sailed on the lat, aud from Cowes on the
Cd March, the Editors ofthe Morning Cou.
rier have received their regular files OF
London papers to the evening Of the lst
March inclusive and Lloyd'sllst the 29th.
We give below, without comment the
news from Constantinople. As we have
been daily anticipating the crisis, which
has at length arrived, we are not taken by
surprise, nor will we be called upon TO de
ferd ourselves for having" huinbugged the
public"
Il will be recollccted that the Manifesto
was not generally considered a declaration
of war The following il an extract from
thn Courier of the 25,h February.
The question seems no longer doubtful
and the public has been prepared for some
DAYS for the result. On Wednesday, VIC
announced the change in the policy of the
Porte 2a Edsy Hd Ms a"a opnon hS de e'
rived from the previous accounts, that the
hopes Of peace were but feeble indeed
Today we publish at full length, from the
Moniieur, the Manifesto Of the Ottoman
Pore.
There is nothing doubtful or measured
in this ducument--it leaves nothing to
negotatlon--it speaks language, which
cannot be misunderstood lit breathes de-
fiance, and declares war against the Allied
Powers.
The questions heretofore raised as to the
authenticity oithe document, are now set
tied.
From the Globe Of 23,h February.
The Turkey mai! arrived this morning,
bringing dates from Constantinoplc to the
9Th, and from Smyrna to the 10Th ult -
The Manifesto, in substance, is fully con
firmed there is only one original copy in
town, and it was Immediately forwarded TO
his Majesty's Ministers by the gentleman
by whom It WIS received. We understand
il il in substance the same as the one pub
lished in the French papers. II is dated
2Oth Of Dec. and had been transmitted pr
vatcly to rouse the Sultan's Asiatic sub.
jccts and it was only by intelligence from
Asia that the existence Of the document
first & sanspired ut Constantuoplc. 1t had
produced some sensation among the cFranks,
particularly as the preparations for war
carried on with the greatest energy. The
numbers of troops coming from Asia were
very great, and Turkish capital was already
Of some magnitude English mer-
they say the energy with which the troops
have been silently rsised, evipces the de.
termincd manner in which the Turk means
to resist the European Powers, and that
nothing is now calculated upon but war.
In tho mean time every thing was tranquil,
and the Turkish police most strict. The
Franks, however, were leaving Constant
nople. At Smyrna the alarm was not SO
great, as there were severa! vessels Of war
in the bay, and zone ofihe merchants were
embarkng
The corn vessels at Consta ntinople were
al unloadod and paid for The tallow
ships were still under embargo. The Sky
lark. with 300 bales of silk, had arrived at
Smvrna from Constantia0ple.
In addition to the above intelligence, |
there is a report circulated in the city, Oh
the authority Gt is alleged) Of accounts
from Turkey nine days later than the mail, |
that dreadful excuses had taken place in
Constnntinople that every Russian, and
all persons lately under the protection of
the Russians, had been put to death, and
that tho subjects Of France and England
had also been llltreated. What founda
sop the state u,ent rests on we cannot yet
ascertain. But the spirit which prevails
at Constantinople gives reasonable ground
for apprehending some violence on the
part Of the hordes who must be on their
passage through that city.
From the Courier of2Sth Feb.
The accounts from Constantinople are of
the Goth January. The Manifesto has been
read in all the mosques, and the Rosphorus
closed against all the ships Of all Christian
nations. The most rigorous measures con- !
.inue to be adopted against the Armen
ians. All efforts to soften them proved |
fiuitess. The Austrian Minister, DOT.
rENrELs, made three demands, appealing |
to the treaty of Carlowitz, which places the
Catholics under the protection of'Austria.
The Refs Effendi refused to listen To them. |
The minds of the people at Constantinople |
are described to be in a state of the great.
EST excitemcpt--and all moderation and
Judgment seem to have been banished
from The Councils Of the Divan.
The impression which these events have
made upon the Russian Government can
not he known for some days--they would
soon reach the Russian Authorities at o.
dessa, and the Russian Armies on the
Pruth. The Odessa letters would leave
us bat little hone Of peace--and the last
letters from Vienna, of the 18th, express
their fears that the Russian troops would |
cross the Pruth. But such a
Inea ,ure would. we should think, emanate
from the I'm ,"ror himself unless his Gen.
rr, on the ruth has orders to commence |
offensive operations A. soon "a he receives
information ofany offensive acthaving been
committed by the Porte. This is not con-
sidcred. either here or at Paris, to be i'm
probable.
Snch is the nature Of the latest intelli.
gcnce that has arrived, which, though not
oilirlal appears, in the principal parts Of it,
