The French , Chamber of Peers, at its meeting on Thursday, nominated two Cotnn.ittees, one of seven, and the other of five Mem bers, on the Law of Recruiting, and the Septennial 66 Projet." The first was composed of the Marquis de Lally, de Posteret, the Count Portalis, the Marquis de Bonndoy, the Count de 5....a', the Count de La forest, and the Count de Castellane. The Members lof the second were--Suchet, the Duke de Albufera, the Marquis de Vieinanil, the Viscointe Dejeon, the Duke de Briesac, and the Marquis de Latour Maubourg. The Chamber of Deputies, on Friday, were assembled in the dir:rcnt " Bureaux," in local Committees of no poli tical interest. The Committee which had to report on the eligibility of Benjamin Constant to the Chamber, did not meet on that day. The object is to keep him out of the Chamber by " finesse," as long as possible.—From our Bayonne letter it will be seen that the usual horrors con tinue in Spain. It appears that Cordova, on the 19th of last month, was the scene of frightful atrocities. The in fernal Royalists had resolved to assassinate all those of the Constitutional Party, and chose St. Joseph's Day for the hellish sacrifice. The wretches, however, succeeded but in part; seven victims only sunk under their weapons; the rest were rescued by French troops. At Seville, hot- rible tumults of the same description existed ; seventeen persons had been extcuted in that city. In fact, there , was nothing like ,tranquillity of peace in almost any part of unhappy Spain. The French troops were to leave Madrid on the lit of April, end- go into cantonments. Questa: and hittlands of the Faith were to preserve tran quillity in their place. New executions were 'taking place in that capital, and two iadirrkluals were hangedon the 29th. Quesada had received, U the barren reward of his services, the Grand Cross of St. Ferdinand. Such was the state of Spain, that a reinforcement of 6,000 additional French troops were, it a said, to enter it immediately. Ac counts from Rime to the 31st of March, brought by a special courier to Paris, state the death of the Duchess of Devonshire in that city, on the SOth. She was long distir.- guished in that capital by her munificent protection of the Arta. The Duchess lived with splendid hospitality in Rome, and expended large sums in excavating the ruins of the " eternal city." Her death will be universally re gretted. The remains of Miss Bathurst, whose untimely death we had to record with inimingled regret, have at length, it appears, been found. They were discovered near Ostia; the Tiber bad dragged her body across the ruins of Rome. ambition of France is again reviving, ender the Bourbons Such results were long since anticipated as the consequences of the career of the French arms during the past year in Spain. The vanity and ambition of the wretched Angnu leme have been roused by his unrcsisted triumphs within the Pyrenees. A large army, flushed with Spanish con que..t, is now or foot in France, and will not be tranquil without employment ; plausible pretences will soon be found to warrant aggressions, on the part of this restless soldiery, which must of necessity involve Great Britain. The peace that now prevails through Europe, from mere exhaustion, will not, we fear, be of long continuance —The Italian Papers state that sever.l Tartars had arrived at Alexandria, from Constantinople, offering the command of the Ottoman armies against the Greeks, to the Padre, Mahomed Ali, with deceptions &mans and pelisses of honour, proposing also to cede the pachalic of Dames- CUB to him. Mohamed Ali, however, is too subtle and powerful to 1* caught in this prepared trap. He will net ! !surrender his present independence for a dangerous coin-', !mend of this sort. lie has already avowed his revolt, avid is preparing to maintain it by force of arms. The wily Dacha is organising a powerful body of troops, disciplined in the saMe army as those of Europe. His Staff-officers are distinguished by splendid uniforms and decorations; ! and an entire regimmt, called the 6th of the Line, commanded by a renegade, who had embraced the Mos lem faith, under the name of Soliman Bey, was expected at Alexandria. This corps consists of not less than four thousand men, with a company of gre nadiers and voltigeurs, bearing white standards, and a hand of music, its entire ccmpocition opposite to the settled principles of the Ottomans. But the Egyptian Pacha has discrimination enough to see that it is only with such troops he can hope to make head against the tumultuous, rabble that compose the Turkish forces, and he has acted accordingly; he will not leave Egypt, to yield his neck to the mutes of the seraglio, who have the fatal bow-string prepared. Mohamed Ali has far different views; lie has accomplished most important changes throughout Egypt already since his accession to its Govern ment, and will probably add Syria to his dominions before long. The most interesting contents of the Brussels, Ber lin, and other papers, will be found to follow: have hitherto been chiefly furnished by the American% sod from the scanty and precarious supply of winch they ar e very often in a starving state. The produce of these valu able and thickly-sown islands is very little known to Europe. The spirit of commercial enterprise, or of scien tific research, have never yet been directed to the trea sures of the southern continent. We have hitherto been satisfied with the dieeeerers of these Islands; but the hidden stores of wealth which they contain still remain to be turned to account. By their first dis coverer, ALONZO SATEDRA, they were called the Islands of SotomoN ; 211(1 the distinguished nal isators, DE Qt•Esos and TORS; a, who visited them two centuries ago, not only report that the country is highly beautiful in prospect, ar.d extremely fertile in produce, but that it abounds alb., with everything which has hitherto been accounted riches ; such as gold, silver, precious hones, spices, and other products of equal value. They state themselves otiy to have visited the roost; but this fortifies their testimony, :Intl should animate us to stilhgrester ex citement ; for although the coasts arc alwayi the ntosf populous districts, in consequence of the ad vantates aftbrded Iby the vicinity of the sea, yet the richest, part elf te country is its interior, which the mercantile "rm . = lator always explores with the best returts of profit. The Dt:Tell EAST INDIA COMPANY has pow, by their Charter, to direct settlements either in New ()nines from the Moluccas, or in New Holland from Batavia. Itut the fear, we presume, of exciting the jealousy of rcat lain, as well asof drawing its attention to the valise and int ' portance ef these country s, by establi•hing colonies in them, has withheld them from the atte:npt. Their i rudence alcne has put this restraint upon their inclination : and could the obstacles which their discretion has thiwn in their • way be removed, their intention, which has been oftentimes strongly manifested, would soon be carried into effect. It is certain,—although the circumstance was not genera:ly known,—that the COVERNOR-GENPRAL or. BATAVIA some time since sent a sloop of war to the Sultan of Soo'oo, with presents of considerable value, which were favourably received, and the Sultan wrote, with his own Itand, a let ter of acknowledgment. This overture, we know from au. thority, originated in a desire on the part of a Dutch to establ6h a settlement there, to the exclusion afthe Eng. lish, and a readiness was expressed to adopt any measure that might lead to the attainment of that objtat. So fro from having abandoned, they are still anxiously intent upon it. The promptitude, therefore, with which Los* e) asATIICRST has acted, cannot be too warmly praised. No step could have been taken of more importance in Its re atilt to the mercantile interest than this settlement, stationed on a spot every way fitted to facilitate our foreign commerce, and to strengthen the resources *nig bide Raoul:Ls, Aram 9. Her Royal Highness the Princess of Orange was happily deli ' vexed of a Princess yesterday morning, at seven o'clock. The Journal of the Prefecture of Met: mentions* report that a camp of 25,000 men will be formed in the neighbourhood of Mete in the course of the suumocr, when the Duke of Angouleme wil l visit 'hat city. The following Bayonne letter of the 31 of Aptil contains a dreadful description of the state of Spain. The wretched Spaniards, under their present rule, are " supping full of horrors;" murders, and executions, thicken Walling cities." These are the blessings the arms of the Bourbons and re vived legitimacy have brought with them within the Py renees. From Nancy we learn, that preparations are making to assemble. near Luneville, 38 squadrons of cavalry, which will be encamped during the months of June, July, and August, for the purpose of being exercised in grand evolutions. We hear at once from Berlin, and from the Prussian provinces on the Rhine, that at the solicitude of the Clergy of both coot amnions, dancing, and all kinds of amusements, have been prohi bited, under very severe penalties, in all the towns and communes A Dissolution of Parliament is said to be by Ministers at the close of the present 8 ession;e ,1 74 1 , 1 1 11 1 11 : cannot imagine. The present Parliament has not sat mein than four years, and to us it seems unaccountable why 3H nisters should wish at present to dissolve it. ?vie appeal so the country can give theta latger majorities than they now possess on every question of any importance. The present Administration, from the wise and liberal policy it bra of late pursued, at home and abroad, and a happy concurrence of circumstances, possesses the most unquestioned pope. larity. The country is prosperous ani powerful beyond all former example. It has risen from its fleeting difficul ties and distress, like a giant refreshed by his slumbers. The voice of discontent is silent throughout iiwlatid, and, the factions that agitated it have sunk in Rs prosperity. We now possess a diminished debt, an wive sinking fund, a reduced tautio.i, an energetic people universally employed, a commerce spread on every sea ; the power of Britain is decisive throughout the civilized world ; our vast possessions now stretch from the risingto ale erten( sun, and are waterel by the dews abed, hemispheres. Rome, in her day of great .at strength, never pastesnl such an empire. Nine years of uninterrupted peace bare re newed the energies of England ; she now stands strong is her collected strength—a match for any confederation that couhi arm against her. But repose is still essential to het happiness : it is the greatest blessing the country an ex perience. The policy of Ministers in not committing our, resouroes during the late contest between France and Spain, is now felt as it deserves, and appreciated in its visits. sults. Their triumph, in consequence, not only in both Houses, but throughout the country, is complete, Theo is, in fact, no organized Opposition at 'resent in Pala. teem. We see none of those debates and divisions thss lased whole nights, and tried so closely the steength of both patties ; all now, in the language of the Baena kh wrian, is " Otiain slantiutoqua law Chas." What purposes, then, could a dissolution of Parlianteat, under such circumstances, accomplish ? Do Mildews wish to press their opponents, on the adverse beneher, still further, and, by a new election, endereetar to ended* many of them from their seats. It is mare thee deebtftil whether a dissolution would produce that effect; 'for is IVhigs of England are still powerful, and, if united, most formidable. They possess immense property, and propor tionate influence, throughout the country, and am always secure the returns of a large party. Ministers, tbeteseirest must wish to see a respectable and effective opposition in I both Houses : it gives effect to their propelition4 sad attracts an attention that must be gratifying from the country. All, in fact, would be dull and regnant without it, and the proceedings of Parliament would lose half their interest with the people at large. The Declaration of see of our Edwards, " that frequent new Parifsmiense lewd ; greatly to the benefit of the country," was a wile end itst I one. But the expenses of elections. as at present eciedected. I see crormous, and we think a dissolution ebbs* not take place, or members be subjected to such expense, on ligLL ; grounds.

With the news from Madrid of the 211:h we have a letter from Cordova of the 21st, which curtains the following statement : '• The day before yesterday was a day of horror and desolation. The absolute Royalists had resolved to assassinate all the Consti tutionalists, and obese for the execution of their plan St. Joseph's day. Fortunately they succeeded but partially ; seven victims only perished. More French troops, It was said, might be expected in the city, which would be very desirable, to keep the people in awe." From Seidl, they write that much disorder prevails there, and that the people commit the most scandalous excesses, that there is no tranquillity citkirksy day co by Rig* 17 persons have just been executed there. • • of the Prussian monarchy, from the 24th of March to the Easter holidays, The Italian papas give a letter from Alexandria of the 7th of Februaty, which says:— " Several Tartars have arrived within these few days from Con stantinople, with firmans and pelis , es of honour for oar niche, who is appointed Commander-in-Chief against the Greeks. Daniascm will be ceded to him. •. Our regular troops daily increase, and the regiments are or poised and equipped in the European planner. The staff officers in particular have splendid uniforms, and weer a sun, a moon, and a star of brilliants on the breast. We expect in a few days the 6th rtginseat of the line, commanded by Colonel Sene, who boo em braced the Mahometan religion and is called Soliman Bey. This corps is of 4,000 men, and beg one company of grenadiers and one of voltigeurs. The standsrds are white, the drummers black. A band of music is expected from Europe. 'Bx, Ansi. 1. At Valencia the iloptinhawsiets Ifhatinue. Among the persons ' of distinction who are uriiidi is the Marquis of Alnisdavar. Those two cities urgently solicit French troops. It is said, in a village of Castil e, the people having TIM; farad the doors of the prison, where there were %I of the national militia, who were replaced by seven Royal volunteers. It is certain that numerous exteutiots arc going to tate place. Heavy contributions are going to be laid on Madrid. The moment is not favourable. The money raised by the Contra de Surds will be soon exhausted ; it will hardly cover the first expenses of the journey of the Court to Aranjues, for which place it set out_on the 27th. The same day the funeral obsequies of the celebrated Viauessa, whose remains were removed to the Jesuits' College of St. Indore, were celebrated with great pomp. A funeral oration was pronounced on the de ceased, who is considered as a martyr. The common people say, that his body has remained in a perfect state for these three yeura, which they ascribe to a miracle, and consider him as a Saint. General liourmont has accompanied Iris Majesty, and all the French troops to evacute klaclrid by the 30. h. It is said, that it is intended to make a trial of the spirit of the capital when it is left to itself. A traveller, just arrived from Switzerland, says, he was obliged to stop at Then), by the quantity of snow which had fallen, and made it impossible to proceed. The oldest inhabitants do not re m-m.lw such immense quantities of snow on the Alps and in the valleys of Switzerland. It was still snowing when he left Thies, the4th March. ST. PETERSII.IIOIIII, MARCEL lg. The day before yesterday the Emperor went to pass some days at Zarakojezelo. The Court has Tut on mourning for six weeks for the Princes Antoinette of Wirtetnburg, whose remains were deposited on the 17th in the Lutheran Church of St. Anne. The Corpse will remain there till May, when it will be removed to the family vault ID Courland. STOCKHOLM, BlAacn 26. General Quesada, who remains at Madrid with his troops, is I said to have made himself answerable fur the preservation of tranquillity. All persons even suspected of liberal sen. timents, have been ordered to remove to the distance of fifteen leagues from Aranjuez. This measure appeared so severe, wren under present circumstances, that some remonstrances Pan of the equipages of the Priors and Princess Royal left this city yesterday. Their Royal Highnesses depart on the Bth of April. The question of the free importation of foreign manufactures cannot get decided by the Government. It scents, however, that preparatory .reps have been taken, and diplomatic communications were ventured on ; but instead of their being listened to, it is ap. prehended that those who ventured to make them will suffer for their rashness. No stranger will be allowed to stop at Arenjues more than 24 hours, without an express permission of the Govern ment. The late execution of some robbers have not deterred those who follow the same profession. The only three diligence' in Spain were robbed on their last journey. Considerable quantities of wool, lately sent from Segovia to Catalonia, were pillaged on the road. Many pe sons at Madrid were greatly averse to the Ki is s depar ture. His Majesty's absence, they said, has too often been the signal for great misfortunes. It is said that the King will be absent at least six months. Some troops were sent bcroft to guard the mad by which the Royal fatuity was to teasel. Some tzars arc entertained that when the French troops have left the capital disorders will er r sue. There has been'a report of he ittention to banish 7.001, CT 8.000 persons front Madrid; but that Mr. Argona, the superin.. tends/it of Police, opposed this rigorous measure, and represented to his Majesty the danger of such a peascription. However, several persons have been exiled, witseeistill Chiefs of the Militia, Mem. ben of the Alunicipality, &c. • All the French, except the Ambassadors, leave Madrid the first of April, to go into cantonments at some leagues from the capital. The Gerdes du Corps are going to occupy Cordova ; no more will remain at Aranjuez than are absolutely necessary to do the duty. The troops arc dissatisfied with this removal, aed the officers say, it is enough to be in Spain, without being banished into the vit. loges. The executions hare began ; two persons were hanged on the 29.11. On the same day numerous processions paraded all the streets of the capital. The snldicrs of the Faith, who are recog nised by the diversity of their uniforms, have taken possession of the ety. . . . . _ opened with Foreign Powers. The new ordinance against smuggling, on which the Committee is now employed, mu►t be presented to the Government by the beginning of.lune, that it may be promulgated at the beginning of neat ycat. The new Tariff of Customs wall be put in force at the same time. COPICIMAGEN, Anil. S.
