LATEST FROM EUROPE.

The George Clinton furnishes lit
tie intelligence. Our papers are 10 the
evening Of the 26th from London, and
chiefly occupied with details confused
and contradictory as ever, about the
Greeks. Our readers must take them
as we find them. for we are unable to
reconcile their discordant statements.
The Times of the Goth, seems to APP
prehend some more serious and early
disturbance in Spain, than we are pre-
pared TO hear Of. France and Russia
would be too overwhelming to leave
any hopes in revolt, or change OF any
kind. 1t is certain however, that camps
of troops are established at both ends
of the Pyrennees. The French minis
terial papers call these assemblages OF
troops, "camps Of exercise" The
Times thus speaks Of and comments
en- them
The formation of strong camps at
both extremi,ies Of the Pyrennees, is
fact which seems to be admitted. The
aggregate force thus brought together
will AMOUNT, i, is said, to $4,000 men;
and it is presumed, the object is to a
wait in those convenient positions the
proper crisis for advancing into Spain,
where great political changes, as we
learn from the correspondence made
public, are either meditated by the
french Government, or about to be at
tempted in spite Of it.
From whatever quarter such chang
es are anticipated, they equally attest
the fragility of that ediGce which the
French House of Bourbon, at the beck
of Russia, has incurred so many risks
and burdens to support, and the snail
low blindness Of that policy which so
little understood The materials it had
to work with, when it employed the
wayward factions and headstrong pas
sions of Spaniards for a purpose irrel-
evant at least to the natural interests
| of their country. 1t appears, moreo-
YER, that the French Government as
much miscalculated the end, as it did
the means of its own attack upon Spa
nish liberty; since the very despotism
which it succeeded in establishing, has
proved either an agent too refractory
to be directed by its authors, or a
scourgc too sharp to be longer tolera-
ted by its victims: and therefore alike
Incompatible with the tranquility of
the power that created, and OF that
which Yields it. Had the invasion OF
Spain either wholly failed or been left
uninterrupted, France would have been
at the present day incomparably less
embarrassed by her neighbor. Ihe
| Cor,es would have been disciplined i'll
to prudence and sobriely at last The
national interest of Spain would soon
have developed itself 10 the eyes OF the
Spanish na,ion. They mus, have seen
how essential it was for tnrm to pre-
serve or .ecover the friendship Of the
French Government, and TO listen res:
! would thus have shown themselves
far more amenable and docile body
than the furious, domineering, selfish,
s unteacha bic priesthood; the cause of
Legitimacy itself could never have been
SO endangered by the defeat Of its arms
as by the utter impotency of its tri.
umphs, the consequent disgrace of its
principles, and the obvious necessity of
transferring its appeal from the preiu-
dices of even the least enlightened a.
mong men to the purely vulgar, AFFECT,
animal terror of the hayonet."
Among the inventions Of the age,
we see i, is mentioned in the Brussels
papers, that a process Of reprinting
newspapers by photography, has been
found out; by means whereof it is cal
culaled, that the French papers may
be reprinted and distributed in Brus-
sells, in two hours after the arrival there
Of the mail, and at about one third of
the subscription price IF this inven-
ton answers the hopes gifts projectors
ii may make material alterations in
newspaper affairs, which, 10 us, are
important ones.
