The sales OF Cotton at Liverpool, the

reduction Of about ! to I'D per ID from

II is said that all expectations of
between Russia and Turkey had termi-
mated. The King OF France ina mes
sage to the Peers on the 10th of June,
states g that it is with the most sincere
| pleasure that he informs the Chamber,
that he has received news since the open
ing of the session which announces that
heace 7viU not be disturbed in the EGsts
and that he feels lively satisfaction in
imparting the knowledge of this fact"
The accounts from Odessa are to the
18th OF May, and from Constantinople
the 18th. They confirm the evacuation
of Moldavia and Wallachia by the Turk
ish troops. Russian vessels were clear
ing ont at Odessa, loaded with grain for
Constanlinoplc. On this subject The
London Courier of the 10Th remarks,
" So assured are The merchants of peace
that they warrant vessels free Of capture
or seisurc at Constantinople, and several
ships were yesterday insured az Lloyd's,
under these circumstances at one per

The last accounts from ireland are

western part of Galway, men, women
and children, dying Of starvation, and
the mortality SO great, that every one
who could was flying as from plague.
Sligo was similarly circumstances. In
Cork county typhus fever of most
malignant kind has already appeared.
In Mayo, the deaths from starvation were
increasing. In short, great part Of
the west and south of Ireland presented
the shocking and appalling spectacle Of
a dense population in state of famine,
and upon the brink ola pestilcnce. We
repeat, says the last Dublin paper, that
a million of men, women, and children,
are starving-are actually dying OF hun

remembered, malignant fever, with
every appearance ofthe worst symptoms
Of pestileuce, has set i'm
Notw outstanding the subscriptions
continued to be liberal, it is said they
are wholly inadequate to the actual wants
Of the people.
The Dublin Patriot remarks on this
subject" We pledge ourselves to this
fact-that the distress, in extent and de-
gree, even in those parishes where it

at length arrived yesterday at Belgrade,
and brought accounts very unfavorable
