LONDON Jan. 16.
1t is his Majesty's intention to open
Parliament in person.
We consider it not at all unlikely
that the Message of the President ofth
United States will give umbrage to the
Russian Government.
In truth, the tone of that Message is
very decidedly hostile TO the extrava-
giant pretensions off Power which, with
all imaginable GOODNESS, contemplated
the turning by a Russian Ukase, of the
Pacific Ocean into Russian Lake.-We
have reason to believe, that the explain
ations which have taken place between
our own Government, and that of the
United States, upon the subject of the
Message have been of the most satisfac-
tory kind. We believe, also, we NAV
venture to assure our readers, that upon
all the great measures now engrossing
the attention of Europe and the United
States, this country and America under
stand each other perfectly and are upon
the best possible footing Courier.
Letters dated the 29th ult. from Cadiz
mention that the expedition against
South .America which has been for some
time preparing in that part was on the
point of sailing. The Asia, the only
vessel of war in the harbour, was not to
form part of the expedition, only the
frigates and smaller vessels.
The conferences for the surrender of
Coron and Modon have not led to any
result; the Turkish garrisons of those
places asking terms which the Greeks
have not judged acceptable-and the
latter having learned that the Turks
began TO be in want of provisions, and
that they had many sick.
Prince Maurocordato, who saved
Missolonghi last winter by his judicious
measures for its defence, has returned
10 that place, where he has caused him
self to be acknowledged as civil Gov
ernor and military commandment in West
ern Greece.

provision had been made according TO
the true meaning of the national confed-
eracy, TO protect the sea-board from the
enemy's attacks that the claim set up,
for the service of the militia, was not
within any provision of the Constitution.
The sea-board being left entirely de-
fenceless, and the war becoming more
and more serious, and the public credit
having greatly declined, and seeing no
hope of peace, nor of protection in war,
the great body of the people became
exceedingly alarmed. Nor will the
men who then held the national power,
deny, that rhey were as much alarmed

the war had been declared, whatever
those objects may have been. Such
was the'deIight with which the return
of peace was hailed, that all animosities
were instantly forgotten, and those

Destructive FIRE.-Yesterday, about
noon, a fire broke out in the PRINCIPAL
work shop of the United States Arsenal.

shop is supposed TO have lodged upon
the roof of the long and spacious build
ing which stood at right angle with it,
and was appropriated to various depart

at least for a season. The Chapel
which was directly in the course of The
flames, and but few feet from the
burning building, was, by the most
laudable exertions, saved--as was also
the forging shop, which adjoined the
other end of the building which was
consumed. The houses, shops, and
outbuildings across the street and oppo-
site the ArmoTy, were several times on
fire. BY the exertions ofthe workmen
and citizens, most of the property with
in the building was rescued from the
flames, without injury, and the loss
rendered comparatively mconsiderable.

LONDON, Jan. 90.
Letters from Constantilople of the
18th ult. give very favourable picture
OF the prospects of the Greeks, as found
ed upon the disunion of the Turks res
pecting the mode of operation against
them. The Divan had, after Discus
sion OF nearly a months duration, resolv-
ed upon sending tie Grand Vizier against
the Greeks, armed with full powers by
the Sultan. On account of the great OBJ
lection which the Turks have TO the
Grand Vizier's quitting the capital, and
which arises from superstitious notion
that such step is only justified by
state Of extreme peril, the decision
had met with the most decided obiec-
tons, and the Jannissaries had even pro-
ceeded to outrage. 1t was therefore
imagined that the intention would be a.
bandoned.

least GEORGE WASHINGTON o.

OF this County as far as Fall River, and

ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

There is no thing that is so important to a
young man that is just entering on the stage Of life,
as the choice OF company; every thing in great
measure depends upon that. The dashing rakes
and dssipated tops may have their alluremens, but
above all things, young men beware OF them. They
entice but to ruin, and he who is weak enough to
be led into their shares may be sure OF meeting
with nothing but disappoiutment chagria, the loss
OF health, and an empty purse. Therefore it is OF
the greatest consequence, to choose suitable com.
panions TO associate with.
Many imagine that they shall not be considered
gentlemen without they swear roundly, drink down
rher bottle of wine, and smoke their dozen OF segars
at sitting but mistaken young men, beware how
you indulge yourselves in such pernicous practices:
for depend upon it, it you led thus by degrees
into vice, your fame fortune, and health, will pay
dear for your folly-In drunken rerets and noisy
carousatS you may make The moments of time ap.
pear to pass with swlness, but recollect that every
aeeting moment brings you nearer to that bourne
from whence no traveller returns ~. f.. Far.
