cessfully desired, viz 4. the evacuation e'that
country by the French. troops, is actually ih
operation. The large garrison of Bar&lona was
to commence its march for the Pyrenees on the
/sth Or 16th nit., and'the distal's* to the fron-
tier might be traversed by infantry, within the
period of four or five days. The great import-
ance of this movement, Which is far more of a
political than a military nature, has perhaps been
overshadowed, though it ought not to have been
so in the public mind, by the transactions of the
east of Europe,—:transactions, politically as well
as locedly more remote from Great Britain and
. her interests. 'France, it is conjectured, will be
well enough pleased to
,free her hands in future
of such a load of embarassment as hien entail-
ed upon her by the unwise and odious aggression
of her Government upon the Spanish people ;
and if the latter •do not speedily act for. theiw-
selves, and not merely restore their own liberties,
but secure them, then are the predictions of
every man suppoped to be conversant with the
. temper of the Spaniards, good for nothing, and,
indeed, the lessons of, experience upon nations
even more than proverbially vain.. —lbid.
The news from Constantinople, derived through
the French and German Papers received yester-
day, is of considerable interest. Through the
• former we receive a document deserving great
attention. It 'is a declaration by the Admirals
of the combined fleet at Navarin (dated on the
24th of October,' four days after the battle), de-
claring in effect that they will controul the pirati-
cal practices of the Greeks as severely as they
have, repressed the warlike ' machinations Of the
Turks. ,‘ Your Provisional Government," says
this declaration to the Greeks, "'seems to be-
lievelhat the commanders of the allied squadrons
are not agreed on the measures proper to be
taken in order to terminate this system of illegal
pillage: It deceives itself, for we now unani-
mously declare, that we. will not suffer you, un-
der any vain pretext, to attempt to extend the
theatre of war—that is to say, the circle of your
piracies." We can hardly conceive any thing
more proper than such a declaration at such a
time : indeed, we could quote the whole of it
with pleasure. We only hope and trust
:that it will be acted on with as much energy
as it has been issued with candour and frank-
ness ; and not only that piracy will be
suppressed, . but 'that the Greeks and Turks
will be prevented from carrying on the
• work of reciprocal extermination ; and then, if
the present Ottoman Emperor be, as there is
reason to suppose, a man of unusual knowledge
'and talents'for one born in his station, that he
'will be prevailed on to receive his war-worn sub-
jects under a better and more paternal Govern-
ment than any they have been able to project
for themselves. But otherwise, if he and his
'counsellors breathe nothing but vengeance, that
the objects of that vengeance will somehow or
other, though it be difficult at present to specify
the method, be placed by Christian power and
policy beyond its reach. We are engaged in no
crusade against the 'Crescent. So we said at
the first. We are simply 'embarked in the
'cause, of huManity, and the cause .of huma-
nity is not served by the. massacre of
Mahometans any more than of Christians.—
The news through the German papers is not
less interesting. The- Sultan received, as was to
be expected, the' news of the battle:of Navarin
with the utmost indignation ; but then we should
tell his Highness, that he ought to have been able
to put an end to the war against the Greeks at
an earlier period, and without forcing the friends
of humanity to interfere, through the common
sympathies of nature. It is expected, " among
other measures, that a general arming of the whole
empire be ordered." Let the empire arm,
we sol; to preserve itselLfrom 'dismemberment.
We :know, from inanyi instances,• more par-
ticularly .in :Switzerland,, how •efficacious a pO.
pular rising:is to repel invasion, and how
inefficacious towards foreign aggrandizement
or aggression. England has no view,--France
has no view,—Russia, we trust, has no
vie*, to territorial acquisition. We only want
to protect a miserable race from extermination,
and to restore them to those rights to Which, in
the present enlightened state of the world, it is
clear that all.its inhabitants are entitled. In the

mean time, we cannot conceal that the news

which we ourselves•received last night, up to the
10th ultimo, without altering our opinion of the
importance of conciliatory conduct, impairs, to
a certain degree, our hopes of. its prevalence or
adoption in the councils of the States interested.
The embargo, as we stated, was laid on in the
port of COnstantinople ; and on that day it was
strongly believed that the negociations should he
broken off. Nearer home, also, it has been re-

rorted, we know not on what authority, that the
,mhassadors had left Pera. Leave they would,
course, if the negociations were broken off;
and should they prove to haVe left on the ac-
Count just specified, the steps menaced were—
first; a blockade of Constantinople ; next, pecu-
niary aid to the Greeks ; and, last, though not
least, the occupation of the three principalities of
Servia, Moldavia, and Walachia. These very
projected measures—the second not convenient
(unless it proceed from individuals) the last open
to many objections on the score of expediency,
—make us fervently hope that the Sultan will
adopt prudent measures, and not force us to ex-
tre ities.---Ibid.

We fear we Call no longer hold out hopes of
the possibility Of peace being preserved with
Tmkey. Positive information was received yes-
terday that the Porte has refosed'all further ne-
gotiation or even intercourse with the Anibassa•
dors of the Allies, and has also refused the Me-
diation of 'Austria. An appeal has been. made
to all good Mussulmen, to avenge the insult
which has been conamitted. Great apprehensions
are 'entertained for_ the durability of the,'Allianco
uhiler the present very critical circurristauccs,.on
which some of those did not caleulate'NVho en-
tered into the treaty more With a view to gain
time with Russia, than to come to a rupture
With'Turkey,
which would have the effect of de-
livering over the. latter Power to the former.
The affair of Navarin has, however,. committed

our Government. But, if we were to say that
the result has been one.cif satisfaction, or that it
has not given rise to very Unpleasant forebodings,
we should only be misleading our 'readers.—
