LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 13, 1824. e yesterday offered some observations to our Readers, on the alleged intention of the French to withdraw their garrison from Madrid. On this subject, we find the following statements in the Moniteur of Saturday, and the Etoile of Sunday. The article in the Moniteur asserts that the intended evacuation of the Spanish Capital will take place in pursuance of one of the conditions of the Treaty of Occupation, which stipulates that Madrid is only to -be garrisoned by the French during the residence in it of the King and the Royal Family. The Etoile, on the other hand, simply asserts that it iS not true that the French troops have already quitted Madrid ; but it says nothing as to the truth or falsehood of the alleged inten tion to withdraw them —an intention, the truth of which is proved by letters received in Londo❑ from Madrid itself, dated the end or March. —\4'e think it very improbable that there is any condition in •the Treaty of Occupa tion for the abandonment of Madrid by the French during the absence of the KING and Royal Family. Supposing that any serious insurrection should render it advisable to re move the Court to a place of strength and security, is it credible that the French have bound themselves, on the occurrence of such an event, to abandon the Capital to the mercy of the insurgents ? If they have, we may rest as sured that it is an obligation which they would honour by the breach, and not by the ob- servance ( From the Moniterer of Saturdv, April 10. ) MADRID, MA ncu SO.—The French garrison which occupied Madrid is to repair to the num ber of 5,000, to the Banks of the Tagus, where it will be cantoned, so as to surround Aranjuez, extending its lines towards Toledo.. This forma tion of a kind of camp has been the subject of many observations ; but persons who are well . in formed, know that by the treaty of occupation lately concluded between France and Spain, the City of Madrid is not to havea French garrison ex cept when the King and the Royal Family reside in it,and that the guarding of them 'sent - rusted to 5,000 French, under the immediate command of Gen. Bourmont ; consequently they cannot see in the cantonments, which the French troops are going to occupy on the Banks of the Tagus, any thing more than the natural result of the treaty of occu pation. _ _ _ [Front the Etoile, dated Sunday.] It is not true, as several Journals hare asserted, that the French troops have.quitted Madrid.

They state the complete arrangement of the mi litary laboratory furnished by the Greek Com mittee, which will be of the greatest importance to the success of the war. Young Greeks, from the age of 16 to 20, have been invited by an ad vertisement in the Greek Chronicle, published at Missoloughi, to become apprentices in the above establishment, where they will be em ployed as carpenters, founders, tinmen, smiths, &c. and where they will receive their rations and a dollar and a half per month. Au English man, who is an experienced engineer, has the conduct of this institution under his care, and is about to form an artillery corps immediately. " At night," one of these letters states, " he lec tures to the officers, each of whom will be com petent, at the end of ten days, to take the com mand Of a gun, and to drill the men belonging to it. Four gun-boats are bailing, each to carry -an eighteen pounder ; these will prevent the Turks from lying at anchor in, or blockading the harbour." Two spies had just arrived from Lepanto; they stated that the Albanians had seized the citadel, and were determined to sur render to the Suliots, who were marching thither. Albania was disturbed by a civil war; Arta was left with only 500 men, and Previsa with 80; mid the letters say," all the prospects of the Greeks are brightening." The engineer above-mentioned had entered into an agreement with the Government for placing'Missolonglii in a complete state of defence, and 1,.5p0 dollars had been placed at his immediate disposal for the purpose, with a sufficient quantity of wood.— Missolonghi is one of the keys of the Morea ; the defence of it, therefore, is very important, and will afford also the best means for org anizing an useful .corps. A t the instance of Lord Byron, twenty-four Turkish prisoners, women and chil dren, have had the offer of being released; nine of them refused it and remained, the rest were sent to Previsa; four others were sent back •to Usuff Pacha, at Patras. A Turkish brig had been run on shore at Missolonghi, and set on fire by the crew, when they found that they could not escape capture ; another was blown up at Lepanto, on the same day ; these, with the one lost at Ithica, had greatly weakened the Turkish naval force. A Polyglot newspaper had been established, called The Greek Tele graph, the prospectus of which was to be sent in a few days to England. Crry, Twelve o'C/ock.--Consols opened at 9611 for the Account, and went up to 961, with little business doing up to this hour, most of the Hebrews being absent this morning from the Market, as to-day is one of their greatest holidays. Consols for Money are 964, at which price they remain steady. FOREIGN AIARKET.—The prices of most of the Foreign Securities remain steady, with little doing. Half-past Twelve.—Consol have lowered a little, and are now 9628 for the Account. The Alien Bill was last night read a third time in the House of Commons. In the course of Mr. DENMAN'S eloquent speech in sup port of an amendment that the Bill be read a third time that day six months, he passed a high and well-merited eulogium on the libe rality and talents of Mr. Secretary CANNING, and in particular expressed his gratitude for the well-timed generosity - of feeling which the Right lion. Gentleman had manifested towards Sir RoBERT WILSON, after the treatment that Gen tleman had experienced from the Continental Governments.—The Report of the Committee of Supply on the Grant for Building new Churches, was brought up on the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.—The Game Laws Amendment Bill went through a Com mittee of the whole House. STEAM NAVIGATION TO INDIA. The following is an Extract from a Letter re ceived yesterday from Bengal, relative to the project of establishing a Steam communication with India. The Committee of Subscribers for this interesting and important object have no intention to involve themselves in the business, but have subscribed the money in order to allot it as a reward to those who may effect the voyages, out and home,- in the least time, but they must engage that the voyages must not be on an average more than from 70 to 75 days : " The Committee have determined to receive 10,0001. to be, appropriated as a bonus. The class of vessels to be restricted to 300 tons as the minimum.—lt is not necessary that the voyages should be two in succession—the same Company may send out two vessels or sets of vessels at the same time—so that two passages out and home may be effected in the same time as one out and one home. The Committee have determined that the bonus should be awarded to the individual or Company whose vessel shall first establish a communication between Eng land and Calcutta before the Ist January 1827, and to perform c two voyages out and two h ome. The voyage out and home to be within an av erag e of 70 or 75 days, either by the route of the Cape of Good Hope or Suez." IRELANn. CONCILIATION of ORANGEiIIEN and RIBBONMEN. LONDONDERRY ASSIZES, Arntn.3. • Mr. ROLLESTON stated, that he had been in formed this morning, and he felt great pleasure in making the communication, that the prisoners, of both the parties, to be tried for being concerned in the fatal . riots in Maghera, in the month of June,last, who were arraigned list night, and sent to jail, had, in the prison, shaken hands, and were mutually willing, for the futare, to abstain from all party feeling, and to live in good fellowship and neighbourhood, and hoped that the Court would allow them to return home without being brought to trial. As such a wish had proceeded from themselves, and had, he believed, been in some degree antici pated by the Counsel on both sides, he would put it as a sug gestion to the Court, whether the discharge of the prisoners now might not tend as much to tranquillize the part of the county from whence they came as proceeding against them by trial.— The Learned Gentleman enforced the suggestion in a strain of very powerful eloquence, and concluded by expressing his anx ious hope that such a measure,' if adopted, would tend perma nently to place the country in a state of repose, and for ever to prevent in that Court a developement of practices similar to those charged against the prisoners. Mr. Justice VANDELEIIR.—If such a course as has been suggested would have the effect of allaying the bad feeling, and preventing such outrages as had unfortunately existed, and had been perpetrated between the two parties, I would be delighted in contributing any thing in the power of the Court towards it. After sonic conversation between the Counsel, The Clerk of the Crown called over the names of both classes of prisoners. They mingled together in the dock, apparently good-natured. Counsellor DEERING (turning round, and addressing the prisoners in the dock), " Are you all willing to be good friends and neighbours, and to be fully reconciled ! ' Prisoners—', 4 Yes, we are." Sir JAMES GALBRAITH wished his " Lordship to permit him to ask the prisoners a question. Are ye----" His Lounsini.—“ Sir James, it might be better not.—Gen tlemen (addressing both sides of the bar), can the Court now proceed ?"—" Yes, my Lord." Ills LORDSHIP then in a most impressive manner proceeded to address the prisoners to the following effect:—" Prisoners, you all stand charged with being concerned in the perpetra tion of an outrage, the circumstances or which . , having been already disclosed to the Court in a trial which has taken place, appears to have been of the greatest enormity, and such as are disgraceful to civilized society.._ . I do not say that any of you are guilty, fur you hare not yet been tried ; consequencescilarge most fatal and such as I never 4 , with participating in an out rage , followed bu t yu a heard before in a Court of J ust i ce. I h ave b een i nformed, b l all stand and know, that this riot origi nated in different party f ee li ng -- a feeling which, if persisted in, will prove ruinous to t h e welfise of the country and to your own individual prosperity. It will' be most satisfactory t o me, 1 . y you are slow cordi ally determined that all past differences and animosity should subside, and that ou shall all live in harmony and good neighbourhood —you have so professed yourselves, and for the sake of the growing Prosperity of this country, and for your own sakes, I bogie that your .determination is sin. cere. If your expressed wish to be reconciled proves honest, your country will feel deeply interested in the occurrences of this day; for the peace of that district in which you reside de pends on the sincerity of your professions. Ido fervently hope and trust that what .you have stated to your Counsel is true, and that you have really determined to live hereafter as good friends and neighbours, and to follow your lawful avocations in amity and cordiality. If Your professions prove hollow, and a mere pretext in order to avoid dreaded punishment at present, and if you should again be brought into this Court before me, or any other Judge, and found guilty of a similar offence, the recollections of this day will be visited on you with augmented severity of punishment; for had you been con victed this day, your punishment would have been severe and exemplary. In the hope that you, professions are sincere, and that you will return home good friends and neighbours, and live in harmony and friendship, t h e Court consents that you now be discharged, on being bound over in 201. each of per sonal security, to appear at the next Assizes if called upon." Counsellor SCHOALES, in a low tone, addressed a few words across the Beßch to his Lordship. His LORDSHIP- 4 ' lam glad you mentioned it, Mr. Schoales. Prisoners, before you retire, let me admonish you, that the best mode of showing the sincerity of what you have now promised, will be, on your return home, to abstain care , fully from any expression of triumph —none of you have had a triumph—you stood charged, and have mutually agreed to be reconciled." Counsellor DEERING—" My Lord, before your Lordship spoke I was also obtaining from the parties a promise to ab stain hereafter from all processions, and irritating displays of different religious feelings and opinions." • His Lordship cordially seconded the object of Mr. Deering, and expressed his earnest hope and desire that the parties would avoid all processions, and displays of party difference. The Clerk of Crown having then repeated the form of the re. cognizance, the prisoners retired. The utmost satisfaction, with this pleasing result, was ex pressed by all present; the intelligence soon spread through the City, and was every where received with feelings of genuine pleasure. In the evening, the individuals of the two parties joined to gether in little harmonious circles; and, over the social glass, forgave and forgot their former animosities. GENOA, MARCH 24.—A decree of the Council of State has just ordered the seizure of a work, called The New Conti!ssion, which was on the eve of publication by one of our booksellers. By the same decree the bookseller is to be pro ceeded against, for having lightly touched the forbidden fruit of foreign politics. The work is ascribed to a young French man of the name of Syon. This is the first application of the new measures adopted in consequence of the resolution of the Diet relative to the press. It is, observed, th at var i ous circum stances having caused, the MS. of this work to fall into the hands cif the Austrian police in Lombardy, it was returned to the author, after having been kept some days for examination. What Lord NORMANBY stated last night, in the House of Commons, in opposition to the Alien Bill, has been erroneously attributed to Mr. LENNARD in several of the Morning Journals. The Duke of YORK transacted military lousi ness with the RING yesterday. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER and a select Party dined with the Princess AUGUSTA yester day. Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, the Earl and Countess of LIYERPOOL left town for Bath. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

Robinson, of London," (according to his card) arrived in this city, on his way to, Gretna Green, with a handsome young English lady, of high connection and great fortune, with whom he eloped, it is said, from Brussels, where she was residing ; but her name was studiously concealed. They were married at Gretna, in the usual summary form, returned to the Bush Inn here, and remained till yesterday morning, (Friday, 9th inst.) .when they set out for London having taken the whole of the inside of the mail-coach to themselves !- (Carlile Patriot.)

Mr. RAE WILSON had the honour to present his• volume of Travels through Turkey, Greece, the lonian Isles, Spain, and France, to his M A.• ESTY on the last Levee-day, and they were gra ciously received. On Monday the sth instant, Mrs. TimaArts's Tragedy, The Vespers ofPaiermo, was performed at the Edinburgh Theatre, before a crowded audience, with the most complete success. The Prologue was, it is said, written by Sir WAr.'rEa. 'SCOTT, and spoken by Mrs. ll:StiiutiNs, who played the part of Constance, and was up plaud-ed throughout for the chaste and correct manner with which she went through her part.— The Play was given out for the following even ing, without one dissentient voice, and we ven ture to breathe a hope that Mrs. II ENIA NS t: ill, in Edinburgh, reap the reward she so justly merits for one of the best written Plays of the present day. LORD NELSON.—The colossal statue of ails distinguished Hero, which flanks the entrance of the choir in St. Paul's Cath e dral, is at present enveloped in scaffolding, raised for the purpose of enabling two eminent Italian ar. tits to complete a cast of the figure in plaster of Paris ; which, when finished, is destined by Government to adorn the Painted sa f o l f t a ue l tr l hw o ta f rra G dns r s e t e pa n kt fn i .o c r h frt, l )h l me o s samept h it e a l m . puo A nrpuo similar f ea L s is, d o fs w " s E a n t o t h b e e DRAWING PARALLELS.-When HANDEL, 'he celebrated musician, died in London, the public Journ is were filled with the praises of the deceased. Capt. aishwood, who had first gained great applause by the exhibition of fire-works at a public festival, brought into company one of the Papers, and read aloud a paragraph, which, after many enc'miums on the genius and virtues of Handel, concluded that he had gone to the only place where his harmony could be exceeded. `" Yes," said a lady present, "and when you die, Captain, they wit have it in print that you have gone to the only place where your works can be exceeded. • CURIOUS- UOINCIDENCE:7-It appears from a Work just published, in the cotton-works in the west of Scot. land, that in two of the principal establishments, -New Lanark and Catrine, the number of illegitimate children is as nearly equal as possible. The amount in both, from a comparison of three years, does not amount in the year to one.in a hundred of the females liable to such a misfortune. r ; fora EXTRAORDINAIty CIRCUMSTANCE.—Att elderly female, la n d f number of years been afflicted in a manlier the skill of some of the most eminent of the faculty, expired a fe w d ays ago under her acute dis order, in the Alms-houses of Ch r i stc h urc h, Su rre y ; When on which opening her body a singular di scover y was ma d e , w hi c h fistrexcited considerableinterest among the Students of Anatomy. The unfortunate deceased had for a long time laboured under the most excessive pain, and the size of her person had lately in creased to an immoderate bulk, which caused her great difficul ty in walk ing, and the symptoms generally were those peculiar to a dropsical complaint : her face was of a ghastly and deathlike hue. In this way she lingered until nature, quite exhausted,. compelled her to resign herself to her bed, where she continued until death put an end to her sufferings, although every remedy was resorted to for her recovery that medical skill could devise. Her body having been opened, a large substance of fie Shy matter weighing 3Ulbs. was found in-ber inside, and the liver was so considerably- altered in its colour and size, that it weighed up wards of 201b5.; so that the unfortunate deceased, during a length of tune, had to endure this burthen, which caused the protuberance of her person, in the greatest pain.. She was CO years cf age. Cunious 1 1 1AnKs.—Last week a woman of the name of GARDNER, residing at Mudford. Somerset, was delivered of a boy who is marked in a most curious manner, viz.—the right hand has the resemblance of a ma g ic lantern, the left hand a conjuring -stick, and o n th e right cheek is a most excellent likeness of what is termed a peep-show. We have every reason to believe that this great curiosity originated from the husband, who gets his livelihood by the art of con juring, having some time since absconded and taken with an other woman. It is said that - the child, at the death of some Gentleman in Cornwall, will be heir to a very considerable estate.—( Dorchester Journal.) Yesterday morning, at the Old Bailey, Senor Jost JOACHIM TERREIRRA de MOIRA, the late President of the Portuguese Cortes, was intro duced on the Bench by Mr. Common Sergeant DENMAN and remained during the day, giving great attention to the trials of the prisoners, and the mode in this country of administering cri minal law, s , . .

The parties .met at a public-honse . ,- where words arose, and the prisoner, nfter receiving a great deal of abuse, struck the deceased, which caused his death. In the course of the evidence it appeared that the deceased was the aggressor, and a doubt existing as to the prisoner having given the blow in his own defence, the Jury gar,: him the benefit of it, and acquitted him. RODISERY 13Y A SERVANT.—EIi:. Whetherell,a young woman, who had lived for six years in t'..e service of Mr. Thomas Hope, was indicted for stealing a piece of plate value 41., the property of her master, on the sth of April, last. The& case was clearly proved against the prisoner and the Jury found her Guilty, but recommended her to mercy on account of the extremely good cha racter she had formerly borne.—The Comvog SERJEANT said the recommendation sh . ould be attended to.

This he was summoned for in Lincolnshire, '*here execution issued.;The insolvent subsequently kept. litigating the' action in a superior Court, whereby the plaintiff was put to considerable expence. Ile afterwards re moved his quarters, and, came .to London, where he was arrested, and confined in the Debtors' Prison. —The -COURT remanded the Insolvent for three months, withiii the walls of the jail. The In solvent replied on the judgment, when Mr. Com missioner Harris desired him down, and .told him, that if his judgment had followed, he would cer tainly have had , three months more, for . a more impudent and p ers e ve ri ng - litigator he never saw 'before. --- THE ARMY. YEOMANICY CORPS.—The following circular has heen sent to the Lords Lieutenant through out the kingdom Whitehall, April 3, 1824. Sin—lt has been determined by his Majesty's Government, that a General Inspection of the Yeomary of .Greats Britain shall take place during the ensuing spring, by a Field Officer of his Majesty's regular fmces, for the purpose of ascertainin g ; the actual state of the Yeomanry throughout the kingdom, with a view of putting them, in such cases as may be necessary, into a more efficient condition. To effect this object with the least ex pence, an arrangement has been made to divide the country into districts, uniting into 'one district the several counties lying most convenient- - for that purpose, and a Field Officer will-..he appointed to examine the condition of all the corps witlin each district. The district in which the county over which -you preside is situated, will comprise and as one officer -will hava to inspect all the corps within that compass, it will be ne cessary to arrange the days and places of meeting in such a man ner us not to allow the day fixed for the meeting of one corps to interfere with the day fixed for the meeting of another in a different county. • I therefore take the liberty of suggesting to you the convenience of arranging, with as little•delay- as'pos sible,- with the Lords Lieutenants of the counties-of the precise days upon 'which the Yeomanry Corps within those re spective counties will be ready for inspection, and having cep:. suited the convenience, as well of the Lords Lieutenant of those counties, as of the Corp 'themselves, if you will have the good= ness to signify to me the times and places agreed upon by all parties.
