| BY the arrival last evening oil the ele-
giant ship Florida, Capt Matlack, in 80
days from Liverpool, the Editors of The
Commercial Advertiser have received
lar flies Of London papers to the
evening OF the 5lh, Liverpool Of The OH,
and Lloyd's Lists OF the 9Th of April.
We have at last by this conveyance,
something which can be relied on re-
speeding the famous ultimotum of which
| the world has heard so much for upwards
Of year back The Turkish Divan
has finally rejected all proposals made
by the Russian government. 1t has
even refused to send Commission
ers TO the frontiers TO negotiate with
those of Alexander. This information
is contained in the official note present
ed by the Ottoman Refs Edendl 10 the
English and Austrian Ambassadors, on
the Sd of March, the substance of which
will be found in our extracts. From
this document it appears that The affairs
OF the Greeks were the principal OBJ
stacle to an adjustment. The Porte
loudly comp lains against the secret in
| iluence of the emissarics of Alexander,
and of the protection which, in The
face OF his solemn protcstations to the
contrary, he openly gave to the
Greeks who had fed to Russia for pro-
lection, this the Divan resen,s III a lofty
tone and adds that, {" If some Christian
temple has been unlaw fully demolished,
it shall be restored afer tranq"ilA.y
shall hape been c0mfietety re-eatu6LSh-
ed. HIS tiighness Will grant an amnes-
~ to his Greek subjects OF the Archi-
pelago and Morea, zvhen !Aey shall hare
laid do7vn their arms"
We are glad 10 observe that, indspen-
den,ly altogether OF The aid of Russia.
the Greeks bid fair to dictate terms to
these naughty Muss!emen, without be-
ing compelltd either to lay down their
arms, or TO submit TO conditions which
would impose upon them their former
chains. The accounts previously re-
ceived of the victory recently obtained
bv the Greek fleet over that of Turkey,
are now fully confirmed. The engage
mens, II appears, continued during the
whole OF the night Of the Sd oil March.
The Greeks captured twenty five ships,
drove five ashore, and blew up two AL
gerines. The Ouomans had also seven
vessels sunk, among which YVES that oil
| the Vice Admiral, who persisted. The
yiclors were in pursuit OF the shattered
remains of the enemy's feet when the
| last accounts came away.
The British govern nent is said to
have determined on uniting Upper and
Lower Canada, with view as ii is given
out, to save the expenditure incurred by
the present double administration.

The ad,iccs from Constantinople are
to March 9th. The Divan assembled
on the 28h of February, to take into
consideration the note of the Anbassa-
doris. The result was reply not so Ia
vorable to peace as was expected. "The
Assembly unanimously resolved, that
the propositions contained in the Rus
sian uhimatum were of nature tina,
could not be accepted" Subsequently,
repeated interviews took place between
Lord Strangford and the Refs FtTendi,
which terminated abruptly and on the
Sd note was delivered 10 the English
and Austrian Ambassadors, of which the
following mas been given as the sub
stance:
"The Divan witnesses with pleasure
the etfurts which its friends the Ambas-
sailors, Of England and the Austrian In
ternuncio, made TO adjust the differences
which have arisen between the Sublime
Porte and the Gar of the Muscovites !;
but the DIvan views, as useless to the
proposed object, all farther discussion
OF the proposition contained in the Rus
sian neutrality-suspicious. which are
incompatible with the sovereignty OF his
Highness.

mentioned Ambassadors would make
known to their Courts the subjects of
complaint which the Porte has against
the Moscovites, viz That the Russian
Consuls chosen from the Greek nation,
thinking themselves secure under their
Barat, Cor Russian letter of naturaliza-
TOM have openly taken gar. in The plots
