&ace gives an extract of a letter from Constantinople

~om Egypt and Sysia in such quantitie,, as to
!move all immediate apprehensions of scarcity.—
The Russian fleet off Tenedos is accompanied by a
swarm of Greek privateers,who indiscriminately plunder
all they meet. The Turks hope that this will soon
produce some collision bttween the fleets of the dii.
terent Powers. There is no appearance of accommo-
dation in the Pune, and tt.e Sultan, it is said, has ex-
pressed his Met mination to have all or nothing, and
that " the Tut kish Empire shill be restored to the same
tertitorial situation which it has occupied for the last
century."

French vessels were on the eve of sailing for Buenos Ayres.

gotiations for the establishment of peace were going forward with
the greatest activity, and it is said that the Prussian Cabinet have

from St. Petersburgh, bringing accounts that the Emperor Nl-
unmake is more determined than ever to continue the war with
the greatest energy. The greatest enthusiasm is displayed through-
out the Russian empire for war, and the recruiting was going for-
ward with the greatest promptitude.

house of liastiscrrox and Co. cannot be stopped, as, if they are
refused in the Exchequer market, they may be kept tiU due, when
they will be paid by Government, or they may be given at the
, Custom House for duties, with a loss of about 2or 3 per cent.
