Pepe. • here on the 16th, and was well received by the pa triots. There are many conjectures respecting his return, which is said to be occasioned by the change in our ministers. It is said that it is in agitation to form three Neapolitan Legions, which will be sent by sea to Calabria; but sensible people ask "where are the soldiers, unless they should be formed of Spa niaxls and then a Decree of the Cortes would be required." The Neapolitan and Piedmontese com panies in Catalonia are composed only of 150 men freeborn, one - kind are Spaniards. Others pretend that Gen. Pepe will have a command in Catalonia; but this too would be against the constitution, which doclares that no foreigner can have a chief command in the national army. At all events, his return is supposed to have some political olsject. The proceedings of the Provisional Government at Urge!, the Congress at Verona, and the prepara tions making,in the French fortresses on the Pyren-• aces, excite great attention ; the fears of a foreign' invasion increase so much, that in political meetings we already hear of people speak of plans of defence, of alliance with Portugal, and eveq r with England, to which all kinds of concessions would be made. It seems, in fact, more than probable, that the treaty with Portugal will soon be oonclndcd; and, on the other hand, vary great hopes are built on the aid of Qreat Britain ha ease .of foraign invasiest. The trifling war carried on against the factious has presented reinarkabl e e l . The Italian re fugees continue, however, to pay the debt of grati tude for the hospitality allOrded them. Gen.

Sixty men belonging to the bands of Vsunga and Zabala arrived yesterday in the port of Salem, in France, flying fion; their own country, on board of three boats, which they run ashore on the coast. The constitutional troops occupy at this time the whole coast of Fontana's& to Bilboa, so that will not be easy for the factions to mope. The 4Gt men who came to the Lasatetto, having belonged to these same bands, after haring staid two days at Bayonne, left it to go to Irma, is order to take up arms again.

The settlement of Clarkson, on Tamara Island, the inhabitants of which are plincipally discharged soldiers, is its 3 most flourishilig state, and fully keeps pace with those of the Peninsula. The plan of the toms lots and streets are strictly . adhered to, and the extent of cleared ground in tile vicinity now for crop, favourably attests the industry of the inhabitants ; altogether the picture of content and domestic comfort exlithited by these old soldiers in their cottages. was most gratifying to his Excellency, who distributed amongst them a number of coffee plants, for the extensive culti vation of which the more elevated grounds on Tamara appeared admirably adapted. His Excellency also vi sited the island of Factory, where it was found that the encouragement given the natives there in the extrusion of their rice plantations has been attended with the best effects; a very considerable portion of that island is espe. dally suited lot the production of that article, which is so advantageous to the cultivators, and at the sante time so important to this colony, whether for exportation or home consumption. The increase of population in the different islands, since the period they were taken posses sion of by his Excellency, must he considerable, settlers daily arriving from the main land, who g adly exchauge the savage and capricious rule of their native chiefs, for the Protection and advantage enjoyed und e r the Britian flag.
