New YoRK, May 6-The Packet ship Column
bia, Capt. Delano, from London has lust arrived.
Sailed April lst. The Editors Of the Commercial
| Adv have received from their attentive Correspon-
dent, London papers 10 the evening OF April lst in
elusive.
The long-expected mali from Constantinople
| which had been delayed by the badness Of the
weather, and the accumulation OF the waters of the
Danube, had reached Vienna. IL is oil the 18th of
Feb. "By this mail, says the Augsburg Gazette
''we learn that the Porte has returned TO o more
moderate disposition. Ii has granted the Greeks an
| armistce OF three months, and promised them an
amnesty if they will make their submission
This offer OF amnesty to the Greeks, on condition
OF their submitting To the Porte, will OF course a.
mount to nothing. II made previous TO the
Treaty Of the 9th of July, and the repetition Of
| the offer now proves fixed determination in the
Porte not to acknowledge the intervention OF the
Allied Powers.
| 1t is doubtless true, tina, preparations for war
were prose cuted at Constaninople with great
vigor as ever; and the Globe and Traveller asserts
that, with the writers OF great majority of the let
tiers brought by the last mail fl ON Constantine
| pie, no doubt OF immediate hostilies between the
| Porte and Russia was entertained The Globe
adds
"Tho Turkish forces are to be formed in two
grand divisions, of which is to assemble at A
dranope, the other in the environs OF Constantine
pie. The proclamation Of war had NOT been issued,
but 1t was Immediately expected to be read in the
Mosques. The hordes OF Asiatcs arriving daily
| reported to he very numerous; they mostly
composed OF young men, without any discipline.
Several OF the merchants who obtained leave 10
main in Turkey are departing, and they write in
the most despondiDg tone il Is, however, proper TO
state, that one eminent merchant in the city has
| advices which say, "The Divan have had several
meetings lately, and Turkey has now adopted
more moderate policy; and every thing remains
tranquil here"
The report of the Dardanelles being closed to all
flags, is without foundation. Three vessels have
| lately sailed from Constantinople.
In the House OF Commons, on the oath of March,
Sir X. wilson, on the House going into Com
mittee OF Supply, put some questions TO MIR. Peel,
with view to ascertain the intention OF ministers
respecting Greece.
Mr.. Peel answered that there no intention
on the part OF his Majesty to withdraw from the
treaty OF the 9th of July, and that further in
formation OF any declaration OF war act of hos
tity by Russia, had reached this country; that
orders had been given, before the battle of Nava-
rino, and since, TO blockade all parts of the Mo-
rea that are occupied by the Turks; that any 9TH
er attempt to carry away any part of the Greek
population, to make slaves of them, would be re-
sisted to the utmost by the English Govern
ment.
In the House Of Lords, on the 25th, in reply
to some questions but by Earl Grey, the Earl of
Dudley stated that g the intentions ed
on the part OF Russia have much diminished the
chance fof~he maintenance of peace between
that Power and tie Porte" There is considera-
BILE discrepancy between this reply and that OF
MIR. Peel But
ne journal Oh St. HeterSDurGh, OF the lltl OF
March had been received, which contains two i'm
portant articles: the first being the declaration OF
the Emperors opinion upon the memorable man.
ifesto OF the Porte. 1t expresses, in strong Ian
suagc, the regret of Russia at that manifesto and
her determination TO require a complete and speedy
repatriation Tor all the wrongs which Russia has sulr
Tered at the hands of the Sultan, while she, al
the same time, prosecues with her allies the ne
gonations consequent upou the Treaty of Lon
don. She will conform to that treaty to the very
letter, In all that concerns its spirit and execution
while she will dnd single handed, by the
aid OF Providence, to obtain indispensable repara-
ton Tor her injuries. The declaration of the Divan
that they never intended TO execute the stipuIa-
tons OF the treaty of Akerman, has caused great
and just Indignation.
The other article refers to the progress of the
Russian arms against the Persians, and the speedy
submission of the Schah.
The accounts from Smyrna are only to the
10Th OF February They state that the French
Admiral had ordered all the French merchants to
4 depart. The Europeans had paid little attention
to this advice; but they had been greatly alarmed
by the Pacha, who acquainted the most eminent OF
the merchants OF the late events, and that the pro-
clamation (the HAITI Scheriff) expected to be
read in the different mosques; and as he had pletg.
Ell his word for the safety Of the Europeans he had
now to advise their departure, as he might no lor,
ger be enabled to ensure their safety; that orders
might arrive from the Sultan, over which he might
have control. In consequence of this friendly
warning, many of the European residents immedi-
ately left Smyrna.
