death, and the marriage settlements of Queen DA-
bells and the Duchess of Montpensier. The motiox
was, however, negatived.
A report was still prevalent in Madrid that Gen.
Ora& was about to retire from the ministry. In the
session of the Senate on the 10:h tile ministry stated
that the dearness of subsistence in the capital had
received their attention, and that measures of relief
were under consideration.

El Leo del Contercio says that 6000 waggons are
employed in transporting to Santander grain for ex-
portation, and that an enormous quantity has been
attracted there by speculation of the French govern-
ment, in which the Duke of Rianzares has a large
interest

A correspondent writes from Lerida, sth March,
that all the inhabitants of the districts of Villa Nueva
de Maya are in alarm, and expect from hour to hoar
a Montemolinist movement. The soldiers have all
been withdrawn from the district into the fort, to

avoid being surprised. The Montetnolinists commit
no }village; they purchase what they want and pay
for it.

The Levant mail has arrived, bringing advises
from Constantinople of the 27th ult. ; Athens, 28th
Heyrout, 26th ; Alexandria, the lat inst. ; and Malta
the 6th.

The quarrel between the governments of Turkey
and Greece, the details of which we have formerly
given, continued to be the prevailing topic at Con-
stantinople and Athens. It will be recollected that
the steamer, Cuvier, brought to Constantinople an
autograph letter from King Otho to the Sultan, and
one from M. Coletti to the Turkish minister for foreign
affairs, Ali Effendi. The purport of these letters was
a disavowal of any intention to offend the government
of the Porte, and a charge of serious misconduct
against M. Museums, the Turkish envoy at Athens.
The arrival of these letters was soon followed by that
of M. Muasurus and his suite. Immediately on the
arrival of M. Museums, marked personal attention
and respect was shown towards him by the repreeenta-
tives of England, Russia, and Austria. The British
ambassador invited him to dinner. It was *not
until the 27th that the answer of the Sultan t. King
Otho, and that of Ali Effendi to M. Coletti, were
despatched to Athens. The Sultan expressed his
wish to maintain amicable relations with the King of
Greece, but said that the diplomatic dispute must be
settled by his ministers. Ali Effendi wrote to M.
Coletti that the Porte required as a reparation for the
offence committed against its envoy that M. Coletti
should personally or by letter make a sufficient apo-
logy to M. Museum, and that the relations of the
Turkish government with Greece will be suspended
until this reparation was made.
The Divan has been mush engaged upon the state
of Kurdistan. The moment of acting against Beder-
khan-bey and the other native chiefs approaches ; and
all the requisite information necessary for the plan of
the campaign is sought. With this object the govern-
ment has called to Constantinople Osrnan-pacha, com-
mander-in-chief of the army in Anatolia.
Hafiz-pacha, the Minister of Police, was dismissed
on the 26th. Halls is a Circassian by birth, and was
the commander of the Ottoman army at the battle of
Nezib.

BELGlUM.—Baussu.s, MARCH 14.—The ac-
counts published by the National and other journals of
France, respecting the excesses lately committed in this
country, ere gross exaggerations. There have been, it is
true, rather serious disturbances in several towns, and some
bargee laden with corn have been pillaged, but there has
been nothing like an extensive system of plunder along the
banks of the Scheldt and the Lys, as alleged in the above
Parisian paper, nor any wholesale incendiarism.

HANOVER, MARCH 9.—The States-General have
approved of the commercial and navigation treaty concluded
between Hanover and the United States of America. Its
principal provisions, according to the Hanover Morgen Zei-
twig, are the following : The ships of the contracting parties
are to be placed respectively, with regard to all kinds of im-
ports, on the same footing ; but not with refenenee to the so-
called coasting-trade, which is exclusively reserved for ves-
sels constructed in the respective countries, or taken in war,
but not for thaw purchased in foreign countries. The agri-
cultural and commercial productions of each country are also
placed on the same footing with regard to importation and
exportation. Accordingly, Hanover will abolish the import
and transit duty on raw cotton, raw tobacco, rice, dm The
treaty will remain in force for twelve years.—A portion of the
new arsenal at Hanover has given way. The building cost
400,000 thalers.
GREECE. The Courrier d'Athines, of the
28th of February, represents the situation of the Greek
government as very critical, not only in the affair
of M. Coletti, but also with regard to tome disclosures with
regard to their financial management. By the law of 1843,
the importation of grain into Greece is governed by a sliding
scale, and the regulating price for each month, as fix. d by
the average rates of the latest markets, ought to be rib-
fished in a bulletin. Since the Bth of Jenaary the ministry
has suspended these publications, and has neglected, it is said,
to attend to the quotations of the markets, so that the
official prioe has been stated lower than the real market
price. By these mans the import-tax has been maintained
at a high rate, and speculators have been deterred from en-
terprise. These measures, says the Cowries, have not been
taken for the promotion of agriculture in Greece, but to
allow the sales of corn at a low price for exportation by a
favoured claas of speculators, taus diminishing the store of
provisions in this country. In the Chamber of Deputies,
Feb. 20, the Minister of Finance attempted to explain the
quotations in the official prices of grain as typographical
errors ; but the chamber refused to admit that explanation,
and decided to appoint a committee of inquiry.

imPeAFE OF GOOD HOPE.—We are in receipt of
news from Graham's Town to the 3rd of January. The in-
telligence that Sir E. Potting.r had been appointed &lic-
ensor to fi,r P. Maitland appears to have green general
satisfaction—to have been looked on es indicating the deep
importance attached by the home government to the right
eettletnent of the Kaffir question. A great and continuous
drain of .pecie was felt in Graham's Town. The distant
stock fanners refused to receive anything but specie in pay-
ment of supplies, and kept it locked up in their waggon •
chests. Many thousands of sovereigns had passed into the
hands of the emigrant Boers. The Graham's Town Journal •
remark' that these man are prepared to purchase the i
places they reside upon ; and do not hesitate to avow that
they heard their money for this purpose." On this hint the ,
editor suggests that were government " to take in the large
tract of country now in the occupation of emigrant stock-
breeders across the north-east boundary," a good deal of the ,
buried wealth might be restored to circulation. H. M. 1
steamer Thunderbolt arrived at Port Elizabeth on the 24th ,
of December, with specie, but still the drain continued.
