SALEM, May /.

TIE Icrkish Wlr-By captain Wilt
am Cook, who arrived here on "Wednesday
night from Palermo in Silicy, we have
some additional particulars respecting the
new war which has been commenced be-
tween the Turks and Russians, which is
likely soon to assume high degree of in
tercst and Importance. The Turks are
doubtless considered as acting part as
signed them by Bonapartc and, as was
to be expected, the British have made
common cause with the Russians against
them. We have already had some reports
OF the progress of the Russian arms, under
Gen. Nicholson, in the direct route for
Constantnoplc Captain {. further in
forms us OF the corporations OF Il naval
force in the expedition against the Ottoman
capital. Dispatches had arrived at Sicily,
with orders for Sir Sidney Smith to join
Admiral Duckworth, and sail with all pos
sible speed for the Dardancllcs, TO act in
concertwlth the Russians against the Porte :;
and they sailed, i'll consequence, on the 96th
OF January. We do not know the amount
of the British force The Russians were
stated to have twenty-five sail Of men of
war in the Mediterranean, on board of
which was 4 considerable number oftroops:
and it was expected that in conjunction
they would attack the Dardanelles and pass
up to Constantinople. In the mean time
fears were entertained for the safety of Ad-
miral Louis, who with small squadron
was by the last advices, above CONSTANT
nople, and who might therefore be arrcs-
ted on his return into the Archipelago if
the Turks should be appraised in season of
the hostility of Great-Britain.
OF the warbetween the French and Rus.
slams 10 intelligence could be obtained in
that quarter, to be relied on. The accounts
were such as had passed though French
channels, and in general represented b.
naparte as having met with little or 10 OBJ
struction i'll his victorious career
Our countrymen at Sicily were highly
gratified at receiving, in London prints of
the 5tR OF January, official accounts of the
conclusion of treaty between Grcat-Brj-
tain and America the more so, as the Pa
ris papers few days previous had repre-
scented the negotiation as likely TO fail, and
rupture between the two countries as al
most unavoidable. At the same time there
was considerable murmuring among the
British on the occasion; for, though the
conditions OF the treaty were unknown, yet
there was general impression that the
American commissioners had got the adj
vantage in the negotiation, and that the ho-
nor and interest of Old England had not
beenproperly maintained
Business ut Naples and Leghorn was ex-
tremely dull, and nearly stagnated at the
former place, by means of the continual
contributions levied on the merchants by
the new government.

Under all the circumstances attending

spiracy, and topray that nothing may hap

of the house-seepers, as would supply

they do not set any value on the price Of
rags, at least set some value or the adj.

from so laudable spirit of economy..-

two or three or dozen pounds of rags.
there are useful public institutions which

The quantity Of British goods import

Various causes are ascribed for this nc.

.-..lhat the decree Of blockade in Europe
has had its eBea there, and rendered il
necessary to find a make, some where.
Another cause is that many people who
possesses such sagacity as is attributed TO
rats, are quitting the ship before it sinks.
