SONG.
Oh, it is not for the laurel's sake
That SO love the lutte;
Were those green leaves its only meeG
For me its chords were mute.
But love to wake the song,
For il so we'll reveals.
With ever low and gentle tones
All that my spirit feels
Q tell me not that general praise
Sheds sun light on my name:
What has WomAn's fearful near
To do with aught like fame
But the one charm that makes my lutt
So very dear to me,
Is, that IT can breathe of love
And II can breathe to thee ! L. F.. L.

States held in this town by Judges Story and
Davis, the indictment against Alexander
Drew for murder. The homicide for which
this indictment was brought, was commit

Nantucket, of which Drew was master, off
the coast of Peru, on the LIST of September
last. The deceased, named Clark, was Sec
ond mate of the vessel, and was stabbed, by

INTELLIGENCE.
New YoaK, June ID.
FROM EUROPE.

The ship Pallas, Captain Brown, arrived
yesterday from Havre, with papers to May
9th, inclusive.
TURKISH AFFAIRS. By the latest dates
from ConstantinOple, the Sultan is as reso-
lutte as ever. A European agent had re-
auested the Refs Effendi to explain the
Hatti-Scherif of December 90, in sense
less offensive to Russia, but received for
answer that the language of the Porte in
the Manifesto was nothing but the truth,
and that any other language would be de-
rogatory to its dignity. This is plain speak
ing, after the threatening approach of the
Russian legions to the Turkish frontier.
The Sultan is represented as immoveable
in his resolution, although the grandees of
his empire are somewhat alarmed at the
aspect of affairs. 1t is said that the Pachas
new at Constantinople had petitioned the
Sultan to avoid war if possible, but he and
his Generals were preparing for battle, and
would not listen to them.
The account of the Pacha of Egypt hav-
ing ordered his son to evacuate the Morea,
is not confirmed; he has renewed bis as
surances of fidelity to the Sultan.
An article dated Paris, May, 8, says, that
the campaign is opened-that the Russian
army was to cross the Pruth on the 9th
April; that the operations were to COM
epee with be sfa ftsa IF that RE t6aagg 4 Was Gf e
issue proclamation, and at the same time
to address letter to the Grand Vizier,
containing his ultimatum.
The Sultan is constantly with his troops,
partaking the same food, and exercising
them continually. His favorite manpuvres
are the charge for his cavalry, and the at
tack, in column, for bis infantry.
News from Odessa, announced great ac-
tlvity in the military operations of the Rus
sian Army.

New YORK. June IA.


BY the packet ship Birmingham, from
Liverpool, whence she sailed on the 18th
of May, the Editors of the Commercial Adj
vertiser have received files Of English pa
pers to that date.
The Catholic Question was brought for
ward in the House of Commons, on the
evening of the 9Th ultimo, by Sir Francis
Burdett. The Baronet's opening speech &C.
cupies eight columns and half of close
print, in the Courier. He concluded bv
moving I" that the House resolve itself into
committee to consider the state of the
laws affecting his Majesty's Roman Catho-
lie subjects in Great Britain and Ireland
with view to such final and conciliatory
adjustment as may be conducive to the
peace and strength of the united Kingdom,
to the stability Of the protestant establish
ment, and to the general satisfaction and
concord of all classes of His Majesty's sub
Jects." The motion was seconded by Mr..
Brougham.
On the 9th, the debate was renewed.
and after several gentlemen had spoken, was
again adjourned over to the 10th. The
House is very full, and it is calculated that
the division will be very close.
The bill for the repeal of the Corporation
end end EaSfS acts has receiued the ROYAL as
Don Pedro of Portugal, is involving his
country every way. The Courier declares
that the Constitution is, in fact, abolished !:
the Regency has been DESTROYED and Don
miguel has, IN fact and in deed, if not in
words, assumed the crown.
AFFAIRS OF THE EAST. The news from
these regions continue of q warlike COM
plexion. Ere this the Russian armies are
supposed to have crossed the Pruth: but
there is not any certain intelligence of the
event having actually taken place.
The London Courier of May 9, SAYS, "The
accounts which arrived here yesterday from
Constantlnopie, have disappointed those
who have still chung to the hope that the
peace OF Europe might be preserved by the
adoption OF more moderate tone on the
part Of the Sultan. He is determined upon
war, and though he is acquainted with the
sentiments of the Allied Powers. he still
thinks that they will not suffer the Turkish
Empire tobe destroyed. To the knowledge
OF this determination we may probably i'm
pute the change which is rumored to have
taken place in the Emperor's plan of on
erations. 1t was supposed, that he would
in the first instance, content himself with
occupying the Principalities, and would not
cross the Danube. II is said
now, however, he will occupy the Principal-
tiles, and pass the Danube at the same time
pushing on towards Constantinople as
quickly as possible"
According to the German papers, the
Russian army that was in Persia, is to move
towards Ezerum, in.the Asiatic Dominions
