[MORNING POST.]

The intelligence which the French Papers to
the 11th inst. contain, inclines once more to the
pacific, and rumours of the acceptance of the
Russian Ultimatum, with certain modifications by
the Porte, are again circulating on the Continent.
These rumours are, however, mere echoes of the
thousand reports which have gone before them,
and are, therefore, entitled to but little attention.
We should not, in fact, have noticed them at
all, had they not been connected in some mea-
sure with the important discovery, made on
Saturday last, by one of our Morning Con-
temporaries, who, after all the world had for
months been apprised of the chief cause of con-
tention between Turkey and Russia, at last
found out, and gravely announced, that it was
the occupation of Wallachia and Moldavia, by
an armed Turkish force, against the letter and the
spirit of existing treaties, declaring that as Tur-
key was disposed to withdraw her troops, if
Russia would remove her army from the Pruth,
the latter could have no reason for going to war!
The pacific rumours on the Continent have the
same foundation, but there at least it is not repre-
sented as a new one. According to an article of
the 24th ult. from Trieste, the successes of the
Greeks continue. Itwas stated some time since that
with the exception of Coron, in the Peloponnesus,
and Arta, in Acarnania, all the fortresses of those
two countries had fallen into their power. It is
now announced that Arta has been reduced, and
the intelligence is said to have come from the
seat of war, Dragomest, in Acarnania. The de-
tails are as follow :—" Amongst those who dis-
tinguished themselves most by their prudence
and bravery on this occasion, are Captains
G iancki Rhangkos, Hiskos, and Gogos.—Capt.
Giancki Rhangkos was the first who advanc-
ed. Followed by about seven hundred of his
corps, he carried by storm the steep height
of St. Theodore, which stands at a short
distance from Canea. Hiskos also carried the
height on which there is a windmill, and
Gogos took possession of the bridge. These
various operations had been previously concerted
and took place the same day. When those
two heights, which are only separated from
the place by the narrow valley, every part of
which they command, had fallen into the power
of the Greeks, they directed the fire of their
heavy artillery from those two points against
the walls of the town, and having effected a
breach in them with their shot and bombs, the
assault was ordered. The besiegers rushed to
the breach sword in hand, penetrated into the
place, and became its masters. Ismael Pacha,
who had shut himself up within its walls, was
taken prisoner, loaded with chains, and entrusted
to the safe keeping of the captains. After the
capture of Arta, the conquerors divided them-
selves into two bodies, one of which went to re-
inforce the corps of Hazi of Prevesa, and the
other that of Bonitza."

returned true bills against William Holmes;

Vamplew, John Barclay, and a person unknown

EARTnouAKEs.---44etters from some parts of
Russia, from the South of Germany, and from
Naples, mention that shocks of earthquakes had
been felt in those quarters. A letter from Ri-
chenhall, in Bavaria, dated 23d of December,
states, that on the preceding night, three mi-
nutes before one o'clock, an earthquake was felt
there for more than three seconds ; the first
shock of which was so violent that the inhabi-
tants ran through the streets with lights, in order
to escape, if possible, from their dreadful desti-
ny. The succeeding shocks were not so violent.
Another from Mayence of the 29th ult. tnentions
that in the afternoon of Christmas Day, about
half past eight o'clock, a slight shock of an earth-
quake was felt in the southern part of that city,
and in the villages of Ilechtshehn and Lauben-
helm, which lie near it. On the night preceding
there was a dreadful storm, and the barometer
during that day had fallen to the storm point.

On Tuesday last an. Inquest was held at New-
castle, before TAYLOR GIBSON, Esq. Coroner, on
view of the body of Jane Ainsley, a girl 16 years
of age, and who was servant to Mr. David Elliott,
of Sandgate, flour-dealer, It appeared in evi-
dence, that Elliott's son, a lad 15 years of age,
haying fallen in with the deceased upon the
street, on Saturday the 29th ult., struck her se-
verely, and, in consequence of the blows she re-
ceived, she lingered until Monday last, when
she expired. Verdict—" Manslaughter." The
Coroner immediately issued his warrant, and
young Elliott was apprehended on Tuesday even.
ing, and committed to gaol for trial at the ensuing
Spring Assizes.—(Durham Advertiser.)
On the morning of the 2d inst. EDWARD
LODGE, of Itainton Pit houses, and late of Ches-
ter-le-street, Durham, was found dead near
'Houghton-le-Spring, his skull being fractured.
He, is supposed to have fallen from his horse,the
evening before, when in a state of intoxication,
and to have died in consequence of the injury
thus received.
