MARE)[ 28.---Couriers have arrived this morning at Belgrade from Constantinople. The news from this last city are of 20th March. Every thing .was in it le greatest fermentation, .1,41:1 an insurrection of the Janissaries had excited still greater consternation among the inha'4:it:tilts. The Sul :n, in consequence of the preparations for war which are continued with „the greatest activity, bad also ordered a press of . sailors, which was already carried into execution with great rigour, and without respect to per'sons. Some Ortas of the Janissaries, who had been ordered for the sea service, have positively refused ; these threats and vociferations soon excited the fury of the other Ortas, and they proceeded to act with violence towards their officers. The new Aga of the Janissaries, lately ~appointed by the Sultan, was the first victim of _their rage. His predecessor, who.was discharged on account of the disorders which took place on the arrival of the head of Ali Pacha, was immediately re-instated in that important post. The Janissaries, after having murdered their chief,' iiispersed about the streets of Constantinople,' and gave loose, without restraint, to their hatred of the Christians. All they met in the streets, of whatever nation, were massacred. Constantinople is now as light at night as in 'the day time, on account of the fires of the ~-ttevouacs, which fill the city and the environs. great city resembles a vast camp, and the hopes of making war on the accursed Ghaurs (the Russians), and of enriching themselves by • pillage, excites in all the Musselmen extraordinary joy and enthusiasm. Their religious zeal, which has, been rather less vehement for some years past, has now resumed all its impetuosity, and the people are more fanatical than ever. The accounts from Epirus and Albania are favourable to the Greeks. Choarschid Pacha is so occupied with the Sii;ots and Albanians, that tie has not yet been able to think of executing ,--the order of the Sultan, or of proceeding with . his, army to the Morea. All the men able to - bear arms in the Pachalik of Joannina have received them, and endeavour by every means to preiTnt the carrying away of the treasures of Ali Pacha. _ _  ,On.the frontiers of Bosnia, the Turks have had -,-ieie-nt quarrels with the Chiefs of the Bosniac • -:ribesi and in the partial actions which have taken place, the latter have always had the ad vantage. In Servia, on the contrary, all is yet tranquil. Prince Milosch conducts himself with great prudence, but it may be foreseen that this calm will not last long. When hostilities break • out between. the Russians and the Turks, there is little doubt that the Servians, who have been so long oppressed, will again take up arms, and endeavour-to take advantage of this opportunity, finally to. throw off the Ottoman yoke. Accounts from Odessa of 6th March say, that whatever has the remotest connexion with the Greeks, or wilt the struggle which is about to commence, excites the liveliest interest in the public. A company.of amateurs has lately performed the tragedy of Philocieles, translated into •thodern Greek._ The theatre could not contain , • the crowd that pressed for admission. Madame catalani, the younger, who had acted with gene, ral satisfaction the part of Ajanira, has since been daily engaged in private houses to sing patriotic Greek hymns and Russian national airs. The subject of all. these musical songs is the .fall or the Ottoman Empire. Letters from Vienna of the 3d of April say, A 1 1 the accounts and all the private letters con. tique to indicate war. The most strange catastrophes threaten Turkey ; a kind of civil war has broken out in Bosnia; Servia is in fermentation, and thetinhabitants wait only for a favour'able moment to throw off the yoke of the Musselmans. In Albania and Epirus, the contest has recommenced with great fury ; and, lastly, .the news from Constantinople is of the most alarming nature."  The slight rise in our funds has not been supported. The Actions of the Bank are again at Gel ; and the Metalliques at 74 5-lOths.
