FRANCE. The French Ministry are proceeding in the execution of three measures of considerable importance. first, a law introduced to the Peers, is for raising 60,000 men yearly, instead of 40,000, as at present, and extending their time of service to eight years instead of four by this measure, France will have an immense standing army in time of peace. The second project relates to education: all professors and masters of schools are required to provide themselves with licenses to carry on their establish ments; and it is intended, by returning no licenses except to friends, to throw the whole monopoly of instruction into the hands of the Ultras and Jesuits. The third measure is that of extending the duration of the Chambers to seven years, like that of England.

SPAIN. All the accounts that we receive from Spain convey a most lamentable picture of miseries which have been introduced into that country under the auspices of the French. So far from any thing like contentment or peace, the land is filled with discord and violence, which, with all the aid of foreign armies, cannot be kept down. According to the accounts contained in the last Paris papers, it appears that the cities of Cordova, Valencia, and Seville, have been the scene of violent re-actions. At Cordova, a conspiracy was formed by the Exaltados, as they are called, for assassinating all who were known for their attachment to the Constitutional system. The plot was discovered before it was carried into execution, and only ten persons, we are told, were murdered. At Valencia, the violent Royalists have satisfied themselves with imprisoning a number of persons of wealth and consideration in society; while at Seville, it is stated, that “a score of persons, detained in prison for their political opinions, have lost their lives." It is said, Ferdinand has sent to France for more troops, and that they have been refused until the amnesty is passed.

PORTUGAL.The accounts from this country announce a change in the Ministry of Portugal, which is likely to lead to beneficial results. Oliveira, the Minister of the Interior, and Marinho, the Minister of Justice, have been removed from those posts. They were of the Queen's party, and have been con

sidered the promoters and authors of most of the arbitrary measures resorted to since the restoration of the Monarchical Government. It is believed that their removal will be followed by a general amelioration of the system, and that a general amnesty, with certain modifica. tions, will shortly be issued.

GREECE.-A letter from Zante, dated March 13, announces the capture of the important place of Coron, the last bul wark of the Turks in the south of the Morea. This town was carried by storm by the Greeks under the command of an ecclesiastic, Zerbino, who took it by surprise. The occupation of the town and castle of Arta by Constantine Bozzaris is also confirmed, as well as the insurrection of the Pacha of Egypt; and it is hinted that some power, whose name is not given, has expressed a wish to reestablish the throne of the Egyptian Sul. tans. Lord Byron and Colonel Stanhope were still at Missolonghi, superintending the preparations for the siege of Lepanto. A large ship from London has brought them a great quantity of powder, cannons, mortars, shells, cannon-balls, and other kinds of ammunition.

According to the Augsburg Gazette, the Greeks have compelled Arta to capitulate, and have directed their victorious arms against Joannina, in the full confidence of speedily becoming masters of that important place also.

TURKEY.-General Guilleminot left Paris on the 20th April, for Constantinople, where the negotiations between the Porte and Russia have taken a very favourable turn, and where a Russian ambassador was daily expected. The Russian arms had been replaced over the gate of the Russian consul's house, to the great joy of the Turks. The English declaration of war against Algiers, the nominal subject of the Porte, has excited a great sensation in the capital of Turkey, and, coupled with the operations of Lord Byron, had not a little embarrassed the pacific exertions of Lord Strangford.

ASIA.

EAST INDIES.-Accounts have been received from Batavia of the 13th of December, from which we learn, that the Padries in the island of Sumatra had had the boldness, during the absence of Lieutenant-Colonel Raaff, to recommence hos
