Croker, arrived ut New York Sent. 81,
from Liverpool, which place she ieft on

ed their regular files Of London papers
to the evening of the 9th.
Since the abandonment OF the cause of
Greece by the emperor of Russia, and the
defeat of the enemies of the CONSTITUTIONAL
System In Spain, tho papers brought
by late arrivals, present us with little else
than speculatims ON what might have
been the consequences in the latter coun-
try, had the royalists succeededs and
what is likely to be the result of the de.
alterations OF the Congress to be held al
Verona. With regard to Spain, il is now
said IN the French papers, that had MOI
the projects OF the insurgents been defea-
ted, foreign armies would have made
movement in advance that the troops of
Austria and Prussia we're to enter France
in considerable force with the two fold
object OF acting against Spain, and secur
ing the obedience Of the French army
and that this project was formed, is in
ferred from the circumstance Of Gen.
Foy's severe animadversions, in the
Chamber of Deputies, on the ssEoly Ali
ance :" which, he stated, was only known
by the taxes which it imposed. and by the
calamities which it had inflicted ON the
people of France. Reasoning on the
probability of the armies Of Louis
passing the frontiers, it is remarked that
j the Gordon Santaire, consisting Of from
SO to 10000 men could scarcely have &C.
, cupied two provinces, and would have
had to encounter an army entirely libe-
raj ,composed Of 10000 regulars, $4,000
militia, who have been on foot twenty
. days, aad 100000 national guards, com.
ple,ely organized, without reck oniDg
more than 100000 guerillas, accuslom-
cd to military service. Every province,
III the case Of invasion, would form scpa-
4 rate government, as in 1908; Cadiz
would be an impenetrable fortress in
secure. Against such resources, what could
an army even Of 100000 men effect 7"
1t IS not doubted also, that had the al
lied armies shown disposition again to
occupy the soil of France, instead of O.
! verawing the army, the first step would
: have been the signal Of a general rising,
iif not in favor OF Spain, to expel the for.
eigners from the French territory. "If"
said Gen. Foy, otis soldiers appear again
on the national territory il we are me-
naced with third occupation, all French.
men, whether military or not, all France
would rise and march united to extermi-
nate them"
Il Among the rumours of what the sove.
. Il nn nIn at he, hir..
/ Congress, we find it stated, that decisive
/ measures are to be adopted as to Spain
= that the affairs Of Greece will occupy
their attention; that Moldayia and Walia-
CHA will he placed under the mild con-
) trout of the Ottoman chief; and that some
!, thing is TO be proposed as to lettering the
condition of the people of Italy. The
, Emperers Of Russia and Austria are to at
tend in person. England, France and
Prussia are to be represented by minis
.ers /; but the Porte had declined taking
any part IN the proceedings, on the
ground that 1t had no particular relation
with the Christian powers which made il
necessary to conclude new treaties. We
have no doubt every thing will be done at
this new assemblage of Sovereigns to
"consoldate the affairs of Europe" which
may lend to strengthen legitimacy but
we have little hope Of any amelioration
r res ultIng theretrom IN The condition oil
: the people. fhe allied monarchs may
f draw the cords closer but theexperience
OF the past, affords on which their own
safety depends, somewhat melancholy
proof, that neither the liberties of Greece,
Of Italy, or of Spain, will be regarded by
them as deserving OF consideration.
/ The Greeks appear to be every where
successful, and scarcely doubt seems
to be entertained, in any quarter, Of their,
ultimate triumph over the barbArians.
Il The Turkish Sultan is now said to be
very angry at the massacre OF ocio, i'm
consequence oil his sister expressing dis.
satisfaction at the cruelties which were
there committed.
a letter received at one of the outports
in England from ConstantinopIe states
"Since have been here, Ia days, grea
number of Greeks have lost their heads,
+ they are taken from their houses, and
! their heads cut off before their own doors;
they are then stripped, and laid with
their heads nhon their bodies for three
days alter which they are thrown into
the harbor. Ibe streets being very mar
row, have been obliged to step over
many, lying in that way daily"
