mentS have actually reached IoulOn, where
ships were ready, and every preparation made
for immediate embarkation. The amount of
the troops is stated TO be 10000 men. The
French Adiniral's squadron will be strongly re-.
inforced Ours may also be reinforced but
the report Of its being the intention of govern
ment to send all the British troops in Portugal
to the Morea, is incorrect. Nor do we think
that the pacification of Greece, and the giving
her a qualified independence, will require
great military force. Turkey will norbe able to
spare large lard force for operations in Greece.
Her whole direction must be directed to the
Danube besides the Russian squadron in the
Mediterranean will, most probably be employed
in operations ON the coast of Anatolia, and thus
occupy the attention of the Turks in that
quarter.
! PARIS, March 49, The news which has been
received to day from ST. Petersburg, iustifes
the apprehensiOns which were naturally con-
lceived on the effect which the Turkish NANTES
to would excite in that capital. This document
D., by whatever name il may have been called, has
been considered by the Russian Cabinet as
real declaration of war, with the more reason
as repeated acts of hostility accompanied the
publication OF 1t. The Bosphorus entirely clos

was on the point of concluding with Persia

of complaint did not permit Russia again to re-
fuse defiance so boldly offered to its power
and its moderation. We must, therefore, ex.

commence its march on the 18th of April
1t is still difficult to- foresee what may be the
consequences, with respect to the treaty of the
9th of July, of a determination which the provo

seem to render more peculiar to Russia The

circumstances, more imperious than unforeseen

The same letters announce that the treaty be-

and that hostlllties were going to re-commente.
The Russian army, at the moment of passing
the Pruth, is abundantly supplied with al
necessary resources.

New YoRK, April g.
From COLOMBIA. The'packet BRIG Me-
dina, Capt. Shipman, arrived here YESTERDAY
in q days from Carthagena. We are IL
debted to passenger for the following ir-
teresting sketch of affairs in that quarter:
On the fourth of March, Gen. Padilla Sc.
J cretiy armed about 1000 citizens of Cartha.
gena, tor purposes unknown to the principal
inhabitants, which excited the most lively
) feelings Of apprehension. During the night.
: about 800 troops, stationed in the city, left
1t, with officers, for Turhaceo, about 10
miles distant from Carthagena, where Gen.
Montillo, an officer of great distinction and
influence, resided. On the 9TH, information
was received that Gen. Montilo held a
4 secret order Of President Bolivar's to take
/; command of that department whenever it
} should be necessary for promoting the pub
nc good. Gen. Padilla refused to receive
him as the commanding officer, and made
every eXertlon to put the city in state of
defence, by armlng all the inhabitants.
Most OF the American and English ladies'
embarked on board the American and En-
glish packets, and the foreigners obtained
arms, and placed their houses in the best
state OF defence, fearing general plumber.
-FOUR gunboats, with troops were dispatched
by zen. Padllla to take possession of the
J fortress OF Boca Chica, which commands
the harbour Of Carthagena. The officer in
charge OF this fortress was fortunately the
friend OF Montillo. and refused to surrender.
Padllla, finding Gen. Montillo in command
OF the harbor, and an army at the gates of
the city, viewed his situation so extremely
critical as to induce him to leave Carthage
ma during the night. On Sunday morning.
three Of Padilla's soldiers were shot by
Montillo. Inthe evening. Gen. NJ. arrived.
