SPAIN.--From the extracts we have given
below, it will be seen that Spain continues in
u disturbed state. The monarchy is evident
ly on the eve of subversion, and if Ferdinand
does not manage matters with a more steady
hand than he has hitherto done, he cannot
long reign over iberia. Not only have his
subjects openly declared their dissatisfaction
with the unconstitutional measures Of his min
listers; hut, it will he perceived that the SOL
diers have Joined in these remonstrances.
The addresses presented to the "beloved
Ferdinand" are oftoo explicit and bold char
acter to be misunderstood. In one he is told,
that if he does not listen to the voice of the
people, Spain will soon be involved in all the
horrors of a civil war. In an other he is re-
minded that there is but one step from the
throne to the scaifo!d." 1t is said that he has
ordered all these remonstrances to be laid be-
fore his Council of State, who are known to
be generally in favor of change of policy,
and of more faithful adherence to the con-
| stitutiOnal system.
| RUSSIA AND TuRKEr.-An article, con-
| tanned in the st. Petersburgh Gazette of the
s8th November, and which may be regarded
as official, is of too hostile character to leave
any doubt of proximity of war between Russia
and the Porte. 1t states, that " the negocia-
tons between Russia and the Porte have il is
said, taken an unfayorable turn the Foreign
Ministers at Constantinople are making every
| effort TO smooth difficulties The Dvan had,
in the first place, consented TO the evacuation
of Moldavia and Wallachia, but it has since
abruptly changed its opinion. The Ottoman
troops, who occupy those provinces, were
even in motion to retire beyond the Danube,
when they received counter-orders they now
expect considerable reinforcements. 1t APP
pears that the Turks. resolved upon war, now
respect nothing compelled, therefore, to come
to extremes, they treat as enemies all who are
not Mahometans. The English, alone, have
found favor in his Ilighness' eyes"
Accounts from Frankfort, of the I eth De-
cember, say, that the last letters from Vienna
are less pacific than the preceding, the gener-
al opinion at that capitol being that ,car is in
eutfable. though some time may be spent in
negotiations. This view of matters is con-
frmed by an article under the same head, and
dated the 10th December, in which it is stated
that g the guard of the Emperor, the head
quarters OF which is at Minsk, may be consi-
dercd on tcar:fcoiing, as no leave of fur
!oughs is allowed" 1t is added, that they ex-
pecied soon to be joined by Alexander, and
that the Russian armies were fully effective,
and eager to meet the enemy. In our extracts
will be found an interesting view of the num-
Der and positions of the Russian troops, who
are estimated at upwards of million, and
described rs only waiting &c for the signal to
exact dreadful vengeance for the unhappy
fate of the Greeks, their prosecuted brethren"
This sudden change OF matters is attributed to
the rejection Of the Russian iittimafun by the
Sublime Porte
1t is stated in letters from Leghorn, of the
cath November, that the important intelli-
gence had been received there of the
Prince of Persia having entered Bagdad at the
head of 10000 cavalry, and that the Turks
every where fled before the Persian army
The greater part of the inhabitants were put
to the sword. Only Christians were spared.
Negotiations are said in letters from ST. Pc
tersburg, of most interesting nature, to be
going on between the Schai of Persia and the
Russian court, which will have an important
influence on the destiny of the Ottoman en-
pire, and perhaps on the future relations of
Russia with the East Indies.
ITALY.
| 1t is stated in the Morning Chronicle of the
24th December, that report was current in
France of the countries at the foot of the Alps
being in an insnrrectionary state. Orders
had been given by the Vienna Cabinet that
the Austrian troops stationed in Sicily should
evacuate the island and proceed to Upper
Italy, This Sudden movement, however. was
supposed by some TO be- connected with a
change of policy on the part of Russia, and
by Others OH account Ofthe dispositions evinced
in France towards Austria, which is any thing
bat favourable at the present crisis, and which
has induced the latter to assemble an army in
Upper Italy, 10 counterfeit any hostile de-
signs which the former may have on that quar-
ter. What with watching the motions of
each Other, and aboring to keep down the
rising spirit of their subjects, it must be
confessed that the Holy .4ities," have work
enough on their hands.
GREECE.
The most favourable accounts continue to
be received ofthe progress Ofthc Greek pat
riots, as to whom the late Russian papers ex-
press uncommon sympathy. In the ST
Petersburg Gazette Of 2sth November, it Is
said that tho " brave Odysus is advancing
in Thessaly. The whole of Macedonia is in
the power Of the Greeks who pursue and ex-
terminate the detached corps of the Turks
The same Journal accuses the English govern
ment in the Ionian Islands, of continuing TO
display extraordinary rigour towards every
thing that is Greek"
GREAT BRITAIN.
The revenue for the quarter ending the 10th
October, is stated to be- 100000 sterling a.
bove the corresponding quarter in the previ-
Gus year and tho quarter ending the 9Th
January was expected, from all Appearances,
to be equally good 4; hut the expenses incur
red in Ireland, and tbe.embodying 5000 adj
ditonal men would, it was supposed, take
away all the benefits anticipated from the ex-
cess.
The intelligence from Ireland, says the
Morning Chronicle of December 25th, is eve
cry thing hut consolatory. Murders are com
