" The difficulties which your Majesty cannot fail to
encounter in the pacification of your vast dominions, will
only enhance the merit of having conquered them. You
will find the means in the wisdom of your own determina-
tions, in the virtues of your people, and io the interest with
which you are sure to inspire your Allies; and •your
Majesty will then have the glory of terminating the evils
of the last revolution by the firmness which hinders them
from reviving, and the clemency which causes them to be
forgotten.

" It is in these sentiments, Sire, that the Emperor, my
august Master, has ordered me to offer to your Majesty the
most sincere congratulations on an event which he bad so
much at heart on so many accounts, and to Confide to you
his hopes, which are those of his Allies, on the happy lot
which your wisdom, Sire, is going to prepare for your
numerous;kingdonis, whose fate is essentially united with
that of Europe."

Extract of a letter received here this morning froniNew
York, dated Nov. lat.:—

•• I bare just received a letter from Baltimore, stating the
arrival of the schooner Camilla, from Vera Cruz,iin 15 der,
which Lad just anchored below that port. It is said, she

by the Castle of St. ruin

The King of Spain has conferred the order of the Col.
den Fleece upon Pozzo di Itorgo, the Russian Ambassador
to France ; anti Pozzo ei Borgo made a mysterious speech
in return fur the favour, in which he talks of the "
ais-
dom" of his magnanimous toaster, Alexander, and of the
" violence" and " injustice" of the usurpers of the " public
power." This is the most unlucky concatenation of words
imaginable. It is much to be lamented that there was no
" violence in the practice of the Spanish Constitutionalists.
A little wholesome coercion would have placed their
cause on a much snore durable basis. Oar bard says—
",mercy but mnrdereth, pardoning those who kill ;" and
Ferdinand had killed too many, to render it policy to leave
hi■ the opportenity}of destroying any more. This .Pozzo di
Borgo talks next of wrisrping the public powers. But

who are the usurpers? The public themselves; and Ls,
they could usurp their owe power, Pozzo di Batt:
that prince of state Charlatans, has not yenta:el
explain. He areas, however, that the whole of 11,
Sovereigns assembled at Verona had determined to r;
down the Spanish Constitution by tone ; and that Fen,
was merely the agent of the general confederacy. Ile d 4.,
not go on to say. what is nevertheless the truth, that 4
blasphemous allies bad been meowing their infatoo„
purpose for three years—that they were in possekos e
lists of those who mere supposed the corruptible, and 414
incorruptibleSpaniards,in officiaksituations,--andthettlei:
army only followed the operations of long standing
trignes, Pozzo di !largo --does not n ends!) the Sex i
American States in express terms: but he alludes to thee.i.
it sufficiently pointed manner. In the following words:.
"The difficulties which your Majesty cannot fall is
encounter in the pact cation of your rust
minions, will only enhance the merit of having compe4,4
" them." This indicates an existing dieposition to ma,
the attempt ; and the" wishes" and " aid" of "the Allier'
are glanced at with becoming mystery. Some of on
cotemporaries announce that Fiance is reolceng bee nani
fined ; and that her squadron lately in the %Vest Indies Int
returned ; and it is inferred from this, that no feral:
attempt le intended to be made against South Atnetica....
That none will be made at present, is probable. TLerreasi

war with Spain, which would have done honor to a better
cause. The business was so well arranged at theTuilla:e,
I that the army had little to do, but to march to the variu:s
points of its destination. Still the greatest care bad Get
taken in the organization and equipment of the army
and. it is agreed on all hands, that Naeolszt
himself never sent oat a more efficient force.
The ministry of France, therefore, haring slam
so much caution, where events have proved that very
little was necessary, will not be likely to proceed haul!r
in a case where the greatest deliberation is necessary, as to
the extent of the means required, and the mode of employ.

it may be that policy of the continent to revive the used
power of Spain, to employ either against England, or
America. This revival tan only be effected by an attempt
to reduce the colonies; and that the attempt will be made,
is as certain as that France also wishes to revive be

A whimsical article in a morning paper says, Ramis
" cannot raise men to manage the affairs of the natiOe"—.
and for that reason her power is not to be dreaded is do
present day. A more absurd proposition never found is
way into print. All that Russia wants isnioney, to mem
the: vast machine of Ler aspo able force. She hasMi
soldiers and statesmen of the first class; and if she hasts
crnited. for intellect among foreign mitions,it onlyproves her
wisdom, and not her poverty of tali at. She has notrt
sent any where to borrow the loan of a King; and the
foreigners she does employ are nice of real talent, and sit
such as othe 'countries have imported to manage the elfin
of the nation. General intellect is stunted in Russia by ths
prevailing despotism.; but individual talent is to be fatted
there in as great perfection as in England...
