An arrival al Salem from Valencia has hro't
our Spanish accounts to later date than
we have received by way OF England.
From the extracts We have made, it will be
seen, that Bonaparte is in Germany, re
Sartiing with a jealous eye, the movements
OF Austria; and that Russia is reported to
have exhibited some symptoms of hos
tile disposition against the conqueror of
Europe-...Mere.. Adv.

We understand that government has "a
greed to make q loan to the Prince Regent
of Portugal, Of the sum of 6Oo.o0Ol. The
mode OF repayment to be by consignments
OF Brazil commodities to Portuguese agents
here, and the produce. when converted into
moneY,is to be delivered over to the treasu-
Try. The sum of So,OO0i. had been advanc-
ed at the time of the departure of the Bra
ganza family for the Western Continent.
Iheconcurrins reports both from the north
and south Of Europe, of Bonaparte having
set for Germany, seem by no means desti-
tute OF probability. We do not, however, be-
leve the accompanying rumour, of Austria
having declared war against France. 1t is
not likely that such step would be taken
by the cabinet 1T Vienna. without some com
munication with the British government
we should not wonder, however, if Bonaparte
foreseeing rupture with that power to be
inevitable, has determined to anticipate the
hostility OF Austria, by attacking her before
her military preparations are perfected and
matured. He has already called out the con-
sclIption tor the year 1910. and such a mea-
sure could hardly have been'necessary, if his
views were not directed to something beyond
the conquest of Spain. That he has been
very much displeased with the warlike atti-
tude of Austria, as well as with some recent
measures of the Prussian government, is "a
bundantly obvious, from variety of express
slons IN his last Message to the Senate in the
official Expose Of his minister, and from the
ldenunciation launched against NJ. de Steen
In one OF the Bulletins published in Spain,
and ii he thinks it likely that the elements of
another contederacy against him are collect
ing, he will naturally be anxious to dissipate
them before they are so far digested as to
produce an explosion.

1t is with great pleasure that we acquaint
our readers that government have received
dispatches from Admiral Keats, and that
the approximations which were entertained
for the safety of our fleet in the sound were
unfounded. Tie dispatches from Admiral
Keats are dated offG o.tenburgh they state
that the whole OF our squadron was in safety,
with the exception of the Magnet sloop,
which was lost but the whole of the crew
were saved. The Sound is now completely
open.
We yesterday mentioned the arrival of the
Princess Charlotte Packet from Lisbon by
hoy
patches from Mr.. Villiers. IF we may give
credit to the Portuguese papers, the greatest
enthusiasm pervades every part of Portugal
and the greatest exertions have been made
by all classes ofpeople, toenable them to re-
slst the French, who, it appears, have not
yet entered Portugal.
FEE IS.
Yesterday messenger arrived from G OF
tenburgh, with dispatches from Stockholm.
The contents have not transpired but one
fact is stated on the Messengers authority,
which is OF Importance, at least as Indicating
the state of the public mind at ST. Peters
burgh. The disgust which has been felt at
the conduct of the Grand duke Constantine,
has at length ocCasioned an attempt upon his
life. The accounts are not exactly consist
ent concerning the mode of the attack.
Some say that the duke was shot at, and
that the ball passed over his head, and killed
his Aid de Camp. Others, that plot was
formed to kill him in his bed, and that his
room being mistaken, his abide camp was
slain in his place: bat all accounts agree that
the aid-de-camp lost his life contrary to the
intention of the conspirators. In consequence
OF this attempt, the emperor, it is added, Of
fered areward of 200, 900 roubles, ON the dis
covery ofthe offender. This was announced
by placards on the walls of the city. The
following day an advertisement was posted
about the streets, Offering 400. 900 roubes to
any person who should aSsassnate Constan-
tine.
