this country are in lourshing state, and the
vast accumulation of wealth. in this Island
must be seen 10 he credited. 1t was said long
ago, "Ihe nation that commands the seas
VIII command the commence of the world, the
nation that possesses that commerce will com
mand the riches of the world, and possessed
of such wealth will command the world it,
self. VI the vast means of this nation, it
would be endless to speak. The organization
of the military aud naval establishments is per-
feet. From policy the party in power, the
Tories, are disposed to be friendly to us :; the
Wings and Radicals are openly hostile To us
found France rapidly rising from the
effects of the last disastrous war The sub
division of property, the interest felt by every
man in the soil he cultivates has given slim
ullis to industry, and prodigious resources
the country have developed themselves
since the peace. The Bourbons are | am
persuaded more firmly seated on the throne
ihan even they themselves merit They have
SIX years of possession with all the strength
derived from the placernen and pensioners
Nnth whom they have surrounded themselves.
t'he death of NAPOLEON adds to their Sc

liberal party lost their power by the assasslna-
ion of the Duke DE BERRI. That act iusti-
he'd harsh measures and strengthened the arm
of despotism. Nothing will shake the throne
oi the Bourb0ns but the absurd professions of
me Ultra isoyallsts, who would return to the
age OF lsouls the fourteenth, and the extreme
desire al remaining quietly in possession Mt
any cost, which is constantly evinced by the
Ning.
OF Spain had heard enough to confirm
my iormer opinion that their revolution is far
from finished. They have committed some
errors which must involve them in confusion
The Greatest appears to have been the con-
iiscation and sale ofthe church lands. 1t was
supposed that tins measure affecting only the
beneficial clergy would have been well re-
ccINed ny the lower order of priests, especial
~ by the mcndlcant orders who were favour
ably disposed TO the revolution. They. how
ever, consider that measure as prelude TO
me total destruction of religious orders, and
nave made common cause with the higher cler-
Gy. Speaking with an enlightened Spanard
on the radical defects of the Constitution,
the little power given to The Executive and the
Legislative authority being vested in one DO
dy, he apologized fUEihe first by saving, that

:. The Spaniards appear 10 have fomented
me revolutionary spirit in Italy, and to have
occasloned that premature movement in Ma
pies and Sardinia. The people of Milan wise
iy wished To wait for war on the continent
mad they done so and made one simultaneous
movement, how different would have been the
fesuit. The Revolutionary movement in Italy
accustomed great alarm at Paris when the
Revolutionists and Liberals published mme-
dately the Constitution of 1871, and dissent
mated copies throughout all France.
Inc movement in Greece appears to have
been occasioned altogether by the insulfera-
ble oppression of the Turks and the intrgues
anu money Of ALI PAcHA. 1t was unexpect-
Cd by Russia, aad rather too soon for the views
az that cabinet. 1t has surprized me that the
other great powers, especially this Great
Brliain) should not have acted ia concert with
Russia, so as to have acquired right to divis-
ION OF the spoil, and TO have prevented that
power from becoming more formidable, which
cannot be done otherwise without involving
Great Britain in an expensive war, which they
are extremely anxious to avoid. The ref,-
sal OF the Turks to accept the ultimatum of
the Emperor appears highly absurd.-'The
OPINION IN this country appears to he, that
there will be no war but in France il is deem
ed inevitable. For my own part, hope and
believe that there will be war. The free
dom of the Greeks would be some consolation
for the failure in Italy, and il these great pow
ers have not some occupation, they will
p0unce upon Spain and Portugal. | had a
great deal to say about the state of Germany,
where the revolutionary spirit exists in IA
Strong degree, but must postpone it for the
next letter."
