Jan Not the slightest idea is entertained in that
Capital, of the march of the Russian Army on Tur-
key.
The Augsburg Gazette says, it is rumored that
the Allied Ministers will be invited 10 return from
Corfu to Constantinople. Ii does not, however,
youch for the truth of the runor. The general be-
liefis that the Turkish government have intimated
10 the Allied Powers greater willingness to ap-
Iroximate 10 the conditions laid down in the Treaty
of the 9th July.
- The last letters from Constantinople of Dec. q,
say, that that city was still tranquil, though great
military ornaments were making. Immense chains
were preparing TO close the entrance Of the Darda
nelles; thirteen ships OF the line and some rigates
fitting out at the arsena two ships of the line
and one rigate are already in the port, between To-
piano and the Seraglio; and the squadron of large
and small vessels is in the Dardanelles.
A letter from Corfu of IAN. s, says, Ibralim Pa
cha has now shown the intentions which he has
hong cherished. Ii seems that his secret instruc-
tions We're to send the inhabitants OF the Pelopon-
nesis to Egypt. He has collected the Greeks who
were in Castcl Tornese, those who have been con-
fined since the beginning OF the revolution in Coron
and Modon, and the others who have fallen into
his power, and has embarked the women and
children board two vessels, TO convey them to
Egypt W.,

Russia, and the Princess, were present.
We learn from the latest London papers, that
Lord .Cochrane stated that he has left Greece be-
Turkish ships, and his services in the navy were
no longer needed. He reached the Mother Bank
in his private schooner Unicorn, in % days from
p6ros The smaller vessels of the Greek navy
are cruizing against the pirates while the Hellas
frigatc and the corvettes have been laid up at fIy
dra. Those who take to piracy, he says, are dri-
ven to il by necessity, and regular government
: would put effectua stop to it. The Egyptians
had been fastening away from the Morea as fast as
they could possibly obtain transports. Soon after
the battle OF Navarino, they got all the vessels
they could, s. embarkedforty-five thousand men for
Egypt Only about eight thousand men remained
in the garrisons, and they were in most destitute
condition The shores of the Morea were strewed
with wrecks.

The new and fast sailing ship Salem, Captain
- Richardson's arrived last evening from Liverpool,
whence she sailed the 10th ult. BY this arri-
. val, the Editors of the Commercial .4duertiser
have received their regular files OF London and
Liverpool papers--the former to the 10th and the
latter to the goth.
But one important debate had occurred in the
House of Commons, III addition to those which we
noticed last evening. This debate arose the
evening of the 14th OF February on motion Of
Mr.. Hobhouse, for vote of thanks to Sir Edward
Coiringon, and the off GERS under him, for the
victory at Navarin. 1t Is thus summariy noticed
In the New Times.
Mr. Hobhouse supported bis motion by APP
peal to the precedents of Copenhagen and Algiers
which, especially the latter, he c6ntended were
cases strictly in point with that of Navarin. Mr..
Hobhouses motion was opposed by Mr.. Huskis-
son who denied that any analogy existed between

in many instances, with audible murmurs, and in
some with ill-repressed laughter. Sir James Mac
kintosh spoke at length on Mr.. Hobhouse 8 motion,
and was followed in q most able and temperate
speech by Mr.. Peel who, although he adopted
nearly the same line of argument the Colonial
Secretary, was frequently interrupted by the
cheers OF the House. Sir Francis Burdett follow

vowed by the Ministers, Messrs Huskisson and
Peel, that the Government, were determined to
carry into the strictest execution the Treaty of
the 9th Of July
Mr.. Hobhousc concluded the debate as follows:
After the declaration of the Right Hon. Gentle
man, do not feel myself called upon 10 trouble the
House at any length. am happy to find that in
the opinion Of the House have been guilty of no
indiscretion in bringing forward motion which
has elected such ali unmiXed expression of praise
and admiration of the Gallant Admiral. The
admission, by the Right Honorable Gentleman,
that he would have assented to my motion had
with which were at war, would of itself have
rendered it unnecessary for me to persevere in
my motion; but when the Right Honorable Gem
tleman declares that the character of Sir f.. Cod
rngton stands high that Of any officer in the
service, thus enabling me to attain the great OBJ
iect had in view, L should feel that | abused the
indulgence ofthe House, were l to occupy its at
tentiop for another moment. After that declara-
ton Of the Right Honorable Gentleman, cannot
but accede to the suggestion OF my Right Homo
rabie Friend, and shall, therefore, with the leave
Of the House withdraw my motion. (Hear, hear,
