The news from Servia is highly favourable to the Greeks.
It is quite evident that if the Turkish Government coo-
t:one the struggle much longer, all its remote provinces
will be in a state of insurrection. Instead of drawing his
ptir.cipal revenue as formerly, without trouble, from the
',reeks, the SULTAN has to supply that deficiency by
greatly increasing the exactions from his remaining sub-
;ens, and further, to levy a large additional sum to defray
the expenses of the war. Under these circumstances it
hteornes very doubtful whether it will be possible for the
Divan to make another effort against the Mores. Before
the next ear:Taiga it is probable the Suet are will have to
contend with Mahometan ineurgaits, who will touch him
more neatly.

MADRID, FEB. 17.
The King's health daily improves. His Majesty took an airing
yesterday in tug carriage in the environs of Madrid, and he is this
mom icw in the most satisfactory state of health.
The Roral Ordioance of 24th June last exempted from drawing
lots, for recruiting for the army, the novices of the regular observ.
sties of the province of St. AI ichael. of Extremadura, when they
were patented to have a real vocation, attested he a certificate of
the Prelate and Fathers of the Convent. The King, cur Sove-
reign, constantly attentive to restore to the throne and the altar the
splendour and dignity of which they have been deprived in the late
Imes of war sad revolution, had deigned to extend the regulations
of that Ordinance to all the religious coovential orders, in the
lame manna as it practise:l with respect to tie abovementioned
novices of the province of Sc. Michael, of Extremadura.
Oa the representation of the Colsulates of the Ilavannah and of
Cadiz the King has decided, that the sugars coming from his pos-
unions in A merira shall pay henceforth an import duty, four real,
per ambit, instead of eight, which they were to pay. Coffee shall
Fe exempt from all duty, except that on consumption. Puerte Rico
sad :Fe Peilippines shall continue to enjoy the particular and total
sternati.ia, which has been granted them by special favour.
The Government has just received, by way of New York, ac.
counts from Panama, of October 19, where an insurgent battalion
arrived the same day, which had come from Guanchaca, which it
left the 1011, of tie same month. The accounts which it gave are
extrotr.elo satisfactory for the arms of the King. They obtained a
cenelete and decisive triumph on the 7th September, between
Ocemanga and Casco.
The skilful and valiant CsTitS•at had fallen back as fat as Cuzco,

sad then to attack him with advantage. In fact, the Viceroy,

above 320 miles from tie field of battle.

Trutilll. It us probable that Guaysuptil and Chili will speedily
return unde- the the legitimate veneer of hisllajesty. Thus Peru
is delivered from the presence of the Columbian army. It was
the last cflurt of the insurgents."
The Anniversary sof the Coronation of the King of Portugal, was
celebrated on the 6th at Lisbon, by a salute of the artillery of all
Ste forts, and the ships of war in the Tagus.
