LONDON, JAN. ~, 1929. We have a
Turkey mail this morning with dates from
ConstaDtinople of the Doth ultiino. The
letters state that the Treaty of Commerce
with the United States had been agreed
upon by the Sultan, and had excited a
great sensation among the European d.
pomatisls, which had been much increas-
ed by current rumour that an American
squadron would appear in the Archipela-
90 in the Spring. The Sultan was still at
his camp at RAMS Tschffilck, and troops
from Asia continued to arrive. aud were
exercised by the Sultan in person. The
Turkish government experienced some
want Of funds, but the Sultan had sum
moned the chief aud wealthiest men Of
Turkey TO his presence, aud invited them
TO appropriate some portion OF their pos
sessions in defence OF their faith aud coun-
iry. The Multi is said to have set a very
liberal example. The greatest silence was
still preserved as to events on the Morea,
but il was known the Refs EtieAdi had
declared that il the French attempted 10
penetrate'to Lavadia, declaration of war
would be issued by the Sultan. The con-
voys of provisions had been regularly or
ganized, and the capital was in conse-
quence fully supplied with provisions. All
warlike operations appear suspended, in
deed il is said that the snow on the from
tiers was four to five feet deep, and the
communication very difficult. The Rus
slams are said to have completed the FORTH
locations OF Varna as well as those Of Ba-
zardjik, Pravadi, Gebedschy, and Dooya.
The .Prussian Minister had invited the
Porte 10 send an Ambassador to Poros, to
treat of the paci6cation Of Greece, but
this had been declined. The greatest
tranquility prevailed at Constantinople.
The French mail this morning brings
adyices Of the first division Of the Army
having left the Morea on the 23d Decem-
Der. One of the vessels of the convoy
had already arrived at Msrseiiles. The
second division would depart from the
25th Jan. to the 18th Feb and the third
and last division would follow soon after
wards. The sudden departure of Prince
Polignac, the French Ambassador, from
this capital, and his arrival at Paris. is the
topick of conversation in both the capitals.
II is reported the object of his mission is
TO Obtain the sanction of his Government
to new Treaty between England, France
and Austria, relative to the existing state
Of things. Another report is, that a con-
templated change in the French Govern
ment, was the cause of his departure, and
that il is not impossible he may yet be
Minister of France. The Prince is de-
cidedly inclined to the English party, and
Of consequence opposed to that Of Rus
STA.
The most important rumour, and which
is thought TO rest upon some authority, is
that an Ambassador Pienipotentiary from
st. Petersburgh may be shortly expected
here with propositions from the Emper-
our, regarding the basis of Treaty with
Turkey. This parsonage is Count Mat
chagof, an aid de Camp of the Emper-
ours and shond this intelligence be cor
roborated by his arrival, there can be little
doubt that another campaign will not take
place.
We have this day accounts from Glib
raltar of as late date as the 9th inst.
The fever had entirely ceased, and the
inhabitants were engaged in fumigating
their houses. 1t would however be some
time ere trade resumed its former chan
mel.
The speech Of the French King at the
opening of the Chambers, which will be
delivered this day, is looked for with great
anxiety. 1t is understood that it will
agree much with that to be delivered by
our Sovereign at the opening of the SEES
sion of Parliament OH the 5th proximo.
1t is now placed beyond doubt that the
Duke of Northumberland has accepted the
vice royalty of Ireland. II is supposed
he will depart for.the seat Of his govern
ment about the 23d Feb.
Until yesterday we have had very in
tense frost, and the thermometer stood a,
