ITALY.
As late as the 9th OF Sept, His Holiness, the
Pope continued very ill., IL was ut that time affirm
ed at Rome that the Cabinet of the Tuilleries has
offered to the Roman Court its mediation with res
pect to the Concordat which il desires to conclude
with the new States of America. Ii is probable that
this affair will be settled in satisfactory manner,
az the Holy See shews a very conciliatory DISPOSE
ton.
Permission has been granted to NJ. Galoz,
merchant OF Bordeaux, act at that port Consul,
or Commercial Agent for Mexico. Three other
Agents for the ports of Havre, Cetie, and Mar
settles, have also been appointed by the Mexican
Government, and will in like manner be authorized
by the French. Thus is the existence OF the new
State acknowledged de Jacto, though not as yet
in point OF FORM
SPAIN
a private letter from Madrid, of Oct ,, says:--
As our situation becomes every day worse the
English capitalists, on whom the Government
placed some hopes of loan, have plainly declared
that the present Oi SPAIN SUCH a. W
inspire the smallest confidence; that The principal
proprietors are prescribed in prison; that those
who return from America with their fortunes, do not
venture to land in the Peninsula, being terrified by
the accounts of what is passing there; lastly, that
even if the Government would give all the securities
required OF it, and would bind itself in the most
Tenn manner, theY would not feel any more conf
dence on that account, since Royal decree, ac-
cordng TO our absolute system, can annu the most
sacred contracts Our fanatics are in rage at see
ing things regarded in this light by the very persons
who, they say, lavished their gold on the Revolu-
tionisis and will open their purses for legiti-
mate Government like ours"
An expedition, with 5000 troops sailed for the
Havana, on the 26th of Sept. The nomination of
Gen. Cruz, to succeed zen. Wives "a Captain Gene
raj of Cuba, is not confirmed. The public re-
ioced at this result great confidence is reposed
in the prudence OF Wives.
Private letters from Madrid, mention report as
generally prevalent thee, of the French Minister
having suggested to Ferdinand, the expectancy of
convoking an assembly, selected from the Nobility
of the several provinces of SPAIN to consider OF the
state ofaffars. This proposal is said TO have been
supported by the Spanish Ministers, but we can
place no confidence in the fact. 1t is added, that
the suppression of Frars, and tax upon the Cler
gy had also been proposed, but that Ferdinand had
rejected the proposition.
The GREEKs--As it regards the affairs of
Greece, we nave materials enough TO make up a
column or more of rumors; but they do not amount
TO much. Ibrahim Pacha has marched towards the
south of the Peninsula, and is believed to be at
Modon, waiting for his reinforcements from Alex
an,ria, TO the number, ii is said, of 5000. The
expedition of Greek freships to the port of Alex
andria having failed and the arrival of the Captain
Pacha at that port leaves little doubt that the REIN
forcemeats will be transported in safety Upon
the subject of Greek news in general, the London
~ ELL
which are more just than we could wish.
We have long ceased TO regard these statements
as worthy of a moments consideration. II is not
only that which really happen vastly en-
aggrated, but constant stream of pure, unaduta-
tate,l fslsehood is poured through the continental
journals, the exposure of which would stagger the
ct crelllous minds. 1t is within our positive
owedge, for example, that in the course of last
par, there were accounts Of naval victories gain
by the Greeks, and offleets destroyed by their
e-ships, SC. when not only no such victories were
oed, but absolutely not II gun was fired at
veen the aedged hostile navies. They are
yesbly secure, too, from detection, for time al
: least, because the Turks publish accounts, and
read none having no public opinion to influence
They merely Eight on. If they defeated, they
wait till they are able to fight again. if victorious
they pursue their advantage, & say little nothing
about it,
The news OF the insurrection which has broken
out in Gambia has made great impression at Con-
stautinople. The Greeks have made themselves
masters of the forts of kssimo, Sslina, and Kar-
banza. At Smyrna the Turks had lately been in
great alarm for their property, band OF inceudia-
gies having come from Mori, and threatening to
destroy all the houses and all the warehouses of
those Europeans who were not known as partizans
OF the Greeks.
The fortress of Missolonghi vet holds out; and
the insurrection in Gambia, is gathering strength.
The Government at Napoli di Romania, has AT
length resolved to exchange the two Pachas, Ali &
Selim, for the son of The Bey of Mama, and Capt.
Jatrako, who were taken by the Egyptians at Ma
varin.
At Constantnople every thing is tranquil, and
the removal Of the Selictsr Aga. known as the
favorite ofthe Sultan, and that of the Aga of the
Janissaries, have not yet produced any effect.
RUssIA.-The church Of ST.. CLAUS, at Reyrl,
che of the oldest monuments of Christianity in the
north, was lately burnt down by lightning. The
Emperor has given orders 10 rebuildit. The height
of he steepe, according 10 the old plan, which is to
be followed, was 60 sagenes, or 455 English feet
TO the weathercock. 1t was formerly secure
guide for ships.
Jerusalem and Bethlem have revolted in conse-
quence of the extortions of the Pacha OF Damascus
which, after his departure, continued towards
all the inhabitants and the several converts, by
means Of the Governor of Jerusalem. The Beth
'shtes hdo aSieeu WIN he SoVefhoI lot sum OF
thirty pasres, and had delivered 10 him three hos
tages in security for the payment. But having been
Informed that they the risk OF being exposed 10
further exortion, and that the garrison of Jerusalem
was coming against them, they laid an ambush,
which succeeded. As soon as the troops were out
Nof the city, they entered it., and closed the gates
and in concert with the inhabitants dictated laws
to the governor, leaving him, however the choice
either to continue his functions with the people he
had remaining, or to go ADD join his Pacha. At the
same time other persons of Belhlem, reinforced by
