NEW YORK, MARCH IL.
The ship Robert Edwards arrived here
yesterday from London aud Plymouth.

user with paper of the latter place of
the 24'h, and London papers TO the even
Ing OF the 22d of'January.
he Paris dates are Jan. Goth, which
are still full of contradictions with regard
to Russia and Turkey. 1t was reported
that an order fer the evacuation of Mol
davIa and Wal,achia, by the Turks, had
been resisted by the Jannisaries at Jassy.
AT Vienna it was stated that, instead Of
cvacuatmg those provinces, the Turks
have recently reinforced their army in
mat quarter, which now amounts to
$4,000 men, On the other hand, letter
from Odessa of Dec. ed says that, in
consequence of the representation of the
Austrian and English Ambassadors, the
Divan had requested a delay OF thirty
days, to give definitive answer 10 the
Russian ultimatum.
The Greeks arc said to have made
themselves masters Of Patras on the Cd
of December, after most obstinate at
teeh, and 40 have gained other advan-
,ages.
London, Jan. 10.
Letters from ST. Petersburgh Of the
18th Dec. say, the long expected Rus
sian Tariff is highly injurious to the COM
mercial interests Of this country, and that
a prejudice exists in favor of the United
States. The British Ambassador exert
ed himself without effect to procure a
modification with regard to this country.
A letter from Trieste, OF the Goth llt.
says that news had arrived from Smyrna
OF an embargo being laid by the Turks
on all Greek properly. There was, how
ever, no want of European vessels in the
Archipelago TO protect their commerce.
Paris, Jan. II.
The Augsburgh Gazette states that
500 Russian wagons, loaded with ammu
milton, passed the Dneiper on the eth OF
December, and proceeded towards ks
chenow and the Pruth.
The order ofthe day for the law projct
on the press is fixed for Saturday. 1t will
be preceded by the hearing of petitions.
One from Count Leaumont proposes
that the French government should take
means to recover the possession of St.
Domingo Another from NJ. de Castinc
prays that treaty of commerce may be
entered into with Hayti
Constantiaohle, Dec. 10.
The Turkish feet remains at the OAR
danelles, but it is expected will shortly
put to sea. We have no news of the
Greek squadron.

LONDON, JAN. 70.


The Paris journals of Thursday reach
ed town yesterday by express. In the
Chamber of Deputies on the preceding
day, the discussions were vehement, and
marked by the Incorporate conduct to-
wards the new Ministry which has re-
Gently prevailed; but they are of little
interest out of France. The Chevalier
Mascannhas, in quality of Charge d'Af-
fairies for Portugal, has been presented
to his Majesty.
From the east Of Europe, it is stated,
that the Greeks Of Cassandra, who lately
were defeated there, have resumed Of
fensive measures on the arrival of a rein
forcement in the Gulf of Cohtessa, and
have advanced to Panomi, place about
IS leagues distant from Salonica. Mea-
surcs seem to be taking for the evacua-
ton of Wallachia and Moldavia by the
Turkish troops, but some letters assert
that this is not with pacific intentions, but
for the sake oftaking up stronger posi-
ton on the Danube.
We have received letters from Madrid
Of the recent date of the 9TH inst. The
intelligence from Seville and Cadiz,
though it does not announce the entire
submission of the Authorities in those
provinces to the government, proves that
the leaders Of the insurrectionary move
ment are disconnected, and only seek to
withdraw with safety from the situation
in which they are placed. These letters
speak very lightly of the affair at BARGE
Iona, which has been magnifed by the
French papers into declaration of indie
pendence, it being nothing moro than
declaration against the Ministry, signed
b. some ofthe heads Of Corporations, but
in which the principal Authorities took
no part. The whole passed over with
out tumult. Up to the 9TH inst. the ex-
pected change in the Ministry at Madrid
had not taken place, and the information
was as imperfect as ever, whether only
three OF four members, or the whole of
the Cabinet, were to retire. Another
day or two, it is affirmed, must decide
the affair.
l, is believed that, in the event of the
secession OF the whole, or part of the
Ministry their places would DC Suppiled
ad interim by Commissioners, holding
the rank Of Provisional Ministers, whose
functions were to continue till the month
Of May. when the Ministry would be de-
finitiveiy chosen from the members of
the Cortes going out. On the whole,
these letters from Madrid are extremely
satisfactory. They express a confident
belief that the crisis is now past, and that
IN very short period there will not re-
snain single point in the Peninsula
where the authority of the government
will be condemned, and knowing them to
proceed from very high and respecta-
BILE quarter, we cannot hesitate to believe
that their confidence is well founded.

CONGRESSIONAL.
SENATE.
March Z.

Mr.. JOHNSON OF KY. presented a Pc
tition from John Cleves Symmes, of Gin
cinnati, in Ohio, stating his belief of the
existence of an inhabited concaye to
this Globe; his desire to embark on a
voyage of discovery, to one oEthe polar
regions his belief in the value and great
honor to his country of the discoveries
which he would make; that his pecu-
mary means are inadequate to the pur-
pose, without public aid and suggesting
to Congress the equipment of two YES
sells of $50 or 500 tons, for the expedi-
ton, and the granting of such other aid
as the government may deem requisite
10 promote the object. A motion was
made to refer the petition to the commit
tee on Foreign Relations, which was re-
fused and, after some conversation, it
was decided to lay it on the table.
March IL.
The Senate, according to the order of
the day, took up the resolution introduced
by Mr.. Barbour on the 18th of Deem
Der proposing an amendment TO the Con-
stitulion to preventive number of mem
bers of the House of Representatives
from exceeding two hundred.
Mr.. B.rosc and sublni,ted, in speech,
his reasons for introducing this PROPOSE
ton, and for considering it, in principle,
correct and expedies,t. He concluded
by expungins that part of tie resolution
which proposed the number of 200, that
the Senate might first vote on the naked
question of the expediency Of limiting
the number at all--lcaving the number
blank.
MIR. HOLMES, of Maine, suggested
that the sense of the Senate would per-
haps be best obtained by taking it on a
motion to postpone the resolution indie
6nitely. This course being assented to
BY Mr.. BARBOUR,
The question was taken on postponing
the resolution indefinitely, and decided
iD the affirmative as follows:
