FRANKFORT, MARCH 14.

- - .
A corps of 8,000 men, forming the van of the great
Turkish army, which is on its march from Constan-
tinople, has arrived at Braila; this news has been
brought to Odessa by an extraordinary courier.
A report is spread to-day on 'Change, that a cpm-
munication of the highest importance has been made
to the Austrian Cabinet by the Minister of Russia at
Vienna. It was added, that the negociation relative
to the affairs of Turkey bad been broken off, and that
the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh had definitively de-
clared war against the Ottoman Porte.
It has been said that Count Bual Schauenstein, the
Austrian Minister, and President of the German Diet,
had proposed to call out several corps of troops, in
order to make the system of armed neutrality adopted
by the Confederation respected. We can affirm that,
at present, this statement is wholly unfounded.
Two delegates of the Military Committee of the
Diet, Baron de Wogant and M. Eberle, an Officer of
the Staff of the Austrian army, who had been sent to
Luxemburgh and Rastadt, have returned to Frank-
fort. The first. was charged to examine the fortifi-
cations of Luxembargh, which will be considerably
augmented; the second has made a report on the
difficulties there would be in erecting a fortress at
Rastadt, as was proposed. It seems certain that this
design will be renounced.

PROVINCIAL PARLIAMENT OF LOWER CANADA.
LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, FEBRUARY 4.

Resolved, That an answer be sent to the Message of the
Assembly, complaining of certain words used in the debate in
the Hotke on the 25th of January last, by the Honourable
John Richardson, a Member of this House, to inform the
Assembly that the Legislative Council are extremely dtsirous to
preserve a good understanding between the two Houses, and
are willing to inquire into the matter of the said Message—hut
that the House doth conceive that it is not consistent with the
honour of this House, or with the rights of its Members, to
proceed upon a presumed breach of the privileges of the
Assembly, which the said Message alleges, until the Legis-
lative Council shall have received reparation from the Assembly
for the actual breach of its privileges, by their Address to his
Excellency the Governor-in-Chief, praying him to remove the
Honourable John Richardson from all the offices and places of
honour, trust, or mit, which he may hold under his Majesty's
Government in this Province, and thereby censure and punish
him for words used by him in debate in this House, where only,
a Member of this House, on account of words so used, can be
questioned."

The latest accounts from the lonian Islands state,
that on the 4th instant Sir THOMAS MAITLAND, the
Lord High Commissioner, opened the Legislative
Session for the present year. Sir THOMAS, in his
speech, took a review of the war between the Greeks
and the Turks, and of the troubles which have agi-
tated the lonian Islands. In speaking of the viola•
tion of neutrality, and of the measures forced on the
Executive Government, he saps—" It will be proper
here to call to your recollection the numerous emi-
grations (particularly from the Islands of Cepha-
lonia and Zante), of the people of these States; not
individually withdrawing themselves without ostenta-
tion or tumult, to follow their own yarticular fancies
and inclinations, but, throwing off their allegiance,
they quitted the lonian Islands in the face of clay,
with arms in their hands, openly braving the orders
and the authority of the Government, to wage war
against a Power in profound :unity and peace with
their own country, against which they at least had i
no ground of complaint." It then states that the
Proclamations against clandestine departure from the
Islands, were not issued till those flagrant violations
of the neutrality had taken place, and till " a regular
Manifesto had been published in the Morea, signed
by natives of Cephalonia and Zante, declaring them-
selves the Chiefs and Generals of the united forces of
these Islands."

The Speech nest adverts to the affair at ?.ante,
which is thus represented A Tut kish brig of
war, surrounded by Greek cruizers, after resisting
their attack, anchored in a bay at the back of the
Island, in the vicinity of the town, the population
of which, and of the neighbouring villages, had as-
sembled to witness the naval engagement. A small
detachment of an Officer and 20 men were sent to
ensure the observance of the sanitary laws on the'
part of the Turks, when the people commenced an at-
tack upon his Majesty's troops, wounding an Officer,
killing a soldier, and wounding two others, before
they could retreat into a house in which they could
defend themselves; and when a reinforcement arrived,
the people retired for the time. The troops were em-
ployed at the moment in the service of the people,
to prevent the danger of the introduction of the
plague into the island."
It appears that the revenue of the Islands had con-
siderably improved last year.
Sir THOMAS MAITLAND is returning to England,
for a short time, in consequence of ill health.
