DUTCH PAPERS.

Baussm.s, MARCh 4.—Letters from the frontiers
of Italy positively state, that various movements
are making by the Sardinian troops, and that they
are all placing on the war establishment. It is be-
lieved, that in case war should break out between
France anti Spain, a corps of Piedmontese troops
will be embarked at Genoa for Catalonia, where
they will joid the Spanish Royalists.
FRONTIERS OF ITALY, FEL 22.—Letters from
Venice say, that news had been received there from
Corfu, of the arrival of a new Greek flotilla in the
lonian seas, which has joined the squadron that
blockades the entrance of the Gulf of Lepanto.
They arc both destined to continue the blockade, of
the fortresses on the sea-coast, still in the handcar
the Turks, and to accelerate their surrender.
The squadron of Missolunghi has captured several
European vessels which attempted to early provie
sions to the Turks, and had violated the Greek
blockade. The English now treat the Greeks very
and are on the best terms with them. News
has just been received, that the English consuls,
Green and Meyer, who are so much disliked lay the
Greeks, have been recalled from thJr posts at Pa-
tras anti Prcvesn.
INspaucic, FEL 24.—The bones of Andrew
.11ofer, who was put to death by the blood-thirsty
Napoleon, because he. so valiantly defended his na-
tive country, Tyrol, have been brought front Man-
tua, and were buried here in the great church with
much solemnity.
BASLE, Yea. 26.—The Swiss Ambassador at
Paris has received from the French ministry official
notice, that no more Greeks will be suffered to pass.
through France. Thus these unfortunate persons
arc deprived of this way also of returning to their
own country. On the SLIt 61 this month, six per•
sons were buried- under an avalanche, in the Scald.
laberg, near Duvos. They were, howe►er, so for.
tunate as to work their way out and save themselves.
Twenty-eight horses were buried with them, of
which twenty-sit were saved.

WI MAR, F EL 24.-.-The bulletin of the health
of M. Goethe yesterday was—" A sleepless night,
high fever, restlessucss from time to time; a general
perspiration, without much relief; towards the
morning-, the fever diminished ; the patient feels
tr&quent pains in the left side of the heart ; the
tongue is thick." The bulletin of to-day A
pretty tranquil night, moderate fever, great debility."

LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 17.

Ferdinand the Seventh has been defeated in an.
attempt to get rid of an honest Administration, and
•to substitute one which might be subservient to his
wishes—his heart is decidedly with the French ag—
gressors, and as long as the Constitutional Spaniards
take care to keep his MEAD in their possession, we
think the sooner the " Royalists," as they call
themselves, have his MODY, the better—these are not
times to " halt between. two opinions," the interest
of a noble country like Spain must not be sacrificed
to an imbecile devotee—and the Cortes will ill dis•
charge their duty if they intervene not a summary
process to prevent the King of Spain deserting to
the enemy—for however bad, however vicious,
foolish, or contemptible he may be himself, " the
King's name might be a host" if those on the ad.
verse faction had it.

We last week noticed the introduction of a Bill
to enable his Majesty to dispose of property he had
while he was Prince of Wales--.-in the common so-
ciety of honest men, if a titan by misfortune or vice
become insolvent, his friends paying his debts be-
come entitled to his effects, to reimburse themselves
is far us may be—the Prince of Wales was exempt
from misfortune, but his vices drove him to solicit
repeatedly the payment of his debts by an oppressed
and starving nation. —We leave it to those who pal-
liate the present measure, to reconcile anomalies—to.
prove that an honest act in a Prince or a King
which would be fearlessly pronounced one of villany
in a less dignified individual—the enemies of a
limited monarchical Government ask for what does
England sacrifice twelve hundred thousand pounds
sterling to the stipiort of a nugatory existence
we do not say we could justify b 0 profligate an ex-
penditure, but we are sure tliat instances like that
which has called forth these animadversions tend
mere than anything else to place such extreme pro!.
fligacy iu a very striking point of view.
