GENERAL IETELLIGEEcE.-A formida-
bic insurrection had taken place at Sara
gossa, in Spain; cavalry regiment had
revolted and seized the castle, but il
was finally defeated and fed; the city
was then placed under Martial Law.
The whole province of Madrid is in a
state of seige. Concha is deeply impli-
Gated, and it was reported that Navarrez
d Espartero were also implicated. The
whole country was greatly excited and a
general insurrection was feared.
The ice on the Baltic had broken up,
and the Russian feet at Cronstadt was
ready TO sail 1t was rumored that the
Gar had laid an embargo on British
shipping In Russian ports.
The Russian forces in the Principal.
ties were making extensive preparation
to cross the Danube.
Nothing new from Asia. Some Brit,
ish ships had been ordered to Trebisonde
TO suppress Greek insurrection.
Austria threatens the occupation Of
Bosnia and Servia, which caused a panic
in the Vienna Bourse.
The Cars reply to Napoleon's letter
is published; he says in the conclusion
that the conditions made known to the
conference at Vienna are the sole base
upon which he will consent to treat.
austria has finally decided upon a
conjunction with the Western powers to
summon Russia to evacuate the Princi-
palities by the 30th of next April.
Advices from Vienna under date Of
the 9th ult., say that the movement OF
the troops toward the frontiers still con-
tinued. and that the government troops
had decided in connection with the West
ern powers, to summon Russia to evacu-
ate the Principalities and if necessary,
to employ force to compel her to do so.
Intelligence had reached Brussels that
the Russian fleet was preparing to leave
Cronstadt; it was thought, probably to
gain the open sea before the arrival of
the combined fleets.
The negotiations between Russia and
Sweden had not yet terminated; and
fears were entertained at Stockholm,
that Russia, in order to give weight and
urgency to her demand, will make a de-
monstration with her feet against that
capital. The Russian envoy had pri-
vate audience with the King of Sweden
Ou tic [lSb Vi ICDIudTl.-
France, England and Russia contin-
ued the preparations for war on an ex-
tensive scale.
Sir Charles Napier had been ap-
pointed to the command of the Baltic
allied feet and Admiral Seymour was in
command of twenty ships already as
sembled at Spithead.
Omar Pasha was making preparations
to prevent the Russians from crossing
the Danube. The Turks were occupy
ing no position north of the Danube but
Kalafat. There had been considerable
skirmishing, whenever any portion of
the hostile forces came in contact, but no
important battle had been fought at the
last accounts.
Another convoy of 10000 troops
were about leaving Constantinople for
Betoum.
Some Greek insurrectionists had been
defeated in an engagement with the
Turks at Arta.
The Turkish Government, in concert
with that of England, France and Prus-
sia, had addressed remonstrance to the
Greek Court, and the latter apologized
and dismissed the Ministry of Poland.
The war continued popular in Great
Britain, and the additional estimates for
the army and navy were continued quite
moderate.
Napoleon opened the session of the
French Legislature on the s9nd inst
He commenced his speech by referring
to their deficient harvest, but said that
seven million bushels of wheat had been
imported, and more was on the way, so
that famine was effectually avoided
But, said he, war is beginning; France
had gone to war not without first doing
everything that honor permitted to avoid
a collision, but she must now draw the
sword, yet with no views of aggrandize-
ment; the days of conquest are passed,
never to return.
Europe had been treasured by the
of the Emperor Alexander
of Russia, and his succ essor, Nicholas,
seemed to doubt the danger which
threatened it from the colossal powers,
which by successive encroachments she
purchased the North and the centre of
Europe, and Possesses almost exclusive
ly, two internal seas, from whence it is
easy for its armies and fleets to launch
forth against civilization.
