FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE:

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de France, dated April 17.)
°testa, MARCH 22.—War is declared against the
_.P°rter and our army waits only for a favourable season to
°Pen the campaign.
Our Civil Governor, Count Pahlin, will then leave us.
It is said that he is to fill the post of Intendant of Moldavia
and Wallachia when those Principalities are occupied.
Six Austrian vessels, laden with corn, have sailed for
Constantinople. Though they are very sure of not selling
their
cargoes without great loss, they have been obliged to
take corn in order to release themselves from the heavy se-
curities in money which they were obliged to deposit at the
Custom-house at Constantinople. At present above 100
transports of different nations have been placed at the dis-
P°sztl of the Commissariat Department. The Govern-
cent has signed contracts with several merchants and
Captains of ships, for the conveyance of all the materiel and
tbe wine which may he required for an army on its march
in the interior of Turkey. These contracts stipulate that
the vessels may be employed as far as Constantinople, and
insure considerable advantages to the owners. Woollen
cloths and leather have risen considerably in price.-
-4119.tburgh Gazette.
WARSAW, MAacit 24.—The accounts from St. Peters-
burgh give us reason to hope that our beloved Monarch
Will pass through this city on his way to the Army, and
will receive the homage of the Polish Nation. Letters
from St. Petersburgh say also, that in the course of next
month a great many persons of distinction will arrive at
Warsaw, and among them a great Monarch and a foreign
Statesman, whose presence will cause great surprise.
The Grand Duke Constantine is still here, but his head-
quarters are at Lublin. The field equipages of the Em-
Peror Nicholas are supposed to have arrived in the environs
of Brody. It is said, that the negotiation with Austria
i 5 terminated, and that nothing is now wanting but the
ratification of the two Governments. The Austrian Con-

'MI-General in this capital has obtained leave of absence
for some time.—Augsburgli Gazette,
BERLIN, APRIL 9.—The private letters from St. Pe-
tersburgh say, that the war with Turkey is considered
elnae at hand, and that the people have received the news
With the greatest joy. It is said in the capital, that orders
bad been given to fit out all the ships of war at Sebastopol,
Which are to join the fleet in the Black Sea, and it is
thought that this fleet will he sent to cruise at the entrance
of the Bosphorus. Many vessels are fitting out at Odessa.
Ton Lost, APRIL 4.—The preparations making here
lead us to consider the expedition, which has been so long
talked of, as certain, but its destination is still unknown.
A great number, both men-of-war and merchant vessels,
are assembled in our port. His Majesty's brig Le
Chumpennise, Captain Vallin, arrived yesterday from the
coast of Algiers, which it left en the 28th of last month,
With despatches for the Government. The blockade con-
tinues to be strictly enforced. Rear-Admiral Collet, who
'own:lands the squadron, has his flag at present an board
the Provence. The Amphitrite, which was before his
flag-ship, is at present under quarantine at Toulon. It is
to he supposed that it will make part of the expedition
which is preparing.
Oa the 25th of March, the Astrea frigate captured an
Algerine corsair of six guns, the Captain of which declares
that he haul been cruizing on the coast of Spain, but that
ne bad made no prizes.
The accounts which we have received from Alexandria
by the Emulation, inform us that Egypt continues to
elajoy the same tranquillity as before the late events. It is
'l4PPosesl that this will continue to he the case as long as
toe present Pacha lives, who, being a man of extraordinary
firmness of mind, will employ every means to hinder his
People from committing any excesses against the Franks.

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 19, 1828.

It was rumoured in the city this morning that
Government had received despatches from Lisbon ;
but, on enquiry, we ascertained that none had arrived.

An interesting discussion took place last night in
the House of Commons, respecting New South
\Vales. It is impossible to read it without being
impressed with the growing importance of that
Colony, and it is wonderful to consider low even
the crimes of England, may contribute to the civiliza-
tion of the habitable globe.

By the French Papers last received we are given
to understand, on the authority of an article from
Odessa, that war is declared against the PORTE, and
that the Russian Army only waits for a favourable
season to open the campaign. This is the twentieth
time at least that we have been favoured with the
same edifying intelligence from various quarters, all
of which are no doubt much interested in the
commencement of hostilities, but we have yet to
wait for an official declaration of the fact before
we can credit such questionable authorities. It
is not likely that the Russians would declare war
as a proof of their disposition, and the❑ wait for a
favourable season. Great as their charity may be,
we would not suspect them of displaying it in that
manner for the edification of their natural enemies
the Turks. We shall rather expect to hear of the
actual:passage of the Pruth by theßussian armiesibefore
we receive the declaration of war from St.Petersburgh.
But one thing is certain that the Missians mean to
cross the Pruth—and that the Turks fully expect
it. Want of room prevents our enlarging upon this
portentous subject.

Frankfort. Papers, and the Allgemeine Zeitung
of the 12th inst. have been received this mornin9;,
but their contents are not of a political nature—

they merely refer to the fluctuations in the price of
Corn :

NIAYENCE, APRIL 4.

The prices of corn had risen in consequence of the rise
in France. Now that they have fallen in that kingdom,
they decline more and more among us. At Marseilles, the
price of wheat was, on the 23d of March, two francs, in
consequence of the permission of importation. At Lyons
Gray, Dijon, &c., where the hectolitre was at 30 francs,
it is now sold at from 25 to 27f. The prices at Toulouse,
Rouen, and Havre, are likewise falling, and they have de-
clined also at Strasburg, Basle, Worms, Frankenthal, and
on the Maine. The general tendency to a decline in France
could not fail to produce a similar effect on our market,
where wheat, which on the 3d of January this year, was at
10 florins, 30 kreuzer, is now worth only 7 florins, 40
kreuzer. Some consignments, but not considerable, con-
tinue to be made from this place to the Moselle and Stras-
burg. We now receive very little from the Maine, be-
cause the prices are nearly as high at: Frankfort, where the
malter of wheat is sold for 7 florins, 30 kreuzer, chiefly
for home consumption.
Letters from Dantzic, of the 18th March, say that the
corn trade there is very dull. The navigation of the Vis-
tula was interrupted by floating ice, and no supplies could
come; yet wheat of the best quality W.aS worth only llf.
87c. on the spot; delivered at Havre, all charges included,
it would come to 15f. Under these circumstances, a far-
ther decline in the prices may be expected in Western Eu-
rope as soon as the supplies from the North shall be re-
ceived. In the ports of the Mediterranean the prices ap-
pear to keep up, and rather inclined to rise.

DARMSTADT, APRIL 9.

Considerable uneasiness having been felt for the health of
his Royal Highness our Grand Duke, a bulletin has been
issued to-day by Dr. Wedekind, his physician, by which
we are assured that our beloved Prince is much better.

NIMEMBURG, APRIL. S•

Yesterday the ceremony of laying the first stone of the
intended monument to Albert Durer was performed with
suitable ceremony. Avtists and friends of the Arts had
assembled from all parts of Germany, and even from Italy,
and mild spring weather favoured this patriotic festivity.

Boston Papers to the 25th tilt. have been received
at the North and South American Coffee-hottFe ;
their contents are uninteresting.

By his Majesty's packet brig Frolic, from Halifax,
Prince Edward's Island and Miramichi Papers, the
former to the Ist inst., have been received at the
North and South American Coffee-house ; the fol-
lowing are the principal articles of intelligence they
contain :
NORTH-EASTERN BOUNDARY.-We understand that the
President of the United States having written to Governor
Lincoln, informing him that the Emperor of Russia has
been fixed upon by the United States and Great Britain as
an umpire between them, and offering to send as Envoy
to St. Petershurgh, any person whom Maine should re-
commend to plead her cause, upwards of 90 Members of
the Legislature signed a paper, recommending William
Pitt Preble, a Judge of the Supreme Court.
A Society has been formed at Halifax, by the merchants,
for the management of the Fisheries, and the Papers con-
tain the regulations for its guidance. The attempt is
laudable, and we trust it will meet with encourage-
ment and support from all who wish well to the country.
The Hon. R. J. Uniacke is to be President, and the
Hon. T. N. Jeffery, the lion. Judge Habarton, and the
Hon. Enos Collins, Vice-Presidents. The subscription is
to be two pounds each Member. The affairs of the So-
ciety to be under the direction of the above-mentioned
Gentlemen and ten Directors, chosen from the Sub-
scribers. Ile principal object of the Society is to offer
premiums to the masters and crews of vessels employed in
taking fish on the coasts of Labrador, the banks of New-
foundland, and the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

From the New Brunswick Paper, dated St. John's,
March 25, we are sorry to learn the death of the Hon.
Thomas Watmore, Attorney-General. • This melancholy
event took place at his residence at Fredericktown, on the
evening of the 17th, but the particulars of his decease
had not reached this place.

The Commissioners of Woods and Forests are
about to sell the Crown estate of Eckington, in the
county of Derby, with the view of defraying the
large sums expended on the Royal Palaces, &c. &c.
Would it not be advisable that all the Crown lands
in the United Kingdom, not immediately connected
with the Royal residences, were sold, as well as the
feu duties paid by many estates in Scotland into the
Exchequer? A large sum might thus be imme-
diately realized, and the heavy and vexatious ex-
pence of collecting it be saved. This is a subject
well de3erving the attention of the Finance Com-
mittee.

Consols opened this morning at 84i 1, went to 841,
sellers for time, and buyers for money, since which the
market has regained its first quotation both for time and
money; 111oney Stock is scarce. Another feature in the
market this morning has been the appearance of the Go-
vernment Broker to sell 60,0001. Exchequer Bills at 64
premium. A report exists that one of the recommenda-
tions of the Finance Committee will be to fund fifteen mil-
lions of this security. India Bonds, 96 8 pm. ; Exchequer
