convey indications that cannot be mistaken. In ona
article it says "it has been observed that ser•rti
General Officers attached to the person of the Emperor

noght to infer from them that the General Officers
had carried orders for the armies to advance, and
•hat the Persians have been joined ere non,

by the Russian forces. As another indication of a
warlike nature, the enumeration of the Russian force
,r.ust be observed. In an article from Peteraborg a
detail is given of the positions and amount of the alt.
ferent divisions of the army. The total mass of troops
is stated to exceed a million. This display of faro,
at %Itch a season as the present, is not designed for
idle parade. An Article of the 15th instant, honk
Frankfort states, that a Pitman had been publioled at
Constantinople on the Sth nit. declaring that the Am.
nesty tendered to the Greeks was withdrawn, as they
bail refused to avail themselves of its conditions. Let.
ters from Constantinople of Nov. 11th, announce that
the celebrated city of Bagdad, which had no other
defence than a single wall of no strength, had been
talc, nby storm. The Persians are said to have put
to the sword the whole of the Turkish garrisos, and
most of the inhabitants who followed the doctrine of
Omar. The Christians alone bad been spared, con-
f.,rtnably to the Manifesto published by the Priam

Royal of Persia. '"
The intelligence from Spain given in these ?arm,
is of the same unpleasant aspect as %that generally

Hey, the statements, a civil war has actuilly mut-
meneed. According to a private letter in one of the

journals, General Moreno Daoiz, who had been re-
:used atl►uission to Seville by the popular intermit in
tln ►lity of 31ilitary Chief, hail ordered the regiment of
Koy.►l Carhiniers to occupy an important post in Ar.
dalusia, which General VBlasco, on the opposite side,
hail resolved to occupy with another corps of cavalt

after a sanguinary combat, the troops under the cins-
man(' of the Ministerial officer remaine►! masters of the
Held of battle. It is added, that the King had retired
to the Palace of the Prado, near Madrid, in order to be
out of the reach of any sodden attack on the part of
the populace. The Prado may be defended, as it is
surrounded by a thick wall, and situated ut the mita
a rock. It was reported at Vienna that 311 ibe .t/i
niaters of the Allied Powers had addressed an import.
ant note to the Spanish goverment. A lovAgnet
of
distinction is said to have been eotstpelled to leave she •
Austrian capital in twenty-fonr hours.

The facility of erecting Reform in a State has been
satisfactorily proved at New York. This Con,,itution
is not 41) years old, yet it was found that abase had
crept in, and circntustances occurred to render charnge
essential to its future interest ; and changes ac-
cordingly have been made trithont trouble and nithoit
commotion. Thinking people in England, look at
home, and then look at this REFORM Witheitt a Rem
lotion. Look at this Noble structure erected within
three months, and only wanting the signature
of the people to make it the fundamental code of the
State. Among the wise provisions effected iif ibis
