LATEST FROM EUROPE.

By the brig Arctic, Captain Low, in 25 DAYS
rom ilavre, we have received our files of Pa
ris papers to Feb. 81. They do not contain
any news OF moment. The French Funds con-
tinued at aboct 80, 95, g. had remained for seve-
raj days without material fluctuation. The
king, who was to die about this time, according
to the pretended report of his physicians, daily
gave audiences to his ministers and Others On
tho 18th, he presided at a Council of Ministers
which continued an hour and half The prin-
ces of Condo was dangerously i'll, and freauent
ly bulletins of her health were published, from
the tenor OF which it may be inferred that she
was probably near her end. A decree of the
KING OF Spain, dated Feb. 0, is published in the
Moniteur, in Spanish and French, authorizing
his American domains to trade directly with for.
eigners, subjects of powers at peace with Spain.
and the vessels of such states to enter as freely
INTO the American ports, into those of the
Spanish possessions in Europe. Until rc@ti-
iation shall be made on this subject the trade is
to remain in the colonies, as nearly as possible
on the same footing as that of the island Of Cuba
| at the present time.
The French army ofoccupation III Spain, was
stationed OH the 10th of February as follows:
AT MADRID, forming the division of Madrid, the
9th and 18th regiments of horse chasseurs, ;.nd

ma, and one at Figueras. Besides two regi-
mcnts IN garrison at madrid, one at Carthacena.
one at Badajos and one at Corunna.
The Journal du Commerce of Feb. 90, con-
tans, short notice of Mr. Wcbster's Speech
ON the Greek Question, which it pronounccs a
remarkable discourse, both for its energy and
It's eioquence. The same papercopies without
remark, Mr. Mitcheli's motion iii Congress, to
request the President to send ship of war to
France, to bring the Marquis La Fayettc to this
country.
We observe mention of severe shocks of an
earthquake, at several places in Europe, parti-
cularly i'll Bohemia. A terrible hurricane burst
upon the village of Diorno, in Norway, in lat
65, on the Goth Nov. The rain fell in torrents
and the most violent thunder was heard, ever
known in that region. The church was struck
with lightning. This was regarded as remark
able phenomenon for the season of the year.
The export duties paid in Sweden in 1922
amounted to 4,276,528 rix dollars banco OF
Humburgh, of which 2,32O,OG1 were paid al
Stockholm.
We find the following paragraphs relating to
GTccian affairs.
ODESSA, Jan. 21.-According to the latest
intelligence from Constantinople, dated the 18th
the Porte IS very much embarrassed. The in
surrection of the Greeks who are daily gaining
advantages, causes the greatest uneasincss to
the Turkish government. Since the Capudan
Pacha returned to Constantinople, no Ottoman
ship had dared show itself at sea.
SMYRNA, Jan. 10.-(Extract from CONNER
cial letter, received by way of Corfu. 80 For
the last three weeks we are in great agitation
here. The Greeks have got the dominion in
the Gulf, and most of the vessels loading here
have discontinued their labors because the navi-
CATION of the Archipelago presents no security.
The European consuls have addressed them
selves in vain to the regency at Ipsara.n
sc a report prevails to-day ola great misfor-
tune for the Porte. 1t is said that the fleet which
they have been hastily equlpping in the sea Of
.5iarmora for the protection Smyrna, has been
almost entirely destroyed by "A violent tempest
in the straits of the Dardanclles five frigates and
six briggs have been thrown on the coast, and
the rest made unfit for use. This has spread in
credible CONSERVATION among the Turks; they
consider this accident as the punishment of hea-
ven. This new check will augment the courage
cthe Greeks and will render our situation still
more critical. During these sad events it is truly
fortunte, however, that there are no excuses
committed either against the Grccks or Franks
