NAPLES, JULY 8.77-One of the last measures
adopted by 'our Government, for overawing both
the l‘itibn and the Army, and repressing the de-
rnand fora Constitution,. was to publish, in the
.official Gazette of July 4, (two days bekre the
Revolution broke ont,) the following note of the
• Russian Government, addressed to the Spanish
Minister resident at St. Petersbugh. You will
see, by this document, that the EMperor of Russia

NQTE. 'ME 'IMPERIAL RUSSIAN MINISTRY TO

TIIE RESIDENT SPANISH MINISTER.

Petersburgli, April .20. (May 3)

.Vhe note .which the 'Chevalier-de Zea de Bet-
Inudez addressed 'to the Ministry of Russia, un-
AUr the date, of tbt.l.Oth of April, has been laid

,
before theismperor.
Constantly- ratimated with the desire of seeing
the proFtelity of the state, and th. dory of they
Sovereign, maintaining themselves and ilourlshhig
together in Spain, his Majesty the Emperor
c•ould not-, nithomt profound affliction, learn the
eve,nts whic,h base occasioned the official note of
the Cheva4er Zest.

t thy- ;h those- events should be considered
only, as the deplorable consequences of the er-
rors, width-, since`' the year. 1814, seem to have
presaged a catastrophe for- the Peninsula, still ito-
thing can justify the aggressions Nvhich deliVer
tip the destinies of the country to a violent crisis.
Too often have similar disorders announc(Nl days
of sorrow. for empires. -
The,future for Spain appearg-iagain under a
sombrous and disturbed aspect. Well-founded
eisquietude must lie awakened throughout all-
Piirope ; but the more serious these circumstances
are, and the more they are capnblt of becoming
fatal- to 'that general tranquillity of which'the
world haS scarcely tasted the first fruits, the less
does it belon to the powers guaranteeing' that
univer,.al. benefit to pronounce separately, with
precipitation, and according to limited or exclu-
sive Kiews,'a definitive judgment on the tranAac-
thins which have marked the commencement of
the month of March hi -Spain.

ot doubting but that ,the Cabinet of Madrid
has addressed similar communications to all the,
Allied Courts; his Imperial _Majesty readily be-
lieves thatall Etirope is about ..to speak in one
unanimous voice to , the Span6h Government the-
:lauguage.of truth—consequently the language Of
a friendship equally frank and, well-intentioned.
,
Meanwhile, the, .ltussian _Ministry cannot
pense with adding sonic considerations on the
anterior facts to which the Chevalier Zea de Ber-
mudez has.referred in his note, Like hen,. the
Ithprial. Cabinet will invoke the testimony of
those facts, and, in citing them, wilt make known
to him the principles which the Emperor proposes
to follow in his relations with his most Christian
l‘fajesfY.
In
_slinking ,off the , foreign: yoke which the
t-sencli Revolution had imposed, Spain acquired
ioelibce titles to the esteem and gratitude of all
European Powers. •
.11us,;:a .paid her the tribute of these 'sentiments
Treaty
in:the. of the Bth (°2Oth) 1812.
Since the general Pacification, Russia has, in
concert with her Allies, given more than one, proof
of-the interest she takes in Spain. The. Carres-
voildeioce, which- has taken place between the
dlerent Courts ofEurope attests the, wish which
the Emperor has always formed that the authority,
of the King,n-fight be consolidated' in both.hemi-
spheres, through the medium of pure and gene-
rous principles, and with the support of vigorous
ln?ititutions rendered still more-vigorous by the
regular mode. of .their EStab.;islmfent. Institu-
tions which emanate from thrones are conservatory;
44. if they spriitofp:amidst troubles, they only
engender a new chaos." 14 declaring his convic-
Com. on this point; the Emjwror only speaks ac-
cording to the lessons of experience. If we look
hick on,:,the•past, great examples present them-
sekves for the meditation of nations and sove-

l ei.glis.

His Majesty persists, in his opinion ;, his wishes
are not changed : of that he. here gives the most
founal assurance.

It now belongs tclo, the Government of the Pe-
minsula to judge whether institutions imposed by
one of those violent acts,—the fatal patrimony of
the: revolution -against which Spain had strug-
gled with so muchlionour—can realize the bene-
fits which both worlds expect from the wisdom of
his. Most Catholic Majesty, and the,patriotism of
his Councils,

The path by which Spain shall choose to seek
this important object, the measures by which she
shall endeavour
.to destroy, the impression pro-
duced in Europe by the event of the mouth of
March, must determine the nature of the rela;-
tions whit:h Lis Imperial Majesty will preserve
wall the Spanish, Government, inn! the confi-
dence which he 'would always wish to testify to-
wards it.

Alresford Sheep- and Lamb Fair seems gra-
dually getting into great repute ; and from the
peculiar, advantages of situation,, and the time
when it is held (the last Thursday in , July),,
there is no doubt' but it will soon vie with Over-
ton :and other, large, sheep fairs. Upwards of
twelve thousand -,,sheep and lambs were penned
on Thorsday last, tTie greatest part of . which
were soon sold, -and the prices upon the whole
wore an improvement upon *th.ose= of tlie late
Overton Fair, aad particularly as 'to the lainbs,
wllich were in general very fine ; and a *better.
show of all kinds has been seldom seen.
