BY the packet ship Queen NAB, from
Havre, we have Paris files TO the l4th ult.
inclusive; and by passenger, who OBJ
tanned it from the Southampton packet,
on the morning of sailing from Hayre,
1.-THE l6th) we have London paper oil the
l4lh. Their various intelligence will be
found below. Our limits will not per-
nit as to dwell on it. The item ihas
most strikes us, we confess, is the pro-
clamation of the British Governor OF the
Ionian Islands, notifying that inasmuch
as the Greek government refused 10 re-
scind their determination to capture al,
vessels of whatever flag, found carrying
supplies to the Turks, British cruisers
would be authorized to de,ain all vessels
under the Greek flag. This is, indeed,
revolving to every feeling of justice and
humanity. Is it, indeed, come to this,
that because the once proud flag of Eng
land is, among others, prohibited from
covering supplies TO barbarian infdels,
to be used against freemen and chris
tians, the British government will make
such prohibition the cause of hostilities ;
Forbid it honor forbid it shame!!
The receipts of the British revenue,
notwithstanding the diminution Of various
taxes, will this year exceed those of last,
by near five millions Of dollars. As this
increase is principally on exciseable ars
ticles, it denotes an increased ease and
comfort among the people.
Disturbances slill continued in Spain.
A parry Of constitutional guerilIas enter
ed the town Of Tarragon, (about u
leagues from Madrid) on the first Of Oc-
tober, and put 10 death the Alcade, three
officers Of the civic authorities, and L,
Of the towns people. This daring act
was revenge for the punishment oftwo
Of their comrades, who had been put 10
death at Madrid for being concerned
in movement in favor of the constitu-
ton. The guerilIas effected their re,reas
from Tarragon, without moIes,ation.
Paris, Oct. IA.
At the private audience granted to
Lord Granville by the King, his Lord
ship presented letter from his Sove-
reign, condoling with his Majesty upon
the death of Louis XVIII. and congratu-
lating him upon his own accession 10
the throne.
Lord Granville left Paris last evening
for the Netherlands.
Madrid. Sent. so.
To give an idea of the situation Of
Spain is impossible. Heretofore poiti-
cal persecution extended only to those
who passed for Conslitutionalists, bur
now the sphere OF vexation is enlarged,
and extends to the most exaggerated
Royalists The only crime OF the ex-
minister Cruz and many others who
groan in prison, is the having given the
ascendancy to moderate principles for
time. The Royalist volunteers, whom
the king, short time ago, considered il
necessary to disband on account of their
INSTRUMENTATION, are now placed as
guards over the State prisoners, whom
they load With every species of insult.
The Royal Guards, moreover, are in
such state of disorganiz alton, that it
has been found necessary to send to the
Escurial two companies Of the Royalist
volunteers to mount guard in the Kings
apartment.
The following intelligence from Con-
s,antiDople is of the lth ult.--" A Sc
we're earthquake is said to have taken
place at Jerusalem, which has destroyed
great part OF that city, shaken down the
mosque Of Omar, and reduced the Holy
Sepulchre to ruins from top to bot
tom."
