There is much talk of a Bull which the Pope sr to the clergy of all Catholic Christendom. calling upon theta w pursue anti extirpate the political sects whose object is to peer brow the throne and the altar, to widelmine public tranquillity. and every when! to spread licentiousness and murder. His holiness not only exhorts the cirrgy, but commands them to employ all the mean , i o th e ir power, as well to discover the sweet societies already existing, as to prevent the formation of any new ones. The Bull is already printed, but probably only one cony has vet been struck 0 6;--at least me ie now circulated among the t'ardinals, in order. as it Nem% to he taken into consideration in a coepregatiort. It is believed that the events in Ru'aia. in which the tenet sew tidies have acted a dangerous part. were the ininiediate rausoi of the issuing this Bull. :Slimy persona pretend. that in every country of Europe—England. perhaps, excepted--every periodical meeting of It large number o persons, of whatever nature it may be. will he prohibited.

The only other circumstance of im portance is the account given, in letters from Stockholm, of a despatch from St. Petersburgh, in which the new Emperor says, "that the sentiments of the Emperor Aro X.% NnEn towards the King of Sweden are a part of tlle inheritance to which the Emperor :Vie ;lOLA S ha; Ruceer(lvtl." [From the Doile, dated Saturday, `2sth 31areli.] 3IAncH 21. The report of the health of the Emperor of A mtria, dated 17th March, at eight in the morning, says... The situation of his Ma jesty la as favourable as can be desired. His Majesty has slept well and composedly during the night. His pulse this morning is perfectly regular." To-morrow a solemn Te Dram will be vcrformel in the ca thedral. To-day the theatre will be opened again. A letter from Vienna, Pith :%larelt, says, " Our capital has resumed its usual appear ance. Everybody indulges in the joy which is causer: by the re cavery of the Prince so beloved by his people. The public prayers v..hicb were ordered ceased to-day." Our excl'attge to-day chews, in the most unequivocal manrer, the state of public contitlettee. The i‘letalliquett, which the day before y..sttrtlay were at are toatay at ; and the Bank ;Imre*, which were at t.1.2.0i. have risen to 108. It is the same with other descriptions of stuck. Utter* from Stockholm say, " The despatches which we receive from the court of Petersburgh, are corceived In terms of the kind eta frit:o,Np. The fallowing passve has bt ohsaved with pleasure, that the sentiments of the Emperor Alexander towards the King of Sweden are it part of the inheritance to which the Em peror Nicholas has succeeded.' " MADRID, Mmtcti 14. The unexpected death of the King of Portugal would give reason to be apprehensive of the public trarquillity of the country, if the composition of the new Regency did not allay all fears on that subject. The Princess Isabella Maria, who is at the head of the Regency, is daughter of John VI., bk.t was always against the projects of the Queen, her another, c whom so much has been said, especially on the occasion of the late troubles, of which she was the cause, or the pretext. The Princess Regent is retmakable for her great piety, but is elnteet always ill. The Duke de Cardaval enjoys In Parings' the highest repots. dun for probity, &mews& and rare talent.. Ills mother was a French lady, and sister to the Prince of Luxemburg. The other Members ot the Regency, egpeciady the Patriarch of Mahon, enjoy the confidence of the whole nation. The Council of Regency is to govern In the name of Don Pedro, Emperor of Iluz:1, which proves the non-existence of a secret article of the treaty' wi,h Brazil relative to the absolute separation from Portugal at the death of John VI. ; bat it is to be feared that subsequent event* will do what the treaty has not done, since Portugal will not consent to be a cn'ony to Beall. We may ober why the Q I,:cu is eACiuded from the Reg ay. It THE BRITISH PRESS. because the mesa of the nation wu always averse to recognize Brazil u independent. A general subject of conversation in our circles is the perseverance who which the Duke Flafautado endeavours to withdraw front the Ministry. The Marquis de Casa-Fleres, among others, is seJicen dos his successor. It is also said that Generals Quesada and Campo Sagrado will be deprived of their commands in Anda lusia and Catalonia. The Council ofState is engaged in the sending of an expedition to America, which, it should seem, is to be considerab.e, being composed of several ships of the line. General Carvajal being nominated Inspector of the Royalist Volunteers, his Majesty has appointed for his successor, in the command of Valencia, General O'Donnell. who is succeeded in the camp of St. Roch by General Miranda. General S•impere is .ap pointed military Commander of Tuy. It is affirmed that the Marquis de Zambrano will be succeeded in the War Department by General Carvajal. I From the Josrual des Dehats.l The Infant Don Carlos, on the 7th inst. having come as usual from the Frolic to Madrid, to preside at the Council of State, found, in Its antechamber, two oflicera of the King's gnarls, who. on the 7th dilly, Ile 2 - 2., had figured in the ranks of the Cowan's tionalis!s. These officers had come to solicit an audience, which his Highness refused, and, on entering the hall where the Council of State holds its sittings, the Prince opened the business of the day by the following discourse. '• Gentlemen—lt was wtth much surprise that I just now found in my antechamber two officers of the old gnarl, clothed with the uniform of the new, who appeared in the ranks of the Revolutionists when they attacked the Palace. The King, my brother, cannot be aware that such men as these form a part of the troops to whom tha guard of the Royal Family is entrusted. After this discourse the Minister of War replied, observing. that the officers in question haiing been purified, he was obliged to restore them to their former situations. Upon this a long discus sion arose, in consequence of which the King was induced to sign a Decree. by which the Captains General of the Provinces were ordered to send to the Minister of War lists of the purified offieers, showing their situations on the 20th March, 131:0, the rank to which they had successively risen before the time of the liestors. ion, and the proofs which they had given of their attachment to the King. This decree is to extend to all departments of the Goverinnent, and the Apostolical party has, in this, gained a com plete victory. (From the Constitatiomtrl or Friday. I Yesterday a young lady, whose dress bespoke a woman of fa shion, and who wax followed by two men who appeared to be attached to her service, passed through a part of Park barehioted, and holding a chaplet in her hand. She went in this way into the church of Notre Dame and that of St. tlenerieve. This strange exhibition excited more pity than curiosity upon her passage. The spectators observed that she was probably some great sinner. Such ' conduct reminds us of the time of Henry 111. It seems they wish to brink us back to that period.

In glancing at the political situation of Europe, three points only seem to have any appearance of commotion, and these are situated at the three extremities of the European Continent—Russia, Greece, and the Peninsula. But the different subjects which have come on the tapis in these countries reduce themselves only to a few general heads, and the decision of them all will probably depend on the same general principles. It is neither Russia, nor Austria, nor France, nor England, that now decides the destinies of Europe. The progress of knowledge, and the gradual diffusion of sound views respecting the true interests of people and of psinces, are the ruling powers on which the influence of Governments depends. As one state precedes another in the march of improvement, as one state as sociates itself with she spirit of the age, while an other opposes or neglects it, in so far will that state exceed the other in influence and prosperity, and in so far will it be more permanent in its domestic establishments, and more secure in its external relations. It is on this principle that our present Ministry has acted, and on this principle do we cordially support them. The Continent is now more properly divisible, as far as regards political interests, into parties—such as the Congregationalists and the Con stitutionalists—distinguished by the difference of their opinions, than into states, whose chief characteristic is their local position. If we look over the whole of E u r o p e , we shall sec the same partiss making their appearance in the diffisrent states, varying italeed in names, but agreeing in principles and objects. The principal clams into which European politicians may be divided, in every state, are—the Revolutionists, the Ultras, and the tuuderate Party. The fast of these are not actually in power in any quarter of Europe. The second arc supposed to prevail iu the cabinets of Austria, Russia, Prussia, and Spain. The last are now at the head of affairs in England„France, the Netherlands, Sweden, and some inferior states. The it t volunonists undoubtedly have their distant connexions and correspondences, and the disco veries which have hen nuele in Italy, Spain, France, Ger many, and Russia, prove tit secrolassociations exist. But the iSevolotionists ere not the only party who have established secret institutions. It appears to be perfectly certain that the Ultras in' France have actually revived the institution of the Jesuits, and have made considerable progress in a few years in establishing their influence throughout almost every department of Church and State, It would seem even that VII I.Et.e , and several other Ali nisters, were only introduced into office to bear the respon sibility and conduct the measures of this party with greater dissimulation, because they were themselves ignorant of their ultimate object. Some time has now clasped since the interference of Austria in the affairs of Naples and Piedmont, and that of France in the affairs of Spain. In the con duct of Austria and France, on these occasions, the principles that had regulated the policy of Europe for cen turies were completely departed front. The chief point of jealousy between France and Austria had always been the inanence of the latter in Italy. From the time of the partition of the great empire of C II A I:LEM A t::: s. this haul been a cause of contention between these Cabinet*. Lvw the settled principle~ of England werrinfringt . ll by the violation of the ter . tit%rits of her two Allies, l'ailsoolit and Naples, both of which have a cotntr.on intert-st with . . . - - - . her, on account of their insular dominions and their situ ation in the vicinity of powerful neighbours, whose influ ence it was considered to be the interert of England to repress. Prussia also, and even Russia, was not less deeply interested in preventing any possible aggrandizement of the house of Austria. Nur were the circumstances which opposed the occupation of Spain by France of a lees im portant nature. It is scarcely necessary to allude to the wars undertaken to prevent the accession of the grandson of Imers XIV. to the throne of Spain, nor to mention the extreme jealousy which had always prevailed on the subject between France and England. Admitting that all these considerations were postponed to the dangers apprehended from revolutionary principles, is it possible to believe that no farther guarantee was re quired of the good faith of Austria and France than what appears in the documents published to the world ? IVere England and Russia so confident of their own ability to repress any unfair attempts, or so persuaded of ' the integrity of these Powers, as to put the prey in the tiger's lir.gs, and trust td their own prowess or the animal's generosity to secure its safety ? It must not be supposed that the advantages acquired by the temporary occupation of Spain, Naples, and Piedmont, are only to be estimated by what is apparent and ostensible. France will not seem to exercise any influence in the. Councils of Spain, she will not seem to acquire any undue advantages, but there is an unseen influence in every Government, in the appointment to oEfie.s, in the rogulariun 'of couttnerce, &c., of which she will avail herself. She has obtained an easy eptrance into the country; and it is of little consequence whetln her troops he on this or that aide cif . the Pyrennocs, if I F.auce knowsi and Spain is sensible, tlat they way he at Madrid whenever they think proper. "If she is strong in I power," and is satisfied that Spain knows her to be so, it matters little whether she be strony "in use" or not. The same reasoning is applicable to the cue of Austria in Pieilmout and Naples. Russia seems evidently to have east her eye on the northern provinces of Turkey. In this acquisition, too, a variety of interests are compromised. The general question about the Turkish empire opposes it, and Austria in partiCular will be placed in a most unfavourable predi cament by such an acquisition on the part of Russia. That 15wcr will then take up a position which will enable her to enveloPe the most important part of the Austrian domi nions, and to march her armies on Vienna from three sides, completely turning the barrier of the Carpathian mountains, and commanding the Danube in the most important part of its course. All these considerations only serve to strengthen our opinion, that the whole of these successive occupations form parts of a plan which has not yet been coinpletely carried into effect. Of all the facts now mentioned Mr. CANNING is no doubt perfectly aware, and has prepared himself for taking part in this new system of the Great Powers, by which they seem to intend to substitute influence for conquests. If we look at the map of Europe, we shall find that our own infloettea is nut inconsiderable ; for that system which seems now to be adopted by other Powers has been ours for ages, as Filename:a Tux GRF•T—a very good judge— long ago remarked. Happily our influence rests not only on power and fear, but on mutual interests, and the " duress, of affection" (to uses term applied on a late occa sion.) We have Norway as a pledge for the friendship of Sweden—formerly so completely devoted to the French interest. Norway is hound to us by the relations of com merce. situated as it is on the sea coast, like Portugal, and capable of being absolutely starved by atlockade to ere vent the introduction of grain into its harbours. It is a country in which the principles of liberty are guarded with a jealousy, and carried to an extent, of which Europe in general has not the slightest conception ; and this cir cumstance alone would render it amicabl to England. In Denmark we have at least such influence as tear can inspire ; Hanover gives us an influence in the north of Germany ; Holland, like Portugal, is our old and natural ally; and the islands of Sardinia, Sicily, and those in the Archipelago, are pledges in our hands for preserving some power over the Councils of the possessors of Naples, Piedmont, and Greece. The Bar bary states may probably be considered, in the same way, as under our influence; but !how are not new acquisi tions, and there must have been some influential or other indemnity proposed, before our Ministers' consent could have been obtained to the measures of France and Austria. A wide fiald had undoubtedly been entered into in the various Congresses immediately after the revolutionary war, and the schemes then laid down provided, no doubt, for any changes which tnight ensue on the death of any of the parties interested. The secret designs were entrusted in all probability to few; but certainly to a sufficient number, both of ministerial and royal personages, to secure them against the interruptions, which it was so easy to foresee, from death and from other less probable contingencies. The same Ministers, with a few exceptions, arising no doubt from what is shove stated, have almost invariably attended in d? successive Congresses which have been held since that period. The Duke of WELLINGTON, we be lieve, is considered to be averse from such employments; yet lie has been sent more than once on such important occasions. After the battle of IVaterloo it would not have been PAF.) , to have carried on the negotiations without his knowledge, and he was no doubt one of the English. Pleni potentiaries admitted behind the curtain in these transac tions. Ibis mission to St. Petersburg, therefore, would appear to be merely for the purpose of comparing notes with NICHOLAS, and nothing is to be expected from the new Emperor, but what would have taken place if the Emperor ALEXANDER had still continued to direct the Russian affairs. Moldavia and IVallachia, Russia will undoubtedly secure for herself, while Austria probably will endeavour, by cessions and indemnities, to procure a better line of frontier. Every circumstance that we are as yet acquainted with, tends to show that the arrangements on this subject had been settled, at least as far back as the Congress of Verona. The delay of Russia in interfering in the affairs of Greece, and the conduct of Austria in the course of the war, may easily be sec bunted for, without supposing any misunderstanding between those powers. It is not the wish of any of the 'great powers to establish a republic in Greece ; of that there can be no doubt ; but it is equally against their wish to maintain Turkey in its present state. Russia, by an immediate interference, could, if unommsed, establish what form of government she pleased in Greece, under her guarantee and protection ; but she would have to encounter the desperation of the Turks, whose prejudices against European discipline would give way in a case of such imminent danger, and give them an opportunity of taking that rank to which their military qualities would soon raise diem. There would therefore be a chance of a war of considerable difficulty ; and even the cordial assistance of the Greeks could not be much depended upon, as they would naturally have a distrust of the intentions of the Russians. But the most important consideration that would restrain Russia for sonic time, would be the want of a pretence for overturning the present government in the Morea ; it being the wish of the moderate party in Franco, England, and Europe, that the Greeks should be allowed to conquer their independence for themselves, if they can. Keeping the question of Moldavia, IVallachia, and the North of Turkey entirely separate from that of Soutbern Greece, no interference in the affain of the latter is to he expected, till either the superiority of the Turks ' shall have rendered such intromission necessary in behalf of the Greeks, or till the success of the Greeks shall render the pretence of revolutionary principles in that country available. The present balanced state of the two parties, supported on the one side by Austria, and on the other by England, is certainly not by any means unfavourable to the views of Russia on the North of Turkey. Russia has also been supposed to entertain views hostile to the present state of things in Sweden. She might, no doubt, find pretences for interference ; but the gain of any attempt in that direction would be trifling, and the danger of miscarriage very considerable. Sweden has now one of the best protected frontiers in Europe, and she has men and mountains which may bid defiance to all the power of Russia. , No man, who attentively considers the recent history of ' Europe, can doubt that such a change as we have de scribed has taken place in its political system. That our Government has concurred in it, precisely to that extent to which it was proper for it to concur, we think admits of as little question : it has abstained from all participation in any interference which could he construed into an infringe ment of the national independence of any European state; but it has not hem so bliml to its duty as to engage in any crusade for the iffevention of that which, though perhaps not easily reconcileable with justice, will, in the end, be found very consistent with expediency. The influential system, supported by the combination of the great powers, was first carried into practice by Kau NIT; the Minister of Manta THERESA, who formed that confederacy be tween France and Austria, so contrary to the former poli tics of these States, to which Prussia, then considered a second rate power dependent on France,—if it had not I happily been supported by the abilities of Fe rokitic,— would, in all probability, have fallen an unresisting sacri fice. The suhs, , quent partition , f Poland was only the se cond effort of this system • though doubtless the first which proved successful in its objects. The French Ite.tolution brought the great powers still more into the practiceof acting in unison ; and those alliances, which were then formed for the purpose' , of defence, are now continued for purposes in which ambition has probably a considerable share. The partition of Poland and the conquests of liosar, • RT r ' had excited too much odium to be immediately repeated, and the scheme row devised will accomplish the same objects, without giving rise to any feelings of degradation in the nations thus reduced to a state of comparative vassalage. Nor is this system so much to be deprecated as at first sight may appear. It will tend to prevent those petty breils between inferior strut which freottently end in n general convulsion ; and may therefore secure the peace of Europe for the future on a more durable foundation. As to the supposed effects of such a system in maintaining elettrotism, much more wcil:ht is given To tithe hypothesis then it its due. After all, it is acknowl4xed, even itythis country, that the liberty of the sub3ect has I better security in pubic opinion, than in any legislative institutions or enactments; and it is admitted on all hands that power, so far from being able to suppress opinions by persecution, only esta. 'dishes them more firmly. We have before remarked, that the division of Europe into parties, distinguished by their opinions, forms at present a more important and more powerful mark of distinction than mere contiguity of situation. It is upon the fate of these parties that the fate of every people now depends, mote than upon its territorial boundaries, or its subjection to this or that potentate—to this or that form of Government. It remains now toinquire whether England has been so blind to her interest as to permit Spain to be subjected to French influence, Italy to Austrian, the North of Turkey in all probability to Russian supremacy,an4 the states of Germany, a: they already are in a great measure, to the influence of Pruasia, while she has neglected to secure to herself any corresponding advantages. To counterbalance these ac. quisitions of theirs, the recognition of the independence o f Greece, and that of the South American States, would t o but trifling boons to bestow upon England. The advan tages to be expected from the latter she already possesses, and Europe cannot deprive her of them ; and any influence which she might hope to maintain in Greece, beyond the islands of the Archipelago, would only serve to place her in contact with the great military powers of Austria and Rus. sia, one of which must and will always preserve the pre dominant influence in any new state which may be erected in European Turkey. The islands of Greece would be far more useful to us as pledges than as possessions, capable as they are of Leing overrun, like the French West India Colonies, in any war which we might have with the power which might possess the continent of Greece. There is only one point on which our views can rest for an quirt lent indemnity, and that point is undoubtedly Egypt. We are persuaded that this point has been secured. MEHEMET PACHA has no legitimacy to plead. The course to be pursued seems obvious. Austria now preserves that influence with the Porte which England did with the Spanish Constitutionalists, and Rnssia and England have only to strike the blow, the one operating a diversion in favour of the Greeks, by demonstrations on the side of Mel ' davia and Wallachia, which will probably have the eft: ct of securing these provinces, and perhaps more of the north of Tutkry, in the Russian interest; while England operates a similar diversion for obtaining a greater degree of influence in Egypt, which will have the eff cc of re. calling I DRAHIM VACUA from his expedition to the Morea. The present Ministers of France and England, and even the majority of those of Spain, have in some measure ' been compelled into a concurrence with measures which are not precisely those which they would themselves have adopted. The division in the French Cabinet before the t Spanish war puts this in their case beyond a doubt; , and it is evident that there existed some overbearing powers whose influence neither Mr. CANNING nor V11.1.EL6 could resist, and whose impulse they have been obliged to follow only because they could not avert it. If the Monarchs of Austria, Rucsia and Prussia, are resolved to pursue a certain course of aggrandisement, which, perhaps, is not much to be deprecatid while that course cannot be prevented without a general war, it is the wisest plan, both for France and England, to con cur in their designs—especially if, as in our case, we can do so without compromising our national good faith. We have never concurred in external interference with, the af fairs of nations, though we have seen it expedient to per. mit it in several instances, and to allow other nations to acquire an increase of influence by such interference; but we should be wanting to our own interests, and to those of Europe and the world, if we did not seek to indemnify ourselves for the relative superiority thus acquired over as, by casting our eyes on a country where our interre- re , nce trill be knit, as tending to overthrow or restrain - - - - r , usurped and tyrannical power ; beneficial to the cowry itself, as being likely to place a people (the Copts), a great part of whom have a common religion with us, under a just and egond system of law and government; and neces sary, in fact, fur the most important interests of th's coun try, as securing to ourselves the command of a passage to India, which, in any other hands, might ruin our power and our commerce in the East. These are all conjectures, subject to correction from a knowledge of innumerable facts to which we cannot be supposed to have access ; but the principles on which we argue are undoubted. We argue from what we know to what we cannot know. We judge of the future by the past. We propose to determine what is to be done from what should be done, because we have hither to seen that what has been dune by our present rulers is precisely what should have been done ; and if we could pretend to be as gout Statesmen as Tc sauue was a General, we might hope to arrive at the same accurate conclusions by reasoning upon the same principles. As it is, we have dose our best to disentangle the maze which the transactions around us present.Kl, and if we have in some instances discovered the truth, that must be allowed to excuse our failure in others. CITY, SATERDAY EVENING. This was nearly a Dies non on the Stock Exchanges, and the attention of speculators was drawn almost entirely to the election of the new Committee for the ensuing year. Consols for account opened at 771 buyers, advanced to 79, when a slight attempt was made, but without success, to produce a further elevation, and up to four o'clock the market underwent no further variation. In Money Sock there has been even much less doing, and the only quota tion of Consols, for the first transfer day in next week, has been 78. The New 4 per Cents. have been at from 9.53 to 9.52, and Exchequer Bills from 3s. to Ss. premium. Th.: smaller descriptions do not, as formerly, fetch a higher price, the supply being quite equal to the demand. The report, both in and out of the Stock Exchanges to day, is, that there will he no funding of Exchequer Vs until une: at which time the Chancellor of the Exche quer appears, by his own declaration, to be pledged to sub mit the whole of the financial arrangements. and the Ilya:- dation of the claims of the Bank of England. Although the transactions were as limited in the for leo market as in our own, still the fluctuation been were extensive. Some real sing took place among the ht!tlers of Greek Bonds, but the sales not having been to ary di-c.O amount, the rilluction has not excel dell per c‘nt. Il.e quotations of Greek Bonds on Thursday afternoon (:he la : market day) was 181; this morning they opined at 1 4 , and in the course of the afternoon declined to 17j. The business transacted in this stock being confined to a very small circle of dealers, the disposition of the public caiin.d be so correctly ascertained. Let the Greeks be recoen,:il by the Turks, and, however limited their mans, there - s no doubt that their Securities will be higher. Early in el.?. day Russian Stock experienced a trilling advance, but re ceded to the former quotation. Austrian, Prussian, art Danish Bonds, are nominally the same; the holthrs 21e• however, looking with some little anxiety to the result of the negotiations in Russia. There has been no alteration whatever in the 011 Spa nish Bonds, but the New have b:en sold so low as 6ii cr 1 per cent. under the highest pric . of the week, but rose per cent. before four o'clock. 'f hey have been so much . rubbed and torn by the unfortunate h liters, that malty 0t . them are nearly illegible. The condition of the 0:d Buie.. is equally deplorable. Both descriptions of French Steel: have Iren rather heavy, at a depression of per cent. below the price ea Thursday last. The only variation in the Transatlantic Securities to-day has fret) its Mexican and Colombian Bonds; hut it has not exceeded A per cent, and are rather higher. In Ho z:lien, Chilian, and Peruvian Bonds there is no alteration. Monday and Tuesday will be observed holidays at the English and Foreign Stock Markets.
