expedition, are completely wined and equipped,
and their crews of the felt complement. The most
distinguished naval racers have been selected to
command them. Numerous transports are already
assembled in the Bay of Cadiz, and more are ex-
pected front Barcelona, Bayonne. and England.
The army of the expeditio►► will he composed of

have requested a service under him.

MADRID, MARCH .

Most of the vessels, with troops for Lima, which
sailrol list year, have been unhappily captured by
the Insurgents, whose Chiefs have employed all
kiwis of means to induce our soldiers to enlist under
then• banners ; they have unhappily not been un•
successful, since it is affirmed that a third part have
given ear to the voice of seduction, and entered
into the armies or the Insurgents. The others,
however, ()titling the voice of honour and their
country, have resolutely refused to join in this
shameful defection. Such are our last accounts
from the Ilaviiiinah, which are of a very recent date.
One account adds, that ►f credit ►nay he given to
the reports in circulation, the city of Quito, in
Peru, has raised the standard of revolt, and it WAS
even asserted that Lima hail followed the example.
Such are the accounts in circulation here, hut as
they are founded oil private communication only,
we flatter ourselves that they are either unfounded,
or at least much exaggerated.

The great roan from this city to Cadiz, which
via% unsafe some time ago, particularly on approach-
ing the Sierra Morena, is now quite free, and en•
tirely cleared of the banditti who infected it. The
couriers and travellers to and from Andalusia are no
longer escorted. Some military posts judiciously
distributed have adfficed to secure the communica-
tion in all La Mauch*.

SIMMS, MARCH 13.

We learn from the French frontiers that the
French Minister of War cuntioues in the further or-
ganization of the French army,to place as far as pos-
sible the Ocers w ho have served in the old army on
active service, and that his conduct is therefore highly
extolled by 11141/y persona, particularly by the officers
on half-pay. They begin now to think on the or-
ganization of the reserve, that is, of the men who,
being old soldiers, may be called out in case of
fired. It is calculated that the number to which
the organization will extend in all France, at
125,000 men. In every mititar7 division a separate
corps is to be formed of this reserve. The depart•
mental legions receive, from time to time, nu-
merous detachments of reunite 'from the depart-
ments. According to the recruiting law, the
two regiments of the Royal Guard in garrison at
Lille and Valeaciennes alone receive volunteers,
but great caution is ►till observed in the choice of
them. 17. Iron the whole, the French army int-
prior s daily. Several persons residing here (at
Brussels) have hero summoned to Paris as witnesses
in the trial of Cantillon, accused of an attempt to
assassinate the Duke of Weilirigton. The French
Ambassador has received in.tructions for the pur-
pose from the Minister Pir Foreign Affairs. It is
that the Duke himself is summoned as a
witne,s.

LONDON,

MONDAY, MARCH 22, Itl9.

A 1)litell M.iil arrived last night with Papers to
the 17111 instain. Intelligence from the 1' much
frontirrs states, that the Minister of War is placing,
as tir as i 105511,1,,, the Officals of the old army on
active seiVlee. Thus, while the Government calls
the Statesmen of BON APA RTE to its aid in the Se-
nate, his buidiert co-operate in the ranks.

Accounts from Madrid in Brussels Papers re-
ceived last night, state, that the grand expedition
will sail from Cadiz in May, for South Ame-
rica. This will probably prove a vain boast; but
should the Spanish Government be aide to dispatch

a considerable force for that destination, we may
confidently presume that the troops, sympathising
with those which preceded them, will serve not to
assivt the Royal cause, but to swell the ranks of its
enemies. There is a further chance that it will
arrive too late.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday last, which have
arrived at our Office, contain an account of the
financial state of France, as it was detailed to the
Chamber of Deputies by the Minister, in the sit-
ting of Tuesday.
The Journql des Debuts, which contained the
account we published on Saturday respecting the
partial disturbances at Nismes, has not arrived at
our Office with the other Paris Papers. But the
Gazette de France, without noticing the article in
the other Jourital contains a very different version
of the story. It appears that a player mimed
Met, farms the Fs ydeau, had arrived in Nistnes,
and ►t beiiig announced that the subscriptions at
the theatre would lie suspesided doting 111* perform-
ances, souse altercations took place betweet. the
register and the subacriners. Hart, however, seems
to have been received very favourably, bolt during
the representation of the first act of clean de Paris,
soffit gi (nips of three or four individuals called out
•• Jive le ttoi P' This cry farms very Moonset in its
)et it immediately put the iyoliceia requisition
for tlw purpose of dispersing the noisy individuals; •
but the voice of authority was overwhelmed by
.bouts of " Vive le Nei !" and s• Vivent les
Bourbons ." The exertions of the police to re-
store tranquillity being fruitless, they seized one
of the disturbers, but the populace still uttering
their shouts of loyalty, rushed through the streets,
attacked the officers, and rescued the prisoner.
From that moment the violence increased, the
people bore down opposition, until the interfer-
vice of the military succeeded about midnight in
restoring tranquillity. •
Throughout this statement there is an evident
desire to suppress the truth—the account is wholly
improbable, and if we were not assured that no ill
consequences had flowed from the tumult, and that
tranquillity had been restored, we might be in-
duced, from such a narrative, to consider the cir-
cumstance of more importance than it really was.
Such is ever the consequence of a deviation from
truth, and wherever such a system of misrepresen-
tation is encouraged, it argues en ackuowledgineut
of weakness in the Government.

On Wednesday last the Alfred transport arrived
it Plymouth, with timber. for the dock-yard there,
which was cut in the forests around Sierra Leone.
She had a tedious passage of ten weeks. The
Echo, Rows, with a number of Missionaries on
board, had arrived out in the short space of nine-
teen days, from the Downs. Lieutenant BENSON,
and pact of the crew of the Cherub, who were left
on the coast iu a detained alave-trading s!iip, are
come home. The nefarious trader, though most
evidently engaged in this contraband commerce,
could not be condemned. Many of the principal
clauses in the several Treaties on this subject are so
confused, and evasively worded, that, combined with
the want of judicial authority in the Admiralty
Court at Sierra Leone, the cause of slave-preven-
tion is almost hopeless. The Tartar, Commodore
Sir GEORGE COLLIER, K.C.B. was cruising to
leeward ; hut the coast swarmed with schooners
taking in slaves. thousands of whom were shipped
every month fur the ilavannah and the Brazils.
The three expeditions in progress for the disco-
covery of the source of the Niger, had all united
at Cadens, where they were waiting for fresh sup-
: plies of presents and stock from Gambia, their
original supply having been exhausted. The French
putt of the expedition includes men of very con-
inderabte literary and scientific talents.

with peculiar interest at a moment when the ques-
tion of Reform so much engros.es the public mind.
