While the ravages of the yellow-fever appearnte-
abating it% Spain, the BOURDON Ultras still ;online'
to spread their political pestilence ; rediculous minds
are circulated, end the Ultra Clergy at work to cry
down the Constitution. It ratty be recollected the de-
struction of the French Clergy after the Revolution,'
originated in their under-hand conspiracies against
liberty. After that great change the people found
dem their most inveterate enemies. It is nearly as
bhd in Spain, they. endeavour to corrupt all about the
cOnrt, and are equally active in the Provinces,
some of them have taken up arms and continue
to infuriate the dupes that follow them. The
birth-day of Riego bas been celebrated at Madrid.
The people will not lose sight of this brave man, no
more than the English people will of Sir RonauT
WILSON. At Cadiz. he overturned the murderers
in regimentals, who fired upon the people ? his next
attack, it is to be hoped. will overturn the French
ma Ultra power in Spain, and let the Cortes proceed
with the glorious work of regeneration unshackled.
Above all things, it will be necessary for him and every
genuine friend of liberty in Spain to keep a watchful
eye upon the clergy. they are always on the look out
for power ; and from their uniform abuse of it, every
wise. Government sh,ould keep them from temporal
meddling, as they will always be ready to espouse
the cause of the rich against the poor ; the
strong against the weak; they expect nothing from
poverty, and poverty has a little to expect from them.
The ranges of that diseetse, which has so severely
afflicted and distracted Spain, are we trust by this time
checked, and their cessation will enable the Codes and
the people to act together. and put down that detest-
able *Woo, kept alive by the sticklers fur divine right
' and passive obedience, the only other evil which Spain
has airy reason to dread.

The King of FRANCE and his Ministers wish the
Russians to patch up a peace with the nuke, and let
the Greeks take care of themselves. The is what
might be expected from a BOURBON ; no christian feel-
i o for the permeated Omits. We have repeateilly
said shey could place so reliance an Despots, and we
should not be surprised that if the Turks were con-
quered by the Russians, to see the Greeks share the
fate of the Poles.' At the reeetinr of the Austrian.
Prussian, and English Ministers at Hanover, the Prus-
sian appeared decidedly in favour of ALEX ANDER.••••-
SO be was for BONAPARTE, Like the Vicar of
BRAT, he takes the strongest side, and his word
is as good as the Austrian's. The Autocrat, in his re-
ply to Austria, is sail to leave alleged that as he did
not interfere with Austria in the conquest of Naples.so
he did not consider his views relative to Turkey within
the cognizance of the European powers. This is a
pretty good sample of his attachment to the Unholy Alli-
ance which will fare with him, just as it may suit his views
against the lilussnlman. If England and France were to
assist in establishing the Greeks, it would form a guard
to their commerce in the Mediterranean and Atlantic,
which Russia is so anxious to obtain, but the Greeks
have raised the standard of liberty, and need expect no
help from French or English ULTRAR; they would look
placidly on, and see every Greek in the Turkish do.

or give assistance to that cause which has
been the boast of Englishmen, until frittered
away by PITT and his worthless journeymen.
Austria says Russia will take no step against Turkey
without notice, we suppose he will bid the Turk de fend
himself before he strikes. This may be very fine from
one despot to another; yet we would not credit either
as far as we could throw them. ALEXANDER has acted
independent of advice or assistance and will continue
so to do. His designs on Turkey never will be given op.
and we again and again repeat, that he will either im-
pose new laws and regulations on the blahomedans.
