| New York, Nov. SO-The Ann Maria,
capt Graham, has arrived ut this port from
Liverpool, whence she sailed on the 22d Oc-
tober, the day previous TO the departure of
the Triton. by this conveyance, we have re-
ceired considerable additions to our former
stock of English papers, which, although they
do not contain any thing new, furnish scve.
raj items of considerable interest.
SPAIN.
| In the London Courier of the 18th Oct
we find letter from Madrid of the 5th of
that month, i'm which il is stated that the CO.
lionel and lieut.. colnnal Of the I<;.t's ,s,i-
ment had been put IN solitary confinement, in
consequence ofbeing implicated in an affair." of
extensive ramficatons, in which, it is affirm
ed, General BallcsterOs, and a Deputy had
also borne part. The Deputies having the
most powerful interest, arc represented as
hostile to the conduct ofthe ministers towards
Riego, and 1t is said that the King had called
upon them to "justify themselves in the eyes
oil the nation, and make known the motives
which they had for prosecuting a man, whom
all Spain considers as the founder of the con-
stitutional regime" The ministers are stated
to have replied, that they could not do it, and
the King to have reloined g Prepare then 10
retire, for cannot keep ministry which dis
pleases the nation" Should this prove TO he
correct, we may soon expect to hear of the
restoration of Riego to his former command,
and of the dismissal ofhis enemies from pow
err.
1t appears that Genl. Arco Argucro, has
lost his life by a fall from his horse, in Estra-
madura, where he commanded as Capt. Ge-
neral of that province. This cstimable cha.
racter was one of the Heroic Fire (Quiroga,
Rlego, Arco Arguero, Lopez Banos, and o.
Daily who led the revolution, on the 1st jan
1890, by openly revolving against the tyranny
OF the telored legitimate of Spain. Arco Ar
guero was then Colonel of Engineers, edu-
Gated in the royal seminary of Segoyia, of
which he was a distinguished scholar, and had
much increased his theoretical, by practical
knowledge in the science of war Equally
! possessing the daring courage Of his four com
patriots IN the glorious attempt Mt emancipa-
ton, Ire eXcelled them all in composition. Ii
was from his pen that flowed those inspiring
| appeals to the patriotism of the nation, the
celebrated letter 10 the bishop of Cadiz, and
various proclamations from head quarters, i'm
the Isle of De Leon, that spread like Greek
FIRE throughout the nation. II is much TO be
regretted, that chief. so distinguished, and
so able, should have thus ingloriously fallen
but we hope, should the necessity exist, that
the other four, and yet others, will not be
wanting, firmly to establish the empire of ra-
|
Spanish peninsula.
PORTUGAL.
An article from Lisbon, of the ED Sept. re-
peats the statement, that the Prince ROYAL
and his consort have been ordered by the
Cortes to return to Portugal immediately
The Prince Royal is TO be directed TO go up-
on his travels for the benefit of his education.
and also his brother, Don Miguel. The King
of Portugal has determined to give every ia
ciiliy to Portuguese agriculture. His majesty
is already in correspondence with Sir John
Sinclair and other distinguished agricultural
lists in England.
/ TURKEY.
The Emperor Alexander does not appear
to view the interference of the other great
| powers, as TO his designs upon Turkey, with
that complacency which was expected. Ac-
counts from Augsburg of the 9th Oct state,
that the communications which his imperial
Majesty had made on this subject to his allies
had excited extraordinary sensations In
note, particularly addressed to the cabinet
of Austria, Alexander remarks, that he anx-
iously desires, in consideration of the ties OF
friendship which unite him TO Austria, that
this power will abstain from interference, with
view to the adjustment of the existing diff
culties between Russia and the Turkish en-
pre-, and that she will observe, i'm this con
lJuncture, the most strict neutrality"
\ Strong symptoms of the same spirit of dis
satisfaction appear i'll an article from Odessa
OF the 18th Sept. in which it is said that re-
cent accounts had been received from St
Petersburg, of the Emperor having charged
the Count Capo d'Istria to communicate to
all the European powers the contents of the
last notes exchanged between Russia and
the Porte ; and also to declare Z" to the courts
of London and Vienna, that he could mol
rte'o the state Of Turkey (Which they had
painted as entirely tranquil) as sufficiently -on-
Sottdoted for him TO re-estdbkiSh his forp,eH1
anaicGbIe relations tcih The Porte. The Empc-
ror further declares, that be has not exchang-
ed his pacific sentiments manifested at Law
bach, and that he has answered in this sense
to the note of the Porte directed against Ba-
ron de StrogoDofl, hoping always that the sui
tan would satisfy his Just demands. But nj
the same time the Emperor refuses The media
lion altered by the courts Of AUSTRIA and Eng
land, or that Of Gny other po1Cer, upon the same
principle which induced him to abandon the
establishment of tranquility in Italy t.
\ Austria alone. IF fresh prosecutions be Iyag-
cd against the Christians, the Emperor will
find himself compelled professionally to occu-
py MOldayia and Wallachia with his troops
The tone Ofthis note is stately eauugh il
must be allowed but we strongly suspect
that Alexander, notwithstanding, will not
venture on extrcmities 10 the teeth Of the re-
monstrances Of his great allies; if, indeed, we
are TO consider their interference ms any thing
else than mere bravo, held out with the
view Of cauiioning Alexander not 10 proceed
too far in his designs upon Turkey.
