FROM EUROPE.

By the packet ship Silas- Richards, from Liver.
pool, and the packet ship Bayard, from Havre, we
have received our regular files of English and
French papers to the LIST Feb.
Letters from Cons!antinople state that resolution
had been adopted by the Divan, in meeting, at
which the Grand Segnoir, presided, to listen TO no
proposition whatever which is founded the re-
turn OF the Greeks under the Ottom an domination.
If this be true, the downfall of the Turkish power
will be more rapid than was originally contemplated.
for in event will the Greeks return to the
Ottoman government, and some of the contnentas
will not advise the Greeks to this step.
The British government has ordered new levy
of 10000 troops to be divided between Ireland and
India.
A ministerial paper of the Goth says. we UNDER
stand that Austria, Russia Prussia, and France have
made an agreement not recognize the indepen-
dence of the South American states.
The magnificent Bazaar in Paris has been redu-
ced to ashes, with all the objects it contained.

we began this article for the purpose Of correct
inc an error into which we inadvertently feh in
noticing Mr.. Robnson's resolution upon the sub
iect OF population. We could not repress sigh
In the honor OF the state, when We saw, as we
,honyht we did two thirds Of the members of the
bouse Of representatives subscribing to the doctrine
Contained in that resolution. 1t was favorite and
eaborately drafted article, by the leader Of the
house, and supported with all his might. His fol-
lowers. however, it seems, for once, took counsel Of
,bemselyes and refused to go the measure; at least
All but four Of them refused to vote for it. When
we learn the names these four to-the-hub -men,
we shall publish them, that due honor mag be done
TO them for their mistaken fidelity to their leader.
As we have something further to say, under this
article beyond the proper limits for one paper, we
will take it up again. q

FIRE AT ST. THOMAS.

BY Captain Lane, OF the brig St. Thomas, arriv.
led here yesterday the following information is OBJ
tanned :-On the 18th Feb fire at st. Thomas
laid about 400 or 500 houses in ashes and about 100
stores of all descriptions, in the part of the
town. 1t originated In house just behind the mar
ket place, and in two hours fl ON the commencement
of the fire the principal part Of North Crownp,inces
Quarter had become prey to the devourng flames;
and notwithstanding the great exertons made TO
ARREST its progress all the houses Frenchman's
Hill excepting Major Wright's dwelling, and we
believe two small buildings, were burnt to the ground,
AS well as those in line from the malket down to
the very end of the town.
The markets were, however, but little affected by
the fire, there being such large stock of provisions,
&c. on hand, in the part of the town that remained
uninlured, and on board the numerous vessels, in
port. Not one of the American houses in the place
sustained any injury they being all located in that
part of the town which escaped the fre.-The Gov
ernor had issued an order, prohibiting the rise of
any provisions or rent in consequence of the Are,
and ofany advantage being taken of the unfortunate
snfferers.-Florr selling at Sc q; white pine
Lumber, 90; Shingles A /; Fish q Q IL per boz;
Mackerel 2 a 4 and almost every other article
of provision in proportion.
Ia the present stale of confusion and dIsmay, it
is impossible for US to form estimate OF the
mount Of loss Of property sustained, but
that it must be immense, for the fire ragged with
such fury and rapidy, with strong gale, that few
saved any thing. glad to escape with their lives.
Neither can we state the precise number of boild-
ings destroyed but on the least calculation, may
safely say that one-lhird of our unfortunate town
has been destroyed The number Of families now
houseless are considerably more than 500.
We acknowledge with gratitude, the services
rendered on this most caamitous occasion by the
commanders officers and crews Of his Britannia
majesty's brig Bellette, (Which vessel entered the
harbor shortly after the FIRE commenced) Of the
United States schooner Grampus, the English pack
ct Lady Pelham, and the captains and crews of the
merchant vessels in port their exertions truly
praseworthy, and will long be remembered by the
Inhabitants of ST. Thomas.
AT the commencement of the FIRE, the alarm guns
were fired, since which the martial law continues
the regular troops and militia corps mount guard
day and nigh, for the protection of property.

Vile Messenger
I" The long agony is orer."-Mr. Adams has
secured the presidential boon. Be it 80. 1t has
been acquired through constitutional means and,
however contrary to our wishes and unex expected to-
our hopes, the decision may appear, it behoves US
all to acquesce, if not cheerfplly, least with the
best possible grace. God save the Republic.''
1t i, due The patriotism of our countrymen, and
the correct feelings of brother editors, general.
y, 10 state that similar spirit appears to pervade
the papers which were opposed to the election of
MIR. Adams, with one or two exceptions. This is
a glorious comment upon institutions and will
go farther towards convincing the sceptcs of Eu
rope, that people may govern Themselves, than all
the calculations of specialized politicians. The
fact is before the world and its influence is deeply
and effectually operating.-U. $. Ga1ette.
