PARIS.

The following letter has been sent to us for publicuie.
We have received one also from our Paris Correspond,la
which we shall ley before our readers on Monday :
Nov. 2.
For some months past the Frenc Cabinet has been d:-
hating whether the Army of Occupation should be yrel.-
drawn from Spain, a measure which many serious rtvur,
rt inlet-cif almost nee r esary. (inc of the principal was die
conduct of the Spanish t ioverninent, which refused to
to the influence of flat, French Cabinet. The deplorat.ic
state of the Peninsula, the anarchy that prevails in it, the
arbitrary proceedings and the disorder of its Adininima.
ikon, the rigorous alecrees of Ferdinand, convinced et!.
Ministry and the Ministers of the Holy Alliance, that ca.
traurdinary nuasurea were urgently called fur to bring
Spain back to a happier situation. Many proposa!,
made to Ferdinand's Ministers. An amnesty was derind
which should not be a list of proscription, a new pie& of
government, the recognition of a part at least of the Icani
of the Cortes—in short, securities for a return of a !Aim
order of things. All thew Froposals have been of no avaA ,
the iiitluei.cc of the Apostolic Junta which, governs Eh:
Peninsula, has opposed insupertable ohstachs to tLe re.
stahlislimen t of order.

The continuation of the abode of the French array is
Spain would have been consieervd as a sanction givtn. it
France to the course followed by the Supreme Authority
in Spain, and France could not take upon itself such a
sponsibility. It has therefore been decided in the !rt
Councils of the Ministers, that the army shall leave Spain,
except 22,000 men, who will occupy Cadiz, Barcelona, and
St. St bast:an. These 22.000 men will not be consideted
as an Army of Occupation, there will be no Central
Chief nor Intendant-Genf rid. These troops, exetpt these
which remain at Cadiz, being all in frontier towns, aill be
provided with all they want by the French military Lords,
in the same manner as those in the interior of the klti,tdorn.
'rids wcasure will reduce, by 800,000 francs per thumb,
the extraordinary expenses for the army, which have
amounted hitherto to two millions. All the contracts
negotiating for the supply of the troops in Ins, have bent
suspended. Several expresses have been sent to Mairil tc
announce this important decision.

It is difficult to foresee all the consequcr•.ces of tbia
event ; but one of the most certain is this, that a 60 war
will most likely break out with great inveteracy in OA
Peninsula, and that the interference of a foreign army w 4
become more necessary than um, for continued perm-en:kw
will rouse resistance, and it cannot be foreseen what may
be the result.

The French Ministry is still the object of the attach
of all parties. The most decisive answer it can male is,
that it still subsists ; and that it is now very rliffirult to
determine the limit of its duration. The king; might,
perhaps, have yielded to the solicitations which case from
all quarters, had he not apprehended that by charitonhis
Ministry lie should tidy give rise to new remonstrances, as
urgent as those which have been addressed to him on
since he has ben on the throne. It certainly was ra
difficult to pull down what already existed, but to kilts
how to replace it. de Villele, awaiting his destiny is
his palace, smiles at his numerous adversaries. Messrs. de
Cerbiere and Peyronnet have made no change in the moer
of their administration ; and the other Ministers, of whein
nobody speaks with harlantss, seem to take no interest in
the war of tile journals and coteries, the result of whit
may, however, endanger their political existence.

A special meeting of the Bailiff's. Conservators, and Com-
monalty of the Corporation of Bedford Level, took place on
Wtduesday last, at the Shire-hall, Ely, fur the purpose of
electing a Register and Auditor, in the room of the hie
Robert Bevil!, Esq. Numbers of the hundred-acre-men,
and other persons interested in the election, were assembled
at Ely on the occasion, and gave that city an appeararce
of bustle and animation altogether unusual. Four candi-
dates had ofkred themselves to till the vacant situation. vi:.
Charles Jenyns' Esq., F. K. Eagle, Esq., Samuel WeP.s,
Esq., and Mr. R. Btvill, sun of the late Reglster • Lot
Ilr.
Alr. ilevill having resigned, and it being understood that
31r. Eagle declined standing the poll, a closely contested
election was expected to take place between Mr. Jen% r.s
and Mr. 11-ells which excited great interest among the
proprietors of Xdverturer's land. At twelve o'clock the
Earl of Hardwick entered the Court and took the Chair.
The discussion on the respective merits of the candidati
occupied considerable time, and upon a show of bands
favour of Mr. Wells, a scrutiny was demanded by ..I.e
friends of Mr. denyns. the result of which was as rollout

who took the Chair in the absence of the Earl of plan;

ter, which was received with great applause.

The Ayrshire weavers are all profiting by the strike
made by the Glasgow weavers against Mr. Ilutchisoc.
Such is the demand for that gentleman's work, that it lia•

previously paid very low by other houses. In Gal--to:.

Ilutchiron's weavers. In Nlauchliti, where tlrre are 9

wages average from 13s. to IGs. a-week. In NewnArt,

No such accident has happened.
