BAVARIA.

MUNICH, Jan. 16.—We learn from Naples, that his Majesty
King Otho, and his Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Ba-
varia, arrived there on the 3d January.
On the 14th, the corps of troops enlisted for the Greek ser-
vice took the oaths of allegiance on the sword of the commander,
and at nine on the morning of the 15th it set out on its march
for Trieste. (The troops already embarked at Trieste were se-
lected from the regular army. Those spoken of are volunteers.)
The Greek squadron of Hulans formed the tan; the infantry,
consisting of two companies of grenadiers, the centre; and the
artillery the rear.
A regular post between Bavaria and Greece will soon be es-
tablished by means of an English steam-boat. The letters may
be sent every three weeks (by way 'of Trieste and Ancona al*
ternately,) from Napoli to Bavaria, and vice versa.
The convoy with Bavarian troops, which sailed from Pesano
on the sth instant, consists of 35 transports, '23 under Austrian,
and .12 under Greek colours only.; three were still remaining
on the Bth, in the harbour of Trieste. They are under convoy
of the Madagascar, English frigate, Capt. Lyons, the Cornelie,
French frigate,- and the Russian frigate Anna, Captain Sabin-
arwoff.. The Commander-General, Van Herding, is on board
the latter. The Madagascar has steered direct -to Brindin, to
take on board his Majesty King Otho, and the Greek regency.

SPAIN.
Accounts have been received in London, by way of Paris,.
.1
of the sailing of two ships of war on the sth instant, from
Cadiz, with sealed orders, on which a good deal of conjecture
has been exercised. Some have imagined that they are to
enforce the order said to have been given at Madrid some time
back for admiral Sartorius and his squadron to quit the port
of Vigo, .while others, who have an interest in viewing the
affair in a light favourable to liberty in Portugal, have assigned
them the Tagus for a destination, and concluded that they are
meant to enforce the mediation which is understood to have
been proposed on the part of Spain, France and England.
The fact, however, is all that can be relied on in this case;-
the commentary on it only proves the anxiety which is raised
in the city on the affairs of Portugal, now presumed to ,be
drawing to a crisis.
The letters from Madrid which came with the above are of
the 11th instant. Sir Stratford Canning having only just
arrived could not have entered on the important objects of his.
mission. He had, however, an interview with Lord Hervey,
then recently returned from Lisbon, and received his repbrt
relative to the prospects of the offered mediation in the affairs
of Portugal. ft appears that the resignation of M. 'Lea Ber-
mudez had not been accepted, and that that Minister remained
in office, with every likelihood of continuance. He did not
possess, however, a paramount influence, but shared it with his
colleague, the Count Ofalia. The overthrow of the recent
miserable attempts at insurrection on the part of the Carlists
had given great strength to Ferdinand's Government. The
course taken, at least ostensibly, in regard to Portugal, was
Presumed to spring more from the desire not to irritate that
party than from the real feeling of the Court of Madrid, and,
on the whole, there is nothing in these accounts to threaten a
check to the progress of improvement in Spain.'
Accounts from Madrid represent that city as perfectly tran-
More arrests had taken place, of persons implicated in
the late Carlist conspiriacy which broke out at Toledo. It is
said to have originated within the walls of the palace at Ma-
drid. Two of the Chamberlains of Don Carlos have been
arrested; and papers have been found upon them, the contents
of which have implicated several other persons of distinction ;
among whom are the Conde de Negri, General Maroto, and-
Otal y Villela—a member of the Council of Castile. The
Queen has acted throughout with considerable energy. One
of the guilty Chamberlains, Don Sacaneb, has been tried, but
,the sentence was not known.—The health of the King was very
indifferent. Don Carlos disavows, of course, all connection
with the conspirators, and keeps aloof from the Court. One of
the principal Ministers, the Count Ofalla opposed the calling
together of the Cortes, and he was supported by the:King ' - and
thus, for the present, there seems to be little likelihood of a
Constitutional government being established in Spain, notwith-
. 'standing the late defeat of the " Apostolicals."—These parti-

Herald.

RUSSIA.
The Augsburg Gazette, of the 18th instant, contains the follow.
ing of the 13th from Vienna:—" It is asserted that the Count
de St. Aulaire wishes to remain at Rome, and will not accep.
the embassy to our court. Marshal Maison has, it is said, de.
clued all diplomatic employment for the future, as he prefers a
post in the army. Letters from Semlin state that the Russian
eneral Muravieff, who has arrived on a mission at Constanti-
nople, is furnished with extensive powers for the purpose of
intervening between the Porte and the Paella of Egypt, and
also of calling to the immediate assistance of the former a con-
siderable number of troops and vessels, in case the Sultan
should require aid. It is thought, however, that the Porte, in
consequence of the late retrograde movement of the Egyptians,
will be able to resist their further advance. A great many
troops are collected at Constantinople to be sent to Asia.
Should the Grand Vizier be able to maintain his present posi-
tion, he will be safe, as he will shortly receive reinforcements
from Rumelia and the fortresses on the Danube. It is well
known that the best Ottoman troops are always placed along the
Danube, on account of the vicinity of Russia. But now,
Russia being looked upon by the Sultan as a friend and pro-
tectress, a part of those troops can be safely removed. The
mission of General Muravieff will, at all events, have a favour-
able influence upon the affairs of Turkey; for, even in case that
direct assistance from Russia should not be required, the offer
of it contributes towards the consolidation of friendly relations
with the court of St. Petersburg, and encompasses the Porte,
in the opinion of the people, with a powerful guard."
In another number of the Augsburg Gazette it has been stated
that the principal object of M. Pozzo di 1361-go's journey to
England was to induce the British Government to consent to
the incorporation of Wallachia and Moldavia with the Russian
empire, the final possession of these two principalities being
claimed by the Emperor of Russia, in consequence of the Sul-
tan's failure in fulfilling that part of the last treaty of peace
which bound him to the payment of a certain sum of money by
instalments, and authorised. the Russians to maintain military
occupation of the two principalities until payment of the whole
was effected. If there is any truth in this statement, the visit
of M. Muravieff to the Ottoman capital is more likely to refer
to claims not agreeable to the Turkish Government, than offers
of rendering it a friendly service at a moment of distress. It is
certain that the Sultan has not yet paid the last instalment to
Russia, by which he has in a great measure forfeited his claim
to the repossession of Wallachia and Moldavia, and there would
be nothing surprising in the Russian Government's desire to
avail itself of the forfeiture, after all the great efforts of Russia
within the last hundred years to make the Danube its frontier,
from the Black Sea to the extremity of the. Carpathians, near
Belgrade. But the difficulty of so doing at this moment does
not consist in objections on the part of the British, so much as
that of the Austrian Government. l'he Court of Austria,,though
it has long ago considered as inevitable the annexation of M6l-
davia and W' allachia to Russia, has always most decidedly ob-
jected to its own eastern frontiers being.entirely surrounded by
Cossacks. If it yields to such an evil when there is no longer
any possibility of keeping it off, Austria would not fail to stipu-
late for an indemnity, by the appropriation of Servia, or some
other adjacent province; but as, under existing circumstances,
there is no pretext for any such partition, means will probably
be sought to satisfy the claims of Russia, or at least to put oil
the calamity with which the Sultan is threatened on the Eu-
ropean side of his empire.—Paris Correspondent of the Times.
k:xtract of a letter of the 31st ult. from Odessa :—" Orders
have been transmitted to Admiral Greig to fit out a fleet in the
Black Sea, to consist of 36 vessels and 0,000 men. It is thought
that this considerable and expensive expedition is destined to
act against Mehemet Ali, and that it is organised with the con-
sent of the other powers. In order to further the equipment of
the fleet, the Government has despatched General Muravieff to
Sebastopol. He hastens the armament so much that the men
are obliged to work a part of the night, both at Sebastopol and
Nicolaef. As the river Bug is frozen over, provisions are con-
veyed by carts, which causes a great expense. Old sailors, dis-
charged from the service long since, have again been engaged,
from the scarcity of men to complete the crews of the vessels.
Foreign sailors, who are willing to enter the service, receive
high pay. Admiral Greig will have the command of the fleet,
although another admiral is said to be on his way from the Bal-

tic. It is reported that he is either to supply the place of Ad.
miral Greig at Sebastopol, during his absence, or to proceed
immediately on a mission to Constantinople with a frigate and
two brigs. Besides the Neva steamer, which has been refitted,
two other steamers, recently built at Nicolaef, are-destined for
a regular passage between the Russian ports and Constanti-
nople. Count Woronzow, who set out a- few days back for
Bessarabia, is to pass through Nicolaef for the purpose of in-
specting the preparations for the expedition—Timei.
