Two camps are about to be formed upon the frontiers of
France, towards Spain, but whether the forces they contain
are to stand as corps (y- observation, instead of the army of
occupation, or to aid it in case of need, is not at present
made known. We are informed the intention is to prepare
for the evacuation of the Peninsula. The fact of the
formation of the camps, we are enabled to say, is Certain.
Positive orders have been received at Bayonne for the
immediate preparation of a camp at the domain of Marne
(about a mile from the gates of the city), for the reception
of 15 battalions of infantry, each to consist of GOO effective
men, making in all 9,000 men. Two regiments of cavalry
are also named, which will canton, fur the sake of
forage, at the village of Ustarritz, about three leagues from
Bayonne, and at St. Jean de Luz. The like arrangements
are taking place on the side of Perpignan. The arrange-
ment of the park of Maroc for a camp has actually com-
menced, and is continued with activity. A suitable train
of artillery will be attached, so as to form a complete di-
vision, at present called the division of reserve. The 6th
French regiment of the line, at present in garrison at
Pampeluna, are under orders to march to Madrid, to rein-
force that garrison ; they will be replaced by a regiment
immediately expected at Bayonne. Vittoria, Burgos, San-
tander, and Corunna, daily present some disturbances, and
the loss of lives frequently is the consequence.—Glube and
Traveller.

M Extro.—Papers received by the Editor of the Plata-
' delphia 'National Gazelle contain a full account of the mi-
litary sedition in the island of Sacrificios. A corrupt un-
derstanding bad been established between a small number
of the soldiers there and the Castle of Ulloa. The affair
does not appear to have bad any ramifications, and termi-
nated with the execution of several of the culprits. It is
hoped that a powerful effort will speedily be made by the
Mexican Government to dislodge the Spanish royalists at
the castle of Ulloa, for as long as their presence is suffered
to pollute the Mexican soil, attempts will he made to seduce
the ignorant and protect the disaffected.—Boston Papa,
Jane 14.

it again.—Nrte York Gazette.

11:"e understand that there is now in the Fees an his-
torical novel, entitled tl•.e Hof earts Sled. It is from the pen of
an author who has sent forth several successful works. The am-
: elation front which the forthcoming novel takes its name had ren.
dered itself extremely formidable throughout the northern parts of
Ireland about the beginning of the late King's reign. A%a hope
~that the author has availed himself of the opportunity afforded by
bis rabjcct to tbrow sou: libht ou the preceedinga of that period.
