From the New-York Daily Advertiser.

There appears to be an extraordinary degree of uneasiness and turbulence of spirit in various parts of Europe at the present time. An unprecedented revolution has taken place in Spain within a short period, begun, apparently, almost by accident, and accomplished with scarcely a struggle.

In France, it is very evident, the government are alarmed with apprehensions of difficulty, whether well or ill founded does not appear.

In Great Britain much disturbance exists, growing, perhaps, partly from the excitement of a general election, but more from the machinations of their desperate spirits, commonly called "Radical Reformers."

In Scotland, the discontented appear to wear very nearly the aspect of insurgents. This is particularly the case among the Highlanders, and in the neighborhood of Glasgow.

In Ireland, disturbances still exist, and very atrocious violations of the peace are committed in various places. There, things have come to such a pass, as to call for strong military force to quell riots and excesses. Every species of violence is committed, blood has been shed, lives lost, and large portions of the country exhibit scenes of tumult and disorder, of alarm and dismay.

From what little we can discover, we should think the government of Great Britain would rather gain than lose strength by the late election. This was naturally to be expected, after the factious and treasonable conduct of such men as Hunt and Cobbett, of Preston and Thistlewood. The two former had the assurance to set themselves up as candidates for the House of Commons.—Hunt fell through in good season. Cobbett, who set up for Coventry, attempted to beg money enough from his partizans to purchase his way into Parliament, but without success; they were not to be gulled out of their cash. The consequence was, that they "put him into Coventry," and there left him.

What will grow out of the general discontent, spread over so large a surface of that quarter of the globe, we do not know. We should think that the experience they have so recently had of revolution, would keep them back from the madness of trying it again. But there are always, in every country, desperate men enough to run all risques, and to incur all responsibilities, for the possible chance of increasing their own power and emolument.

We think the following extract from the London Morning Chronicle of 28th Feb. gives an explanation of the present state of our relations with Spain. We do not recollect to have seen it published before in this country.
