FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS, APRIL 13.—0 n account of the length
of the Sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, we
are obliged to defer the foreign news till to-
morrow. The accounts from Germany are all

of a warlike complexion.
The two Ministers of Russia, who are at
Vienna, see tho Ministers of the Emperor of
A►►stria very frequently, and the intimacy be-
tween the two Courts appearsto in crease since
the risolution_of the Divan was known.

It is asserted that M. Zea, Envoy of the Re-
public of Columbia, has delivered, in the name
of his Government, to the French Ministry and
to all the foreign Ambassadors, a Note, by which
be formally claims the recognition of the new
Republic, and demands a categorical answer, to
which the commercial relations between Colum-
bia and the divers European Continental Powers
-1% be made subordinate.

A private letter from Bucharest, of the 12th
.March, says,—" We are still in a most dreadful
i-ituation ass y has just become the prey. of the
.names; ,the same deplorable fate is perhaps re-
,served for us. Not a day passes which is not
marked by murders and partial fires: the day
before yesterday a whole.family was massacred
the suburbs, and after the Turks had plun-
dered the house, they set it on fire. In a tumult
a Turkish Spain lost his life. This death has-
been cruelly avenged on innocent Christians, of
Ns horn several have been killed and many muti-
lated. The shops ate still open in consequence
of the strict orders of the Paella, but there are
:few goods in them, and commerce is absolutely
reduced to nothing ; for 'who would speculate
when nobody can be sure of h..ing alive the next
day ?"

The Brussels Oracle speaks of letters from
-Luxemburg, which state that a military conspi-
-racythad !been discovered at Metz, and several
•persons Arrested.
The Strasbourg Courier says that several offi-
-cers.have been ar►ested there within the last few
. M. M. de Prie, St. Marsan, and de St. Michel,
Pieclmontese refugees, whose arrest at Lille we
have already noticed, were released on the 7th
inst.:agreeably to an order from M. the Prefect,
,which arrived the day before from Paris.
We:learn from Bayonne, under date the 7th
•.of April, that Nantel, La Mothe, and other
French refugees, had quitted Iran for.Bilboa, by
-order of the Spanish Government.
For the last two days a report was current
,that General Berton had landed at San Sebas-
tian, but this news seems unfounded. It how.
-ever appears .certain that some of the persons im-
iplicated in•his conspiracy have arrived there.

'ANCONA, MARcH `29...---There is now no doubt
..whatever of the total defeat of the Turkish fleet,
which is confirmed to us by the arrival of two
vessels, one from Santa-Ma.ura, in nine days, and
.one from Corfu, in eleven days. The Greeks
took 25 vessels, 17 of which were ships of war,
.4 of them frigates ; the others were-transports.
-Of the whole Turkish fleet, only. six vessels have
.taken refuge in the-Gulf of Lepanto. The Cap-
Bey,';„-,Lhrnael Gibraltar, and the Algerine
•Admiral,•were.taken prisoners.. The passengers
,who are tate affirm that the most extraordinary
sight in.this battle was, to see a Greek schooner
take a frigate by boarding, and very small Greek
.vessels conduct, in triumph, so many Turkish
-ships into the port of Hydra. All agree in re-
-presenting the affairs of the Greeks as being in
,the 'best situation. Chourschid Paella was still
at joannina. The Albanese are discontented.; and
the principal among them have,retired into their
own country, where it is supposed that a revolu-
. tion will very shortly break out. At Zilmic,
,near Thermopylw, the Greeks have gained a vie-
. tory, in which Ulysses was wounded. We have
no particulars of this affair.
BAsEL, MAncll 28.—According to letters and
',the assurances of travellers who come from
'l3-effort, very strict measures continue to be
-.taken by the police of that town. All travellers
.who are not provided with the necessary pass-
ports are arrested, and obliged to give a satisfac-
,.tory account of themselves. Gens-d'armes patrol
the high roads to execute the orders they re-
ceive. We do not hear, however, of any arrest
on account of the Belfort conspiracy. We may
soon expect to have some information respecting
..the proceedings commenced at Colmar on ac-
count of that conspiracy, because the affair is
now .brought. before the Chamber of Accusation
of the Court of Appeal at Colmar. Colonel
Pailhes is ,the most known of the conspirators
•Ititherto arrested.; but there are said to be se-
rious charges pAgainst several persons who have
Aled to Switzerland, and have probably gone far-
ther. It is affirmed that no connection has yet
been discovered between this conspiracy and that
in the :west of: ranee.

. It seems to be conjectured that all these move-
ments were directed by certain well-known per-
. sous in Paris, and every effort was therefore
made to get to the bottom of the affair, but
- hitherto, as it seems, without leading to any
positive information..
N UItEMBURG, APRJL 4.—Accounts from Ber-
lin say, that it was reported Prince Oscar would
visit that•capital and make some stay.
APRIL 6.—The following is the latest intelli-
gence received from Constantinople :
" War with Russia appearing now inevitable,
orders have been issued for the concentration of
the Turkish forces. Two divisions of the army
will immediately. set themselves in motion, for
. the banks of the Danube ; one from Constan-
tinople; the other from Adrianople. In short,
it is affirmed ~that orders have been sent to the
Turkish army which occupies the right bank of
-the Danube to pass that river at several points,
and to enter Bessarabia (where Russia has no

considerable military force), in order to take
possession of that province in the name of the
Porte, before any forces can assemble there. The
Grand Vizier will be invested with the command
of the army, and the Grand Seignor will put him-
self in person at the head of his troops.—The
Grand Vizier, the Reis Effendi, and the new.
Aga of the Janissaries, are at the head of the
party which has decided foc war."
AUGSBURG, APRIL 7 Extract from a Mer-
cantile Letter, dated Constantinople, March. 11)
" The rumours of the approaching war have
caused the disappearance of the little money there
was before in circulation. The Porte has addressed
to the Austrian and English Ministers a most re-
markable Note,which was forwarded to Vienna the
sth of this month. In the Note (which is of very
considerable length), the Porte commences by
detailing all the injuries which it has sustained
from Russia since 1811, and finishes by promis-
ing to comply with all her demands. Opinions
are quite at variance with respect to this note ;
one party considers it as an open declaration of
war—the other sees in it grounds to hope for
the preservation of peace. The armament of
the whole Russian fleet and flotilla is now
completed ; numerous bodies are approach-
ing the banks of the Pruth. Notwithstanding
these preparations, hopes are yet entertained.
It appears to be the intention of Russia to oc-
cupy NVallachia and Moldavia, unless the Turks
evacuate those principalities.
The Government of Russia has began to buy
up wheat for the supply of its military magazines.
M. de Latour Mau hu rg, Ambassador of France,
is still upon his ancient footing with the Porte.
A IX-LA.CIIA PELLE, A PRI L G.—The Secretary
of a distinguished personage, ho was formerly
a Grand Functionary, has been arrested at Ber-
lin. They say he is a member of a secret as-
sociation.

It is reported that a large promotion in the
Russian army is immediately to take place, and that
several corps will be got ready for the field. The
troops in garrison in the Grand Duchy of Posen will
he inspected about the middle of the month, and
then marched to the frontiers to form a Corps of
Observation, under the orders of a Lieutenant-
General.

UNITED STATES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR—In your Paper of .Tuesday, the 9th of
this month, I perceive a long article, said to be a
Message from the President of the United States
of America to the House of Representatives,
dated the Bth of March last, recommending to
that Body to sa►iction the independence of South
America, in which he is made to say as follows :

" To motives of interest this Government has inva-
" riably disclaimed all pretensions, being resolved to take no
" part in the controversy, or other measures in regard to it,
" which should net merit the sanction qf the civilized world."

When I compare this declaration with the
transactions in the Canadas immediately before
the war of 1812, when the vilest emissaries went
into those Provinces to stir up the people to re-
bel against the British Government, and for
which, being detected, some of them suffered the
legal penalties ; when I recollect the kidnap-
ping of General BowLEs, the Chief of the Creek
nation, in Florida, in the Spring of 1803, and the
delivery of him to his enemies the Spaniards, in
whose custody he died a miserable death ;
when I reflect upon the other transactions in
that same province, previous to its late surrender
by treaty, still fresh in the public mind ;—acid
upon the secret transactions in' Louisiana, pre-
vious to and anticipative of the purchase of that
territory fiorn Spain, under the influence of re-
volutionary France, through a payment of fifteen
millions of dollars into the treasury of that dis-
interested Gallic republic, for that Government
also always talked of its good faith ;—and three
millions more, said to have been a kind induce-
ment to aid the good offices of the First Consul
and his coadjutors, towards the old Court
of Spain, the revolutionary friend and ally of
America ; but, above them all, when I remem-
ber the transactions in the United States, in
the winter of 1805-6, between General MI.-
RAND 1 on the one part, and of SAMUEL G.
OGDEN and WILLIAM S. SMITH on the second,
and the Government of Washine,toti on the third,
as amply explained by Messrs. OGDEN and Ss,t rn,
in two separate Memorials to The Honourable
the 'Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America, in Congress assembled;
both Memorials dated New York, April 18,1806,
and delivered to the public of that country for
its information and criticism, and never satisfac-
torily denied ; but prosecution against those
Gentlemen, for aiding MIRANDA to assist his
countrymen in South America, abandoned in
consequence :—I say, Sir, when I reflect upon
these things, I must be led to conclude
that the public has been imposed upon in
these statements, and that consequently the
Government has been vilely traduced in every
one of them, or that the author of the above
mentioned Message to the said House of Re-
presentatives, dated the Bth of March, has
supposed the world to have lost all recollection
of the transactions during the eventful period
which has elapsed since the American Revolu-
tion to the present time. For myself, I shall be
happy to believe the Government of Washington
to be as immaculate as the writer of the above
quotation says that it is ;—could the rest of the
world also be generally induced to believe it to
be as spotless as driven snow, no one could re-
joice in such purity more than l should ; but I
must own, that what appears to be uncontra-
dicted scandal on one side, and what some people
may term cant and hypocrisy on the other, has
made a stronger impression upon my mind than I
wish it had ; and that if I were to deal with such
a Government, I should make use of very great
caution.

I am, good Mr. Editor,
Your constant reader and admirer,
• DANIEL DOUBT V.
