Ru ileus D’cljration of War agtiinst Turkey.
Russia has at length declared her intention
of seeking mil obtaining satisfaction for ail the
injuries and insults reco.ved from tho Pone.
On ihe 4 I) instant, two offln&l documents, da
ted St. Petersburg April 14, (26) were received . a|
at Berlin. One is teimcd a Manifesto of tin.' V(
Emperor, and the other n Declaration. In tho
.first the Emperor complains of ihe violation
of tho Treaties of Bucharest und Ackermanii:
of the Porte summoning its subjects to nrm,en
mane, against tin' Russians who were denom-
' mated the irrcconcdablo enemies to Turkey ;
of the detention of Russian vessels and thesei-
zuro of thoir cargoes ;* and of the intrigues of
Turkey to prolong tho war in Persia. Tho
honor and dignity uf Russia, tho.Empgror says,
render funlier forbearance impossible, und re
quires tho redress of all these grievances; to
obmin which he has ordered his armies ig nk
vancointo the Turkish territories, in full con
fidence of success froth the protection of Ileuv-
* cn, and tho justice of Ins cause.
Tho Declaration doscribos, at much greater
longth, the causes which render an appeal to
arms indispensably necessary. It reproaches
the Port with its shameful avowal of duplicity
msigning the treaty of Ackermann, which it
never intended to fulfil; with its disregard of
a'l li her treaties, with its perfidy in summon ng
all ,M ilinmedans to arms against Russia, on the
very day when the European Ambassadors
receiyed the strongest assurances of the pacific
disposition of the Pone; nod with its endeavors
to cause a renewal of tho war in Persia. Not
withstanding all the sacrifices mado by Russia
to preserve peace, and recipe the oxistonco of
the Turkish dominions in Europe, the Turks
had taken advantage of the difficulties in winch
they imagined Russia to bo involved idler the
pcaco of 1812, to violate raorq grossly all their
existing engagements.
They had cruelly butchered the Servians, to
whom they had granted an amnesty ; ami bad
plundered Moldavia and Wallachi.i, though the
privileges of those unhappy provinces had been-
guaranteed. For five years the Erappror
Alexander had endeavored to preservo jieaco,
notwithstanding all the provocations received
from the Turks, and tho shameful evasion pf
treaties evinced bv them. The insurrection
epe.t ei provocations' wot. out the patience
of Alex tnlur, aud in October, 1825.he trans
mit.cd mi one;gctic rent n*tr.iino o the Pone,
bu' immo li...ely afterwards, death snatched linn
from ihe I >vc of liis people.
The Empero' Nicholas then sought to settle
the existing differences by nngodution, far front
taking advantage of the levolt of die Greeks
emh avorad to modiaic between them and he
Pirie. In ptirstiance of this design, had signed
iv di England, die Protocol of April 3 and,
suliseqijendy, with England and France the
Treat v of JtiU 6. Tho Emperor appeals to
fli n Tro i y as a proof of his disill e.'o-tedirass.
The shameful bleach of faith, on the part of die
Ottoman General, which led to the battle ol
Niv.irino, <iid not change the Emperor’s wish
for peace, and the return made by Turkey for
•ill the inhder.ttiqtil evinced by li in was the pub
lic atimi of tiie insulting ManifesM of the 20th
of D-cember. Tim Emperor then declared
w ir against Turkey, and states tho objects of
tho war to be—
To compel Turkey to pay all the expences
of the war, and to indemnify his subjects for all
die losses they |i tve sustained.
To chtblr.e die due and effectual obser
vance of ihose treaties which Turkey has vio
lated.
To secure the iitvio! tb!e liberty of tho Black
Sea, and tho free navigation of tho Bospho
rus.
IIo declares that ho has not those ambitious
designs which the Turk's!) manifesto has im
puted to inn ; that ho has already countries,
and nations, and cares eno tgh; that, though lie
is at war for on tons independent of ilio Treaty
of the 6th July, he w.li no' depart from the
stipulations of <i, which he will fulfil in concert
widi liis Allies.
In conclusion, he declares that he will not lay
lawn his arms till lie has obtained tho results
stated in this Decl >r tlion ; and he expects diem
front tho benedictions of Hun to whom justice,
and a pure conscience, Imvc never yet appealed
in vain
Extraordinary supnlcmmt to the Russian State
Gazette.
Berlin, May 4.—We have received to-day
from Pe orsburgh the following official docu
ments :—
MANIFESTO OF HIS MAJESTY THE
EMPEROR.
By the Grace of God, wo Nicholas I.,
Emperor and Autocrat of till tho Ru- sias die.
dee.—The Tony f B irehafest, concluded in
ho year 1812, with the Ot oman Poite. after
having been fur sixteen years tho subject of
reiterated disputes, now no longer subsists, in
spite of all our exertions to maintain it, and
preserve it from all attacks. The Porte, not
satisfied with having destroyed the basis of that
Treaty, now defies Russia and prepares to
wt o 'gainst i a Beltum ad interna* ionem; it
summ uises its people in a mass to arms—accu
ses Russia of being its irreconcileabto enemy,
and tramples under foot the Convention ol
Ackerman,and wi h that all pto:eding Trea
ties.
“Lastly, tho Porte does not hesitate to de
clare 1 that it accepted the conditions of this
pence only as a mock to conceal its intentions
and jts preparations' for a new war. Scarcely
is'tbist remarkable confession made, when the
rigritSof the Russian flag are violated—'he ves
sel* wb.ch. it covers detained—and tho cargoes
made the prey of a rapacious and arbitrary
government. Our subjects found ihomselves
compelled to break their oath, or to leave with
out delay a hostile country.—The Bosphorus
is closed—-our trade annihilated—our southern
provinces deprived of the only channel for the
expiirt.n iou of_ heir produco, nro threatened
wnh incalculable injury. Nay more! At the
moment when the negotiations between Russia
ind Persia are nearly concluded, u sudden
change on tho part of the Persian government,
checks the course of them. It soon upears
that iho Ottoman Porto exerts itself to make
Persia . waver, by promising powerful aid;
i imug in husic tho troops in tho adjoining pro-
s, und preparing to support, by a threat
ening attack, this treacherous hostile lunguage.
This is tho seruu of injuries of which Tutkoy
has been guilty,Trout the conclusion of the trea
ty of Ackermuuu up to this day, and this is un
happily iho fruit of iho sacrifices and tho gener
ous exeitions by which Russia has mcossaii ly
enuudvuuul to maintain peace with u neighbor,
iug na;ion. 1
“Bin all patience has hs limit. The honor
of the Russian name—ihe dignity of the empire
—iho inviolability ot its rights, and that of our
national glory, have prescribed to us the bounds
of it.
“It is not till aftor linving weighed in their
fullest extent tho duties imposed on us by mi'
perativo necessity, und inspired with the great*
est confidence mi die ju.lieo of our cause, that
we have ordered our army to advance, under
the Divine protection, against an enumy who
violates the must sacred obligations of the law
of nuuuus.
“We are convinced that our faithful snbjocts
will join until our prayers, tho most ardent
wishes, tor the success of our enterprise, and
that they will implore the Almighty to lend his
support to our brute soldiers, and to shed his
Diviiio blessing ou our arms, which are dcs-
imuJ to defeiul our liberty, religion, and our
beloved country.

’Tis but a few years siucc th>* virulence

tectors.. In every tiling that may be required
of yen, endeavor to cu-oporute in the measures
of liis Majesty, and give renewed proofs of
yaur ancient a Mention to tho power which
lias continued to watch over your rights. The
war wliicl* Russia has just declared against the
Ottoman Port aims only at satisfaction for the
most justly founded complaints mid the fulfil
ment of tho most solemn treaties. Conduct
yourselves as peaceable spectators of hostilities
which need not affect you : bo easy with respect

your duties as you have hitherto done. The

object, the Emperor has commanded mo.im
mediately to appoint in the principalities a pro
visional central administration, at the head of
which the Privy Councelior Von P.tnlim is
placed. Honored by the confidence of his
Majesty, he will henceforth exorciso amongst
you the functions and authority of President
of Moldavia and Wullachia. My most zealous
care shall he exerted to secoud him in liis labors:
the stricest discipline shall be observed in all

Iichia—my august monarch flatters himself
with the hope that the war in which he is com
pelled o enter will deprive you but for a short
time of tho advantages of peace. This war it-
of party feeling would have expelled from the
dignified wisdom of a legislative assemblage
an industrious guardian of n free press; and
even at the present we sometimes find the
freedom of competition among industrious nr-
tizuns and mecfaancics trammelled by the par
tiality of party influence, and a profuse use of
the public coffers thrown into the scale of a
chosen few, to foster the panders of political
treachery. Bitter indeed was the. acrimony and
spirit winch pervaded out own state, during
the late Presidential contest, and the press, in
some instances, was found prostituted to pro
mote the uuhallowed interests of designing
aud factious intriguers, with a candidate before
the people from the political ranks of Georgia,
whose faculties were paralized, anT energies
destroyed by a disease, which was artfully
concealed from the people by their own lead-

peace, and wdl secure to you the advantages ot J 6
a legal mid durable existence, which shall be
founded on stipulations that willfully efface the
traces of tho evils that you have endured, and
give you ihe- certainty of happiness in future.
Obedience *to tho authorities,‘oblivion of the
inimical feelings fhat have arisen from anarchy,
the sacrifice of private interests to the good of
a Cause in which they are all blended—these
are tho duties, tho voluntary nnd unanimous
performance of which I recommend in the name
of the Emperor. Behave in a manner answer

THE POLITICAL PRESS.
Tho multiplication of newspapers for the
last five years, has increased in a ratio altogeth
or unfiretfffdentcd in any former age; many
have * risen to an ephemeral existence,
and have passed away, entirely forgotten; but
whilo this has been the case, hundreds have
lived to sustain a permanent character, and
becomo tho organs of disseminatiug useful
knowledge; opening a field for tho discussion
of public rorn and manners; and a faithful
watch-tower against the designs of the nmhi
tious, who seek the highest privileges of the
government, the suffrages of a free people.
In a government like ours, where talent and
murit aro the only distinctions known ns a
qualification for office, and where its tenure
emanates from the great body politic, the people
themselves, a free press becomes the greatest
safe-guard to protect us from the wily purposes
of political, intriguo and ambition—while tho
virtuous statesman thus finds the record of his
integrity carried to the homes and bosoms of
his constituents and fellow citizens; tho factious
demagogue sees his schemes of political treach
ery and jntrigue exposed—ho shrinks from
tho virtupus scrutiny of the press, and sinks
under thtHidiura of his insulted country, as the
worm cringes beneath tho noblo tread of tho
superior lord of creation.
It require? but the experience of daily ob
servation to .'sustain these facts. Honco it is
obvious, that the press, sustained in the purity
aud freedom of our republican institutions, be
comes tho very bulwark of our liberties, and
should bo used with atf unerring regard
virtuods principles, and as an advocate for the
soundost political integrity.
The^ republican school of’98, first drew tho
liuo of demarkat on between the two great
political parties, which since that time havo at
different periods each predominated in tho
councils of the Nation—but with tho abolition
of tiio Alton and' Sedition, or as it was more
familiarly termed tho gag law, the thon domin
ant, or Fedora! party have been gradually
diminishing in numbers, or with tho cloak n
political* hyptacrity have'sheltered their teams
pride, entered warmly iuto tho contest, and the
result wus, the entire defeat of the southern
interest.
But whilo we say this has been the case, it is
with the honest hearted pndo of freemen, we
notice, that the work of political regeneration
is rapidly spreading—the present polaical cam
paign promises much for the success of virtu
ous principles, and the downfal of the bargain
ami salt sy.em may be confidently predicted.
The great and virtuous Jackson, a remaining
stem of revolutionary patriotism, yet lives to
guide the destinies of the nation—and with the
fairest prospects of success; pledged to no men,
and influenced by no desire other than that of
promoting by every honest mens, the geheral
good, he stands before this groat nation, one uf
the most patriotic of her sons, and one of the
soundest of her statesmen.
TRIAL FOR MURDER.
The State, This case was brought up for
vs. | trial on the 17th inst ini.at an
Joel Janes, > adjourned term of Jasper Su-
and 1 peiiur Court, his Hen. J. C.
Keziah Orr. 3 McDonald on the bench.—
From iho nuveliy and atrociousness of the
crime, much excitement had been produced
in the community, and public opinion was
exasperated against the prisiuuers.
The defendants were charged with having
produced the death of Anna Jones, the wife
of Joel Jones, by whipping, and other ill treat
ment. It appeared, that the deceased had
been for a long time in a deranged state of
mind; sho was of a sickly constitution; was
troublesome, uud some ones mischievous; that
(he prisoner Jones, her husband, nnd Kuzi.di
Ot r, were living in a state of adultery; that the
deceased lived in a small house by herself, and
that early in Ociobcr lust she departed this
life. The following is a brief summary of the
evidence taken on the trial:
On bohalf of the prosecution,— Wm. Dobty
sworn. It has been some time since, I believe
in tho year 1826,1 lived at Jonos* House, aud
in the spring of 1827, I was there, tho treat-
muni wus abrupt; die old lady seemed not sen
sible uf some things; send her to tho
spring sometimes and she did not gut
back. Beat her with a switch; I have seen
her ruu out of the house, when she was beat
with other things; saw bruises on her arms,
when sho run out of tho house; they (prison
ers) drove her off out of the way sometimes;
she would sometimes stay, out a day and night;
she had a-ltttle house shestnycdin if she chose;
she complained of being sick most always;
have seen both the defendants whip her in
this county. I often threatened 10 prosecute
them if they did not desist from such treat
menu

morning early; I live near them; we both use
wa or out of the same spring; I liavo heard
