We arc in formed, says the Constitutionncl, that an ofFensive and defensive al liance between Russia and Prus sia is definitely concluded; it is ad ded, that another Great Power, solicited to maintain an armed neutrality with 100,000 men, has acceded to this proposition. It is also reported, that the army of the Morea, under the command of Marshal Maison, is to be increas ed to 25,000. This display of strength may enable him to re store Greece to her ancient limits, comprehending Attica, Beotia, Thessaly, and Epirus. The news may serve to explain to us the irascible tone of the agents of Great Britain against what they call Russia and her adherents. That might still give us the tone of the military movements which are now going on in Piedmont. Russia and Turkey. At docs not appear that cither Prussia, Austria, England or France, sin" ly or united, can effect peace be tween Russia and Turkey. With respect to the Allies, Lord Abcr- j deen, Prince Polignac, and Prince Lieven, signed, on the 10th of November, a document confining the Republic of Greece to the Mo rea, and the Cyclndes. Russia has left about 25,000 men to the South of the Danube, of which 12,000 arc shut up in Varna, and the remainder have to contend with about 50,000 of the best Turkish troops still in the field, and which, in spite of the weather, continue their harrassing attacks and demonstrations. Berlin, Feb. The exchange of couriers between Berlin and Paris, London, Vicnnaand St. Pe tersburg has for some time past been extremely active. According to letters of the 23d ult. from Vienna, the sole object FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1829. of the count de Matuschwiez's journey to London is to declare to the British cabinet, that unless the Porte open the free navigation of the Black Sea and consent to pay large indemnities for the ex penses of the war, Russia will not accept the mediation of any pow er to treat for peace; and that she is fully prepared to resume hos tilities with greater vigor than ever.

Mr. Clay and Mr. Jldams. We are now compelled to give precedence to Mr. Clay in the arrangement of these worthies, botli of whom are givinc une quivocal demonstrations of their future political course. Mr. Adams, it appears, bears in mind the adage, that "one good turn deserves another" the people have "palsied" the turn of Mr. Clay in his favor, and the vc-turn of Mr. Adams is now developing itself. Mr. Clay is endeavoring to spout himself rnto lhe good graces of the people, and aided by the pen of Mr. Adams is doubtless san iruine of success. Wc have riven seve ral passages from the recent public speeches of Mr. Clay our readers are now presented with a political e3say in his favor, from the pen of Mr. Adams, embraced in a reply to a comnlimenla- ry letter from sundry citizens of New Jersey, as follows: "The other (Henry Clay") is equally worthy of the honor in his retirement from office; and Mr. Adams has written an answer and a very well written document it is, as to style and manner Mr. Adams defends his administration in modest terms, and gives a Li ographical sketch of the charac ters of the men composing his ca binet. As thev were of his own selecting, it may be inferred that the picture is highly colored it is highly colored throughout no one can recognise the glowing intellectual and statesmen-like portraits of Mr. Rush, Mr. Bnr. bour, and Mr. Southard, as they come from the pencil of Mr. Ad ams. But let us suppose that all their talent,industry, acquirements public spirit, and public usefulness, as claimed for them by the late President, are true and merited, how is it that the late administra tion, under such able men, should have been so full of error and of difficulty; so devoid of public util ity; and so decidedly unpopular with the nation?

A letter to the editors of the Baltimore American, from an in telligent resident correspondent at Rio de Janerio, under date of 5th of February, notices a report that the JMnperor ot Brazil had determined to declare war against Don Miguel of Portugal. The same writer says that much activ ity prevailed in the slave trade, in anticipation of its entire prohibi tion by Brazil in 1830. After that period it would be regarded as piracy by the government, and there would then be no sales for fast sailing vessels. A number of slaves had been captured by the British on the Coast of Africa. Letters from Buenos Ayres to the 2Gth Jan. received by the Em ma, at N. York, state that the country was in a most deplorable state. No ,ale for merchandise of any description. The curren cy was 310 per cent, below par. I gain and corruption. Before you, my fellow-citizens, in the presence of your country and Heaven, I pronounce that charge totally un founded. This tribute of justice is due from me to him, and I seize with pleasure the opportunity af forded me by your letter, of dis charging the obligation. Of my motives for tendering to him the Department of State when I did, let that man who questions them come forward. Let him look round among the Statesmen and Legislators of this nation and of that day. Let him then select and name the man whom, by his pre-eminent talents, by his splendid services, by his ar dent patriotism, by his all-embracing public spirit, by his fervid el oquence in behalf of the rights and liberties of mankind, by his long experience in ! he affairs of the Union, foreign and domestic, a President of the United States intent only upon the honor and welfare of his country, ought to have preferred to Ilenry Clay. Let him name the man, and then judge you my fellow-citizens, of my motives. The New York Enqiiirer remarks as follows on the letter of Mr. Adams: A self-appointed committee in New-Jersey, has written a compli mentarv letter to Mr. Adams on accompanied by a rentless spirit of proscription and (fall these things shall be done by secret, un seen and irresponsible advisers" why then it will be ill with us, and Mr. Clay will be a sound patriot? Truly "there is much virtue in an IF!" a man may in this way go on and make speeches without end! But it is thus that Mr. Clay gives a particular commentary on his text that it should be "the wish and aim of all to tranquilize socie ty and to restore its harmony af ter the decision of the majority has been fairly pronounced." "How infinitely superior (says the Mercury) is the conduct of Mr. Adams to all this, retiring to private life," as he has done: And how infinitely superior, and more touching, was the conduct of Gen. Jackson, on the 10th Feb. 1825. when he declined the honors ofa public dinner, offered him, two days after his defeat, by his sym pathising friends at Washington: "I cannot (says he) refrain from suggesting to you and my friend the propriety, perhaps necessity? of forbearing to confer upon nw at this moment, any such promi nent mark of your regard. cannot, 1 am persuaded, mistake my meaning. A decision of ft matter, about which much public feeling and concern have been manifested, very lately has taken place. Any evidence of kimlncs and regard, such as you propose, might, by many, be viewed a conveying with it, exception, mur muring, and feelings of compla,nr which 1 sincerely hope belong not to anv of mv friends.
