Our correspondent at Yarmouth informs us, that yester day, at two o'clock, a Dutch Schutz arrived off Scheveling beach, with a foreign messenger ; who immediately departed for town, with his despatches. The bark left Holland at four o'clock yesterday morning ; and at that hour, a rumour was current, that a Prussian force had entered the frontiers of Holland, to assist that Power in its present emergency. The opposition in France seems to be growing too pow erful for the ministry ; and we suspect that Louis PH IL LIPPE must either call to his councils, the popular men of the Revolution, or sit in jeopardy on his throne. War with Austria seems to be decided on ; but in the hands of the pre sent men, even that desired measure will not be popular. The accounts from Poland in the Austrian Observer re late to affairs already known ; but they describe the Russian head-quarters at Sienica, which we presume means Scluzyca, on the Vistula, near the Wyprz, and about seventy miles above Warsaw—a position apparently selected for crossing the Vistula. In his despatches, DEIBITSCH still calls the Poles rebels, and boasts of his refusals to listen to any overtures! The most important feature in the Foreign Intelligence of tilt day, is the Address from the revolted Russian General JLIiMoLoFF, dated at Samarad, on the Wolga, which, found on the body of a Russian officer killed in elate engagement in Poland, developes a state of affairs which was little suspected. We have had occasion more than once or twice, during the last month, to com municate paragraphs from the Continental Journals, representing that on the side of Turkey and Persia, the Rus sians had to apprehend danger; but we were rather inclined to consider such intelligence, as inventions founded on probabi lities, and obtaining verisimilitude, by being congenial to the hopes of the relators. Even if we had credited that Turkey and Persia, hearing of the embarrassing war with Poland, had taken the opportunity to com mence hostilities with their late tormentors, our con jectures would not have anticipated any defection among the Russians themselves—much less have led us to conjecture, that attempts should be made to rear the standard of Revolution, on the banks of the \Volga. A man of genius, however, at once acting on the van quished, but existing, enmity of the Persians, and on a rebellious spirit—if he can produce such among the Russian Military—might not only occasion a diversion, favourable to the Poles, but carve out, we conceive, an Empire for himself. When we recal to mind the mystery which attended the unsuccessful insurrection at Petersburgh, soon after the ac cession of NICHOLAS, and all the details of its curious his tory, which we believe can be found no where so well, and minutely given, as in a continued article, in that useful and well-conducted miscellany, The United Service Journal, we do not think it impossible, or even improbable, that present circumstances may elicit more of a serious revolutionary, or disaffected spirit among the Russians, than appears generally suspected. We have always given it as our opinion,that theAI7TOCRAT'S militaryenterprise was essential to the security of his military power; and such has been the case in all past history, wherever the civil power of a Prince, rested on the points of his soldier's bayonets. It is well known, that such is peculiarly the state of a Russian Monarch. The Aristocracy can only be rendered submis sively iunoxious to the Monarchy, by satisfying and em ploying their ambitious energies in war and its booty : so it always was, and so it always will be, in every state where there is no people—that is to say, until the mass of indivi duals, which form the real physical force of the state, come to the knowledge that they are not cattle, to be directed according to the volition of their drovers; but human beings, with intellects to govern their own actions. Dur ing the war in Turkey, some of our Readers may probably remember, that such were our arguments for maintain ing, that mere vain ambition of territorial conquest, did not alone propel to that enterprize ; and we are still of opinion, that military exploit or enterprize, is as essential to the tranquil possession of the Cz A a's throne, as legislative improvement, and popular representation, have now become essential, to the tranquil possession of those thrones, situated among people mole advanced in general intelligence. The Warsaw gazette sanctions the authenticity of the Proclamation which has occasioned these remarks.-1 The veteran Russian General JERMOLOFY, long acted in Georgia against the Persians; and commanded—if we do not fail in recollection—a branch of the army under General PAsitEw vrcsu, which co-operated with General DIEBITSCH, in the late Turkish war, by restraining the Persians on the Asiatic side. There is, therefore, every . _ . probability now, that the Russian Government win sally have more to occupy itself, than any Government in Eu rope ; and that the Poles may derive advantage from its perplexity. Russia, in fact, seems at length likely to share the fate of all overgrown Empires, and to become another example of the hazard of extensive conquests. Frankfort Papers, Papers, dated the 2d April, are received this day. They contain no additional intelligence of importance. The follnwing is the only selection worth quoting: BERLIN, MARCH 24. Accounts from Posen say, that Field-Marshal Gueisenau has sent Major Brand to the Russian bead-quarters. It is worthy of remark, that the Polish civil authorities, in the pro vinces occupied by the Russian army, take the oath of allegiance to the Emperor, as King of Poland; and that his imperial Majesty has lately conferred on some Generals, the Polish Order of the White Eagle.— Frankfort Papers, April 2. We have Lisbon Gazettes this day to the 27th March. They do not convey any political news; but present to us the subjoined laughable notice about MIGUEL : LISBON, MUCH 20. Last Friday, at noon, his Majesty our King, with a few attendants, went on horseback to the Castle of St. George, and, actuated by the sen timents of generous clemency that distinguish his Royal heart, ordered the prisoners who were there confined for desertion, to be set at liberty, exhorting them to practice that loyalty which is the first characteristic and duty of the Portuguese nation. The most enthusiastic acclamations of fidelity and gratitude hailed this noble exercise of one of the most exalted attributes of Majesty. On the sante occasion, his Majesty was pleased to stand godfather to the son of an officer of the bth regiment. His Majesty also desired to taste the soldiers' provisions, manifesting, like a true father of the Portuguese, the wannest solicitude for the hap piness and comfort of his loyal subjects, who have the honour to be em. ployed in his service. His Majesty was received in the fort with a royal salute, and colours flying. At night, the fort was brilliantly illuminated, as well as many houses in the streets through which his Majesty returned to Queluz. In a subsequent column we introduce an account of the great national meeting at Dublin, which for several weeks has been announced by the LORD MAvein, with an emphasis befitting the object. National was it proposed to be, but NATIONAL it cannot be called : for there was not one Nobleman present—not one Bishop—not one Judge—not one of the Officers of State—and but one Member of Parliament, Mr. O'CoNN ELL ! Was it that their consciences could not listen, or their tender feelings endure the recitals which were expected to be made ? In consequence, the whole of the subscriptions did not amount to £BOO ; or half-a-crown a piece to the 6,000 families, described as starving in one district only Is it that their petsonal extravagance in foreign countries disables the proprietors from making returns to those whom they have embeggared ? Or is it that they object to the false legislation which withholds a liberal system of poor laws, to which all would cheerfully contribute, if all con tributed alike ? If so, then the Legislature ought, as its very first act, to indulge them; and the demands of justice ought to be met by doubling or tripling the assessments, on the property of non-residents ? In truth, this is a question which, when the parliament meets, ought to supersede every other. It is urgent distress AT HOME, and therefore ought to precede even the motion of Mr. BUXTON ; it is an obli • gation of public charity, and therefore ought to supersede even the question of political rights, connected with the Re form Bill. As a preliminary, 100,0001. should be voted in anticipation of the rates, to meet the demands of the mo ment ; while, if this be not done, then a suggestion of Mr. O'CoN NELL ought to be adopted, and the vast exports of provisions be prohibited for the next three months. CITY. ONE O'CLOCK. The only arrival of consequence is a Lisbon Mail this morning, which sailed on the 27th March; hut we are in formed that expresses are in town from Paris. Their con tents have not as yet been made public. Report, however says, the news is favourable. Consols,which left off yesterday at 78ii for the Account, opened at the same price ; and they are at present 79g. We understand that 150 of the blockade seamen have been entirely discharged by Government at Deal. This is a proof, at all events, that Government does not stand in need of seamen. The American papers, received this morning, give the following resolution, as passed by the House of Represen tatives, on the last day of the Session :--" Resolved, That •the President of the United States be requested to renew, and to prosecute, from time to time, such negociations 1% tth the several Maritime Powers of Europe and America, as he may deem expedient for the effectual abolition of the Afi l ean Slave Trade, and its ultimate denunciation as an act of piracy, under the law of nations, by the consent of the civilized world." CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Consols, which were done in the early part of the morn ing at 79j for the Account, are not so good at present, and have receded to 791 4 . In the foreign market no business of consequence going forward; foreign stock much the same as yesterday. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. BUMS ARRIVED Tens Dar—Dublin, 1 ; Waterford, 1 ; Lisbon, 1.

SPAIN. (From the Madrid Gamete.) The King, our master, has been pleased to transmit to me, under date of yesterday, the following Royal order : " The infamous and audacious incursions that the rebel faction has dared to consummate in various points of the king- d i dom, the unexpected events at Cadiz and at the Isla , and e multitude of criminal acts of simultaneous perpetration in several places, have fully convinced my Royal mind of the existence of a club of revolutionists, who, to put into execu tion the plans devised in other countries by the directors and agents of secret societies, omit no means of realizing the iniqui tous work thus prepared for them. True it is that the results of such attempts have been such as must necessarily have been expected from the valour and decision of my troops— from the frequently proved loyalty of the Royalist volun teers, and from the intimate conviction, that when recol !ening a period of odious memory, the whole kingdom feels that its felicity and tranquillity depend on the preser vation of its ancient and venerated laws, and on the throne on which GOD has placed me, and where the love and the true fidelity of my subjects have repeatedly preserved me. In every direction the revolutionary hordes have been beaten and destroyed. Every where loyalty has rejected with indignation the very Battering promises of perfidy; and, finally, in all parts the people have manifested their disgust at the plots and artifices which have been introduced for the purpose of seducing their love and respect from the government and religion of their ancestors. But notwithstanding these facts, by which I can deduce the ephemeral bases which sustain the calculations and machina tions of the ill-affected, a wise policy dictates to me moreover the obligation of preventing crime, and has convinced my royal mind, that to obviate the seduction of incautious per sons into a participation of its commission, the penalties hitherto established by the laws and royal orders against the perpetration of such atrocious and criminal attempts, are not, nor can be, sufficient to deter them, if anterior to their applica tion, the forms and solemnities adapted to tranquil times are to be observed. With this view, and considering the measures which, under parallel circumstances, I judged it expedient to decree a royal order on the 13th of January,lB24, I have in compliance with the opinion of my council of ministers been pleased to resolve, among other things, the following : " Art. 1. From this time forward, a permanent and executive mill. tart' commission shall be established in Madrid. " Art. 2. Similar commissions shall be established in the capitals of the provinces, where their respective Captains-General shall judge theta opportune. " Art. 3. These Commissions shall be composed of a president of the rank of klariscal de Campo, or Brigadier, of an assessor, who in Madrid shall be an Alcalde de Casa y Corte, at the selection of the Captain-Ge. neral of New Castile, and In the provinces, the Minister of the Chanctl leria or Audiencia, to be nominated by the President of the Commis sion, and of six suffragans of the rank of Brigadiers, Colonels, or Lieu tenant-Colonels, to he proposal immediately by the Captain-General of this province, and the others when they shall submit to me, for my sovereigr. approbation, the necessity er propriety of organising the tom. missions in the provinces under their respective commands. _ " Art. 4. To each of these commissions there shall be attached the number of fiscals and secretaries, as the amount of processes may Induce the President to deem requisite: he shall propose them to the Captain•Qeneral for his nomination, and they are to be of the rank of Captain. _ _ " Art. 6. All persons shall be subjected to the jurisdiction of these military commissions, who, from the date of their respective installa tions, do commit the crimes provided for in the articles 2,3, 4,5, 6, 7,8, and 9, of my sovereign decree of the lst of Oct. last ; it being the duty of the Superintendent-General of the Police to remit to the Cap tains-General (where they may be organised) the lists mentioned in Art. 6 of the said decree, for the application to the culprits of the pun ishment there expressed, with such others as they may deserve for former acts ; but the criminals referred to in the let article of the said decree, shall be punished in the mode and to the extent there ex pressed. " Art. 6. Likewise shall be subject to these commissions, those per sons, who from the date mentioned in the foregoing articles, shall de clue themselves, by anns or deeds, enemies to the legitimate tights of my throne, or partisans of the abolished constitution ; those who write papers or pasquinatles towards the same ends ; those who speak against my sovereignty ; those who seduce, or attempt to seduce, with words, promises, or gifts, others from their fidelity to my royal person, or use any means that has for its object to aid the plans of the rebel faction; and those who spread alarming intelligence relative to the forces of the same, or in any other way inspire fear in the minds of my pacific subjects. " Art. 7 to 14 relate to the forms of process. " Art. 15. The punishment of death, when confirmed, shall be carried into effect by the public executioner, should he be at hand t if not, by the troops, according to subsequent arrangements. " Art. 16. All persons who may be charged with the crimes within the cognizance of the military commissions as expressed, become de prived of their privileges, whatever may be their class, rank, state, and condition, without any exception; for this object, I set aside all orders, laws, and royal patents, which act in opposition to it. Should the cul prit be an ecclesiastic, it is my will, that although the commission shall institute his process, it shall be conducted according to my Royal de cree of the 13th of September, 1815, which remains in force. " Att. 17. States that the commissions are not to adjudicate beyond the crimes expressed in articles 5 and 6, with the circumstance of their being committed after their organization. "Art. 18. The ordinary civil and military tribunals shall continue to proceed with the processes already commenced, or that may offer themselves, relative to the aforesaid crimes, until the installation of the commissions, and they shall substantiate and close them with the great est possible brevity, in accordance with the laws and royal decrees; but if, after their organization, they shall have notice of any of the crimes expressed in art. 6 and 6 having been committed, they shall verify the facts, and shall refer them with the culprits, if they can be found, to the commissions. The police have likewise instructions to inform on all such cases they may hear of. " Art.l9. The foregoing disposure shall remain in force as long u the circumstances which have necessitated it may exist. " (Signed by the Royal hand.) (Countersigned) "ZAMBRANO. " Madrid, March P.,." (EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.) " MADRID, —Maims 24. " From 200 to 300 persona have already been arrested In Madrid; among whom, I am just informed, but have not time to ascertain the fact before the courier leaves, are the Dukes de Friu and de San Lo renzo, the Marquis de Santiago, Berin b as, Regato, besides many other persons of distinction and uote. The Government have, I understand, at last succeeded in discovering a plot which has been a long time in progression, in which these persons are implicated, and which had con. neilon with the Cadiz affair. I expect much will come to light in the course of a few days, as it is whispered that their ' cipher,' &c. is like wise in possession of the Government."

Sir,—The King our Lord having consented to this proposition among others which the Council of Ministers have submitted to His Majesty, he has been pleased to determine, that in each of the quarters into which this capital is divided, elute shall ►e appointed a military commandant of the rank of field-officer, an adjutant of the rank of sub altern, who having under their orders a scrjeant and twenty royalist volunteers of the battalion of this capital, shall maintain the tranquillity of their respective quarter. (Signed) " ZAMBRANO, " Madrid. March 11. Minister of War." ZXTRACT OP A PRIVATI LIITTIII. •' MADRID, Maims( 28. "An individual was arrested on the 24th, for crying ' Viva In lilierta' in a coffee.house, being in a state of intoxication. He was c.lndemned by the military commission, and will be executed to. morrow. This arbitrary and cruel proceeding combines one circum stance, which has no preeedent-.-namely, an execution in the h o l y week. The prisons are crowded, and we anticipate many similar scenes, u arrests are made every night. 7hougb part of the conspiracy is discovered, I am led to believe %Lase liberals, that the grand scheme remains intact. How true thi N nsTy be. T am not able to judge ; but certainly, since my residence in Spain. I have never observed this party express its hopes so sanguinely as at this moment, which is the more extraordinary front the check they have just received from the Government. At Cadix an extraordi nary vigilance is pursued by the pollee, particularly towards foreigners who arrive at that place. An English officer arrived there from GI. Walter, and notwithstanding the protection of the British consul, his papers were seised, and he was ordered away. He ultimately received petmlsaion to proceed to Seville, but was ordered to kccp himself at home (which was the consul's house) during his stay at Cadiz, on pain of being arrested, if met in the streets. This is occasioned by the public demonstration exhibited in favour of the refugees at Gi braltar, which had caused the government to look with much jealtursy upon Englishmen." From the Madrid Gazette of the 29th. On the 22d three of the accomplices in the aasauination of th, illus trious Governor, Don Antonio del Hieno y Oliver, were shot in the back. The police of Algesiras having discovered that three of lianzanares's companions, and among them his second in command, Don N. Cam. pos, were to embark from the neighbourhood of that town on the even ing of the 15th for Gibraltar, succeeded in apprehending the criminalr. There have besides been taken, by different parties of troops and royal. let volunteers, other seven rebels, who had dispersed and concealed themselves. These, with the three before mentioned, were conveyed to the Barrios, to be shot on the 22d, at 4 in the evening . IMPORTANT PROCLAMATION OF GENERAL JER MOLOFF. RUSSIA. We hasten to publish a proc'aroation just found on an officer, de corated with the order of St. George, who was killed in a weer, affair, dated " &wens% Jan. 29, on the banks of the Wolga. " It is an old man, 70 years of age, who has lived during the reign of four Sovereigns, and who now, towards the end of his life, disgusted with the despotism with which he is surrounded, revives in your hearts sen. timents of national liberty, and will die free. Raise your heads, 0 Rus sians II All Europe, and particularly that part which is the most civi lized and enlightened, acknowledge that there is nothing to despicable as to support slavery, and the yoke of despotism. Have you not vigorous arms, have you not souls inaccessible to fear, why then should you not be able to shake the chains with which you are fastened ? " Russia, the Queen of the North of Europe, having saved the liberty of others, will not fail for herself : why do you tremble without the daring of courage, you slaves of a despotic Czar ? you tremble at the very name of liberty, and the idea of it is, in your eyes, the greatest of crimes. Is it then possible, that those who were the terror of the world, can suffer to . remain the slaves of prejudice and ignorance ? "Russia, the eyes of all Europe are turned towards you: the world knows the bravery of Russian heroes ; the straight-forward labourer and the high-spirited noble are known ; but of what use are these qua. tides, where despotism reigns in the name of legal power,—therc where pride raises its bold front, treats its neighbour with disdain, and, spreading its wings, tries to smother liberty and honour ? What is it that stops your course ? Why do you not fly to obtain inestimable li berty ? It is, perhaps, prejudice which prevents you. Your ancestors were born and died slaves. Oh ! may the light of liberty now disperse the clouds of slavery ! There are now no Russians in any class shodo not understand the true value of liberty; but they look for an impulse they cannot give themselves; they sigh in silence,—they wait the mo ment to conquer their liberty. " There is not an example in the history of any people, that those who are firmly determined to obtain their liberty do not succeed. GOD protects their efforts. Look at the happiness of other people, while you remain the victims of an increasing despotism. You see even at home the love of a people for a sovereign who commenced his reign with jar. du and clemency; but, alas! it was only the commencement; for at length, blinded by pride, nourished by vile flatterers, he cruelly deceived the hopes which be raised. Look to the fruits of that justice and cle mency. We must suffer punishments till then unknown ; victims of his suspicions, but neither tried nor convicted, and all this only in order that he might reign despotically. Our warriors are returned from Turkey covered with new laurels; all are not come back; many are missing. Where are they ? They are beyond the Balcan ; their ashes repose in a fc reign land, if at least the Russians in their misery could say they have perished ; but they have perished for their country. But, alas ! no, they are sacrificed, offered up to pride, and the barbarism of two despots. Where are our fathers, our brothers, our children ? They will never return ; but in their just vengeance they scud us the comps. nions of their tombs--sickness and the plague, which, as auxiliaries, will end in giving the death-blow to those who would obtain their berty. You will see the vengeance of an offended and insulted GoD: these intuits increasing, in an awful degree, even in our holy Church, from the reign of the Czar Alexander Frederowitz. " Oh, Russians, fear that each minute will make your situation more terrible; every thing proves that the wisdom which is the dawn of na tional happiness is smothered amongst us. Commerce is left without protection, the merchants oppressed with enormous taxes, the cultivator is almost forced to purchase his subsistence, as if It was the gift of the Czar ; the ancient Russian citizens are despised, and strangers fill the principal places in the State ; it is not, therefore, astonishing that they oppress and ruin us, for they are not our brethren. And what has become of our martial spirit? Where are the ancient Russian heroes ? Where are those who armed themselves in the name of God, the nation, and the Czar ? They have all perished, and now we have been chosen to be the vile instruments of despo ism. Wo, wo, to us! And are we to be blindly obedient? We all complain, we shed bitter tears in vain ; are these, then, the arms the brave children of Russia ought to use ? No ; it is with sword in hand we must go into the centre of the capital, into the midst of the field of battle ; we ought to demand our national liberty. What CAA oppose our courage? The idols of despotism will fall before us, the Czar will become a father, and we shall cease to be orphans : we shall again find a country, and, like our brethren in Jesus Christ, the Greeks, we shall become free and humor. tan ourselves. Nations less warlike and less populous have risen with success, although surrounded by empires interested in their de struction. The hour has struck. God, who has in his hands the fate of Kings and of people, will protect us also. Tear asunder, 0 my countrymen, the bonds of fanaticism. You have sworn to be faithful, but the Czar, has he not also sworn to be your father ? He bas broken his oath, we are free from ours. Let us, notwithstanding, respect our Czar as the representative of GoD as the highest authority. Change only the form of government, and demand a constitution. " Russians, let all those who desire their happiness; and that of their descendants, profit by the present moment, and hasten to the banks of tha Wolga ; there the flag of liberty already Maass—there the work has commenced. Citizens and warriors have taken the oath, in the face of the whole world, to die, or to be fret. Those whom distance prevents from joining us, have only to rouse their sleeping souls, and, sword in hand, demand on the spot which they inhabit liberty and a constitution. But it is principally to you, Russian warriors, that I ad dress myself, end it is towards you that the country holds out its aims; it is from you that it expects deliverance ; do not allow that it will be any longer the plaything of savage despotism. The throne has 0 0 other defenders than the slaves that surround it. They will betray for money in the field of battle u they have done in the cocoa. We must be free rise, and the throne will tremble ; but if the &P t will arrest our enterprise, and that by the aid of those accomplices on whom he bestows all favours, in forgetting that he is our monarch and not thelsor—in fseptdng that be is the father of all the Bossism —then the whole world will see that the Russians are not made far . slavery,—that they must have their liberty t they can be free, an d they will be free.
