Bells Weekly Messenger OF the 7th, con-

I'VE have lately abstained from any men
ton of the aealrs OF Spain, lest on the one
hand. We should appear TO give encourage
ment TO principles certainly there carrisd to
excess, and last. on the other, we should
ssem TO take part with her late feeble and
despotic government; feeble, as TO the pro-
| lection oi person and property and despotic.
insomuch as the will OF the King, and the
power and influence OF the Nobility occupi.
ed the place OF law. An event has now oc.
, CURED OF so serious nature. as to render it
necessary TO terminate this iorbearance. Our
readers will learn with some surprise, that
! England and Spain are upon the eve OF
state of things very little short of actual war;
and that feather, almost, may turn the scale
either way.
This affair is briefly as foiows:--ln a
! Spanish paper, called the ReguIa tor, appear
ed in tenor the following paragraph. II is
affirmed that his Britannia Majesty, &c orge
he Fourth, will dc himself the honor OF taxi
ing second vile in his present journey TO
| the continent; and that this lady will he
| chosen from one OF the German courts
perhaps the youngest .Princess of the Aus
TRAN house OF Esterhazy-a young lady Of
| the age Of Is years, and therefore extremely
we'll suited to'the mature years OF his Bri.
fish Majesty, now in his 60ih year. The
paper then goes on to add. g that this news
can excite no surprise, since there are per-
! sons TO whom all crimes are permitted, and
who, though the object OF general e1ecralion,
! nevertheless enjoy all the iavors of fortune,
! # rpmorse do not a.sail them at every hour
and every minute Of the day. anu if they are
permitted to enjoy the fruits of their mis-
deeds" Immediately upon the publication
of this arocious libel, the British Ambassa.
dor applied to the Spanish government, and
| demanded, as be had a good right TO
! demand, the punishment OF the libeller. 4 he
! Spanish government ordered the prosecution
OF the editor and the printer, but The grand
iury, or what is tantamount TO il in the
Spanish administration of Justice, threw Out ,
as we should term IL, the bill endorsing upon
the back of it that they saw no matter Of
prosecution in the act alleged. The Bri-
/ t,sh minister, therefore, and the poweri vi
monarch whom he represents, have received
no satisfaction for this atfocious insult, and
so far as Spain and her government are
| concerned, have 40 explanation or satisfac-
, lion to expect Tor one OF the most sbominable
liDes 10 modern times.
A letter from Smyrna, dated the goth
Aug. mas been received, which mentions
fact oil great Importance, if its truth

nesty of the Turkish Sultan had been
communicated to the Greek fleet in the
Archipelago, and that many of these
ships had determined to accept it, and to

was given at Smyrna by a small French
vessel of war, the master OF which de-
! clare6 that he had met several Greek
ships oe war returning to their respective
