SPANISH PAPERS.

111a011119, SITTZMIIIR L
An express from Saragossa, which arrived here
yesterday, gave rise to reports which, in oar opi-
►►ion, do pot rest on any foundation, since, from the
Proclamation of the Political chief of that city, it
only appears that tl►cee are ill-disposed persons,
notwilh•tn►tding the had success of Merino,
and others of his stamp, pretend to snatch from us
the sacred code which is the idol of virtuous minds.

[Here follows the Proclamation, which his been
already published.]
It will not Le long before we shall have data to
clear up the expressions of this Paper, mean time
every body is forming conjectures. Gen. Reigo is
gone to Lerida, by order of the Government, and
Geo. Muted& has taken the military command for
the resew.
This evening the troops of the garrison have been
wider arms, and tiumerons detachments of the na-
tional guard have patroled the streets of this capi-
tal; it supposed that the cause of these disposi-
tions is connected with the events at Saragossa, of
which we have spoken above.
It seems that the Permanent Deputation of the
Cortes is to meet to-tiiglit for the purpose of in-
flouting itself of the result of the journey of the
Minister of the Colonies to the Grange, sod to
take the necessary measures accordingly.
Several titters's, it is said, will present to-night
a representation to the Municipality, that this
body may request his Majesty to return to this
capital.
Saturday eveltiog the Ministers of State sent
passports to Meyers. Echeverria and Revenga, the
deputies from Columbia, who came to this capital
to treat with our Government : these gentlemen
will set out on Sunday, inid M. Zee will shortly de-
part for Paris. It is raid that the reasons of the
Government for this step is the breaking of the ar-
mistice.

MADRID, SEPTEMfiEII 5.
Some person. feared a disturbance but
to the great satisfaction of the public their kilts
have not been realized, and every thing has reinainert
perfectly tranquil. Au accident this morning of
some oxen breaking loose at the Puerto de Sol, and
making some persons run away. immediately ex-
cited borne uneasiness which fortunately was soon
eh inged into laughter.
It seems decided that General Rodrignee will
not be Minister at %I.'ar; yet it is said that the Se.
cretaries insist on the resignation which they have
made. %%'e respect their motives, but we should
regret at so critical a moment to see u total change
in the Ministry ; the more so as we are persuaded
that while the present Ministers remain at their
posts, the ill-disposed, of whatever class they may
be, will not succeed in eludiug the vigilance of the
Government and dirtut bung the public tranquillity.
It tins been said to-day that the Constitutional
Munk wilily or this city had offered to lay before the
King what the citizens assembled yesterday evening
requested. This is not correct —the Municipality
offered to represent to his Majesty that it would be
expedient that he should return to this city, in order
that the public tranquillity might not be interrupted,
but us to the other part of the petition, asking tl.e
publication of the lessons which bad induced the
Govetitment to send General Reign to Lerida, the
P:inctpality decided that .Fl 4 kould not be done

LONDON,

SATURDAY, Sernimazie 2e, 18t1.

We hare received Paris Papers of Monday and
Tuesday last. The most interesting portion of
their contents is a copy of a Manifesto issued by
the GRAND SILIGNOR. justifying his conduct with
respect to the Greek Insurgents, and promising
perfect security of property and life to such of the
Greeks as may have abstained from insurrection,
or have proved their repentance for past errors by
returning to their obedience. This Manifesto is
addressed to his Visits and other persons in autho-
rity. It commences by boasting in somewhat
pompous and certainly exaggerated terms, of the
benefits which all the subjects of the Porte,
who are not Mahometans, have derived from
the protection of its Government. Bat of all
three favoured and happy people the Greeks
were most eminently distinguished by the
affectionate regard of the Sublime Porte, and in
proportion us they were advanced beyond other
nations as the peculiar objects of the divine mercies
vouch-afed from the Turk, so much the deeper
have thej sunk into the vice of ingratitude by
their present opposition to the Government. It is,
no doubt, much to be lamented that the Greeks
should have been so blind to their peculiar felicity;
but so it is that they. sharing the opinions of the
other nations of Europe, foolishly conceived that
they were oppressed by the most debased sod
grinding tyrsimy that ever formed the lot of moo.
kind, sod impelled by this feeling, they disclaimed
" the shield of mercy and clemene," with whieb
the Porte had covered them. The SULTAN, how•
ever, now declares that it is Iris "sublime will's
that the infatuated Greek nation should still taste
the blessings of his protecting power, and his Sub-
lime Highness therefore very earnestly com-
mands that the innocent and iniaceable people
should receive protection and safety. lie admits,
indeed, that his wishes in this respect have been
occasiomilly violated in the most flagrant manner,
that the properties of the Greeks, however in-
nocent, have been seized, their persons in-
jured, and their churches despoiled, but he de-
110411CeS the severest punishments upon all persona
who shall hereafter presume to contravene his com-
mands, and endanger the safety of his peeple. Toe
energy with which the SULTAN reiterates his wishes
proves his sincerity ; but the events that have
occurred in Constantinople, under the very rye of
the Cost: urn. sit, would raise a doubt of his ability
to enforce his commands. We are happy, how-
ever, to perceive in the Government such a symp-
tom of justice; and we Nadler learn, by accounts
from Constantinople of the 18th of August, that
since the 4th of that mouth the tranquillity of the
capital bail not been disturbed. Accounts from
Slop us, of the 4111, say that attempts bad been re-

peeled in that town to renew the former excesses,
but that the authorities had sufficient energy and
strength to suppress the riotors, and that several
Turks had been decapitated, in proof of the reso-
lution of the Government to give efficacy to its
coinnumdt. By way, we suppose, of preserving the
balance of ponce between the contending putter,
severs! Greeks of distinction, inhabitants of Smyrna,
were at the same time seised, and conducted as
prisoners to Constantinople, under a charge of
having conspired with the insurgents to promote
the great object of the deliverance of Greece.

Spanish Papers ha►•e been received to the 7th
instant. Sinister reports from Saragossa had
reached Madrid on the 4th. and excited an alarm
in that capitol. In the evening the troops in gar.-
risen were under arms, and the national guards
were called to patrol the streets. The night, how-
ever, passed over quietly. Considerable anxiety
was expressed for the return of the KING to the
capital, as the means of ensuring its bunquillity.

At the Meeting of the Proprietors of the Bank
of England on Thursday, a Proprietor asked, if
the report that it was in the contemplation of the
Bank to reduce the rate of interest on their dis-
count to 4 per cent. were founded iu feet? to which
question the Governor declined to give a direct
answer. " He expressed his fears that were he to
give premature information in the manner required
at times, it could rather aggravate than diminish
the evil of speculation alluded to by the Hon. Pro-
prietor. The Directors would disgrace their office
were they to divulge such matters as were under
their consideration, and be was only perforating his
duty iu preserving silence upon questions like
the present. He would, however, conjure the Hon.
Proprietor and the public, to rety no attention to
the idle rutnour3 which were occasionally afloat
upon matters of this kind." Although the Direc-
tors may not have come to any decision on this ►ub-
ject, it would seem from these observations that it
has been under consideration.

Leiters from Pest, dated Sept. 4, state that Prince
Y psilanti has been liberated from the fortress of M a

his favour.

15E' AT-11 OF hERGAMI.
An Evening Raper of yesterday says, we hails
been favoured with the following extract of u letter
front Milan, by a commercial house itt the Cite,
of the highest respectability, and whose inercuoide
Coonegions with Italy are of great extent:—
: MILAN, warowestuir MORNING, sirevestora it.
Mtwara della eruee di Malta.
'l* We were all such aittostished to bear of the Queen's
; it was indeed sadder; but will you nut likewise be
surprised to hear that the famosts 31. Bergami is &so dead?
The Queer died on the 7th; be died on the 10th, iriih a
complaint in his bowels. I first heard it reported in this
city, lied had it maenad, us my visit. n the Ville d'Eat,
on the Lake of Cutnu. This is where the Queen lived, and
still belongs to her, or at lead to lei executors."
The letter from which this paragraph is taken, was writ--
tea by an English gratleassw, a breach of the amily and
establishment is London that has su kindly communicated
it to us. These eircuntstatices are s sufficient warrens, that
in forwarding this intelligence (and we have seen the original
letter) no deception was intesded, nor any thing but a mole
etaiensent of interesting stews, which the writer took the
best mesas in his power to artheaticate. We therefore
conceive, that the above notice of Bergana's death is folly
entitled to credit, ou far as it goes, and the probability of its
being perfectly well-founded is strengthened by the (act that,
matey to all expectation, that celebrated individual was
not heard of diarist her Majesty's funeral on the Contioent.
—A faithful and grateful servant, alto owed so muck to his
Mistress, as all admit that Bergarni did to the Queen, would

sequies. particularly when nu palpable obstacle seems to
