EUROPE.

FRANCE.-Extract of a private letter from Paris, dated January 17:-"It is remarked that the King has been particularly active lately-that is to say, as active as his infirmity will allow him to be. He rises at eight o'clock, and before nine all the French newspapers are placed before him, with a bottle of good wine also, of which he partakes sparingly. He reads the leading articles of every paper, and continues this labour-for it is indeed a labour here, and would be found one, I believe, even in England, with some of your papers until breakfast time, and when that is over, the English newspapers are brought to his Majesty. The entire remainder of the day is taken up in audiences, Cabinet Councils, intrigues with Foreign Ministers, and now and then an airing. At ten o'clock he retires to bed. Consider ing his local afflictions, he really enjoys something like health; for though, in his appearance, he is all that is gross and displeasing, he is rarely in bodily pain. His chief illness is rather a personal blessing. He drops into a lethargic stupor, from which nothing can for a time arouse him, and he is insensible to bodily pain."

ITALY. The French papers contain some details of the trials instituted in Lombardy by the Austrian Government

against the Carbonari and members of secret political societies. The accused were twenty-five in number, several of them noblemen. Sixteen were condemn. ed capitally, and nine acquitted. Of the sixteen condemned ten are not in custody, and the sentences of the others were commuted to imprisonment for life, or for terms of years, Even those stated to be acquitted were fined, and deprived of their privileges of nobility.

SPAIN. The accounts from Spain, received through the French papers, and by private letters, show how deplorable is the condition of that country. The province of Gallicia is said to be in a state of general commotion. The active disturb ers and aggressors are the partizans of the Faith, who traverse the province in armed bands, for the purpose of plunder and revenge. The consequence may be easily conceived-in every quarter robbery and bloodshed. The capital is equally convulsed, but without the same scenes of pillage and bloodshed. Lives, however, have been lost in affrays between the Spanish regiments and the troops of the French garrison. The consequence of the frequent quarrels between them is, that the French General, Bourmont, has ordered all the Spanish troops out of Madrid. Only some small bands of the corps of the

Faith have been disembodied, and of these some have become absolute banditti. Such is the powerless state of the Government, that, in defiance of its command, the Bishops, and heads of monkish orders, main tain their ground in the capital, under a mockery of sickness. In Madrid, it is believed that a new convulsion will ere long take place.

King Ferdinand is represented, in letters from Bayonne, as persecuting furiously the partisans of the late Constitution, fining and banishing even the women who have sung patriotic songs. He has prohibited the entry of all foreign books and publications into Spain, and orders the police to seize them, either in the booksellers' shops or in private hands-particularly journals, pamphlets, satirical pieces, or caricatures, which attack his person or prerogatives, or wherein the measures of his government are censured or ridiculed. In another decree, Ferdinand admits that his enemies exist in great numbers, and indulge, not only with audacity of speech, but they also infest the public roads, with arms in their hands; and he therefore orders a permanent military commission to be fixed in each of the capitals of provinces, to try such offenders.

In the night of the 10th, an attempt was made to carry off the guard at Valencia, but failed.

The Spanish Prime Minister, M. de Casa Irujo, is dead. His demise was accelerated, if not wholly occasioned, by a calamity of a domestic nature-the loss of an only son, who was lately killed in a duel. M. Heredia, already a Minister, has succeeded Casa Irujo.

The proposed expedition from Cadiz to South America has been abandoned: at least no troops are to be sent ; but the ship of war Asia, and the Achilles brig, have actually sailed with sealed orders, it is supposed for Peru. If they should reach the Pacific, they will probably soon be added to the independent naval force.

PORTUGAL. It is stated in a French paper, that the Portuguese Government is preparing an expedition of 10,000 men, to recover possession of the Brazils.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.-From a statement in the Vienna Gazette, it appears that all matters are not yet amicably settled between Russia and Turkey. In answer to a formal demand of the Austrian Internuncio, for the evacuation of Moldavia and Wallachia, a new note had been written by the Reis Effendi, in which it is declared, that the Turkish forces shall not be withdrawn from these principalities, unless the troops of Russia are previously withdrawn from the Otto

man frontier. The Emperor Alexander, on his part, had given positive orders that the Russian armies shall remain in their present cantonments until the differences with the Porte are finally settled. The Vienna Gazette says, that the note of the Reis Effendi has actually been received in the Austrian capital by an extraordinary courier.

RUSSIA. The Emperor Alexander has promulgated an Imperial Ukase, making considerable additions to the Russian Tariff of duties on the importation of various articies of luxury and manufacture. The professed object of these regulations is the discouragement of luxury, and the protection and encouragement of the native industry of Russia; but they are characterized by the blindness of a semi-barbarous nation, and will terminate in a loss to the prohibiting Government, by lessening the demand for the articles which Russia has to export.

TURKEY AND GREECE. The news from the East is extremely favourable to the Greeks, who have not only raised the siege of Missolunghi, but have landed at Scio, and compelled the Turks to shut themselves up in the castle. They have also made an attack upon Smyrna, with some success. The Turks are at the last extremity in Patras. They lost 3000 men before Missolunghi, with all their artillery. Maurocordato (who had ar

rived there, accompanied by Lord Byron, Colonel Stanhope, and Lieutenant-Colonel de Launy,) had cut two Turkish ships out of the Gulf of Patras, one of which had on board 300,000 piastres in specie. All foreigners have been requested to assemble at Missolunghi, under the command of Lord Byron, for the aid of Greece. The Central Government of Greece is transferred to Argos. A new rupture between the Porte and Persia is dreaded. During the negotiations for peace, a Turkish corps suddenly attacked Bagdad, and put the Persian garrison to the sword. The foregoing intelligence has produced such a sensation in the Divan, that the Turkish Ministry has been turned out. The Reis Effendi is succeeded by Saib Effendi. The Grand Vizier is exiled to Gallipoli, and he is succeeded by Galib Effendi. It is the moderate European party which is now in office.

An article dated Frankfort, Jan. 18th, says, " According to the latest intelligence from Greece, the Albanians have definitively abandoned the standard of the Crescent, and declared themselves neuter. Lord Byron is, at this moment, very active. He is occupied in forming a corps of 800 Europeans, fully equipped, and who will be ready to enter the campaign in
