in other respects the papers are barren oil inter.

rid would seem TO show, that the Spanish Go.
vernment was anxious to persuade the British
Minister, Mr. Lamb, that it was unconneced
with and disapproved, the invasion by the re-
volted Portuguese reg iments, of the territory
of Portugal. The British government, how.
ever, had decided that question Tor itself, on the
principle that what Spain could, and did not,
prohibit, she permitted.
II is stated in the Journal du Commerce OF
the 18th Dec. that the Marquis Of Hastings,
better known in this country as Lord Rawdon
and afterwards Lord MORA, died in the harbor
Of Naples, on board the ship which was cor.

The following extract from the Augsburr.

that the Christian powers Of Europe are abou,
to interfere for Greece.
Napoi al Romagni, 18Th Oct.-An English
vessel arrived yesterday from Constan,irople,
brought to the Committee Of the National As.

In some subsequent explanation which Mr.
S. Canning transmitted through Commodore
Hamilton, it is said that Mr.. &. expressed his
confidence in the good intentions Of France re.
speeding Greece, and that he hoped much from
the steps he was authorised to take at Cons,an.
linople.
On this same subject an article from Odessa
Of the 2sd Nov. thus speaks:
The Divan is constantly occupied with .he
propositions of Mr.. Canning on the subject of
Greece: various favorable circumstances induce
the belief that the Porte will acccde 10 them;
although the Refs Effnd has latterly declared
in an official way, that henceforth he would

ments on the king of frances speech
AS soon as the speech was public, consider.
able fall occurred in the funds: this may have
been the result of several combined causes, hu,
the words put into the kings mouth must main
ly have contributed to it. These words afford
but feeble assurance Of general peace.
That portion Of the speech
which relates to foreign affairs, is inexpIiesbly
laconic, considering the deep interest Of the &C.
tual relations OF France with other powers

can assure you that the uneasness OF our 20.
vernmen, is very great, in consequence of The
invasion Of Portugal, and it spare, no pains to
quiet Nj. Lamb, whose notes daily be,om,
more threatening. To this end the minister
OF war has sent the following order to all the
commanders Of the frontier provinces:-
"Every Portuguese Cons,itutionalis,. who
may have been. made a prisoner of war on the
invasion of the hnfdnfisfes, and shall enter the
Spanish territory, shall be treated with every
kindness, and such hospitality shown him a., is
due TO the subjects Of friendly nations and al.
