EUROPE.

FRANCE. The numerous petitions presented to the Chamber of Deputies in Paris against the projected alteration of the election law, having been referred to a committee, their report came under discussion in the Chamber on the 15th January. The recommendation of the committee was, that the Chamber should pass to the order of the day, that is to say, that the petitions should be rejected. On this motion, a vehement debate arose, which was continued by adjournment till next day, when a division took place, and the ministers found themselves with a majority of five, 117 voting for the order of the day, and 112 for receivin gthe petitions. The full number of the Chamber is 258, so that such a small majority out of such a numerous attendance is regarded by the French Ministry as a defeat, and it is expected that they will either resign their places or abandon their project for altering the election laws, seeing that when they are found so weak upon a preliminary point, they can have little chance of carrying the main question.

On the 22d January, the French Minister of Finance opened his budget in the Chamber of Deputies; and in doing this, he stated, that the total amount of supplies required for 1820 was 739,700,000 francs, being, as he contended, only an increase over that of last year of 3,900,000 francs, which would be provided for by the arrears of rentes, re-established to the credit of the Treasury by the retrocession of foreigners. A project of law was then read, fixing the expences of the consolidated and funded debt for the year 1820 at 228,341,000 francs, and that credits should be opened to the amount of 511,371,550 francs, to defray the general expences of the service of 1820. The project was referred to a committee.

Marshal Soult, it appears, since his return to France, has been introduced to his Majesty, who delivered to him the baton of Marshal of France, when he took the customary oaths.

SPAIN. Another mutiny has broke out among the Spanish troops in the neighbourhood of Cadiz, which has been by some accounts magnified into a formidable insurrection against the constitution and government. But it does not appear that any overt act of rebellion has taken place, excepting among the troops, destined to act against the South American independents, to which service the Spanish soldiers have

more than once expressed their dislike. It appears that the mutiny in question broke out on the 1st of January, and that the first step of the mutineers was to secure the person of Calderon, the Commander in Chief. On the 2d, a large body of them marched to Port St Mary's, of which they took quiet possession: they afterwards proceeded to the island of Leon, and, by a bold manœuvre, succeeded in taking Cisneros, the Minister of Marine, into custody. Of the strength of the mutineers nothing certain appears to be known out of Spain. It has been variously stated at from 8000 to 24,000 men. Intelligence from Cadiz, however, seems to prove, that, up to that date, they possessed the isle of Leon, and the marine magazine at Caracca, and continued to keep the city of Cadiz in a state of alarm and danger; nor had any effectual measures been taken by the government to oppose them.

GERMANY.-Towards the latter end of January, the inundation of the Rhine and other lesser rivers, in consequence of the thaw, caused in many places of Germany, and the Netherlands, distress and desolation almost unparalleled. Letters from Guelderland in Holland say,-" Our towns even are in some parts several feet under water, and often it is impossible to bake bread. The finest fields and meadows are covered in some parts with hills of sand. A great number of cattle are already drowned; and for those that are saved no food is to be found. Several people, especially children, have found a watery grave; a number of houses are seen floating among the fields of ice, and in every quarter inevitable destruction seems to threaten us. This part of Guelderland, (the lower Betuwe,) otherwise so beautiful a part of our country, is one universal ruin.

"From Pannenden, above Nimeguen, near the Prussian territory, to the village of Krimpin, (within six miles south-east of Rotterdam,) the whole country bordering on and between the principal rivers of the Rhine, Yssel, Maese, Whaal, and Lek, is inundated. Night and day, the roaring of cannon, the alarm bells, and signals of distress succeed each other, and new ruptures of the dikes are at this moment announced.

"It is impossible to form an idea of our sufferings without being an eye witness to them. The crops on the ground are all spoiled, and all the hopes of the farmers are vanished. The distress of those that

are saved is so great, and the calamity so general, that, unless those who are spared by Providence from this dreadful scourge afford us aid, many must perish for want. From the walls and steeples of our cities and churches there is nothing visible but a sea, partly covered with fields of ice, one of which, (at this moment,) of several hundred acres, threatens the destruction of a whole village. All the villages inside of the dikes, in the lower Betuwe, are now under water. At the moment of the breaking through of the dikes, between the Maese and Whaal, the water rushed in like a sea: in a moment the inhabitants were obliged to retire to the upper parts of their houses; but soon the water even reached that refuge, and they were forced to fly on the roofs; but, alas! this was no safety, for many were washed away from thence to rise no more; castles, churches, and houses were swept away by the united force of the ice and water. The inhabitants of the few houses which resisted the force of the element are exposed to all the horrors of hunger and cold in this trying season."

ASIA.

TURKEY.-An article from Vienna of the 27th December states, that, according to the last letters from Constantinople, serious disturbances had broken out in several parts of Asiatic Turkey; two Pachas had been obliged to retire from their Governments, and the rebels were in possession of several towns. It is added, that the Schah of Persia is supposed to know something of the origin of these disturbances, he being suspected of a design to obtain possession of Syria, and the adjacent provinces.

AFRICA.

Letters from Tripoli, dated the 11th November, announce, that the pacific system adopted by that Regency is producing the happiest effects. Its commerce and navigation are flourishing. No corsair has issued from the ports of Tripoli since the first of July 1818; and the Dey has solicited the mediation of England, to make his peace with all the Christian powers. He offers to engage never more to molest any foreign flag.

AMERICA.

UNITED STATES.-New York papers to the 26th December contain the proceedings of the two Houses to the 21st. On the 8th a resolution passed both Houses, for the admission of the State of Alabama into the Union, on an equal footing with the original States. On the 15th ult. the House of Representatives unanimously agreed to a resolution proposed by Mr Taylor of New York, "that a Committee be appointed to inquire into the expediency of prohibiting by law the introduction of

slaves into the territories of the United States, west of the Mississippi." It was subsequently agreed, that the consideration of the bill authorizing a convention of the people of Missouri, for the purpose of forming a constitution and state government, should be postponed to the second Monday in January. The Lower House of the Pennsylvanian Legislature has instructed the senators and representatives in Congress for that state to oppose the introduction of slavery into any of the new states about to be formed. The American Government is occupied in realizing the project authorized by an act of last session, of forming an establishment on the coast of Africa, for the reception of slaves taken in American vessels violating the laws of the United States. Numerous petitions had been presented to Congress from the northern parts of the Union, for additional protection to domestic manufactures, and for the enactment of a general system of bankrupt laws. The district of Main, which has separated itself from the state of Massachusets, has applied to Congress to be admitted into the Union as an independent

state.

BRITISH AMERICA.-Canadian gazettes have been received to the 1st of December. A new town, to be called Hochelæga, was building on the banks of the St Lawrence, which attracted much attention. It was understood, that vessels of almost any burden would be able to anchor be fore it; and being also contiguous to Montreal, it was conjectured, that in a few years it would become a place of much importance. The appointment of a person by Government to settle the disputes between the two great Fur Companies of Canada had tended, in a great measure, to allay the spirit of hostility which had so long prevailed between them; and no doubt was entertained that the privileges of cach party would by this means be clearly ascertained.

SPANISH AMERICA.-Advices have been received from Angustora to the 26th of October, from Curacoa to the 13th of November, and Trinidad to the 16th of the latter month. They fully confirm advices previously received of the capture of the fortress of San Fernando d'Apure by the Patriots, with the additional information of the whole of the Royalist flotilla in the Apure having fallen into the hands of Commodore Diaz.

The Spanish Patriots under Bolivar are going on very successfully in New Grenada; the General had joined Paez, on the river Apure, and their united forces amounted to 5000 men. In this position they were waiting to be joined by the British troops from Margaretta and Maturin, whose arrival would be followed by the prosecution of a plan formed by the President, of
