The Liverpool Advertiser of the 18th
of August says, "the fate Of the Turkish
empire, and what is much more impor-
tant, the future fortunes of the interest
ing and illustrious people Who have so
long pinned under its iron rule, is still in
volVed in doubt and perpIexity. The re-
ports and statements which arrive in con-
slant succession from that quarter, are SO
vague and contradictory, that the ru-
mOur of one day generally destroys
the preceding. In one important view,
however, it must be confessed appearan-
ces have become more favorable. Alex
ander has made solemn declaration that
he entertains no views of conquest from
the present distractions of the Turkish
Empire, thong he expresses, at the same
time, an unequivocal opinion that the cruel
ties and carnage which have lately dis
graced even the Ottoman name, cannot
any longer be endured by the powers of
Chris.endom. This is exactly what
ought to be done, and it is not more than
we expected from the Emperor Alexan-
der. That monarch has been the object
OF much severe ceHsure and illiberal as
persion, but we have thus far seen moth
ing to convince us that he is seeking a
quarrel with tie TURKS merely for the
purpose of self ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

the pier from the Lightning Steam Pac-
ket at Keith with but lew attendants, and
proceeded to the lord Lieutenants lodge
in Phenix Park, where he had remained
for several days.
RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
The London Courier speaking Of the
affai OF Turkey, says "the intelligence
brought by the foreign arrivals leaves US
in doubt as to what may be the definite
measures OF Russia with respect to Tur-
key AS far as rumou may be credit
ed, inGeed, there is every appearance of
warlI~e preparations; nay some accounts
add that the preliminary act of hostility
has taken place by the entrance of part

The fact undoubtedly is,
that the question of interference is sur
rounded on every side with great difficult
ties. Russia cannot stir singly, without
exciting the just Jealousy OF Europe. for
it would not be easy TO show what indi
