Rassa, risAiel and staag by the TaskiSh ManifeElo has issued dcclaration of war upon independent grounds. This declaration appears io have been founded. first upon the Bon-fal6lment of the tremiy Of Alderman; on the alleged discovery oG a secret treaty between the Turks and Persans, against the Russians; ard lastly the tone of insalt and deh- anee in the Turkish manifesto. But notwithstanding this declaration of war by the court of St. Peters burgh, and the personal and independent grounds upon which it Is placed it Is stated that Russia is most deslrOus to obtaiR the concurrence of her al hes to those measures which, in the new state of Of circumstances she deems it necessary to adopt; and it is also added that fGreat- Britain and France shall abet her in her hostles against the Porte, she will submit to pledge not to seek in the pros- ecuilon of the quarrel any augmentation Of territO "; but if the other European powers shall stand a. !OOf, and withhold cooperation with her, she will then be governed in that as in every other respect by the circumstances which arise.

 Last week was forwarded to New-York from this town, clothing and provisions the amount of $413, for the relief of the suffering Greeks.

 To this has since been added contribution of $50 20, from the ladies and gentlemen of this town, for the purchase of Greek bibles and tracts to be dis tributed with the clothing.

 A box of clothing sent at the same time from Litchfeld South Farms valued at $126.
