FRIDAY MOR.VING, APRIL 24, 1835.

We have received the folloci•ieg rather interesting
letter from our own correspondent at present hi TurkeY-
Such information as he supplies us with may be de-
pended upon :

"Constantinople, March 25, 1835.
"A fleet of six frigates and one or two ships of the line har-
ing some time ago been ordered to be in readiness, nave now
received their final orders, it is said, to proceed forthwith to
Tripoli. Whether this is the real or plausible place of desti
nation is a matter of great uncertainty; and aahoug,h much
speculation is indulged in by the knowing ones, they are still
as profoundly ignOraut of the truth as ever. Certes, a far
greater quantity of lead has been molten into bullets of late
than the importance of the occasion would seem to demand;
a wider sphere is intended for the range of these heavy but
speedy death-messengers than that necessary for deciding the
supremacy of the Tripolitan belligerent pashas. The affair,
however, will not be long a mystery; and for the moment the
professed object is satisfactory enough to give as au answer
to diplinnatic questions.
"The labours of the arsenal are actively continued. A
frigate now on the stocks, (but nearly ready to be launched')
and the largest in the world, is to be succeeded by an enor-.
mous four decker, to mount 130 large guns, and exceed iii
.
size even the unequalled Mahmoudivi: of 130 guns. l'he mate;
rials used in the Turkish arsenal are of the very best and,
choicest quality, and even the quality of workmanship will
stand a strict examination. Indeed, were mere ships and goes
all that is necessary to form the most formidable fleet in the
world, that fleet would soon be the Turkish; but without pro-
per officers and men it is neatly as powerless as a cannon with-
out powder. An attempt was made a short tune ago to We,-
duce English and French officers into the Turkish army aria
navy; but, like every thing else intended by the government
for improvements in these departments,and in any other whereje
the welfare of the country is concerned, it was blasted by the
opposition of the Russians.
"The Greeks have lately contracted with an Englishman for
the construction of five steam-vessels, intended to form a lief'
of packets between Great Britain and the Archipelago, for the
conveyance of merchandise as well as passengers. It is ior.
possible to calculate the beneficial results of this scheme, either
to commerce in general, or to the advancement of that new'r
born but thriving country. The influx of travellers will alone
tend in the most extensive manner to the improvement of its
society, and it is in this respect mostly it is considerably he-
bind other states of Europe.
"Commerce is active here, and there is an extensive sale for
British manufactures iu all parts ottbe Levant. Coloniais ara
also in demand; and the people from the interior buy largely
from their confidence in another abundant crop of grain."

Sir JOHN CAMPBELL, it is said; is to be returned rot
some Whig borough, secured for party purposes, and pre •
served in its original rottenness from the purification °f
reform. The attorney-general is not supposed to be sic*
in these matters provided he can creep into parliameel*.
Tavistock, Calne, Morpeth, or some such place, is copse'
quently deemed good enough for Sir JOHN CAMPBELL.
What is the meaning of this curious arrangement P •
Just this. Lord JOHN RUSSELL is pretty certain or being
beaten in South Devonshire, and Edinburgh is to•become
the asylum for the home secretary. Good! It serves
Edinburgh right. The capital of Scotland is to be coo"
verted into a rotten borough for the Whigs. I..ioderu
Athens" is raised to the useful station of Old Sarul*!
and every whipster of the whig clan is to be return.
without a question being asked, piovided he can -1130 V
that he has been rejected by any place or any body of
electors in England or Ireland.
And is it come to this? Are the people of Scotiall4
so senseless and besotted that they can submit to treat!",
meat that ought to fire their blood, rouse their indigna-
tion, and induce them to drum the whig candidate " egOr
