Paris papers to the Ist instant have mired, and
contradict the statement that Count Letzow, the Aus-
trian Intereencio at Constentioople, has left that city
for Vienna. An article is these papers. dated Vienna,
April 19, says, the Counsellor of State, Tatischeff, had
sat Lis audience of leave of the Emperor eatil this
afternoon. He sets out to-sorrow for Petersburg.
His misslon appears therefore ea b. AstiolsedArd4s is
genersily assorted in public, that all the differences
with the Porte will be amicably adjusted. M. ee
Tatiseiself did not think lit to wait for the courier
from Coact Lutsow. It appears that the news al-
ready io his possession milked to determine his lir
parture, which bad bees so often ancousced. The
,Torks continue to make defensive preparations in
Illoldavia and Wallachia. Six hundred waggonsillesi'
with ammunition arrived in the neighbourhood of
Siliatria on the sth of April. In one of these joornalai
is a letter from Madrid, dated the 23;, which state,"
that the Cortes in a recent sitting, adopted the pre-
lintioary project presented by the Transmarine Com-
mittee, relative to the provinces of Spanish Americo,
the Independence of which is established de facto,
having for its object to invite the Oovernment to
adopt, in concert with the Council of State, the Int.st
suitable measures fur promptly establishing riegocia-1
titan with these provinces.

Advices have been received from Cape Coast Castle,
stating that the Dutch Government has sent out to
the 0 00000 or and residents of their Settlement, of
Emeriti& Castle, full permission to sell cargoes to the
Portuguese, and other slave trailers; thereby affording
treat facility to that traffic ; and that i■ consecrienee,
many slave-vessels had anchored at that Port, and have
been amply supplied. The Settlement of the Gold
coast has been very unhealthy, last year.

Extract of a Letter from Washington, March 25.
The European Ministers at Washingion, (very pro-
bably in the absence of special instructions.) fed it a
daty to enter their protests ageinat our recognition
of South American Independence, with a view of ex-
tending or withdrawing said protest when further ad.
wised. But this proceeding no doubt will have no
effect on the President; whatever it may have on the
Congress.

Yesterday morning, a Messenger arrived in London,
from Vienna, with dispatches for Prince Rsterbasy, the
Ausbaosailor. The same Messenger also brought dis-
patches from Mr. Gorden, our Charge d'Affaires at
Vienna.

Intelligence of an important chararter, as regards
the Turkish (location, arrtred yesterday from Vienna.
It was brouglat by an extraordinary courier, the ad-
vice, being of the very recent date of the 24th ult.
We learn that an odicial communication has been
made from St. Petersburg to the Court of Vienna, in•
dicating oo the part of the Emperor the most pacific
sentiments, and a perfect acquiescence in the proposals
submitted to him by the mediating powers, f the
purpose of p ing the peace of Europe. The ex-
act nature of the arrangements suggested has not
transpired ; bat we are assured, tint the message from
the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh was in a tons so con•'
dilatory (at a period, too, when poltaps contrary see•
timents were anticipated) that meisengers were bum,.
Jiately despatched by the Austrian tiorernment to
convey the agreeable intelligence to the different

A member of letters were received in town yesterday,
which have been saved from the wreck of the American
ship, Albion.
Private letters were received yesterday from Odessa,
dated the sth of April. Nothing further was known'
there with respect to the question of war or peace, aid
much inconvenience was experienced by merchants,
owing to the state of uncertainty in which affairs
rested. The destroying of the free port franchise had
knocked on the head all commercial weak', and the
scarcity of money was very great.
A letter from Stockholm, dated April 19, says—
" Our Ooverstneot has granted to all Spanish ships io
the ports of Sweden, the same immunities and privi-
leges enjoyed by the most favoured nations."
Madrid papers which have arrived to the 21st, state,
that the Cotter. is their sitting of the 13th, proceeded
to the discussion of a proposition by Senor Orduna,
for reducing the number of Ecclesiastics. The pro.
position baying been referred to the consideration oil
a Committee, it was reported divided into eight ar
tides. The first article was to the following effect:—
" That the Archbishops and Bishops do refrain from
conferring superior orders, until the Corms, after
having formed regulations for the clergy, and ascer-
tained the number of ministers of worship which may
be necessary, shall determine accordingly." A long
debate ensued, which was continued through the sit.
ling of the following day. The first article was st
last agreed to with an amendment, providing that
those already ordained is elcria might be raised to
the priesthood. Tht other articles, which embraced
details for carrying the proposition into effect, were
also adopted. In the sitting of the 17th, the Cortes
elected the Junta for the protection of the liberty of
the press. An eminent lit harecter, Don Ma-
nuel Jose Quintana, was placed at the head of the list,
having ebtained the greatest lumber of votes. A de-
bate took place in the sitting of the 19th on a propo-
sition for referring the penal code, as agreed to ►y
the late Extraordinary Cortes, to the King for his
unction. This question was decided in a manse
favourable to the views of the Ministry: the division
being 69 in f of the proposition, and 49 against it.

&rabic time.

The Right Hon. Sir B. Bloomfield arrived in the

(Disdin Rocnigg Post.)

We onde.stand that the trial of Mr. Stuart is fixed
for the latter end of May. The 27th is mentioned as
the day.—(Ediaborgh Star.)
We understand upwards of 2,000/. of the bills
stolen from the East Lothian Bank have been di,-
counted in this town; and it is supposed that Borth•
wick, the Cashier of the Bank, sailed from this port
on Wednesday, the 17th inst., in the Juno, Captain
Doak, for Savannah.—(Liverpool Adeertirer.)
The wheat in every part of the west of Scotland is
extremely promising, and the oats present a fine
braird. There were some oats sown in a field
near Toilcross, and on the fifth day they were
nearly all aerosol' the ground. The country people
are at present busy planting potatoes.
Last week butter was purchased in Montrose mar-
ket at 9J. per pound, and eggs at 3d. per dozen ; and
on Thursday last, potatoes were called through the
!poets, to be had in the neighbourhood at four shil-
lings per boll.
The Albion schooner arrived at Berwick, on Tues-
day, from Bergen, with ice. Sunday the same vessel
sailed for another cargo of that precious and valuable
article—a circumstance unprecedented in the history
of salmon fishing in the river Tweed.
On Sunday morning last, a cavalcade of abave
140 men, women, and child-en, passed through
Sheffield and on the Glossop road, on their nay to Li-
verpool, to embark for the United States of America.
['hese families consisted of poor acriculturists from
the neighbourhood of Loath and 31 irket Risen, in
Lincolnshire; they arrived in Sheffield on Saturday
night, in waggons loaded with beds, clothieg, and
provisions, for their intended voyage. The liberating
population of a country was once undersood to be a
part of its riches, but now it is othe-wise. Govern
meat has regarded it as good policy t. hold out a pre•
mitire for emigration, in order to get rid of an over
production of the human species—and now there is
an overproduction of produce, and not months milli
dent to consione it; yet the industrious labourer i.
leaving his native country, and reducing the nurnher
of eaters, because he is not permit:ed to participate of
its abundance. There is something whito.icil in al.
his, and extremely inconsistent ; it i., however, la-
mentable, that the industrious labourer is oli!;:::ed to
learothplond of his birth, and endeavour in another
country to obtain tha,t employ.meni and subsistence
which Sesuleoltd him in his own.-3(a lord News.)
