last *comas, to.the demand of the Great Eurupoin
Powers, apprAn to be perfectly correct, but that it had

hardly credible. Its weakness',: hostile to such a supposi-
tion ; and when it sees that the Great Powers are earnest
and unanimous, it will probably make a merit of conces-
sion, al it did in the late dispute with Russia. At e.ent it
seems to be influenced bribe belief, that these Powers
do not act cordially.; but when it is Once undeceived,

over Greece, lest, by further delays it should be deprived
of even that title. For our own parts, we do not see
the slightest probability that a necessity will arise out
of this question of having recourse to armed demonstr*•
tiens against that Power.

The. French Session was closed on Friday last by
Royal ProclaAiation ; and it is generally expected that
an Ordonnance for re-establishing the Censorship will
speedily follow. As the measure is highly unpopular',
and as France is perfectly tranquil at this time, it is dif-
6cult to conceive any other motive for its adoption, but
that dread of free discussion, which is common to all
Governments, whose conduct will not stand the test of
a rigid scrutiny.
The news from Spain is contradictory, as usual,
whilst it agrees in one point, namely, that no decision
hits Ipeli yet taken with respect to the differences with
Portugal. It would even appear, if any-credit be due
to the assertions in a private letter received this morn-
ing from Madrid, that obstacles have arisen in the
course of the negotiations. It is also stated that the
retreat of the Array of Observation has been coun-
termanded, and that positive orders have been sent to,
General SARSIIIILD not to detach any more troops from'
that army, until he be otherwise instructed. This re.
solution on the part of he Spanish Cabinet is considered
the more extraordinary, as the affairs of Catalonia,
which become every day more perplesied, imperioully
require the presence of additional forces. The last
accounts too from that province, which are d.ted the.
13th instant, speculate, with a considerable degree of
confidence upon the speedy arrival of 6000 men from
the Army of Observation; but it would appeal: from

our Madrid account, that this speculaihn seas founded
upon the urgency of the case, rather *An upon any
precise data.

The accounts this morning, both from Toulon and
Marseilles, state, that since the departure of the aqua•
dron for Algiers, the greatest activity is displayed in
fitting out more ships of war, and impressing sailors.

The privatj' letters frees Madrid. to the 12th June,

state that the Army of Observation, which consisted,
in the month of March last, of twenty thousand men, is
reduced at the present day to eleven thousand: first,
by desertion t secondly, by time of service having ea-
plied; thirdly, by sending 3,700. men into the interior;
and ut the above eleven thousand, two thousand are now
sick. Should this army remain in Etremadura, it will,
according to the (ongoing scale of losses, be reduced
to nothing at the sad of autumn.
