LONIX)N, TUESDAY, Aram 13, 18511. ssturday and Sunday's French Papers reached our office last night. Five thousand French troops, who garrisoned Madrid, have quitted that capital, it appears, for the Banks of the Tagus, where they will be cantonal, so as to surround Aranjuez, extending their lines towards Toledo, and protecting the " beloved" Ferdinand from his faithful subjects. This sudden removal, the Mora:ease aaserts, takes place in compliance with an article of the Treaty of Occupation between the two countries, by which it is sti pulated that Madrid is not to have • French garrison ex rcpt when Ferdinand and his fancily reside there; and liounciont, with WOO troopa, is then to form the body mien, of the tyrant. Horrible excesses, it will he seen from even the .Doniterr, still continue throughout Spain. Con slant murders were repeated, and that country is torn and 1 scramsl in every part by the most outrageous fanaticism. l quebhard, the Paris banker, it appears was expected at 43 drid, to treat again for tho Royalist Loan ; and the Mot•ircsr labours hard to prove that the security is, admirable." Every thing (this disinterested journal says), must induce moniel men to take part in a Loan which ofErs them such great advantages." Notwith standing all this, there is still considerable doubt u to' Cluebhard's being able to realise any contract he may make, unit as the French Government guarantee it. This mentions (;eneral Nava's being still at Gibraltar [we doubt the fact], and takes great pains to vindicate him front the charge of revolutionary principles. " Impartial history (the Atoni:essr adds) will one day say that he contrit:uted more than any pereun to restore the King to !liberty?' U'hat new des:g:ts ob., this forced eulogium ben? ak? General Maya can gain nothing by the inte rested and insincere praise of the Momileur : his high character is his hest defence against th? calumnies of the eircteltt• now in power in Spain. There is nothing beside of any leading interest in these Papers. Front the .Ifumiterr of Saturday.] 3IADMID, MAaeN 31. The French garrison, which occupied Madrid, is to repair, to the number of 4,1101). to t h e banks ,of the Tagus, where it will be canto:aid so as to surround Aranjitex, extending its lines towards Thi,, formation via kii.d of camp has been the subject of many utsisrvatisaiss ; but persons who are well intimated know that ley the Tre..ty of Occupation Lately concluded between France and Spcin, the city of Madrid is not to have a French garrison except when the King and the 6vy:ll Family reside in it, and that the guardisg of them is entrusted to atfun French, under the jinni!. date command of flenend ltoursmitst, consequently they cannot sae in the cantonments which the French troops are going to occupy ii.t the hanks of the 'farts, anything more titan a natural result of the Treaty of Occuration. • M. de Arjoona, the Superintentlent•General of the Pollee of the Kingdom, has just reamed foam the munificence of the King, ' the I hider of Ciiatf.si 11l and a pension. The firm, and at the saute time platten, and moderatecooduct of this Magistrate, duly raised him in else esteem of honest Men of all parties. The public spirit its mane pravnbee.llCCllls to have become more calm, but there arc others where very lamentable scents still occur. rhos within a few its) s the population of Guadultextra assaasis mated, in the twiddle of the day, in the most cruel manner, an in. tividual, who was sate to be a negro ; and at Cuenca the people ex. temkd their rage even to the dead body of a Carson, who was ac. rustd of liberal principles. On the 2thli of this month, when the funeral of the lie. It:shone was to he per:twined in the Cathedral of which he had been Canoes. the people came in crowds, and would d have carried of the body had not the Bishop received notice of the tunault, and caused the hotly to be buried before the populace en i tcre.l the Church, and before the strvice was finished. We have harm by the last courier but one from Paris, that 31. Guebhard, the bank•?, is tooling to Madrid to treat in person abmt the Lwn which the King desires to contract. The great plenty of money hall the markets of Europe, the progroisive rise of the English and Ferule!' funds, and especially the security which the lenders must feel in a legitimate government, which seeks by eemonly at d good management to resume its rank among the mimarchies of Europe, every thing must induce monied men to take part in a loon which offers them such great advantages. General .llava remains at Gibraltar, protected by the Governor, on the recommendation of Wellingtn. Alava, whom we consider as one of the great victim'', never was, nor could be, a revo lutionist. Reamed among the Jacobins, I know not by what chance he avoided all the evil that he could. Inspnrnal history will one day say, that he contributed more than any person to restore the King to lihe7ty. PAIII4 MAIICII 9.

M.—Cowes Anthenligsst, .Iptil 10. The Alien Bill last night, on the motion of Mr. Peel, who moved the Order of the Day for the third reading, was eatrieel, on a division, by a large majority. It was opposed by Mr. Lennart!, Mr. Leyerster, and Colonel Palmer. Mr. Heilman, on the question being put from the Chair, ruse and spoke at considerable length against it. His speech possessed little novelty or erect ; it was, in fact, only a repetition of a few of the many arguments that had previously been much more powerfully put against this Bill on former occasions. The lion. Gentleman at the close of h's address moved an amendment, limiting the duration of the Act to one year in place of two, which a large majority also negatived on a division. Mr. Ilutchin son did not speak, though on a previous night he an nounced his intention to deliver his sentiments, in opposi tion to Mr. Canning's eloquent speech, at length against the Bill. We believe he was unfortunately ill, and in consequence absent from the debate. We trust the re newal of this measure will not again be necessary, and that our own situation and that of the Continent will be such as to render an enactment of this sort wholly uncalled for, when it once more expires. Shoals of foreigners' should nut be crowded on our shores without smile re straints beyond those that affect the natural born subjects of the empire: the country should be protected from the ma chinations of those that may be dangerous amongst them ; but the prevent Bill is arbitrary and de.potic in its ensc taunts ; and, though leniently exercised at present, it may be made an instrument of rwere oppression in other hands. Ministers are now pursuing a most liberal and enlightened career; their adininiatration is one alike honourable to themselves and to the country ; but it is possible that the power they exercised so tolerantly may part their keeping, and though we see no likelihood of any such change, arbi nary laws should not be put upon the statute book, merely on the faith of high character in those to whom the exer cise is committed!. One important alteration, however, much to the honour of Ministers, has been made in this Act, and it has disarmed it of its worst severity. Several thousand industrious and peaceable foreigners, long resi dent in the country, are in consequence wholly exempted from its provisions, and its other clauses are comparatively unobjectionable. Its future composition will probably be of even a much milder character, making it a law of only just and salutary restraint to foreigners, and of fair protec tion to the people of this great and rising country. The vote of 500,000/. towards the building of new Churches was last night carried by a sweeping majority, on the motion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. There was nothing remarkable in the discussion except the speech of Sir Isaac Coffin : it was a delectable specimen of bread farce. The Gallant Admiral appears to be as deadly a foe to the hapless Methodists and Bitumen, u he formerly was to a French fleet. Ile poured out his fire last night without mercy; every gun was double-clotted; and grape, canister, and round, flew about him in every direction: we wonder how Mr. Butterworth survived the fury of his eloquence. The Gallant Minim! commenced his attack by declaring his orthodoxy in form ; that his Church com mission was a regular one, and not that of an unlicensed rover : he then proceedel at once to " sink, burn, and destroy." The number of " devil-killers," Sir Isaac de clared, was dreadfully on the increase. It behoved the (louse, in consequence (he added), to be on the alert, and to guard the interests of the Church against the Method ists and Dissenters. who sought to undermine it. They were such routing fellows (Sir Isaac asserted), that they found their way into our kitchens, and even our cellars: l he spoke (he added) from experience, and the fatal conserptences were prostitution and d!shouesty through the country. Roars of laughter involuntarily burst from the House at the conclusion of this Dare harangue. Mr. Butterworth, wbo lay perJne to avokl the tretnen dons fire of the gallant Admiral, until the smoke cleared away, at length rose up, and warmly vindicated the dissenters from S.r Isaac's charge of being too fond of the kitchen and the viler, or bestowing too much care on the outward man. The fact was, Sir Isaac went tooter: he was reviving among the followers of the venerable Wesley and Whitfield, She ridan's inimitable scene of the Friars and Father Paul, in the Doenna, measuring their devotions by the bottle, and toasting " the blue-eyed nun of St. Catherine's." Yet Sir Isaac ought to know that the sons of the true church do not dislike an ortloadox bottle too either, and sometimes contrive to mellow their devotions with the grap;•. The Methodist■ are not the unly followers of grace who relish old wine : nerilast as Lingo says. The gravity of the Mose on such a subject was sadly broken in upon by Sir Isaac last night. But the Gallant Admiral and Mr. Martin seem to be privileged on almost any occasion : even Mr. Barka was seen to smile grimly last night. We were pleased to find Sir. BENNET adverting in Parliament to the fluctuating value of the colonial currency in N►:w SOUTH WALES it was a subject which well deserved to be brought under its consideration. It was I gratifying, at the same time, to remark the manliness and candour with able!, the Chancellor of the Exchequer admitted the inconvenience, which, it appears, had not escaped the attcnticn of Govmiment, as nn asures are in progress to remedy the evil. New South Wales is daily developing the rank it is one•dtyr destined to attain in the scale of British elliptic. Nailing could tend more to retard its prosperity, by convulsing all its operations of barter and trade, than a floating and precarious value in its circulating medium : it leaves the exchangeable price of all commo dities at the mercy of power, and destroys all commercial confidence throughout the colony. It was not likely that, under the present active and vigilant superintendence of Weirs, a grievance so embarrassing would pass unnoticed, or that the most effective steps would not be taken to remove it. We have unquestionable authority for assetting, that the letter from the Horse Guards, in reply to Mr. Battier'■ statement, has been anything but satisfactory in the very highest quarter; and that an Illustrious Personage, long connected with the cavalry regiment from which Mr. Bat tier was driven, by a merits of the most unjustifiable aggres sions, has expressed kis unqualified disapprobation of the conduct of the officers of that corps, and has been anything but satisfied by the defence subsequently made for them by Sir Herbert Taylor's letter. The exalted individual in question possesses too much discernment and generous feel ing to suffer his perception to be blinded by a sophistical statement such as that recently put forward front the I iorse I;uards. The character of the army has been deeply involved, and the character of the regiment in question stands as deeply committed, by the conduct of those at present connected with it. It must have been plain at I once to the mind of any unprejudiced individual, and it seas instantly perceived by the Illustrious Personage, I whose feelings revolt at everything like unworthy treat ment, that the object of the officers of the 10th Hussars was to recruit for themselves, and to exclude from their ranks any individual, however qualified, against whom 'I tl:ey thought proper to ackqu any unwarranted prejudices. We know nothing of Mr. Battier personally : upon every' admission, however, it appears that he is a gentleman, both in birth and conduct ; the shadow of a reflection has not been thrown upon him in either way. Ile entered the loth with the highest testimonials from distinguished officers under sellout he had previously served, and who ranked full as high in the army as either Sir George Quentin or the Marquis of Londonderry. But the new Cornet was frowned on at his first appearance ; the " Pandours" of the loth appeared to take umbrage at his very looks; they thought proper to assume that he was the :ion of a merchant—that his father dealt in bales of goods or usance of money; and Mr. Battier, for this &into's crime, was excluded from all association, and thrust into Coventry I forthwith. Sir Francis Burdett has a son in this curls. How must he feel on such an occasion? Must it not be a subject of unqualified regret to his high and honourable mind? It may have been that Mr. Battier was not quali- Red for effective duty with the regiment ; his explanations on this head, we think, are not satisfactory : but the league was formed against him before be appeared in the ranks at all ; the moment he entered the mess-room he was shunned as if he came from a lazar-house. Ile states that he was prevented from attending drills or duty for weeks. What was Sir George Quentin's object by such an order? Did the cavalry " Bayard" mean to prevent Mr. Battier front attaining anything like a capability of duty, and then to represent him as inefficient, from the effect of his own orders? We know that neither the Illustrious Individual to whom we have alluded, nor the army in general, arc satisfied with the conduct that has him' pursued to Mr. Battier ; and we are also justified in asserting, that the question will be investigated further, and will not be suf , lived to remain in its present state. It is said that Prince Leopold is to be married to the beautiful daughter of the Duke of Rutland.—Cork South ern Reporter. A private letter from Nuremberg, dated April 6, com municates some information relative to the akin of Tut key. The united remonstrations of Lord Stringford and Baron Ottenfels have failed to produce any diminution of the vexations exercised by She Turkish agents towards European vessels clearing out from the Bosphorus for the Black Sea, and particularly Odessa ; and although they have succeeded in procuring the conclusion of the Treaty between the Porte and the King of Sardinia, if the Captain of any Sardinian vessel were to announce an intention of sailing to a Russian port, his vessel would be detained and himself arrested.

The French Papers, with due allowance for suppression, will inform you of what is going on here. When a fa vourite measure is carried you will have an account of the triumph, but you hear nothing of the shuffling and cutting which secured the victory. The stream of politics glides on smoothly enough, if we look only at the surface; but those whose sight can dive below may perceive an under current that will one day or other carry all before it. My sentiments on what is going forward are embodied, nearly to the letter, in the following sentence:— " Tout cc que je vois, jette les semences d'une revolu tion qui arrivera immanquablement, et dont je n'aurai pas le plaisir d'etre le tcmoin." This was the prediction ,f Vidtaire in April, 1764—, With what tremendous exactness was his prophecy ful-1 filled ! had it been interwoven in the theology of a sect, it would have passed for inspiration. It was not difficult for a subtle and philosophic mind like his to foretell the certain result of the evils of his (lay ; and men who observe with equal penetration, may pronounce, with equal cer tainty, on the evils of the present time: and yet a timely reformation is the last thing thought of. Louis XVII I. has no turn for oppression—the fault is elsewhere. He could not be a patrint Aing, were he ever so much inclined to appear in that character. The Baron de Berenval tells (is in his Memoirs, that on Comeau'. proposing to Louis XV. to check the waste in his domestic affairs, the King replied, " My dear friend, there robberies in my house arc enormous, but it is impossible to put a stop to them : too many preple—tno many powerful ?yak are in terested in them, for us to flatter ourselves with the hope of being able to abolish thmn. All the Ministers I have had have form( d the project of remedying these abuses, but they have abandoned it in despair. This applies with equal force to abuses in the state, which are just as arduous to remedy as those of the house hold. Such an immense mass of interests are cemented to gether; the machinery of corruption is so locked, wheel within wheel, that to suppose a King or his Minisms can introduce reform when and where he pleases, in to suppose that eider may kick down Mount Etna with his foot. A t eII:JADES cut off the tail of his dog to ridicule the folly of the Athenians, but he could not cure th e f o lly it se lf. The veilli n often cling to abuses, long after the Jew would consent to extirpate theni ; and I have often thought, that could we make an exact estimate, we should find as much political evil exists by choke as by chance. The progress of knowledge, however, will put an end to this, and the result is fast approaching. As to patriotism and public spirit in men of rank and station, it is not to be looked for ; we hare, indeed, some extraordinary instances of the kind on record, but they belong for the most part to the regions of mythology. In matters of literature, we proceed pretty well. At pres..nt the principal works in the press at Paris, are the third volume of Le Dielionnuire des Oueragcs Atter onnies rt Pseudonymes, corn DOS?: irnduits ou publics cn Francois et en Latin. The first volume of this interesting work appeared in 1522; the second, in 1t423; and the third will be delivered in about a month. The plan is a collection from every literary work connected with the arts. science:, politics, theology, &c., that has appeared in France since the art of printing, arranged in alphabetical order, according to their subjects. In this Dictionary the name of the real authors of anonymous works are given ; as also when the writers have published under a feigned name. The whole has been compiled under the immediate super- intendence of Mons. Ilarbicr, Administrator of the King's private libraries, and Librarian to the State Council, and forms a catalogue of several hundred thousand volumes. It is inten ded to be completed in 4 vols. Svo. • This laborious compilation savours more of the phleg matic assiduity of a th..rtnan than the mercurial scholarship of It Parisian ; but such rare specimens do now and then occur, and this is one of them. A small novel, in octavo, has, within a few days, made much noise in Paris, entitled Ourika, or the Memoirs of a young Negress. It is ammymulis; but it is written, Cate seal, by NIADAME rA I)l , 4:mks:ix DC Doris. 180 great a name you may suppose is sufficient to supply every defect, and procure this li:tie work a high reputa tion; there is scarcely a bookseller's in Paris that has not the name Ourika, in letters four inches long, fixed in their window. It is printed in large type. and displays, what SHERIDAN wittily describes as " a rivulet of text running through a meadow of margin ;" it is written with much pathos, and is particularly interesting, being punded wi furl. As it has no doubt ere this reached London, it is needless to enter into a di. tail of the story, but it may be of importance to furnish )ou with a key to the two leading personages that figure in this sentimental tale : Le Chevalier de lim•• is the Chevalier de Bouillers Madame de Bern is Madame de Beau reams, who is related to the reigning family of France. Its character at Paris, among the critics, is that of sun gentil el pu soul earie pour use ifareclude Jr France. As the approaching week is Passion week, our politics will give way to paler nesters, that we may conclude in a becoMing manner the s•:anon of devotion and good works. When that is over—and, likes hill of short date, it has but a few days to run—corruption will resume her activity, and affairs will go on as usual. Et.orevt Exv.—Extract of a letter from Brussels, dated April 6 :—"A most extraordinary circumrtancc has occurred here this morning, which will afford conversation for a month to come. Miss B—gh—n, the daughter and sole heiress of a deceased Baronet, eloped yesterday morning front the house of her mother, Lady B—gh—n, in the Rue Royale. Nut a trace of the fair fugitive has yet been dis covered, nor has she left the slightest clue which might lead to a knowledge of where she has gone to. It is sup ;toted, however, that Mr. T.

Sir JOHN SHELLEY said, that if the cause µ steal, it would have the ..diet of Teddy destroying the stitoly of the game ot the cou•try. After some words from Sir J. SEIIIIIII4IHT and Mr. PEEL. the anwednient Ilik , Ved by Colonel Davila was negatived without • division. No person to kill game without a licence. Mr. K. COI,BIIIIIkI objected u. this clause, because, bowers harriously it was drawn, it viould be evaded by poachers. The better w■ would be, to repeal the laws that prevented the sale of game. It was necemary aho, by this clause, to have the liceree granted by Magistrates, which he objects-d to.

The Paris journals of §atunlay reached us last night bi express. The following are extracts : [Frani the Cumstilmiiionsell Extract Of a private letter, dated Madrid. April I :—The son of thz Marquis of lrujo is appointed Secretary to the Spanish Eta ' basil at M. the Count Retina thirds. who was Ambas sador at 14. bit 1, at the time the Constitution was re-established. id spoken of as the new Spanish Ambassador, at Paths- fie is quite unqualified to replace the Duke of Saa Caries at the Court of France. People are very much astwiiihedk to see all the tromps that were garrisoned in the capita! depart. The authorities who were afraid of remaining at the mercy of the few unorganised Spanish troops, have had great difficulty in °training that four battalions should remain. Neverthch it. the depirtore of the head-quarters is 46- tamined upon; and from the beginning of April, all the hospital and military offices will be transferred to Pinto, Va/demoros, Reams, Chir.chon, and Omta., and Count Rnurmont lodge.. in the King's palace. at Aranmer. Notwithstanding this apparent mot of Carlow, it is &filmed that the Court would see hint set out fat France with as much pkwaure as he would feel at finding himself in the Chamber of Peers, inatesi of witnessing, incessantly, the despair of the perrecuted and the fanatical rage of the peacetimes.

It is believed that the Court will be absent from Madrid fle several months, and that it will visit suceesively Toledo, St. PAlethase, Escuriel, and S ace d on, fur the benefit of its waters. General Bourniont accloyanitni the hang on hix journey to Aran.. duet ; but the French mbaiisclor does not quit this capital. His Excellency will go .tranjurz severnl times dtiring the week to pay his respects to the king. During the absence of the French troops who follow the King to Aranjuez, General Queutia is charged with the care of maintaining order and tranquillity in the capital. Several arrests have taken place nithin the last few days. Amongst the persons imprisited. the Alarquit of Canino, firmer CorniTiaar of 3ladrid, is mentioned. Since the departure of the French fur Aranjues, more than 3AM individuals have applicrr purports. - _ Nut only the ancient national militia-men. but also ail thorns suspected of professing liberal opinions, have been ordered to keep at a distance of fifteen leagues from Aranjues. Arrests continue to take place at Vale.icia. Several moos of distinction, and especially the Marquis of Almaden*, are Waning in the prisons. It is reported, that in a village of C,astille the people broke open the doors of the prison, in which were confined twenty of the an. dent militia-men, which they reused, and replaced by sevaf Royalist volunteers. II ARCH U. The rumour has just hem circulated, that the whole of alio French troops will out rtpsir to the Hoye( residence. This ch is attributed to the reprelentations of the French Ambasiadarn e t is reported that an exprems has been despatched to Paris to ask for special instructions on this important point, and that all InCIT:1 ments of troops will be didayed until its return. DUTCH MAIL. We have received Dutch Papers to the 10th instant. Bausscis, Aram E. A Brussels Journal contains the following article:— betters from Amsterdam inform us, that the agents of four great banking-houses, one at Berlin, the second at Amsterdam. and the two others at London, are treating with King Ferdinand for a new Loan, and the stipulations which they have made for the recogni lion of the Loans of the Cortes have been supported by the ta. direct influence of the French Ministry. It seems certain, how. ever, that the Spanish Government will not recognise in direct terms the Loans of the Cortes, but that in • :ertido degree fluff will be so in fact by the contractors, the King having consented to give them an opportunity to comprehend the Lout of the Cortes its this new Loan. M. de Villyle, it is said, hat employed all his in fluence with Ferdinand fur this purpose, and the Marquis de Talaiu, who had orders to protest, in the name of the Allied Powers, against every act which might be considered as a national bankruptcy, not having made sufficiently urgent remonstrances, it has been resolved, that he shall be recalli:d, and that a new Am. biased°, shall be sent to Madrid. If on the other hand we p az believe the Quotidknme, letters front Madrid of the nth . tively state, that the King. after consulting the Council, has de cided that the Loan of the Cortes is definitively declared null and void. GENEVA., MARCH 24. A decree of the Council of State has ju►t ordered the seizure of • work called The New C'orefiseion, which was on the eve of pub lication by one of our booksellers. By the same decree the bookseller is to be proceeded against for having lightly touched the forbidden fruit of foreign politics. The work is ascribed to a young Frenchman, of the name of Syon. Tbi• is the first application of the new measures adopted in consequence of the resolutions of the Diet relative to the press. It is obserred,that various circumstances having caused the MS. of this work to fall into the hands of the Austrian police in Lombardy, it was re turned to the author, after having been kept some days for ex amination. SWITZERLAND, MARCH SI. ' The diligence, from Coire to Bellinzone, was suddenly o,tf- Wheillied on the 15th by an avalanche. M. Schemerde; Bailer of Itoveredo, and a guide. perished. The otter passengers, twelve in number, the tao guides, and the horses, were fortunately ea. vitiated. A AISTERDAPI, APRIL lU.— Exchange on London, 39 A; TllO months, 39 2. Private accounts from the Crimea state, that the Scotch Nlissionary Carruthers, now settled there, proceeds with the greatest zeal and success in converting the Tartan to Christianity. A great numb:r of them have been bap tized by him. Colonies arc to be established for these converts, and divine service will be performed in the Tartar language. A Turkish shirk and learned man is now re ceiving an education to qualify hart for the office of Chris tian priest. The Bill before the House of Commons fbr amending the Act respecting the British Museum, adds the Presi dent of the Society of Antiquaries, and the President of the Royal Academy, to the number of the official Trus tee:, and gives power to the Trustees to purchase and take. lands. hil9/11 SECRETARYSHIP.—A report has been current for the last few days, that Mr. Goulburn retires from the Irish Snretaryship, and either takes the place of Mr. Lushing ton, at the Treasury, or goes abroad on some splendid ap pointtnent. It is added, that Mr. Frankland Lewis, a gen tleman well known in Parliament and to the public, as a Commissioner of Inquiry, takes the office of Mr. Goulbura. We certainly should be well pleaszil at this arrangement. Independent of Mr. Lewis's paiticr, which are liberal, and which, certainly, would not be to us and to the country the least of his recommendations, he is a man that is tho roughly acquainted with the Irish system. He knows too, perfectly well, the workin,ls of the Corporation against the rights and privileges of the city of Dublin. and will not lend himself to their objects. 'With Mr. F. Lewis as Se cretary, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer as Member for the city, we might reasonably expect that justice will be' done us at last.—Didblis Erenifie P e st.
