RUSSIA. 
This government indicates activity 
and uneasiness. Its gazettes have 
lately contained various denounce- 
ments of liberty and civilization, and 
some paragraphs relative to the Con- 
stitution of Spain, which portend 
mischief. The Russian army is even 
said to have given indications of an 
intelligent and perturbed spirit; and 
Poland is reported to be far from sa- 
tisfied with its incorporation with Si- 
beria. The Emperor, however, is on 
his way to the Congress, to meet other 
potentates and plenipotentiaries, for 
the benefit either of kings or of peo- 
ple. Time will show; for, happily, 
neither kings nor people can control 
events, however much they wish or 
affect to do so, 
SPAIN. 
The equivocal and treacherous mi- 
nisters whom Ferdinand has counte- 
nanced about his person, have by late 
events been superseded by a patriotic 
administration, which enjoys the con- 
fidence of the nation, and identifies it 
with the government. 
In the mean time, the conspiracies 
which the former administration, aided 
by foreign courts, had organized in 
various provinces, have broken out; 
and, although they were suppressed in 
some places, yet on the French fron- 
tiers they proved in general too strong 
for the authorities, and Catalonia has 
become the prey of civilwar. Itmay 
however be hoped, that the constitu-

tional ministry will scon bring a suffi- 
cient force to bear on the districts in 
possession of the banditti, which have 
whimsically assumed the denomina- 
tion of “the Army of the Faith.” It 
will be a stratagem as strange and 
desperate as it is probable and dan- 
serous, if the friencs of despotism 
should endeavour to blend their odious 
and rotten cause with that of the 
Christian religion ; but of this impious 
expedient all true Christians will 
beware. 
Portugal enjoys repose, and has, it 
is said, offered an auxiliary army to 
the Spanish Constitationalists, which 
the latter do not require. 
GREECE. 
It turned out to be true, as noticed 
in our last, that some intrepid Greeks 
contrived, with the subtlety and cou- 
rage of their national character, to 
conduct some fire-ships into the mid- 
dle of the Turkish fleet, lying in guilty 
security at Scio. ‘They set fire to the 
Admiral’s ship, of 140 guus and 2060 
men, which was burnt, and the greater 
part of these agents of legitimacy and 
the Holy Alliance perished, together 
with that monster the Capitan Pasha, 
who had committed such unparalleled 
atrocities in Scio. Two other ships 
were also destroyed, and the whole 
dispersed. 
This event has conferred new ener- 
gy on the Greeks, and they have 
beaten the Turks in several engage- 
ments by land, so as to have rendered 
the southern parts of Greece free. 
In the mean time, the legitimate 
Turkish government, depending like 
other branches of the Holy Alliance 
on its armed slaves, has becn, like 
some of them, endangered by its own 
means. The Janissaries revolied in 
Constantinople, and, after committing 
frightful slaughters on the unarmed 
citizens, threatened the seraglio itself. 
Asiatic banditti were now resorted to, 
and, after a desperate and bloody con- 
flict, the Janissaries were overpowered, 
and one of the usual triamphs of legi-— 
timacy was displayed in “the exccu- 
tion of thousands of the Janissaries, and 
their adherents. The executioners, it 
seems, could not work with suflicient 
rapidity to satisfy the vengeance of 
their employers, and the victims ‘‘ were 
tied together, and thrown into the 
sea.”
