Spain herself to ultimate independence. How unlike the conduct of those Powers which threatened with annihilation from the restless am of Lewis XIV. at the beginning of the last I aury, is the futile policy of the present race of the ,panish Grandees. When the Allies, engaged in )mon cause against the encroachments of an un ipled tyrant, perceived the superior abilities of alsonouots, he was constantly appointed Com ider in Chief of all the Allied armies—success victory rewarded the patriotic sacrifice of national partiality, and Europe was saved from subjugation ! How happy should we be to hail the prospect of' , Counsels in Spain ! but we have been so griev ty disappointed in every hope that we had fot med the patriotism of the higher orders in that coun that we almost despair. has been said, that General CASTANOS has arrived rallicia to assume the command of the army of that since and Asturias. Letters from Corunna to the ent . date of the 19th instant,. are silent on the sub , and therefore, we presume, the account is a mis tresentation. We believe the army of Estremadura be assigned to that Officer. Two Anholt Mails arrived this morning; but we regret to say that they bring no confirmation of the reports of an insurrectionary spirit having extended from Holland to the North of Europe. A letter from gallant Commander of Anholt to the Danish Go vernment, on the subject of the prisoners, will be rend ith much satisfaction ; because it shews that true bravery and the feelings of humanity are inseparable. 7 ormidable preparations for hostilities are making in 'urkey ; but it is really difficult to say what part will taken by the Porte ; if we can believe an article in the Hamburgh Correspondenlen, thea naval preparations least are levelled against England. The following are extracts from the Papers brought by the above Mails : PETERSBURGH, MARCH 27. His Majesty the Emperor set off in the morning of'' the day before yesterday for T weer. He will be absent ' nine or ten days. Count K Amenski (2) Commander Chief of the Moldavian army, has obtained per ,nission to retire until his health is entirely established. The General of Infantry, Geleniaktcheu Kutusow, is ippointed his successor. KONIGSBF.RG, MARCH 49. In conformity to the Convention entered into with 'ranee, regarding confiscated colonial produce, and ..:nelish manufactured goods, on the 23d, 25th, and 26th inst. all goods of English manufacture found on board the vessels sequestrated at Pillau, were publicly burnt, the value of which amounted to upwards of :wo millions of riz dollars. SWINEMUNDE, MARCH 27. We had this day a sight never before beheld at this dace. All the manufactured goods seized on board the sequestrated ships, were partly burnt, and partly 'woken to pieces. The whole gattison was under rms. The French Consul and the Magistrates of this place being also present. It may with truth be said, that this was one of the most costly bonfires ever made, as the value of the goods destroyed amounted to more than two millions of francs. To-morrow the French Consul sets off for the other Oarts of Pomera nia, in order there to put the same operations in force. COPENHAGEN, APRIL 6. The following is a literal translation of a letter which the English Governor of the Island of Anholt wrote on the 29th of March last, to Major-General de Telliquest, Commander-in-Chief in Jutland : " Sir —ln consideration of the bravery of which the troops of his Danish Majesty gave proof in their attack of this island, and which has excited my ad miration, I have opened a cartel and sent a Danish Officer, who is charged to propose the exchange of the 20 military prisoners whom I set at liberty upon their parole of honour, and whose arrival I beg you to acknowledge in writing, or if it is snore agreeable to you, to send me back an equal number of English" prisoners. Your Ercellegcy may be assured that the greatest care shall be taken of the wounde.d and every attention paid them. The Commander-in-Chief of the expedition, who died in the field of honour, where he manifested so much bravery, shall be to-morrow interred with all the honours due to a man who perished with so much glory. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) " J. W. MAURICE." CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 5. The Russian Generals have made fresh proposi. tions to the Grand Vizier, in order to terminate the war, but the Porte chews little anxiety to conclude peace. The army of the Grand Vizier has just been reinforced at the. Camp of Schumla, with 60,000 men, under the orders ofVehle-Pacha, Gallonge-Oglu submitted to the Porte, on the ap proach of the Captain Pacha, and is obliged to furnish a considerable corps for the ensuing . cana pai&n. The Turkish fleet will put to sea in the beginning of April. ,They work upon its equipment with the greatest activity. AU the Greeks capable of bearing arms are enrolled. FEBRUARY 25.—The Grand Seignior will, by the end of April, have brought his army to 150,000 men. Attention is particularly directed to a corps d'elite ; 50.000 chosen ttoops are expected from Asia. A new firman of the Grand Seignior, directed to die Chief Inspector of the Customs, forbids, in the ' 411 11611 plaposr, the Uri% Of COM 'even to th• ' 77 f: - . 7 1";" • •• , .. harbours iti the Black Sea. It has been discovered that corn has been carried to Rodosto, and thence conveyed to and sold in the country in the neighbour hood of the Black Sea. The Captain Pacha, who has returned from Nato lie, presses on with the greatest activity the labours in the arsenal. He is making the greatest exertions for the compitte equipment of a fleet of two three deckers, eight two-deckers, eight frigates, a great num ber of corvettes, brigs, &c. A division of the sailors intended to mut this fleet have arrived in a number of transports, and the remainder are soon expected.— Those that hay, arrived are now exercising in the Archipelago. COLBERG, MARCH ZS. The works for the defence of the shore of ti.:e Baltic, along the coast of Pomerania, against Ali• sudden attack of the English, were this day resumed ; among others, the harbour of Colberg visit be secured by a seven-gun battery, on a level with the water.

The remainder of the regiment, together with the 11th Dragoons, are lying in the neighbourhood of Plymouth, till the transports are ready. The 2d Battalion of the 71st infantry, at present at Glasgow, is destined to replace the 91st regiment in Canterbury, in about three weeks. Yesterday a very fine Troop of Horse Artillery, under Captain R. Macdonald, arrived in the Royal Artillery Depot at Canterbury, from Warley in Essex. The period of service of the Ist Last Kent Local Militia, will be cornplzted. on Monday next, when they will be inspected by Lieut.-General Nicolls, the Commander in Chief of the Kent District. During the time of exercise of the above corps, on Tuesday last, a melancholy accident was sustained by one of the privates, owing to the bursting of his comrade's piece, from its being incautiously overload ed, the splinters of which striking the pair fellow on the load, unfortunately fractured his skull. He im mediately received every requisite assistance from the Surgeon of the Corps, and notwithstanding the serious nature of the accident, he is apparently duing well. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
