Nsw-Yokx, October 12.
By the Packet ship Albion, Capt. Williams,
39 days from Liverpool, the Editors of the
New-York Daily Advertiser have i eceived
their regular files of London papers to the j
Evening of August 30th, Liverpool papers to
September Ist, Lloyd’s Lists and London |
Shipping Lists to Augusl 29tl>, all inclusive.
We are indebted to Capt. Williams for a file
of the latest papers that he brought.
The subject of most interest in the English
papers is tne state of things on the western
borders of tlie European continent. Nothing
decis ve as it regards war or peace between
Kussia and Turkey, has yet transpired. The
complexion of the latest accounts is ;n favor
of hostilities. Tho Turkish Divan had not,
at the date of the latest advices, published
their result on the requisitions of Hussia
though the time allowed for their delibera
tions was about expiring.' sty the latest let
ters from Odessa, it would seem that war was
expected there. It is slated that the Russian
forces on the banks of the Uwina, and the
corps in Lithuania, had received orders to
advance one march towards the lurktsh
frontiers, and that other bodies of troops
were moving forward to occupy the stations
the former had left. It also appears from
some accounts, that the lurkisli army
amounted to 100,OOOr men i and that active
exertions were making to repair the fortifica
tions upon the Dardanelles.
It is also stated that the British govern
ment have offered their mediation between
the two powers. If this be correct, it is a
circumstance of no small importance.—ln
the present state of Europe, Great Britain
must be supposed to possess considerable in
fluence with both parties at the approaching
controversy, and if that influence should be
seasonably and seriously exerted in favour of
peace, the fact would lead us to conclude
there would be no war.
The King of Great Britain was still in Ire
land, pursuing a course of amusement and
exhibiting himself to his Irish subjects in
such a variety of circumstances, as to ren
der him extremely popular with the inhabi
tants of that. Island. Addresses from all
classes of people, and among others from the
Quakers and Catholics, had been presented
to him, and most graciously received and an
swered. We have no doubt that the royal
visit to that important portion of Ins domin
ions, will have a strong tendency to enliven
the feelings of attachment to the monarch
among his Irish subjects, and will probably
lessen if not remove much of the hardiness
and animosity that has heretofore existed
towards the ltriiish government.
It would seem by statements in the English
papers, that the King ol Great Britain in
tends, after his return from Ireland, to visit
his Hanoverian dominions, and renew the
family interests among his continental sub
jects. —If his project should be executed, it j
is suggested that his Majesty, under the Idle .
of Count de Lunebourg will visit I‘aris on I
his way. It is also expected that there will
be another Congress of Sovereigns at which
lie will be present. It is a curious cn cum
stance in tlie history of the times, that the.
assembling of the principal sovereigns ol
Europe to deliberate upon and adjust the
affairs of the continent, has become a matter
not only of frequent but of almost regular
occurrence. How long this kind ol inter
course will last, it is difficult to conjecture;
but whilst it continues, slid their counsels
harmonize in the same manner they have
hitherto done, it is apparent that the civiliz
ed world may expect to see a new code of
the law of nations. So long as Russia, Aus
tria and Prussia shall agree in their measures,
and keep on hand had a million oftnen to
execute their decrees, and punish the viola
tions of their orders, and Great Britain and
France slmll slfctd by unconcerned spectators
of what is passing, it is very apparent that
the three first mentioned governments will
give law to all the other powers of Europe.
However, it is not to be expected, reasoning
from all experience in tlie affairs of nations,
and the character of governments, that such
combinations can last for any great length of
time.

Loxnon, August 28.
The funds declined yesterday nearly one
percent, owing to the intelligence receiv

This morning there is every appearance
of an improvement, as the panic hud in a
great measure subsided. Consols for ac
count, at twelve o’clock were 75 3-8. 'To
morrow is the settling day, and from the
late great fluctuations, tlie differences to be
made are reported to be on the most exten

The last intelligence received from Con
stantinople is of a rather more warlike
complexion than the previous advices. The
ultimatum of the emperor Alexander would
not it was thought, be acceded to by the
Porte.
This ultimatum we give in substance a
week or two since ; but if the following
enumeration of its demands be correct, they
differ in some slight degree from wliat has
already appeared. It is now said the em
peror of Russia exacts ;

churches and re-establishment of the Reli

6thly. A public and open apology to Baron
Stioganoff, for the continued insults which
the Forte had offered him.
A period of eight days only was allowed
to answer this demand from the court of 3t.
Petersburg.
The Divan, it is said, had been in close
consultation upon the subject for several
ilays, and the European ambassador, were
invited to jttend some of their deliberations.
Lord Strangford, in particular, possesses
great influence. Doubtless, any course
which the Ottoman government may pursue,
must be mainly directed by the knowledge
it may possess of the feelings and disposi

Cabinets, and of none more than that of
Great Britain.
'The Greek nation is engaged in the forma
tion of a general government, to be exercis
ed by a senate, constituted of deputies from
the various districts of the peninsula, and
from the islands. Leoniari, a small town
nearly in tilt centre of the Morea, is chosen
for the seat of this government. ’t here
. seems to be no Turkish force in the Morea
competent to prevent the Greeks from se
curely pursuing this great object, but in
the northern provinces the power of the
l urks is perfectly established.

The sales of Cotton this w eek, have been,
by private 4160 bags, and by auction, 2350
bags of all sorts, of which, by private, 2430

W ar between Russia and Turkey was still
talked of, but nothing decisive had taken
place. A letter from I’aris of the 25th Ali
gns;, observes on this subject, “ neither do
we thiuk we are in error in repeating our
assurance that war is certain, and that there
is not a human heart in Europe that does
not wisii the extermination of the I urk«,
and their definitive expulsion from this quar
ter of the world.”

The accounts from Odessa were to the 3d

prince of one of tne most distinguished so
vereign houses in Germany, who acquired
great military reputation in the late wars,
lakes particular interest in the cause, and
has contributed bv.UtXI florins towards the
equipment oi the young volunteers.
Professor Krug’s proclamation had been
answered by proiessor Wenck, of the same
university, in which iie deprecates the idea
of sending inexperienced young men to
fight lor the Greeks, and says if they wish lo
coniribuie to tutor support, let them afford
pecuniary assistance,
Krug's proclamation had been confiscated,
and proceedings instituted botn against him
and the publishers. Inc queen’s remains

The London I'raveiler of the 29th, on
the subject ol the k.**g’s visit to Ireland,
makes the following observations :
“ Every thing shows that conciliation is a

The harvest has begun pretty generally

finer harvest week than that which is now

the glorious weather with which we are

ble. They are already sensibly felt in the
corn markets. On Friday, wheat, of the
finest quality, sold from 4s. to ss. per quar

vance which the gloomy weather of two or
three weeks past hud occasioned.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
There exists a report that the ltivan has I
accepted the mediation of F.ngland. In the j
meantime a secret negotiation is carried on j
between Russia and Austria. The meeting!
of another congress is expected, in which j
wilt be decided the definite existence of j
Greece. The three divisions of the Russian I
army are concentrated on the Pruth : they ]
have their advanced posts on the extreme
frontier for the purpose of watching the
movements of the Ottoman forces under
Jussufl' Pacha.—Prince Alexander Ypsilanti
is placed under the surveillance of an Aus
trian oftioer- At Constantinople conferen
ces have taken place between the Divanand
the Austrian li'tefr.uncio, but the latter has
displeased t Ive Forte on account of the man
ifest paitiahty displayed to the Austrian
cause. The Porte leans particularly tow
ards England ; and the British ambassador
has frequent conferences with the Ottoman
ministers, and every tiling seems to author
ise the presumption that the cabinet of St.
James has definitely declared itself media
tor.
Various accounts in the German papers
state the Russian armies to be anxious lor
orders to enter the Turkish territory : the
soldier* are inflamed with religious enthu
siasm, on account of the attrocities commit
ted by the Turks against the Greek Chris
tians. It is declared that Constantinople
must be attacked by sea and Isnd, and that
the Greek empire must be re-established.
Notwithstanding that Ypsilanti has been
withdrawn from YVallachia, which was caus
ed by the desertion of tfje Aibanese, the in
surgents remain in considerable lorce. In
Lillie Wailachia almost all the convents have
been fortified by them ; and the Greek

situation of the two provinces is extremely
deplorable.
It is affirmed that the English garrisons

“ Constantinople, July 25.
“ New rumours are again current which
give rise to apprehensions of a war with
Ku-sia. 'I he demands of the latter are ot
such a nature, that hostilities we think al
most inevitable. An assembly of all the
Turkish Ministers took place yesterday, and
the two preceding days. A private confer
ence between them and all the foreign Min
isters, commences today on this subject.
Lord Strangford possesses considerable
more influence than the rest ; and it ap
pears that the Porte has taken the greatest
pains to ascenain the sentiments ot Great
Britain, and the other Powers, tow ards her ;
and whether, in the event of a war with
Russia, they will support the Tuiks. A pe
riod ol eight days (which expires to-mor
row) is fixed by Russia for a decisive reply ;
and, it is said, if negatived, nothing can pi e-
Vttfll M M ar. 1 liuve huii the opinion of so
veral diplomatic characters, who think Tur
key will accede to them. On the other
hand persons holding official situations have
declared that a war is inevitable. Most of
the l urks also think so, but it surely cannot
be the policy, or favourable for the Turks
lo come to such a decision. They will find
it very difficult to suppress the Greeks, but
time alone can clear up this point.
“ We still continue lo enjoy tranquility
here. 'The execution of Greeks has been
less frequent lately'. Twenty-three of them
were brought from the northern provinces,
ten were beheaded, and the rest sent to the
gailies.
“ The British Consul, Mr. Janies, has been
very roughly handled by the Greeks at Ta
gatidorff, who left him for dead. He lias
received many severe bruises, but is now re
covering.
“ We look forward to-morrow with great
anxiety’, when it will be decided whether a
war is, or is not, to take place. No prepar
ations have been made by any of the mer
chants here, and I think this is a good sign,
as they must consider the result will be fa
vorable. Ido not suppose the English will
be compelled to quit this country. Lord
Straiigford’s influence with the Porte will
procure them protection, but 1 fancy we
shall be locked up in our houses for some
day s and perhaps months.
