on the 22d February in the night, already gives rise to a multitude of reports on the im portant mission with which he is entrusted by the Emperor Alexander. It is not doubted that a final decision relative to the affairs of Turkey will be made in the conferences between the Russian General and Prince Metternich.—lt,is affirmed, but this needs confirmation,, that in case of war with the Turks, Austria will occupy Bosnia and Servia with a corps of observation, while the Russians will first take possession of Moldavia and Wallachia, whence they will continue their operations. Greece, it is added, would form an independent State, which would be governed Eby a young Prince belonging to one of the most powerful dynasties of Germany.-- Such are the conjectures in which our politicians indulge, without troubling themselves to inquire whether all these arrangements will 'agree with the policy hitherto adopted by -the Cabinet of St. James's relative to the Greek insurgents. " FRANKFORT, MARCII 12. Letters from Vienna say, that news has been received there from St. Petersburgh, respecting which the Aus trian Government has made nothing public.— We learn from Odessa, that contracts have just. been concluded fox : considerable supplies for the Russian Armies.. An expedition is preparing at Nicolaiew. A great number of transports are collecting there, which are to take troops on board.—Fresh troops from Asia continue to ar rive at Constantinople. They replace three corps which the Divan has sent towards the Da nube. These measures, which announce war, have caused great sensation at Vienna.—The Russian troops which are on the Pruth have made a retrograde march; they have been re placed by other troops. These changes take place every fortnight.'. '" VIENNA, MARCH 7.—Letters coming from a respectable - source confirm the appearance of the Ottoman fleet in the Archipelago. It is not commanded by the Captain Pacha, but by the Captain Bey, the same who was last year block aded with his squadron on the coast of Albania, and was relieved by the fleet of Cara Ali. The fleet before it sailed took on board a great num ber of troops; 10,000 men are said to be em barked in the ships of the line and frigates; some are on board transports. This corps is intended to recover the Morea. Another _carps will ad vance at the same time,•it is said, to the pored from Macedonia, through Livadia." , New York Papers arrived this morning to the 26th February. [From the Charlestown Courier, Feb. 13.] Late and intererting front the Brazils.—Captain SCOTT ar rived here yesterday from Pernambuco, which he left on the 6th January, reports the following.:—After a severe Contest with the Brazilians, he had succeeded in establishing the new Cofistitution, and had compelled the European General, Don LEWIS DE REGO, with the whole of his troops, to embark for Portugal.: illuminations took place, tranquillity was esta blished, and energetic measures were taken by the Provincial Government for the increase of /he Patriot Army. A new Ge neral has just arrived, and 'after hesitating to land for a few days, his troops having fallen to the leeward, his reception was a mockery of military parade by the Brazilian troops. Every preparation had been made to resist the new troops (800 in number) ou their landing, or, if permitted to land, to retaiu them as prisoners. The press was commencing its operations, by the publication of three newspapers in the city of Pernam buco, one only having been• formerly published. American produce at Pernambuco was plenty for the demand, and very dull sale : more of the monied Europeans had left the country. CURA9OA, JAN. 26.... Accounts received this day from Ma racaibo state, that on the 15th inst. General Lrwo CLEMENT' arrived in that city with 1,900 men from Santa Martha, and were going to proceed against Coro, in order to reduce that place. • WEST INDIA INTERCOURSE.-(Extract of a Letter from New York, Feb. 23, 1822) :—" It is rumoured that the British Government pur pose opening their'West India Islands to the vessels of this country, and such expectancy has been supported by a letter from Mr. MARRYATT to the Committee at Grenada. We should doubt much that such a step will betaken, for it would seem that nothing but a compLETE atctotocrrir • ill EVERY SHAPE will induce THIS Government to rescind their restrictive system, though many Memorials have gone from the Southward to that end ; there are others against it, and nothing has been done by Congress in the matter : nor is it probable that there will he." We regret to state that there is now no, doubt of the intention of the Board of Trade recom mended by Parliament, to open and extend the intercourse in American Shipping with the British West Indies. The duties to be impos ed on foreign produce and other articles will be so low as to afford no protection whatever to the Colonies of. British North America ; and the whole scheme appears to be liable to all the objections which were so ably urged by Lord , LONDONDERRY against the Inter course Bill of 1806. Mr. M.4.ItRYATT'S ob servations in last night's debate are quite illusive and capable of being most satisfac torily refuted. The great interests which will be immediately affected by this abandon- Ment of the Colonial System are The King's Colonists. In America—The British Ship-Qwners, and the Manufacturers of the United Kingdom.— The value of the exports from the Mother Coun try will, in a- very short period, fall off more than one third, and ' the whole will center with the people of the United. States. We understand that Mr. BELCH ER and Mr. ATctiE sox, the Provincial Agents for Nova Scotia, are to have an interview to-day with the Lords of Trade on this important subject. From Mr. IVIARRYATT'S speech last night it will be seen that the.distress of the West India Planters, like that of the English Agriculttlrists, and like that of all classes of the people, in almost every country of the world, arises from the • supply of the pioduce of the islands being. greater than the actual demand . 1 . In England, we have more of the necessaries of life than under the existing relations of the people, one with another, we can consume,---more of all kinds of manufactures than under the - same circumstances we can con sume,—and our Colonies can furnish. us with more luxuries than the same relations•permit us to consume. But, it is_also obvious that there is no -physical obstacle to the consumption, by our own people, of .the whole of our products, both domestic and colonial. So far, from there being an absolute excess of any kind of commo dity, it would soon be found, if our powers of consumption' were encouraged and facilitated, that the whole amount of our present annual pro 'duce would be insufficient for the demand ; and it would soon be found, if our powers of produc tion were let loose, that there is no demand, however extensive, which we are not able to supply. Among our other supposed redundan cies, there is an apparent redundancy of popula tion, the excess of which,, being thrown upon the poor's rates, or subsisted at a very low rate of wages, aggravates the, difficulties of all parties, by confining the consumption of produce within the narrowest practicable limits. The ,disco very of a new market for our manufactures would be hailed with extravagant joy.; yet the home market, by the increased consump tion of our own people,- is capable Of a greater extension than we can hope to obtain, under ac tual circumstances, from' all the other, markets of, the world.. It is - proposed, and it , is feared that designs are entertained, to throw open the trade between the United .States and our West India 'possessions, for .the purpose of increasing the foreign consumption of West India produce, though the further effects of the same measure must be to - dimini s h the B r i t i s h consumption of that produce, to affect injuriously .some of the most valuable interests, and to endanger the naval and commercial power and greatness of _the Empire. Yet the whole, of the sup posed, excess of West India produce, and in fact the produce that the islands are capable of- yielding, 'could. be Consumed Within Great Britain, or at least within the British dominions ! And, at the same time, the islands can be furnished, from our own soil, with pro Visions, and With all the other articles which they require, in a manner most advan tageous to themselves, and to the commercial, shipping, and landed interests, and indeed to . the whole of the population of the State ! It is really full time that our actual condition were clearly understood. Our productive powers have out grown all the old modes by which the distribu tion of wealth is effected, and are capable of saturating not,only this country but the world with all the necessaries and comforts of life. Hither to, distress, or particd scarcity,. was the neces sary. agent to excite to production ; and it has effected that purpose till p ro d uct i on o f every kind exceeds demand. Now, it is acknowledged that production can only be restrained by dis tress ! It is the first time, that any country of the world has been in. this situation ; and it de pends upon the wisdom of its Councils whether a conjuncture so extraordinary, and .so favourable to the permanent establishment of public pros perity and happiness, shall be improved, or whether the opportunity shall be lost, and per haps for ever. No measures . have, yet been pro posed in Parliament that are at all calculated to effect this'.important purpose. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING.-..A great deal of business has again been done in the public funds, and a farther advance has taken place. Consols for the Account rose to an, and fl nally closed at 80,i to 81. There is every appearance of a far ther advance, should no unfavourable news be received from the Continent. There is still a considerable bustle in the fo reign market. The new Spanish bonds seem at present to be the favourites, and they have been done as high as 68. The Neapolitan are at 701. The holders of the Sp an i s h expect their bonds will soon - be as valuable as the Neapolitan. The new Columbian stock is noted at 84, and the old at 120 ;• but it is, worth observation, that the names of the Contractors for this new loan in Paris are not given. It would add much to the public confidence in them, to know by what monied power they are sUpported.—The Sugar market is rather brisk, and sales are made at an improvement of 2s. on last week's prices. Coft'ee, on the contrary, is heavy at a decline of 2s. to 3s. Rum' maintains its late advanced value.— Brandy, Geneva, and Wines remain in the same state of depression, and there is not any prospect of an immediate improvement in this branch of Bri tish trade—Contrary winds have deprived the Corn Exchange of the usual supplies of grain. Still this may be called one of the dullest days ever experienced in the trade. Fine malting Barley, of which there is scarcely any on stile, found buyers at 265. a quarter ; but stained and damaged 'samples are literally unsaleable ; scarcely any sales, even of the finest wheats, can be effected.—Tk,' riots in Norfolk and Suffolk have subsided, but failures are day taking place amongst the farmers. —The sales of British spirits are large, but the prices obtained are ex tremely low. In the present state of the landed interest, he is the truest , friend to the country who can open up an additional market for agricultural produce..- 7 ( Morning Chronicle.) The SPEAKER will hold his last. Parliamentary Levee •for the present Session on Saturday next, the 23d, and not on the 30th inst. It was yesterday reported on the Exchange, that the Bank will immediately give public no tice respecting .discounting at 4 per cent. The rumour had a favourable effect on the Funds.— By the late rise of Stocks, the persons who have dissented from the plans of Government have al ready lost 1 i per cent. Five per Cents, were yesterday morning at 104. M. de CHATEAUBRIAND, who was appointed some time since Ambassador to this Court, upon the recal of the.

The KING. took an airing in- an open carriage, leaving the Palace about two o'clock, pursuing the Rottingdean road, and returning between four and five. His Majesty looked remarkably cheerful, and never appeared to be in better health. During the time his Majesty was in public the whole microcosm of fashion, in car riages, on' horseback, and on foot, were abroad likewise, and pleasure might figuratively - be said to be hand in hand with exercise. MARRIACE Tti HIGII LlFE.—Yesterday morning the Hon. Charles Percy; son of the 'Earl of BeVerley, was married to Miss Qreatlied, of Berkeley-square. The marriage took place at `Marylebone Church. The ceremony was attended by the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, the Countess and the Ladies AshbUrnharn, Lady S. Percy, Lord and Lady Lovaine. After the marriage, the bride and bridegroom set out in a chaise and four for the bride's house in Warwickshire. The accouchement of the Duchess of LEINSTER took place in Dominick-street, 'Dublin, on Friday last,, when her Grace was safely delivered of a daughter. - Mrs. Coutts'has engaged the beautiful villa on the banks of the Thames, adjoining the gardens of tlyi Cattle Tavern, Rich mond, formerlyneenpied by Miss Hothani. • - George Lazie-Fox, Esq. we are concerned to, state, is con fined with a severe fit of the gout, at Newmarket. -. DRURYLANE THEATRICAL FUND.—The anni versary dinner of this Society was yetiterday celebrated at the Freemasons' Tavern. His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK was in the. Chair, supported by his Excellency the. Spanish Ambassador on the right, and on the left . by the Earl of Yarmouth. Th e guests we r e extremely nume rous, and comprised amongst them several other. Noblemen and Gentlemen of distinction. After the cloth was removed, " Non Domine," was sung in . fine style Mr. T. Cooke presided over th e musical department. The usual toasts 'then followed, and were accompanied by appropriated airs, &c. When " Prosperity to the Drury Lane Theatrical Fund" was drank, Mr. Kean, as master of the corporation, returned thanks in a speech of considerable length, in which he complimented the Royal President,. and other benefactors of the, charity, and announced th a t th e l a t e Miss Pope had be queathed to it a sum of 5001. Mr. Elliston and Mr.'Cooper were 'also amongst the speakers. The list of benefaCtions re ceived that day amounted to 1,3001. The singing of Miss Po vey, Miss Forde, and Master Smith, as well as MI. Nicholson's Want on the flute, received peculiar approbation.— Want of space prevents our noticing many other meritorious performances in the course of the evening. At eleven o'clock the Duke of, York withdrew, upon which the Ladies retired, leaving, we believe, Mr. Elliston about to take the chair. RUSSIAN POETRY. THE VOW.

M. died, at the house of his Grandmother, the Old Ladv'in Threadneedle-street, in the ' 38th year of his age, Five per Cent Esq. banker. This Gen ' tleman was bred in.the Navy, and Victualling Offices, and has, ' for many years past, been one of the principal bankers to John Bull, Esq. and his extensive family connections. His death ' had been long expected by the best inlikined among the mo nied interest, who had, accordingly withdrawn their transactions from him ; but the larger proportion of his friends and ac quaintance were quite unprepared for the fatal event, and by ' them his loss will he very sensibly felt. His illness was sup posed to have been. occasioned by the great distresses of his elder brother, .an extensive and once opulent farmer, who had early lent his name to the firm, 'and contributed essentially to its credit. The immediate cause of his death, however ; was .the sudden deprivation of his usual allowance of Malt, on which he had subsiSted for many years. He was attended in his last illness by the State Physician,' Dr. Vansittart, who is reported •to have experienced the most lively joy at the de parture of his patient, the support of whom had latterly be come very troublesome. His testamentary dispositions have been for some days known to the world. The bulk of his fortune is left to an infant, nor yet baptised.. The sickly child is already in a very reduced state, and is not expected to survive his father above seven years. In default of him, the estate goes to a near 'relation, Three Pei Cent. Esq., also a Banker. The debts upon it are reported. to be very large. Legacies have been left to a few of his particular friends (Dissenters) who re mained staunch to him in his last moments, notwithstanding the tempting inducements to desert him.—(M. Chronicle.) The Courier lias a paragraph which sounds something like an apology for Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD on his retire ment. Never certainly was apology more uncalled for. We have never heard even a doubt expressed as to the justice of his claim, not merely to the approbation of the Government and the favour of his Majesty, but to universal respect and esteem. But there is such a thing as having too good a claim to general respect and esteem, and too much honesty may not always be the most efficacious means for obtaining or preserving Court favour. This at least used 'to be said of former Courts; but they may be changed now.—(lbid.) T/IE SEASON.—As a knot of beaux were standing on the Steyne at Brighton, the-Kmo drove by in an open carriage ; one of them remarked that he was very lightly attired for the time of year. Lord 0. replied, " that it was only another proof of the extraordinafy mildness of the season, which had enabled his MAJESTY to, throw of his Upper Benjamin."— ( Ibid.) The States of Hanover have complained of an assumption of power by the Ministers of George IV., not warranted by the constitution of Hanover, nor consistent with the public liber ties. The Ministers appear, from a resolution of the States, to have made, " without the approbation" Of the latter, a Lig im posing some new military duty upon the King's subjects—that is to say, without a requisite acknowledged by the constitution ; and from this oppressive act they appeal to the " just and pa ternal sentiments of his Majesty.' •We presume, therefore, that the public officers of Hanover.a re ri ot respons ib le for the advice they give, or for the measures which they Institute.— (The Times.) A loan of two millions sterling has been con tracted for the servile of the Republic of Co lumbia with Mr. ZEA, 'late Vice-President, and now Minister Plenipotentiary of the Republic at Paris, who has been invested with special powers by his Government for that purpose.

India Board, March 19, 1822 The following Copy of a Report from Lieutenant -Colonel MAXWELL, of the East India Company's Service, to the Ad-. jutan't-General of the Army in Bengal, dated Camp, at Mon groule,,October 1, 1821, has been received 'at, the East India House :--- Sin---For the information of his EXcellency the Most Noble the Commander-in-Chief I , have the honour to report, that Captain Tod, political agent in the Western Rajpoot States,* intimated to me yesterday, all hopes of. negotiation having failed, and that I was consequently at liberty to attack the Maharao (of Kotah) Kishore Sing, but that it was politically expedient that the troops of the Raj Rana Zalim Sing should be , principal, or at all events participate fully in The actiOn." This morning both forces moved from their respective.encamp-' meats at three and half-past three o'clock, for the purpose of engaging the enemy near Mongroule, and found him drawn; up irregularly to the north of the town, with a : Nullah and broken ground in the rear. The cavalry, under the Mahara in person, upon the right, and his infantry or detached par ties, with two guns, extending about &zee-fourths of a mile on the left, . covered by a deep tank in front. On arriving within a quarter of a mile of his position, Cap.* min Tod was desirous of once more giving the Maharao an opportunity of coming over, and requested . operations might be suspended pending his proposal, but this terminating like all former attempts, the action soon after commenced by the Raj Rana's artillery;and six pieces, under Captain Campbell, opening directly upon, and within three hundred and fifty yards of the Maharao, -whose cavalry app eare d d evote d to-de struction in his b e h a lf ; but the whole of the artillery was too well served to be resisted, beyond a few minutes, by the most determined enemy. Unfortunately the continuation of Zalim fire, longer than was actually necessary to break those opposed, prevented.so immediate a charge or pursuit as might have been wished. On its cessation the troops crossed the Nullah, and Major Ridge, with two squadrons 4th Light Ca valry, soon came in sight of the principal body of the enemy's cavalry, under the Maharao in person.—He immediately form-. ed, and charged with the greatest promptitude ; but I am.deep ly concerned to add, with the loss of two brave enterprising young officers, Lieutenants Reade and Adjutant Clerk, who . nobly fell in the service of their country.. Major Ridge Was , severely, though not dangerously, wounded by a sabre in his head ; and much as all those who admire his distinguished gal lantry must be concerned at his sufferings, yet considerable consolation arises from the assurance of its .not being likely to keep him more than a few days from: the able discharge of his duty. The enemy : was followed up till twelve o'clock by all the troops; and Zalim Sing's horse were then directed to con tinue so long as any hostile parties could be traced. In result I have the honour to report the caPfure of two guns, nearly the whole of the baggage, and all the camp which was left standing, as if such a (to them) disastrous termination had never been contemplated. It is difficult to. ascertain his loss with perfect accuracy, but from what has fallen under my own observation, I do not think it can be'estimated under two hun dred killed, including many Chiefs ; and such of their own reports as have hitherto reached us make it five hundred. The • • Maharao's p a lk ee ( P a l anqu i n ), with gold and silver sticks, have been brought. mto'the Raj Rana's camp, and his younger brother, Maharao Pirthee Sing, is a prisoner with us, severely and dangerously wounded. 1 come to the performance of a most pleasing part •of my duty, in reporting generally thb good conduct of all the troops.under my command, but my best thanks are particularly due to Major Price, who com manded the right column of attack with the desired success; to Major Ridge, and his highly distinguished corps; to the 4th light cavalry ; to Major Kennedy, of. the sth light cavalry, for the zeal and energy displayed throughout the day, and the ready alacrity with which be adk , anced to the support of their more fortunate fellow soldiers in the 4th. The promptitude, ardour, and • indefatigable exertion of Captain. Campbell, and his troop of native horse artillery, were so conspicuous throughout the whole operation, as to claim my warmest approbation and thanks ' • nor can I pass over th e exertion of Captain Farrin g t on an exertion artillery under'hts im mediate command, attached to Major Price's colunin, without the expression of my cordial acknowledgment. Captain Mar tin, commanding 2d battalion 6th regiment, led on his corps with the greatest coolness and regularity, and•soon defeated the enemy's infantry in his front. As it was necessary to have an Officer duly qualified attached to the troops.of the Raj . Rana Zahn). Sing, I nominated Lieutenant M'Alillan, of the Ist of the 6th, who was a volunteer in camp, to that important duty ; and I feel much satisfaction in reporting his successful exertions and able management of that force: The conduct of those troops is highly p ra i sewort h y, an d merits my warmest approbation. The artillery was admirably well. served, and the wnole were firm and collected during the action. A sense of duty induces me to acknowledge this, 'Whileat the same time I have no hesitation whatever in declaring, that the result_ would have been, if possible, more satisfacto r y, h a d no t th e i r presence cramped the operations of the British 'force, or had they been so decidedly at my disposal es to have allowed me to have availed myself of their services at discretion. It is with much pain I enclose a list of the killed and wounded, for, though numerically small, the .most brilliant success would have. been dearly purchased.by the loss and suf ferings of those highly lamented Officers, whose names have been already recorded in this report. In conclusion, I have so many opportunities of noticing the admirable exertions 'of the'Assistant-Quarter-master-General, Captain Hall, that to enlarge upon them at'present might be deemed superfluous: I can only add, that T this dayreceived from him every assistance that the most active and indefatigable mind could possihly, suggest. My most sincere and gra t e f u l t h an k s are a l so due to Brigade Major Spiers, Captain Cubitt, Detachment Staff, and Lieut. Burns, of the Commissariat, for their very great exertions, and the zeal and promptitude with which they conveyed all my. or ders and instructions. I have, &c. ' . W. G.

MAXWELL, Lieut.-Colonel Commanding Field Force in Harrowtee.. MURDER OF MRS. DONATIA.—No satisfactory clue to the discovery of the murderers has yet been discovered. The police are indefatigable in their exertions, but without success. Last night, a long examination was taken at Bow- street, in consequence of a pair of ladies' boots, and a pair of ragged small clothes, very much marked with blood, having been sold by a child eight years old to Mrs. Haines, the keeper of an old clothes shop, in New Round Court, Strand. Mrs. Haines having very properly given information of this suspicious fact, the child, Elizabeth Rigby, together with her father and mother, and Mary Wood, her aunt, were appre hended and brought to the Office. The child at first denied all knowledge of Mrs. Haines, but afterwards acknowledged, though in a hesitating and doubtful manner, that she had sold her a pair of small clothes resembling those produced. —The other prisoners denied all knowledge of either the boots or the small clothes ; and the latter, on trial, were not large enough for Rigby. —Rigby further stated that he had !dent the evening of the murder till half-past eleven, at the Thistle and Crown, St. Martin's-lane, in company with one Askew, and about twelve other persons. On this statement, a constable , was sent for Askew, in whose bed a waistcoat marked with blood was found. On being interrogated, he said, that he had cut his ear some months ago, and that the waistcoat had not Since been washed. The suspicious small clothes were much too large for Askew.---The prisoners were re manded for further examination.
