Every inquiry into the conduct of the British Go-
, vernment, and every arrival from the Continent in
which it is mentioned, confirms the wisdom of the
policy it has observed, and the ardent and un-
ceasing' exertions our Ministers have made to save
Europe from war. If we have not altogether been
able to do this, we have narrowed its scene of action,
and limited to a war between two countries what even
threatened to involve the whole of Europe. We have
often had occasion not only to defend the policy alto
our Government in the neutrality it- maintains, bog
also to point out its effect on the Continental cOwers.

• The Dutch Papers received this morning bring a
remarkable confirmation of the correctness, of our
views on this subject. They contain an article from
St. Petersburgh, of the 28th ult. of considerable im-
portance. In reference to the rumour of Russian
troops being sent to the south of Europe, it states.
that the Court of Petersburgh had at first resolved to-
place a considerable army at the disposal of the
French Government, and that even such intentieb
had been communicated to the French Ministry ; but
that " all this had been given up in, consequence of
a declaration from Sir CHARLES BAGOT, the English
Ambassador, stating that the neutrality ofGreat Bri-
tain in the war between. France and Spain was condi-
tional, and would continue only so long as the other
1 Powers of Europe should take no part in this war.
It is added, that the Court of Vienna .had also pre-
-1 sented a friendly note breathing the same spirit.
Dere, then, is a proof of the advantages of our
neutrality, and of the influence our Government pos-
sesses, notwithstanding-the assertions of the Opposi-
tion, and the Journalists who support them, that our
Minister shad been duped, and that we possessed not the
least weight in deliberating on the affairs of.Eui ope.
. Our Ministers stated that we bad isolated the war,'
and prevented the other PoWers of Europe from par-
ticipating in it. This was denied by the Opposition,
who, deceived by the assettiuns of the Morning' Chro-

~~

nide, conjured up a Russian and an Austrian army,
Iready topoence upon Spain, which we we►e said to
fisrie given up to be devoured by the Holy Alliance.
Now, we have the assurance From Russia,' not only
that she does not meditate an attack upon Spain, but'
that she abandons it on account of the remonstrance
lof our Government. ~ I

.In the SrAR of Tuesday we stated,, whatever
might be the events in Spain, Austria .and Prussia
had " resolved to go along with England in the,line
of policy which it migl.t be deemed proper to oti-1
serve." The intelligence from ltussia confirms this
statement so far as relates to Austria; and v..e are
equally assured of its correctness as fa* as relates to,
Prussia,

The following is tl2O- Artitle in the Dutch' Paper.-
to which we have allticled:
•ST PETERSBIJRGH, APRIL 28.

The reports that have been spread respecting the
march of our troops to act as auxiliaries in the south
of Europe, are contradicted by.persons who cOnceive
themselves to be acquainted with the secrets of D.
plomacy. These persons say that the Court of St.
Petersburgli had at first resolved to place a con-
siderable army at the disposal of the Fend; Go.
vernment ; that with this intention not only had
communications been made by Count Pozzo di
Borgo to the French Ministry, but even, in conse—

quence of them, orders had been sent to various corps
of troops stationed in Poland; but that all this lad been
given up in consequence of a declaration from Sir
Charles Bagot, the English Ambassador, stating, that
the neutrality of Great Britain, in the war between
France and Spain, was conditional, and would con-
tinue only so long as the other Powers of Europe
should take no part in this war.

The Court of Vienna is said to have delivered a
friendly Note, breathing the same spirit, to the Rus-
sian Government; which not a little contributed to
stop the measures at first resolved upon by our Mi-
' nistry. Austlia qthibits a very wise policy, by en-
deavouring to prevent the dangers Which would en-
sue from a general war in Europe. The Minister of
war has summoned to the capital seyeral Staff Offi-
cers from the southern and western armies to receive
new orders, which they are to carry to their respec-
tive head-quarters. -

Hamburgh Papers to the 21st inst. reached us this
forenoon, but they contain no politiCal intelligence
of importance.

A Gentleman who has just arrived from. Andalu-
sia, positively states, that the greatest enthusiasm
pLevails in that part of Spain, and that the inhabit.
ants of all descriptions join the army of that Pro.
vince, and are determined to sacrifice both them-
selves and property in defence of their country. He
also adds, that in the whole of the South of Spain the
inhabitants are making common cause with the Cortes.

It gives us great pleasure to be able to state that
the KING is so far convalescent as to have signified
his intention of being present at Ascot Races. The
Races are this year fixed forthe TOth ofJune, instead
of the first Tuesday after Trinity Sunday, as usual—
an alteration rendered necessary by other Turf ar-
rangements.

NEGLIGENT DRIVING.
Yesterday Thomas Fortier, a Greenwich stage.eoachasen, or
rather a boy, was brought before the Loss Mayoa, at tbelvian-
sion-liouse, on a charge of having driven w.totonly, with critni.
nal carelessness, and thereby ran over a gentleman paled FIN.
Lamm+, whose leg (as mentioned In the Star of yesterday) has
been in consequence amputated.
The prisoner was ordered to remain in prison until the cpe
of Mr. Finfayson shall he decided upon.
It appeared, in the course of the examination, that most of the
stages to Greenwich are entrusted to the management of mere
boys, whose *wantonness and insolence are proverbial. •A Gess-
denten, who watched-tbeiwo coacheiin the fear that some -
cident would happen from the prisoner's sugnner of driving,
stated, that he never saw an instance of more improver driving
