PRESS.]  The state of Spain is at present only what we antieipated for that wretched and oppressed country, months since. Tyranny and proscription have done their vile work. Foreign bayonets now hold its provinces in thraldom, and civil war is starting up, with armed bands in its train, in every part of Spain, and from Arragon to Gallicia the spirit of resistance is every day gaining ground, and unfurling its standard wider.— General hatred to the French seems to be the leading principle of all parties : in that both the Constitutionalists and Fanatics only agree ; hatred and discord divide them in every thing beside. In Segovia, or near it, the Cure Merino, lately the partisan of absolute power, is hi arms against Ferdinand's Government. In La Mancha, Ovello and another Guerilla Chief avow Constitutional principles ; they sacrifice the friars and monks—the enemies of liberty, and after levying heavy contributions, retire into the mountains.—  Another strong band of Constitutionalists has taken post amid the fastnesses of the Sierra Morena ; their equipments are all sable, their horses of the same colour, and they wear the appalling distinction of a death's head on their breasts. These men seem devoted to free their country or perish ; the station they have assumed is almost impregnable, and they will not be easily subdued. Spain, the abode of superstition, bigotry, and tyranny, nursed and matured by ages, can only be purged by a lengthened and dreadful ordeal, by the work of time, and protracted and sanguinary contest; but the seeds are sown, and freedom ultimately will triumph in that country; the deadly night-shade of tyranny will be cut down throughout the land, and rational religion and liberty be dominant. This will take place, even though France; with its new Chamber,,be completely Royalist. The present elections throughout that country appear to have outgone the expectations of the very Ministry who had promoted them, and Villele, as the result, already totters in his seat. The Quotidienne even now anticipates a triumph over the Minister, and looks for Royalist reforms all through France. Attempts of this sort, however, may shake the Throne of the Bourbon• to its very foundations ; deep discontents from the landed proprietors and manufacturers would follow on the first symptoms, and any further attacks on what the Revolution consummated, may bring ruin in their train to the family who countenanced them and their incorrigible adherents. The Etoile of Monday state, that Patras had not yet surrendered to the Greeks; the place was closely pressed. The French paper insinuates that division prevails among the Greek Chiefs. This we should deeply regret in every way : it would form the only bar that now perhaps exists to the freedom of the gallant Christians ; but the French paper is to be little relied on. The first numbers of the Greek Gazette, printed at Missolonghi, had been received at Corfu, and created great interest. A French journal, it is said, would also be printed there. The situation of Greece will thus be fairly laid before Europe, and the heroic achievements of her sons detailed. The slanders of the Austrian journal and the Smyrna paper will now be read no more. Lord Byron was still at Missolonghi, and the rights of citizenship were conferred on him in full Senate. Ilia new poem, The Triumph of Hellas, had been translated into Greek. If the genius of Lord Byron had not already immortalized him, his disinterested and generous patronage of the Greek• cause would be sufficient to crown him with lasting fame and glory. Liberty in Eastern Europe must now be triumphant. These delicious countries, consecrated by every classic remembrance, and enriched by nature vs ith an unsparing band, must now be free, if Russia does not rush in with her hordes in the moment o  completion, and clutch the splendid spoil as her own. The sabre of the Ottoman is broken, and he can no longer spread murder and violation through Greece with his Janissaries, or trample all justice and liberty beneath the hoofs of his Delhis and Spahis. It is a glorious resurrection for Greece—au era that will lire in immortal history for ever.  [monNING
