To this increase of military force must be added liil the battalions of the landwehr, which are armed and equipped, and only wait an order to join the troops of the line. The Minister of War has caused 4,000 horses to be purchased in Holstein, which are destined to remount the heavy cavalty. The artillery regiments have been completed to their full effective strength.

TRIBUNAL OF MUNICIPAL POLICE. CASE OF SIR JAME 3 CRAWFORD. I Ahoot Lsll-past eleven o'clock yesterday, Sir James Ciawfurd entered the Cowl, accompanied bye new advo cate, M. Slerilhou. n. Mcrilhou, in the opening of the affair, prayed that the Lewin might he further postponed, as his client required the evidence of the Due de Angouleme and M. the Count Dt rases. The personal attendance of a member of the Royal Family could not be expected.

The President- 1 ' Your conduct is wore and ware im- proper." [After some further altercation, in which the President threatened Sir James Crawford with severity if be pe rsisted in the ctiure he was pursuing, Sir James at length read the letters from the Keeper of the Seals and the Attorney, to which he had alluded, respecting the attendance of the Duke of Augouleme.] M. Berryer opposed the further postponement of the case. Sir James Crawford renewed his system of attack, and accused the Countess IYOeaay as a swindler and a rubber. — (General murtatier.) The Countess—" You formerly accused me even of assas sination." M. Crawford—a So Ido now, Madame.

The President proceeded to give judgment upon the post posernent of the ease, but lie was interrupted by new ex clamations from Sir James Crawford. A memencer and a soldier is attendance endeavoured in vain to keep him quiet. The threat of the President to turn him out had no more effect. The President at length gave formal orders fur his expolsion. Sir J. Crawford—" Well, I shall go, as I went the other day."

The programme of his public entre into London, this day, is given in another part of our Paper. The following letters on the subject were communicated to us at a late hour last night : " Barnet, Sunday Evening, Nine &Clock. " MT DEAR W ►tT—t have this moment, for the first time, seen it mitinnured in The Observer, that it is the intention of my friends to meet me at Islington, sad to conduct me to the Crown and Anchor to dinner to-morrow by a circuitous route through Finsbury-slime, &c.

DEAR Stn-I am lorry to hear that there has bees any squabbling about my coming into London to-nsurrow. I was in hopes that all the fn feuds or liberty would bare join ed heart in hand upon this important occasion. I have interfered, either directly or indirectly, wins auy one about it, and I ant auxiuus to 'rave it entirely to lb, people. I am, dear Sit, yours sincerely, Tu Mr. R. Ireland. H. HUNT. " Every sincere friend to Parliamentary Reform, and every well-wisher to his country, whose mind is sufficiently capacious to form a due estimate of the advantages of a well-poised form of Govern- meld," says the Editor of that liberal, independent, ■nd respectable print, The Leedt Mercury, will learn with satisfaction, that a ithICORD has been set on foot in Leeds, wherein every male inhabitant or mature years may pe►►ceably and constitutionally record his opinion, that a necessity exists for a Re form in our representaive s)stem. The Record to which we allude fore►; the first page in a book pre pared fur the reception of sign:awes, and is ea- premed in these terms:- 1 ' We, the undersigned inhabitants of Leeds, in the Newt Rifling of the County of Yolk, being of the age of 21 years, or upwards, du hereby record our opinion peace ably, but decidedly, that the Commons House of Parlia ment, as at present constituted, dues nut fairly and fully represent the People of the United Kingdom, and there fore that a Reform in the Constitution of Hut House is indispensably necessary: " Amongst the signatures," says the saute Editor, is already •Hued, are some of the most re. spretable iiihabitants in the town, and that number, now the document is made public, will experience daily augmentation. Such a record mly be sub scribed by every one who feels, as candid men of all parties generally do, that in the lapse of ages our representative system ha*l.:llen into decay, and that it wants that timely renovation, without which all human institutions fall to ruin. It could never,be in tended that, in the scale of representation, the vil lage of Aldbotough and the county of York should stand upon the same footing ; that a Cornish borough, without inhabitants. should return two Members to Parliament, and that Manchester, Bir mingham, Leeds, and Sheffield, the two former with their 100,000, and the two latter with their 40,000 inhabitants, should not have a single voice in the Great Council of the Nation. Our fore fathers, when they established a House of Repre- sentatives„ fur what has now rruwn to a popu lation of ow twenty millions of souls, could not have contemplated such a nionstrous stute of things, as that about two hundred Peers and wealthy Commoners should send to that As sembly one half of its members. There can be no equity in the landed interest forming nine tenths, at least, of our representatives ; while the commercial and trading intele4t, which is quite equal in magnitude and importance, is sunk into insignificance. The natural fruits of such a de fective system of representation arc our Corn and Wool Bills; end if the interests of our great landed proprietors require it, further measures will be taken, and carried through Parliament, consti tuted as it is at present, to keep ttu the price of land at the expense of oUr Matitifiteturing and commercial prosperity.

The road from Ilt.a;o . :d to Cadiz 11 , 1111 been crowded for some days pa with Generals, superior Officers, Commissaries, &c., who are proceeding with all haste to join the expedition, which is at length on the eve of its departure. General Alderon, who is appointed Commander-in-Chief, has received all his instructions, and very ex tensive powers both to negoctate and to prose cute the war with vigour, in ease his &farts to obtain a pacification should not have the de sired effect. The proclamation which is to be published and circulated with profusion as moms as he lands in America. has bort, drawn up at Madrid. On the other hand, all the troops dispersed in the four provinces of Andaltisa hive received orders to proceed to Saint Mary. the isle of Leon, and the environs of Cadiz. The Go verionent has made incredible efforts to com plete these preparations, and the expenses have beet' so enormous, that the treasury is exhausted. Font millions of reale were sent from Madrid fur the army last week. The mooot absurd reports are circulated respect ing Melchior and his baud. The following account seems to be the most certain :--The troop of this Chief does not amount to 300 mea, and it subsists rotiiely by pillage. When it is followed by detachments of troops, it retires into the defiles of the mountains and divides into small parties, winch join again when the danger is 11111.1 ; ninny of those robbers have been killed, others taken and hanged. What proves that they are not very formidable is, that the high mad from Madrid to Batlajoz is perfectly free and wife. I.OI.:ISUERG, AUGUST 31. The Cominis‘iorers of the king and of the Sates of IVirteinberLt• have now concluded their deliberations to the pl in of a Constitution. The articles of this Act, which are proposed in common, are already distributed • g the members of the Assembly of the Sustes in proportion 314 the sheets are printed, its order to facilitate the omissions when the Sittings are commenced. Thus following are the principal points of title Act :- 1. All the integral parts the kindom arc Its form an inseparable whole, and arc muted uuder one and the mine Constitution. O. lu ciste that io future the kingdom should remit.* a mew SCCO•711111U of territory, *hotter by exeltauge, sale, or . . any tither manner, ibis accession shall be admitted to a joint ritticipation in the Constitution. That is to be re garded 3% an ormolus' of territory which the King acquires nut only Irom his owu person, but by the employment of the teamsters of the State, or with the express stipulation that such territory ore an integral part of the kingdom. 3. 'lke kingdom of Wirtemberg noshes a part of the Ger manic Confederation, consequently all the organic resolu tions of the Diet which concern the constitutional relations of Germauy, or the general relations of the Burgher Ger. nom States, have also the force of laws fur ‘Virtemberg, when they have been published by the King. Ilosever, the conclitutional co-operution of the States is uecessary in the frICIIIri or carrying into execution the obligations founded on these resolutions.—(Grrman Papers, Sept. 10.) 1 A new prison has been lately finished in Brus sels for the reception of priso n ers.

LONDON, MONDAY, SIeivrIDISER is, 1819• We have received Paris Papers of Wednesday and Thursday la.t. A Netherlands squadron, con• stating of a ship of the line and two frigates, arrived in the latter end of August at Toulon, where. as haviag last touched at Nlessins, it was placed under quarantine. The object of this squadron is to cruise in the Mediterranean for the purpose of pro tecting the flag of the Netherlands from the insults of the Barbary pirates. Shame to civilized Europe that, in the nineteenth century. a squadron should be required for such a porpoise ! Sailors continue to be collected in all the ports of Gallicia, Catalonia, and Biscay, and thence ex pedited to Cadiz, for the speedy completion of the grand armament. French transport ships are con stantly arriving in Cadiz from Bourdeanz ■nd Bayonne, and the troops are su stationed in the neighbourhood of Cadiz, as to he ready to assemble for embarkation at the first signal. It is hinted that the Spanish Government has complained to the Courts of London and Paris, of the freedom with which its principles and measures have been canvass ed in some English and French Journals, and that mime notes have passed between the respective Mi nisters of State. It would seem by the increased strictness with which the Spanish authorities endea vour to prevent the introduction of those obnoxious publications into the territories of Spain, that the di plomatic correspondence has produced no very fa vouable results ; it also proves by the apprehensions of those in power, that such writings may chance to he recogni►ed by the nation in general as containing a dangerously correct view of the real state of that unfortunate country. A good Government has no cause to fear the truth, and misrepresentations can- not injure it. It is stated in an article from Altona, dated the 314 of August, that reports prevailed there of some revolutionary and sanguinary scenes having taken place in Sweden, but no further intimation is given of the nature of the transactions. We do not believe, that if an attempt were made in that country to alter the dynasty, much surprise would be felt at it in any part of Europe. BERN•DOTTB enjoys a good reputatioo, and those who know him beat affirm that he deserves it ; but it cannot he for gotten that his family stands as it were alone in Sweden, and that, if he were to fall, there is not a mall there or elsewhere who would feel himself called noon to revenge his death. The French live per cents. are 73 1. 15 c.—Bank Stock 1,465 f. A Flanders Mail arrived last night with Papers to the I lih instant. Advice. from the interior of Spain, by way of Irun, represent the expedition for South America as on the eve of its departure. The route fruits Madrid to Cadiz is covered with officers of every class, on their way to join it. All three reporatouus, however, are not considered suf ficient to ensure success. Should the beloved Een- DIN•ItD fail to reduce his revolted colonies to sub jection by force, he will in his mercy acd goodness condescend to negotiate with them. The Com , mander-in-Cidef goes out with instructions to that effect. The Patticc REGENT is expected to visit the Marquis of WINCHEVTER, at Ampert, oti his way from Rosie) , to the sea coma. to embark again on his pleasurable water excursions. Flis Royal fligh tless is expected at Portsmouth on Friday to cm hark in the Royal George yacht. The yacht will go out of harbour this day. The Phaeton, Canntits DILLON, recently arrived at Portsmouth from the East Indies, landed a large quantity of specie at Calcutta from England. She touched at Madras, Trincomalee, and the Cape of Good Hope, on her passage homeward, which latter settlement she left the 10th Jun e. The ge neral state uf affairs in India was tranquil and pros• perm., and the season more healthy. She brought numerous dispatches and letters from all the Pre ridencies.—Sir RICHARD RINI; had gone to Bom bay in the Minden, 71, Capt. PATERSON; the other ships of the squadron were cruising in various quar ters. The Phaeton touched at St. Helena, and had • passage of only five weeks from thence to England. BONAPARTE continued to live in the same secluded manner he had done for some time. The service of watching him had grown most ardnons to the troops and !ships, from the constant alertness kept up, and the want of suitable %applies, the island producing in itself little for sustenance, and the distance from the Cape being so great, one-half the cattle shipped there died on the passage, anal Ithe remainder were nearly starved, yet our seamen and troops, at the departure of the Phaeton, main tained their health better than they had done. The Malabar, new 74, Capt. CLAVELL, from Bombay, arrived ut the Cape of Good Hope on the 2d June, ou her passage to England. The Dauntless, Hon. Capt. V. GARDNER. with General Sir E. BARNES, for Ceylon, sailed front the Cape 14116.10ne. The /cams, Hon. Copt. BRIDGMAN, arrived at Valpa raiso early in May, from Monte Video. Commodore Sir TliolAAS MASTIIIIIAR HARDY, Bert. sailed from PI) mouth on Thursdiry, with the is se peliCelOe ma unobjectionable as not to alarm the most timid. To be useful, however, it must become general, anti we strongly ire .41 to every town and populous ni the kiitgiloin to set cm foot • similar Record. Ministers have often said, that they refuse to entertain any pins of Re. form, because the people, properly so called, have never yet expressed their dissatisfaction with the preient stile of the represents* . . Here the tie. claration that the present constitution of the !limo of Commons is inadequate to the representation of the people, is distinctly made, and the consequent cessity of Reform is insisted upon, will t eratis.r. fussing the question with any specific plan, ••;;;„, which those who are folly aware et the nere..it e the proceding might probably differ. If thes,t cords should, as we confidently hope they oil, hr. come general, the ulterior proceeding may I, petition to Parliament. of such a nature as to In come irresistible.

" For a few days the Bonk of Record will re main at the Office of this Paper, and afterwards will be placed in situation, to receive inure general - let." It is said that our ships of war on the IItICP eat u .. blishment are in future to shift their otatimo, so an not to remain more than a year on one atation. Thus, if they begin in the Channel, they ate to serve one year in the West tunics, and one year at St. Helena; or one year in the Alediterraliesti. and one year in South America. fly this regulation our officers and seamen will he more inured to the different climates. and obtain a inure perfect know,. ledge of maritime geography.

Consul General fur the Azure-, cod Agent to Lloyd's, dated St. Michael's, July e! , :— s , The Portuguese ship Priuceza do Brazil, Capt. B. P Araujo, has put into Fayal, after baying fought two s. rev actions on the 2d and Stb inst. with a large brie, are hour gent privateer, which was twat of in a most patina' soo ner. The Portuguese vessel, the Hercules, which as, iti Cola puny, fell into the hands of the privateer, having only two guns and 30 men on board ; she was bound to Oporto, tailfrt with sugar, coffer, hides, and some specie. The proateie having the advantage of sweeps, towed the ship Hercules out of gunoilitit of the Princess de Brazil, or there if hale doubt but she would have lard re-captured. The Captain of the Princess belongs to the royal navy of Portagi!, and has conducted himself in a very gallant 111111111er, as also hie crew, of whom he had 9 killed and It wounded; among-it the fanner is a second mate. By the report or the Master of the Hercules, 'II he was taken on board the privateer, .1w had 24 killed, and a great many wounded, including the Captain. The privateer's crew would nut tell her name, but arktiow bilged they had left Baltimore about 20 iblyS beture, and that they had captured the Portuguese ship Flora, beloul ing to Oporto, bound to Rio Janeiro." Another letter front the same gentleman, dated the 2d ult, says— " Yesterday the United Slates' sloop of war Die, pried through this anchorage, to obtain information relit/tins an Insurgent privateer, stated to he a twig schooner, whir:. boarded and plundered au American East Indiamau of 12,000 dollars, se well as Other property. The prissier,. be ing supposed to be off Fayal, the Erie went immediately iu quest of her. She arrived here in eleven days (ruin Gibral tar, and has ou hoard the mate of the American man, to identify the privateer iu the event of falling in with her." Letters from St. Thomas's, of the 29th corroborate the report of time f a ll of Barcelona to the mins of the Patriots. They further state that the expedition from Margarita, unilf.r the com mand of UROANETA, had effected a lauding, and advanced to the attack of Coinana. The Dublin Commercial Gazette of WedliPillaY last says.--.. Oil Sunday night the guards at the Castle were trebled, the pieces of artillery ou the spot were prepared for any emergency, wed a strong body of horse was ordered to penile eta the Naas road. Similer precautions were taken at tie last-mentioned town, the guards were h eir doubled, and the staff of the Kildare militia was ordered oat duty.
