BAiromee, Jut.Y 31.—At the present moment, when reports are circulated of a war between France • and Spain, it will not be uninteresting to give a view of the military preparations which may have given occasion to these rumours. We have no positive data of the costive force of the French corcbm from Toulouse to Perpignaskimf it appears from the information we can collect, that it may be estimated at 20,000 men, of which 3,000 are cavalry, and three brigades of eight pieces of cannon each, which arc not even all organised. As for the troops posted on the frontiers, from Toulouse to Bayonne, we may take them at 10 or 12,000, and affirm, that on this side the number is hardly sufficient for the sanatory cordon, supposing that to be the real olject, there being points where 300 Spaniards might easily enter. The journals have exaggerated the military pre parations which they state to be making at Bayonne. At present we see no indication of the increase of the garrison, which is 1,000 foot, 300 artillery on fhot, 100 on horseback, and GO of the train. These 460 men of the corps of artillery have been only a month, and brought no cannon ; but within this week 24 field-pieces have arrived, and u larg e quan lay of military stores. Horses are expected , to or ganize, it is said, two field brigades. The workmen in the arsenal are extremely busy in preparing car tridges, &c. which seems to indicate seine expedition more serious than the cordon, and the more so, as the fever has not appeared again in any part of Spain. Nothing is doing tier the defence of the place, though they talk of repairiAg the outworks, which are much damaged, but nothing is dune. Pretty considerable contracts for provisions and forage have been concluded. Workmen are busily employed in making 6,000 uniforms and other things for the division of the Army of the Faith under Quesada, who has lately received, by contraband, a great number of muskets, ammunition, and four field-pieces. This General is certainly protected, though it cannot be said by whom. On the other hand, it is a fact that the French douaniers are very vigilant to prevent the passage of all kinds of arms and ammunition to the Peninsula, and that only the day before yesterday they seized 50,000 cartridges and 100 muskets. This fact is an answer to the imputations of the Spanish Govern ment, respecting the protection and succour which it says the defenders of the faith have received in France. These people have certainly been protected by a secret hand, for everybody knows that Quesada prepared his expedition on the French territory.— Yesterday, the 30th, there were despatched from this city 100 bales for the Army of the Faith, con titining military effects, and chiefly unifinans. Lopez Banos arrived at Madrid on the 29th, and Gen. Equinosa, who succeeds him, entered Vittoria on the 30th. The Deputy Calatrava, who is ap pointed Minister of the Interior, has left Bilboa for Madrid, with an escort of 100 men. Lopez Banos Las at length accepted the ministry, and the Deputy Sandio succeeds Martinez de hi Rasa as Minister of State. Thus there are now three Ministers of the popular party. The latest accounts respecting Quesada are con tradictory, but the result seems to be, that he main tains his position in the mountains, and keeps on the 4.3eitaisive, making excursions into the plain, which harass the constitutional troops. The post from kiarcehma has not arrived this fortnight. VIENNA, JULY 27.—Letters received from Jassy last week already inform us that the entire evacua tion of Moldavia by the troops of the Sultan was to take place in a week. Later recounts, of the 12th and 13th of this month fully confirm this intelli gence. The Janissaries featly left Jassy on the lath of July, at seven o'clock in the morning, and corametwed their march back to the Danube. Kat t.cliuk Ahmed Pacha had taken such vigorous mea sures of precaution, that no disturbance occurred on this otcasion. The Commander-in-Chief semis out parties to pick tip the st nigglers, who are innuediatey bound, and sent after the main body. Unomanasr, Jui.r 6.—The Ina-mils have pub lished the jlonjoudi, or order for the evacuation of the principalities issued by order of the Porte by the l'acha of Silistria, as Seraskier, or Commander-in t iticf of the Ttakisli troops in Moldavia and Wala- MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 1822. chits, to liadschi Ahmed Pacha, his Kiaja (or deputy) at Bucharest, as commander of the corps in Wala chia. The order issued from Silistria to t;te Kiaja in Jassy was of the same terms. The Hutti Seherif (or Supreme Command), sent from Constantinople to the Pacha of Silistria, with the kultan's own cipher affixed, and which has never before been pub lished, is as follows: .• lIATTI SCHEMA,' TO THL PACIIA Or SILISTRIA. " Thou who art among the valiant of the Empire, hear what follows, a nd do accordingly, for it is my supreme will. Know that thy report on the state of the two principalitio which are committed to thy care has found approval befne my thrbne, and induced me to order what follows .—The people front Anatolia, who have voluntarily crossed the sea, and carried their arms into Rumelia, to co—operate in destroying the plots of the refl.:Mous Rajas, with the hel of the great Prophet, (his name be praised io all eternity 1) sha ll break up and return to the Danube. You will take rate that they perform their march in due order, in single detachments ; and to this end, order your Kiajas to send Mehmandets with them, that they may be supplied with provi sions on the way, and that when they reach the Danube, they may fiat! every thing ready, for their reception in Bulgaria. My brave Janissaries, and equally brave Spahis, Suporagi, Cossacks, and Tartars, will suffice to maintain tranquillity, and to fill the disturbers of peace with terror. Thy care shall go yet farther. Know that thou must be answerable that the troops remaining in the principalities do not oppress the psaceable Rajas, and do not burden the poor. " The Kiajas must be responsible to thce for it, and thou shalt take care with inexorab:e rigour, that no excise, by whomsoever committed, goes unpunished. AU this is to be enjoined to the Baschis and Agas as my supreme will. Every commar,der must answer for those under him. For this purpose this Hatti Scherif ta addressed to thee.". Copies of this supreme order were communicated by the Reis Effendi to the diplomatic body of l'erez. AVOSSURCUIi, JULY 2Q.—Accounts from Misso longhi, which however require confirmation, mention the taking of Patras. Toe to the number of 10 or 12,000 men, had inveska it since the mid dle of May. Colocotroni, their commander, seeing that the fortress, which was well provided wiih ar tillery, could not be taken by force, had recourse to stratagem. Ile tempted the Turks to frequent sal lies, in which the Greeks always retired; so that the Turks grew bolder. At length he caused a feigned attack to be made by the greater part of his army, on which the Turks sallied out, and were drawn by the Greeks, who feigned a retreat, to a great distance from the fortress,in which Colocotroni with 2,000 men, who had lain in ambush, made a sudden attack on the fortress, and surprised it. The flying Greeks then turned and drove the Turks back to the fortress, which they found already occupied by Colocotroni, so that they had nothing left but to abandon it, and to embark for Lepanto.

A respectable man, with something more than 370 dollars of paper money in his pocket, a part of which he had just received in town, in some way, while engaged in business at the place mentioned, dropped his pocket-book, or at any rate parted with it from his pocket. Presently a cartman hslloed to him, and asked him if he had not lost his pocket-book ? Pt.:6llg his hand to his side, he instantly discovered that he had. " Well," said the cartman, " I saw that negro fellow going along yowler, pick one up." The black fellow passed deliberately on his way till the gentleman overtook him, as ke walked along, deliberately overhauled the pocket-book, and finding, as he says, only nine cents in money, coolly threw it down. There appeared scarce a possibility that ha could have disposed of the money undetected The adroitness of the villany lay with the outman. who, seeing the pocket-book fall, opened, rifkl, and threw it down again, and then watching the next passer. gm- who he concluded would very probably pick it up, handsomely turned off the guilt from his own shoulders ; besides, the carman immediately made col, and is not known. Letters from Bilboa of the °S:11 say, that the greatest disord.r reigns in that city. A lolot against the new system had been di,covered, in consequence of which many persons were ;wrested: attioag these arc the ex• Minister Lart'.izalral, the postmas:a, the son of Egoia, two priests, and many other 4.
