NEW YORK, June Z.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

The ship st. George arrived at this port
last evening from Liverpool. The Editors
of the Commercial Advertiser have receiv-
ed London papers of the 9Th ult. There is
no important intelligence. The substance
of the contents of these papers is annexed.
On the I'd May, the Bill for the repeal of
the Corporation and Test Acts, which had
been returned from the House of Lords
with some slight amendments, was taken up
in the House of Commons, and after few
explanations, the amendments were con-
cured in. The Bill now only wants the
Royal sanction to become law. The fol-
lowing is the test as nov required by the
bill, instead of the Sacramento Test

AFFAIRS OF THE EAST. The accounts
! from the North and East are of very pa.
cifc character, and the impression has
begun to prevail that hostilities will not
1 after all, take place between Russia anC
Turkey. The st. Petersburg Gazette o
the 18th April, makes no allusion whatever
| to the military preparations of Russia, mol
to the mtended departure of the Emperor
from his capital. The advices from the
] British Ambassador at Vienna represent
that the councils of the three Allied Pow
ers are again in accordance, with regard tc
the conduct to be pursued towards Turkey
| This does not go to the extent of assuring
us that Russia will not occupy the provinces
north of the Danube, but it at least show.
that the Emperor must have given positive
| pledge not to pursue hostilities for the pur.
pose of conquest.
The latest advices from Vienna are tc
the 25th of April, according to which nc
movement of the Russian troops had beer
made, and the hustle and alarm occasioned
by the warlike preparations of that power
had subsidized in the German capital
The London Courier places the fullest
reliance upon this view of the present state
of affairs, and adds the following, from the
Frankfort paper of April Goth lit is again
reported that the Cabinet of st. Petersburg
has assured the European Courts that its
military operations are by no means intend
ed with any view to an increase of territory,
but solely to induce the Porte to fulfil all the
! stipuldtions of the Treaty Of Alderman. II
hopes that the occupation of Moldavia and
| Wallachia will suffice to convince the Di-
van that Russia will never depart in the
{ smallest degree from her demands, and to
compel it in this manner to satisfy those de-
mands according to the Treaty. The Rus.
sian troops will then remain in their new
positions till either those demands are com
piled with, or it becomes evident that even
this measure is not sufficient to induce the
Porte to adopt another system.
! The leading French papers also hold the
same pacific tone.
GREEcE. There are extraordinary con-
tradictions between the accounts relative to
the Morea in the German and French
papers received in the English capital.
The former represent Ibrahm as making
preparations t@ evacuate the Morea in con-
sequence of the remonstrances of the Allied
Powers; the latter assure us that the time
allowed Ibrahim to evacuate the Morea
having elapsed, the Allied Fleets are to keen
the ports of Modon, Patras, and Navarin,
in the strictest blockade. Some troops
sent from Alexandria to reinforce Ibrahim,
appear to have proceeded no farther than
Gambia. Upon receiving information ofthe
difficulty Of landing troops in the Morea,
they are said to have returned to Alexan-
dria.
