morrow, in which he saq, N that having found himself compelled •
to vote against_ Mr. rut., he was ready to resign his situation
if that were thought proper."—His Grace' considered this letter
as a virtual resignation, and arded it a
ctorgly this
Maurer on Tuesday.A letter for
to w
the same effect from Lord
Potauttsros being soon after received, was also transmitted in the
same manner to the Kiso. Subsequently Mr. Hustissos addressed
a second letter to the Noble Duke, saying, " that he had not in-
tended to resign, and that all he meant by his first letter was this—
that having been compelled to vote against Mr. Pau., the leader of
the House of Commons, he should not consider himself ill used if
he were to be deprived of his office." The Duke of Wm.:mu:not
forwarded this second letter, as he bad done the first, to his MA.
.11ISTY, and here the matter still rests for the present."

There has been a report that the SULTAN, sensible ol
the approaching danger which threatens his political
existence, has shown a disposition of submitting to the
terms insisted on by Russia. and among which there is
one that would shake to its centre the pride of the
Ottoman Power, as it requires nothing less than the
razing of the Turkish Forts at the Bosphorus. This
humiliation would deprive the Ottoman Porte of the
power of closing the Black Sea against merchant ships
or men of war, and would give to Russia the best security
that the commerce of her southern provinces with the
Mediterranean will henceforward remain undisturbed,
whatever the differences may be that might arise in the
sequel between the two Governments. In a political
point of view, this measure would be of still.more im-
portance, as it would prevent the Porte from impeding
in future the intercourse between Russia and Greece.
According to the last arrivals from the Continent by
the French and German mails, the SULTAN, and the
commandineurkish Generals, have neglected nothing
that could inspire the troops with zeal for the defence
of their religion and country. The SULTAN was con-
stantly in the midst of his troops, and great fetes were
given to him and to his army; but notwithstanding all
these exertions, it will be impossible for him to with-
stand the forces that are sent against him, the whole
number of his regulai army, since the destruction of the
Janissaries, amounting to no more than 70,000 men, all
of whom are troops of the new levy, and without
ex

!nce.

The United States of America, availing themselves of
the present state of the Porte, have concluded with her
a convention, by which the privilege of entering the
Channel had been granted to the American flag, on the
payment of a duty of b per cent. The Porte having
since last year concluded Treaties to this effect with
almost all the minor naval Powers of Europe, this pri-
vilege has consequently become less valuable than it
was considered hitherto, and should she indeed see her-
self compelled to dismantle her forts on both sides the
shore, it will then become a matter of discussion, whe-
ther she would be emitted further to exact any duties
upon foreign ships passing the Dardanelles.

The Gazelle de Florence announces, as certain, that
the Russian Admiral has received orders from his
Government to blockade the Dardanelles.

A letter from Toulon of the 15th of May states, that
the Breslow, Scipion, and Sirene, have received orders
to sail on the 18th for the Levant.

By the arrival of the Alecto from Jamaica,. at Liver•
pool, Jamaica Papers to the 28th March have been
received. The following is an extract :

" CARTHAGENA, 111*.scu IS.

le I am happy to inform you that we have been per-
fectly tranquil here since I last wrote to you, and at
present there appears no apprehension for further alarm.
By the post we have learned that General Padilla had
passed through Mompox, for Ocana, on the 19th inst.
Several Officers and other disaffected persons will be
sent off. The whole conspiracy has been fully deve-
loped by a few that are not able to keep their own
counsel. The withdrawing of the troops from the city
so suddenly was, they say, the saving of much blood-
shed. At any rate, we may consider ourselves fortu-
nate that it concluded so well, for the intention of Pa-
dilla and his patty were diabolical in the extreme.
" The post brought accounts of a desperate I evolt
in Upper Peru, but which had been put down by the
determined bravery of a German Officer. All this is

the work of Santander, and I now see that a civil war
must be the result. It is expected that there will be a
sufficient number of Representatives assembled tO be
ftble to sit about the second proximo. Bolivar does not
leave Bogota, as was expected. Something is brewing
there. It is said Bolivar is afraid to leave the city."

By the Dutch Mail we have received the Journal of
Si. Peter:burgh io the 11th, and Hamburgh Papers to
the 20th inst. It is stated in the former, that the Em•
peror NICHOLAS left his capital on the evening of the
7th of May, and etas expected to arrive at Ismael on the
17th. The Russian army will not pass the Danube till
after the EMPEROR'S arrival at that fortress. The fol.
lowing are ettracts:

MAY 9.—Her Majesty the Empress Alexandra set
out yesterday on her journey to Odessa.

By an Ukase of the Ist inst. his Majesty has been
pleased to grant the request of the Privy Councillor
Lanskoy, on account of his advanced age and ill health,
to resign the direction of the Ministry of the Interior and
his other functions, retaining, however, those of Member
of the Council of the Empire, and President of the Com-
mittee for the erection of Isaac's Cathedral.
The road of Cronstadt became free of ice on the sth,
