worthy of themselves and of those masters who in-

On Friday and S.t.rddy next several studen's.
arrested during the late diaturbances, will be put
upon their trials before the Correctional Tribunal.

It is considered surprising that hostilities have
not commenced between the Turks and Russians,
but there are difficulties of • local nature opposed
to it. The earth mug have time to grow firm, and
the grass to shoot. In the war of 1769, Prince Ga.
Mein did not pass the Dniester to attack the lines
of Chocsim till the 26th of April. The campaign
of 1770, in which Romansow, after some checks,
gained memorable victories, did not commence till
the month of May ; that of 1771, which opened
with the siege of Gin rgiova, began in the same month ;
the year 1772 passed in negocistions, and the Rus-
sians did riot cross the Danube to undertake the
siege of Silistria, in which they failed, as also in
that of Varna, which they attacked with • view to
have • port on the coast of Bulgaria, until the end
of June, 1773. lu 1774, Romansow did not pass
the Danube until the 16th and 17th of Juoe. It
was in this campaign that the Turkish army ea
camped at Chiumla revolted, refused to fight, and
fled towards Constantinople, up event which occa-
sioned the peace signed on the 26th of July, 1774.

[EXTRACT PROM A PRIVATE LETTER.]
The ordinary courier from Constantinople arrived
yesterday, but the letters which be has brought have
not been yet distributed. The general opinion here
is for war; but there are always people, proprietors
of large sums in 'roper, who believe, or at least
strive to make the public believe, that peace
may be yet preserved. They found their hopes
upon the eminently pacific character of the Em-
peror Alexander, who has already more than
once disappointed the warlike expectations of his
subjects, and upon the possibility that the Porte
will revoke its Note of the seth February, and give
it at least a less offensive form. We know that our
Court, perhaps in its pacific inteutions, has refused
to receive this Note.
We observe here some military preparations, but
they are as yet of little importance, and it is sought
to keep them secret.
The Turkish
,squadron io the &mine Sea has,
it is said, chased three Russian vessels, of which it
captured two, on pretence that they had Greek
property on board.
LIIPSIC, MARCH 30.
Prince Cantaeowne, who arrived yesterday from
Dresden, will shortly set out for St. Peterburgh,
Dining the °egotist ions, he found difficulties in the
way of his obtaining passports, but as war is now
considered certain, he will experience no further
delay. Orders have been given in Russia, for
the formation of an army of reserve, which is to
assemble in the environs of Kalugs, and also for the
est•bliehment of cousiderablemagsames. The reserve
of the, artillery will likewise be posted at Ksluga,
until further orders. In the event of a war, the
army against the Turks will amount to 250,000
men. It will be joined by • fresh division of ca-
valry, principally composed of dragoons.
ODESSA, MARCH 15.
Accounts from Constantiouple of March it, state,
that the war with Russia is much talked of in that
capital. The fleet has sailed for Candia with
16,000 troops on board.
Letters of the 12th announce that the preparaw
tions for war have excited serious •ppreheneimes
amongst the Christians. The city, however, ea.
joys a considerable degree of tranquillity.
Several vessels under a foreign flag have been
seized at Coostaatioopk, and their cargoes confis-
cated, which has occasioned remonstrances on the
part of the Ambassadors.
