EXTRACTS FROM THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS,

April 9, 1822.

[THE TIMES.]
Advices dated the Bth of March were yester-
day received from Constantinople, by way of
Odessa. They are contained in letters of the
12th (NS.) from the latter place, and were
_brought by a vessel which arrived on the 11th,
having made the voyage in three days. All the
notice taken of the important negociations pend-
ing is, that " they were proceeding, with every
" hope, through the interference and prudent
'5- conduct of Lord Strangford, to a favourable
" termination." This account may, 'we believe,
be received with perfect confidence in its authen-
ticity ; and it possesses peculiar importance at
this moment, by proving that the recent alarm
has been without foundation.

[NEW-TimEs.]
A mass of information was yesterday received
from various parts of the Continent, relative to
the disagreement between Russia and Turkey ;
and though there are many warlike rumours, the
general impression from the whole is certainly
pacific. The letters from Constantinople came
down to the Bth, and from Odessa to the 12th of
March.—The British ship, the Traveller, sailed
from the former place on the Bth ult., and ar-
rived at Odessa on the 12th. At the time this
vessel left Constantinople every thing was per-
fectly tranquil, and the expectations of a favour-
able issue to the negociations remained undis-
turbed—indeed every thing wore a favourable
aspect.—From Odessa we have only a reiteration
of these particulars, with this fact, that the
Course of Exchange remains unaltered.—lt is
stated that no less than seventeen sail of British
vessels were waiting at Constantinople for a
firman, to enable them to depart for Odessa.—
The advices from St. Petersburgh were dated the
3d March (0.5.) They are wholly silent upon
political matters, and merely quote the rates of
Exchange.

MORNING CHRONICLE.]
When interests are powerfully affected by any
intelligence, it is natural that great efforts should
be made to throw discredit on it. We were
therefore prepared for the doubts which have
been expressed respecting the authenticity of the
intelligence of the rejection of the Russian Ulti-
matum by Turkey. Our readers, however, may
be assured that there is no foundation whatever
for the statement which appeared in a Sunday
Paper, and which was repeated in some of the
Morning Papers of yesterday. The Ultimatum
has been rejected, and the negociation is at an
end. Is it to be supposed that Russia will, af-
ter this rejection, give vs another Ultimatum
with a view to captivate the good-will of the Turk-
ish Divan ? Are we tohave a succession of Ultima-
tums, each lower in its tone than another? Is it
likely that the Autocrat, with his armies in force
on the Turkish frontiers, ready to enter on
the long wished for march to the capital,
will waive the advantages which Turkish
stupidity has given him, and keep lowering his
terms like a Dutch merchant, in order to extort
at last such an answer from the Divan as may,
give him something like a decent pretext for de-
riving no benefit from his preparations, for march-
ing back his troops as they came, and for leaving,
the Turks at full liberty to exterminate the Ra-
jahs, the old Allies of Russia ? Those who can
believe all 'this, may well believe any thing. It
will be said, perhaps, that Turkey may yet be
induced to listen to reason ; this we think ex-
tremely improbable. But even if Turkey should
lower her tone, would Alexander be disposed to
accept of the tardy fruits of her repentance ?

[MORNING HERALD.]
We yesterday received, in due course, the
Paris. Papers, from which we had previously given
some extracts, by express. They contain scarcely
