ion n ce. The people of Russia are not a race of beings

:now why the Nobles should have occasioned an

In a ,other part of our Paper we give further details of
the pr., ~tedings in Spain. We are not disposed to expect
in,„l, twit can be very favourable to this country. The
of the new Ministers were relied on by some
peri- s promising a fortunate result to Great Britain :
but. v... that facts, which are always better evidence
c. •Actcrs. seem to indicate nothing that can be dan-
t—to.; • 'he French Power. The disposition of the new
lin appears very clearly from the message that
he II :s • ~:11Mlitleated to the heads of the Council, hy Don
l'Enn 7*.v.m.os ; and whether that disposition have been
eery aby friendship, or by fear, we shall care very
f; !ong as we find it so 'decidedly friendly towards
further argument of the new King's good-will
t:t • ;ch interests, may be gathered from his having
tit that he some time ago determined on asking in
in :
tre a French Princess of the Blood. That the peo-
ple unfriendly to the French is not to be believed, only
some little disagreements arise between the Spa-
n, ,o mob anti the French soldiery : for the people of any
rc-.-) ri:ay vlarrel with those persons as guests, to whom
ye no objection as allies. But at any rate,
if 1,.;• bad reason to think that the people, the Mini-
T;ing, were all of them hostile to France,
we exe.c.t. from such a hostility no ultimate advan-
lc:it:rests of Great Britain, or to the tranquil-
lity of :.:,rope. lioN AP.% RTE and his troops are hovering
.Dyer : Ern:. Spavish armies have been sent away from
home : w!iaLer,n we expect ? Why, we must expect to see
the Spanish monarchy a province of France, and to flirt
the young Pr;ece of Ast,xias, who has just mounted the
throne, as- eompleely 'a viceroy of the French Emperor,
as thefralernal Kings of Naples, Westphalia, and Holland !

In the early part of the week rumours prevailed that
.General ARMSTROMI was coining to this country, autho-
rised by the American Government, with the consent of
I;ON APARTP, to act iwconjunetion with Mr. PiscKNF,v, as
)lediator between i'mgland and France. This news, how-
ever, is now universally discredited. •
From the silence of Covcrninent, as to Mr. Hoses ac-
rount of his mission, we at,!;ur nothing favourable. The
fart seems to be, that except the adjustment, matter--
remain exactly as they were. Mr. Nonasx, with his dis-
lltches has now, beau a month at Paris : and we fear 0
till hi! found that the french. inem to take post in the
• loridits,• in order to overawe the United States.

From the American .papers we timl that their govern-
Stein have shown a disposition to incrclsc their military
tiirre. However in the Ntessage from the President, in-.
roditring this measure, there was no pointed alhision to
Nier of the European belligerent Yoe e•;s. hi other
