The French Ambassador to the Coufederstion has made another attempt to resume the negocia signs on the Convention respecting the settlement of French subjects in Switzerland, and of Swiss sfrbjerts in France. This attempt will probably fail, because by previous arrangements between the Cantons, and by the Declaration of the presiding Canton, all the various points respecting which Swit zerland has to make a Convention with France are to he discussed at the same time, whereas the French Minister always wishes to commence negociations ou separate poirts; meantime the Cantons have been invited to give instructions to the Deputies with re spect to the desire of the French Ambassador. But it may be easily supposed that the Diet will repeat the Resolution taken in the last Session. It is however asserted, that some Cantons intend to enter into separate Conventions respecting the set tlement of the subjects of one State in the dotal- Mons of another, provided they can agree upon the basis of the Convention.—(Affuremberg Corres pondent, June 1.) - 7 - - • , 1 I • ADO drompol• .—A.-Tyormao, of Bristol, silk-martorr.J.

At a moment when all the Powers of the Nurth of Europe have formidable armies on foot, and which are even unproportioned to the population and their revenue, France has not an army which she eau sl:rw with confidence either to her friends or to her crieinies; it is even doubtful, whether it will be complete on the peace establishment by the end of the year. The only corps which have attained their tun complement are, the Royal Guard, the Swiss regiments, forming together a total of 10,000 men, and the legion of the Prince of finhenlolie, com posed of 2,400 men ; all the corps of the army, ar tillery, cavalry, ■nd infantry, are very far from being, on the footiug fixed by the ordinances. Siitcr the events of the mouth of August last, many officers who were in active service have been placed on half-pay, and a great number of sub alterns, the trim of whose service was expired, have asked their discharge. The levy of 40,000 men which is. now going on, is indeed to serve to fill up the regiments, but they are young soldiers, which it would take .mine time to form. In gene ral most of the old . soldiers seewatemed to make war in the Por`th irrideouth of Europe, cannot sc .. custom themselves to the state of repose which they enjoy; the military spirit which gave bitch to so many heroloc T ections ritAreidee but slowly. The rich ss4 , ,itstiogat, the military oleo:oration", the rapid promotions which took place when the army was decimated every year, all this exists no longer and cannot return. A garrison life appears dull to those old soldieni, who have been accustomed to traverse Europe, to treat with ell rigour of the right of conquest, end toenrich themselves at the expense of the unfortunate inhabitant'.

Intelligence from Smyrna states, that several in surrections, which are in connexion with the events in the Greek islands, have broken out against the Turks on the coasts of Asia-Miuor. Apprehen sions are entertained for several of the establish ments at Smyrna, since there have been, it is said, two revolts already, and some bloodshed in that city. Some disturbances have also taken plaice in the Island of Cyprus, which hitherto has been faithful to the Turkish Government. We are assured, that two officers of great ability direct the military ope rations of the Greeks in the Mores. According to a letter from Corfu, several English have entered the Greek ranks with enthusiasm. The junction of the Arnauta with the Greeks is confirmed ; the Pacha of the More., in consequence, loses the greatest part of his army. NUREMBERG, JUNE 3. (EXTEACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.)

By the schooner Harriet, Captain Murphy, arrived here yesterday, in eleven days from LA Guayra, and last from Cape Henry, we have been politely favoured with the following informatiorr relative to recent events at the Cape : " Another attempt had been made by the Blacks to throw off die yoke of Boyer—but this, like feu:- mer attempts, had proved unsuccessful, owing only to mismanagement, as a large majority of the people are evidently opposed to a Republican form of government. On the 11th April, General Magny, Commander at the Cape, having received isetimation that General Romaine had bribed the two regiments to which lie was attached, to assassi nate the President, who was hourly expected, or dered the a tof the above General Romaine. A guard only was put around his house, in conse quence of the two regiments forbidding their mak ing him a prisoner. On the 13th President Boyer arrived at the Cape-14th, ordered General Ro maine to be embarked for Port-an-Prince. His emb.irkation was too severs a trial for those soldiers who had been his companions for many years, and who had received many favours at his hands—se cordingly, same slay those two regiments revolted, demanding the res►oration of their General. Pre sident Boyer treated their demands with contempt. All the soldiery were called out, young and old, anticipating a bloody scene : business was suspend ed. Sonic white families embarked on board the shipping, and, finally, at night the revolters sur rendered, finding their force unequal, being only 600 strong against 9,000. Eleven officers, consist ing of Colonel+, Commandants, &c. bad been exe cuted; fifty more were under sentence of death. Affairs were by no means settled at the Cape ; busi ness was exceedingly (Inn ; money scarce ; pay worse ; p►uvisiova were the only articles that could be sold at the Cape. The repeated commotions had to alarmed the merchant., that they would only buy by small quantities. Connected with that, the politic proceedings of the President in drawing every dollar from the Treasury as fast as it was accumulated; all these things have a ten dency to injure the business of the Cape. General Romaine's character was that of a brave, generous officer, and said to be a good friend to the whites. It was said the President would not dare to kill him, as his influence is great at the north part of the island. On the 27th the President left the Cape. with 400 men, for Port Dolphin, to check some disturbances there." THE BRITI S FL PRES S. LON DON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13, 1821. In the Brussels Papers which were brought to town yesterday by the Flanders Mill, we find a singular article of intelligence from Lille respecting the condition and state of the French army with regard to its efficiency. " France," the writer complains, " has not an army which she cats thew with confidence, either to her friends or her ene mies. It is doubtful whether it will be complete on the peace establishment by the end of the year." Aud further, he remarks, that the only corps which have attained their full complement are the royal guard, the Swiss regiments, and the legion of Prince Hotter+ Lona, forming altogether about 12,400 men. if the picture given in the Brussels Paper of the Fiench army he correct, the Government of France will appear to act upon a system of policy very ferent from that which influences the Governments of Great Britain, Russia, Austria, mid Prussia. To uphold the military power seems to he a pri mary object with the Cabinets of these States re spectively, although according to their mutual p►o fcssious of friendvhip, no danger can he supposed to exist of foreign aggression. France was the first power its modern Europe that instituted a standing army, and the pernicious example has since been imitated by every other Stale, no mat ter. what may be its extent or capacity. The ne cesvity of guarding against invasions from England, gave CHARLES V II. sufficient pretence fur impoving suds a hoiden upon his country, hut as the pre. ' • 'sent Government of Frinee need no longer aPPre leend danger from abroad, it would displerits wis dom in a 'cry edvantsgrons light if it were, to re lieve the peOPle from the wasteful extreurklore € 4 'l mere military parade, by limiting the numbers of the army ,to .the met:millet of ipteynal guards and garrisons. , We do not, however, believe that France will otfer so wise an example to the rest of Europe, or that her army is at this Moment Moo inefficient a condition as the writer of the article from Lille represents it. Were the, funds voted by the Legislature for maintaining the army not ap plied to this purpose, the Deputies would not fail to complain of the ci;carnstatice, but as yet we have not seen in the reports of the debates, sny charges of this nature preferred against the lituo's Ministers. In the discussions upon the several chapters of the law of the budget, the Opposition Members in the Chamber of Deputies have shewn ,theintelsrs very active, and its no instance well 'thsposed to pass over the errors of their rivets. The state of the army will, in its turn, be exposed to : the view of the public, and then we shall be able to appreciate the value of the remarks Contained iu the article from Lille. The Brussels Papers contain some reference to the insurrection of the Christian Provinces of the Ottoman empire. It is stated that some of the Servians have taken arms against the Tu►ks, but that the latter hold posseasivii of the fortresses. We are further informed that the insurgent G,erks of the Mores were found by the Packs of that pro vince to have received considerable support and encouragement from the lonian Islands; that the Pacha threatened reprisals against the persons and properly of the English, wherever he might chance to meet with either; and that he transmitter! to Constantinople a circumstantial account of his dis covery and conduct. The Government of the lonian Wanda immediately issued strong injunc- boos to all the inhibit: nits of the islands to abstain from interfering in any manner in the affairs of the Continent. Should the Greeks unhappily foil in their attempt at independence, we hope that an asylum will not br refused in the lonian Islands to such of the inhabitants of the Continent as may find it neeeswary to retire from the dominions of the Turkish Government. The Paris Papers of Saturday last have arriv ed. The debate on the budget was resumed in the Chamber of Deputies on Friday. M. LABBCY DE POMPIERES moved a reduction of 750,000 francs iu•the sum proposed for the expenses of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Gen. For supported the amendment M speech, in which he censured the foreign policy pursued by Government. Ile com plained that no disposition had been shown to Cul. tivate a connexion with South America or St. Domingo, although with respect to the latter ill opportunity offered in the friendly feelings of Pre sident Box ER towards France ; that in the Mediter ranean, which was before the Revolution a French lake, the French are now nothing, and the English are all powerful; that no preparations have been made by Frarice to mail herself of the results of the present confusion in Turkey, while the English have sent a fleet of five ships of the line into the Mediter ranean, and reinforced the garrisons of the lonian Islands ; that foreign influence is become so power ful in France, it has hceu able to effect a change in the system of government ; that, iu the case of Italy, France took a subaltern position at the tail of the great Powers, instead of an independent position worthy of I.er ; that it did not belong to another Sovereign to regulate the police, and put things in order in Italy ; that Russia had no more right to descend into Italy, whatever might be the revolutions a Inch deranged it, thud Italy had a right to declare war against Russia, when re volutioos more or less sanguinary stained the Palace of St. Petersburgh. He concluded with stating that he considered the ',resent course of its foreign relations humiliating to France, and dangerous to its existence as a nation. M. BASQUIER replied. General SEBASTIAN! supported the arguments of General FOY, and complained particularly that Austria was become mistress of Italy. After a discussion of considerable length, the amendment was rejected. Another 'intendment was proposed and met a similar fate ; after which the first chap ter of the budget of foreign affairs was adopted. The Chamber then proceeded to the discussion of the second cliapto, in which M. BENJAMIN CON. STANT complaioed that prior to the revolution in Spain, the English and Rassian Ministers at the Court of Madrid insisted more than once upon some mitigation of the oppressive measures which brought about that event, but that the diplomatic agents of Franca did not exercise a like influence at that Court. He added, that France pursued the like course in the case of the Neapo litan revolution. The second chapter was then adopted, and the Chamber having made some progress in the third chapter, the debate was ad journed to the following day. The Five per Cent. Consols are 87 fr. 10 c.

We know n 9 vote of public money that has given more general satisfactio►t than that in favour of his Royal Highness the Duke of CLARIOICE. The original vote mid the arrears stand on the same foundation, and cannot be severed without involving the House in the most direct inconsistency. Any objection to the grant of the arrears betrays • spirit of opposition and not of economy. No man can plead economy as a motive for punishing his Royal Highness, because he was not too ready to take the public money, in a case too where the delay has been at tended with au actual loss to his Royal Highness of the i►►terest upon • sum of 6,0001. a year for three years, and consequently a gain to the public to that amount. The Gazette of List night contains the Procla mation, of which we gave a copy yestercloy, fixing the Coronation for the 19th of July. Places in prirate houses in the neighbourhood of Palace-yard, commanding a view of the hoe of the procession of the coronation, are now sought after with extraorditiery avidity. Various priers are de manded from ten to forty guineas per seat. These seats will be generally on scaffolding erected in front of the houses, the safsty and sufficiency of which will be inspected by the Board of Works. The proprietor of one house in Great Grorge-street ex pects to clear 7,0001. The landlord, in most cases, is entitled to divide the profits equally with the tenant. Yesterday the LORD CH•NEELLOR had an audieuce of his —MAJESTY. His Excellency Don Luis ONts, Minister from Spain to this Court, arrived in Loudon on Si utrday evening. Advice. from Chili, of the 48th Februa►y, have been received. The papers a►e chiefly filled with the official detail of the operations of SAN MARTIN itt Peru, which convey a high idea not only of the military tactics of that General, but of his skill in the more difficult art of negociation. His repre sentations appear to have induced the secession from the cause of Spain of all the principal ports on the Pacific, together with many of the towns sod dis tricts of the intetior ; thus drawing a cordon of in surrection on the land side of Lima, while the har bour of Callao is blockaded by Lord COCHRANE. As SAN MARTIN relies very confidently on a strong party even within the walls of the capital, his object is understood to be, not to make an attack to which his force is inadequate, but to wait patiently till the partisans of independence gain the ascendancy. Ilia system of forbearance has led him also, in his ad vance on Limit, to hazard engagements as little as possible ; but whenever compelled to fight, his troops have generally been successful. The late Viceroy, PEZUELA, appears to have made several attempts at negociatiou; b u t SAN MARTIN tefustd to listen to ally of them. The English vessels captured by Lord Coot. RANE, on the ground that they had Spanish propel ty on board, have all arrived at Valparaiso for adjudi cation. The Cuptein of the Edioa►d Ellice. in a letter to his owners from that port, inculpates with much severity the condor t of Lord COCHRANE. who, he contetels, used the most unfair means t o prevent his communication with the Captain of the British frigate Andromache, then et Cellar+, to ob tain interference on his behalf. He considers his Lordship's intent iostio have been to detain hint with the Lord Swjlield and the Indian, till Limit should surrender, fur adjudication there. The instant the Commander of the Andromache heard of the cir cumstance, however, he insisted on their being sent to Valparaiso. It is believed that the cargoes will he condemned, but that the vessels will be released. Two French ships of war, the Colosse, 74, and the Galatea frigate, arrived eff Lima the beginning of February, and proceeded • few data alter to the port of Huambo.
