The Feenehyspers ef Wednesday and Thursday reached
us last night. The last accounts front Madrid, to the Bth
of April, state, that the hsad•gnarters of the French army
remain in that capital, as well as the military hospital.
TheGardes-du-Corps, and the second battalion of Swiss,
were* Toledo. The Hone Artillery, and the Val Regi-
ment of the Line, were in garrison at Valdcmoros and Cons-
posueloa. Rivatid de La RaMnicre was daily expected to
supersede Cenral Bourittont, as Military Pro-Consul within
the Pyrenees. The great offence of the latter consists in
the unvarying opposition he has given to the Fanatics and
their measures. Accounts from all the Spanish Provinces
state that die Royalist Volunteers or Militia refuse to dis-
arm. To varnish over this open contempt of the wretched
Ferdinand's authority, Don Jose Manuel Arkin., the Mi-
dieter of Po:ice, has published a statement in the Papers,
which seeks to persuade those who arc weak enough to'
believe it, that the resistance has proceeded from counter
erders sent into the Provinces by the enemies of Govern-
ment. Circulars, the Pol•ce Minister states, have been sent
to the Commandants of the Royalist corps, covering a
pretended order from the King, which states it to be his
desire that the Volunteers shall resist the onlers to disarm.
Ii this circular (Arena goes on to say) the King is calum-
niated, as well as their Allies, the French, and the Com-
mandant of the Royalist Volunteers at Madrid, whose
counterfeit signature is attached to the forged circular.
This is the mode in which things at present are conducted
in Spain. li:mrmont is superseded, because he has been
moderate and prudent. The banditti, in arms throughout
Spain, refuse to disband on the Royal summons, and their
mutinous disobedience is varnished over by high and's-
rity. In fact, the Police Minister, and the other partisans
of arbitrary power in Spain, do not wish the Royalist cut-
throats to disarm; these bands are the great supporters of
despotism. The decree was extorted by Bourmont and
French influence; and wherever the disbanding of the
Mini; lute taken place, as at Logrono and elsewhere, it
hat been done ty force, and by overawing these bands with
large bodies of French troops, who have even acted against
them. If web be now the present state of Spain, what
will it be when Bounnont's influence is withdrawn ?
Letters from Corfu, .of the ISth of March, give the
Most satisfactory accounts of the Greek cause. Caron, the
strongest fortress in the Pcloponessus, it is stater], has
poaitively fallen into the hands of the Greeks, not by ca-
pitulation, but by tumult. The " Archimandrite" Zee-
bine, who returned from Russia at the close of the last
year, 't is said, directed the assault. This distinguished
ecclesiastic, zealous in the cause of his country's liberty,
meived from a Greek merchant established in Russia a
taans'dereble stun, which enabled him to enroll a corps of
Volunteers, who have already rendered the most important
services. 'the Greeks entered (7oron on the 18th of Fe-
b-uary. The Christians besieging Lepanto (so celebrated
fTinn the Great victory formerly obtained in that Gulf by
Dim John of Austria over the Infidel), aided by the skill
and advice of Colonel Stanhope, had driven the Turks
from all the outworks of the place, and hail established
themselves within them. The besieged attempted to
sortie, but were forced back with gnat loss. Several Bar-
bary corsairs, it is further stated, had been captured off
Lepanto by the Greek flotilla. Accounts from the frontiers
of Servia state, that the Pacha of Belgrade had received a
cenimunication by a Tartar courier from the Pacha of
%Viddin, whom he despatched immediately. to Constanti-
upple, stating that extraordinary movements had taken
place in the Russian army encamped on the Danube.
:several regiments, it was asserted, had put themselves in
fell march, to reitifore, on the Pruth, the army of Beau-
rahis, commanded by the Russian General Sabanieff. It
is added, that the latter, on receiving these reinforcements,
for which he waited, immediately sent a summons to the
Commander of the Ottoman forces in IVallachia and Mol-
l:one, aysignitig decisively a period for the evacuation of
these provinces, and stating that no further delay would be
conceited, even under the pretence of waiting orders from
Constantinople. Ths Divan, apprised of this determine-
non, would be obliged to declare itself, and if the answer
should not he favourable, the march it the troops of Saba-
MAI' on the principalities was no longer doubtful. The
Turkish troops aesernbled near Adrianople were, at
the last accounts, under new orders to march, not on
Thessaly but on the Danube. This order proceeded
from the deepest apprehensions of Russia and the force
then in Bessarabia. If a contest should at length take
place, the Infidel w•ili be strangler! in the gripe of a stronger
savage. The Turk cannot eland before the organised
power and immense force of Russia. All our influence and
that of Austria, however. will still be. exerted to 'procure
the evacuation of the principalities, and arrest the hovering
march of the Russian troops. If they enter Welierhia
andlfraidavia, the Porte will never recover these desolated
provinces again ; must :t would be for the interests of hu-
manity that the barbarous Infidel was expelled from them
altogether. But we would wish to see them independent,
protected by Austria anal Russia, but not the spoil of either.
