The intelligence from Germany, Tur key and Russia, in these papers, is deci dedly warlike ; indeed every post brings some additional fact leading to the conclu sion that war between Russia and Turkey is not only inevitable but on the eve of com mencing. The cause of the Greeks still triumphs, I wnerever iney meet tneir oppressors, n is but to conquer them. The Persian inva sion is said to be more serious than was at first thought ; and it is reported, on more authorities than one, that Bagdad had been taken. An article from Vienna states, that the pacific exertions of the English and Aus trian Ambassadors at Constantinople hue been counteracted by the advocates for "war, which now seems inevitable between Russia and Turkey, though perhaps no very active operations may take place un til the spring. A letrer from Trieste repeats the state ment that Bagdad has fallen. The Crown Prince of Persia is said to have entered the city at the head of 10,000 cavalry ; but it is not mentioned when the event took place. The Biussels papers state, that prepa rations are m 'king for putting the Marine of the Netherlands in a state of equip ment ; and afraid, we presume, of exci ting any alarm in consequence, it is ad ded, that similar measures are adopting in France and Spain. Is the King of the Netherlands y;o"mg to assist his magnani mous ally, the Emperor of Russia, in any of his projects ? LATEST FROM FYGLAXD. FIiO: THE CHAllLESTOV COlTItlEn, FEB. 4. By the ship llayard, Capt. Vandyke, arrived on Saturday evening, in 33 days from Liverpool, we have received our regular files of London Papers to the 27th, and Liverpool to the 2(Jth of December. Our files by the Baijard furnish an unbroken series of intell; nee up to the 29th December but the accounts by her from Ireland, are not so late as those received at this oiYicc by the Fa- ma. Wir had not actuallv commenced between isia and Turkey, but on all hands it appears oe considered as inevitable. to At the same time, the Greeks appear, unassis ted, to be making- bend against the Mahometans, and, w.'. arc sorry to say, have been guilty of the most horrible excesses towards the Turks", partic ularly at Xavarin and Tripolizza, after those pla ces had capitulated. Women and children were in.isacivd by them, after having surrendered ; and some of the circumstances are said, in the London papers, to have been too atrocious for publication. A civil war had commenced in Spain, and that ill-fated, distracted country, appears distined to be the theatre of the most appalling scenes. A number of families passed through liavonne on the 7th December, on their way to France whither they were flying- in consequence of the disturbed state of the interior of Spain. They reported that no persons of property were safe, unless they embraced the popular cause ; that open rebellion had been declared in many pla ces; and that there is a complete system of cor respondence among the disaffected from cne er.d of th kingdom to the other. Private letters from Lisbon, to the 12th I)e cembcr, represent the situation of Portugal as very precarious. Assassinations and robberies are frequent 3S4 of the former are reported by the Intendant of Police to have taken pL.cc vir.ii the last ten weeks.

From our Papers by the Bayard. LIVERPOOL, DEC. 12. Turkey. The most prominent news of the week is the invasion ot the Ottoman Empire bv the Prince of Persia, with an army of 110,000 men. Whether this has been on the sole motion of the poli tics of the Persian Court, or by the se cret agency of Russia, bound, herself, bv the conflicting opinions of the Allied fmm tHrccU imcrfcri docs m ,t howc pduced " sensation, anu? in distractc ot I - statc of Turkish affairs, mustonerate fa vourably upon the Greeks. ' December, 28. It is with pleasure we have to state, that the exports of Bri tish manufactures to the U. States, from this port, are at. present more considcra ble than has been known for some time past: and not on the manufacturers' ac- COunU but in consequence of orders from America, and, we believe, in many m- stances, the goods are paid for before they leave this country. SPAIN. I nri t-i i 1 C . The PallS IPS Oi Illday aild Satur day last, state, that an engagement had actually taken place between two reel ments, one belonging to the forces of the Government of Cordova, who had been . there recently by the Ministry; the other, under the orders of elasco, who commands at Seville, where the au thority of the Ministry has been resisted. It seems that the greater part of Andalu sia is determined to resist the authority 0 of the Ministry ; in this determination Corunna and part of Gallicia concurs; but according to the Universal, the great er part of Gallicia is determined to obey the presenl authorities. There can be no doubt that there prevails in Spain the deepest jealousy and distrust of the con duct of Ferdinand ; md certainly the ex perience the Spaniards have had of him, is calculated to inspire any thing but con fidence. His conduct on his restoration was marked by cruelty ingratitude and insensibility, rare even in the history of monarchs. He has sown the serpent's teeth ; he may perhaps be now destroyed by the iron hat vest. Letters from Barcelona to the 8th in stant, contain the gratifving intelligence of the fever in that town having entirely disappeared. The letters, however, still continue very much fumigated. By the accounts from Cadiz, the yellow fever at Port St. Mary, Xercs, and Lebri ja, remains pretty nearly in the same state. UU.SSIA, TLTtKKV, &c. The Petersburg Gazette of the -Sth, says, a As soon as the Turkish, Egyptian and Algerinc squadrons were united, the Captain-Bey caused all the Greek marin ers who had faithfully served until this day, to be put to death. All Macedonia is in the power of the Greeks, who fol low up and exterminate the detached corps which the Turks have there. The Encrlish government continues, in the Ionian Isles, to show itself extremely rig orous towards every thing Grecian. They have arrested the Archbishop Ma haras, who is devoted to his countrymen." They write from the Vistula under date of the 1st inst. that the Russian ar my, assembled on the Pruth, amounts to 180,000 men, and that fresh troops arrive daily. The numbers of the different troops of Russia, spread over that vast empire, is stated, in Brussels papers of the 21st of December, to be upwards of a million. The delay of Alexander, in declaring against the Turks, is attributed in this ar ticle, to the apprehension that his inva sion of Turkey would be a signal for the massacre of the Greeks, in those places of which the Turks retain possession. Letters, by the last Hamburgh mail, mentions a report prevalent in that city, that Great Rritain, Austria and France, had resolved not to interfere at present, between Russia and Turkey, but had formed a treaty of alliance, by which they had undertaken to co-operate in checking any dangerous designs of Rus sia, should that power be successful in its contest with the Turks. December 12. The Gazette of last night contains a Proclamation for further proroguing the meeting of Parliament, from the third of next month, to Tuesday, the 5th of February, when it is to meet for the dispatch of business. The same Gazette announces, officially, the appointments of Marquis Wellesley, Mr. Goulburn, and the other nominations which we have already mentioned. The Duke of Dorset, the Marquis Conyng ham, and Mr. Goulbourn, have been sworn of his Majesty's Privy Council. The Duke of Montrose is named Lord Cham berlain in the place of the Marquis of Hertford : and Marquis Convngham Lord Steward, in place of Marquis Cholmon dejey ; the Duke of Dorset accepts the office of Master of the Horse, vacant by the promotion of the Duke of Montrose to that of Lord Chamberlain. We understand that his Grace the Duke of Montrose resumes the Lieutenancy of Stirlingshire. It is supposed that the Marquis of Graham will be appointed Lieutenant of Dumbartonshire. Caledonian Mercury. It is slated, that Mr. Alexander lnnn? rem Such is the unexampled mildness of country's liberty; nd if its enemies be the season, that primroses and violets in at home, let them be pursued, and des lull bloom are now called about the streets troyed.' of London.

December 21.. Tremendous Gale. Last night it blew one of the most dreadful hurricanes that has been recollected for many years. In some parts, which were exposed to the fu- ry of the blast, trees and old buildings were blown down, and in many places stacks of chimnies were thrown into the street, by the violence of the wind. December 22 We have received Rrussels papers to the 10th inst. one of which contains an exposition ot the et - forts making by r ranee and Spam, to re - establish their naval forces ; it is also sta- ted, 44 that in the present situation of Eu- rone, the Government of the low coun- tries is resolved to place the military ma- rinc on the most respectable footing, by employing the time of peace, to restore it to its ancient splendour."

The Mar- quis of Buckingham is to be raised to the dicrnity of a Duke. Mr. Ereemantlc, we understand, is to succeed Mr. bturges llmirnn. at the Hoard of Control. There is not the least foundation for the confi- dent statement in the Morning Chronicle that the Marquis of Londonderry is to be called to the House of Peers. frankfort, dec 14. The last let- tcrs from Vienna are less pacific than the nrccedinc:. The treneral opinion at Vi- enna is stated to be, that war is inevitable, thoutrh some time may still be spent in nCCOtiatlons. 1 The positions of the Russian corps sta- tioncd on the frontiers towards Turkey are such that they naturally induce a be- Unfrtf ii-nr. A lpiirr which we have re- ceived from Poland, states, that the Rus- sian troops are concentrated within so narroyv a compass that they cannot remain J many yveeks in the same position ; they must either advance or retrogade. The subsequent advices from Gibral tar contain both new and important infor mation : Gibraltar, dec. 4. News was rc ceived here yesterday of some commo tions of a rebellious character in Valen cia. The civil and military authorities have been long in opposition to each oth er, and the strongest animosities have pre vailed. It now seems that an affray oc curred at a public meeting at Villa Real, on the 25lh November, which was atten ded with disastrous consequences. Three persons were killed by the soldiery, who fired upon the populace, and ten or twelve were wounded. What produced the dis turbance is not known, but a detail of the whole business was sent by both sides to Madrid ; and what seems a little inconsis tent is, that the civil authorities, who re fuse to acknowledge the present ministry, demand, nevertheless, satisfaction from the government. Private accounts received from Paris, of Thursday last, mention that intelligence had been received of some disturbances having broken out in Castile. It is also said that the friends of the Constitution arc fortifying the passes of Gallicia. perpignan, dec. 4 Most disastrous news reaches us from all pirts of Spain. In Lerida many lives have, it is said, been lost in a popular commotion ; the result was, that an address was cari-ied for the death of the Ministers, and the banish ment of the King. The following is a literal translation of a placard posted in one of the chief towns of Navarre : 4 Death or Liberty ! The people have a right to be free, and will be free ! Death to the King yvho opposes the freedom of his subjects ! Death to the Ministers who give bad advice to a Tyrant ! Long live the People.' Another is longer, and more argumen tative, contending that the Peopie only ought to make the laws, and that they should be the source of all power. A third contains this sentence : Per ish the wretch who would not die for his which are said to have been committed on tnat occasion have been exaggerated ; but tiie accounts which have arrived respect- jng tnc capture of Tripolizza, rest, we are actually concluded, between the Bey of Maiiia and Colocotoni, on the part of besieging army, and by the Turkish the Au 1 thonties on the part of the besieged The next day, many of the Turks, accom panied by their women and children, came out of the town, and were placed near the camp of the besieging army, by whom they were received in an amicable manner. Another body came out of the town the following day, and were permit ted to do so without molestation ; but on a sudden, part of the army took possess- ion of one of the gates, and also of the j tower, which was accomplished without J difficulty, or attempt at resistance. The Christian flag was then hoisted on the Tower, which became the signal of a treneral assault by the whole army. The whole night was passed in plunder and in I murder, without discrimination of sex or J age. 1 On the next day, nearly three thousand souls, the majority consisting of women and children, were marched from the Greek camps, where they had been stay I aiuc ji me iowu, wucic mcy were uu I .

The disturbances which are reported to have recently taken place at Constanti nople, were probably occasioned by the receipt of the intelligence of this massa cre.

SALISBURY: TUESDAY, FEBRUARY" 19, 1822. It is suggested to us, by a correspondent, that Post-Masters are not aware that it is their duty to report ex-ei-y contractor for carrying the mail, who neglects to have the Portmanteau or mail covered with oil clotht or bearskin, so as to pre serve the mails from wet. lie further states, that the Post-Master General has lately inform ed him, that contractors neglecting to have their mail bags provided with coverings as specified, are liable to very heavy penalties .- and as far as his acquaintance extends, our correspondent re marks, he knows of no contractor who is provi ded with either oil cloth or bear-skin. A w ant of compliance with this necessary regulation of the General Post-Ofuce, is the reason why pack ages and papers are so often mutilated, and their contents rendered almost, and in numerous in stances quite, illegible. This notice, it is to-be hoped, will put con tractors on their guard, as any further neglect may be attended with, to them, rather serious consequences. Post-Masters, also, if they did not before, will nou know their duty, and, wc presume, feel no hesitation in performing it. We received but two Intelligencers last week, one of the 17th, the other the 29th of January ; the intermediate ones had been prexiously received. This is not the first time we have had reason to complain of irregularity in the arrival of the Wash ington paper ; but very few times, in fact, has it arrived in due season since Con gress has been in session, and many num bers have not reached us at all. So with several other papers : though some of them, by the by, we are induced to be lieve, on special occasions are never for warded. Qui capitj ille facit. But the failure of most of the papers is to be attributed to a very different cause, to the irresistible temptations which " eld four barrels" in some Post-Offices, hold out to them, of a shelter from the pelt ings of the wintry storm, and a covert from the scorching rays of a summer's sun : and as an equivalent for these char itable offices, they furnish amusement and information gratis I Did these failures happen only during the winter, the season of storms and tempests, of swollen streams and impassable roads, yve should not mur mur, and much less accuse ; but it is not so: they are nearly as frequent in the most favorable seasons of the year, when the streams flow on in an even and gentle current, and the roads are'as smooth as a race-course. If we complain, therefore, it is not without cause. The Intelligencer of the 29th Jan. con tains only one day's proceedings of Con gress ; and they possess so little interest, that yve have omitted them to make room for the interesting intelligence from a broad. The ratio of representation, un der the new census, has not yet been fixed : that of 42,000, as agreed upon in commit tee of the yvholc, has been disagreed to by the House, by a majority of eight tbe Yeas being S2, Nays 90. The following is part of a law of the state of Connecticut, which went into operation on the first day of January, 1822. Something' similar should be the law in every state ; as such a re gistry, of births in particular, is often of great im portance to individuals in after life. And the registry of the deaths, specifying the age and sex of the individuals, furnishes data for curious and useful calculations, and ingenious and inter esting comparisons. " Be it ejiacted, Jc. That the Town Clerk or Register, in every town, shall record all marria ges, births, and deaths of persons in such town ; and parents and masters shall transmit to the Clerk of the town where they belong, the names of persons that are born or die in their respec tive families, and the time of their birth and death ; and executors and administrators shall transmit to the Town Clerk the names of the person they represent, within one month after such birth or death, on penalty of one dollar for every month after the first month for which it is neglected, to the treasury of the town ; and the Town Clerk of every town shall give an account of all such neglects as come to his knowledge to some grand juror in the town, who shall make presentment thereof to any justice of the peace in the county.
