LATEST FROM NUaoea.
LONDON, March 6.-The Paris papers OF
"Wednesday arrived yesterday. In the
Etollc 1t is stated, from the Augsburg GA
zette, that II change has been made in the


Turkish Ministry. The difficulties of the
Ottoman Government multiply daily, and
the weight OF its oppression ren lers it intol-
erable to all It's wretchcd subjects. There
is every symptom of an insnrrrction at Con.
stantinopie: and, rs ifpushed onwirds blind
ly by fate, the Divan are embroiling them
selves with the Russian Minister. Yet this
is the Power which VIC are told is making
preparations to subdue the Greeks"
According to these papers, the troubles
of Ferdinand VII. are only beginning. On
the one hand we hear that the high Allies
have formally declined to interfere in his
quarrel with the transatlantic States and
on the other, that the Island Of Cuba has
rcnolnced his authority, and joined itself to
Mexico We suspect however, that the
latter fact is asserted somewhat premature
ly:--that it will ultimately occur there can
be no doubt.


We have received Dutch papers to the Cd
inst. They are filled with distressing &C
counts of the injury caused by the late fools,
and OF the alacrity with which the wealthy
classes of society have subscribed for the
relief of the sufferers. 1t is stated that in
the province OF Overyessel $50 persons lost
their lives, that 1000 oxen were drowned,
and that upon a surface OF 10000 acres of
land which were overhown, 1900 houses
fell in.


Considerable sensation was produced in
the city yesterday by accounts from Dover
and Boulogne, stating that on Wednesday
the authorities at Boulogne and Calais rcceiv-
cd IN order from the French So, ernment to
open the dispatches of all commercial cour-
iers sent from England; and that i'll conse-
qucnce, several expresses were detained
three or four hours One of them had in
the bag forty letters, al of which were OPEN
cd and read.


In the House of Commons, on the fourth
of March, the army estimates were brought
forward by Lord Palmerston, who stated
that "t,lc increase on the whole military
establishment amounted to $500 men, and
the increase of eXpcncc to yg528,000. He
yindicated the addition made to the army, by
pointing out the necessity which existed for
giving their colonies, in all quarters Of the
globe, efficient protection. On the score of
humanity, too. he showed The increase was
called for, to ensure the relief, at the proper
period, Of regiments employed on foreign
service. The propriety of taking measures
with that view he forcibly impressed on the
House, by stating the course which it had
5eea found necessary to pursue, on the !
breaking out of the Burmese war in India, |
when 5000 additional men being required, |
FIVE regiments, who were about to embark |
for England, after 90 years. service, were
ordered to remain. The estimates encoun-
tered no opposition worth mentioning (that (
Of Mr.. Hutchinson cxcepted;l but several |
concurring in the proposed vote,
gave, as their reason for doing so, the pre-
sent situation of the country with respect to |
foreign powers. This situation, as they
contendcd justified the increase. We how
ever, (slys the Courer) can discern nothing
in tine explanations Of Lord Pamerstoa, to
cnrroborlte the very insignificant hints |
thrown out on this occasion. His Iordship |
certainly said, ali augmentation in the army /
vas not rendered necessary by the state of
E4S land or OF ireland, but il is not, therefore,
" be i!.ferred that the step was decided |
upon IN consequence of any indication of
Foreign hostility


Letters from Barcelona of the 10th Feb |
ruary, received in London on the 2l,t, state;
that Ferdinand has published a decree,
ordering the merch lnts of Barcelona, who
are making out claims for injuries done to
Spanish Commerce BY the vessels of the u
nitcd states, to include in those claims all
injury sustained from South American
privatccrs which coll! be proved to have i
sailed from the ports oil the United States
The appearance Of this decree has caused [
great sensation in Barcelona, it being feared
that such extravagant pretcntions may ter
nitrate in hostilties with America, which /
'yai!d a once destroy all tho little trade now
or by Spanish merchants
