The French Papers contain nothing new,
either from Russia or Turley, but the prepara-

on the other, continue with unabated vigour.
The Turks intend to make their grand stand on

the Danube, the fortresses'of which have been put
in the best possible state of defence—but they
will find it difficult to resist the overwhelming
numbers of Russia, burning for the plunder
and sunshiny luxuries in the distance onward.
That there will be some obstinate fighting
on the Banks of the Danube, even till its waves
are tinged with mingled blood, there can be no
doubt ; but then, what can the one hundred
thousand Turks do against the hundreds of
thousands which Russia pours forth, to realize
the prophecy which they have been taught
from their youth they are destined to fulfil, by
planting the Eagle of the CZAR upon the walls
of Constantinople.
With respect to the Russian Declaration, we
think that the EMPEROR is much obliged to the
PORTE or affording him so plausible an oppor-
tunity of speaking out upon a question the
dearest of his ambition—the invasion, and ulti-
mately perhaps the occupation, of European
Turkey. ; Till the Russians obtain a footing
on the Hellespont, the waters of the Black
Sea are of little or no use. It would not sur-
prise us some of these days to hear that Russia
and France had secretly agreed to make common
cause for the spoliation of the Sublime Empire—
the one by taking those parts nearest her own
dominions, while the other realized her old views
in tho South by seizing on Egipt. . '

The commerce at Marseilles is in a stagnant state, with
the exception -of wheat, the sale of which brisk, not-
withstanding the introduction of exotics, and a convoy
arrived and expected from Cadiz. All the other articles
in our market are'very heavy.
A report is current that one hundred ships are to he
freighted at Marseilles for a maritime, or a commercial,
expedition. A despatch received on Saturday has sus-
pended this freightage, and at the same time the labours of
most of those who were already hired. It is to he hoped
that the conjectures to which tl::s despatch has given rise,
may be realized for the good of humanity and commerce.
A letter, dated Marseilles, March 25, says, "' A tele-
graphic despatch, affixed to the Exchange, informs us that
an Ambassador from the Dey of Algiers, has arrived at
Toulon, with full powers to treat for peace. This
news is very • satisfactory to our commerce. After
quarantine, the Ambassador will set out for Paris.
It is thought that peace is already concluded, and that the
Dey of Algiers would not have delegated powers to this
agent, had he not been willing to satisfy France.
The Preevrseur of Lyons publishes the following para-
graph :—" We read, in a letter from Marseilles, of the
22d of this month, that a telegraphic despatch, arrived
yesterday, has ordered the projected military expedition to
be suspended. Thirty-two merchantmen had already been
hired, which of course will be indemnified.
Letters from St. Petersburgh, of the 13th of March,
state that the yekulg Prince Suwarrow had arrived there
on the 12th, with the latest intelligence from Persia (Tau-
ris, Feb. 12), which was very atisfactory. He announced
that the Persians bad already made their first payment of
25 millions of rubles.
People do not doubt the almost immediate signature of
the Treaty of Peace.. The Emperor, in order to testify
his satisfaction, has named the young Prince Suwarrow his
Aid-dc-camp.
We are waiting another arrival at Perpignan of Monsieur
de St' Priest, Lieutenant-General of the Armies of the
Cape, who is going as Ambassador to his Most Catholic
Majesty at Barcelona. It is supposed that the question of
the evacuation, of Spain by the French troops is the prin-
ciple of his mission.
VIENNA,- MARCH 20.—The ordinary post of Constan-
tinople, dated February 25, arrived to-day, but the letters
are not yet distributed. We learn, however, that the
Porte has returned to moderation, accords to the Greeks
an armistice of three months, and assures them of an
amnesty, should they wish to make their submission.
The celebrated Major Laing was assassinated in his at-

The details of his death have been already communicated

will be forthwith published.

LONDON,
Ift-rsDAY EVENING, MARCH 31, 18.28.

'We do trust that no farther' delay will take
place in bringing forward the. Corn Bill, which
is positively fixed for- to-night. Nothing is so
ruinous as the state of feverish anxiety in which
the nation has so long been kept on this most
important subject, and it is the imperative duty of
Ministers to bring it to a close. Then land
may again have some specific value attached to
it, instead of being actually unsaleable as. it is

at present.
The near approach of the moment when Spe•
culation on the nature of the ploposed Itesolu•
tions must terminate in certainty, renders it un
necessary-to offer many observations at in esent.
We must, however, repeat our decided ap-
probation of last year's, Bill, and our anxious
hope that the new one may not differ from it
in any very essential points. No doubt Mini-
Aors cannot expect to pass through the Upper
House the very same measure which was thrown
out last year, and, as in the case of Penryn and
East Retford, they may be obliged to. consent to
a compromise with the Aristocracy, though we
trust that that distinguished body will evince
some moderation in their deinands, and show
some little regard for the manufacturing classes
of this kingdom.

Brussels Papers to the 30th inst. received
this morning, confirm the departure of the Im-

army. An army of seventy thousand men will
march, if circumstances require, to the Banks of
the Pruth, from the armies of Poland and
Lithuania. Considerable purchases of corn are
making at Warsaw, and the chief towns of the
kingdom, to form magazines for the armies on
the Damube and Pruth. In short, every thing
betokens a vast preparation :
