ST. PETERSBURGH, MARCH 2.

A Ministerial resolution confirmed by his Majesty,
extends to the Protestant Church. the seventh section of
the regulation for the Roman Catholic Church of the
24th December, 1801. According to this regulation,
the property of the Protestant Church shall be main-
tained inviolate with the same right as that of the
Crown, preserved and protected against all injury, and
the buildings and lands belonging to schools, semina-
ries, and poor houses, shall not be used for any other
purposes. The houses of the Clergy, if they are absent
on official duty, are for ever free from the obligation of
having soldiers quartered on them. If, however, build-
ings belonging to the Church, and Charitable Institu-
tions produce rent, they do not enjoy this redemption.
We expect that a Note of the Ottoman Government
will shortly be published, containing positive orders to
the Pacha of SUistria, for the evacuation of the princi-
palities of Wallachia and Moldavia.
Mann s.—The Government having resolved to ex-
tend the military colonies in the south provinces of the
Empire, viz. in the Government of Char kow, the whole
circle of Stawbalso, which has hitherto belonged to the
Governnlent of Woronesch, is incorporated with them.

The Emperor goes out every day, and general joy is
excited by the entire recovery of his Majesty from his
indisposition. •

The result- cif the commerce of St. Petersburg!), in
1823, was as follows :

Rubles.
Importation from foreign countries - 105;969,720
Exportation - - - - , 103,524,124

This morning we received accounts from Madrid, via
Bayonne, to the 16th instant : they contain the eld COM..
1 plaints of sullen apathy in the Capital and distress in
the Provinces ; Decree follows Decree, without any
means of enforcing them, and they,are no sooner pro-
mulgated than they are forgotten ; orders are 'issued for
recruiting-the army, but there is neither money to offer
as an inducement nor attachment in the people
to persevere. This is the :.um of the Bayonne intelli.
Bence from Spaia.
