most immediate interest to our citizens, is
that concerning the corn market There had
been much bad weather in some parts of Eng
land, and great quantities of grain are doubt

The papers are far from containing the usu-
al quantity of matter in relation TO the affairs
of the Turks and Greeks. Russia, it is ru-
mored, is satisfied with the Turkish answer to
the utimatum. The news of the Russian ar
my having crossed the Purth is contradicted.
But it is said, that the large Russian force up
on that river, keeps the Turks so much in fear
of AN attack from that quarter, that they are
unable to send forces to the Morca, and that
in consequence of this state of things the in
surrection advances favorably TO the Greeks
in that quarter.
The Globe announces the receipt of Paris pa
pers of the 18th, containing Turkish docu-

The accounts from Madrid possess an I'M
common degree ofInterest as to the present and
future prospects of those in Spain, who are
anxiously labouring for the consolidation OF
the liberties of the Spanish people. In con-
templatng the political aspect of liberty, we
were always apprehensve that efforts would
be made by the former faction, who were Sc
crety couDtenanced by the king, to restore the
ancient regime. II could not be disguised
that reasonable correspondence against
public liberty was carried on by the sovereign
with foreign powers, of which the Cortes were
well aware but which, it would appear, they
, despaired of counteracting, so long as Ferdi
nand was entrusted with sovereign power
In this state of things, the monarch constantly
exerting himself, by means of the influence ht
T possessed to bring about u counter revolution
and the friends ofliberty, and of the country
striving in vain TO defeat this base project, The
latter appear TO have arrived at this conclusion
i that nothing could save Spain from the hor
0 rors of civil war, and from being treated like
Naples, but the people, boldly, and at once
deposlng the king, the source of these mach.
= nations, and establishing ii republican govern
e inent. Accordingly, we find it stated in tn,
? Paris papers, that the gallant Rego, the co

censpicuously in bringing about the lat,
change, had hoisted the republican standard
and addressed three proclanatons TO the in
habitants, informing them of the conspiracy
: which existed at the scat of government tina
it had been crushed in its birth, and calling up
c ON them to maintain the rallying sentiment

:. this act of despotic power, he had appealed {,

e 1t is stated in one account contained in In,

Quoted by an escort to the fortress Of Lerida

At In judging of the actual state Of matters j
$ SPAN, little reliance can be placed on what
given in the French papers, or in the observa

isterial journals. The former, being under
strict censorship, can utter only what is
