is in a very forward state, and the Island is perfectly
healthy. The Races took place while the General
Palmer staid there, at which were present General
MONTELLO and the Countess of BERTRAND, With
their families.

On the 20th September, the General Palmer was
boarded by a boat from the Island of Ascension, and
was informed a spring of water bad been found in
the interior of the Isle. The place was perfectly
healthy. Great 'pains have been taken to raise seeds
and plants, but not the least vegetation can be effected.
The latest news they had received was in March.

this forenoon.

It is said that the next Session of the Chambers

The Spanish Cortes have passed a Decree, which
is said to have received the sanction of the KINO,
prohibiting the importation into Spain of colonial
produce, particularly sugar and cocoa, linen and
cotton stuffs, &c. " Many persons ask," says an ar-
ticle from !run, " whether the state of industry among
ourselves is suck as to enable us thus to dispense
with foreign productions?" The question may, we I
think, be safely answered in the negative.
Nothing has transpired as to the result of the con-
ferences at 'froppau, •if we except the following ge-
neral announcement :—" Great and strong measures
have been resolved on by the Sovereigns. Europe
will be saved from the horrors of anarchy!" The
artillery which accompanies the Austrian army into
Italy amounts to more than 200 pieces.
ALI still stands out, and the GRAND SEIGNIOR has
got wroth with his Ministers for the delay in bring-
ing this chieftain to him, dead or alive. The Italian
journals, which have so often blown him in the air,
say now, that they were only anticipating what cer-
tainly will take place, " for Au has declared it."
