THE FOREIGN NEVIS.

The late arrivals from England furnish many
articles Of intelligence relative to the Russians
and Turks. These, however, are so vague aud
contradictory, as to leave the mind in much
doubt as to the true situation OF affairs, and as to
the real intention of the Enperour Alexander.
1t would seem to be the prevailing opinion
that war would be avoided by. the submission
OF Turkey to the demands of Russia. That
submission. however, even if it was complete
and unqualified, was made under such circum-
stances as to afford Russia pretext for resort
ing to arms. That such pretext is wished
for on the part Of Russia, can hardly be doubted
when we look at the immense military force
(300, 900 menu placed on the frontiers of Tur-
key; and when we consider the eaSemess
which exists throughout the Russian army for
war, and the policy which has always prevail
ed in the Russian councils, on the subject OF
Turkey. One can hardly be persuaded that
the immense Russian force under arms is de-
signed merely, as an army of observation, or
that, if Alexander were not DESTROYS OF war, his
demands upon Turkey would have been so
peremptory. 1t may be idle to conjecture,
but we cannot avoid suspecting that we shall
soon hear of the march OF the Russian army
towards Constantinople.
hatEngland, and perhaps France, will ex-
ert themselves to prevent hostilities, is quite
probable. The Turkish Government has hith-
erto owed its existence to the jealousy of other
European powers. The possession of CONSTANT
nople by Russia, would give to that power a
maritime Importance which England will hardly
be willing she should possess.
The Grecian instruction is now but little
heard Of, except in the reports of bloody COM
tests between small bands of the Greeks and
Turks. The naval battle, however, seems to
have been an affair of some Importance, and
gives to the Greeks decided superiority at
sea. The issue of the contest probably de-
ponds upon the result of the controversy be-
tween Turkey and Russia.

Paris,papeEs of Monday last have ar
rived. The most important part of
their intelligence is, the assurance that
the Porte has already so far acceded to
one of the demands contained in the
Russian ultimatusn, as TO issue a frman
declaring the passage ofthe- Dardanelles.
free to the Russian ships. Phis firman
is dated the 9th of August, and its APP
pearance eyinces disposition so pacif-
ick upon the part Of the Porte, that we
think it cannot fail to disarm the Russian
Government of every pretence ofgoing
to war.
An article Of intelligence from Frank
fort, dated.the 9Th of September, asserts
that the Russians have actually passed
the Pruth; and that the declared pur-
pose of the invasion is, 10 restore the
tranquility of the Turkish dominions,
by bringing the Greeks back to their
duty, and compelling the Turks to Sc
cure to them safety of persons and prop
erty. The Athenians are said to have
sent dcputat:on to Odessa, for the pur-
pose Of conveying to the Emperour Al
exander the expression. Of their hopes
that he will extend to them his favour

This work is just out of the press, and, as
we understand, iustifes the expectations which
were had of its value. We have heard il
spoken of by gentlemen who have examined
it, as awork Of much merit both in lis plan
and in its execution. 1t is comprised in one
large volume and in one alphabet-Europe is

GEN. JACKSON.

The conduct of Gen. jackson, in imprisoning
Col. Callava, and in hls measures towards
Judge Fromentin, continues to excite much
interest. With here and there an exception,
it is spoken of as it ought to be in this land OF
law and liberty. 1t was said that Judge Fro
mentin had acknowledged his eTour in isssu-
ing the writ of Habeas Corpus, and had apollo
gized to Gen. Jackson Some surprise was
naturally felt at this supposed degradation of a
Judge of the United States, who had SO far for
got himself, the authority of his Office, and the
dignity of the Government by which he was
commissioned, as to make such an acknowl-
edgment. 1t seems, however, that this report
was uHfounded, and serious controversy has
arisen between him and Gen. jackson, in con-
sequence Of the latter's having given counte-
nance to the report. 1t is much to be hoped
that the Government will interfere i'll season TO
rescue our national character from the reproach
which such conduct as that ofGen: Jackson is
likely to bring upon it..

The last arrival from England brought INTEL
ligence of a considerable rise in the corn mar
ket, owing to the unpromising appearance of
the harvest. The weather had been such as
to injurc the crops got in, and seriously to en-
danger those not yet gathered. The effect of
this intelligence, combined with that produc.
ed by the specks of war which appear in the
horizon, has been to enhance the price of -four
in our markets from Is to IS per cent. We
suspect, however, some ofthe bitsrs will getbu
in this speculation.

: BY the arrival, last evening, of the
ship Hercules, Capt. Cobb, from Liver
pool, we have received "a file of the
London Courier to the evening of the
l4th ofSeptember. The most welcome
news they contain is, the rise of the
markets in Great Britain-and,l il re-
ports be true, some Of our most vigilant
and active merchants have prefied gold
emily by the event. Although the adj
vices which the ship brougks were
known to some few early yesterday
mornings yet so admirably, were things
managed, that the news did not get
wind until late yesterday afternoon,
when it was discovered that large guam
titles. of flour had been bought up, on
speculation. and expresses sent off north
and south for the same object.

GREECE.
CALAMATA. A

Tripolitza, the capital of our penins:i-
la, has just been. reduced. The Greek
army having been concentrated in the
neighbourhood from the middle of the
last month, the attack was commenced
on the day that the commander in chief,
Demetrius Ypsilanti, and the Prince
Cantacuzeno Joined it. The former
held the chief command-the latter di-
rected the artillery. After large
breach had been made in the wall, the
Spartiats received orders to enter first,
and they were followed by the rest of
the army. The Turks made most
courageous. defence, but were compell-
ed eventually to submit The greatest
part ofthe army of Tripolitza repaired
after the victory to Patras, which is in
state of siege. The reduction of the
latter city is hourly expected.
The fortress of Monombasia has sub
mitted within these few days. The
Greeks learning on their entry into
that city, that the hostages, and all those
OF their countrymen who had'remained
in it. had been sacrificed by the Turks,
took terrible reprisals on the latter.
The Admiralty Of Hydra has transmit
. ted to cur Provisional Government the
. official news of the success gained by
our fleet off Samos. The following are
the particulars of this important victory,
which ensures TO the Greeks the domin-
ion of the sea, and will prevent the
Turks from engaging in any greater
operation
On the t2tii of July the Turkish fleet
passed Ae Dardanelles. It consisted of
4 ships, frigates, oorvettes, and 80
vessels of different rates. 1t steefed
first for she isle of Ghios, and afterwards
to Scala Nuova, where it took or board
agreat number of troops from Asia Mi
nor, which it landed on the isle Of Sa-
mos. This Turkish army, consisting of
$4,000 men, was received by the, inhab-
itants Of the island with a. degree of
courage worthy of the cause which they
defended. The engagement was bloody
and for a long time doubtful; but at
length the Turks. after considerable
loss, were repulsed to the waters edge,
and re-embarked.
1t was at this moment that. the Greek
fleet appeared on the coast of Samos..
1t was disposed in three divisions. each
consisting of 80 ships. 1t anchored in a
place Astounding with small islands and
rocks, which it left interposed between
it and the enemy. The Turkish admit
raj, eager to punish the audacity Of these
rebels, advanced towards them, and i'm
prudenay engaged them in a place
where his large vessels had not free
scope for their operations. The fight
was at first partial, ship to ship but at
length.the Greek admiral, after having
