GERMAN PAPERS.

MANNHEIM, FEB. 11.-Dr. Gutzkow was yesterday re-
leased from his confinement, but he is so ill that he is
obliged to defer his departure. The well-known A. Schafer,
who is in confinement at Stuttgard, for a similar reason
will likewise be soon set at liberty.

FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, FEa. I.—We now learn,
from a very respectable source, that the renicinstrance
against Prince Stourdza, which was sent by the oppositto.;
to St. Petersburg and Constantinople, was not drawn up by
the excited Bojars, though they, properly speaking, gave
occasion to this document. The opposition does not make
any secret of the fact, that Prince Demeter Morusi and
Count Constantine Batsch are the real authors of the re-
monstrance, by means of which, they expect to overthrow
the Prince's Government. Prince Morusi is of the well_
known Fanariot family, and has. connections in St. Peters
burgh and Constantinople. Count Constantine Balsek, be-
longing to one of the principal Moldavian families, is Rus-
sian Councillor of State (out of service), of the school o-
Cape d'lstria, with whom be attended the Congress of
Vienna, and continued attached to his departmeent tilt
he left it.
It is natural thp:c the Opposition, relying on the influence
of such able mien, dreamt of nothing less than dethroning
the Prince ; but, on a calm view of the state of Moldavia,
Ive
tr- take it for granted that Prince Stourdza will at present
.4mph over his adversaries in case the Courts of St. Pe-
tersburg and Constantinople should grant the wishfor a
mixed commission.—Hamburgh Papers, Feb. 19-

interest of the city of Frankfort, his Majesty the Kin... of
Great Britain, animated by the wish, in concert with the
Senate of the free city of Frankfort, to relieve the latter
from the prejudice hence arising to it, the two contracting-
parties have agreed reciprocally to relieve each other from
some of the stipulations of that treaty, and have appointed
us their plenipotentiaries for that purpose :—His Majesty

SPAIN.

ALLEGED TREACHERY OF GEN. CORDOVA.

The Flirt brig, Osprey cutter, and Royal Tar steamer,
have this week arrived from Santander The Osprey left
on the 9th inst., on which day Lord William Paget marched
to join the British Legion at Vittoria, with 50 lancers and
50 artillerymen, and two 12-pounder guns. The letters
from Vittoria and Santander, by these vessels, give a very
melancholy picture of affairs, and exhibit as usual the
treachery and dishonesty of the Spaniards, and the misera-
ble condition of the country. Provisions were very scarce
at both places, and could not be purchased by the officers,
as they were nine months' pay in arrears, though a promise
was held out that pay for six weeks of that period would
shortly be paid to them. From want of clothing and insuf-
ficient shelter, the recruits at Santander and the army at
Vittoria were very sickly ; fever of a typhus nature was
carrying off nearly fifteen a day at the former place, and in
fact from one cause or another, it was doubtful if General
Evang could muster more than 3,000 bayonets in the field ; i
added to which, it was evident that Cordova, who s un-
doubtedly a Carlist, purposely retreated when be had given
orders to his right wing, which,was commanded by Evans,
to advance after the battle of the 17th January, by which
manoeuvre the whole British Legion and two battalions
of Spaniards would have been surrounded by the entire
Carlist force, had not Gen. Evans suddenly moved back
upon Vittoria in the night time. The French General who
commanded the left wing, and who was ignorant of the
danger into which Evans had been betrayed, was subse-
quently loud in his complaints against Cordova, and openly
accused him of duplicity ; and their joint remonstrances on
the subject to the Spauish Government will, no doubt, have
the effect of immediately removing him from the command
of the army, to which it was said Mina was appointed.
Colonel Dickson and Colonel Fitzgerald had both quitted
the Spanish service in disgust, and are now in England.
The Castor, English frigate, with a French brig-of-war and
r Spanish brig-of-war, were at Santander, but the latter vessel
did nothing ; she did not even attempt to relieve St. Se-
bastian, though our unarmed steamers in the Queen's em-
ploy did so with impunity ; one of them had recently con-
veyed ordnance stores, and two long 24-pounders from
Corunna, and the Reyna left on the ith with a further
supply. The Carlists had quitted the neighbourhood, and
had taken their battering train to Guetaria, a place about
nine miles to the westward. The steamers out there were
the Reyna, Isabella the Second, and City of Edinburgh.
The town of St. Sebastian is greatly damaged ; the streets
are blockaded at each end, and is now garrisoned by 2,000
Spaniards, the English having been removed to Santander.
The only provisions the inhabitants can obtain are brought
from France, and it is much to be regretted that all the
eatables required by the army are not supplied from the
same country.—Hampshire Telegraph,
