Turkey . An article from Constantinople ^ in the Hamburgh papers , details officially the victory over the JVeckabites , or Mahometan Reformers , by Ibrahim Pacha * The chief of the sect , Abdalla Ben Sund , was " taken
alive , and was on his way to Constantinople in chains— an ample indemnity , " it is coolly observed , " for the heads of the Hospodar of Wallachia , which has escaped the iron spikes at the gate of the seraglio . " One head is as good as another , no doubt , to the admirers of such exhibitions .
Dec . 15 . The Pacha of Diarbech has sent to Constantinople a circumstantial report of his expedition against the rebels of Mar din . This report has been accompanied hy a thousand heads , severed from the vanquished . These sanguinary trophies have been exposed as usual , at the
gate of the Seraglio , The Tartar who brought them has obtained a pelisse of honour ; presents have also been sent to the Pacha . s The Chief of the Weahahite * , Abdallah , and his fman , were brought prisoners , on vox ,, xivy t

Prussia . Population . —^ A statistical estimate has been published of the population of this ooautry , with its incidental * topics , from which it appears that the number of inhabitants was , in 1817 , above 10 , | 00 , 000 ,
making -2 , 106 to each square leag'ue of territory . The males between 15 and 60 years of-age , were 3 , 0-28 , 448 . Of 464 , 191 newly-born' infants , 38 , 585 were illegitimate . The mortality for 1817 was 2 in 69 , that is , on 33 men and 36 women . A ninth of the accidental deaths is attributed
to parents neglecting * vaccine inoculationtwo-ninths to suicide , or drowning by individuals bathing in the rivers . Suicide is more frequent in Prussia than in England . A late publication of Mr . Kamptz , of Berlin , founded oo official returns , proves this fact . The population of Berlin is 166 , 584 , and the suicides in that town in 1817 were 57 . Potsdam contains ( military not included ) 115 , 426 souls , and the suicides there in 1817 amounted to 77 . Another statement is scarcely credible : it is , that of 3 , 500 inhabitants , which Reicheiibacli contained in that year , 56 ( or about 1 in 60 ) were suicides !

Spain . Maria Isabella Frances , the Queen of Spain , died December 26 , in childbirth . She was born at Lisbon May 19 , 1797 , the daughter of John IV . King- of Portugal , and of Charlotte Joachim de .
Bourbon , Infanta of Spain , sister of King Ferdinand VII . She was consequently niece to Ferdinand , to whom she was married . After her deatVi , the Caesarian operation was performed . The child , a daughter or Infanta , was baptized , and died in a * few minutes .
On the 4 th of January also , died at Rome the Eoc-queen of Spain , Maria Theresa of Parma , wife of Charles IV . and mother of Ferdinand VII . 67 years of age . % Sba became a wife while not 14 years old , and was married for 10 years before her eldest child , the present Queen of Portugal , was born .
On the night of the 20 th , or morning of the 21 st of January likewise , died at Rome , ( some Journals say Naples , } Charles IV . of Spain , father of the present , king * . His death took place sixteen days after that of the queen , his consort , after an illness of only twenty-four hours .
These successive sudden deaths , together with that of one of the maids of honour of the late Queen , have given birth to suspicions not altogether creditable to Ferdinand and his priests . The Spanish patriot were looking- to th « old kitig , Charles IF . for succour , at the time of his decease .
An unsuccessful rising * in Valencia has been followed by the natural consequence , in Spain , of scaffolds streaming with blood . The external and internal state of Spain is equally wretched . Abroad , the colonies are one after another setting- up the standard of nevolt , and the " forces that are to quell them , so long and loadly talked of , are mustered only utioti paper : at home ,
