be aggravated, by the incidents and ca
sualties OF foreign warfare. A reduce
ton OF the military malcontent power of
Russia may be naturally anticipated by
surrounding states. Let, then, the Duke
of Wellington come back to England,
after happily concluding negotiation
on the success OF which has depended
the peace of Europe, and the only chance
OF breathing time for this oyerburthened
and exhausted country, and we shall hail
the execution of such task as among
the most glorious of his achievements.
COMMERCIAL DISTRESS.
STOCKHOLM, MARCH 10.
The terrible commercial crisis which
is now felt in the chief mercantile cities
in Europe, has extended its consequent
ces to us. Some GotteBburgh houses
have stopped payment, but IT is hoped
that the most.of them will be able soon
to begin again. Our exchange has no,
been much affected by these msfortunes,
and the loss of those who had the most
connexion with Goldschmidt is consider
able. But events in England have had
an immediate and very injurious effect.
The accounts from Gottenburg were
very alarming. Seven or eight houses
had stopped payment, among them Prytz
is said to have failed for 400 GOO rix dol
lars.
The Manchester Guardian, in noticing
the state of the trade for the week end
ing Monday, the ooh March, mentions
that less encouragement was given to
manufactures than 10 the previous week,
but thinks that the worst has passed,
and that the amendment in trade gener-
ally, will be sure and gradual. The
Glasgow Chronicle, speaking of the
trade for the same week, says:
There is general stagnation IN bu
siness, and money appears to be fully as
scarce as ever. Temptations to manu-
facture are not wanting, as the price OF
cotton yarn and the rate of weaving con-
tinue lower Than they were on any for
mer occasion. @
The severe stagnation Of trade, occa-
stoned by the re action Of the small note
currency, is now become very obvious
among the carriers. Many who drove
two carts, and formerly were certain Of
being fully loaded, now go and depart
without load sufficient for one. On
the whole, the internal carriage is reduc
ed to about half since the commence
mept OF The present dizziness"

The London Courier of the 22d says:
:" the accounts from Windsor this NOR
ming respecting the Kings health, con-
tinue to be most favorable-his progress
towards convalescence was extremely
satisfactory" /, was deemed unneces.
sary to issue any more bulletins on the
subject of his health.
PortugaL-A London paper Of the
22d ullimo, announces, on what it terms
good authority, that "regard being had
to the very delicate circumstances in
which the Kingdom and Royal Family
OF Portugal are placed by the demise OF
the Crown, and complex eniang dement's
of Don Pedro, the existing Regency is
to be continued for some considerable
time, and to be supported by the mflu-
ence of the British and French govern
menis."
The same paper asserts that in order
to overswe, ii requisite, the Queens fac
ton, strong squadron Of English men
of war has been gradually collecting in
the Tagus, where it now remains; and
where it cannot fail to inspire the neces-
sary confidence in the Regent aud her
Ministers, against all opponents.

Our correspondent at Madrid, in let
ter of the 9th March, says, that an inn
por.ant piece OF news, The report Of which
was spread in that capital, was general
subject Of conversation.
The Political Government of Valen-
cia, it is said, has sent report to the 60.
vernment, according to which the two
brothers BEGAN, who landed on the coast
of Malaga, and whose death has been
announced, desired at the last moment
to make disclosures. On this applica-
ton, their execution was suspended, after
the departure Of the courier who brought
the news Of il. The result Of their dis.
closuresis, that they have announced the
existence OF revolutionary forces at Ma.
pies, at Paris, and at London, where
plots against monarchical governments
are continually formed.
