f ROM NILES WEEKLY REGISTER. foreign news. Spain.-The finances arc in such a wretched condition, that

Ferdinand had not been able to fit out a minister to attend tho coronation of the king of France, or to allow the Spanish ambassador, at Vienna, to follow the emperor of Austria to Milan. Spain is disturbed by parties of guerillas the regular troops are asbadiy paid, clothed and fed as is possible, and are rapidly deserting ; they have mutinied on several occasions, and the cry of live the constitution,' is pretty frequently heaid. Blood is oftentimes shed, and misery abounds. The wretchednes of the people is seemingly increasing, and would appear nearly to have reached that point at which suffering becomes intolerable. But what the event will be " no one knowcth." Germany. The Hanoverian government has ordained, that capital convicts shall be executed by the guillotine. Turkey and Greece. Vc have now more pleasant accounts. Letters from Bitoglia and Jauina, announce that the Seraskier, Reschild Pacha, experienced a signal defeat on Faster day, and had re

treated to Janina. Smyrna advices stae that the Greeks had captured, near Suda, three Turkish vessels laden with ammunition, and several Austrian vessels that were conveying provisions to Pan as. Letters from Constantinople announce the death of Abdal Hamcd, heir of the

Uttoman throne, nis urotner was anso dangerously ill. The Janissaries, who were very desirous of giving the throne of the sultan to his son, arc much grived at his death, which is aitiibutcthto violence. ) The Ottoman troops, v Lo wcrtmarching for Thessaly, had been suddenly countermanded in consequence ot outers from Constantinople.

Thi- Greeks i-nt h-nt a few men, but among them was the la-it of the sotis of Mavrtm;chalis. This lan.iily of heroes, which haj paid lor most e" their victories with sonic of its blood, under the walls of Carystos as well as of Missolcmiki, and Navarin. reminds u? of the deeds of ancient Greece. There arc manv reasons to believe that

havc rcallv attended thern. It is

said t!:at Ulysses, who deserted, had been abandoned by all his men, and fled to the mountains Colcotroni and his associates were yet confined at Hydra. It is supposed thai the Albanians, on account of the h-vvi ading of some of their chiefs, will make a common cause with the Greeks.

Spain. As it is notorious that La Scr-

The negotiation for a new loan with Holland has been broken off what can the king give as security for its repayment : two frigates have been sent from Cadiz to drive off, or capture the Colombian privateer Maria Ysabcl. Many French soldiers have been murdered in different parts of Spain the kingdom appears to be ripening for some commotion. Crrer" The total defeat, and almost

ing on religious subjects, for the Bourbons are ics-ored" the most christian, k most catholic lines of kings now reign ! as is made manifest by the following re markable instance of the zeal with which the church is supported in Spain: " The military commission condemned a man to the galleys for ten years for having said that the image of the virgin Mary at Montscrat was made of wood. During the trial, the counsel for the prisoner remarked, that there was no more harm in saying that the image of the virgin at Montscrat was made of wood, than in saying that her image at Saragossa was made cf marble. Eor this expression, he? (the counsel,) was sentenced by the commission to six months imprisonment inc. fortress." But to be serious though the fact stated in the preceding is given as the truth we are almost afraid that so great a blessing has not been conferred on Peru, a& the abandonment of the country, at once, by 4000 idle, worthless and wicked consumers of the sweat of the people. Pest Offices. Since the first day of January last, (says the National Journal,) no less than 276 new post offices have been established. Independently of this addition, one of the great western mails, formerly transported but three times a week, has been made a daily mail ; and other arrangements, equally valuable, have been made to facilitate the arrivals and departures of the mail in other sections of the union. Yet, notwithstanding these additions to the annual expenditureg the revenue of the post office department which has for some yean pat been inad A French deputy was severely censured, and I think, somehow punished, not very long ago, for saying that the present king; was a man.

There is a strong report, that eight or ten Egyptian vessels have been captured. Com. Porter. The court martial for the trial of this distinguished officer met at the navy yard, in the city of Washington, on the 7th July, and has since been daily engaged in heat ing the testimony of sundry persons relative to the charges preferred. The names of the officers composing the court, were given last week. Com. Porter was asked if he had any objections to make to any member of the court but he only objected to the judge advocate, because that his original appointment had not been legal, and for the reason that he had expressed an opinion on the subject. Alter consultation, the court decided against the power of the accused to challenge the judge advocate. After the usual oaths had been administered, the charges and specifications were read by the judge advocate . The first charge is, disobedience of orders, and conduct unbecoming an officer ; and ihe specification alleges that captain Porter, in violating the territory of his catholic majesty, the king of Spain, by landing troops, in a hostile manner, and by Mt is stated, that after Ibrahim was first defeated with the loss of 1,500 men, he rcvcngul himself by cutting off the hands and ears of many European officers in his service, believing that they had betrayed the confidence reposed. We cannot have much pity for the fate of these profligate cr-atures, and their mutilation will be a lesson for others.
