Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1825-04-14
FROM GIBRALTAR.


By the Balize, arrived at Philadel.
phia, we have received from our cor
respondent a file ofthe GibraltarCh ron-
icle to the 18th February Inclusive
IT'S contents have been chiefly anticipa-
ted by the recent arrivals from England.
We learn from these papers that the
late instruction in the Morea, now
happily repressed, was occasioned by
some of the disappointed men of that
country, who having formerly enjoyed,
and by their conduct forfeited, public
confidence, when deprived of their Off
ces by popular suffrage, took this mode
of avenging themselves.
On the first aEnunciation to the Spa
nish courtof the English recognition OF
South America. their hopes for its ul-
innate reduction became stronger than
ever, on the ground that contederated
Europe would embark in this hopeless
project. A proposition was made to
the ministry TO suppress what was cal
led the iunta of publication by the
members Of the diplomatic body, and
particularly by the French, and indig-
nantly rejected.
A rumor was afoat. Aat the crown
prince Of Sweden (Berliadotte) had a
bandoned his crown III favor OF his son
Oscar.
A Russian admiral at Cronstadt has
made a successful experiment with a
compass furnished with plate OF tin,
by which the magnetic needle is secur-
ed against the influence of cannon and
other objects of iron.
In the naval action on. the 18th Of
Dec. last, we learn that besides the IL
Egyptian transports captured by the
Greeks, and one of their finest frigates
burned by their freships, two Turkish
frigates were stranded upon the shore
of Suda, which directly afterwards went
to pieces.
The studied endeayors of the Court
of Spain TO misrepresent, is evidenc-
ed by every article of South American
intelligence published in their official
papers. Cisneros and Amirec, two no.
torious robbers Of the Caracas, are
called suffering martyrs for their king,
and their robberies are distinguished
by the more pompous and imposing ii
tie of inroads on his Malesty's rebel
lious provinces. Wherever liberty
makes its way, the Madrid papers al
ways substitute the word anarchy
This brings TO mind an observation Of
Col. Stanhope, who expresses in his
letter from the Morea an opinion, that
a free press established in Greece would
be Of itself lever sufficient to over
throw the Ottoman Government.
There appears by the Gibraltar
Chronicle Of the 18th of February, an
official denial tina, the Spanish govern
ment had it in contemplation as was
reported; to permit the importation of
foreign manufactures upon payment of
twenty-five per cent on their original
value.
1t is impossible, say the French pa
pers, to form an idea of the terrors
that prevail among the trayellers-no
man can go OUT of Madrid even for the
purpose of sporting, without danger OF
being stopped. And this is the gov
ernment that contemplates the reduc-
ton Of South America. Gen. Cruz
who mas suffered so much, is now set
at liberty, with which the ministerial
journal thinks he ought to be satisfied
but the sturdy veteran demands a
trial BY court martial, where he
threatens to make important reyela-
tons.
Pensacola, March 2.-Welearn with
much satisfaction, that the military
road, from this City to St. Augustine
has been completed as lar as the Cow
ford on the Choctowhatchic, and that
aferry has been established over that
river. Travellers TO the eastward can
now pass without any difficulty, and as
there is number Of good traces leading
into Georgia and Alabama, from the
