FOREIGN News. The late adyices from Eu-
rope inform us that the Turkish Sultan had as
sumed more moderate and pacific tone, and
had appointed Commissioners to treat with the
Greeks on the terms of a pacifcation. Yet, it
is evident, that his principal object must be, as
1t heretofore has been when he has negotiated,
to gain time to complete his .warIike prepare
tons, because, the only conditions offered the
Greeks are such as have been repeatedly re-
Jected by them. A return to subsection has
ever been an indispensable condition with him,
and Is still persisted in, though, it is said, some
greater advantages than heretofore are offered
That the Greeks will now listen to terms,
which, in the time of their greatest depression,
were rejected, is not to be supposed The ut
most activity prevails on the part of the Turks
in making preparations, on large scale, for a
vigorous contest. On the other hand the Rus
sian armies are concentrating on the Turkish
frontiers in great force, and the other European
powers have been officially notified, that, if the
claims of the Russian Government were not
complied with prior to the 18th ult., her armies
would, on that day, enter the Turkish domin-
ions.
Tho remainder of the Turkish feet, after the
battle of Navarino, taking advantage of the alb
sence of the allied fleet, which had gone to
make repairs, sailed for Egypt, and has arriv-
cd at Alexandria, having on board .fire or sia
thousand Greeks of both sexes, whom they
have carried into slavery. The British Govern
laent have very promptly sent an agent to de-
mand their restoration, which, it is said, has
been promised They have also proposed to
the Pacha that in case of war, he should re-
main neutral, to which he delayed replying till
he should receive advices from Constantinople.
On the whole, we see no disposition in either
party to recede from the stand it has taken, in
order to preserve peace, and we believe that,
Gro long, hostilities must have commenced be-
tween them Whether the Turks, when they
find Russia determined to enforce her claims,
will yield, remains to be determined 1t is
our opinion that they will not without severe
struggle.
BosToN REPRESENTATIVES,. The Admins
tration union ticket for Representatives in Bos-
ton has been elected 1t received, on an aver
age, about 1000 votes, and the Jackson ticket
about 300. After the balloting commenced, it
was ascertained that portion of the Jackson
men were prepared with photographic votes, so
nearly resembling written ones as hardly to be
distinguished from them. AS the Constitution
expressly provides that " all the Representa-
tives shall be elected by aoritten votes" it was
by some thought doubtful whether these ought
to be received or rejected 1t was finally de-
termined to receive them, and make special
return, designating the number of such votes
and the persons for whom they were given.
The Patriot AYERS, what we should be unwilling
to believe without strong evidence, that it was
trick of the Jackson party, intended to destroy
the validity of the election, on the ground that
illegal votes were received and counted pro-
miscuously, and thus to deprive the city of its
representation the present year. Several of
the less discreet members of the party are said
70 have avowed that such was their intention,
since the deception was discovered
The names of the Boston delegation are an
nexed. Four of the editorial corps, viz Rus
sell of the Centinel, Wright of the Patriot,
Buckingham of the Galaxy and Courier, and
Child of the Journal, are members of it.

BANK RETURNS. The returns made by the
several banks of this State on the Sd inst, afford
indications of the extent to which the late ship.
ments of specie have been carried and suffi.
GENTLY account for the severe pressure for mon
ey, so universally felt 1t is probable that the
aggregate of the returns will show but little
moro than half the amount Of specie which they
had in December last. The sixteen bank.
in Boston which returned in December last
$l,l93,0OO, have now but $650,O0O. The diff
ference in the country banks, probably, wa.
not so large. At the late return, the Worcester
Bank had upwards of $4,000, Millbury BanA
$4,000, and Leicester Bank $4,000.
By late accounts from England, we learn thai
American Dollars had fallen there, about 2 pei
cent. in value, which will put stop to the ex
portation for the present. Considerable suns
Of specie have been received by recent arrivals
