GERMAN PAPERS.

We have received. the Allgemehie ZeHung, to the 427th ult.—
If any credit is due to the following article from Constantinople,
the Magnanimous Alexander is now bestirring himself to fa-
vour the Turks against the Greeks :
" CONSTAVTIN'OPLE, MAucit letter from the
Reis-Effendi to Count Nesselnxle must have long since reached
its destination. Many of the Turks flatter themselves that
Russia will now deliver up the Asiatic fortresses, which the Porte
has so perseveringly demanded, especially as the last accounts
leave no doubts of the present policy of the Russian Court,
and have clearly convinced the Porte of the sincere and noble
conduct of the Etnperor Alexander. The Russian Ambassa-
dor at Teheran, M. Maz.irevich' a friend of Count Capo
Wl:stria, and probably instructed by him, who is supposed to
have promoted the Persian war, to recalled, on which
,the
Persian Court, convinced that the Russian Emperor sincere-
ly wished well to the Porte, immediately opened a negocia-
tion for peace with the Porte. Whoever is acquainted with
the relations that have subsisted of _ late years between Persia
and Russia, will be sensible of the importance of this step. , It
was long since conjectured that Persia had commenced the war
chiefly at the instigation of the above. mentioned Russian Am-
bassador, and the Persian Minister often said, since the last un-
fortunate war with Russia, that Wan Emperor, fond of war,
reigned in Russia, Persia would be ruined. It should seem,
therefore; that Persia began the war with the Porte At the break-
ing out of the Greek insurrection, partly for its own interest,
and pertly at the instigation of the Russian Envoy, and that it
now acts quite In conformity • with the WisheS of the Russian
Coust. This event is a }vein blow upon the Greeks, its Turkey
may now direct its whole force against them. Their fate now
depends on their oin efforts, and the will of Heaven."

FLANDERS MAIL.
CONSTAN.T NOPLU,MAittni 25.—Three weeks have scarcelf
elapsed since the great,catastrophe, and already we see new ha.
bitations rise among the ruins, built as slightly and as carelessly
as the preceding, so that there will he no watt of fuel for future
tires !—The deposed Grand Vizir has chosen Nicomedia for his
residence. his dismissal is unconnected With political events.
He did not feel himself equal to his post ; he is generally cor-
sidered as -amnia of probity, as a proof of which it is said, that
when he laid down his office his' whole property amounted to
only thirty piastres. When the Sultan was informed of this he
ordered 20,000 piastres to be paid to him, and assigned hint a
monthly pension of 15,000 piastres. The most enlightened
persons m the Ministry speak highly of his' successor, Ali, It
appears that the Reis .Effendi will remain in his office. The
new Grand Vizir finds powerful assistance in tnaintaining the
peace of the city from the Aga of the Janissaries. There per.
baps never was a time when the Janissaries were so humbled
and so submissive as they now are.
Proposals of peace have been made from Persia. The Porte
wishes the negoerationsto be carried on at Erzerutn.

The Algering and Tunisian squadrons, consisting of 24 fri.
gates, corvettes, and brigs, sailed on the 24th, for the Archipe.
'ago, commanded by an experienced naval officer of the name
of Pcpeglii. It is reported, that many European seamen have
been induced by high pay to engage in his service.
Morea and 'tear:lama, are now entirely in the hands of the
Insurgents. There is indeed no news of the surrender of Pa-
tras, bait is fully expected.
The Turkish karriSon of Corinth, .according to accounts which

can hardly be discredited, as they have been .received by the'
Embassies here from several quarters, and all agree, has had a
cruel fate. Driven to extremities by famine, it was resolved to
'leave 400 men in the citadel, and with the rest, stated to be
3,000 men to go if possible to Patna.
On the way thither 1200 men were surrounded by the Insur-
gents near Vraka, East of Vostizza; they sought refuge in
a difile, where they surrendered to the enemy, on the sole con-
dition that their lives should be spared. They were all cut to
pieces the following day.'
In Albania, the disasters experienced by the Turkish corps
besieging Alissolunglii had excited such alarm, that fears were
entertained even for Prevesat. But it is thought that the
orders sent to the Pacha of Scutari, to march with his whole
force, will ►ive a new turn to affairs in that quarter.
The Pacha of Egypt has again promised the Porte the most
effectual assistence. We hesitate to specify the particulars,
because the statements seem to be exaggerated. However, all
that has been said of his projects against the Porte is cer-
tainly false.

SPAIN.
MADRID PAPERS.

MADRID, APRIL. 24.—An extraordinary courier passed last
night through this capital, with dispatches for the Government
from General Mina. Nothing has transpired of their con-
tents. The messenger only said, that that General was still in
Figueras, and that he had under his orders many and excellent
troops.
The Political Chief of Burgos, in the dispatches in which
he states the entry of the French into that city, says, " In all
the villages I perceive indignation against the French, on ac-
count of the eagerness with which they repeat the evils of the '
last war, and among the timid alone, I observe a certain apathy.
I doubt not, however, that at the moment they commence the
work of violence, violation, and plunder, they will rouse against
them the anger of the most passive, and will pay dearly for the
temerity with which they have invaded our territory."
1-li,Y Majesty having received the resignation of Senor Banos,
has nominated Don N. Maratequi to the Governmeneof the
Peninsula, who has also sent in his resignation, and is firmly
resolved not to accept the department. It also appears that his
Majesty has nominated to the department of Uhratnar, a Lieut.-
Colonel of Engineers, named Munoy, whom we know nothing
of, we can only state that he is a native of the Carraccas.
Wee have received also papers from Seville, from the 17th to
the 20th, inclusive. The Espectador, of the 17th, announces
the entry of the French merely as a rumour, and that of the
20th states that up to that day the Government had received
no official intelligence of that important event.
SEVILLE Aran. 18.—Yesterday the King, and other
Members of Royal Family, took a airing. About the place
called El poza de las Bruges, the coach in which his Majesty
was stuck fast, and so firmly, that a good deal of force was ne-
cessary to extricate it. Some of those Andalusians, who are
naturally quick and humorous, suddenly observed, " that if
his Majesty had always kept the good road his carriage would
not have stuck fast."
The consort of the Infant Don Francisco de Paula has hap-
pily given birth to a fine infant boy. Two Deputies of the
Cotter attended to recognize the birth.
We can assure our readers, that the intelligence of the in.
vasion has not yet arrived to the Government in such an of-
ficial manner as was to be expected. This circumstance may
afibrd some reason of suspecting the certainty of what we yes-
terday said in our number on this subject.' It appears to us
scarcely necessary to repeat, that, by all means, we should pro- !
emit in the same manner as if the invasion hart taken place.
SEVILLE, APRIL 20.—The Government has received of.'.
ficially the news of the entry of the French into our territory.
General Morino, as soon as he heard the invasion had really
taken place, adopted the most expedient measures to make war
(these are his own words), " against the enemies of our country
and liberty." lie has chosen Benaventa for the basis of his
operations, where he has arranged that one member of each of
the provincial deputations of the third and fourth districts shall
meet him.

Yesterday, we Raid, that we considered as more eminently
'criminal, those bastard Spaniards, who are infamous enough
to unite their arms to those of the invaders, than the in--
vaders themselves ; to-day we do not believe that we contra-
dict ourselves in affirming that we ought to carry on a more
exterminating war against the French, than the Afraneia-
mins. The reason is very obvious, the object of the imitators
of the assasins of the second oft day is, that we, Spaniards,
should destroy, each other. The greater, therefore, the
number of Spamardi who should perish, nu matter to what party
they may belong, the more Spain is weakened end bowed down,
by so much then are the wishes of the infamous Government
of France fulfilled. That' Government seeks for nothing more
eagerly than to annihilate this heroical nation, which has dis-
played sufficient energy to prostrate that great man before
whom the Despots of Europe crouched. They wish to,
weaken our strength, without diminishing their own ; and
they desire that the battle field shall be dyed with Spanish
blood alone. Ought we not, therefore, to do every thing
in our power to frustrate the infamous object on the part
of our adversaries. War, then ! war to death ! and ex-
termination to all those strangers who violate otar soil. If
Spaniards fall, let Frenchmen also perish, and let them never
be able to say that they made war against Spain through the
and at her sole expence.---( Ettpec.

We have before us various letters and journals from the Island
of Majorca, which speak of the dreadful condition in which that
island is placed, in consequence of . the'frequent arrests which
have been made by order of the Military Fiscal of Barcelona.
