Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, June 81.

S0ine letters by the malta HAL az
pounce the important intelligence ofpeace,
having been signed between Turkey ana
Rassia-They add, that an official com
nunication Of that event had been recelv-
ed. IF that had been the fact, it would
have been transmitted to his majesty $
government, who have not received any
such information. Yet we do not think
the Intelligence improbable. The last Pa
ris papers stated that the armistice had
not been broken, and we know the an xie-
ty which the court of Petersburg has ma
infested to put an end to hostiIities with
the Porte, under the impression that it
would soon have occasion to employ Its
arms in another quarter.

to proceed to Messina. The motives OF
his departure from his brothers. court and
territories. are not yet known.

alton not to accept any part ofthe salary

Similar acts of INSTRUMENTATION have oc-
Cured in other parts of the kingdom, some
of which have been paFdoned, and others
visited with death and the severest pu-
nishment the law can inilict. 1t would

motives ofnational policy and benefit, but
as the copy ola similar measure original
ed by great continental power, & adopt
ed only from congeniality Of designs and
sentiments with that power"
