GENOA, JULY 17.-41 is Majesty's squadron
which .sailed from this port on the 15th June, ar-
rived on the 28th of the same month at Tunis. It
experienced the most friendly reception from
the Turks. The fort of La Goletta saluted the
squadron with 21 gunsochich were returned with
an'equal number, and the fort hoisted the flag of
the Pasha in compliment to the Admiral. There
is every reason to hope that the appearance of a
squadron at Tunis will *duce the most bene-
ficial effects to our commerce, and the merchants
who are_established there have already felt the
advantages of it.
ODESSA, JULY 7.—The news of the destruction
of the- Capitan Paella has excited the most enthu-
siastic joy here, and it is not doubted that this
event will have the most beneficial consequences
for the Greeks ; -but it may. be imagined what an
impression it will make on the mind of the
Sultan ; we must be prepared for horrible ex-
cesses. The extirpation of the Greeks, which
was resolved upon, and which was to be,accom-
plished under the ,cover of an amnesty, and, as it
were, sanctioned by the European Ambassadors,
has opened the eyes of the Greeks. An amnesty,
and laying down their arms, ,would be • certain
death. The Turks will often repeat the scenes
at Scio. Thus we have still unfavourable ac-
counts of the state of Constantinople after the're-
ception of that bad news, but we have no ac-
counts by sea, as not a vessel from • the capital
has arrived for several days.

SPAIN. .
TIIE CONDUCT OF FRANCE TOWARDS SPAIN.
A Madrid Government Paper of the 22d ult.
thus expresses the opinion of the best informed
party in Spain respecting - the late conduct and
demonstrations of France towards the Penin-

sula :
In a late number we expressed the just complaints whicl
Spain has to make against the French Government, and used
the strongest terms which our indignation could suggest.—
Some persons have given it as their opinion that we exceeded
due bounds, and that we have done wrong in applying'the
word " infamous" to those who rule in France. We declare
frankly that we then employed the term as the strongest which
occurred to us ; and that we would have employed any one
more abusive, if the dictionary of our language had supplied it.
If those who accuse us of exaggeration could see the corres-
pondence which we have received by to-day's post, and which
lies before us while we dictate this artiele,we are sure that they
would allow us credit for moderation in our expressions. But
what necessity is there for suing private correspondence when
the facts on which our complaints are founded are public ? Is
it not certain that the French Government has repeatedly pro-
mised to the Spanish Government to confine within their
limits the followers of Quesada, and that it never has
done so ?, Can the French Government deny that at the
time it was making. these promises, it was tolerating, and
even openly protecting, the invasion which the traitor Eguia
and his followers were organizing ? Is there in Bayonne,
or in the whole kingdom of France, ' a single Frenchman
who is ignorant that at the very moment when Louis XVIII.
was solemnly declaring that he had no hostile intentions
towards Spain, his Government was giving orders to send
troops and artillery to the frontiers to give to the supposed
cordon sanitaire the aspect of an invading army ? But they
will say that these were precautionary measures which they took,
because they anticipated what has happened in Spain. How
anticipated ! Something more than presumptions were neces-
sary to hake them act so, and it does not require a conjuror to
tell us that the house will be set on fire when alighted faggot
is put to its timbers. But potting aside the secret manoeuvres
which appear through the then disguises of diplomacy, we shall
ask if the French Government can deny that at the present mo-
ment those recruits are passing to the interior of France which
Eguia sent to Quesada as far as Bayonne ? Can that Govern-
ment, whose policy every one knows, be ignorant that there is
now, a fine caravan of 50 mules employed to carry provisions and
medicines to the insurgents commanded by Quesada, and that
they freely enter and freely leave'San Juan de pie tie Puerto
without passing. lazarettos or enduring fumigations ? Whom
can the Authorities of Bayonne prevail upon to believe, that
they are ignorant that on the Bth inst. Eguia received from.
Madrid two millions (of francs we suppose); and that this
money, together with sums previously received, are employed
by Nunez A breu (after the necessary discount for his labour
and commission) in purchasing clothes and arms for the soldiers
" of the Faith ?" And after this, shall the French Govern-
ment complain that we call their conduct infamous ? How
would the Pavillon Marsancall us if we were behaving with
half the hostility which they are showing towards us.—Nol we
are not sorry for having used the expression, and we shall re-
peat it if necessary. Eternal peace among all nations!. inter-
minable friendship with tlfe French nation, and eternal separa-
tion from all Governments that Will not treat us with the since-
rity and good faith which we evince toward them. It would be
an excess of patience, amounting to stupidity, to facilitate to
our enemies the means of carrying on their machinations against
us with impunity.
LFrom the Echo Du Midi.]
A letter from the head-quarters at Urgel, dated
July 23, states as follows :
" The well-known manufactory of guns
.at Rippol, in Cata-
lonia, which is in the possession of the Army of the Faith, is
in full Work. They are employed night and day, in order to
furnish that brave infantry with arms ; hut in spite of the zeal
and good-will of the 'workmen, they cannot supply the de-
mand, and the General is obliged to refuse many soldiers who
are eager to assist in breaking asunder the chains' which bind
their Sovereign. It is.diflicult to describe the enthusiasm of
those on whom the choice falls, and all the others wait with
impatience the moment when they shall be admitted into the
ranks of the brave.
" The gallant Commanders, Don Salvador Malavilla and
Don Thomas Costa, attacked in the commencement of the last
week the Constitutionalists who had assembled in force in the
neighbourhood of Vich, and, although the latter were much
more numerous, they were compelled by the Royalists to bar-
ricade themselves in the town. Malavilla and Costa, perceiv-
ing that the intrenchments could not be forced, without much
loss of blood, determined to wait for reinforcements, and hay-
ing taken up a position at half a. league from the town, sent
to Urgel for more troops. The Commander, Basson, at the
head of 2,000 men, immediately advanced. , As soon as he
had effected a junction, the united troops 'marched againgst
the Constitutionalists, and an estafette, just arrived, brings
intelligence‘hat they entered Vich after an obstinate contest .
The Provisional Junta of Urgel has already under ics orders
a considerable number of Cavalry, and two squadrons of Lan-
cers are now forming, composed for the most part of men who
have already been in the same service. .
A private letter announces that the Royalists are closely
pressing the Fort of Cardona ; they have already cut off the
supplies of water, and the place cannot hold out long.
A letter from Bayonne, of the 25th, gives the following ,in-
formatidn :•••••-•" The park of artillery in this town is in the same
'a nation as if for the' fitting out of a large army ; even a bridge
of. boats has just been prepared."
A letter from Roucevaux, of July 18, states that the Divi-
sion of Junanito, which occupied the environs, after having
beaten the Constitutitinalists in four engagements and entirely
dispersed•them, set out to, join the troops of Quesadd., who are
said to be full of ardour, and resolved not to, quit their posi-
tion ; they intercepted the last Courier from Navarre, and the
Constitutionalists did not dare to attack them. -
The different troops of Royalists, scattered throughout the
provinces of the Guypuscoa, 'have also obtained successes in
several encounters with the Liberates, particularly at Arpestia
and ' Vergara where the Constitutionalists were dispersed, and
left a part of their arms on the field of battle.
At Veza the Constitutionalists attacked the Royalists, when
they were so warmly received that they were put to the rout,
and forty of them made prisoners.
The last courier due from Pampeluna did ntitarrive.
The write from Bilboa that many young persons have quitted
the city to share in the glory of the defenders of the throne and
religion.
Madrid continues in a sullen torpor. The Government had
received unfavourable hews from the Constitutional troops sent
against the Royalists of Cordova and Siguenza. The eagerness
of the communeros in urging violent measures renders this Go-
vernment every day more circumspect. They talk of the de-
