Turks, and induced the Divan to assume a

tone in conseioence, is extremely probable; but we
are at from thinking that their conduct has either
been rash, hitig4y, or unprovoked. The next news
ails ~•hahl% bring an account of the commence•
ment of hostilities ; in the meantime, we would 'cau-
tion our Readers against those exaggerations in the
private letters of a certain Evening Paper, which,
by a mere dash of the pen, creates a Turkish army
160 0(X) strong, perfectly equipped and well sup-
Oleo, and marches them to the banks of the Danube.

The recognition of the independence of South Ame-
rica by the Government of the United States, is one
of thrwe events which is likely to have considerable
influence on commerce ; as nothing is more natural
that, hat the ,1•1‘ Governments should give a pre-
ference to the fi..q.State that forms an alliance with
them But although we should have wished Eng-
to have been the first to seize the golden oppor-
t, rrtv of forming a commercial treaty with the new
world. yet it not 4611 too late: fox notwithstanding
the progress made in the United States in manufac-
tures and the useful arts, they are still much behind
us both in net it of execution and cheapness ; and a
n.ost amr.le field for British manufacture might still
be. opened.

The only possible objection to our acknowledging
the independence of Spanish South America, is in
our relations with Spain; but surely when that inde-
penJence is established beyond all doubt or revoca-
tion, and even the mother country itself is hesitating
whetl.er not it should yield to the separation, we
need not be so fastidious about it. We are tar from
agreeing with ne of our cotemporaries, that " any
Government, de fade, may be rightfully recognized,
o matter low at ay have originated;" since in all
ire toes .•ith new States, due regard ought to be had
to their probable permanency and stability, and to
the guarantees they offer for the due preservance of
the treaties entered into. Such prospects and such
guaratifees we think the Republics of South America
do rffvr ; and it is on that principle, and not on the
mere ground that they .are Governments de facto,
that e.• ould have them recognised.

The Papers of Sunday last have reached us.
The imeign ihtelligence they contain is, as far as it
g. cs ntirmatory ni the rejection of the Russian
ultimatum by Turkey.

A Nuremberg article of the 81st ult. after men-
tio:.n the particulars already known of the nego-
elation. at Constantinople previous to the 28th of
February, says—
" On that day (28th of February) the Turkish Go.
veinn.ent .brew down the glove; it remains to be
as,ertained whether Russia will take it up. Accord-.
jag to the system of politicians, Russia ought to do so,
in order t,' avenge her honour and make profitable
conquests. But perhaps the Emperor Alexander will
think• himselt above the insults of the Divan ; and, as
to conquests, this Monarch has invariably declared
that he does not wish for them. The non-reteption
a the Turkish Note at Vienna, seems to be a step
taken with the view that Russia may declare her ig-
norance whether the European Courts still wish an
attempt to be made for the maintenance of peace,
or whether they desire to have time to conclude a
Convention with reference to the measures to be taken
in common against Turkey."

ODESSA, MARCH 14.

The new accounts which we receive from Con-
stantinople, of the date of the 7th, confirm the pre-
vious statements of the enthusiasm excited in the
Turks by the fall of Ali Pacha. This intoxication of
success has already cost the lives of min), innocent
(;reeks; scenes of barbarity and ferocity have been
renewed in the capital, and the people are eager for
war. The Reis Effendi, is the conference of the
ltith of February, held pretty temperate language to
the,Britisli Ambassador; but the Note which he had
delivered to the Foreign Ministers proves that he
only sought to deceive the Noble Lord. We know
from good authority, that it is expressly said in it,
that if the Porte has not at the same time demanded
the restoration of the fortresses which it has lost in
Asia, it is pure moderation on its part. The Otto-
man Cabinet also accuses the Austrian Cabinet of
partiality to Russia, in the exertions of its Minister to
maintain peace. These two points may enable us to
guess at the rest of this Turkish Note; and we may
be easily persuaded that the measure of the iniquity
of that Power is full. Some persons affirm here that
the first news of the rejection of our ultimatum was
known on the sth instant, and that it was immediately
sent to St. Petersburgh.
