The v'oveinment now established, is republican, and is in some of its feature, even more democratic thai our own Time only can tell whether it will be permanent, From Greece, our accounts are somewhat contradictory, though taken together, rather favorable. We are authorised to announce Hiram Decker, as a candidate for the office of Recorder, at the August election.

FROM SUE'S IVEEKLr register.' An Edinburg paper says " The trade cf Ltith has not been so brisk for many years a? at present: every hand is employe 1 that chooses to work." Mavty other articles in the British papers indicate a similar state Of tilings. The mechanics and manufacturers are busy and prosperous, and the commerce of the country, interior and exterior, is lively. The agriculturists only suffer, because the surplus ptocluct of their cops has diminished, instead of increased the money value of what they have to sell plenty operates against such an atnount, as scarcity advances it. Now, in Baltimore, it is verily believed, that not one person in fifty, is making money," as the phrase is and he is regarded as fortunate who is not losing xiioiv y, which is not the lot of one third cf the population who have any thing to lose ; and thousands are in a state of actual suffering. There arc families of four or five persons that somehow exist on about a dollar a week, expended for articles of food I And we sec that a certain

meeting of the citizens of Montgomery county, in the state of Maryland, has been held, at which a public address was voted, soliciting the aid ef the humane and charitable of Baltimore, Washington and Georgetown, to prevent the poor of that district from starving for want of bread, as is stated in the National Intelligencer.

We have before mentioned the report that the people of Guatamala had proposed to join themselves to, and become citizens of the United States Sc it now appears that eight commissioners from that country have actu ally arrived at Boston, on a visit to our government, with a view to the purposes above stated. By an arrival at New York, we learn thit Mr. Forsyth, our late Minister to Spain, was expected to have embarktd at Bordeaux for New York on the 15th ult. By that time it is almost certain that the suspence in which the movements of the French army seem to have been kept will have terminated, and we shall have information of a decisive nature from the frontier The following extract of a letter, published in the New York papers, shows that Mr. F. had not been without an opportunity of observing the preparations for hostilities: Extract r.f a letter from Bordeaux, dated March 22 MYcur minister to Spain, Mr. Forsyth,

The road is said to be literally cov--red with troops of the invading army, commanded by dukes, Marshals, Counts, and Generals of every degree, all advancing with the confidence of victors, and xpeaing, or seeming to expect to find victims and not opponents in the Spanish troops. They will, however, if reliance can be placed on the accounts cT those who have recently traversed Spain, be wofully disappointed; and it is perhaps, not hazardous to say that, of the 100,000

men who are destined to enter Spain, not

30,000 will ever rccrosi the Pyrenees.

It is asserted in some of the papers (says the Baltimore Federal Gazette) that Russia has determined on sending an army to the aid of France, and that orders to march had been issued some time. The knowledge of these circumstances, at the English Court, it is said, led to a negotiation at St Petersburgh through the medium of Sir Charles Bagot, aided by the Austrian Ambassador, and it was hoped that their united representations woutd have the effect of at least delaying the departure of the troops. The Paris Constitutionne; of the third of pril doubts the correctness of these statements, and says: " For some days past a report has been circulated in some companies, which le themselves eminently French, of g. movements in the Russian army, whu thev made to advance bv forced
