ST. PETERSBORCH, 31. tacit 2.

A ministerial resolution, confirmed by his .llajesty, extends to
the Protestant Church the 7th section of the regulations for the
Roman Catholic Church, of the thli December, 1801. According
to this regulation, the property of the Protestant Church shall be
maintained inviolate, with the same rights as that of the Crown,
preserved and protected against all injury . • and the buildings and
lands belonging to school*, seminaries' and poor-houses, shall nit
be used foe any oolirr purposes. Thehouseit of the clergy, even if
they are absent on official duty, are tut ever free from the obligation
of having soldiers quartered on them. If, however, buildings be-
longing to the Church, or charitable institutions, produce rent, they
du not enjoy this exemption.
We expect that a note of the Ottoman Government will shortly
be published, containing positive orders to the Packs of Silistria,
for the evacuation of the Principalities of Wallachia and )lol-
davis.

Accounts from Madrid of the 11th state, that the capital enjoys
tranquillity, but that the distress prevailing there continues to in-'
crease, as well as in the provinces, where there is much dissatisfac-
tion. It is in ♦ain that decrees are issued. There is something
wrong in the system that has been adopted ; and it is to be appre-
hended that every thing sill tail unless it is abandoned. Thus we
have a prodigiously long d2cree, in 2 articles, relative to the
