From the N. Y. Daily Advertiser May 11
Latest from England. ;
By the arrival last evening ot the ship ,
Florida, Capt. Matlack, in 30 days from j
Liverpool, we received London papers to ,
the 7th of April, Lloyd’s List to the sth,
snd Liverpool papers to the 9th ol April, ,
all inclusive. The intelligence by this
vessel is of sn interesting character, but
the lateness of the hour at which we re
ceived our papers, confines us to the lot
lowing extracts. The most important arti
cles are those which relate to the allaira
of Russia and Turkey* The Ultimatum of
Russia having been rejected by the Porte,
war is considered as inevitable. The funds
in France and England had fallen in con
sequence ; and a decisive blow has been
given to the Austrian paper currency
B LONDON, Apt 117-
RE JEUTION OF THE RUSSIAN ULTI
MATUM.
We mentioned on thursday.that accord
ing to advices which had been received
from Constantinople, dated the sth ult.
ihe Divan solemnly assembled on the -25 in
of February to take into consideration the
Note of the Ambassadors. The result of
tliis conference we added, was a reply
transmitted to the ambassadors which was
not so favourable to peace as was expecte .
The reply was discussed in a Grand Divan
or Council qf State, at which were present
the Viziers, the Cadis of Humella and An
atolia the Commandants of the J® n,s * ar y
corps, the learned Doctors, and the Mui
is “ The assembly unanimously resolv
ed,” say advice* from Constantinople oi
the 6th March, “that the propositions
in the Russian ultimatum, were ol a nature
which never could be accepted. In con
sequence, the ReisEffendi went, to lake
the orders of the Sultan on the mode in
which a notification should be made to the
Ambassadors of England and Austria, ot
the inutility of continuing to importune his
Highness with propositions, which the
Dignitaries of the Empire, and the Mon
arch himself deemed inadmissible ” Re
peated interviews took place between
Lord Slrsngford and the 'Reis Eflendi,
which terminated abruptly; and on the 3d
inst a Note was delivered to the English’
and Austrian Ambassadors, in Turkish
manuscript, with a French translation, of
which the following has been given as the
substance;
“ The Divan witnesses with pleasure
the efforts which its friends, the Ambas
sador of England and the Austrian Inter
nuncio, make to adjust the differences
which have arisen between the Sublime
Porte and the Czar of the Muscovites; but
the Divan views, as useless to the propos
ed object, all farther discussion of the
propositions contained in the Russian Ul
timatum-propositions which are incom
patible with the sovereignty of his high
ness.
** It would be desirable that the above
mentioned Ambassadors would make
known to their Courts the subjects of
complaint which the Porte has against the
Muscovites, vit'That the Russian Con
■tils, chosen from the Greek nation, think
ing themselves secure under their liarat
(or Russian letter of naturalization), have >
openly taken part in the plots which
have been concerted at Smyrna, and in
the Isles of the archipelago, to insurrec
tiomze the Rojaht (subjects of the Porte);
that a Russian ship, laden with arms and
amunition, has been seized in the Gulf of
Smyrna, when on the point of sailing for
lapara ; that the merchants of Odessa sent
t» the Greek Insurgents money and corn,
supplies of which were seized in the
atreight of the Bosphorus; that Ale* Yps
ilauti, styling himself the ‘ Agent of Russia,’
and atlirhd in Russian un form, came to
Bucharest, at Ihe head of a troop compos
ed of Greeks and Russians, seized the pub
lic coffers, put to death the Mussulmen
merchants established in Wallachia, and
.posted proclamations, exciting the subjects
of the Porte to insurrection, and promising
them the aid of Russia; that, in truth, the
Court of Russia had declared, that all this
was the work of particular individuals,
who acted in opposition to the will of the
Emperor, but that, notwithstanding this
declaration, the traitor Michael Suzzo, af
ter having opened the gates of Jassy to
Vpsilanti, and after having decapitated .se
veral Turks who resided there, fled to
Russia, where he waa hospitably received,
and supplied with mosey, as were also
other Greek refugees; whilst his Ma jesty
the Emperor of Austria, faithful to trea
ties, caused those tube arrested who fled ,
into his dominions, and even confined Yps- ;
ilauti in* State Prison.
, " From these facts the Courts of Eng- I
land and Austria will judge whether it is j
Russia or Turkey which has provoked .
war The I’orle demanded no satisfaction
for these hostile circumventions on the
Sart of Russia, the result of which only (
tslurbed the peace of the Ottoman Em
pire, but an instant. But the Porte will
not suffer that a Foreign Court, a known
supporter of all the rebellious against the
authority of his Highness, should come
and interfere in the domestic affairs of the
Empire. If some Christian temple has
been unlawfully demolished, i shall be '
restored after tranquility shall have been
completely re-establisbed- His Highness '
will grant an amnesty to his Greek sub- *
jects of the Archipelago and Mores,
when they shall have laid down theirarms.
“ The Ottoman troops shall continue to J
occupy Wallachia and Moldavia, so long •
as the Divan shall consider those provin- '
ces as menaced by the Cossacks and He- ?
lariats assembled on the eastern hank of
the Pruth With respect to the nomina
tion of the Hospodar, the Sublime Porte
acknowledges that treaties, among others 1
tha of Bucharest, prescribe -<t ; hence slic r
has no intention to refuse it, nor to make F
any change in the formof government, gua- v
ranteed by conventions to thhse two Prin I
cipallties, as she has declared to the Wal- n
laetuan and Moldavian Boyars: only Rus- t
sia having volated the treaty of Bucharest *
(as has been mentioned above) has no v
n- u*° claim the execution of that article. I
its Highness having besides by this Trea- c
y, liberty to name as Hospodar the per
son who ahall deserve that favour, has al
ready decided that in future no Greek
. flo8 P°‘ 1 « either of Wallachia or
• loldavia; for the Greek Princes elevated 1
to that post for a century, instead of show, a
mg themselves grateful and faithful, have p
accepted the pay of Russia, and have frame
■ d conspiracies, without reckoning that ri
several of them, after having pillaged the u
oeople of Wallachia and Moldavia, have n
fled imo Christian countries with the an- 1
I . t '
j.jat treasures, the fruits of their ipacity
and tyranny. His Highness will-ime as
Hospoclar either a Turk or a Walfchian,
as he has made known to the Boyw.
« Finally, it is not for the Porteto send
Commissioners to the frontiers to hegoci
ate peace—she is not at war wilhjlussia,
notwithstanding ail the provocatiols—and
if the Muscovite irmies shall begii hostil
ities, she has taken measures to repel
«1 can assure you,” adds a prlvSe let
ter, “ that on receiving this Note, M. de
Lutzow let it fall from his hands, ao Incred
ible did its contents and tone appear. He
could not believe bis eyes, and re-perused
it several times previously to dispatching
it for Vienna. It is also said, that Lorn
3 1 rang lord endeavored to delay the cour
ier, with the hope of obtaining some mo
dification of its character.
We have received Herman Papers to the
30th ult. An article from Frankfort of that
date gives the following as the substance
of dispatches received at Vienna on the
23d.—They confirm all previous accounts
of the hostile aspect which the negocia
tions between Russia and Turkey had sud
denly assumed. The Funds at Vienia had
experienced a further depression.

“An express dispatched from Comtanti- '

that this Note is unfortunately of sue,t a na- j
lure as to render useless the mediation of
the three Powers, and that notwithstand
ing all their efforts to preserve peace, the 1
obstinacy and the infatuation of the Sub- '

ODESSA, March 11.
We have news from Constantinople to
the 3d of this month, but tiiey bring no
thing decisive respecting the progress ot
the diplomatic negociations of the Minis
ters of England and Austria. Lord Strang
ford had a conference with the Reis Effen
di at the latter end of February, in which
he urged him to accept the Russian Ulti
matum without any reserve. Lastly, he
offered the Porte a delay, which he was
willing to extend to tour weeks, & tried to
induce the Reis Effendho promise to give
a decision before the expiration of this
term. The Rets Effendi however, declar
ed he could not agree to this, as the Porte'
thought first to make some arrangements
in the interior of the Empire; but lie hop
ed, that he should perhaps be able to de
clare himself before the expiration of that
period. Probably the Divan wishes to see
the result of the Expedition sent to the
Moreu We are anxious to learn what the
Austrian Internuncio Count Lntzow will
effect, in the conference which is promis
ed him with the Reis Efi'endi: It is evi
eent that the Reis Effendi only seeks to
gain time. Our just Monarch has fully re
moved the objections to the evacuation of
Wallacliia and Moldavia, alledged in the
note to the Reis Effendi of the 2d Decem
ber, by sending away Prince Michael Suz
zo, and dissolving the corps of ilelansts in
Bessarabia. Further concessions on the
part of our >Con« is hardly conceivable,
and would indeed be unparalleled in the

LONDON. April 6.
There has been great bustle at the Stock
Exchange this morning. Consuls for the
account (11th instant) opened at , 9 3-8,
and immediately fell to 78 5-8 The mar
ket has since recovered considerably. The
cause of the depression is entirely ascrib
ed to the reports respecting Russia and
Turkey.
By an express which reached London
yesterday afternoon from Paris, wc learn
that the panic occasioned by the rejection
ot the ultimatum of Russia by 'Turkey,
produced a farther decline in the French
funds on Thursday, which are quo led at
86 90, and is about 1 per cent below the
price of the preceding week.
A new Turkish army was assembling on
the frontiers of Bosnia The troops in the
environs ot Sophia had set out for the
Danube.
The Generals in chief of the Russian ar
mies had held a council of war at he grand
head quarters at Minsk. The linssians
were shortly to enter Wa.laclua and Mol
davia.
Subsequent to the Ultimatum, Russia
demanded of the Porte a large sum to in
demnify for the expenses of her arma
ments, kc.
The Ipswich Journal states that that
country continued to be the scene of noc
turnal conflagration. Fires were kindled '
in all directions, individuals denounced, j

To the Editor. - it
Pauis, Feb. 28, 1822.
Sib— The ancient" house of Peregaux, a
Lafitte & Co. of which lam a partner, has n
in account to settle with the estate of Na- r
poleon Bonaparte. This account has giv- j
:n rise to a litigation, whies has been car- tl
ied to the Tribunal of the Seine and of tt
which several Journals have spoken in a w
nanner more or less incorrect. Hitherto it
I have been silent, hoping that the pubii- an
city of the judicial proceedings would a
sufficiently enlighten the public opinion, r
But, since the tribunal has resolved that I
this affair should be heard in private, 1
consider it my duty to make known the
real state of the case.—ln 1815, Napo
Icon Bonaparte, at the moment of hia
quitting Paris to proceed to North Ante- .
rica, paid into my bank the sum ot
4,220,000 fr. which with other bills not
then payable, would amount to 5 millions.
My house gave him in exchange—l-A
Promissory Note for 5 millions, payable
at sight; —2. A letter of credit,, payable
at sight, for the same sum, upon Bankers
at Philadelphia. Thus Napoleon Bona
parte had two instruments to dispose of
that sum at his pleasure, cither at PaaiS
or in a foreign country. The bills Wiiicq
should have completed the 5 millions
were never realised, and the sum of
, 4,220,000 fr the only one lodged in my
. bank, has been reduced by various par
tial payments made to the order of Napo
leon Bopaparte, to about 3,149,000 tr. for
, which my house remains indebted to his
estate. lam taught by an abstract of Na
poleon Bonaparte’s autograph Will, which
[ is deposited in Eng'and, that he has ap
pointed testamentary Executors. Jt * s
with this mere abstract, accompanied by
( a letter directed to me, signed by Napo
leon Bonaparte, but not written with ins
. own hand, that the Executors present
themselves to me as a partner of the
house of Perregaux, Lafitte, and Compa
ny. They require the settlement of
the account, and the payment ot the ba
lance. The Executors know my dispo
sition, and even my desire to pay the
debt, they also agree that I ought to with
hold every payment for which 1 cannot
nave a fall discharge ; but they maintain,
that they are qualified to give me a valid
receipt; my Counsel think the contrary.
This is the point at issue —lt is said, on
my part, that the letter directed to me,
considered as a draft, is revoked by the
death ot the person drawing, and that it
cannot be valid as a testamentary deed,
since His not invested with the formali
ties required by the law, tbat he auto
graph Will, represented by an abstract,
cannot be justly executed against a third
person—a debtor to the estate; tbat 1
cannot and ough not to constitute my
self a judge upon questions of political,
or civil law which may arise upon the va
lidity of this document ; that such validi
ty ought to be recognized by the heir at
law, or verified mi contradiction to him ;
that according to our law, there is no es
late without a legal heir or representa-,
live, that it is either in a relative within
the degree of succession, or in the wi
dow, or in the state ; and finally, tbat it
is not for me, but for the Executors to
find out and sue this lawful heir whoever
he may be. In a word, according to the
advice of my Counsel, 1 say to the Exe
cutors lam ready to pay, but 1 wish
copay with a valid discharge; I will not
expose myseif to pay twice. Have your
title and your qualification verified with
the lawful oppostr, or allow me to obtain
my discharge by the. payment of it to the
Caisse des Consignations Such, is,if it'
may be called an action, that which ex
ists between the Executors and the anci
ent firm of Perregaux, Lafiue and Co. J
have the honor, &c,
(Signed) J. LAFITTE.
TO THE EDITOn-
Sll’—We should have waited in silence
the decision ot the court, had not M. La
fitte thought it desirable for his interests,
to address the public, in order, as he says,
to make known the true object of the suit;
between us. i
The memory of M. Lafitte does not serve :
him well, when tie says that tn return for.
the sums deposited, the house of Perre
gaux Lafitte gave—lst. An acknowledg
ment payable at sight —2d. A letter of ere- ■
dit alike payable at sight. The acknow
ledgement does not say payable at s\ght—
its tenor is, “ we will hold at the disposal
of, ike.” and the letter of credit addressed
to the American merchants runs thus—
“ You will reimburse yourself by drawing
upon us at t-wo or three mouths sight,” and
the direction added to this letter of credii ,
to regulate the manner of employing it,
says likewise—" They may draw upon us
at three or four months sight ” This differ
ence has some degree of importance, par
ticularly as regards the question of into
rest; for a deposit is not repayable at
three or four months sight.
As to the matter ol the suit, the court
having ordered that it should be pleaded
with closed doors, out of respect to that
order, we shall abstain from noticing now
the points discussed at the Hearing. We
shall content ourselves with remarking,
that the summary given by M. Lafitte of
the grounds assumed by his counsel, is far
from being complete, and, as an example,
that it was urged on his side, that tde will
was null in points of form, because it was
signed Napoleon, instead of being signed
Bonaparte and mill in substance because
the testator having been outlawed, he had
therefore civilly dead. We await with con
fidence, the decision of the law.
MONTIiOLON. ’
Several of our brother editors are en
deavoring to inform the public what Cob
belt now is in politics, and what l»e is do
ing. The Post said, a few evenings since,
that this “singularman, of singular abili
ties,” and of no less singular want of prin
cipie, "has given up the Gridiron, and
commenced a paper called the Statesman,”
kc. The American of Wednesday says,
“ the Gridiron, as it has been aptly called,
was not written by Cobbett, but against
him, and was intended, by exposing his
inconsistencies and contradictions, in quo
tations from hi* own works, to place him
figuratively on a seat of torment, to which
he is literally entitled by the abuse of his
faculties to the vilest and worst purposes.”
The Philadelphia Democratic Press of
Wednesday evening says, "Me has ceased
to broil Ministers on the Gridiron and is
now in the columns'of the Statesman, laud'
mg the Marquis of Londonderry,
Now neither of the above accounts are
strictly correct Cobbeit issued proposals ,
for publishing The Gridiron, andintendeil
it as a kind of parliamentary paper; but 1
the satirical work which was immediately 1
issued against him under t hat title, of which
the American speaks, roasted him so se- '
rerely, that he desisted from that project, '
md is now engaged in the Statesman, but

Washington Turnpike.
\ small number of shares of the slock
were subscribed tor in this place, Augus
ta, Applingtou, Lexington, and Athens.
The project has failed for this year P< It
must be owing to < lie act of incorporation,
the provisions of which are probably con
sidered defective, onto .he want of a spir
it of enterprise among tlie citizen? ot
Georgia. It cannot well be attributed to
the latter reason because it is impossible
to doubt of he great benefit a turnpike
road from Athens to Augusts, would be
to a great portion of the inhabitants of
the state: in ibis case, interest; if not
enterprise, would have an induce
ment to become stockholders in ih,-
Washington Turnpike. The state having
declined taking an interest in the under
taking, may have deterred many of onr
farmers and capitalists to subscribe for
s ock, under the impression that the plan
would, or could not be carried in o eff ect,
or that it would be an unprofitable, if not
a ruinous stock. —It m is be acknowledg
ed that tiie measure of the legislature in
th : s respect, indirectly encouraged die
impression. If the stock were to be so
profitable, as it wae .represented by the
friends of the plan, why did not the state
become » stockholder and, thereby, give
an example to follow to the inhabitants ?
If the state bad been interested in the un
dertaking, it would have carried convic
-1 uoniin the minds ol the people of the
practicability of the measure and of the
profitableness of the stock. The legisla
ture, by the last section of the act, para
lyzed the efforts that would have been
made by the friends of in ernal improve
■ moots, to promote the s recess of tiie en
terprise contemplated- The plain fact Is
I that men wtll not give away their money
' unless there is some certainty that they
will get it back when they please with in
terest.— Let the legislature, by a wise anu
well digested act, ensure, as much as men
can reasonably do, the accomplishment of
the plan and a moderate interest to the
stockholders, and there can be no doub
that all die shares will be promptly sub
scribed for. The subject will be laid be
fore the next legislature ; it is then the
duty of die f riends of internal improve*
1 meitts, especially those who have acquir
ed much expei ience in such matters, to
submit to the people through die medium
of the newspapers, their ideas and views .
on turnpike roads : the ts'.ima’ed cost of
die one contemplated from Athens to Au
gusta ; the time required t ■ accomplish
it, &c and the provisions the act of incor
poration ought to contain to be accepta
ble to the citizens. If the subject were
to be discussed and investigated previous
to the sitting of the next legislature, the
members will act upon it wiyh more cer
tainty ; they will take from every essay
what is sound and wise, which added to
their own ideas, and knowledge in inter
nal improvements, would result in the a
doption of a bill calculated to carry into
full effect the object intended by it.

MARKETS FOR THE FAS T WEEK.
Savannah, Hay 18.
COTTON.—The Market for Uplands du
ring the past week has been uncommonly
Hat, and the anxiety on the part ot holders
to sell from this cause as well as the late
ness of the season, has been greater than
probably at any period before—it may be
quoted at 13 and 16 ; strictly prims might
yet bring 17. Sea Islands have been in
more request, and sales have been made
at all prices from 25 a 375, according to
quality and brands—the stock remaining
is about 5 or 600 bags.
UIC.E—In Rice little has been done,
it is held at 275 a §3.
CORN—The heavy arrivals during the
week, about 25 to 30,000 bushels, had an
effect to reduce it to 85 cents per cargo—
to day it may be quoted at 87$ a SO

LIVERPOOL MARKETS, April 8.

Indian Corn. 1
Indian corn, or,maize , is the most
able crop in cultivation among us, Jj
whatever point of view it is considered.-C- i
It not only produces a greater quantity!*
grain product for man th an any other cfJß'Ci
but also of vegetable matter for
and the earth. It is not only the nf ■
valuable, take it with all its advanlajipVf:
but it is of all crops, generally the
certain. It defies drought and we',,-tT
if it fails, some most uncommon searji*. i, .
or rireumstaneca occur. It nccesesjj
requires the soil to be kept clean; i "
'is consequently the best crop to stihffieil
a slubborn, or clean afoul soil. _ It fopbjffi
us in farm well, which renders it the
preparatory crop for small grain of <!■#
other An eminent agricultural wribAjl
has placed the high value of com i:(B7
conspicuous light; he correctly tetmsMl
both* meal, meadow and manure ;
right to the first title, almost every toaftW
in the largest portion of the U.
can testify- 5 to the second, an cxclusuß
reliance on it fjr fodder or hay, in a gr
district of country during two cenlui
gives conclusive evidence > but tliet>H|
hausled state of this same co«i«Sr>'
approves its claim to the third, or
lows any pretension of its inhabitants
industry or agricultural skill.-'—The
neral opinion appears to be entertar «rl
among farmei s that corn is an exhaus infV
crop, than which nothing can lie rrsir. ■
incorrect. The reasons for this op: lie; J
;u-e to be charged to the ignorance or i;nj
skilfulness of farmers in estimating thdß
value of corn, or their manner of c
vating it, and not the plant i'Self. I'idi B
an corn being a very powerful plar'.irß
capable of contending with an imp over jB
ished soil ; und-when tolerably cul t-vitA|
ed, will remunerate the farmer on
incapable of producing crops of s lm» Pp
any other description, equally vaLlab. Bo)
and the farpier abuses this plant Cs
impoverishcr, because it continues j!
ful until the last dying gasp of-th<>
which his avarice has destroyed. L®
termining whether a crop of any km
improves or impoverishes the soil, «'*•
must consider the offal or vegetable ros -
ter which it affords, as carefully ret nice KJ
bar'- to tiie soil in the form of m-l:; : JJ,wi
and whether this will not compensate
the nutriment drawn from the eaUn 1
the growing state of the crop, * w
according to this prinelp*s d’at inai(l w(
corn, instead of being an exhausting,
be found to be a highly improving orcoac
pensating crop to the earth. Ther*i*V
no other crop which yields no g ,cit3 an
quanti'y of oft'al or vegetable maH't’ 33 ’
tliis ; in its stalks alone it far enrecdjt a
of any other grain crop : but to >l ,e S3 ‘ s *l
are so be added, its blades, top I, 9 1l
and cobs, each of which will •|lc3rlj ? 1 * I
lance the litter bestowed on th ’. /a;
any oilier other crop.—lnstead re ', r f;
Inc to the earth in the form ot t rll|ll ’| -J
the vast quantity of litter afford i 1 J
ilian corn, we liave sail creel it to '■* M
nnd perish, and have continued t ' c6 H
vale this plant for two centurle. l e* ■!
without giving it hardly one dust J U
nure, or the land any rest which pr< (H
it ; and finding that Indian corn W

this way has been continued, UJ< «
fields on which it grew have beeirr
and we have unjustly transferreu jput
ourselves to atv innocent plant, the 1
of their impoverisliment. £ , |n){ |®
As surprising as it may seem t<\ - f
yet it may be safely asserted, that > §]
no crop within the reach ot the ‘ Jt
which is so well calculated to mipr .j f „
