In consequence of a negligence to injurious to

prohibiting all numerous meetings in the coffee-

,„lice, They are as arissitisfisetimy as Day Et pre.
ceded them upon the interesting question of the
probable wttr between Russia and Turkey. It is
asserted in a paragraph of the Caein. Feanessis,
that Russia still persists in her demands, and that
Turkish troops daily march from Constantinople
either for the Danube or the Morels. In an extract
from the official Gazette of Berlin, we however
find it stated that there to retools to believe that the
good intelligence between the Porte and Russia
will be re•estalltivhed.
We hove also received Madrid Paper' to the td
of Neveniher, from which we learn that the King
of STAIN had accepted the resignation of Don
ANTONIO BARATA, the Minister of Finance. The
extracts contained in the Paris Papers from those of
Spain repeat this intelligence, and the Al!baileys.'
published the Kt eo's decree announcing the event.
This Minister had made repeated applications to
his MAJESTY to be permitted to withdraw from
the Cabinet on the plea of ill health, which pre-
vented him from discharging the duties of his
office, " as his zeal for the public "relay, his at-
tachment for the person of the Monarch, mud his
delicate feelings of honour require." There ap-
pears to be something very siek'iting in the manage-
ment of public affairs in Spain, for in no cavalry
has the change of Ministers been more rapid or
frequent than in Spain since the return of the
KING from his captivity in France, and in almost
every instance ill health has been ostentatiously
put forward as the sole cause of the Minister's re-
treat. It is asserted in the Guette de France, that
the appointment of Dou ANGEL') VALI.i.Io as
successor to BARATA, has given great displeasure
to the other Minister», and that all except one have
followed BARATA'S example. Should this prove
true, we fear that the KING will find it difficult to
form a new Administration. It is said that his
treatment of his Ministers personally is not very
conciliatory, or calculated to attach, honourable
men of independent minds to his interests. In a
former emergency of this nature, FERDINAND very
imprudently requested the Cartes to appoint Mi•
lusters for him, bat the Cates wisely refused to
entrench upon so important a branch of the Kino's
prerogative. We trust that should his MAJESTY
now tempt them with a similar proposal, they will
have the good sense and discret 101 l to he governed
by the precedent they have so well established.

North American Papers from New York, Wash-
ington, and Boston, to the 214 of last mouth,
have conic to hand. The intelligence they contain
front the more southern parts of the Continent,
though interesting in its details, is not in any im-
portant particular raore recent in point of date than
what we have already published.
Catthagena was expected to fall into the hands
of the Patriot forces towards the latte► end of
September. The city was closely besieged by
General PADELIA, and the itihobitonts were wet:
firing the greatest privations. The Governor
(General TooftEs) had offered terms, bot they
were refused, as not bring sufficiently advanta-
geous. hleanoliale lltst.tirait was expected at
Santa Martha about the 22d of September with
4,000 tarts, and he would doubtless be enabled to
compel a capitulation. The provinces of Venezuela
were perfectly tranquil. Puerto Cabello alone re-
mained in the possession of the Royalists ; but it
was surrounded by Generals MARIANre and USDA..
N ETTA, with a force or 8,000 men.
Admiral Delors, Comrnandrr-iu•Chief of the
Columbian naval forces, died at Curaeots on the
27th June. Ile was in the prime of life, being
only in the thirty-Moth year of his age.
The Grecian Senate :►.semhled at kalamots, in
the Morea, near the head of the Gulf of Meosene,
has addressed u kind of proclamation to the Citi-
rens of the United States of America, exhorting
them to assist the Grecians in their present struggle
for the attainment of national independence. The
proclamation is most remarkable for the distrust o►
jealousy it sliest) of aft the European Powers.—
There is, however, hut little in common between
Greece and the United States that could justify a
sincere hope that the countrymen " of JERK, of
FRANKLIN, and of WASHINGTON." us the ad-
dress pompously expresses it, would, from the
mere abstract love of general freedom, lend any
et /refuel ant to •• the descendants of PHOCSON,

Classical literature is not cultivated with sufficient
ardour in the United States to create that who-
elastic veneration fur ancient Greece which might
induce the Ainericatis to make any considerable
sacrificrs fur the ►egeneration of that interesting
country. It is a remarkable fact, that the Patriot*
of South America derived far swore rift-curd suc-
cour in their ,haggles for independence from the
distant shores ef Great Britain and Ireland than
front the comparatively neighbouring, ports of the
Northern Union.
