but, unfortunately, some persons are en-
to embitter this happiness to
US. There can be no greater misfortune
than that the enemies of the constitution

render their destruction unavoidable. The

Spanish nation On these bases rest your
felicity, that of your dearest relatives, l.

The populace have manifested great
dissatisfaction at the nomination OF MO-

America is not likely TO be its protector
in Spain.
The Spanish ports in the Mediterra,
mean are filled with vessels from Italy
having on board refugees from Naples
Piedmont, sc. Four thousand are said
to have disembarked, and were received
with kindness.

A letter from Cattora, of May |, states
that the whole Peloppenesus has thrown
off the Turkish yoke, and that there has
been bloody battle near Ampl, between
the Greeks and Turks, in which both
parties fought with desperate valor; the
Greeks were completely victorious; thel1
loss amounted to 500 men, and that Of thu
Turks to 5000.

the Turks with great slaughter And he

According to the letters from Corfu, O
the Esd ult. it was in consequence of
like insult to those which caused at Rome
the revolt against the Tarquins, at Lon
don that of Wat Tyler, that the insurrec
tion of the the Isle of Gambia broke out
! The criminal Aga was killed by the often,
ded father, and this vengeance became the
signal for the massacre of all the Musslc
men. The Turks were chased from every
part of the Island, and the Greeks are
masters OF all the strong places.
