[From the Baltimore Fed. Gazette, April 23.]
THE EMPEROR ALEXANDER.-SOUTH AMERICA & THE GREEKS.
There has been for some time sufficient reason to suppose, that the Emperor of Russia is particularly displeased at the recognition of South American Independence by Great Britain. The annexed communication is extracted from a letter written by a gentleman now in the north of Europe, who has many opportunities of collecting correct intelligence. It is under date February 27.
"It is said-that the Czar, our great conterminous despot, has shown more humor on the occasion of the British recognition of South America, than any other member of the Holy League, of which he is the puissant head; and it is believed that his irritation will be apt to make itself seen, in the arrangement of the affairs of Greece which will be soon taken in hand at Petersburg, and which the Emperor seems determined to settle in his own way, without respect to, or consultation with England. If England find fault with his way, why then his irritation may make itself felt. These are the speculations at present on the great question and its result, which has so much interested and agitated mankind--the question of South American Independence."
