In connection with the fbregoins subject, we

Customs in Maine for the year ending Dec. 3lst,
1890, was Si20383,08 beng the seventh state
IN its contributions to this source Of revenue,
those which exceed it are New York Massachu-
sets, Pennsylvania, Maryland, South Carolina
and Louisiana, each contributing according TO
the order in which they are enumerated.
In the amount Of tonnage, Maine appears to
still more advantage, having at the time above
referred to, l40,3T3 tons, by which it appears
that in this regard, she is the THIRD state in the
union only New York and Massachusetts, ex-
ceeding her. This circumstance is owing I'M
doubtedy TO our extended line Of coast.
In point Of population Maine is the 18th State
and in Territory the 18th.

The remonstrance said to have been
presented by the new Spanish Ministers
to the king, complaining of his torturous
conduct, and intimating their Resolutions to
put him upon his trial as having forfeited
the throne, according to the Constitution,
unless he should forthwith remove his per
tldions councillors, and prove by his ac-
tons the sincerity of his attachment to the
Constitutional system, may be regarded
as solemn warning to the members of
the Holy Alliance God forbid that any
further change, affecting the interests of
the Royal family, may be found necessa-
ryin Spain. But the determined resolu-
ton with which the Spaniards seems to
struggle for the preservation of their popu
lar privileges, ought to teach Govern
ments the wisdom Of conforming to the
spirit of the age, and Of acceding with a
good grace to such salutary reforms as
are demanded by the voice of their sub
jects."

RUSSIA.

kn extraordinary proceeding, and one
which has excited very considerable sen
sat'on in the public mind, has recently
taken place in the Russian Capital. II
appears by a st. Petersburg article of the
2lst OF August, that an order had been
issued for the closing Of all The Eeema-
sons Lodges Simultaneous with this
act, and perhaps consequence OF it, was
the seizure, in Paris, of all the papers be-
longing to- venerable mason of that city,
by police officer. We have not heard
IL iusinuated that this act was done in con-
iornity to the orders of the Holy Alliance,
but The idea can be entertained that those
who declare themselves in opposition to
the spreading Of the light of science may
very llasaraily attempt to extinguish the
lights of nfasonry.
Count Neselrode, Secretary of State
for Foreign affairs, left St Petersburg on
the goth OF August, for Vienna.
The great Banker, Rothochid, was at
St. Petersburg it was supposed on bust
ness with the government. He has ne.
gociated at Paris new Ncapoltan loan
of 20,O00,000 ducats. A new Spanish
loan was negotiating at London. The
Bank of Portugal has advanced TO their
government .s200,000

replied, that the Port remained faithful to
its treaties that it had not violated one
article of them that his highness did not
interfere in the affairs of any foreign
Government, and expected the same con-
duct on their part that the Porte having
given no cause of difference to Russia
there could be no question of sending an
Ambassador to settle it; that Russia had
begun the quarrel, and that if it wished
to send new Ambassador to- the Porte,
she might send one, proUided he did not
come an q ship of aoar, as the batteries
and castles had positive orders to fire on
ships of war, and TO forbid their entrance;
such was the will of the Sultan. 1t is
not known what tie Noble Lord replied,
but this answer of the Refs Effendi is
communicated to us as faithful extract of
the Protocol.
The Porte has, it is said, had serious
differences with the French Ambassador,
who, it is reported had threatened to re-
tire"
The Egyptian and Main Turkish fleets
formed junction off Scio about the 1st of
August. A letter from Leghorn, Aug.
81, says the combined Ottoman feet,
of 6 sail of the line, many frigates and
transports, have landed a number of
troops IN the Morea.

GREEKS.

Further accounts have been received
OF the successes of the Greeks in the early
part oil July, and containing statemants of
subsequent successes. An article appeared
IN The Paris papers Of the 10th, dated Sem
lin, the l4th OF August, confirming the
defeat of Chourchid racha on the Goth
OF July, near Larissa. The account adds,
that threatened by the Divan, he assem-
bled all his reserves, and led them to the
theatre of his defeat but the Greeks a
gain Intercepted him, and on the lst of
August he lost as many lives as on the
20th OF July, and was himself taken pri
soner.
The account of the above battle was not
believed ut ST Petersburg on the 2O:h of
August. An article und that date says
-" Ii there had been great battle in the
early part of July, it is almost impossible
that tho news shonld ng. have arrive ! !
here, whoever might have had the az
vantage. But no one of the embassies,
and no mercantile houses OF any emit
ncnce, has received any news Of this
kind"
Many of the Paris Papers are filled
with conflicting accounts of the mysteri
Gus battle between the Turks and Greeks
in the pass of Thermopyle The Lon
don Courier asks (ailer mentioning that
1t was two months since the battle was
fought, } how it happens that not single
authentic word upon the subject had
reached Vienna. Paris, or London.
A letter from the Agents of Lloyd's at
Smyrna, dated the Cd of Aug states that
they bad seen copy of document adj
dressed by the Austrian Naval Captain in
that station to the Senior British officer,
with dispatch of the Austrian govern
ment eiiciosed, stating that they did not
acknowledge the Greek Blockade in any
way whatever; aud ordering the captains
OF their ships OF war to protect their mer
chant flags against violation by the Greeks
IN all cases; stating, at the same time
that the orders were the result of mutual
arrangement between France, England
and Austria, and that their ships of war
were to act in concert to enforce this deter
mination. The agents vouch for their be-
ing authentic and official ; bot the Aus
TRANS ohty mad received any comnuulca-
tlous from their government on the sab
