GREECE. 
The Greeks are still left by the Holy 
Alliance to defend themselves against 
their ferocious enemies. We hope all 
the threats of a war between Russia 
and Turkey have not been a cloak to 
ulterior designs on Spain. It is now 
said that the Turks have consented to 
evacuate Wallachia and Moldavia. 
Scio appears during the month to 
have been the victim of the most 
frightful mutual butcheries, first of the 
Turks, and then of the helpless Greeks. 
SPAIN. 
Let the Spanish Cortes beware of 
the intrigues of their foreign and do- 
mestic foes! Both are constantly at 
work, and, like the mole, under- 
ground. The Holy Alliance are not 
moving openly, but it is not moving 
the less! The papers are filled with 
notices of petty insurrections and local 
massacres,—all, we fear, parts of a

system. Portugal ought not to look 
on without concern; for the fate of 
Spain decides that of Portugal. 
FRANCE. 
This country, owing to the inroads 
on the Charter and on the Liberties of 
the Press, is in a state of great inquie- 
tude. Riots have taken place at 
Lyons and other places ; and the chief 
dependance of the Bourbons seems to 
be on the Swiss mercenaries, while 
the presence of these exasperates the 
whole French population. 
NETHERLANDS. 
The unpopular measure of making 
the Netherlanders pay their quota of 
taxes for the debt of Holland before 
the late forced union, has been carried 
by the votes of fifty-four Dutch repre- 
sentatives against fifty-one of the fifty- 
four of the Netherlanders, those of the 
two countries voting oppositely! The 
new taxes on the Netherlands com- 
mence, therefore, on the-Ist. of July, 
and have, as it may be. supposed, 
created great discontents. 
NORTH AMERICA. 
It affords us singular satisfaction to 
be able to announce, that the govern- . 
ment of North America, with a just 
respect to principles, has recognized 
the independance of the new repub- 
lics of South America, and that diplo- 
matic agents have been appointed in 
the usual forms. We lament that the 
commercial interests and political ho- 
nour of Great Britain are not consulted 
by asimilar recognition. 
The lust of dominion was never so 
palpably manifested as in the recent 
conduct of Russia. Not contented 
with a territory equal to one-fourth of 
the old continent, and which out-flanks 
the whole, it must needs seek domi- 
nion over the barbarous tribes’ on the 
north-west coast of America, and en- 
deavour, in like manner, to out-flank 
the new governments of America. 
We have often noticed its encroaching 
establishments on this’ coast, even so 
low as. California; but, by’ a formal 
edict, it now claims the sea-coast to 
lat. 51, including all that was surveyed 
by Vancouver and Cooke, and inter- 
dicts the approach of the vessels of all 
nations within 90 miles. Such a Rus- 
sian encroachment ought tobe regarded 
by the whole civilized: world as unwar- 
rantable but to the United States and 
the kingdom of Mexico, it would be as 
though She Russians, in regard to our- 
selyes, were in possession of the Scilly 
y 3N Islands ;
