FROM TURKEY.

Ine DflS AutuInO, apts 4uTuOCS WulCu uT" rived at New York on Saturday, sailed from Samos on the 18th of April Previous to leaving that port, letters from Smyrna to the 18th of April were received there. in. which it was stated that commercial affairs were in very distressed state, in consequence of the seizure by order of the Sultan, of all camels bringing produce to market, for the purpose of conveying grain to Constantinople. When the calnels were seized, they were irnmedi- ately unladen, and the produce left on the road exposed to the weather. It was expected, however, that these arbitrary proceedings would not be oflong continuance when busi- ness would revive. Upwards of 10000 cam els were employed in carrying grain to the capital. These measures on the part of the Sultan left tue Turks in the interior entirely destitute of colonial produce, such as coffee, sugar, &c. te,v
 The latest accounts from Constantinople represent the Sultan us very determined and resolute. He had assumed his military cos tune, and walked the street the same as an European General. frman had recently been received in Smyrna from the capital for bidding the Turks wearing all articles of lux ury, such as furs, cashmere shawls, &c. On its receipt the Pasha was the first to observe obedience to the order of the Sultan, by dis carding his turban, and substituting common red cap As he was in delicate health, his physician advised him to wear something be- sides his cap, as he might take cold, but he resolutely refused, saying that it was the will of the Sultan, which must and should be obey ed. All the Turkish nobility had followed the example of the Pasha.
 It was reported at Smyrna that the Russians were making rapid advances towards the cap ital, but the rumor was not credited, and no fears were entertained of their being able to reach Constantinople. The present force of the Turks is represented as being much great CT than is generally supposed.
 A letter from Constantinople states that there are at least 8OO,O0O Mussulnans under arms in and about the capital, and in the event of the Russians making an attempt upon the city, they would meet with very warm reception. The greatest tranquility prevailed in the city, and the police was very effective,
 The Sultan had recently been on tour of inspection in an English steamboat, along the shores and down the coast to the Darda- nelles and Gallipoli He visited all the prin- cipal Notifications, and gave orders for cer- tain improvements. On his return he ex- pressed himself gratifed with the excursion, and sent the English captain a very hand some present of shawls, &c. as token ofre. gard.
 The Autumn sailed from Malta on the 29th of April, at which tune the English and French Ambassadors were daily expected from Naples, on their return to Constantino- pie, when, it was hoped, some satisfactory arr engagements would be effected.
 Letters from Malta, received by the Au- tumn, mention that the British squadron un- der Admiral Malcolm, had sailed for the Dar- danelles, with, as it was surmised, hostile in- tentions toward the Russians -Gdzette.
