From tie Baltimore Fed. Gazette.

We are not inclined to attach abso-
lutte importance to every newspaper
speculation Of warlike nature, receiv-
ed from Europe, nor do we think any
OF those powers who generally influ-
ence the public course of the old world,
now in a disposition to commence &C
tual hostilities, however circumstances
may awaken mutual jealousy and ha-
tired. Yet there is so much in the news
recently received in this country, and
the statements present themselves from
so many sources, and in so many
shapes, that they cannot be treated al
together with indifference. On Mon
day we copied an article from the Paris
Journal des DeJats of the 2lst March,
certainly of a warlike character, and
we now have it in our power to add
the following.
From the Paris Constitutional, of March %.
"The editor Of the Etoile accuses us
Of having invoked war, and agreeably
to his views the Cabinet Of Europe now
enjoys that profound peace which no.
thing can shake or interrupt What
we have said, we still continas to af
firm, that Great Britain and Russia are
already in degree in diplomatic hos
tilities; there can be no doubt on that
subject. The correspondence and acts
of the two cabinets, already exhibit ev-
ident proofs on that head 5; still more,
every speech of Mr.. Canning, bears
hard on the Russian government, and
cannot fail to mortify the cabinet of St.
Petersburg. The Holy Alliance looks
upon the movements of Great Britain
with very suspicious and jealous eye.
Do not the British ministerial gazettes
even ofyesterday speak with great ar
rogance, insinuating that Austria will
take great care how she gives umbrags
TO Great Britain, and that France was
too much occupied with her intestine
quarrels, to have any influence upon a.
ny political question whatever. This
is Notifying language for a French
man to hear-let our ministerial news
papers come out and disown such at
tacks from foreign ministerial papers.
In the foregoing we find it broadly
stated, that matters do not run smooth
between England and Russia, that "the
| Holy Alliance looks upon the move
ments of Great Britain with very
suspicious and Jealous eye"-and the
subjoined annunciation from Paris
paper may naturally be supposed to
have some bearing on this state of
things.
|. "The Russian General Count Toll
stoy, arrived at Paris at ten o'clock on
Friday night, with dispatches from St.
Petersburgh. The Russian ambassa-
dor was from home, and upon his re-
turn remained occupied till two O'Clock
on Sunday morning. At ten o'clock
his excellency went to the house of the
Minister for Foreign Affairs, and had
a conference for several hours"
AS having some connection with
this subject, in as much as it intimates
jealousy which might provoke war
on another ground, we select the an
nexed extract Of a letter.
From the Journal des Debats.
"MADRID, March 8.
"Some GOODNESS seems to have arisen
between the Cabinets Of St. James and
the Tuileries, relative to the prolonged
occupation of Spain, and it is said Cor
runna and Saragossa are to be. evacu-
ated, and the garisons in the other pla-
ces are to be SC reduced, that only
fourteen thousand French troops will
remain"
We have invariably been of opinion
that an obstinately prolonged occupa-
ton of Spain by France, would lead to
rupture between the latter and Eng
land, and if France now withdraws a
large portion of her army, it is, we
doubt not, in consequence OF the re-
monstrances of England, and the APP
prehension fwar.-How far the Rus
sian General Count ToLsToY may sbe
instructed to prop and spur the spirit
of the French Cabinet, time may, per-
haps, inform US, but taking the whole
Of the accounts into one view, there ap-
pears to be enough to awaken some
.nxiety for additional information re-
speeding the actual state OF Europe.
FREEDOM OF SPEECH AT MADRID.-A
letter from Madrid, dated March IA,
states that the official account OF Cen
eral Sucre's victory in Peru had been
received in that capital, but that every
one who even spoke fit was liable to
be arrested by the police.
