SIXTEEN DAYS LATER FROM ENG.
LAND.
The Packet Ship William Thompson,
Captain Maxwell, arrived yesterday from
Liverpool, bringing rs our regular files OF
London and Liverpool papers the former
to 10th andthe latter TO 18th March nclu-
sivc--together with Ednburg and Glas-
gov Of 18th and papers Of 18th idem, and
Loyd's and Shipping Lists III course. The
most important intelligence by the VIII
Liam Thompson, is the statement copied
below from the London Atlas of the 10th
March, by which it appears that the EN-
pcror Nicholas had regarded the Mani
fcsto of the Ottoman Porte published by
Us 9th April,) as Declaration of War, had
ordered the concentration of the different
corps oCthc Russian 2rmy on he Pruth,
and also informs that that river would prob
ably be passed on or before the 7th of
March. Next in importance Is the "erplG-
nation," by the French minister Of For.
eign Affairs. on which we have elsewhere
remarked. Thus the anticipations express
sed repeatedly in the Telegraph, that Rus
sa would proceed to oxtrcmities, are fully
realized, and that government confirms the
opinion long held by those who were not
dupcd by the assu ned title of Holy, adopt
ed by the Allies in 1914, that its policy will
not be ruled by allies, holy or unholy, for
she cannot cross the Pruth without di-
rect and palpable violation OF her treaty
with G.. Britain and France. Her object
is conquest, and as hitherto observed, the
conquest Of Persia particularly, has been
favorite project since the days Of Catha-
rine. We do not belong to tha, class who
believe IN an easy triumph over the Sultan,
who appears to have been long preparing
himself for this crisis. The accounts Of
the distress already felt by tho southern
provinces of Russia, by the closing Of the
Bo,phorus aud other measures of the Sui.
tan, induce us to believe that he who has
been able TO sustain selfagainst his ow
subjects, and to introduce European tactics
agninst the prejudlces of the Turks who
has according to the French document a.
bovc avertcd to, amused and deceived the
shrewdest European Statesman of the day;
who has held the Morea. and most of the
Greek Islands in despite Of all the force
that could be brought against him: whose
navy is so well fitted and managed that in
lien of his fleet having been annlhllated at
Navarlno 15 sail are said to have arrived
at AleXandris in good condition, is to be
easily overcome I'VE repeat, we do not
believe that tho ambition of Russia will be
speedily gratlhed, and we do believe that
her conduct in attacking the Porte, will be
promptly resented by England and France.
In other words, we have no doubt Of a gen.
eral arm Europe, of a character more
violent and sanguinary than any which has
occurred within the past century. The
auotaton from the Atlas does not say in
terms, that the dispatches received by the
Russian Minister at London, do or do not
contain declaration Of war by the Empe.
ror Nicholas; but in the following extract
from the Observer of 18th March, the fact
is positively assorted that the dispatches
contained /" Declaration Of Uar against
Turkey"
On Tuesday night the Russian Anbas.
sador eceveddespatches from his Court,
containing the Emperor's declaration of
war against Turkey, and which was imme-
diately communicated by his excellcncy to
the Duke of Wellington, and TO the Earl
Of Dudley who sent Intelligence of the c.
vent to his Majesty. The Emperor justi-
fies the Declaration Of War on the ground
OF Turkey having violated the Treaty OF
Ackermau, and upon that Other having ex-
cited the Porsians 10 their recent HOSTILE
ties. To these Is added, the closing ofthe
Bosphorus against the trade Of Odessa.

A Russian minister and French one
arrived ths morning. A cabinet council
was held TO day, and was sitting when our
pnuor went to press. There was as was
