ty; but because of the expenses of the

war, it is said that 10 millions of ducats

or 5 millions of pounds sterling, arc to be paid. This is thought to be a sum beyond the ability of Turkey to pay, even in annual instalments, the resources of the sultan having been much exhausted by the war. It is said that this last stipulation was agreed to be kept secret, at the special desire of the sultan, lest his subjects might regard him vs a tributary to Russia, and lees respect his power than heretofore. The British- papers seem generally satisfied with the conduct of Russia: bu' as observes the N. Y. Commercial Ad

"the peace will be a gro33 deception, and even an auxiliary to the Russians in the

"By the other supplementary treaty the regulations for the internal government of the principalities nre fettled on such a footing, by giving Russia an equal voice with Turkey in the nomination of Ilospodars, and depriving the sultan of the arbitrary power of deposing them, together with other provisions in a similar spirit, that there is no danger of Russian supremacy in Moldavia and Wallachia suffering any material diminution, even if by the immediate pay

Same of our over sagacious and wi?e politicians appear very anxious to impress the people, with the belief, that there is a Calhoun party organizing itself in Pennsylvania, with a view to bring Mr. Calhoun forward as a candidate for the Presidency . If such a party exists, we confess ourselves entirely igikorant of the fact, and our opinion i that it only d es exist, in the imagination of speculative and dissatisfied politicians, and perhaps a few others, who they have operated on. The policy pursued by the present national administratron,we bcliex e has thus far,afforde very general satisfaction to its fritnds, and should it continue to do so, we have little doubt that General Jackson (pro

vided he will consent, as we tondiy hope he may,) w ill again be the candidate of the democratic party for another term.

But the blow is not the less decisive, nor the invasion less complete, in spite of England and of ourselves." It is variously said that many of the Turkish fortresses are to be dismantled, provided for in the secret articles of the treaty.

commerce for Russian subjects throughout the Ottoman empire, and for the tree navigation of the Black Sea. It declares the passage of the canal of Constantinople and the Dardanelles free and open to all flags not at war with the Porte. Art. 8 stipulates for the payment by the

Porte of the sum of one million five hundred thousand ducates of Holland, for the purpose of liquidating the claims of the Rus sians for depredations on their coorimerce since 1806. Art. 9 stipulates the payment of a sum of money, to be hereafter agreed upon, as an indemnity to Russia for her expenses in carrying on the war. The remaining articles relate

to the details of arrangement for restoring things to a state of peace. It appears from this treaty, that Rus

territory, and the emperor has granted the Porte much more liberal terms of peace than was expected. The opening of the Black Sea is considered a common benefit to all the civilized world, and the humiliation of the Turks will put an end to all hope on their part of recovering their dominion in Greece.

duct. The aqueduct across

the Allegheny river to this city, is completed. On Tuesday the water was let into it; and three packet boats and two fiat boats, one of which was loaded with

salt, crossed over through it to the basin in this city in the presence, and to the admiration of from five to seven thousand

spectators, liotn sides oi the river as well as the tow path of the aqueduct,

were lined with people. The several volunteer corps paraded on the occasion, and a national salute was fired by the artillery company. The connection of the Pennsylvania canal with this city is now completed. This event is one which will doubtless form an important epoch in its prosperity. The aqueduct is a grand and very substantial piece of workmanship. There were no indications of leakage,' but on the contrary it appeared perfect

ly water tight. Its great strength was

proved by the fact, that during the passage of the boats, in addition to the weight of the water and boats, the whole extent of the tow-path of the aqueduct was lined with spectators, yet no acci dent occurred, nor the slightest appear" anceofthe want of strength in the struc ture was evinced.

A chained Jlsa. We have often heard it asserted, but we never witnessed the fact until yesterday, that it was possible

to make a chain and collar to conune s. ilea in a manner simitar to chaining up a dog. An ingenious tnechanick, as he himself relates, of the name of Jones, & native of Hertfordshire: is at this time in thi3 town, with an exhibition cf the chaio and flea ; the iatter, we clearly saw, fixed to a kennel, formed of a cherry stone. The chain consists of S3 circular linksvisible to the naked eye, and the collar

may easily be discerned through a mag nifier of no greater power than a commoo reading glass; the whole is so light, that the flea runs and gambols as though il was of but littie encumbrance, The same person exhibits four gross of teaspoons, 60 small as to be packed in a. cherry stone. He sometime since made a common fine working needle to unscrew, and in which was secreted a pair of scissors: with all this ingenuity, the exhibitor does not nppear in affluent circumstances, but quite the contrary.
