INTELLIGENCE.
FOREIGN NEWS.

LONDON, Feb. IS. The latest accounts
from Constantinople, are of the Goth Janu-
ary-from Smyrna Of the 19th-from Alex
andria Of the Both December-from Odessa
OF the 9Th February-and from Vienna Of
the 18th February.
The general tone and complexion of the
intelligence from every one of these places.
continues to be gloomy. Some were at first
disposed to doubt the genuineness of the
Ottoman Manifesto, but the Paris papers
inform us that it was received by the French
government on the 18th.
The accounts from Constantinople saw
that the Manifesto has been read in all the
Mosques, and the Bosphorus has been clos
ed against the ships of all Christian nations.
The most rigorous measures continue to be
adopted against the Armenians. All efforts
to soften them have proved fruitless. The
Austrian Minister, d'Ottenfels, made three
demands, appealing to the treaty of Carlow
ltz, which places the Catholics under the
protection of Austria The Refs Effendi
refused to listen to them. The minds of
the people at Constantinople are described
to be in state of the greatest excitement
and all moderation and Judgment seem
to have been banished from the Councils of
the Divan.
The impression which these events have
made upon the Russian government cannot
be known for some days-they would soon
reach the Russian Authorities mt Odessa.
and the Russian armies on the Pruth. The
Odessa letters would leave us but little
hope of peace--and the last letters from
Vienna, Of the 18th, express their fears that
the Russian troops would Immediately cross
the Pruth.
LONDON, Feb 90. The genuineness Of
the Proclamation, or Manifesto issued nv tho
Ottoman Porte, appears now to be fully CON
lirmed, as emanatlng from the hostile dis
position of the Sultan, who seems ~ bave
decided IN favor of war, with the same de-
termined spirit which guided his conduct
against the Janissaries. He is evidently
aware OF the magnitude of the perils which
he Willingly lncurs, and seems prepared TO
meet the worst Though he calls upon the
whole Mussulman world to Use in arms, and
contend Tor It's European possessions, he an
tlcipat.es the probability of bis being driven
out OF Europe, and is already building a
palace surrounded with ramparts on the
Asatic coast, to entrench himself within

LoNDoN, March l. The Porte has con-
Quoted It's proceedings with the utmost pre-
caution and skill. It's famous Manifesto was
dated as early as>the Goth December and
was circulated throughout Asia Minor be-
! fore it was promulgated at Constantnople.
Its style and spirit is said to have put large
bodies of Asiatics on their march and to
have excited all ranks in the cause of the
Sultan. At the last regular dates, however,
the Aslatlcs had not arrived in the capital !;
which continued tranquil and orderly, al
though busy in preparing for war. The
corn vessels which had been detained had
all been honorably paid for; and orders had
been sent to close the Dardanelles to the en-
tlance of the three Powers.
Later Stock Exchange reports, however.
| announce, that the Proclamation of the Sui
tan to the male population of his Empire, to
rally under the STANDARD of Mahomet, had
brought large hordes efAsiatics to the capi-
tai, and that they had committed the most
horrld excuses that all the Russian resi-
dents, including the Imperial banker had
been mastered, and the other Franks had
been sent to the Seven Towers, to protect
them from the popular fury and that all

for eight days.

but feel bound to declare, that never have
before heard it suggested, that frauds were
practised in the Importation of coarse WOOL
The gentleman says, that the manufacturers
who make fine goods, import this kind OF wool,
and it must have escaped his recollection, or |
am sure his eandor would have induced him to
say, also that ii for the sole purpose of list
ings and headings, and not to work into the

ing from importing unwashed wool, OF quail
ty, when assorted, that might be worked into
fine goods
did not hear the gentleman state the fact
as to the use made of the coarse wool, or
should not have adverted to it. The gentle
man, as further evidence to sustain this posi-
ton, alleges, that the quantity of this wool im-
( ported, has greatly increased, while the manu-
features have not increased. As to the latteT
( fact the gentleman is surely mistaken; the
4 business of manufacturing these coarse goods
I has greatly increased. The Canton establish.

ally, and manufactures none but extremely
coarse goods, such as the gentlemen would ad-
init might be fairly considered as made OF tho
very coarsest wool The last year has been a
large importing season of this article, and yet
the whole amount, setting it at eight cents a
pound, is estimated by the gentleman from
} Pennsylvania at little more than 100000
pounds, When we take into consideration the
fact that there are many establishments, besides
that at Canton, engaged in the manufacture Of
the coarsest goods the quantity furnishes little
reason for believing that any frauds have been

In order to understand the effect of this min
imum, which proposes that all woollens, costing
over fifty cents the square yard, and less than
one dollar, shall be estimated at one dollar, and
pay duty of forty cents the square yard, let u:
compare its operation with the present ineffectu

Colby who was boarder with Mrs. JEFF

went there, but she was absent. Mrs. J..
shortly afterwards returned, accompanied
by Mrs. Burrill, one of her neighbours.
Hartman Immediately made known his
business to Mrs. LETTERS, and she agreed
to board him. Remaining short time
in the house, and observing some disor-
derby conduct of Colby, he concluded not
to become a boarder there, remarking
that he would rather live in hornets

Mrs. LETTERS, saying she was afraid to re-
main with Colby, went with her. Harri-

forwards, Colby came out of the house,
went to wood-pile, selected stick about
four feet long, and pursued Hartman,
who, observing the club, asked the reason
of his carrying it. Colby said he took it

with this answer, requested him to drop

SO large walking stick. Colby told
Hartman, that it was none of his business
that he would carry whatever he pleas
ed, and urged him to go along, saying at
the same time, he knew what to do with
the club. After they had proceeded
about eighty rods from the house, the wo-
men hearing groans, looked round, and
saw Hartman few steps behind them,
with his hands on his face, and Colby in
the act of striking him. The women in
stantly called for help. Meantime, Colby
struck Hartman several times with the
club, dragged him some distance, laid his
head upon stone, and with another stone,
literally pounded it to pieces, so that his
brains and pieces of his scull we're scat
tered around, to the distance of several
feet.
Colby is about as years of age. Mr..
