LADIES' FAIR. A fair, for the sale of a
great variety of productions of female hands
was held in Boston last week, the proceeds
ofwhich are to be applied to the support Of
two Infant Schools, established in the city
under the patronage of two associations OF
ladies. The sale was well attended, and
the articles brought good prices. Some Of
the Boston papers seem inclined to ridicule
the system of infant schools which has just
been introduced there, and to laugh some-
what at the means which have been devised
for supporting it. But we are inclined to
think this may be among the good notions
of our city neighbours. Infant schools have
been found to be beneficial, where they have
been adopted, as sources of guardianship
and instruction to the children of the indus
trious poor. There are great many, par
ticularly in cities, who are compelled to
neglect their children in order to provide
for the subsistence of their families. By the
system of infant schools, children of such
parents may be gathered together and be
much better provided for, and more judi
ciously educated than in the nature of things
they can otherwise be. The experiment,
therefore, is worth trying, and it will be
time enough to ridicule and condemn it
when it shall fail.

| Paris March 13.--The news which has been re-
ceived to-day from st. Petersburg iusttes the APP
prehensoDs which were naturally conceived on the
effect which the Turkish manifesto would excite in
that capital. This document, by whatever name it
may be 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 it The Bosphorus entirely clos
ed against avigation--Russan vessels confiscated
the influence of the Porte easily recognized in
the rupture ola treaty which Russia the point
of concluding with Persa--the losses sustained by
Odessa, many causes Of complaint did not permit
Russia again to refuse defiance so boldly offered
: to its power and its moderation. We must there
FORE expect shortly to receive official notice Of the
passage of the Pruth by the Russian army, and
OF the occupation of the prIncipaties. 1t is affirm
ed that orders have been given for the army COM

ly, OF a determination which the pfovocations all
directly proceeding from the Porte seem to rendss
more peculiar to Russia. The conferences at Lon

Russian messenger and French arrived
this morning. cabinet council was held to-day,
and was sitting when paper went 10 press.
here are, as was TO be expected, various rumours
IN the city none Of them deserving any attention..
he week is closing upon us, and leaves us in state
OF great anxiety for the next arrivals from that
which, if not already become the seat of war, is
likely to become SO immediately The Russians,
alter crossing the Pruth are expected TO stretch
along the north bank Of the Danube, and thus pre-
vent the Turks from drawing supplies, OPP
pressing the inhabitants of Alollaya and Wallachia
The l urks will cOnhne themselves TO the southern
bank OF the Danube. Meanwhile a report prevails
and is circulated with great confidence that the Refs
Etiendi had, some time ago, but after the departure
OF the allied ambassadors, conference with the
ambassador of the Netherlands, in which he express
sed his regret at their departure particularly Mr..
Stratiord Cummings who might have been the chan
mel OF reopenng communication with Russia, and
OF whose return he very DESTROYS.
From the regret and surprise expressed by the
Porte at the manner in which its manifesto has been
viewed by foreign powers is inferred that The Divan
is inclined TO yield. But Russia would now exact
considerable sacrifices, particularly as, in addition
to the offensive manifesto, she charges Turkey with
having excited Persia to make war, and recently with
having instigated her TO refuse ratifying the treaty
oiPeace The letters from Vienna impnte the
cuct Of the Porte to the belief, that not only she
would be seconded by Persia in against Rus
STA, but that discord would dissolve the alliance be
tween Russia, Great Britain, and France.
In this situation, the week closes upon US. Rus
STA has taken her determination TO avenge her own
wrongs, and to make against Turkey upon her
account. And the first intelligence which the next
week will usher in, will probably the true passage
! of the Pruth.
! In the mean time, the intent ions of the allied
powers respecting Greece will he carried into eff
feet. France has determnated to send troops and
artillery; and the extracts we made yesterday fron4
the Paris papers informed us, that several regiments
had actually reached Toulon where ships were
ready, and every preparation made for immediate
embarkaon. The amount of the troops is stated to
be 10000 men. The French Admiral's squadron
will be strongly reinforced. Ours may also be re-
inforced but the report of its being the intention of
government to send all the British troops in Portu-
gal to the Morea, is Incorrect
Nor do we think that the pacicaton of Greece,
and the giving her qualified independence, will
require great military force. Turkey will not be
able to spare large land force for operations in
Greece. Her whole exertion must be directed to
: the Danube besides the Russian squadron in the
Mediterranean will most probably, be employed in
operations the coast OF Anatoa and thus occupy
the attention of the Turks in that quarter.
