The Royal Mail Steam Ship Canada, CAPTAIN
STONE, from Liverpool, at P. NJ. on Saturday:
the 9th inst, with 100 through passengers, ar
rived here at 10 o'clock this morning, bring
ing advices one week later than those previous
ly received.
The COLLINS steam ship atlantic arrived
out at Liverpool at o'clock A. NJ, on We'd
nesday, the 9th inst.
The advices by this arrivaliare highly interes-
ting, and | accordingly furnish you somewhat
fuller synopsis than that forwarded by your Bal
timore Geographic correspondent The Car
has issued the following arrogant manifesto:
"By the grace Of God-We, Nicholas the
first, Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russias,
by our manifesto of the l4th of June of the
Tresent year, we informed our faithful and well
beloved sub ects of the motives which made it
incumbent on US to demand from the Ottoman
Porte, inviolable guarantees in favor of the sac
red orthodox church. We at the same time an
nounced to them that all our efforts to bring
the Porte, by means of amicable persuasion, 10
sentiments of equity, and to faithful observ.
Servance of treaties, had remained fruitless, and
that consequently, we deemed it indispensable to
order our troops to the Danube, but, adopting
that measure we still entertained the hope that
solve to give satisfaction to our Just acclama-
tions. Our expectations have been deceived
1t is i'll vain, also. that the Great Powers of Eu-
rope have endeavored by their exhortations to
shake the blind obstinacy of the Ottomon gov
eminent 1t is by declaration of war by a
proclamation replete with fatal accusations a.
gainst Russia, that it replied to the pacific eff
forts of Europe, to our forbearance, finally en-
tha mic of ho 1utio
lists Of ali countries. The Porte has com
menced hostilties on the Danmhe--Russia is
provoked to the combat-no other means is
left than recourse to arms, to compel the OF
toman Government to respect treaties, and to
obtain from it the reparation for the offences by
which it responded to our most moderate de-
mands and to our legitimate solicitude for the
defence of the orthodox faith in the East, which
is also the religion of the Russian people. We
are firmly convinced that ur faithful subjects
will join in the fervent prayer which we address
ed to the Most High-that he may deign to
bless our arms in the holy and just cause which
has at all times found ardent defenders in our pi-
GUS ancestors. In tie Domino speraci con .tua-
