prove how general the Impression Is OF ap-
preaching Wharf.-The din Of warlike prepare
tons sounds in the North All the accounts
to-day wear hostile aspect. The Car seems
resolved on war, and is arranging his immense
strength, naval & military, for an assault on the
sinking empire Of the Ouomans. Admiral
Greig, who commands in chief the f1eets Of Rus
STA, has been ordered to st. Petersburgh to re-
port the condition Of the naval forces, and pre-.
pare for hostilities in the Black Sea. The ar
mics of Sac hin and Witgenstein in Bessarabia,
are said also to be in motion, The Russian
bordes are said TO be concentrating for the
march, and taking up advanced positions in
front of the Pruth. The Duke OF Wellington
is said to have used every argument against
this tremendous war, but in vain. No diDlo-
macy could avert this storm which seems rea-
dy to burst on the south of Europe in unmiti-
gated fury"
The letter we publish from London Of the
18th, is still more explicit and explanatory
The late Bishop Of Durham, whose death
has been announced in our paper, has been Sue
ceeded by Dr. Van Mildert, the Bishop of Lam
daft
The bishoprick Of Durham is, we believe, the
richest in England and probably in the world.
TO the representatives therefore Of the. late in
cumbent, it became, as would appear by the
annexed paragraph from the Times, OF immense
Importance that the dying beneficiary should
continue to breathe, few minutes after the
midnight hour of the last day Of the half year.
1t is stated that the decease of the late Bish-
op of Durham occurring after 10 O'Clock, that is
on the morning Of the 25th ult being quarter
dav, has given his representatives the emolu-
men,s of one half year, which would not have
been the case had he died before 10 the prece-

Extract of a letter from London, dated April 1lth
"Matters are going on smoothly here. Ever
the monied affairs are returning to their accus
toned regularity Ministers are strong and
popular, and not little elated at the success oil
their new principles OF free trade. TIE return
of the Duke Of Wellington is anxiousiy expect
ed. 1t is supposed he left ST. Petersburg i'm
mediately after the funeral of Alexander. Ifso
he is now on his way. His experience and sa
gacity will have enabled him to Judge Of TIT
condition of Russia, which is here thought Il
be one Of great difficulty. | heard from TIT
best authority, that more than fourteen thou
sand persons were under arrest, some Of then
OF the nobest and best families in Russia. NJ
executions have yet taken place. A fact, thai
evinces most strongly the difficulty of the con
iuncture. This hesitation proves, though ii i:
attempted TO be concealed, the extent of the de
fiction, and the alarm caused by the high char
acter of the persons connected with it. 10 par

the only remedy for the fire that surround
him. When the Preiorian bands are masters
the law they prescribe must be obeyed-wl!tf
Turkey therefore must war in all probabillt
be made. Cons,antnople may be pillaged an

seems TO have infected all classes-rxt"nd tn
limits of the empire-and preserve for the pre-
sen, the Imperial throne.
The Holy Alliance, and above all, Englan
will not see this without apprehension and Iea
lousy: but in what way they can avert, or sue
cessfully oppose the war, it is not easy to per
ceive. The King has lately been severely a,
tackled with fever and sonoe inilammatory symp

himself much in retirement al windsor, but
