FROM EUROPE.
BY the arrival from London of the Packet Ship
Brighton, Captain Sebor, whence she sailed on
the ist, and from Cowes on the I'd March, the Edi-
tors Of the Morning Courier have received their
regular files oil London papers 10 the evening of
the LIST March inclusive, and Lloyd's List oil the
ooh.
We give below, without comment, the news
from Constantinople. As have been daily an
ticipatng the crisis which has at length arrived
we are not taken by surprise, nor will we be call
ed upon TO defend ourselves for having :. hum
bhgged the Public"
1t viii be recollected that the Manifesto was not
generally considered declaration of war. The
to!ioHing Is an extract from the Courier of the
18th February:
fhe question seems no Ion ger doubtful, and the
public has been prepared for some days for the re-
suit On " ednesday, announced the change
III the policy OF the Porte. On Friday, we stated
that the question OF peace or rested with her.
On Saturday, we expressed opinion, derived
from the previous accounts that the hopes OF peace
were but feeble indeed. To-day we publish at
fun length from the Bloniteur, the Manifesto of
the Ottoman Porte.
There is nothing doubtful or measured in this
documcnt-it leaves nothing to Nego,ia,ion-it
speaks language which cannot be Inis,inder-
sood-it breathes defiance, and cellar es war a.
gainst the Allied Powers
The questions heretofore raised as to the authen-
ucity OF the document settled.
From tie Globe Of 2Sfh February.
The Turkey mail arrived this morning bring
ing dates from Cons'antnoplc to the 9th, and
OF Smyrna to The 18th ult. The manifesto, in
substance, is fully confirmed; there is only one o.
rginal copy in town, and il was Immediately for
warded TO his Maj:sty's Ministers by the gentle
man by whom it received We understand
1t IS IN substance the same as the one published
IN the French papers. 1t is dated 2Ith OF Dec.
and had been transmitted privately TO the
Suitans AsIatic subjects; and il ouly by in
teligence frem Asia that the existence
oil the document first TRANSFERRED at CONSTANT
nople II had produced some sensation among the
FranAs, particularly as preparations for were
carried on with tine greatest energy. The numbers
OF troops coming from Asia TO the Turkish capital
was already OF some magnitude The English
merchants appear more alarmed than usual, az
they say the energy with which the troops have
been silently raised, evinces the determined
manner in which the Turk means to resist the
European Powers, and that nothing is now cal
culated upon but In the mean time every
thing was tranquil, and the Turkish police most
strict. The Franks, however, were leaving Con-
stanunople. AT Smyrna the alarm was not so
great, as there were several vessel of war in the
bay, and none OF the merchants were embaIking.
The corn vessels at Constantinople were all un-
loaded aud paid for. The taliow ships were still
under embargo. The Skylark, with 900 bales of
silk, had arrived at Smyrna from Constantinople
In addition to the above intelligence there is
report circulated in the city, on the authority (it
IS aiiedged) of accounts from Turkey nine DAYS
later than the mall that dreadful excesses rad
and OK persons lately under the protection ofthe
RlsStGilS, had been PIT to death, and that The
subjects Of France and England had also been
N-tTeated What foundation the statements rest
on we cannot yet a. uti But the spirit which
prevails at Constantinope gives reasonable ground
Tor experimenting some violence on the part Of the
hordes who must be on their passage through that
city.
From the Courier of 2Sth Feb.
The accounts from Constantinople are of the
26ih Jan. The Manifesto has been read in all
the Mosques, and the Bosplsorus has been closed
against ali the ships of all Christian nations. The
ganst the Americans. All efforts TO soften them
proved fruitless. The Austrian Minister, D'-
Ottsniels, made three demands, appealing to the
Treaty OF Carlowiiz, which place. the Catholics
under the protection OF Austria. The Refs Eg-
iendi refused to listen to them. The minds of the
people at Constantinope described TO be in
state OF the greatest exciement--and all modera-
ton snd judgment seem TO have been banishc1
from the Councils of the Diyan.
The iinprcs..,n which these events have made
upon the Russian Government cannot be known
for some days-they would soon reach the Rus
sian Authorities AZ Odessa, and the Russian Ar
mics on the Pruth. The Odessa letters would
leave but little hope of peace-and the last let
ters from Vienna, of the l7lh express their fears
that the Russian troops would Immediately cross
the Pruth. But such measure would we should
think, enanate from the Emperor himself-unless
his General on the Pruth has orders 10 commence
offensive operations as soon he receives inform
alton otany offensive act having been committed
by the Porte This is not considered, either here
at Paris, TO be improbable.
Such is the nature of the latest intelligence that
has arrived, which, though not official, appears
ia the principal parts OF it, to deserve credit.
W have received an express from Paris, with
the Gazette de France of 27ih of Feb The follow.
ing are extracts from the above paper:
BUcHAHEsT, Feb l.-ltis believed here that
Russia will at length Interfere with VigOr in the
affairs oil the East to the existence of the Chris
tan subjects dependent on the Porte. The Ottoman
army are uniting by degrees on the Danube, day
alter day detachmentS are arriving and the fortress
ses are filled with provisions. Commissaries have
arrived at Adranople, to prepare the Palace for the
Grand Signor. Gazette Of .Rugsb,srg.

Orders have been sent to Brest, to ann the Jean

Bearnaise; at Cherbourg, the corvette Egle; and at
Bayonne the brig Capricicuse.
There sail every day from Toulon ships Of war to
cruise IN the beyant Several frigates have also sail
ed for the same destination.
The following are extracts from German papers,
which arrived this morning. They do not comnu-
nicate any positive information to the affairs Of
the east; but the Impression in the north seems to be
that war is inevitable.
