The chief business doing within the last hour bas been in the
5 per Cents. which have imprcved. The reports seem to have
originated for Stock-jobbing purposes, and are not at all cre-
dited by the parties most likely to receive the earliest intelli-
gence upon so important a subject.

The Paris Journals of Tuesday have been received.
Their contents a.e not of much importance, except
the report that Russia has declared war against
Turkey. Whether this may have already beer the
case or not, a short time will-determine ; but we have
never been among those who thought that the nego-
ciation between those two Powers was likely to be
terminated amicably. Russia is too intently fixed on
possessing the provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia
as a preliminary step to her getting the whole of
European Turkey, to be easily diverted friar: it by '
any temporising expedients; and if she has procrasti-
nated the negotiation, it has been for the double pur-
poie of deceiving the Powers of Europe, and suf.
fering the Turks to be weakened by the warfare of ,
the Greeks : indeed their mutual extermination to a
considerable extent. would perhaps be the most gra-
tifying to Russia.
If the war on Turkey by the Persians had been
carried on, the Porte might have felt so closely pressed
as to accede to the terms proposed by Russia, and re-
linquish the two Principalities without a struggle:—
but that not being the case, there is not the slightest
probability of an adjustment of the difference be-
tween these two Powers; indeed private letters from
Constantinople, dated the I 1 th ult. state, that the
Austrian Intenruncio at Constantinople bad presented
a Note to the Divan, requesting another interview ;
but this is said to have been postponed from day to
day, although Lord Srn A NGFORD had also requested,
in form, theft both he and the official representative
of the Court of Vienna might obtain an interview with
the GRAND SCIGNIOR and his Ministers.' This cir-
cumstance shews that the Porte is little inclined to
terminate, in an amicable way, those negotiations
with Russia in which the British and Austrian Am-
bassadors have been such anxious mediators.
Just as we were writing this we-received a Flan-
ders Mail ; and though the intelligence it brings adds
little to our information on the subject, yet it is de-
cidedly warlike. The Brussels Papers contain a va-
riety of speculations on the reported death of Am
PACD A ; and, notwithstanding the various versions of
it which have appeared, we still doubt the fact: and,
for the cause of the Greeks,' to whom he has lately
been p powerful auxiliary, we should regret to find
that he has fallen. The accounts from Corfu are
very positive as to the death of Act ; and state, that
CilounsciuD PAcISA, into whose hands he had fallen,
had cut off his head, and transmitted it to Constan-
tinople: but letters from that capital, so late as the
12th of February, are entirely silent on the subject ;
the head of Au had not then arrived, nor even the
report of his death; but a story was in circulation,
that ALl's wife, a Greek Lady, had promised to give
him up, dead or alive, to the Turks. Could anything
be more improbable Greek Lady give up the
most powerful ally of her oppressed countrymen to
their tyrannous rulers—and that Greek Lady a wife,
too, giving up her husband! The thing is impossible,
and cannot for a moment be credited.
