From the Commercial Advertiser.
Intelligence was received in Loudon, on
tile 6th June from almost every part of the
‘ontinent of Europe. It supplied the usu
al quantity of contradictory rumors reia
tive to
RUSSIA AMD TURKEY,
which leaves us as much in the kark as e
ver as to the ulierior designs of these rival
powers The latest accounte from St. P -
tersbiifghy are of the 15 h M-y, at v.hicii
period M de Tattich-. B had been a fort
night in the Russian capital, without aay
appearance of a change in the state of re
latione with the Sublime Porte ; although
n belief was said to be eotertatoed in favor
of,a Cttutiuuati aof peace. A letter from
Ode'-s* of foeTT. May, states *• that there
seems no probability, since toe mission ot
M de Taltuchieff, of a war with the
Turks.” Similar expectation’ are held out
in accounts from the same quarter of the
10th of tins month, and toe exchanges are
stated to have improved foui pr. cent in
consequence.
So much for the pacific side of the ‘ques
tion. As to the prospect of war, the iaiest
French papers confidently assert that no
doubt can possibiy je entertained on tile
subject. It appears pretty certain, and is
[said not tonefdeiiied y those who preseris?
in the belief of peace, that the Ru-iai>
troops had actually matched into Moldai

tion of that province was only temporary,
md would be held as a pledge ot the pact
"Sc intentions of Turkey. In reply, It is
remarked, that the conent of Austria not
having been obtained, it would be difficult
for the Porte to consider such provisional
occupation in any other light than an act
of hostility. Between these contradictory

of the Chambers on the 4tii Jane, by a

and Russia, he merely expresses a hone,
that tranquility may be preserved. VVith
regard to France, the speech uesentt us
with a most favorable picture of iig contin
ued prosperity ; although great care see o*
to iiave been taken to discourage all idea
of the exis ance of dissatisfaction with the
government ..ftlie reigning family.
liie french pane s continue extremely
guarded as to the s'ate of the public mind,
which, h-wever, is represented in private
letters, as. extremely feverish with respect
to the B trbons. V fracas is stated to
have taken place at Lyons, on the 10th of

at ait election leturn, by a few individuals

SPAIN.
The advices from Madrid, through the
Trench papers, are to the 124th May. The
project of an addressto the King of Spain
on die state of the nation, was adapted in
an extraordinary sitting of the Cortes held
on that day. A report of the committee
of finance on the Mari e Budget, was read
in the sitting of the 20th. it recommends
a navy “compatible with he mercarrile
mari-e, and thfe iesources of tlie"country.”
Twenty seven vessels of all classes, in
cluding 5 ships of the line, and 4 f igates,
is the whole marine force proposed, it may
be faniy inferred from this limited navy,
that the Cortes are no’ very ambitious of
reconquering the former trausatlaoc p'-ss
essionvof Spain. A treaty with Portugal
is stated to have been signed by Ferdioa and,
according to w ncti the former is (o furnish
. noops to Spain in the case of need. The
CnmiUundant General of the Cadiz had
communicated to the Consulate at that
place, the contents of a private letter, re

Foe Gouduu Courier of the oth of June,
says, • We nave received information from

t ne dales of the letters are to the 20th ult.
li seems that the Portuguese Government
is in much apprehension ;est the Provinces
of the Brazils, like the Provinces of Boutb-
Ameuca, should attempt shortly to throw
off the yoke of tne mother Couutry, if fresh
reinforcements Were not sent out from
Portugal to keep the people in sbjection.—
foe present advices mention that it has
been determined 10 transport to Rio Janei
ro 4000 troops, who will act in concert with
Uie toices of B itua. At tile former port it
wiil be recollected, serious commotions 01.
curred m consequence of the presence of
he Portuguese troops which were not put
a stop toun and they were reshipped for Lis
bon. In order that the puolic feeing
should be excited as little as possible in the
Brazils,the Government have ordered such
Regiments to hold themselves in readiness
11 take their departure, as have resided in
Portugal some years.
File Deputies who have arrived at Lis
bon some time since, we understand, one
ud all, protested against the armament
contemplated* which they have declaed tor
be nothing less than a declaration of war
on the part ot the King of Portugal.—a
Some of the last advices from Rio Janeiro
stated, in reference to (he sailing of the
troops for Lisbon, that they would be the
last Kuropearr troops,which would ever ap
pear in that city—and that although it was
true several thousand men yet remained in
some of the Provinces oft e Brazils yet
the time was fast approaching when they
would be completely free of them.
The following article on the subject of
differences with Russia, is copied from
the Liverpool Mercury, of Hie 31st May.
Russia and the United States. —The
Autocrat of Russia, the magnanimous Al
exander, do content with his own immense
terrtto res in Europe, has put in his claims
to the northwest coast of America, from
the pole, if it extend so far, down to the
fifty first degree of latitude. His royal
ambition is not content with this manorifo
usurpation of upwards of two thousand
miles—and t e accordingly extends his im
perial surveillance over a.l theses betw-en
the coasts of Asia and America. This sea
is about f nr thousand miles b r osd; and no
vesgei, except R‘hsian, must p'esumeto
approach nea er lo the coast tho one bun
dled Italian mi'es.
This is a subject to which it. is probable
we shall have frequent occasion to reverr;
as the wholesale claims of the northern
dt-spot, if persisted in, must necessarily
i lead to marati.ne war; in which e’ cnt, Ku
rland can scarcely remain a passive spec
tator; and the million bayonets of Alexan
der will avail little in a contest with the
well-armed navy of the United States. In
■ anfother part of our paper, we have given a
brief view of the correspondence between
the Russian ambassador and Mr,-Adamrc—
for the present, our limits will not allow us
to enlarge upon the subject further than to
observe, >hat thr question of war and peace
will entirely depend u on the will and in
terest of Russia, without any rcga>d to the
honesty of the measure; as such common
place considerations are beneath the no
tice of so distingeished a member of the!

The American ship Pocahontas, arrived at
[ Havana on the 9ih mst. in 18 days froth Vera
Cruz, with advices to themiddle of June It ap-!
pears by the extracts published from the Mexi- j
can Gazettes, tha* great preparations were mak
ing for the coronation of the Emperor Itcr
bidb, which was to take place on the 24th of
that month, and the expenses for which are re
presented a,, enormous. Those for the palace
are estimated at g 516,000; 86,U00forihe Impe
riai Crown; 24,000 for four Coaches; Decora
tions of the Palace, 85,000; and 350,000 for the
interior, iltc. Sec. The Cortas had authorised
the Emperor to raise this amount in any way he j
may think adviseable; but an apprehension is i
expressed that the procedure may be attended !
with some trouble if not hazard. The Empe
ror’s party is represented to be declining in
strength, and is said to be principally composed
of soldiers, who are paid for their cries of
“Long live the Emperor.” Some of the Depu- i
ties ot the Cortes have withdrawn themselves j
from that body, particularly those from Yucatan, j
■assigning as a reason th lt they *,. ; ;IVM

Sir James .Mackintosh, submitted a mo
tion last night, which pledged Parliament
in the ensuing session, to a consideration,
ot our criminal codA, with a view to ita
melioration. This motion tvns carried, by
a majority of 16; a circumstance at which
“e certainly rejoice, because inquiry must
do good. Ihe anotn tlly which at present
exists between the theory and practice of
our criminal jurisprudence, is a reproach
upon the nation.
We have received the Paris Papers of
Sunday last. The Constitutional does nut
attempt to guarantee the authority of its
Russian Manifesto, and the other Journals
shew it no mercy for the fabrican. It was
certainly as useless a forgery as eier was
committed, for its promulgat’on was accom
panied with such a neutralizing confusion,-,
that it was hardly possible it should have
made a single dupe, If it was intended
as a pleasantry, we can only say it was a
very dull one.— Courier,

There are accounts of the 23d from
Spain, which coniin only uninteresting
details of the dispersion of the factious
bands. Misas, the chief leader, fled across
the frontier, and was received with a rigid
observance of neutrality, by the Frenh Au
tho ities, causing the arms of him and m
band to be burned in sight ot the Constitu
tional, Spanish Troops, with-the other for
malities ol quarantine.— lndia.
