The subIoined article is from Bells .ondon)
Weekly Messenger OF the 3oth July. Though
the writer speaks with confidence of the pro-
ceedings in the Cabinet Councils, the falsity OF
such iumors as those from which his informa-
ton seems to have been obtained, has been too
often proved, to induce the public to place
much reliance on his statement. At the pre-
sent time too, when England is suffering under
the pressure of commercial and financial en-
barrassments, and the dreadful evil of starv-
ing and turbulent manufacturing population, for
which her>wisest councillors have as yet found
no effectual remedy, il seems improbable tina:
the attention of the Cabinet Councils should be
directed TO the relief of foreign nations and to
their political regeneration. 1t is not to be sup
posed that the present government OF france
will acquiesce, without struggle, in the pro-
posed deliverance Of Spain from her present
bonds. Spain and Portugal, both under liberal
constitutions, would present an appalling spec
tacle TO the absolute monarchs OF the Holy Al
lance. Should such demands as are here spok-
en- of, be insisted on, they will probably be en-
forced only by an appeal to arms. These pip
ing times Of peace have generated many evils
in the political horizon Of Europe, which, 1t
may be thought, the storm OF war alone can
purify. Should the intelligence in the annexed
article be correct, the ministers probably ant,-
cipae such an event
From Bels London Weekly Messenger Of July 80.
There have been several Cabinet Councils
holden in the course Of this week, and it is very
currently reported, and very generally believed,
that they relate 10 business of great importance,
and that, in most Of the subjects Of discussion,
our ministers have come to their decision An
II of rio 10 bn
personal presence in one Of those councils, and
il is very reasonable inference that The sub
ect which was there discussed was one of UNI
usual consequence. 1t is impossible to arrive
at any certain particulars upon points which the
parties concerned are bound not to divulge, but
as these meetings must necessarily be attended
and assisted by clerks, secretaries, and other "a
gents, the general circumstances at least be.
come very shortly known
One of these sub iecls has been the affairs Of
Greece, upon which ii is at lenp,1at decided to
act IN union The demand fof Such it is, Of
the European Governments, is as we believe,
that the sublime Porte shall give the Greeks
government established upon the same general
principles with those of Wallachia and Mol
davia. The Greeks to De allowed to nominate
their own prince, but who is to be sub ject TO APP
prova, rejection, and removal, by the Turks =
The Greeks to pay an annual tribute in one gross
sum, instead of arbitrary taxes for particular
cities, and this tax TO be collected and as
sessed under the authority Of the Greek Prince
No Turkish magistrates or military comman-
ders to be stationed throughout Greece, and
where the Turks are in too great number for
the peace and good order of a town and neigh
borhood, they may be.removed upon indemnity
for their houses and property.
This is the Constitution Of Modavia and ii
is very reasonable conjecture that all the same
provisions will be extended to Greece. 1t is I'M
derstood that Mr.. Canning is the warm friend
of the Greeks, and will exert himself TO do eve
ry thing for them which is consistent with the
two main principles upon which this question
must be determined. No Incorporate and un-
necessary interpostion with the independence
Of the Government Of Constantinople; and Sc
condly, the protection of Europe against the t.
ventual ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Russia by any future
annexation Of the Greek Provinces.
The second subject of the discussion in these
Cabinet Councils has been the affairs of Spain,
upon which, likewise, we believe the British
Government has come to resolution to act
with dehnitive determination. The British
Cabinet can no longer allow that Spain should
remain so completely at the mercy Of France,
as az any time to be incorporated with that mo-
rchy. A sufficient time has elapsed 10 es-
tabish, beyond all doubt, that the Spaniards
will not peaceably and TRANQUILITY submit TO the
absolute government Of Ferdinand, and that ii
is the wish of the Nation to have Constitutions
al Government of two chambers. The exam
pie of the Emperor of Brazil has confirmed the
strength of these arguments, and has rendered
it no longer possible for Ferdinand to refuse or
withhold similar charter to his own subjects,
without perpetuating and extending state of
anarchy and misgovernment which Europe can
not longer admit. Ferdinand, however, is still
very reluctant to make this concession, and We
ry probably is endeavoring to make an alliance !
with the Russian Emperor and Ministry, who
are from interest averse to all reforms. The |
British Cabine! has here very difficult game
to play, but we trust that it will succeed in ex-
tending the blessings of free and settled Gov
eminent into these regions.
