GREECE.

The Porte has consented to open its ports to
Greek vessels, but demands an indemnity fur the
expenses of the war, and for Turkish subjects who
have suffered from the depredations of the Greek
sympathisers.
The Paris Moniteur prints some despatches
written by the late Colonel Soutzo, Greek Minister
of War, which leave not the least doubt of the com-
plicity of the late Cabinet of Athens in the insurrec-
tion. In one of these, the Minister, addressing
Grivas as his brother, says, " 8,000 talari are at
your command, and will be paid to whom you may
nominate."

SPAIN.
Notwithstanding the continued perseverance of
the official despatch-writers in Madrid to represent
the insurrection as an affair of no importance, and
the insurgent forces as few in number, perpetually
defeated by the loyalist troops, and destitute of all
sympathy among the population, the fact can no
longer be concealed that imeute has become a revo-
lution, and is attaining full success with almost un-
exampled rapidity. After spreading through cities
and provinces on all sides, the flame has reached the
capital itself, where, as we learn by the latest ac-
counts from Bayonne, under date of the 20th inst.,
the troops and population made a unanimous pro-
nunciamiento on the 17th. The Count of San Luis
(Sartorius), President of the Council, then fled from
Madrid, and the Ministry were dissolved.
Saragossa had previously "pronounced," as had
the whole kingdom of Valencia, the Balearic Isles,
and the towns of SL Sebastian, Vittoria, Valladolid,
Burgos, and Barcelona. At the latter place some
rioters, taking advantage of the disturbed state of
affairs, plundered and burnt several manufactories
and other edifices. The insurgent chiefs, however,
restored order, shot two or three of the rioters, and
proclaimed that every attack on person or pro-
perty would be punished with death.
Espartero is now recognised as the head of the
movement, and is fi.rming a central army. General
Zabala, who had already left St. Sebastian in order
to march upon Madrid with a force collected in the
Basque provinces, will join Espartero with his

troops.
The rallying cry of the insurgents has been " The
Queen and the Constitution !" varied in some places
as " The Queen and Morality !" General O'Donnell
on the 7th instant issued a proclamation designed to
rally, on behalf of the movement, the whole Pro-
gressista party. This document appears as a
" Bulletin Extraordinary of the Constitutional Army,"
and was dated from the head-quarters at Mania
Imre& The purpose of the insurrection is thus set
forth in it:—
" We desire the preservation of the throne, but without
a camarilla which dishonours it. We desire the rigorous
practice of the fundamental laws, improving them, par.
ticularly the electoral law, and that of the press. We
desire a reduction of taxation founded on strict economy.
We desire that in military and civil employments antiquity
and merits may be respected. We desire to wrest the
people from the centralisation which devours them, giving
them the local independence necessary to preserve and
increase their own interests ; and, as a guarantee of all
this, we desire, and will plant on solid bases, the national
militia. Such are our intentions, which we express frankly,
without imposing them on that account upon the nation.
The juntas of Government, which will have to go on con-
stituting themselves in the free provinces; the general
Cortes, which will soon assemble ; the nation itself, in
fine, will fix the definitive bases of the liberal regeneration
to which we aspire. We have consecrated our swords to
the national will, and we shall not sheathe them until this
be fulfilled."

The treaty with Mexico had been ratified at Wash-

On the sth inst. there was an intense excitement
in Wall-street, caused by the discovery that there had
been a large over-issue of stock in the New York and
New Haven Railroad Company. The extent of the
fraud, the respectability of the party concerned in
the swindle, the position occupied by the suspended
house, and the effect of its innumerable contracts be-
coming null and void, all make it one of the most de-
plorable events that has occurred in Wall•street for
