terary and political slaughter which has been committed.

Not

From what is stated in the French papers, it appears that the King's health is continuing rapidly to decline, and that it is not probable that he can struggle much longer with the accumulation of diseases under which he labours. withstanding his deplorable situation, however, he is represented as performing with regularity the fatiguing duties of his high station, in so far as these consist in attending public ceremonials, holding levees, and giving audiences. It argues no small degree of fortitude to make even such exertions as these ; and it is impossible for a moment to suppose that his Majesty can at present interfere with or control the measures of the government. Indeed this unavoidable, and, we are convinced, most unwilling relin quishment of his more essential functions, seems to afford the only feasible means of accounting for the increasing disre gard shewn by his Ministers for the constitutional principles, such as they are, which exist in the theory of the French government. The King is known to have been uniformly moderate and liberal in his views; and his whole reign has been a continued personal struggle against those members of his family and government who have for their object the complete re-establishment of the an cient order of things. In this struggle, though he has frequently failed, yet he has sometimes been successful: and his name will go down to posterity as that of one of the most virtuous and patriotic of the French Monarchs. Unhappily, however, his personal influence must now be at an end. His Ministers are beginning to look towards the rising sun; and the character and politics of the presumptive heir to the throne are sufficient to account for the present policy of those individuals, who must speedily depend on his pleasure for a continuance of their power and dignity.

SPAIN.-Spain, far from being in a tranquil state, is still the scene of se rious commotions, and in different quarters, the adherents of the constitutional party are carrying on a desultory warfare against the French troops. On the 3d, they surprised the fortress of Tariffa, and spread alarm even to Seville. Their success in this quarter, however, was not of long continuance, as it appears from the following official dispatch from General Digeon, that Tariffa was retaken by storm on the 19th.

"The fortress of Tariffa was taken by storm on the 19th, at five o'clock in the afternoon, by the French and Spa

nish troops. The rebels, who retreated into the island, were attacked the next morning, at day-break, by the landing of French troops of the 34th regiment of the line. One Chief only escaped in a boat; the rest were killed or taken. The prisoners have been delivered up to the Spaniards, to be tried according to the laws."

But Tariffa was not the only point where the Constitutionalists gained a footing. Another party landed at Marbella, but no mention is made of its final destruction or capture. This movement is taken notice of in the report of General O'Donnel, as follows:

"Merconchini, who had come out of Gibraltar with 150 smugglers, hoped to land at Estepona, but he could not succeed, and therefore could only disembark at Marbella. He levied 50,000 reals, but had scarcely collected seven, when, seized with a panic at the report of the ap proach of our brave mountaineers, he hastily re-embarked. He attempted to return to Gibraltar, but the English would not let him."

Detestation of the French seems to be the universal feeling among all classes of Spaniards; and the most likely effect of persisting to keep military possession of Spain, will be to unite all parties in a simultaneous attempt to drive out the invaders.

The Spanish King has issued a decree declaring free-masonry, and all secret societies, high treason against God and the King! And all persons who harbour such societies are to be subject to the penalties of treason.

GREECE. On the 3d of July, the Turks, under the Captain Pacha, succeeded in surprising the island of Ipsara, and obtaining possession of it, the troops on the island, and many of the inhabitants, escaping by flight. One fort, that of St. Nicolo, alone held out against the infidels, and latterly the garrison, consisting of about seventy men, nobly sacrificed themselves, for the sake of vengeance on their invaders. They blew up the fort, and thereby, it is said, destroyed about 20,000 of the Turks. In the mean time, the Ipsariots, who had been obtaining succours from Hydra, returned, and, attacking the Turkish fleet, obtained a decisive victory, destroying the greater part of it. They afterwards landed and re-took Ipsara, cutting to pieces the few Turkish troops who had been left upon it; and it is said the Captain Pacha himself only escaped their fate by a sudden flight. No regular narrative of these proceedings has appeared in any official or connected shape, and two of all the numerous statements
