The intelligence is very uninteresting, Russia, il appears, after all the "dreadful note of preparation," leaves the Greeks to theiw- tales and to the vengeance of the incensed Porte. Even Russian vessels were loading with grain for Constantinople, and insured at Lloyd's.

The i Patriot remarks on this subject, "We pledge ourselves to this fact--that the distress, in extent and degree, even in those parishes where it was supposed to be less severe, is frightful and appalling and that scenes have been witnessed by the visitors, which so far exceeded any idea a had been formed of what human a could endure, that the beholders were obliged to retreat in dismay and horror. We speak not of a solitary instance of wretchedness such as we have described, but of masses of it, where human beings had not tasted food for six and i hours, and where, sixteen were only preserved by some morsel of food administered by creatures almost as palid and wo-worn, but who had just, as many rags as enabled them to crawl out without outraging decency."

Two of the party entered the house bv stratagem, unsuspected, and the remainder immediately pressing a the gang within, consisting of six or seven persons, was completely surprized. They were evidently at work when the house was first entcied, but broke off, aiid were busied in attempting to conceal iheir implements when they were discovered The upper story of the house was found to be a complete shop, lilted np with work benches, On these were several tools, a a used for a i and on the floor was a quantity of trimmings, or scraps of paper, cut from the ed ot bank notes.

was also a large Hat stone, upon which they were i i or mixing ink when surprized--and a number of phi- aK containing mixtures of different kinds. Un- i a however, ihe party had not time to i their search, for it was soon discover, ed that an alarm was given to Sturdivant's confederates in the. neighborhood, and itwaaexpec ted they would attempt to rescue him The apprehending party, being only eight or ten strong, therefore withdrew with. Roswell Slur- divant and his brother, Merrick Sturdivant, who alone were named in the warrant. They weie pursued by a party of Stuidivanl's friends, well armed with rifles, for aboot 20 miles, but they fortunately reached Potts', ten miles from this place, before the pursuing party came up.

Here they were surrounded by these vil lains a whole night, and threatened with an attack which, however, was fortunately not a resolute deportment of the party in the house being such as lo intimidate i pursuers. On Sunday i the prisoners were conveyed to this place, where they are now closely guarded. It is ascertained that the scoundrels who pur.ued were at first niao in and that tlitir party re uiluiced by moie Jacob i UUi UelK-n, Sltphtn Siunlivant, i this gang.
