set fire to the town, had surrendered it to the
besiegers. Ibrahim Pacha is stated to have
marched a second time against Napoli di Ro-
mania, with the determination to destroy it, if
he could not reduce it by capitulation. Another
account, however, assures us, that the Egyptian
had been compelled, by the manoeuvres of Ypsi-
lanti,, to separate himself from Tripolizza, where
he left a garrison of 2,000 men ; and that this
place had been. carried by the Greeks by a coup
de main. By this event the Paella would find
himself more narrowly hemmed in than ever by
the united Greek forces ; and his position will
become very critical, his force being reduced to
between five and six thousand men. It is as-
serted that the naval operations of the Greeks
have been retarded by order of the Government,
until the determination of Austria as to the ques-
tiOu of neutrality be ascertained. The principal
Greek Generals are seriously occupied iu form-
ing disciplined troops. They are said to be all
agreed upon this point, the invasion of Ibrahim
Paella baying taught them the necessity of it.

TTIIE PUBLIC LEDGE:K.I
• The Paris Papers continue to publish the most
alarming intelligence from Spain. Those of Mon-
day, which came to hand last night, mention that
Doti Carlos, the King's brother, has been arrest-
ed, and that the, troops sent against Bessieres
have joined this rebel. These accounts are given
on the authority of letters of the 18th ult.
from Madrid. The Etoile of Tuesday, which
has also reached us, gives them the most point-
ed contradiction ; and quotes letters of the
9.9-d, in proof of their falsehood. But the Etoile
does not tell us what was the situation of Bessie-
res at that date ; and from this silence it is
quite evident that he was still in arms ? whilst
it gives room to suppose that the superiority
vi;ts on his side. Had he been hard pressed,
the circumstance would have been blazoned

forth ; and this omission gives an appearance of
consistency to the sinister rumours in circula.
tion. Bessieres's expedition, alarming as it is,
is, however, no more than an episode in the
epic of Spanish affairs, as almost all the Roy-
alist Leaders are his accomplices or well-wishers.
The Trappist was only prevented by the vigi-
lance of the Government from hoisting the
standard of revolt; and it is well known that thc•
Royalist Volunteers, nearly to a man, are ready
to join in any enterprize, however criminal, pro-
vided it holds out to them a prospect of gratify-
ing their licentious and predatory habits. These
miscreants merely defend the Throne and the
Altar because it gives them a licence to commit
every outrage on their betters, and to indulge in
that hatred which men of desperate and flagitious
character always feel for that portion of society
who, from their superior knowledge, morals,
and their stake in the country, are naturally
hostile to the wild freaks and gross abuses of
unrestricted authority.—This explains the vio-
lence of their proceedings, as well as the un-
compromising character of their loyalty ; but
the anarchy, which has been the result, and which
threatens the complete dissolution of the political
fabric, has at last impressed, even upon Ferdi-
nand, the necessity of curbing their zeal. lie
will find, however, that he has undertaken a task
which exceeds his strength, particularly as the
whole body of the Serviles are infected with the
spirit of disaffection. If the infection has reached
his own family, the difficulty of his situation may
be more easily conceived than described ;
whilst it would be a frightful illustration
of the immoral tendency of despotism, under
which the most sacred ties are despised,
and the most natural affections trampled
upon. It arms the brother against the life of
the brother, the son against that of his father, and
even the wife against her husband. If Don Car-
los be really privy to the horrible designs that
are ascribed to the Serviles, it would be only a
judgment upon Ferdinand for his own unnatural
conduct ; but the subject is too abhorrent to human
nature, and we should have turned away from it
with loathing, were it not the striking illustra-
tion it affords of the demoralizing effects of ar-
bitrary power.

[N EW TIM ES.]
The Etoile of Tuesday gives the Monday's
prices of the 'Three per Cents. at 7'2 10, which
shows that they are not quite in so desperate a
.plight as the Croakers on our Stock Exchange
had supposed.- It is'a little, or rather not a little,
remarkable, that the soi-disant Royal paper, the
Journal des Daats, and the avowedly liberal
paper, the Constitutionnel, have the same private
correspondent at Madrid. We own this fact ren-
ders us a little sceptical as to the alarming ac-
count that these two papers give us of the rebel-
lion of l3essieres, against whom they assert that
four •thousand men and six pieces of cannon
have been already sent. At the same time we
are far from disputing the existence of a Royalist
insurrection, as senseless and aimless as the Anti-
Royalist insurrection of 182; nor do we mean
to contend that King Ferdinand or his Ministers
are likely to show greater ability in putting down
the one than the other. Gut this miserable state
of Spain is no news to any person of common in-
formation.- That wretched country had one,
and only one, chance of a reasonable settlement
of its affairs ; it was when the Cortes, with equal
stupidity and insolence, rejected the advice of
the English Government to modify that piece
of insanity which they called a Constitution !
It appears from the Quotidienne that the Roman
Government is busying itself in- rooting out the
remains of Carbonarism. We think this is almost
a superfluous trouble. The Carbonari, in their
" most high and palmy state," showed themselves
such bunglers at plotting.; that they may now' be
lift with perfect safety to any absurd schemes
which they may devise. The latest account
from Greece appears to be that brought by a
vessel which left Corfo on the sth of August, and
the Master of which states that iViissoloughi had
not then surrendered, but that the Turks had
filled up the ditches and prepared every thing for
general assault. Other rumours, but of a very
vague nature, state the town to have fallen on the
22d or 23d of July.
