EUROPE.

FRANCE. On the night of the 22d No. vember, an attempt was made to murder the Duke Decres, Ex-minister of Marine of France. The Duke retired to bed about twelve o'clock; shortly afterwards he was blown out upon the floor by an explosion of gunpowder under the matresses; a second detonation succeeded in a few seconds, and the room was in a flame. The Duke called his valet, who slept in an adjoining cabinet; the latter answered, "I am lost," and instantly jumped from the window into the street, a height of 40 feet. His shrieks brought the centinels to the spot, to whom he declared that some villains had thrown him out of the window. The Duke made his way out of the apartment, and medical

aid was immediately procured; it was found that he had his right thigh and arm much burnt. The firemen, on examining the apartment, found that several pounds of powder had been deposited between the matresses, and ignited by means of a train which led under the door. Every thing appeared to justify the suspicion, that the valet was the author of this horrible design, particularly when it was discovered that bank bills had been taken from the Duke's writing-desk to the amount of 9000 francs. He has since died in the hospital of the injury which he received by his fall from the window.

SPAIN. The Spanish Cortes closed its Session on the 9th November. The King being, as stated, unwell with a cold and

hoarseness, the President read his Majesty's speech, from which the following are ex

tracts:

“I feel thankful for the generosity with which the Cortes have provided for the wants and decorum of my house and those of the royal family, and I cannot but applaud the frankness and justice with which, in solemnly acknowledging the obligations and charges of the state, they have approved the indispensable means of discharging them; thus laying the foundation of our national credit and future felicity. These wise measures, with others intended suitably to organize the land and sea forces, to facilitate the circulation of our territorial riches, to remove all opposing obstacles, to establish a plan of finance, such as may reconcile the interests of the state with those of the people, have been objects of the incessant application and continued exertions of the Congress, and rendered them deserving of the universal estimation of Europe, and the just gratitude of the kingdom. At the same time, I cannot but assure you, that my heart has been filled with gladness on beholding the measures of prudent generosity and indulgence with which the Cortes have endeavoured to heal the wounds of the nation, and efface the remembrance of the evils by which it had been rent, opening the door of reconciliation to error and obstinacy, and at the same time still leaving alive the sweet hope that you will henceforward continue animated by the same noble sentiments, in order to cement the constitutional system on the basis of fraternity and reciprocal love of all Spaniards.

"By this means the solid power of the nation, and of the monarchical authority by which it is directe, go on increasing, and at the same time that improvements in our internal situation are preparing, we acquire more founded rights to the consideration of foreign governments, all of whom continue to give me proofs of their friendly dispositions. Every day I congratulate myself more and more on governing a people so worthy and so generous.

(Signed)

"FERDINAND." When the President had declared the sittings closed, great applause followed from the spectators; the deputies, on entering the streets, were received with every token of regard and esteem, and in the evening the city was brilliantly illuminated.

PORTUGAL.-Advices from Lisbon, to the 18th November, contain accounts of the Spanish Constitution having been adopted in that city, by the heads of the civil government, and of the Portuguese army, on the 11th inst. The cause of this measure appears to have been a fear that their liberty would be endangered by further delay. On the 13th, four members of the government requested their discharge; but

VOL. VIL.

In

on the 17th, in consequence of a resolution of the general officers, commanders of divisions, &c. that it was necessary for the public interest that they should continue in office, they resumed their functions. the same military assembly, it was resolved that the modifications which may be necessary in the Spanish constitution shall be left to the Cortes, who are to be convoked as soon as possible. There are to be 100 deputies.

DENMARK.-Accounts from Copenhagen of the 21st November state, that a conspiracy to overturn the government had been discovered and timely frustrated. Several arrests had in consequence taken place, but the public tranquillity had not been disturbed. The leader in the conspiracy is a Dr Dampé, well known for his revolutionary principles; he had succeeded in organizing a secret association, composed for the most part of athletic and vigorous handicraft-men, and imbued them with his own seditious notions. They had formed a plan to force open the prisons; to seize, by the aid of the convicts, on all the arsenals, and magazines of warlike stores, to murder all the high officers of state, not excepting even the king himself; and finally to proclaim a representative constitution, after the example of Spain and Portugal.

RUSSIA-Some discontent, it appears, had recently manifested itself in one of the regiments of Russian guards at Petersburgh, which at length broke out into open insubordination and mutiny. The regiment is composed altogether of the young nobility; and the harassing and unnecessary severity of the discipline, to which they were subjected by their colonel, is stated to be the cause of their discontent. They had been under orders for a field day on the Sunday morning, when on the evening before they assembled without orders, and in arms, and marched towards the residence of their colonel, who, however, having received timely information of their motions, and suspecting himself to be the object of them, fed hastily from his house. When the mutineers saw their expectation of seizing their colonel defeated, they wreaked their revenge on his dwelling, which was nearly rifled of all its contents, and much injured. Meanwhile the alarm spread; the other troops in garrison were called out, and led to the spot where the work of depredation was going on. They succeeded without difficulty in reducing the rebels to submission, and thus stifled a spirit of insubordination that might have proved highly dangerous to the Russian capital. The mutincers were all dispatched to a fortress in Finland. The accounts from Petersburgh positively affirm that these proceedings had no concern whatever with any political discontents.

4. B

GERMANY AND ITALY.-For a month past, nothing has been heard from this quarter but the note of preparation for war. Austria, displeased, and perhaps alarmed, at the recent events in Naples, has been pouring in troops into her Italian states, which at present maintain a threatening position on the frontier of the Neapolitan kingdom. At the same time, the great sovereigns on the continent, or their ministers, have been sitting in congress at Troppau in Austrian Silesia, where they assembled in the end of October. This congress consists of the Emperors of Austria and Russia, and the King of Prussia, in person, with the ambassadors of the Kings of France and Britain. We are told that, besides the affairs of Naples, other important matters occupy the deliberations of the sovereigns; and various rumours of what they have done, or intend to do, have been in circulation, but nothing official has yet been published. It is said that Austria wishes to take military possession of Naples, in order to force upon the people their old constitution, or at least some one more consonant to the views of the dictator. To this project it is stated Russia and Prussia agree, but Britain and France decline interfering. Among the other matters before the congress, it is asserted, in private letters, that the whole system up. on which Europe is to be ruled, and the peace of nations preserved, has been set. tled. Five grand protectorships, we are informed, are to be established, consisting of Austria, Russia, Prussia, France, and Great Britain; which powers are to take to themselves the titles of protectors to the minor states.

Nothing, however, we believe, is positively known, regarding the deliberations at Troppau. In the mean time, the most active preparations have been making in Naples to resist any attack upon its internal tranquillity; and the Duke of Campo Chiaro, Minister of Foreigh Affairs for the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, has addressed a long note to Prince Metternich, the Austrian Secretary of State, deprecating any interference of foreigners with the internal affairs of Naples, putting Austria in mind of the result of Buonaparte's meddling with Spain, and expressing the determination of the King and the whole nation to resist any attack. The general im`policy of one nation's interfering in the internal government of another, in cases where, like Naples, such a scrupulous regard is paid to the rights and institutions of other powers, that the request of Benevento and Ponte Corvo, belonging to the Pope, though situated within the Neapolitan territory, to be united to Naples, has been refused, is proved undeniably; but it is admitted at the same time, that there was a treaty concluded at Vienna in June

1815, between his Sicilian Majesty and Austria, which stipulated that, in order to secure the internal peace of Italy, and to preserve their states and respective subjects from fresh re-actions, and the danger of imprudent innovations which might be the forerunners of them, the King of the Two Sicilies, in re-establishing the government of the kingdom, shall not admit any changes irreconcileable either with the an cient monarchical institutions, or with the principles adopted by the Emperor of Austria for the interior government of his Italian provinces. The Neapolitan Minister contends, that this treaty has long expired; and it appears by the text, that it related rather to the re-establishment of the Bourbon family on the throne of Naples, than to subsequent changes which might be made in the constitution. The Neapolitan Government has sent the Duke of Canzano to Madrid to concert with the Spanish Government measures of mutual defence. It appears that Spain, Switzerland, and Holland, are the only powers that have yet acknowledged the revolution in Naples.

According to letters from Vienna, of the 5th instant, a singular communication had been received there from his Holiness the Pope, in reply to an offer of the Austrian Government to send troops into the Papal dominions for the purpose of repressing the ardent desire for a free constitution, which had been manifested by the subjects of his Holiness. The Pope's letter states that he is grateful for the protection offered him by Austria; but that he was so sensible of the spirit of the people, and of their unanimous wish on that subject, that he felt compelled to abandon the thought of placing a military control over them, and that he had himself, therefore, called together a conclave, for the purpose of preparing a free constitution to be submitted to his subjects. Other accounts state that the question of granting a representative constitution to the Papal States had been discussed by the ministers of the Pope, at Rome, and that the proposal had been lost by a majority of three.

Fire at Nova Scotia.-In our last number, we noticed the dreadful calamity which had spread desolation over the most fertile parts of this province. The following letter contains a simple but affecting representation of the awful scene; and if what this writer relates of the distress which happened to his family, and his immediate neighbours within his observation, be true, what must have been the general calamity!
