it,bas been intinrted in a private letter which
ha; arrived in town frOm Madrid, under date of
the 10th:of April, that negociations have been ac-
tualiy commenced, and are now in progress, be-
tween the Spanish GovernMent And the several
Independ9t aovernments of 'South America,
which are founded upon the basis of their ac-
knowledged independence. This intelligence is
at least extremely 'probable, for the Cabinet of
Madrid must now feel well assured that.no hope
rerna ins of inducing the South Arnericans to forego
ail the advantages purchased by several years of
privations and sacrifices, and, renouncing their
rational independence, unite their country as a
province to Spain. In fact, it is not in the power
of the mother country to offer them an equiva-
lent for such a submission, and the notion of re-
ducing thorn to their former state by force of
arms Would now be preposterous, for Spain has
been worsted in every campaign, while the In-
dependents have progressively improved in mili-
tary-skill, and in the discipline "acid composition
.of their armies; have created navies far superior
t' that of the mother country, and have farther ob-
tained the incalinlable advantage of regular and
well-organized GovernmentS. Against such means
of defence and such resources Spain would vainly
contend, and every attempt that could now be
made to reduce the Colonies would, as it affect-
ed the Patriots, tend only to a fruitless waste of
blood, while, as it regarded the interests -of
Spain, it must increase her embarrassments, ex-
haust her impoverished finances, widen still far-
ther the breach between her and her offspring
beyond the Atlantic, and give to the enemies of
social order at home a favourable opportunity
for disturbing her ilotnestice peace, and for en-
dangeiing her sources of future prosperity. Well
had it been for humanity if the Court of Madrid'
had., at an earlier period of the contest, listened
to proposals for an accornmoi.ation ; but should
the contest close even now, Spain might still in-
dace the Independent Colonies to grant to her
merchants peculiar' facilities in commerce, o
triore advantage eventually to her genei•al lute
rests than the monopoly. of trade Which she for
meriy possessed.

[NEW TIMES.]
An article from renna, of the 11th instant,
mentiods, that the commercial letters received in
that • capital from Transylvat::-t and Gallicia
agreed in stating, that great enthusiasm prevailed
at Jany. A proclamation had been published
there by Ypsilanti, congratulating' the Greeks
on a victory gained near Galatz. In advices from
other quarters, the Greeks are said to have
taken the fortress of Galatz, and to have cap-
tured -some Turkish merchant vessels on -the
Danube,. but the number of theft is variously
stated._. Two absurd and improbable rumonrs are
noticed ;. one that. an American squadron. had ap-
peared in the Archipelago, and captured five
Turkish ships of war—and another that a con.
side-table number. of Greek vessels under the
RqsSfad with a great force on board, had
entered the roadsof Constantinople. The Spanish
T0..^,-Juister of the Interior has issued a circular let-
ter' the Political Chiefs of ProVinces on the
laie events at Naples. It begins- by observing,
that:although- the course of those occurrences

We spoke in our jouinarof yesterday of the
Committee on the Agricultural Distresses. We
halite-since .11eirneil fOin"
_kentleman• who has
Lo.,,ein'e*arhined-befur6 that corninittee, that cer-
taih ifs' TYlembeft-a-inOst intOlikent tnen—Nr.
EatiriK 'and Yfilifilskisson, fox example, each
being ItilleorisChirnSeifLrhaveptrangely puzzled
t2:` t'l7eorp-r~aket3 out 'or d66.ri, 'had even the

agricultural Gentlethen on the Committee. Let
us suppose a man dying of hunger and inanition,
which is pretty nearly the case with the farmers,
it would be 'as rational a way to attempt the cure
of that man by reading to him a dissertation on
the powers of digestion, as it is to think of re-
moving the distress under which the agricultu-
rists labour, by presenting them with the Report
of a Committee. The application of a little
wholesome food would restore the famished man,
as the remission -of a portion of the money
now consigned to the support of our enotmons
establishments would set the farmer at ease.
But writing and talking are- inefficient means
in either case. " It still continues to be pre-
tended that enough cannot be saved in the
Iva.y of retrenchment,, after the interest on
the National Debt is• paid, to :confer any
sensible relief on the suffering population. We
have before exposed the folly of this pretence;
and now we ask, would not the remission of five ,
millions of taxes be seliSibly felt? No rational
man doubts that if the House of Commons, having
a just sense of the situation of the country, had
passed a Resoration at the beg-inning of the yes:
sion that the annual. expences of Government
should be diminished by five millions, leaving it
to Ministers themselves to portion out and im-
pose the several retrenchments whose aggregate
should amount to that sum, the measure would
have been effected without any great difficulty,
or inflicting any severe hardship.

{MORNING POST.]
Now that the ephemeral attempts of Naples
and Piedmont have failed, the Grecian Insurrec-
tion attracts every eye, and engrosses the atten-
tion of. every mind. Neither is this observant
anxiety confined to our countrymen, amongst
whom a struggle,for freedom, whatever be its
nature, is always sure to excite the most lively
sympathy. The interest taken in the Revolu-
tion which threatens, or rather promises, to drive
the Religion and Empire of Mohammed out of
Europe, is as general as it is deep. It prevails,
on the Continent, not among the people alone ;
it reaches the chambers and the hearts of Kings.
Indeed from the abundant information which is
allowed to appear on this subject in all the
continental Journals, we are rather tempted
to believe that the Censors of the Press feel
that the triumph of the Greeks would not be
unpletising to their masters. Every advantage
gained by the Insurgents, every statement cal-
culated to swell their force and to depreciate that
of the Porte—nay, the wildest rumours favour-
able to their cause, are given to the public with
most liberal complacency ; whilst all that related
to the Rebels of Naples and Turin, with the ex-
ception of their defeats, was dealt out with a
most strict and parsimonious hand. In countries
where the Press is free, it only expresserthe con-
flicting opinions of the community. In countries
where it is enslaved, it must naturally be regard-
ed as speaking the sense of the Government.—
This is the ground of our surmise ; but, whether
correct or not, it is evident (even supposing only
half what is stated to be true), that the Grecian in-
surrection is expanding on all sides, and acquiring
a degree of power which renders its ultimate suc-
cess at least extremely probable. The question
then arises, whether it be a desirable thing for the
peace of Europe that so mighty a change should
take place within its bosom ? Would it be likely
to disturb the order established after so many
sanguinary wars and revolutions? Would it
tend to aggrandise those who are already alinost
too great, and thus destroy that balance of power
which, though restored, is trembling still, and
might be broken by the addition of a hair? • We
candidly confess that, as the Grecian insurrec-
tion is now going on, we think it would not.
Were, indeed, the Turks driven across the Bos-
phorus by the troops of any European Monarch,
by the Imperial Guards of Petersburgh, or
the Ilulans of Vienna, we should say' at once
that the general order was infringed and the
balance of power destroyed; for in that case
the dominions of the conquered would be
added to those of the conqueror, and he would
'stand in a totally different situation towards the
rest of his Allies. The enormous weight thrown
into the scale, would bear it down with irresistible
velocity in his favour, and fresh arrangements
mast be made, if they could still be made, to
create a counterpoise. But should the Grecian
revolution succeed, without any departure. from
the plan on which it is now carried on, no such
results would be produced. A new Power, and
let it not be forgotten, a Christian Power, ,would
indeed arise in Europe, instead of the old,' 'worn-
out Empire of the Crescent ; but no addition
whatever would be made to the strength of anyof the
pre-existing European States. They would all
retain their natural proportions; and as the new
Power would only stand in the place of Turkey,
it would beat the same relations' to the rest of
Europe as that empire now does, Fresh arrange-.
ments would therefore' be unnecessary, and the
only alteration required to connect so mighty a
change with the present order of things„.syould be
merely the alteration of a name.

The New Bridge, about to be erected at
Windsor, is to be an iron one, raised upon stone
piers: when completed, it will a great improve-
ment to Windsor and Eton.

Most sincerely do we congratulate' the Pro-
testant part of the community upon the final divi-
Sion on thenom. anrCatholic Political Power Bill.
The'liOuse of Lords has once more saved the
count 4 from the dangers which threatened it by
the proceedings of Lower House. The speech
of the Duke of York upon the subject reflects'the
highest credit upon hiM t-the manly firmness lie
has displayed, ,and the distinction" he :has made
between religious liberty and political power,en-
title him to the hearty thanks of his .countrymen.
We do not fitter ourselves that this4ill be the,
last trial- the Protestant Church will have-to un
dergo,btit we hope her Members will to future j
be more en'the alert,- and that they will not suffer]

ence to prekc'eed so far without a more marked op-
position that. has been shoWn upon, the late
occasion.—(Birxineam aninierCied Herald,
