VEZEY V. AGAR.

This waS an action to recover the sum of 2821., for which the
defendant, one of his Majesty's Council, at the Chancery Bar,
was indebted to the plaintiff, who is a surveyor.
The case for the plaintiff was conducted by Mr. GURNEY'
and Mr. CHITTY, and for the defendant by Mr. SCARLETT
and the COMMON SERJEANT. •.
It appeared that the defendant is in possession of a consider.
able estate near Kentish Town. The Regent's Canal Company'
finding, that in cutting their canal, it was necessary to pass
through his grounds, determined to put that project into execu-
tion. Mr. Agar brought this action against them to recover.
damages, and in order to form a pryer estimate of the injury
he had received, employed the plaintiff to make several surveys
for him. •*. •
Several witnesses were called, wbo proved that the charges '
made by the plaintiff were the usual charges on similar occasions.
Mr. SCARLETT, for the defendant, called witnesses to prove
that the plaintiff had entered into a special agreement, to be
paid a certain sum if the defendant .paid him, and a different
sum if the Canal Company paid him..
. The CHIEF JUSTICE having summed up the evidence,• re-
marked that if they were of opinion that the plaintiff had en-
tered into this contract to charge a certain sum, and that he
afterwards charged more, he could not be entitled to recover. .
The Jury having retired for about three quarters of an hour,
returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 131/. bs.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. D.
GRAY v. CAMPBELL AND:OTBERS.

This was an action brought by the.plaintiff, an attorney,
against Messrs. Campbell, Thomson, and Waneman for the
amount, of his costs in a Chancery suit, in which the defend-
ants were with others engaged. It appeared that two of the
defendants, Campbell and Thomson, suffered judgment to go
by default, and Wanernan pleaded, first, that he was not an-
swerable, and next, that he had given no undertaking within
the last six years.
It was agreed that a verdict should be taken for the plaintiff
for the whole sum subject to a reduction on ascertaining through
the proper quarter the amount of Waneman's separate interest
in the cause.
KIIOLEY GOODMAN,-..AGREEMENT OF SEPARATION.

'Serjeant PELL stated, that this was an action brought
to recover a sum of 15/. due to the plaintiff under an agreement.
and which he had paid to the defendant's wife. The plaintiff
was the defendant's father-in-law, and the defendant having
had some unfortunate differences with his wife in the latter
part of last year, entered into an agreement, by which he un-
dertook to pay the plaintiff, as trustee for his wife, the sum of
12s. per week, but which he had-since discontinued..
The agreement having been read, John Powell proved an
acknowledgment of the defendant that he had paid for a consi-
derable time, but should not pay any longer.
J. Stringfield had gone to the defendant in May last, when
he refused to continue his payment, and advised him to pay to
prevent further trouble and expence. .- - - •
Cross-examined—The defendant said he would pay the
money if lie was certain his wife was living-in an honourable
way. Witness did' not know that Mrs. Goodman was living in
adultery with a man named Pitt. •
Elizabeth Slades knew the defendant, the wife, and, the
plaintiff. 'Witness knew Mr. Pitt, whose name had been men-
tioned'; he was, she believed, in the East India House as a
porter; he now lived in Regency-street.
Se,rjeaut V.airuitax, for the defendant, contended, .that
under. the circumstances of the case this agreement was at an -
end, aid: could not be now enforced. If the Jury shbuld be -
satisfied that the wife was living in adultery, there was an end .
.of the action. . .
Richhrd Stuart had been long acquainted with Mr. and Mrs.
Goodman. ibn Ma last tweith-night witness was at Mr. Good—
inan's house. Mrs. Goodman came-in during the evening, and, .
behaiea in every respect as she had usually done before the
separation.
.. Elizabeth Goodman, the daughter of the defendant, proved .
,that her father and mother slept in the same zoom on the event.
„ .
ing in question.
Miss Elizabeth Moffat had known Mrs. Goodman before the
separation. After that event she visited Mrs. Goodman at Re-
.geney-street ; this was about May last. In the evening Pitt
came in : Pitt called her " dear Jane," and she called him

"my love." Witness did not see any improper familiaritiei
between the parties. Mrs. Goodman told witness she was mysw
happier than ever ; that she loved Mr.' Pitt's little finger better
thim her husbard's Thole body ; she added, that her happiness
would be complete if she could have a child by him ; they slept-
,in the same bed, there being but one in the house.
Mrs. Castle, sister to the last witness, remembered Mrs.
• Goodman and Mr. Pitt coming to her house together; did not
see any thing particular pass between Mrs. Goodman and Mr.
-pia, except that they called each other "dear."
F. Stuart, son to a former witness, a porter in the East India
Company's warehouse, had seen Mrs. Goodman in May on
London-bridge, when, on asking her ho w her husband was, she
answered, " May he and 4 brother be doubly and trebly
d---_d."

_
Mr. Serjeant PEEL, in reply, lead the words of the agree-
ment, by which the wife was permitted, after the separation to
live where she pleased, and was to be totally free from " all
authority, restraint, controul, or direction of her husband," but
was to be in every respect as if sole and unmarried." He then
commented at great length on the incredibility of the last wit-
ness's statement.

Lord Chief Justice DALLAS, in charging the Jury said, if
parties agreed to a separation, and the wife returned to live with
her husband, common sense would declare that the agreement
Was at an end. But lie should be very sorry to declare that a
casual visit to a husband by a wife on a night of festival, as
iii. the present case, should oblige the husband either to turn
her out at, night, or should leave the wife destitute, the agree-
ment being destroyed by such a visit. As to the adultery of
the wife, it the Jury thought it was clearly proved that she had
lived in adultery, she was not entitled to any further claim
upon her husband. An agreement of separation could never
be considered as a permission for the wife to live in adul-
tery, but, on the contrary, he should hold, that under such cir-
cumstances the husband would be entittled to bring his action
against any one who he could prove had been guilty of a
criminal intercourse with his wife. In this particular case,
the question was, whether she had actually lived in adultery
with Pitt ? Before he entered on the evidence on this subject,
he must say, that the plaintiff was, as to that, entitled to their
favourable consideration, for if she had been living in adultery,
it was clear, from the defendant's own witnesses, that the de-
fendant was acquainted with the fact, and he should have given
notice to the plaintiff not to make any further payments to the
wife. If the Jury thought the adultery proved, the agreement
was at an end, but if not, their verdict must be for theplaintiff
—the wife's return for a single night not being sufficient to in
validate it.

The Jury consulted for a short time and then' withdrew from
the box. After remaining absent above an hour, they returned •
a verdict for the defendant, on the ground of the wife's adultery.

On Tuesday last, an elegant Silver Cup was
presented by the Coal-owners of the river Wear,'to Mr. MAR-
TINDALE, their Secretary, as a tribute of respect and esteem
for his faithful services, during a period of fifty years. On this
occasion, the. coal-owners invited between thirty and forty of
their friends to a sumptuous dinner, at the Lambton Arms, in
Chester-le-Street, where turtle, and all the delicacies of the sea-
son, were served in.; the best style. The chair was ably filled
by T. Croudace, Esq., who, in presenting the cup to Mr. Mar-
tindale, expressed, in the most appropriate and happy terms,
the flattering sentiments of the body of coal-owners. Among
the company, were the Hon. Captain Cochrane, Sir C. Sharp,
Sir R. S.Hawks, B. Ogden, Esq., J. C. Tarleton, Esq., W. M.
Lamb, Esq., T. Wade, Esq., Captain Wright, R. A.. Messrs.
Stobart, J. Dunn, Esq., Clayton, Esq., &e. &c. The meet-
ing was one of the most pleasing description, and it is unne-
cessary to add, that the evening was spent in the greatest con-
viviality. 'The following is the inscription on the cup Pre-
sented by the Coal-owners of the River Wear, to Mr. John
Martindale, as a Testimony of Esteem for his long and valu.
able Services as their Secretary, 1822."

The ensuing week will be one of great inte-
rest to the Agriculturists of this country. On Monday, Tues-
day, and-Wednesday, the Christmas Cattle Shew•s.will be held
at Steyning, Arundel and Chichester.—Some of the.iirest stock
ever seen is expected to be exhibited on these occasions.—

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE AND SPAIN.
[From the Journal des De'bats of Sumlay.l

Our readers are too well informed to require
',from us, day by day, new views on the political
situation of Europe. The great interests which
determine that Situation, and the great difficulties
which render it complex, are not of a nature to
change every morning and every evening at the
will of certain writers who make it their business
to alarm_ ardent imaginations anti uninformed
minds. It is perfect quackery, and unworthy of
any Journal which lays claim to self-respect, to
indulge in an eternal repetition of the sate
chimeras, the same declamations, and the same
invectives, on the subject ef a question which is,
doubtless, highly important, but which, on that
very account, ought not to be approached but
with the conscientious intention of speaking only
truths at once certain and useful.
It is, however, easy to understand the object
of the revolutionary Journals, skilfully disguised
as it is, in daily representing war with Spain as
a solemn resolution Of the Congress of Verona,
though nothing yet announces that any Power is
disposed to such a war, and though the prepara-
tions no where correspond with a hostile deter-
mination definitively adopted. To describe such
a war as a continental crusade against repre-
sentative Governments, is an amusement in which
the revolutionary writers are the more ready to
'take part, as they confound, under the vague
name of representative system, Governments of
the most different kind, and even things of a
totally opposite nature—the Charter of Louis
XVIII., and the Constitution of the Cortes—
the anarchy of Madrid and the. liberty of Lo►i-
don. Besides the advantage of being thus -able
to calumniate Monarchs, the declamations of the
RevOlutionists have the further object of impell-
ing to this truly'incalculable war, some sincere,
but not well-informed, friends of the cause of
monarchy. We know very worthy persons who
have fallen into this snare. "The Liberals," say
they, ".do not wish for war against Spain ; there-
fore we Royalists ought to wish for it."
Puerile reasoning! deplorable blindness! The
respectable Liberals are doubtless sincere in
their wish that there should be no war with
Spain ; but the revolutionary Liberals wish it,
anxiously desire it, and pray for it from the bot-
tom of their hearts. They wish for it, because
it would involve, at least so they hope, the King's
Government in the most cruel embarrassments—
because it would .render necessary an extraordi-
nary expenditure of 200 millions a year—be-
cause, by draining the sources of public wealth,
.it would mortally wound that credit which is
alone capable of supplying the means, of such an
expenditure—because it would create obstacles
to our commercial navigation—and finally, be-
cause it would open a series of chances which no
human prudence could previously calculate, but
among which there would be a thousand possi-
bilities of events, fatal to legitimacy and favour-,
able to convulsion.
But the revolutionists will not avow these cri-
minal hopes; they cannot advance except by an
oblique path. They place high the interest
which they take in Spain, the respect which they
bear to the constitution of the Cortes, and the.
-chimerical hopes which attach them to the suc-
cess of institutions founded on that anarchical
code.

By this plan of tactics, they drive into a dan-
gerous warmth those who, having their political
opinions composed merely of sentiments and
phrases, forget to calculate the true interests of
their country, and• to balance certain sacrifices
against possible results.
We congratulate ourselves for having spoken
of Spain only with reserve, and at intervals; by
which means we have been enabled to establish
what we said on facts. Were we to pay atten-
tion to the pains which all the journals of Europe
have taken to discuss, explain, and investigate
our articles, we should be tempted to believe
that we had said more on this great question than
those who have every morning and evening expa-
tiated on it with such admirable confidence.
The long silence of Verona has proved, that
the difficulties with which the affairs of Spain
appeared to us to be environed were far from
being vain subtleties. The august Council of
Monarchs paused long in sight of the dangers
which we pointed out, and also of others, to
which, from prudence, we did not choose to
allude.

The official declarations which have:appeared,
and which clearly indicate great circumspection,
are in no way opposed to the principles which
we have laid down on those interventions by
force of arms, which, though excusable in a case
of extreme necessity, are, as Lord Londonderry
justlydobserved, always exceptions from the true
law of nations, end which may give birth to great
misfortunes when directed against a generous
• nation of high patriotic feeling, and impatient,
not merely of a foreign yoke, but even of foreign

succour.
Those good men who appeared at first sur-
,prized at the nature of the view we had taken,
i.l.lave hastened to renounce their error ; and, now
-enlightened by reflection, do us the justice to
.acknowledge that we 'have opposed useful truths
-to a dangerous delusion.

The disposition to listen to reasoning and facts,
in preference to declamations and reveries, hav-
ing become- almost general, we shall now indicate
a particular point of view, which is one of the
most important, and to which little attention Hp-
pears hitherto to have been paid.
France, it is said, possesses the right of putting
, down a •state of things in Spain which keeps
France herself in continual danger:
We have no need here to examine the limits
and conditions of this right. We shall merely
show, that the exercise of this right is very diffi-
%cult—very hazardous to direct in the particular
' -situation of France with respect to Spain. We
set out at first with the principle that every idea
of conquest, of aggrandizement, or of terri-,
torial indemnity, is out of the question.—;
„The pure and noble object which alone can
-enter • into the views of the King's Govern-,

' ment, is to establish in Spain an order of things
which shall not menace legitimate monarchies—a
desirable end, if it were possible to attain it. But
what a responsibility for us, if by a wrong choice
of the means, we fail in our object; for to fail in
an object is in all cases to make it recede farther
from our reach, its many to render future success
impossible. The continual danger resulting from
the situation of Spain-might-not cease with the
present state of things. It would still be neces-
sary that those who overthrow the existing Go.
vernment should substitute another Government
which might afford us a pledge of tranquillity.—
Now we are convinced' that no human power
could, except by means of a protracted military
occupation, guarantee a stable and tranquil state
of things in Spain. But a military occupation
appears to us pregnant with dangers still more
pressing, and of a nature far more important.
Suppose the present state of affairs changed by
an armed interference, however successful—sup-
pose us at Madrid, surrounded by a victorious
army—the King and his august Family have
been respected by the revolutionists—they have
not been dragged to the Isle• of Leon ! What
Government could be established in Spain ? It is
not forms only which are i❑ question here—it is
men. There have been in Spain, between the
years 1814 and 1820, at least ten complete
changes of Ministry ; there exist from 40 to 50
persons who have successively filled the places
of Ministers, and who, almost all, have been dis-
gracefully dismissed. Such, especially, was the
lot of MM. Pizarro and Garay, who acknow-
ledged on all hands that absolute power ought
not to be restored in Spain—that it is morally
dead ; and who alone excited a certain ex-
pectation of stability, resting on their well-
known talents. We know that these con-
tinual changes were attributed to the inhe-
rent defects in absolute power: as it is, however,
dead, no one wishes to raise its ghost. But
three years of constitutional rule have not been
less fruitful of change, dictated by dissensions
successively created among remarkable men, and
their coteries improperly called parties. There
have been nearly two ministers for each year,.
and without reckoning provisional ministers, mi-
nisters ad interim, and ministers refusing to act,
we may compute at 30 or 40, the number of ,men
who have sat in council, all in turn scandalized
and discredited in public opinion. Now, from
whence will you take men invested with that
superior moral force which is especially neces-
sary to a government legislative and restorative ?
The ministerial matter seems to be exhausted.
Every combination has been tried—all classes of
citizens have been put to the proof--noblemen
of rank, prelates, advocates, journalists, monks,
naval captains, and engineers, figure in the di-
vers lists• of administration.

Spain is arrived at the point to which perpe-
tual changes must conduct every nation delivered
over to this dangerous sport. Men are for the
moment without moral credit, and authority only
inspires ephemeral confidence.

Suppose, however, a French army of 80,000
or 100,000 men master of Spain. What means
exist of organizing a Government capable of du.
ration, and of securing the future tranquillity of
the country, after the return of the liberating
army ? Where are to be found the elements of
such a Government ?

It is necessary, then, always to recur to a pro-
longed military occupation. But might not as much
security be produced by an army of 30,000 nen
stationed on 'the Pyrennees, as by 100,000 men
scattered over the whole Peninsula?

This difficulty is therefore a very weighty
reason in addition to all those which render the
mere possibility of a political situation which
would force France to make war against Spain a
subject to be regretted. We admit, and we
always must admit, that the revolutionary violence
of some Spaniards may, in spite of all the pru-
dence of the French Government, occasion this
unfortunate necessity.
But we think that one of the means of abating
the violence of the Spaniards would be to refrain

from expressing with vehemence a desire' forcibly
to change in Spain an order of things which
might be succeeded by one still worse, from the
mere attempt or even bare threat of change. By
wishing that Spain should be allowed time to re-
flect and to compose itself, we do not' aid the
revolutionists of Madrid ;, on the contrary, we
believe that such a proceeding would paralyze
their power, for it is founded only upon fears
and the illusions of passion : reflection would
destroy it, and more rapidly than is probably
imagined. We desire, and always shall, that in
time, and with the consent of the King, there
should arise in Spain, we will not say a party,
but a union of men sufficiently powerful and ail-
ficiently skilful to acquire and retain in their
hands an authority capable of effecting, without
foreign interference or civil war, the modifica-
tions which assuredly all enlightened men in
Spain wish for, but which they have good reason
for not. approving as long as they are proposed
to them in a hostile manner. It is in this view
of the subject that we agree with the Moniteur
in regarding the friendly relations subsisting be-
tween the Bourbons of Prance and Spain at a
source of hope.
A Foreign Power could not give to a Spanish
Ministry the necessary qualifications to enable it
to support itself without assistance. Must an
army of occupation, then, be left in Spain ? No,
it will be said ; improved political institutions
would suffice to consolidate the state of things
that would be established. It is a very danger-
ous thing for a Foreign Power to form, or to
assist in forming, Constitutions. Is it possible,
at this moment, to strike off at a heat, a good
Constitution for Spain ?
Spain swarms with Nobles, but it ha's few of
a description to compose a political aristocracy
of any strength. Have we not seen how the very
small number of landed proprietors who exist in
Spain were delighted with the law against ma-
jorats, and how they hastened to sell their feoff-
ments one after the other ? Have we not seen,
and do we not still see, Spanish grandees of the
first rank members of patriotic societies ? A
Chamber of Peers in Spain would doubtless be
an institution capable -of becoming a guarantee

hereafter; but at present it would be itself with.
out a guarantee, as well as without power.

The mass of persons who take a part in poli-
tics in Spain is at present composed of three
classes ; or,"more properly speaking, there are in
that country three democracies naturally distinct.
The first consists of the beneficed clergy and the
monks ; this class is the least friendly to the ex-
isting Constitution, but it is not favourable to any-
other power than its own—it declines in a great
degree towards a republican theocracy. Mer-
chants form the second class ; probably indiffe-
rent as to the political institutions, but decidedly
opposed to military occupations. The third class
is composed of the Liberal nobles, military offi-
cers,ilawyers, and of all persons who are actively
connected with the present state of things. The
rest of the nation have no political ideas. I mis-
take—they possess one which prompts them to
shoot or stab every foreigner who would attempt
to enter their country in a hostile manner.
Now, frame wise, well-balanced Constitutions
for a people thus strange to the manners and
social state of other European nations ! The
best Constitution will not put an end to guerillas
or conspiracies, nor to the furious contests of
parties.

Some persons, doubtless full of erudition, pro-
pose to re-establish the ancient Cortes of Castile
and Arragon. This proposition has been favour-
ably received by all that party who are desirous
of armed interference ; but to induce its aban-
donment, it is sufficient to point out thafthe old
assemblies of the Cortes (that. of Arragon espe-
cially) possessed a still more extensive power
than their rctual successors; and that the famous
oath of the Arragonese, " If not, not," is a prin-
ciple of insurrection far more popular and dan-
gerous than the abstract theories set out in the
constitution of Cadiz.,

Charters, ancient or modern—theories, good or
evil—these things have no power to cure the
fever of civil commotion.

Force—wisdom—these are necessary; but
where shall we look, for them in a nation agi-
tated—distracted ; in a nation which foreign in-
vasion may drive to acts of irremediable fury ?
Take the case as we may, any central power
established at Madrid by the assistance of
foreigner's would infallibly be met with oppo-
sition in the provinces ; and that opposition, in the
present moral state of Spain, will never, have to
look far for men disposed to rush to the field
with muskets on their shoulders.

We will add, too, that we have hopes from the
character and from the spirit of the Spanish na-
tion, which- (lid not commence a revolution to
establish anti-monarchical institutions—to crush
the throne and the existing dynasty ; but which,
having taken up arms to defend its lawful Sove-
reign against a usurper, found itself compelled,
by events, to create a constitution for itself by
way of rallying point—a provisional constitution,
of which it foresaw the defects, and which it re-
served to itself the right of revising. Will the
Royalists forget that Cadiz was the La Vendee
of Spain ? Shall we despair of seeing those who
defended their legitimate rulers against Buona-
parte, correct, of themselves, those excesses
which have not originated in their plan of revo-
lution, but to which the coincidence of circum-
stances only has given birth

PA DEc.7.—We are assured that the Cham-
bers will be convoked for the 4th of January.

To-day, before mass (which was celebrated in the Royal
apartment,) the King received, in private audience, his Excel-
lency the Russian Ambassador.
The Courier FraUgais contradicts the report which it had
previously noticed of the arrival of the Duke of Wellington at
Paris, and mentions- that an Evening Journal had announced that
he was not expected until towards the end of the month.
The Courier Francois also states, on the authority of a pri-
vate letter from Verona, that five clerks belonging to the Aus-
trian di_plomicy have been arrested. They are accused, it is
said, of communicating secret documents to one of the Powers
represented at the Congress.
We announced from the English Journals that the settle-
ment. of the account had produced great disasters on the Ex-
change. The Exchange of Paris had been more fortunate, the
settlement not having caused a single failure.
We (L'Etoile) have received aletter from Lisbon, which an-
nounces that her Majesty the Queen of Portugal has refused to
swear obedience to the Constitution. On being, in consequence
of this refusal; menaced with expulsion from the kingdom, her
Majesty replied, that she would consent to it, provided that the
dower which she brought to the King her husband was return-
ed to her.

All letters from the frontiers of Spain agree that the greatest
enthusiasm reigns among the Constitutional troops. The suc-
cesses they have obtained over the Bands of the Faith have
redoubled their confidence•in their General, and their devotion
to their country.
"The .Etoik announces this evening that M. Silvestre de Savy,
Counsellor in the Royal Council of Public Instruction, had
given in his • resignation. The same Journal had also an-
nounced the resignation of Abbe Nicole, and this news has
been contradicted. These announcements of destitutions, it
begins to be believed, are indirect invitations to functionaries
from impatient aspirers, of which the zeal for religion and sound
doctrines has not yet obtained sufficient appointments, and who
would wish to see realised in their own persons, as with those
whose places they covet, this proverb—.

A ceux qui font vreu d'etre siens.—( Courier Francais.)

VERONA, Nov. 21.—Itis believed that it is decided that the
Allied Pbwers will not interfere in the affairs of Spain, except
in two cases. The first, if the ruling dynasty be threatened
by any personal danger or the loSs of the throne, and that
the republican system prevail in that country over the monar-
chical government. The second, if Spain threatens to.. attack
France to propagate. the Constitution of the Cortes beyond the
Pyrenees.
As to what concerns the Porte, it appears that Lord
Strangford is entrusted with removing, in concert with the
new Internuncio (M. d'Ottenfels), all the difficulties which
may still oppose a perfect agreement between the Porte and
Russia.

As to the affairs of Italy, Lord Wellington declared, 'ac-
cording to his instructions, that Great Britain will not inter.
fere with them. They will be rather the object of separate
negociations between Austria and the Sovereigns of Italy,
and perhaps will be continued at Vienna after the closing of the
Congress.

There was, on the 27th of October, a second general confer-
ence at Prince Metternich's, at which the Duke of Welling-
ton was present. The affairs of Italy in general were discussed,
but without admitting the Plenipotentiaries of the Sovereigns
of this Peninsula. The question, whether the territories occu-
pied by ,the Austrian troops, and particularly Naples and Pied-
mont, should continue to be so by' any foreign troops ? was an
important object of discussion on this occasion. It is said that
in this conference it was resolved, on the proposition of Prince
Metternich, to leave the Austrian troops provisionally both in
Naples and in Piedmont. The motive given for this measure is,
that the interior of Italy is not yet perfectly quiet ; that, besides,
the secret plots of the Carbonari continue; in fine, that there
are a great number of Neapolitan and Piedmontese Refugees
in Spain, who may thence attempt again to disturb Italy. At
the same time common measures will be taken in all the States
of Italy, entirely to extirpate the sect of Carbonari Prince
Metternich often takes his promenade before dinner with the
Duke of Wellington. This Lord is treated with great distinc-
tion, but he lives in great retirement, on account of the state of
his health. He has only been present at a very small number
of conferences; he only takes an active part when the instruc-
tions of his Cabinet expressly authorize him. Lord Clanwilliam
conducts the diplomatic affairs. •

during his residence at Vienna and here, many marks of good•
will and confidence.—(Gazette cf Nuremberg.)
NUREMBURG, Nov. 30.—A letter from Constantinople
says, that news had been received there of the death of the
Pacha of Egypt ; but the Divan had some reason for not let-
ting this event be publicly ktiarn. The same letter says that
the Government had intercepted some letters, after which it had
caused about 60 Greeks to be arrested. It is, also stated that
the Porte has founded a school at Constantinople, in which
young Turks will be instructed in the European languages,
especially in French. This will in future prevent the necessity
of choosing Greeks, for Draomans.
Por:rsii FRONTIERS, Noy: 18.—We extract the following
from a letter from Warsaw :—" We now hear no more of the
affairs of the Greeks. It is affirmed that they have turned to
'mother quarter for assistance, and that their application has
there met with more attention. So much seems to result from
some accounts, that the Policy of a Great Cabinet, since the
changes that have-taken place ins the Members of it, proceeds
upon principles different from those on which it acted before.—
In our Kingdom orders of Knighthood have been conferred on
the Marshals of Districts, who have succeeded in making the
election of Deputies to the next Diet fall upon persons who are
especially distinguished for their devotedness to the Govern-
ment. It may therefore be expected, that in the approaching
Diet there will be no great opposition."
FROM THE DANUBE, Nov. 23.—The Porte perseveres in
its system respecting ships bound to Odessa and other Russian
ports in the Euxine.to take in cargoes of corn. Every pos-
sible obstacle is thrown in the way of their voyage thither; and
those that arrive from the Euxine are obliged to sell cargoes
at prices fixed in Constantinople. Sometimes, indeed, the
Captain of a corn vessel succeeds in obtaining permission to
prosecute his voyage. There are fewer difficulties for vessels
laden with other goods. The chief cause of this measure is,
that the Porte believes that the European ships sell the corn
to the inhabitants of the islands in the Morca, and 'that all
assurances made to the contrary to the Divan are only.to lull
its suspicions, and are not to be de ended upon. The measure
cannot be ascribed to any' want of corn in Constantinople it-
self, for the capital is well provided from the Black' Sea,
where large quantities have been collected. The system of
vigour observed towards the Janissaries has been relaxed.—
Another mode has been adopted to keep them in order. Those
who have most influence with their corps have been gained by
presents of money, and have engaged to maintain tranquillity.
So far they have kept their word, and probably hope that their
influence will be farther secured by new presents.—( Nurem-
berg Correspondent, Dcc. 1.)
BUCHAREST, Nov. 4.—Our Prince's love of justice has re-
moved all diffieulties ;:he, continues most severely to punish
all acts of extortion committed on the poor subjects, and he
has publicly declared to the Bojars in the Divan that he will
rigorously punish ever.), person who shall be guilty of any act
of injustice. He is in consequence adored by the people.—
Public offices are no longer sold to the highest bidder, as was
formerly the custom, but conferred upon the native Bojars, ac-
cording to their merit. _ _

Count Lutzow passed through this city to-day on his return
to Vienna ; he had several conferences with our Prince. The
Turkish garTison has left BuCharest, and gone to the Convents
of Vakereschtin and Korredzeny. Since the arrival of the
Prince the City has presented such a scene of activity and
trade; that people seem- no longer to recollect what has passed.
A letter from Widdin, of 19th ofOctober says, that the late
Kalmacan of Crajova, Costaki Samurkutsch, has gone over to
the Mahornetan religion. It is not certainly known what his
motives were. Most persons are of opinion that he has taken
this step out of interest, as he has the plan, it is said, to marry
the daughter of the Pacha of Widdin, and by means of this
alliance to obtain the office of Dragoman to the Porte. When
he has obtained this post, he may be serviceable to his country-
men, the Greeks.

The Metropolitan, and a number of Boyars, are still at
Cronstadt, and will not come hither, though the Prince has
sent them three invitations ; they appear to wait partly for the
decision of the Congress, and partly for the arrival of the Rus-
sian Consulate.—(Algoncinc Zcitung, Nov. 30.)

SPAIN.
MADRID, Nov. 25.

The news from Catalonia do not go beyond the 16th. The
head-quarters were at Pons, on the 13th. Important operations
of the Constitutional army were expected. Throughout the
whole of the province a progressive amelioration is expected.—
The Monks who show themselves opposed to the Government
are every where hunted out. The factious present themselves,
to take advantage of the amnesty, and when General Mina
shall have purged the Spanish territory of the pretended'Re-
gency of the Kingdom, it is to be presumed that tranquillity
will be soon. re-established.
The Cortes' in yesterday's sitting, discussed the additional
budget of the M inster of 31 arin e. The Committee had limited
in his report this budget to about 17 millions of reals (170,0001.)
which was allowed.

The Commandant-General of Madrid has just declared that
the Ex-Minister Garely is at liberty, because, in the process
instituted against him by the Fiscal, raredes, there were nei-
ther proof nor even indications of culpAbility against him, Mar-
tinez de la Rosa, M. Moscoso, and the other individuals to whom
the Ministry was entrusted on the 7th July.
Much activity is observed in our dock-yards of Carthagena
and Cadiz. In the last of these poits are already the ships of
war, Colossus and St. Paul, which have been repaired at Car-
thagena, with frigates and some corvettes. It is thought that a
squadron will leave Cadiz in the course of December, but its
exact desti*ation is unknown. Some persons spread the report
that it is to go to Vera Cruz, where we are still masters of the
castle of St. John of Ulloa ; but these rumours appear ill-
founded. It is 'not at the moment when our country is threat-
ened with an invasion, that our Government could conceive the
idea of removing to a distance the forces which might secure
our coasts. Such improvidence would have all the appearance
of treason, and could not be committed in the hope of retaking
colonies which we could never keep.
