FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, APRIL 10.—The Gazette of Augsburg, of the 14th instant, states, that expresses had arrived at Galatz with the intelligence, that on the 12th ult. the Turks had attacked three Attssian ships in the Black Sea, and had seized -two of them, under the pretence that they had property on board belonging to Greeks. The Prince Royal of Prussia, after having vi. sited the Royal Family of the Netherlands, went to Brussels, and thence set out on his return to Berlin. The Belgic Journals are quite silent -respecting the object of his journey. " it was reported at Paris yesterday that officers belonging to the British Navy, now in France, have received orders to return to their country. ' It is reported, says the Ami de la Charte of Nantes, that orders have been given to reinforce ,the sanitary cordon on the Spanish frontiers. It seems certain that the chasseurs of the, Pyre pees, in garrison at Poitiers, a detachment of _which we have at Nantes, are about to rejoin the cordon. In consequence of discoveries made to the Lieutenant General commanding the sth military division, several .officers of the garrison have been arrested at Strasburg. A telegraphic dispatch received on Monday states that the town is per fectly quiet. A letter from Strasburg of the sth- says that the officers arrested are confined in the military prison. It was asserted, at the moment the courier departed, that the same measure had -been adopted towards several other military men -belonging to the garrison. Various reports are in circulation relative to the causes of these arrests. It is stated that General Buton and his fellow -conspirator IX ton are arrived at San Sebastiaui, in Portugal.

AUGSBURG, APRIL 3.—We know from good - - authority that in the last conference which the Austrian Internuncio, Count de Lutzow, had with the Reis Effendi (Feb.l 5 or 16), the former insisted strongly on an indemnity being given to Russia for the expence of maintaining an army of 150,000 men on the Turkish frontiers, during the last six -months. The indemnity required is very consi derable, and the Reis Effendi expressed the warmest dissatisfaction at the demand, declaring, in the most formal manner, that the Sultan was determined not to make any sacrifice of the kind. The Russian troops, whom want of forage and provisions had compelled to retire from the army , of Bessarabia, and to take up cantonments in its rear on the Dniester, have received orders to re turn with all expedition to their former positions. The Iletaerists in this province are actively or- gEtnizing themselves under the direction of Rus sian officers; and Riga and its environs swarm with troops, destined to form a corps of observa tion on the shores of the Baltic. AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, APRIL 3.—lf the Turks •tio not first commence hostilities, it is thought that the Russians will not open the campaign Until the middle of April. A letter from Vienna states that the Senator de Tatischeff has sent expresses to the Generals . in-Chief of the Russ!an armies of the South and the West. 'Orders have been received at Cronstad from Petersburgh to get the ,fleet in that port ready with the greatest dispatch. Fresh communications have been made to Denmark on the part of Russia. APRIL 4.—We learn from Warsaw that it would be difficult to form an idea of the activity displayed I.)y the Turks in their preparations for -war. Fresh divisions of troops continue to march from Constantinople to the Danube ; and the Pacha of Belgrade is making preparation for the approaching arrival in Servia of a large Turkish corps, with a considerable park of artillery. Letters from Vienna, of a recent date, say that it is currently reported in that capital, that the troops which form the garrisons of the Lombardo- Venetian towns Kill assemble and be. sent to Austrian Dalmatia, and there form a cordon on the frontiers of Turkish Dalmatia. It is.added that these troops will be replaced in Upper Italy ,by the army of General Baron de Frimont, from which it is conjectured that the kingdom of Naples will be evacuated by the Austrian troops very shortly. FRANKFORT, APRIL 4.—Private letters from Trieste state, that the remains of the Turkish squadron, which were blockaded in the Gulf of Lepanto, have surrendered to the Gr'eeks by capitulation. Other accounts say, the Turkish squadron was attacked by, the Greek fleet, and either - taken or burnt. ODEiSA, MARCH 15.—News from Constanti- nople of the Bth mention, that nothing is talked of but a war against Russia. In the neighbour hood of Constantinople there is an army of 150,000 men, all Asiatics. Letters of four days later date state; that the military preparations of the Government inspire the Christians with the liveliest alarms. Yet the capital is tolerably quiet, and the Mussul mans appear to direct their attention to fo reign affairs. The answer of the Sultan to the mediating 'powers has excited among the Turks an universal sentiment of joy ; they say with feelings of pride that it is worthy of their Caliph, of their Emperor. Several vessels under foreign flags have been seized at Constantinople and their cargoes con fiscated, which has occasioned several remon strances on the part of the Foreign Ambassadors. LEIPSIC, MARCH 30.—Orders have been given by the Russian Government for the formation of an -army of reserve near Kaluga. Very large magazines and the reserve of artillery are also to be established at Kaluga. TRIESTE, MARCH 25.—A conspiracy has hen discovered in the Isle of Hydra. A woman named Geninsto, the wife of a Greek who is serving on board the Turkish•fleet, determined, with her accomplices, when that fleet'appeared before Hydra, to set fire to the Grecian fleet, -and to spike the cannons of the battery of the ,ourt, so that the Turkish fleet might possess itself -of the island. Captain Sakuloirch, who had been admitted into the plot of this woman, discovered the conspiracy: The parties were instantly arrested, and on the appearance of the Turks before Hydra they were compelled to take to flight, seeing that every thing was prepared to give them a warm reception. COMMERCE. The following are the Regulations of the Co lumbian Republic, in regard to Foreign Com merce : " All vessels belonging to friendly or neutral powers, front whatever quarter of the globe they may come, are henceforth to be admitted into the ports of Callao and Huanchau. SVithin ten hours after their arrival, the captains or supercargoes are bound to exhibit a complete manifest of the cargoes, which the Government Inspector will translate within 48 hours, for the purpose of its being transmitted to the Custom-house ; imme diately after they may unload, if it suits them ; and if not, they must depart within six days from that of their arrival. During the above-mentioned 48 hours, the captains or supercargoes are likewise bound to appoint a consignee, who must be a Pe ruvian Citizen. airing the unloading of the cargoes, all ves sels are liable to admit Custom-house Officers on board, and foreign ones to pay an anchorage duty of four reals per ton, which is reduced to two in favour of national vessels. All goods brought in foreign vessels are to pay 20 per cent., ac cording to the market prices, as settled at the beginning of every month by two merchants, whom Government will ap point out of- a list of 24, made out by the Tribunal of Com merce. If the goods be under the Columbian or La Plata flag, the duty will be 18 per cent. ; if under the Peruvian flag, 16 All manufactured articles interfering with the industry of the country, such as ready-made clothes, tanned hides, soles, shoes, boots, chairs, sofa 4, tables, chests of drawers, coaches, and other carriages of pleasure, saddles, and other articles of saddlery, lamps, horse shoes, wax, spermacetti, and tallow candles, and gunpowder, are to pay double the above duties. But all implements of husbandry, or for working mines, all other warlike stores (except gunpowder), all books, scientific instruments, maps, types, and presses, and machines of all kinds, may be imported duty free. Stamped silver is to pay, on exportation, five per cent., and coined gold two and a half per cent., in whatever vessel they may be ship ped. The exportation of gold or silver in lumps, ingots or wrought, is strictly prohibited, on pain of confisca tion. An export dut' of four per cent. will be levied on the other products of Peru, when shipped in foreign vessels of 3} per cent., when in vessels under the Chilian, Columbian, and Rio de la Plata flags, and 3 per cent. under the Peruvian flag. The export duties are to be paid by the exporters at the time of shipping the goods, and for the amount of,the import duties the consignee is to give, at the time of landing the cargo, three notes of hand, payable in 40, 120, and 180, days. If a captain or supercargo should find it suitable tore-embark his goods after landing, then he will be allowed to do so, paying a tran sit-duty of 1 per cent. and the amount of the import duties which he may have paid shall be reimbursed him. If there be any difference between the invoices and the contents of the boxes or bales mentioned in them, the penalties will be confis cation, if the difference be great, and double duties if inconsi derable. Consignees are not allowed to retail in their stores. The coasting trade is reserved to the natives. For the purpose of facilitating the conveyance of the products of the country from one point of the coast to another, an exclusive privilege is granted to the ports of Paita, Huacho, and Pisco ; but the landing of foreign goods at those ports will be punished by the confiscation of both goods and vessel.—Smuggling of any kind is liable to the same penalty. And lastly, eight months previ ous notice to be given by Government, whenever they resolve upon altering the foregoing resolutions." CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. There are no arrivals from the Continent this morning, and as the gentlemen connected with the Stock Exchange have been fully employed in settling the late account, not even a rumour has been circulated. In the public Funds scarcely any transactions have been effected, and the Consols for the May account, which opened at 784 remained during the day without any material alteration, and finally closed at 713 i In the French Rentes, scarcely any busi ness is doing, and the price here is 86f. 50c., being one-half per cent. lower than yesterday. The prices of Foreign Se curities are more steady than they were two days ago. The Russian 6 per cent. Paper Inscriptions are quoted at 82, the fixed price of Exchange 12d. The Prussian 85 a 85i. The Neapolitan 66 a 664, with a fixed exchange on Paris at 25f. 65c. Messrs. HOPES' Spanish 51 per cent. Loan, 62i a 62 ; the exchange 12 guilders ,. per pound sterling. The Spanish Bonds issued in 1820 are 65 ; exchange 4s. 3d. a dollar, and the Sterling Loan of 1821 is quoted at 65 a 654, and at these prices they find buyers. In the American Funds scarcely any business can be done, because the value of the dollar is fixed here at 4s. 6d. and it is 13 per cent. less valuable in the United States.—lnterested purposes have produced such conflicting ac counts respecting the differences betwixt Russia and Turkey, 'that less business was scarcely ever done in Foreign Exchanges than on this day ; even a great character in money transactions was observed taking a lounge in. Cheapside, under the arm of a Bank Director, when some of his friends expected to find him supporting his usual pillar on the Royal Exchange. The public may, however, rely on the contents of theletter from Odessa, pub. fished in The. Chronicle this day being perfectly correct, at least, the writer of it never before misled his friends, and on this occasion there is no cause for his attempting any deception.—The few transactions which took place in Money Exchanges were done on Paris, at 25. 40. for three months, paper ; and at 25.. francs for paper at three days sight. On msterdam, the Ex change was 1. 12. 5.; Hamburgh, 36. 11k. a 37., but on the whole there were few buyers of Bills, because silver is considered a more profitable remittance. Silver in bars is 4s. 111 d. though in many instances ss. is demanded, and dollars can be bought at Is. 101—There was this day a considerable sale of East India Coffee, which went at 100 s. 103 s. being fully 3s. under the last public sale of the same article. About 300 bags ofyepper were sold at the same time, at 74d. which may be considered a fair price. Sugar is exceedingly dull, and in Rum nothing is doing. Brandy has advanced about 6d. a Gallon, occasioned only by an idea that the vines may suffer, should the Spring be a severe one. The advance on Saltpetre, since the certainty of the rejection of the Russian Ultimatum by the Porte has been known, is from 12 to 15 per cent. The price of refined being 345. to 355. Cam phire and every article used in war have experienced a propor tionate advance in value ; and should the Ministers consult the interest of England in preference to the interest of the Holy Alliance, the first gun fired must be the signal of Commercial prosperity, and of additional eomfortito the different Nations of Europe. The Greeks may again call forth the gratitude of the world, and in effecting their own independence, they may be the media of extending the liberties and happiness of their neighbours.—The supplies of all kinds of grain at the Corn Exchange are still most abundant.. There is a very slight in 'quiry after bonded Wheat, and one cargo has been shipped to Portugal, and another to Amsterdam. There are likewise some capitalists willing to purchase when the M editerranean markets require to be supplied from ports without the Straights of Gibraltar.' The millers also she a greater disposition to buy fine and sound Wheat ; but there is no advance in prices. Damaged and inferior qualities are as unsaleable as ever, and for Barley and' Oats there is hardly any demand.—(Morning Chronicle.) WEST INDIA INTERCOURSE. A BILL to REGULATE the TRADE between HIS MA JESTY S POSSESSIONS in AMERICA and the WEST INDIES, and other PLACES in AMERICA and the WEST INDIES.

Our Readers will recollect that we lately no ticed a inmphlet entitled COBBETT'S GRIDIRON, the purpose of which was to expose the gross f t and shameless inconsistencies of a 'Writer whose talents none can deny, but who has disgraced them by such contradictory opinions and decla rations, that he has totally lost the respect of mankind, in so much that whatever he may now publish, even though supported by knowledge as well as ability, if read at all, is treated with contempt and laughter. The pamphlet alluded to contained parallel passages extracted from COBBETT'S Works, in which his opinions of men and things were placed in contrast with each other, and shewn to be so entirely in contradiction on most subjects that it might be supposed the author, after such glaring inconsistency, would have sunk into , silence and obscurity. We understand that some public spirited gentlemen circulated many thousands of that pamphlet all over the Kingdom, to prevent the unreflecting readers of COBBETT from being any longer deceived by his sophistry and ar tifice. Those who thus promoted the circulation of that pamphlet rendered an essential service,to their country, in opening the eyes of the unwary, and as lIENay the Fourth of France said that he wished every peasant in his dominions had a pullet in his pot, so we earnestly wish that every man in the Empire had a copy of that pamphlet. The publication to which we now draw the attention of our Readers, viz. The Gridiron, or Cook's Weekly Register, began .with per tinent strictures upon the gross contradictions Of COBBETT, and justified them by similar ex tracts from his works, to manifest his total want of shame in maintaining different opinions at different periods, and lavishing his praise and abuse on the very same persons. The work has reached to three numbers, and has assumed a more miscellaneous character, but is consistent in its principles, which are obviously loyal and constitutional, and which, on the various subjects which it introduced, is candid, spirited, and ju dicious. Whether the name of COOK is personal or metaphorical we pretend not to know, as we were only attracted by the spirit and tendency of the work ; but, taken in either light, it must be acknowledged that the Conductor caters well for the and we presume that his chief lite rary dishes and entremets will be foUnd accept able to the general taste.

THE SC • SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1822. We have received this morning the Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday, the contents of which are highly important, as respects the question of peace or war between Turkey and Russia. It would appear by the subjoined ar ticles from Vienna, that the Ambassadors of England and Austria have succeeded in prevail ing upon the SULTAN to retract the offensive ex pressions against the Emperor ALEXANDER, con tained in the Note of the REIs EFFENDI, which rejected the Ultimatum, and to consent to its reconsideration ; yet the general opinion in the Austrian capital is decidedly warlike ; and what is still more remarkable, The Austrian Observer, the official paper of the Austrian Government, has preserved the mos fi perfect silence on the affairs of Turkey for a considerable time ; a silence which it would not have observed, if it could have contradicted the various warlike rumours in circulation; or even if a rupture between Russia and Turkey were doubtful. No change has taken place to alter the opinion we have invariably maintained, that war was inevitable ; and we consider the silence of The Austrian Observer as tending to confirm the truth of our position. VIENNA, MARCH 29.—The Austrian Observer preserves the most profound silence upon the affairs of Turkey. This, however, does not prevent our Politicians from hazarding con jectures upon the Turkish note of the 28th of February and its probable consequences, It is now asserted that the Enylisll 1
