SPANISH PAPERS AND HAMBURGH MAIL.

PAINPRLUNA, MARCH 25.

We have hid no fresh disturbances. The troops
are in the citadel, the peasants in the town, both
afraid to /hew themselves ; some, however, come to
make purchases in the market without soy dispute
arising.
Various information is received which will lead
to discover the plan that was formed against Pam-
peluna ; since it appears that on St. Joseph's day,
in the evening, allusion was publicly made at Ta-
fella to disturbances at Pampsluisa, and the very
same happened at a coffee-house at Bayonne on the
same day arid hour. While such expressions were
used at two places so remote from each other, the
people at Pampelune were perfectly tranquil, and
most of them abroad celebrating the festival of St.
Joseph. A secret end perhaps a powerful hand
persecutes as, but the mystery will be cleared up,
as it is highly important to as that it would be.
Several fatuities have err ignited from apprehen-
sion of what might happen, yesterday and to-day,
new commotion% having been announced far these
two days. It is impossible to calculate whether
such would or would not have taken place under
other circamstsncea, but we can say, that whatever
desire or intention there might have been to create
such disorders, dm vigorous activi:y of the audio.
titles, the patroles of the militia, in short the display
of the municipal force, have sufficed to frustrate auy
malicious designs, if such were entertained. Certain
it is, that for fear of them many families, who have
not emigrated, have, however, sent the women and

tbildren to the neighbouring, (Owns, all *hick keeps
Painpeluua in a state or great uneasiness.

MADRID. MARCH 51.
We have received an express from Pampeluna
with important information up to the 27th. Every
thing had remained quiet, and the fears of the in-
habitants were beginning to he allayed when news
arrived that General Lopez Banos was coming to
the city with six hundred mess of the regiments
Imperial Alexander and Seville, and some revelry,
to take the command of the 15th military division.
As the officers of the regiment Imperial Alezan.
der had addressed to the Cortes a vehement re-
monstrance against the citizens of Pampelnna, it
was feared that the entrance of these troops might
give rise to fresh disturbances. The Magistrates
therefore sent a deputation to General Loper Ba-
nos who prevailed on him to enter the city with
only his staff sod twenty-four cavalry, leaving the
troops at too leagues distance from the city, which
he has promised shall not form part of the garrison.
Thus tranquillity has been preserved. The General
declares that he will act iu every particular in can-
cer► With the authorities, and that his coming with
troops arose from a supposition that no authority,
either civil or military, was recognized in the city.
Accession' from Cadii of the 22d of March, state
that the reacts lately arrived in that plrt from the
Hammel) and Porto Rico, bring very favourable
news relative to the state of affairs on the continent
of South America. General Latour and General
Morales were stated to have been very successful.
The letters from Porto Rico up to sth of February
positively affirm the death of Bolivar. It had been
prohibited for two months in the Columbian Re-
public to say any thing respecting him, and Paez
signs himself President of the Republic.

BARCELONA, MARCH 29.
Our Communerot are very busy in collecting
data against the authorities who behaved so ho.
nourably on the affair of the 24th ult. but the ap-
pointment of the new Political Chief makes u■
quite easy respecting the manoeuvres of this hand-
ful of imbecile madmen.

Decreesof the Cones, sanctioned by his Majesty,
hare been duly published:-
1. Establishing the liberty of the chase, with certain re.
strictions.
2. A law relative to the discovery of miner. The first ar-
ticle eauta, that every Spsaisrd or foreigner who shall dis-
t:km* a mine, say work it for his own !moat, or Its part-
*whip with othen.—( Madrid Paper., April 1.)

APRIL 6.
Our state Gazette contains the following remark-
able article :

" Acconnts have been circulated in the public
journals which have excited general apprehension re-
specting the possibility of preserving peace in the
East. Though the negotiations at Constantinople,
es well as at Vieooa, are a political secret, we are,
however, authorised to declare, that nothing has
happened which can be assigned as a ground for
these apprehensions.
" Not a word] has yet bear peonoonced by any
Court which can be considered as a declaration °f ever
or which must lead to such a declaration. With the
undoubted wish of his Majesty the Emperor of
Italia to avoid war, if it can be done in a manner
compatible with the honour of his crown; with the
most positive assurances of the Divan of its wil-
lingness to remove every cause of offence to its
powerful neighbour; with the zealous efforts of the
Austrian Ambassador, and of the Prussian Charga
d'Affaires at Constantinople, to iodoce the Porte to
the performance of its treaties; with the convictions
of the Divan that these Ministers are actuated by
the purest motives in advising it to preserve peace
by concession, there is the best-founded hope
that the difficulties still existing will soon be re-
mosed,—(Harebergh Correspondent, April 9.,
Some persons have been disposed to coosider the
article in the State Gazette, respecting the state of
the negociistions with Turkey, as official, which
however is not the case, as it was inserted only in
the unofficial part of that paper.—(Hambyrgh
Barrios Hull List, April 8.)

STOCILHOLW. APRIL 2.
Our official Casale coutaws the fulluwiug
article :

" Letters from Constantinople of the 9th of
Marcbovitich hove been received here by express,
say, that the head'of Ali Pacha has been exposed
at the gate of the Seraglio, and that the Paella was
betrayed by his own people, the usual fate of
traitors. His treasures are estimated at forty mil-
lions rix dollars, Hamburgh bunco. The friends of
peace fear that the Turks, intoxicated by this sue-
yeas, may break off the negociations, and that the
influence of the Janissaries over the Sultan may be
effectual."

MUM, MARCH 49.
All the accounts which we have received for some
days peat from Vienna, Warsaw, St. Petersburgh,
&c. are of a very warlike tendency, mud people
believe that hostilities between Russia and Turkey
are et hand.

The Greek Prince Cantacuxeno, who has just
arrived here rim Dresden, is said not yet to have
received his passports to proceed to St. Peters-
burgh.

LONDON,
MONDAY. Aram is.

Saturday evening his Majesty's brig //albino,
Captain WHITWORTH LLOYD, arrived at Porta-
mouth from Port Royal, Jamaica, whence she sailed
on , the gth of February, leaving there the Time,
Captain GODFREY Carnation, Captain %VAL-
corr ; and T►ibune, Captain WILLOUGHBY, C.B.
The latter ship had suffered much from sickness.
The troops had also suffered greatly, particularly
the 50th regiment. There was no news from the
Main.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday and Thursday
last are as inconclusive upon the question of the
long-threatened war between Russia and Turkey
as any of those previously received, but it most not
be thence understood that they are wanting in port-
tive assertions that hostilities are inevitable. In-
deed if we were to give implicit credit to their state-
ments, we should find in the improving state of the
weather the certain harbinger of war, for they more
us that nothing now prevents the approach of the
hostile armies but the physical difficulties that are
offered to their movements by the indifference of
the climate, and the impassable condition of the
roads. It would seem, however, that there are still
many persons in the political societies of Germany
who continue to bops that the tranquillity of
Europe will not be interrupted. The private
sentiments of the Emperor ALEXANDRA are pre-
sumed to be eminently pacific, sod it is repre-
sented that the mission of the Senator TATISCIEFIP
from Petersburgh to Vienna had for its object
to engage the active energy of the Austrian Cabinet
in the cause of peace. A treaty has, it is said, been
proposed by the Emperor Autism:ma, which is to
bind the Court of Vienna to act in concert 'with
Russia; and it is supposed that a threat of an
invasion by Austria, in concurrence with the passage
of the Pruth by the Russians, will have the effect
of compelling the Porte to accede to the conditions
prescribed in the Ultimatum. A treaty to this effect
has, we are assured, been actually concluded be-
tween Austria and Russia, and the return of the
note addressed to the Court of Vienna by the
Reis Effendi, announcing the refusal of the Divan
to accept the Ultimatum, is supposed to evince the
sincerity with which Austria has resolved to pursue
the spirit of this engagement.

The preparations for war on the part of Russia
and Turkey have been urged on both sides with
extraordinary activity and effect. Letters received
in Frankfort from Russia intimate that the first
Russian army now assembled on the Pruth and in
Bessarabia is 280,000 strong, and that of this force
26,000 are cavalry. The park of artillery consists
of 500 pieces of cannon. Immense magazines have
been collected at Kaluga,the principal place d'ar►Nes
in the empire, and a second army has been formed,
equalling the first in magnitude and effect.
The Ottoman armies in Ronal* are extremely
numerous; but an army of reserve, amounting to
150,000 men, has been collected on the Asiatic side
of the Bosphorus, where it awaits only its final
equipment previous to its being brought into
Europe. A few days were thought sufficient to
accomplish this purpose, and in the confidence of
this disposable force to replace the army which had
been formed at Adrianople, the Porte had ad-
vanced the army towards the Danube. The
Austrian armies are also increased, and it is said
that resolution has been formed by the Austrian
Government to withdraw its whole army from
Naples and Sicily. The King of NAPLES persists
in exercising acts of tyranny towards his people, and
so severe have been some traces of his conduct, that
even Baron FalliONT has been induced to
remons►rate with him. It has been conjectured
that this solitary movement towards mercy
upon the part of the Austrian authorities in
Italy, is an evidence of the determination of
Austria to withdraw its troops, and that it hopes
by a tardy display of kindly feelings towards the
unhappy people •f the south of Italy to leave a
favourable impression of the temper and spirit of
their Government.

It is stated in one of the Paris Papers that the
French Government proposes to assemble an army
of observation of 20,000 enso, under General
COUTARD, but the purpose presumed to be coo.
templated is not noticed. The Spanish Govern-
ment evinces much uneasiness at the proximity of
the French unitary cordon, and has, it is said,
positively required that it should be immediately
removed at least three leagues front the frontiers.

The petition of Mr. Lowaneir to the Chamber
of Deputies, complaining of the conduct pursued
towards him respecting his daughter, was expected
to be snide the subject of a report from the Com-
mittee on Thursday. It is remarkable that there
is a petition complaining of au outrage of the
same nature from a M. Daucouar, whom daugh-
ter was induced to change her religion by a sister
de la Charlie, whale he was a prisoner at Base-
denim

We have received Spanish Papers, froth which we
collect that the city of Pampeluna was, in the
taitt.r part of March, the Itene of some *Fiona dir_
turbaisces, and that although at the time of the
departure of the last courier the city was perfectly
quiet, • great degree of uneasiness still prevailed.
Accounts from Cadit affect to give a (avowable
report of the state of the Spanish army in South
America. They speak also of the death of 1101.1* sa.
mid intimate that his popularity had wholly cease I
for some months previous to his death. This es.i.t
is represented as having occurred previous to v...
9d of February. The silence of later accounts fmot
South America sheers the incorrectness of the state-
ment.

Our readers, we are confident, will be gratified
by the splendid list of subscribers in the front of
our Paper for erecting a monument to the memory

presume that it is but the commencement of a mole
extended scale, sod that the loyal and patriotic
purpose only requires to be generally known to
commend support and patronage front every quarter
of the empire. It has besides all the advantage to
be derived from the full and entire assurance, that
the execution is in the hands of an artist iu every
respect competent to the undertaking.
