LATEST FOM ENGLAND.

Mary Catherine, CaptaIn Face, arrived
at this port in the short passage of rs
days from Liverpool. We have been
favored by M. TopliF with London
papers TO April 6. Their contents BE-
gin to assume more interest and impor-
lance than those brought by former and
recent arrivals. From the article dated
London, April 5lh, given below, it APP
pears, that the negotiations between Iur-
key * Russia wifnot terminate so favora-
bly, to peace as had been before anticl-
pated. We have never seen any pre-
= ious language of the Courier, upon
dis subject, which had SO decidedly a
warlike character. 1t would seem also 10
have been prompted by authentic in
formation, as but two days before the
same paper had said, in decided terms,
there could be no doubt that peace would
be preserved.
The subject of opening the West In
d!a trade has been brought before Parlia-
mant and from the manner in which it
was brought forward, it seems highly
probable, that this measure recommend
ed by the ministry and supported with
its influence willreceive she appreciation
OF Parliament.
BRITISH WEST INDIA TRADE.
On the Is, OF pril the President fthe
Board Of Trade, Mr.. f. Robinson,
brought forward in the House OF Com
mems two resolutions, which were agreed
to and reported, and leave was given to
bring in two bills, founded upon these
resolutions the one for regulating the
trade between the British West Indies
and the United States; the second to
regulate the trade between the former
and other parts Of The world. BY the
first of these bills, as Mr.. Robinson ex-
planned himself in his speech to the
House, preparatory to moving his reso-
buttons, is intended to open the West In
ola Islands TO direct trade with this
country, si4bjecting such oil our exports
as are also produced in Great Britain and
in the British North America Colonies,
viz. corn, -four, and timber, 10 small
discriminating duty. The second bill
con,emplaies, to provide for direct
trade between the WestIndia Islands
and other parts of the world. The pro-
liability OF the complete independence OF
South America srctns to have been
among e.principal inducements to this
measure.
5 The disturbances, outrages, and MUIR
dcrs, continued in ireland. Executions
OF the disconnected were constantly ia
king place, under the protection OF a
powerful military escort. The discon-
tented appear to be well supplied with
arms and ammunition.
ST. PETERBOROUGH, MARCH 9.
We expect that the new tariff will soon
be published, by which it is probable that
trade viii be renderedmo brisk, an ex-
traoUlinary s,agnatlon having arisen from
the incredibly great importation and the
want of sale caused by the difficulty Of
communication with the interior from
the uli.tiiless OF the winter.

The Quarters Revenue. Quar-
ter's Revenue is generally made up on
the 5ln Of April; but the sth falling up
on Good Friday, the Quarter was made
up last night, aud we are happy TO say,
that there Is an increase OF upwards of
four hundred thousand pounds upon
comparison with the corresponding Quar-
ter Of last year.
The contents Of the French papers re-
ceived this morning, as might be ex-
pccted, are of most warlike character !;
and it can be TO longer doubted, we APP
prehcnd, that the pacific hopes which
were SO strongly entertained aweek ago
are now, il not at an end, at least consi-
derably diminished. The cause Of this
sudden change in the temper Of tie
Turkish government has not transpircd;
and in the absence Of positive facts, con-
lecture, as usual, is very active. Some
say that the Divan have been all along
cajoling the European Ministers at Con-
stan,nople, in order to gain time; others,
that the fate of Ali Pacha has inspired
this fatal energy; while third class of
reasons maintain, tina, tho dread of pro-
voking the Janissaries has induced the
Sultan to abandon his pacific policy. Ii
may be that all these various motives are
among the ingredients = ina, resolution
which appears to have been .lecisiyely
taken at last; but,on the other hand, it
is just as likely that mere barbarian ca
price is the solitary cause. The politi-
cal consequences TO which q war will
