We have received ilocuinen'* which]
may be considered <* ati official exposition j
of the system ami conduct of Russia with
respect *n her differences with Turkey
!t is a- follows:
D \M HJWH, July 4.
“The p.dicy of thp Russian Court is (hat
! of peace, because a war it. the East would
!>-.id to consequences the extent of which
it is impossible o foresee, and a permanent
state of p<*acc alone can insure the welfare
of Eii’ope and the happiness of nations
Russia hopes to recover, without arms, war,
and bloodshed the righ s founded on treat
ies, wlvch have been lost during the Greek
insurrection. As the demand of Russia
peruliary regarded the securities of rights
ol Christian subjects in the Turkish State,
there ran be no question raised about dis
engaging itself from the Greek cause
H ‘d the porfe respected those rigli’s, mide
war only no the rebels, and not confoun
ded the innocent with the guilty a breach
betweer the two powers would never have
takeo place.
“The great heart of the Emperor com
prehends every thing that humanity re
quires and that religion commands. A de
claration of war, instead of protecting the
Greeks, would only have, oeen the signal
fo 1 a vast massacre. To spare suffc ing
humanity torrents of innocent blood, to
stifle the seeds of disunion and misunder
standing between the Power*, to destroy
the germ of new wars, to obtain in pieute ,
the result of war, was the sole, the gptfer
ous,object of the Russian Cabinet. This
was the tendency of the pacific means; of
the piopobfiia of nteceiiion supported by a
powerful military force; moderation afone
could leap to-the attainment of ‘his object,
and every tiling gives reason to hope, that
we shall enjoy the fait- 01 those exertions’
•The high-minded Alexander* there
fore, will not disengage himself from the
cause of the Greeks, bi>t forever secure fly
hem. hy guarantee, wha* humanity and
religion command, what and treaties
require, as soon a* ‘he direct negotiations,
now preparing ’ Vienna, have begun, I
is to be expected that the Other Powers
will second his amicable intentions, and.
with <he harmony that now exists between
all the Courts, it cannot be doubted, tha
thi- desirable object will be attained, if
the Divan remains fanhft.l to the disponi
titm which it l as lately shewn.
‘■l* is clear that the threatening atti
tude of its neighbours, the energetic lan
guage of'he nudiato!*, ard abo*e all the
union and harmony of all the European!
Powers, have produced a great change in
its way of thinking. Hie troops in Mol
davia and Wtllirhia, what ever may be
publicly reported on the subject, wdl be
withdrawn. A declaration fit amnesty to I
favour ot the Greeks is likewise to b<- ex-1
pected a- soon as they have laid down
their anns We havq reason to believe,
that prelimina y steps to this end are al
ready taken

prevails to s greater or less extent in the western region generally, but which has been c i-. ,*

care has been obf-erved, that every position be conformable to the last astronomical obseivai|
or in the absence of these, to the result oftlie bes> itineraries and other authentic document*
Equal care has been exerted bv the compiler, not - o insert obscure villages, nor places whise
positions are doubtful, choosing rather to leave a vacant spate on this Map, than todrav, f.-im•
suspicious sources. 1 able lai ds, chains of mountains, and other features belonging to ti e nat. f
oral geography of this continent, are indicated in a manner as far as practicable, to show the®”
difference of elevation and relative importance, by which works on natural and civil history will

as most maps erroneously represent it ,u *
In constructing the first Map of thi Continent, many parts of which.being fn.ni orgir.al
manuscripts the author has had to contend with more than the usual inconveniences incident
to works of this nature The surveys and explorations of. minor districts, used ii. its formation
were made in detached parts by different individuals. The courses of lines art generally miy
by the needle, without ascertaining or paying due regard to ti e variation which differs t
different times and places The distances are frequently measured without proper care amUo
curacy. Flans of these detached surveys, though in many instances cen ter, and in most, per.
haps, exhibiting precisely the relative proportion of die tract survey ed, yet seldom agreeViri”
plans of ad joining places To those who are experimentally acquainted with the difficulties ip
tending the formation of a good general map from materials so exceedingly discordant in their
nature, no apology need be made for inaccuracies, from wt ich the author is unwilling to ii duige
the hope that his map is wholly exempt. To render it worthy the patronage of an enlightened
public, nothing has been omitted by die author that would make the present map wh.it in ear.
nestly desires, one of lasting utility and convenient reference; the great care in collecting ti e
materials for its construction, the accuracy and perspicuity with whico the author lia* endea
voured to execute it, and its convenient size, will, it is hoped, insure the accoaipiisiiaem
of both these ob jects.

NEW • AUGUST, 22.
Fae —A fire bioke nut last evening in
the wooden store house of Henry Waring
Esq, on hi* wharf at Brooklyn, opposite
the Coffee House slip, consisting of two or
three extensive buildings and sheds, and
one 01 two small dwelling houses, which
were entirely consumed in a short time,
together with the bouses on the opposite
side of the street, being two or three in
tiumber, of inconsiderable value.
An extensive store fire proof warehouse
on the south side of the wharf, withstood
the intense heat of the flames and was sa
ved. The buildings were leased and oc
cupied by Capt. Merry and \Y r aite.
D was computed last evening, that the
buildings contained about 12,000 barrels
naval stores, and probable 1200 to 1400
bales of cotton, none of which was saved.
The amount of loss, including the build
ings, cannot be much short of gloo.ooo.
This great body of combustible rnat’er,
rendered the flames peculiarly grand, and
illuminated all the east part of the city.
A dens volume of smoke ascended from
them in the rtiost majestic form.
It is believed the fire was-cauaed by an
incendiary, as no fire or candle has been
permitted in the premises for sevetai’
months.
Spaih. —Gibraltar paperß, received at
Boston to the 1 ltb July, contain accounts
from the Spanish capital which state, that
j four battalions of the guards, comprising
about 1800 men, marched oft of Madrid
on the Ist July, and on the 4-h were at the
Prado. Their object was to
royal authority in Navarre, &c. The gov
ernment had sent Gen. Morillo to prevail
upon them to return and submit to the con
stituted authorities. He had made several
offers to them to come back, but without
success. The town council of Cadiz made
known to the inhabitants tin the 6th, that
a committee had been appointed to inspect
the fortifications of their island, in otder
tbat“ stronghold of liberty” impregnable
under any circumstances.
An interesting trial wa9 commenced
this forenoon in the Municipal Court before
Judge Quincey- It is an indictment of
oneSider for an assult and battery on a
respectable physician of this City for the
purpose of extorting money from him,
when under a state of duress and fear of
his life, in case of refusal, The prosecu
tion is conducted by the Solicitor General
for the Government—and the defence is
managed by Messrs Moore fit Dunlap
The peculiar character of the transaction,
tha nature of the defence, and the situation
of the pa’ ties, have called foith on the 00
j caaiori, an unusual degree of excitemrntlf
is obviously improper for us at present 1#
