MADRID, JAN. 18.
Government has not ceased its measures of persecution against
individuals who have given. during the last year, proofs of their
attachment to the new order of things. 111. Gallardo, who was
librarian to the ('ones, was arrested here yesterday. In the small
place of Ram, the municipal authority has ordered all persons who!
formed pan of the constitutional militia not to go from their homes
except on Sundays and holidays, and then only to attend Divine
service. At Cuenca, the authority is less severe; the people there
are not peeve ted from going out, hut they cannot assemble in
greater numbers than three at one time, and at sunset they are
obliged to return to their homes. Those persons, therefore, who
are net with theirtamilioi, or who may have relations visiting them,
will be exposes to the hardships of these regulations.—()rack de

SAINT SEBASTIAN, JAN. IR.
A fire bike out, in the night of the lOth instant, in a house ad-
joining the ellLeh of St. Mary ; and but for the prompt assistance
given by the nett garrison, this city would have become a prey
to the flames I but at length at two in the morning the fire was
subdued. This next day the Magistrates, wishing to give a testi-
mony of their gratitude to the French troops, placed at the disposal
of their Commander 1,1300 teals. to be distributed amongst them •
he, In the name of his men, refined the money, saying that they
were sufficiently recompensed at having been able to be of service
to their haws, and that they host distributed the money that lad'
been offered to them among
.their Spanish companions, who had
rivalled them intim' for arresting the flames.
We read in the M-rrtorial Bondelais—•• It appears
.certain that
the Duke of Itelluno has refused the ambassadorship to Vienna,
and that the 31arquis of Cara:min goes to fill that post."
Letters from Hydra and Napoli di Romani, to the end of Decem-
ber, bring intelligence Mat enteral OdywwW, after having brought
together all his disposable troops, marched them upon Carystos.
The 12th Decembet was the anniversary of the taking of Napoli di
Romani ; be gave en assault, and carried by force that important
place.
The same letters speak of an expedition which the Ipsariots have
directed against the Isle of Mitykne. They have landed there 7or
KHOO men. The expedition was perfectly united, and they hope
not to be long in driving the Turks completely off the island.

Counsellor Murhard, Editor of the Anomie: Pulitiymes (Twiner-
miler, who was arrested in this city by an order of the Police of
Cassel, was yesterday conducted, under an escort of gendarmes
and agents of police, to Cassel. His papers have been placed un-
der seal. The Frankfort journals, and those which have copied
from them, have stated that Counsellor Murhard was suspected of
having some knowledge of the anonymous letters which some time
since were addressed to the Elector of Hesse Cassel. This absurd
imputation, however, has not obtained any credence with the public.
It is moreover contradicted by the order of arrest itself, sent from
Cassel, which assigns as • motive for this extraordinary measure
the connection of Counsellor filurhard with an American named
Reich, of whom information was given sonic weels ago to the
Grand Cassino of Frankfort, and which Kelch is suspected of re-
volutionary intrigues. This motive may appear extraordinary, but
it is not the same as was first published ; it calls to mind the de-
aces of arrest put in force in a neighbouring country at a stormy
period of its history, when the citizens were incarcerated because
they were .• troweled of bring anspecied." Perhaps the vigilance
of the polies of Cassel goes farther than this, since it extends to
those who have met in a public plate a suspected individual.

The Crimmins! Government of Berne has published an Ordinance
remarkable in itself, and which ,erotnes mare so when it is viewed
in ~.onnection with the various measures already taken, or which are
now deliberating upon in our councils- The Ordinance in ques-

of not only the sons of foreigners residing in the Canton, but also of
the sons of the citizens of Berne who do not possess a cer:ain for-

CORFU, JAN. 2,
Our prit ileged gazette has lately published a kind of manifesto,
which excited a momentary surprise in the public mind, when it
was heard that his Grace, our Lord High Commissioner, had
warned, in indignant teems, Alexander 31sur000rdato—[ See the
British Press of Saturday last.l—We would ask what fault, or
More than this, what infraction of the rights of nations he has per-
mitted, and we could make dimes versions of this subject, when
we are apprised of the following particulars :—The Hydriots, after
completely defeating the .I.lgerine squadron, cruising before Mis-
solonghi, pursued three Barbarian vessels to the coast of latacos, a
desert isle, on which they were stranded. The Greeks, who knew
that one of dime vessels contained • sum of 480,000 piastres, did
not hesitate to disembark on this rock, on which they had driven a
rich prize; the vessels were speedily got off; several Turks were max_
sacred by the Greek sailors, who then immediately re-embarked.
