SPAIN

It's said TO be the intention oil France to
diminish the amount of the military force
she now has in Spain One fourth OF the
troops we are told is to be placed in the
principal forlresses, another fourth is 10 be
maintained on the frontiers a, an army of
Observation, and the remainder 10 be dis.
banded. Such is the rumor; but when we
remember what were the reasons assigned
for marching troops into Spain, we can
with difficulty comprehend any that would
Justify, at the present moment, marching
them out again. The Constitutional sys.
tenn, Git we may apply that name TO so
rcketty and dislocated machine as that
which went TO pieces almost without
touching is at an end, we grant; the
king and royal family are at liberty; but
Spain herself has made no progress TO-
wards tranquility. What then are we to
that distracted country are left to them
selves ? What indeed, can we expect, but
The rene val oil all those scenes OF violence
and coofusion which rendered the inter-
ference of foreign power necessary, as
we were told in the irst instance But it
is limited, and the surmise is rational
enough, that Ferdinand will urgently sol-
cit a continuance of the French troops, in
which case he is TO be referred 10 the Eng
lish Cabinet, without whose sanction such
a request W i'll not be listened TO. We know
not how this may be but supposing such
a reference TO be made, We can easily an>
ticipate the decision, and the grounds OF
that decision. Some OF our contemporaries
express a hope that when Frasee does
withdraw a part Of her military force, the
Spanards, &. e. the Constitutionalists)w ill
rouse themselves and drive out the remain
der and Mr. Canning is 10 recommend
the reduction of that force, for the special
purpose of giving those Cons,itutionsIisls
the opportunity Of trying their strength /;
or, in other words, tor the chance OF hav-
ing another civil war in Spain If the wis
dom of that policy which kept England
neuter during the invasion of Spain require
the sort of justification here described,
surely the easy conquest OF the Peninsula,
and its actual condition, are sufficient for
that purpose. Can any thing more clearly
prove the truth OF the observation made
both by the earl of Liverpool and by Mr..
Canning, that had we embarked in that
contest as auxiiaries, the war would soon
have changed its character. and that We
should have been left 10 carry in on as
principals In the way of justi6cat ion,
therefore, il certainly is not necessary that
our Cabinet, in the case assumed, should
recommend the diminution of the French
force, for the sake of ascertaining how The
ConstitutionaIists would fight neat time
and az a measure OF state policy, it would
be whimsical enough.

A letter from Smyrna, dated October /,
says, There is no interesting news from

to- day, Of the Greeks having destroyed
another frigate and some smaller vessels
near Patmos. The Greeks have been sue
cesstul in all parts of the Morea; and as
the winter is approaching, the TURKS must
get into some harbor; and | trust Ssmos

"There are, out of places OF war. three
camps composed OF Egyptian troops; one
on the side OF Ratmos, the second 10 the
province of Kirsamos, and the third near

In Negropont, famine and the plague

arrive at no other conclusion than that
the system ought to be decidedly perse,
vered in, and by no means abandoned
or compromised; and that to return to
the weak and defenceless form of the
square stern would only be to restore
barbarous and imperfect remnant Of
system of ship building, which ought,
long ere this, to have been banished
from the dock yards of a great and en-.
lighted nation like our own

lodged. The Franklin a., at most of
the ports where she touched in Europe,
was admired as model. The North

as soon as she bad reached Norfolk,
