BY the packet ship Birmingham, Capt. Har.

Of London papers to the 9TH Of January, and

The question as to the departure of the Al

extraordinary Council had been held, the
Porte renewed its refusal to accept Of the in

The London New Times. Of Jan 9TH, holds
tho following language:" The affairs Of the
East, so far at least as the private letters
which have reached town since our last and
the notices in the Foreign Journals enable us
to Judge, continue in the same state. The

when he found that he must acquiesco,or break
with the Allies, he would choose the former
as the least evil /; but his suffering them to de-

for. We are now more than ever convinced
Of the truth Of an observation made by one Of
the Diplomatists, that nothing but good
drubbing would bring him TO his scLses."
We quote the following passage from the
British Traveller ofthe 5th January: The
intelligence from Turkey is simply con6rma-
tory of the tone Of defiance breathed forth in
the deliberations of the Divan. Whether the
Porte, in the event Of an open rupture, will
come off scatheless from the conflict, with its
beleaguers, which il proved so determined to
provoke, is a question that would puzzle no
conjurer TO decide its own has been the fault
Its own be the consequences. One distin-
guished trait which has all along-snce the

them to the desperation of resentment. The
