Letters from Constantinople, of the 9th April, received by ex-
press, contain the following intelligence :
'• 31. de 3linziacky, as I have before written to you, has delivered
to the Reis Effendi a categorical declaration of his Court, and
since then all the Franks in Pent are in expectation of great news.
It is already known, from good authority, that the Russian Cabinet
insists on the stutu quo of 1820, in the two principalities of 3101-
davit' and Wallachia. It further demands that the Turkish Go-
vernment shall send Commissioners to a place of its own choosing,
to treat with Russian Commissioners—that the Session Deputies
shall be immediately act at liberty, and their legitimate demands
complied ith. •

kik weeks time, from the dtty the note was presented (6th April),
are given to the Turkish Government:to return an answer; and if
it is not satisfactory, 141. dc Minziacky is to leave Constantinople
with all his suite, and go to Bessarabia.

When M. de Alinziacky presented this important note to the
Reis Effendi, that Minister replied that It was so serious a matter
that it would be absolutely necessary to lay it before the Divan for
its decision. We therefore expect an extraordinary convocation
of the Divan, to which all Ulemas and chiefs of corporations will
be summoned.

An soon as the presentation of the Russian note wu known to
the Diplomatic Body at Peru, by whom it was entirely unlooked
fur, they made &joint application to the Reis LlLndi, for the pur-
pose of inducing the Porte to comply with all the demands of
Russia, since peace or war depends on it.

It seems almost impossible that the Porte should give 1 nega.
tive answer; and yet this Is what is feared by pereons who are
particularly acquainted with the situation of the Sultan, who is
under the influence of the military Chiefs, and is bound by other
cansiderationa.

since the arrival of this Russian courier much less is said of the
affairs of the Mores. The Ministers of Austria, France; and Eng.
land, hare despatched extraordinary couriers to their Govern-
ments.

The Constitationarl of io.day affords a new proof of the igno.
rance of journals lit on subjects on which they speak in the most
positive manner. The changes which the journal supposes to have
been required by the President foyer are pure inventions, and
prove that it confounds the ordinance of the 17th April, and the
commercial convention which was to follow it.

Several journals have repeated, for some days past, that the num.
her of officers who resign their commisssions increases considerably.

• All that the Joerual des Debate adds to•day to this news is
idehtly of its own invention.—Note of the Editor of the EWile.

The Constilutionnet makes them 3,000. We believe we may affirm
not only that this is false, but that since 18111 the number of re-
signations has been constantly on the decrease, and that last year
it was the smallest.

, (PRIVATE LETTER..I
The latest letters from St. Petersburgh mention the preparations
which are already begun for the approaching coronation of the Em.
peror Nicholas. It is reported that the Emperor of Persia, like the
great Eutopean powers, will send one of the chief officers of his
Court, u Ambassador Extraordinary to Moscow, at the time of the
coronation.

.....
There was no report whatever of a change in the Russian Minis-
try, so that we may consider the accounts given by some German
papers as premß:llTe.

tracts :
BRUSSELS, MAY 3.
We are happy to say, on the authority of a private letter from
the Hague, that the health of his Majesty still continues to im-
prove.
MAT b.

Hie Majesty's health is so much recovered, that there is reason
to hope that he will soon have entirely got over the effects of hie
accident.

We learn fmm Utrecht that Gen. flennequin, after having been
Interrogated ,n the important proceeding respecting the works on the
new fortifications, has been put under confinement. The other
persons, towards whom the same measure has been adopted, for
the same reason, are Lieutenant-Col. Lobry, Capt. Van Asperity,
and Lieut. Themmen.

A letter from Lille, of May 3, says—" Marshal Soult, Duke Of
Dalmatia, has arrived at Daual. from Germany. We hear that he
will stay a few days in that town, where his son, the Marquis of
Dalmatia, is on the Staff: Last Sunday the first procession of the
Jubilee took place at Douai. We hear that they were favoured
by very fine weather. Like the Crum of Cessation, and the Royal
Court of Paris, the Royal Court of Douai took no part in the pro-
cession ; only two public functionaries, in costume, were at this ce-
remony, the Military Commandant and the Adjunct of the Mayor.
There were no men, but a great many women, and pupils of the
College and of divers schools. At Lille there were processions on
the same day in three parishes, which did not much excite the zeal
of the faithful."—Bruzre/s Papers, May 6.

ST. PETERSIW.ROII, APRIL 19.

Out of respect to the wishes and plans of the late Emperor, hls
brother, his 31 sjesty has given orders that the Palace on the estate
of Urjande, on the south coast of theCrimea,which he bought a few
weeks before his death, shall be built in strict conformity with the
plan which Alexander himself had laid down. Count NVoronzow,
Governor of New Russia, will arrive here before the Coronation,
and not go abroad till autumn. On the 14th thy Emperor and the
Grand Duke Michael inspected the marine corps. The Council of
the Empire has recognised and confirmed the ancient dignity of
Princes enjoyed by the Georgian families, Beglabegow and Parchan
Mouraw.

According to a decision of the Minister of Finance, all articles of
Russian produce or manufacture, when sent from Odessa to the in-
terior of the empire, must pay the same duty as foreign goods.
To promote the trade of Revel, all goods may be achniued for
six months into the l;ttstom•house, the importation of which is al-
lowed at Riga, only the importation of cloths, half cloths, and ker.
seymeres, which by particular ukase is allowed at Russia, remains
prohibited at Revel.

The landowners in South Russia have now a prospect of a good
market for their corn at Malta, where about 300,000 chetwerts are
annually consumed, the greater part of which is from Odessa and
Taganrog. The first foreign merchantmen arrived at Riga on the
31st March.

HANOVER, APRIL 29.

We have no new and direct account of the state of strength before
Missolonghi ; but letters of the 14th, just received from Ancona,
say, that the strain-boat from Corfu has brought accounts to the
oth ; according to them, Missolonghl still defended itself bravely.
Miaulis had come from Hydra with GO sail, and with supplies of
all kinds, and had already captured twelve Egyptian transports.
It was even reported at Corfu that Vassiladi was retaken ; but
this seems premature. It is again affirmed that Ibrahim was
wounded in the last attack, and that (louras had attacked the rear
of the corps of the besieging army, under Pliaua Pacha.—
Allgenichse Zeitung, April 30.

At a late hour last night we received journals from va-
rious parts of the United States up to the 12th ult. The
subject of the Panama mission still occupies the democratic
portion of the North American Legislature, and seems not
very likely to be soon brought to a conclusion, still less to
an amicable one.

The following is an extract from the proceedings of the
House of Representatives on this subject.
The resolution reported by the Committee of Foreign Affairs is
as follows :

Ite*olvcd—That, in the opinion of the House, it is expedient
to appropriate the funds necessary to enable the President of the
United Ststes to send Ministers to the Congress of Panama.
To which Mr. M`Lane moved the following amendment, to be
adZed to the resolution :

" It being understood as the opinion of thin House, that, as it
has always been the settled policy of this (imminent, in extending
our commercial relations, to have with them as little political con-
nexion as pouible, to preserve prate, commerce, and friendship
with all nations, and to form entangling alliances with none; the
Ministers who may be sent shall attend at the said Congress in a
diplomatic character merely ; and shall not be authorised to dia.
cuss, consider, or consult upon any proposition of alliance, offen-
sive or defensive, between this country and any of the Spanish.
American Governments, or any stipulation, compact, or declara-
tion, binding the United States in any way, or to any extent, to
resist interference from abroad with the domestic concerns of the
aforesaid Governments; or any measure which shall commit the
present or future neutral rights or duties of these United States,
either as may regard European nations, or between the several
States of Mexico and South America."

After a little conversation between Messrs. Crownin, Shield,
Webster, Forsyth, and M•Lane, in which Mr. Forsyth expressed
his wish to offer an amendment to be printed at the same time, but
which was overruled until the subject should be before the House,
the Committee rose, and the amendment offered by Mr. I‘l4l.ane
was ordered to be printed : as also was the following amendment,
offered by Mr. Forsyth:—
Strike out all after the word " Resolved," sad insert—
" That, in the opinion of this House, it is expedient to make an
appropriation to enable the President to send Ministers to be pre-
sent at, but not ro become members of, the Congress of the Ame-
rican States at Panama ; it being distinctly understood that the
said Ministers are to be authorised merely to express to that Con-
gress the deep interest of this country in the security and pros-
perity of the other American States; to explain, if requested, the
principles which govern the United States in their political and
commercial intercourse with all foreign nations ; to receive and to
remit to their own Government sny proposition thst the whole or
any one of the Powers represented in the Congress may think pro-
per to oflct, for the consideration of the Government of the United
States."

['From the New York Daily Advertiser of Tuesday, April 11.1
The subject of the Panama mission is fairly agoing in the House
of Representatives of the United States, and we understand the
probability is that it will be settled in the course of the present
month. How long the far-tamed Southern Congress are expected
to hold their Session, we do not know. It would seem that the
Members of ours are resolved to hold out in the discussion of the
merits of the project, until the season shall have passed by, and
the sitting of the other is closed. A vast many difficulties are
stetted, a multitude of objections advanced, and a great variety of
motions and amendments are made and offered, as if the case were
one of prime importance and indescribable magnitude. We verily
believe it might have been safely adjusted and disposed of, two or
three months ago, without danger or difficulty, and in quite as good
a manner as it will be after spending half a long Session in debating
subjects which have very little to do with the measure.
This Session seems to differ from those which have lately preceded
it. Commonly some one great topic has been brought out, which
' furnished an opportunity tor the speaking members to display their
I oratorical and reasoning faculties, for the benefit both of the houses

and their constituents; and when that was disposed af, the actual
business of the (lovernment has been taken up and despatched.
This year there seems to be no end to great subjects ; and. of course,
no enJ to debating. Every member has as many opportunities to
distinguish himself in debate, and provide matter for the entertain•
ment of his friends at home, as heart can wish.
We are glad to perceive, by the proceedings of the Common
Council la evening, that the monument erected to the memory of
the lamented Lawrence, and which has been suffered to crumble to
pieceq, is to be rebuilt in a substantial manlier, at the expense of
the city.

Our intelligence from (ha districts so recently disturbed,
is particularly satisfactory. All bad feeling seems rapidly
subsiding before the powerful display of generosity and
fellow-feeling, which is every where evinced towards
the wants of our distressed brethren.

Notwithstanding the heavy pressure and emhsrrassment
which the manufacturing districts may be constrained, for
a time, to contend with, still, when we call to mind the
solid, extensive, and durable ground-work, on which the
commerce of the British empire rests, we not only enter-
tain no fear for the revival of its prosperity, but we feel
assured that it is destined to arrive at far greater heights
than it has ever yet attained. We ask, in the language of
an animated public writer, " For whose opulence and en-
joyment are the ends of the earth labouring at this hour?
For whom does the Polish peasant run his plough through the
ground ? For whom does the American, with half a world be-
tween him and us, hunt down his cattle, or plant his cotton ?
For whom does the Chinese gather in his teas, or the Bra-
zilian his gold and precious stones? ENGLAND is before
the eyes of theta all. To whose market does every mer-
chant of the remotest corners of the world look? To
which Cabinet does every Power, from America to
India, turn with interest surpassing all others? Whose
public feeling does every people struggling to raise itself in
the rank of nations supplicate? The answer is suggested
