qttestion, and reengniting their independence ; and that as
to the United States they had nothing to do in an Euro-
pean Congress. Mr. Canning then definitively declared
that England would not calm .any part in a Congress
where the party most interested was not allowed to be
present: Thus it seems Ferdinand will have to get on as
well as he'ean with an expenditure .of"-800 millions of
seals, and a coming in of not entirely SOO millions. It
does not require a very profound knowledge of Cbcker
to i:"al.culate the profits and loss of such 'an account as
this. It is said M. de Villele is determined to go boldly
and frankly to work, and that he has declared that he
' will send Consuls to the Colonies ; and that be shall not
find himself puzzled to get rid of the Holy Alliance
upon that question. An expression made u..? of by an au-
gust personage, relative to the Order of St. Andrew,
conferred by the Emperor of Russia on some of the
French' Ministers, has. been often repeated during the
last few days." What would the Emperor Alexander say,
if I had given the Cordon Bleu to M. Capo d'lstria
—An Ordonnance for the creation of twenty new Peers
is expected to appear shortly : but even this number will
be far from satisfying all the ambitious that are now in
full activity, endeavouring to turn to advantage the ap-
proaching moment of the election. 4nother ,not olthe
abovementioned august personage is also in circulation.
A Peer of France, who had voted against the Spanish
war, was lately expressing hi, satisfaction that the cam-
paign had turned out so glorious for the French arms,
and added that the at my and its chief bad convinced
him that he was wrong in the opinion he gave. To
this the august . personage t eplied—" Yes, you were
wrong as to the commencement, and we as to the end."
Pozzo di Borgo openly expresses the greatest aver-
sion to all those who seem disposed in any way, to dis-
approve of, or thwart the views of the Holy Alliance,
and is petulantly exasperated against England. Rela-
tive to her conduct, he thus lately expressed himself—
" What burdens everythiag," said he, " is the Liberty
of the Press in England ; but let her take care, she may
be one day sought even in her strong hold." " That may
not be absolutely impossible," said an Englishman, who
was present, " but a much easier task would be to seek
you at St. Petersbnigh." On the Ministers of Saxony
and the Netherlands being lately presented to the Duke
d'Angouleme, his Royal Highness said to them—" Well,
your States are assembled ?" "Yes, Monseigneur." " So
much the better," added the Prince, " something good
always results from them."
EXTRACT OF ANOTHER LET
PARIS,JANUARY 14.
" Yesterday the Duke of San Carlos, Spanish Am-
bassador at this Coat:, notified to M.,de Chateaubi land,
a second tame, the official demand of the Government
of Spain, for the mediation of that of France between
her and her colonies. This renewed application, which
was first made in a less pressing manner about ten days
ago, ',Mist appear very extraordinary, coming so imme-
diately after the publication of the famous Te Dean:
and monk-restoring Decree, which has, by this time,
been inserted in all the Journals of Europe.
" A better example probably could not be afforded
of the wisdom and consistency which preside at the
councils of Ferdinand. On the first demand of mediat
tion, Mr. Canning- bad been applied to for the consen-
of England ; and if we can place any reliance on the
rumoured answers of Prince Polignac from London, the
Right Hen. Secretary is not averse to some project of
the kind. The French Ministry therefore persist in their
desire to see a Congress assembled to decide on this im-
portant ceioaion ; and viewing the late decree as of no
validity, they are not disposed to allow its publication
to stand is their way.
" In order that they may be enabled to advocate the
cause of Spaia ssith more effect, they intend to use
their influence at Madrid to obtain frum the mother
country an open avowal of a more liberal principle re-
specting America. Freedom of commerce with the colo-
nies must be granted as a preliminary."—Times.

It is stated, in a private letter from Madrid, that the
Spanish Ecclesiastics who had been ordered to quit the
capital, still remained intriguing in oftler to overthrow
02 present Ministers, because they are less intclerant
than the Monk SAEz. The letter even states as a re-
port, that a certain number of these busy and factious
Ecclesiastics, having at their bead the General of the
Cordeliers, had formed the project of bringing about
the abdication of the KING in favour of his brother, the
Infant Den CARLOS.
We much doubt the truth of this report, for this rea-
son, that o.e Spanish Clergy would scarcely calculate
on D m Canr.oZbeing mote subservient to their views
than Fastorsero. All accounts, however, agree in re.
presentivi the Royalists as much/ discontented as the
Liberals; and every day desertions take place from
the corps of the former; in one night forty mea deserted
with their horses from QuzsAna's division.

which would therefore consist only of the. frigates anal

This morning we received Frankfort and other Ger-
man Papers, from the 7th to the 14th 'inst. The Grand
Duke of HESSE-DARMSTADT, unlike some of his bro-
ther Potentates on the Continent, has abolished all the
taxes (xi Jews, as such, just at the time that in Poland
and Prussia they are reviving them. The following

are extracts
DARMSYADT, JANUARY to.
In the Budget of the Grand DuchA which contains,
on the Ways and Means, various modifications of the
existing taxes, we fiat' among those which are abolished
" All the taxes hitherto paid to the public treasury

by the Jews, as such."
CARLSRUIJE, JANUARY to.
The Official Gazette contains to-day a long decree of
the Grand Duke, which determines the political rela-
tions of the principality Furstenberg ; it is the result of
the. negotiations carried on with the house of Fursten-
berg, by the Special Committee which is charged with
the regulation of the political rights of the great families
whose domains are in the .te:Titory of the Grand Duchy.

DRESDEN, JANUARY 6.
The Diet of the old Hereditary Circles and of Upper
Lusatia was opened to-day.
After the sermon preached by Dr. Amnion, chief
Chaplain to the Court, the Deputies appeared in the
Hall of Assembly, in the Palace, when his Majesty,
with Ms Court, came in person at eleven, and took, his
seat on the throne. M. Von Globig, Minister of
,Con-
ferences, addressed the Deputies in'his Majesty's name,
after which the Royal propositions were read, and
handed by Count Banat], the Marshal of the Diet, who,
in the name of the Assembly, expressed the sentiments
of gratitude and loyalty which animated the States.

Letters and Papers %vele yesterday received from
Gibraltar to the 30th December. By the latter we
are informed that the arrivals of *heat from Lisbon
were so numerous that no sales whatever could be ef-
fected, the market being in a state of perfect glut.
The same'was the case with provisions, which had ar-
rived in too great abundance from England and Ireland.
Many of the consignees were consequently compelled
to re-ship them for England.

Letters have been received from Constantinople to the
11th December. After stating the return of the Capi-
tan Pacha with a part of his fleet, they add, that the
Divan was very much dissatisfied with the conduct of
this Commander during the late campaign, and it was
doubtful whether he would not pay with his head the
penalty of their displeasure. Constantinople was tran-
quil at the departure of the letters, but the general opi-
nion of the Christian merchants in that capital, was, that
before another campaign was opened against Greece,
the Porte would try what effect negotiation would have,
the serious sums already expended in the endeavour to
recover the sovereignty over the insurgent Provinces
having caused complete exhaustion in the financial de-
oartments of the Turkish Government.

It appears, by the accounts from Mexico, that up to
the middle of August no permanent Government had
been definitively settled and agreed upon : nor could
this possibly take place, until a Constituent Congress
was formally elected, for which express purpo-se a
Decree had been issued, but not obeyed. by several of
the Provinces. The Government existing in Mexico was,
therefore, only provisional, and only partially autho-
rised to transact business of an urgent and teMpoiary
kind, affecting the general welfare of all the States.
—Having overthrown the power of ,Spain, and-subse-
quently dispossessed Irunnrim of the crown on which
he had seized, the inhabitants suddenly found them-
selves in a dilemma, deprived of laws, and without any
centre of union. Their confusion became the greater
when they found that their leaders, the men in' whom
they had placed the utmost confidence, were theMselves
divided in their opinions as to the most eligible form
of Government, more particularly after they saw the
declarations of the Municipality of Vera Cruz, dated
March 3, 1823 ; these of the National Army of opera-
tions, in the preceding month of February ; the Resoluu
tions adopted at the Meetings in Jalapa, on the 17th and
20th of the same month ; all which papers ardently ad-
vocate the cause of a moderate Monarchy instead of a
Federal Republic.

Letters from Buenos Ayres of the Bth November, re-
ceived by way of Rio de Janeiro, state that Sir THO-
MAS HARDY, during his late visit to the former port,
has completely removed the ill-will which had arisen
in consequence of the dispute with Captain Watas,
of his Majesty's ship BRAZEN. When Sir THOMAS
HARDY arrived in the River Plate, ,the Government
of Buenos Ayres, through a parson deputed for that
purpose, solicited some. expression of opinion on his
part with regard to the correspondence which had taken
place en that occasion ; but he replied, that as the af-
fair bad by both parties been referred to the Brish Go-
vernment, he saw no necessity for his interference.—
On questioning the messenger what sort of reception
he himself might expect if be paid a ♦isit to Buenos
Ayres, Sir THOMAS HARDY was infoimed that the
Members of the Government were most anxious for
that honour, and that he might depend on every act of
courtesy and attention which it was in their power
to offer him. Sir THOMAS HARDY shortly afterwards
paid his visit to the city, where the expectations thus
held out to him were fully realized.
