By last Tuesdays Mail. From Bell's Weekly Messenger. RUSSIA AND ENGLAND. London, April 21. A report has just reached us, and wc fear upon good authority, that our Government has received an intimation that the Emperor Alexander totally disapproves of the conduct of the British Government in its recent negotiation with France in regard to Spain; and being of opinion that such a negotiation h s a direct tendency to weaken all the efforts of France, and to confirm what he is pleased to deem the audacity of the Spanish

Cortes, he (the Emperor Alexander) I

dee tu it necessary to notily, that ne snail support the French King with the whole forces of his empire; and, to that end, has ordered the march of a Rissian army towards the Netherlands. A corpse -l . n nr -.!- rlntiiunrl mfn ii l.n

and it is understood, that this corps will b instantly marched forwards. The E .

Great Fire at Constantinofitc. -The English papers state that none of the houses of the Ambassadors suffered at the la'e fire: The number of houses and shops destroyed is estimated at 8000, w ith 50 or 6 J masques or chapels. Every thing was laid waste to the distance of a league and a half Fony thousand persons were without a habitation, and great num )ers were consumed, being unable to get out of the reach if the flames by sickness Sec. This fire is said to li ive made a drep impression on the minds of the Turks, who with astonishment beheld the conflagration confine it

self to Turkish dwellings, and spared; as if directed by supernatural agency, the dwellings of the christians. Th. editor of a Paiis paper, after adverting to the rnmour that a new irrup ti oi .f 1 o 009 Russhns might be expected, stars thu Alexander has now on f Hjt, eight hundred th ) us and men! but doe - not believe that any ot these will march to.vards the west of Europe. Such a nrircii would lead to enormous expanses, p:rticularlyin reference to the means of Russia. Coin has entirely disappeared from that empire; even at the card table of the empress nothing but paper is to be seen, and that paper is not redeemable. Russia wants the means to make war in the west, and has powerful motive to make war in the east. 4L has ivleed, been said, that she has renounced Greece. But would she prefer Spain to G.'eccc ? Would she rather aid in suppressing some speculative notions which gives her little concern, than conquer a vast country surrounded by the sea, warmed by the sun, and which she has covctid for ages? 'This is most improbable, and. as to her rivalry with England, Rusmu knows that the greatest harm she could do to her would be to d ive her out of the peninsula, but to establish the Russian p nvcrin the Archipelago and Mediterranean. Thus, then, according to all appearances, the only interest of Kussia

m the Spanish war is to see it underta ken, but bv no means to aid in terminating it. Phil Gaz PVUENNEAN MOUNTAINS. A these mountains are ; bout becoming omcc more the scat of Euopean war, the following short desci iption of them m.v not be uninteresting to some of our readers: "This prodigious range of mountains

extends from the Atlantic to the Mediter-i ranean,a distance of two hundred miles, and many parts of them are one hundred miles in width. The roads or passes are four in number. The first and greatest is that which Joseph Bonaparte took on his route from Bayonne to Madrid. This road for about 22 leagues, lies through the Pyrennees The second pass is from Perpignanto Barcelona, a distance of 50 miles through the mountains, where in many places 100 armed peasants may arrest the march of an army, and where neither houses, provisions, nor accom

modations can be found. The third pass leads from Bayonne to Pampcluna, the

capital of Navarre: this difficult defite is

only passable between the months of May

and October. The iourth road is that

which leads from Terbes, in Bigoree, to Sarragossa. It is a tract merely pervious to muleteers during the summer, but in winter the wolves and snow render it to

tally impassable.

There are nearly sixty other narrow

passes, called openings, most ot which

are rugged, intricate, and hardly passa

ble for laden beasts, and even those are

frequently blocked up with snow. GEORGIA CHEROKEES.

In Committee and Council:

Whereas, it appears in the pi ints of the

pubht newspapers, that, in consequence

of the earnest solicitations of the Gover

the Cherokees, for the puipose of extm

guishing their title to lands within the

chartered limits claimed by the state of

Geotgia. And it also appearing in tne public prints, that the President of the

United States had appointed Commis

sioners in conformity to the views of said appropriation and anticipating a call by the Commissioners, the Head Chiefs of

the Cherokee Nation requested the Judg es to ascertain the sentiments and dtspo

sition of the citizens of their respective

districts on the subject, and to report the

same to them ; which reports having

been made, and now laid betore the Na

tional Committee and Council, declaring,

unanimously, with one voice, a determi nation to hold no treaties with any Com

missioners of the United States to make any cession of lands, being resolved not

to dispose of even one foot of ground: Bo

it therefore known and remembered that we, the undersigned, members of theV

National-Committee and Council, after

maturely deliberating on the subject -

Resolved by the National Committee and Members of Council That the Chiefs of the Cherokee Nation will not meet any Commissioners of the United States to hold a treaty with them on the subject of making cession of lands, the property of the Cherokee Nation, as we are deter mined, hereafter, never to make any cession of lands, having not more than suffi

cient tor our nation and posterity; but, on any other business not relating to making a treaty of cession, wc will, at all times, during the session of the National Council at New 'Town, receive the United States' Commissioners or Agents with friendship and cordiality, and will ever keep bright the chain of peace and friendship which links the Chemkee Nation and the government of the United S'ates.
