CONSTANTINOPLE., MAY 14.
The following circumstances have excited as
cittraorchisary 'sensation here :
On the e9ili April the Greek merchant Entwine!
Dariesi was arrested, because he refused to pay a
bill of exchange for 309,000 piastres, drawn upon
hire to the order of Prince Callimachi, now Hnspo-
ler of %Which's., because the drawer, the banker
Sakellario, at Bucharest, had informed him that
no funds had been assigned. The Austrian
luter-
nAncio took his part, because Sakellario is an
Austrian, and Daaesi also defended himself with
&411 intrepidity unusual with a Greek : he was re-
leased—he yielded, however, to the entreaties of his
family, and concealed himself: but the Reis Effendi
sending for him, the Rierisiun Ambassador, whose
hapker he is, persuaded him to lease his retreat, and
pledged hit word fur his life. On the stri of May
Datiesi, accompanied by • Remise' Dragoman, ap•
peered at the Porte, but was immediately seized
and thrown into prison. On the 3d Baron
Strogonsiff caused him to be claimed as the bunker
of the Russian embassy, bat the Reis Effendi an-
nounced very coolly, that Dene-i was a sub-
ject of the Porte, and Baron Strogonoff hid
,10 right to interfere in Iris favour. Hereupon
the Arnhassetlar ordered M. Von Daschkow, who
is attached to the mammy, to go in ceremony, ac.
companied by two iaterpreters, four jtmissaritas, and
iwo servauts in state liveries, arid renew the de-
snood. He was suede to wait five honer, and tilers
skiensisaed with the same answer as the preceding
day. M. Von Darichkme, who had been ordered
not to return without Dariesi, sent one of his jellie-
s-ern% to inform Baron Stmgimoff of the answer he
had received. The latter immediately nurse him-
self with a numerous suite, but received the same
wavier. At his desire lie was conducted, contrary
to establishes! custom, to the Gram' Vizier, hut
still received the same answer. Ile now desired
to know of what Danesi was accused ? The
Grand Vizier said they had the most convincing
proofs that lie was guilty of high treason. Baron
Straigosioll observed, that this occultation entirely
changed the nature of the affair; that Dasicsi being
his bucker, and the medium of his official corres-
pond-nee with the Morea, it threw a doubt on the
uprightiseso of his own sentiments, and was therefore
an hmidt to the Imperial Ambassador. This the
Grind Vizier would not !Mow, on which Baron
fitrogonuff loaded him with the harshest reproaches
and the most scrimp; threats. Nothing would lout
the Turk out of his way. The Ambassador then
asked the release of Dasresi as a particular favour,
on which he would pet a particular value, bin re-
ceived the same refusal. Hereupon he presented a
Nleniorial, addressed to the Sober), but the Grand
Vizier refused to take it. Baron Strogonoff ith-
drew without having succeeded in his applicetion.
" On the 4.15, M. Von Funton, the first Coon-
pallor of the Legetion, repaired to the Porte again,
so demand the release of Dariesi. and this being re-
tined, so desire that the Memorial should be irre-
gular/I to the Sultan. Th.. Reis Effendi refusing
both, M. Footsie declared he had olden to go to the
Monne, to step before ttte Sultan out his way thi-
ther, and to present the Memorial to the Sultan.
All the endeavours of the Reis Effendi to divert
him from his intention, which he said was contrary
to all custom, and dertera tory from the dignity of an
Ambassador, were fruitless.
" M. Fenton proceeded with his suite to the
neighbourhood of the Mosque when she Sultan was
at prayers. When lie came out M. Fonton held
up his paper and cried aloud in the Turkish lan-
guage, ' Here is a memorial from the Ambassador
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of his
Majesty the Emperor of Russia to his Sublimity
Sultan Malinsoud the Second.' He pronounced
these words twice without exciting the attention of
any body. The third time the Sultan cast a cone
tesuptuoiss look at him, caused the paper to be
taken from him by an officer, and went on. On the
same day a refusal couched iss very harsh terms was
given. It is however hoped that the mediation of
the Russian Ambassador for Dariesi, accompanied
with such remarkable circumstasices, will be attend-
ed with a happy result.
"Oil the 7th of this month the Russian Minister
(alleging the 7th and 14th articles of the Treaty of
Rudaclink-lisinovzie) complained of the ill treat-
ment suffered by the Greeks, of the insults offered
to their religion, and of the destruction of their
churches.
" He demanded that no Turkish troops Amid
enter the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia,
because those provinces were entirely tranquil,
Prince Sono, having left the Ottoman territory,
and Ypsilanti. who had not above 400 men, hay-
nag shut himself up in a castle, where he is sure
rounded by the Turkish troops. The mower of the
Reis Effendi, respecting the entrance of the Turkish
troops into the principalities, is not publicly known;
but it is known that he has declared that the rebel
Ypsilanti must answer with his head for the blood
• shed at Jassy and Galilee. It war, in fact, consi-
dered as impossible that he should escape. In
Constantinople itself there is great consternation
among the foreigners and Greeks, and equirally so.
among the. Turks, since the arrival of a amen
skips of war of eighteen guise. Many 'serums at-
tached to the foreign Ambassadors are making pre.
vacations for their departure."
CZZANOWICZ, IN Ills lIIIROWINA, MAY 25.
The storm of war is approschisig. The desola-
tion-threatening Crescent already sheds its bloody
light over the plains of Moldavia. The Turkish
vanguard of about 1,000 cavalry had reached,
on the 19th, Burlat, only six leagues from Jassy,
sod in all probability the main body hiss already
entered that capital; all the roads leading from
that unhappy country to this place are covered
with fugitives—lust of pillage and fanaticism ex-
cite the Asiatic hordes to the greatest cruelties, and
nothing escapes their unspairing scimitars.
We know nothing of Ypsilanti ; most accounts
say he has crossed the Danube and acts offensively.
Tice advance of the Turks has intercepted all cons-
wionication with Wallachia. At Galatea 600
Greeks fought with 9,000 Turks, of whom 3,000
were cavalry, for nearly a *bele day. The number
srf combatante on both sides was reduced to the
inaf; at length the superior "umber of the Turks
prevailed. The rem • • g Greeks, three hundred
in number, were obliged to retreat, every one
was wounded. When there was nothing more to be
feared from this valisot little baud, the Turks mos.

LONDON,
THURSDAY, Juxs 21, 121.

Mr. HUTCHINSON submitted to the House of
Commons hist night his promised motion ►espect-
ing the present state of affairs on the Continent of
Europe. The Resolutions with which he closed
his speech, and which contained in fact a summary
of the principWs advanced in the course of his ob-
i nervations, are framed to express the concern of the
House at the avowal or pretensions on the part of
the greater Powers of the Continent, " as novel as
they are dangerous, and which are in direct oppo-
sition to the principles of our own Revolution, slid to
the independence of all other nations." They there.
fore propose an Address to his &Watery, request-
ing him to use his influeuer to secure to the minor
States of Europe their undoubted rights, and to
remonstrate with his Allies on the assumption of
the dangerous powers on which they lately acted in
the case of Naples and Piedmont. The Marquis
or LoNCIONDEIHIT declined entering into the ques-
tion altogether, so that without any discussion the
House divided. There appeared for the Resole-
tions 29—against them 117.

The arrival of a Hamburgh Mail brings as the
important intelligence that the Turks have parsed
the Danube without any opposition, and hare en-
tered Bucharest, the capital of Waillachia, the
Greeks having previouoly abandoned that city.—
This news is communicated in the postscript of a
commercial letter from Vienna, which further adds
the no less remarkable assurance that the Turkish
troops, in Inking possession of Bucharest, con-
ducted themselves with exemplary diseipinie. Of
YPSILANTI nothing certain 'teems to be known,
but that he has been deserted by his troops, and
escaped from Bucharest with difficulty. The
Porte in the mean time denounces him as a rebel,
and declares that his head shall be the forfeit of
his temerity in venturing to organise an insurrec-
tion against the Government. It is from the chit-
meter of the Ottoman troops generally, inde-
pendent of the notion of their obedience to the
sentiments or wishes of the Porte, that we feel
a surprisCioatenang to incredulity at learning
that in Bucharest they have conducted them-
selves with propriety and decorum ; but we can
easily believe that the Divan would feel an
anxious solicitude that their troops, on entering the
territories of either Moldavia or Wsllschis, should
practise the most rigorous discipline, for these two
provinces are by treaty placed under the special
protection of Russia, and the Porte is even prohi-
bited from forming a military station within either
of them. The act of passing the Danube might be
construed by Russia as an infringement of the sub-
sisting treaty, but as this might seem to he justified
by the necessity of preserving the dominion of the
Porte within the provinces beyond the Danube, the
Porte world naturally be desirous of restricting its
operations to the limit of this necessity, and of
avoiding every act which might by possibility give
umbrage to its powerful neighbour. If the Turkish
troops, therefore, could be induced to share the
sentiments of their rulers. the intelligence of their
good conduct in Bucharest might possibly be
correct.

Ao account, however, from Constantinople inti-
mates that this prudence and moderation had nut
the effect of preventing Baron STIWOONOFF, the
Russian Ambassador to the Porte, from protesting
against the advance of the Turks into Wallachia.
Tu this protest was added a complaint of the ill-
treatment experienced by the Greeks in the capital
*nil every other putt of the Otionsan empire. and
of the insults that were offered at the instance of
the Divan itself to the Christian religion. This
protest and complaint seem to have flowed from a
serious misunderstanding between the Russian
Ambassador and the Turkish Government re-
specting the safety of • Greek banker, named
MIMI. who is attached as banker to the Rus-
sian embassy. The ctrcum►tance is highly in-
teresting, and is detailed at length in our
extracts from the Hamburgh Papers. That
the conduct of the GrP.i Vizier, the Reis
Effendi, and of the Gov„ent in general, was
marked in this instance by injustice. rapacity.
and cruelty. will not surprise any one who knows
any thing of the spirit and genius of that execrable
' Power, and it is quite manifest that nothing but
fear prevented the Sultan and his Officers from
crowning their tyranny by sending the Russian
Amba•►ador with his suite to the Seven Towers.
The Ambassador, and with him the credit of his
Government, is pledged to preserve the life and
property of Unrest, or to revenge his death
should he fall a victim to the blind and brutal

orApril, with the intention of immediately re-
turning to the capital of his European dominion..
A vessel from Bahia, named the Joh*, which lately
touched at.Holybead, had fallen in with a vessel
which spoke the royal squadron at see, on its way
to Lisbon, and learned that his MAJESTY had
actually sailed on the 25th of April. The actual
arrival of the Kura in the Tagus may therefore be
hourly expected. We doubt whether this event is
now as earnestly desired by the people of Lisbon
as it was some years ago prior to the late revolution.
Apprehensions are entertained that the return of the
KING will give courage and confidence to such per-
sons as are not attached to the new order of affairs,
or it ho may wish to render thenist-lves acceptable to
royalty by endeavouring to counteract the efforts of
the Constitutionalists. A feeling, no matter whether
well or ill-founded, that the Kula is not friendly
to the new order of things, will certainly generate
a hostile feeling towards the Constitution in no in-
considerable part of the community, and Portugal
may unfortunately suffer from the return of her
Kama events not very dissimilar from those which
Spain endured during the suspense that portended
the interference of the Allied Powers in the do-
mestic concerns of that country.

Accounts have been received from Jamaica of
the 28th April. By the latest arrivals at Kingston,
from Panama►, neither Lord COCHILANIC nor Gen.

Extract of a private letter front Cape Haytiett,
dated the Gth of May :—" Twoconspiracies against
the Government have been discovered, and several
persons shot, amongst whom were the old Governor of
this town, who was the first to take up arms
against CHRISTONIII. In one week 20 persons
were sib :at the present moment two regiments
are in the pri.ons. About a week ago the cannon
were drawn out, and every preparati made for a
battle in the town; but at length the rebels, to
the number of 1,200, laid down their arms ; and
we never know if we are safe or not. Business
goes on as bad as possible. The town of Goadives
has been entirely plundered, and we expect the
same will happes here. I have had my trunks
twice on board. Bloc-light signals sire made every
night, in came of need to make our escape on board.
A great number of persons go on hoard the vessels
every night, fearing to be taken by ►urprise during
the night. At one period ass attempt was made to
blow up the powder-magazine, which was fortu-
nately prevented, otherwise half the town would
have beets destroyed. Affairs are by no means set•
tied here. Provisions are the only articles that can
be sold : the repeated commotion' have so alarmed
the merchants, that they only buy small quantities.
Connected with that are the political proceedings
of the President in drawing every dollar from
the Treasury. On the 27th the President left the
Cape with 1,000 men for Port Dauphin, to check
some disturbances there."

The estate to which► the present Lord CAWDOR
succeeds, comprises fifteen thousand acres of grass
and arable, with • small intermixture of wood
hind, lying in one compact tract round the re-
sidence in Pembrokeshire. The late Lord WAS of
Scotch extraction.
We understand that Sir Famtcts Bu•urTT,
M►. Hotmouss. the Honourable C. H. HUTCHIN-
SON, and other Members of Parliament. dine with
the electors of Southwark on Friday next.
By the death of Captain COUSSSIAKER, nephew
of Lord Ds CLIFFORD, the representaiion of the
town of Kinsale has become vacant. Admiral Sir
J. Rowe.sar is mentioned as likely to till it.

The Bustard and Argws are ordered to be
brought forward fur commission in Chatham Dock-
yard. Ten gun brigs are now lying in ordinary at
the same yard, in good condition.—Kentish Gazette.
The Albioa, Captain WEST, arrived ut Black-
wall on the 12th in►t. in eighty-two days from the
Isle of France, which is the shorte►t space of time
the voyage has hitherto been perforated in. 6he
was only eighty-four days un the outward voyage
front the Down*, and has therefore gone 43.000
miles in 166 days, with a fall cargo out and home.
Including the period she remained at the Isle of
France discharging and re-loadiug, the voyage was
completed in reeves mouths.

The Larose f.igste went off the stocks at Chat-
ham, nn Saturday (16th instant). in a very handsome
manner. Lady Goal: approached the head of the
ship just before she went off, and performed the
office of naming her, by throwing a bottle of wine
against the stein, and wishing her success--three
times three cheers followed this process, from the
company around, and her Ladyship and friends
then retired to the booth to see the launch.

We have much pleasure instating that the Sound
duties on cotton yarn have breu reduced, by au
edict from the King of DENMARK, from 30 silvers
to ld +livens per 6011.5. weight. It may not be
generally known. that seine weeks ago the Chamber
of Commerce of this town presented a Memorial on
this subject to his MAJESTY'S Government which
received their immediate attention; and the favour-
able change which has taken place may probably
be attributed to the representation then made by
the Chamber. The duty hitherto levied has, we
believe. been no less than 31 per cent, on the pre.
sent value of cotton yam ; which exceeded. in a
very great degree. what has been levied on soy
