['plc TIMES.]
For how long a time has the Spanish Peninsula
been the object of political curiosity ! and when
will that curiosity cease ? The French made
their first irruption in the spring of 1808. Years
of war and bloodshed followed. The Spaniards,
however, ultimately succeeded in expelling the
invadeys of their sell. In their SUCCOS they were
greatly aided by the British arms ; the feelings
of the English people in that case directing or
invigorating the policy of 'their Government.
Still, at the general peace, the public attention
of Europe was, from causes which it is unneces-
sary to enumerate, directed no less eagerly to
Spain : and perhaps •the interest excited by
the concerns of that country was never
more warmly felt than at present. All Eu-
rope acknowledges their importance, and it
seems to be admitted on all sides that they
will form an important subject of deliberation at
the ensuing Congress. That the affairs of Spain
should be thought about by the Allied Sove-
reigns of Europe, we presume Spain herself can-
tint feel to be objectionable. It is recommended
that " Princes should ponder, and thereby learn
wisdom :" but we suspect little wisdom will have
been learned, if the result of the deliberations of
the Allied Sovereigns be to commence a practical,
or, in other words, a military, interference in the
affairs of Spain. We shall discuss this subject
more 'at large to-morrow ; only hinting mean-
while that our•remarks are not bestowed upon a
mere theoretic question, but have something of
fact for their basis.

[IIIOII7IING CHRONICLE.]
Lord Harrowby has signified to his Majesty
his desire to resign the Presidency of the Council.
11l health is stated by the Noble Lord as his
motive for wishing to retire from public life.

Lord Liverpool, at the request of the friends
of Mr. Charles Wynn, is exerting all his influ-
ence (in the event of this Gentleman's being re-
filsed the Government of India) with Mr. Man-
ners Sutton, to induce him to resign the Chair of
the house of Commons, and accept of India in
its stead. Should the latter Gentleman consent
to this arrangement, hopes are entertained that
all matters may be satisfactorily adjusted. The
Court of '.Directors, it is supposed, from the con-
ciliatory and business-like character of Mr. Ma-
nners Sutton, would at all events have fewer ob-
jections to his appointment than to that of Mr.
Wynn, notwithstanding. the Indian experience of
the latter ; and with respect to. the other Body,
Ministers may be disposed to feel little appre-
hension.— (Ibid.)

[MORNING POST.]
We received last night, by express, French
Papers to the 25th instant. Their contents with
respect to the late events in Greece are still
more gratifying than the last, for the accounts
which they, give'come down to a later date, and
not only confirm the advantages reported to have
been gained by the Greeks, but announce others
of equal importance. Neither can it be said that
these statements are mere echoes of the Florence
intelligence; for they proceed from a different,
source, Venice, and are published by a Journal,l
.Le Drapeau Blanc, which has hitherto distin-1
guished itself, like the rest of Ultra Prints in
France and other countries, by its hostility to
the Greek cause. They are, therefore, neither
fresh repetitions of an
,already twice-told
tale, nor reports to which partiality has imparted
its own colouring, but may be read with confi-
deuce and exultation by all friends to justice,
religion, and humanity, as having passed the se-
vere ordeal of Ultra incredulity, and having only
}Keen published because their correctness could
neither be denied nor long concealed. The total
failure of the combined and desperate attack
made by 'the Turks, through the assistance of
the Austrians, on the l\iorea, is no limger doubt-
ful. It is equally clear that they now feel the
recoil of their vain attempt, and that it has placed
them in a situation of considerable difficulty
and danger. -Driven out of the' Morea, and
compelled to evacuate Corinth and its Cita-
del, which the Greeks had rendered unten-
able, when they
.left it, by removing all the
artillery from the ramparts, the wrecks of their
army, after repassing the IStbMus, find themselves
between two fires. For the main Grecian corps
which carried on offensive operations in Livadii
and Thessaly, at the time when Austrian ships
conveyed the Turks to the Morea, are still
acting in those countries, and cut off the possi-
bility of further retreat, whilst the victorious
Moreans, after re-occupying Corinth and its
citadel, are advancing in front across the Isthmus.

iMORNING,
The ialeat employment of time and thought is
arguing without data. Such is the predicanient
Of those who start into eager disputation upon
the recent accounts relative to the Turks and
Greeks. These narratives, vague and unauthen-
ticated as they are, can serve only to excite
doubts, ' and perhaps strengthen grounds for
hoping that the Greek cause may be still afloat.
But for any thing like convincing inference there
is no foundation. Even were the Greeks to have
gone on in a steady career of success, from the de-
struction of the Turkish fleet to the period when
their.affairs will probably be submitted to the ap-
, proaohing Congress, it would still scarcely be
possible that they could compass within that
p•?riod a total emancipation from the Turkish
yoke. Supposing that the aspect of their affairs
were such as to afford a promise of ultimate
triumph, still, it is pretty certain that those
rowers, which have an interest in checking the
ambition and defeating the intrigues of Russia,
would not leave the latter such an arena as a
Turco-Grecian war to play a game of force or
artifice for the attainment of her designs. The
establishment, them, of a Greek Empire,
could not be reasonably contemplated as the
result of the present war. That war cannot
