By the fast sailing packet ship William Thomp-
SON from Liverpool, whence she sailed on the 18th
March, we have received our London files to the
10th. From the extracts which we make from the
Observer OF the 10Th, it will be seen that the ques
ton of war or peace in Europe, s no longer doubt
ful-bu that Russia has issued her declaration
against Turkey.
iSuaday, March 16.--On Tuesday night the Rus
sian Ambassador received dispatches from his Court
containing the Emperor's declaration OF war against
Turkey, and which immediately communicated
by his Excellency to the Duke of Wellington and
to the Earl Of Dudley who sent intelligence OF the
event to his Majesty. The Emperor justifes the
Declaration Of War on the ground of Turkey hay
ing violated the Treaty OF Alderman, and upon that
hostililies. To these are added the closing of the
Bosphorls against the trade of Odessa.
1t is supposed that the Russians have already
| crossed the Pruth though the French papers pre-
tend TO believe that they will not cross 1t until the
| 18th proximo. In the meantime, the Turks
once more resortng to system of evasion and pro-
crastination. The Refs Etfendi has declared his
regret and sorrow at the publication of the Mani
festo, and protests that of the most offensive
passages in it positive forgeries, whilst others
have beer misinterpreed by the Allies. The Greeks
have put forth manifesto, in which they lay claim
to northern line of demarcation, almost the same
with what pointed out months ago. This would
include all the ancient Greca Borealis, with Thes-
sally and Epirus, to the confines of Macedonia.
Probably the people Of Eprus too much alien
ated f.Jm the Greeks to form any integral part OF
their kingdom, and the new division had better not
contain more than the ancient Acarnania and Htoa,
the line running n. f., and including Locris, Pho
els, Doris, and Thessaly. The French troops have
not yet left Touon, any English troops en-
barkcd for Greece. The use of such an arma-
ment cannot be TO oppose the Turks; it Can
be meant only to overawe the factious chiefs
and lawless Heterogeneous masses which compose
the Greek population. Another week may bring US
more decisive news as to the Russian movements
but it is impossible that the Emperor have ven.
tured upon deviation from the Treaty of July,
without secret understanding with Austria for, il
Russia were an equal match for this power and Tur
key combined, it is obvious that England and France
or either could turn the balance against her. Ii
appears that about 6 of our sloops of war escap
ed unhurt from the battle of Nayarino, and grea
complaints have been made that they were not EN-
ployed to prevent the escape ofthe Turkish vessels
that sailed to Egypt full of Greek slaves. Franc,
has not less than thirty fve ships of war employed
against Agiers, and it is thought that the blockade
of that city has made the Algerines very desirou
of peace
a We have great satisfaction in being able to state
' that his Majesty is in the enjoyment of most excel
: lent health. Sir Henry Haliord has seen the Kin
f within these two days, when he said that he neve
' found his Majesty the enjoyment of better healt
b than at this time.
