as Amtiassador to this Court,'and M. de Rotte is named in
his place Secretary to the French Embassy. The French
, Chamber of Peers, at its meeting on Thursday, nominated
two Cotnn.ittees, one of seven, and the other of five Mem-
bers, on the Law of Recruiting, and the Septennial
66 Projet." The first was composed of the Marquis de
Lally, de Posteret, the Count Portalis, the Marquis
de Bonndoy, the Count de 5....a', the Count de La-
forest, and the Count de Castellane. The Members
lof the second were--Suchet, the Duke de Albufera,
the Marquis de Vieinanil, the Viscointe Dejeon, the
Duke de Briesac, and the Marquis de Latour Maubourg.
The Chamber of Deputies, on Friday, were assembled in
the dir:rcnt " Bureaux," in local Committees of no poli-
tical interest. The Committee which had to report on the
eligibility of Benjamin Constant to the Chamber, did not
meet on that day. The object is to keep him out of the
Chamber by " finesse," as long as possible.—From our
Bayonne letter it will be seen that the usual horrors con-
tinue in Spain. It appears that Cordova, on the 19th of
last month, was the scene of frightful atrocities. The in-
fernal Royalists had resolved to assassinate all those of the
Constitutional Party, and chose St. Joseph's Day for the
hellish sacrifice. The wretches, however, succeeded but in
part; seven victims only sunk under their weapons; the
rest were rescued by French troops. At Seville, hot-
rible tumults of the same description existed ; seventeen
persons had been extcuted in that city. In fact, there,
was nothing like ,tranquillity of peace in almost any
part of unhappy Spain. The French troops were to leave
Madrid on the lit of April, end- go into cantonments.
Questa: and hittlands of the Faith were to preserve tran-
quillity in their place. New executions were 'taking place
in that capital, and two iadirrkluals were hangedon the
29th. Quesada had received, U the barren reward of his
services, the Grand Cross of St. Ferdinand. Such was the
state of Spain, that a reinforcement of 6,000 additional
French troops were, it a said, to enter it immediately. Ac-
counts from Rime to the 31st of March, brought by a
special courier to Paris, state the death of the Duchess of
Devonshire in that city, on the SOth. She was long distir.-
guished in that capital by her munificent protection of the
Arta. The Duchess lived with splendid hospitality in
Rome, and expended large sums in excavating the ruins of
the " eternal city." Her death will be universally re-
gretted. The remains of Miss Bathurst, whose untimely
death we had to record with inimingled regret, have at
length, it appears, been found. They were discovered near
Ostia; the Tiber bad dragged her body across the ruins of
Rome.

ambition of France is again reviving, ender the Bourbons
Such results were long since anticipated as the consequences
of the career of the French arms during the past year in
Spain. The vanity and ambition of the wretched Angnu-
leme have been roused by his unrcsisted triumphs within
the Pyrenees. A large army, flushed with Spanish con-
que..t, is now or foot in France, and will not be tranquil
without employment ; plausible pretences will soon be
found to warrant aggressions, on the part of this restless
soldiery, which must of necessity involve Great Britain.
The peace that now prevails through Europe, from mere
exhaustion, will not, we fear, be of long continuance —The
Italian Papers state that sever.l Tartars had arrived at
Alexandria, from Constantinople, offering the command
of the Ottoman armies against the Greeks, to the
Padre, Mahomed Ali, with deceptions &mans and pelisses
of honour, proposing also to cede the pachalic of Dames-
CUB to him. Mohamed Ali, however, is too subtle and
powerful to 1* caught in this prepared trap. He will net!
!surrender his present independence for a dangerous coin-',
!mend of this sort. lie has already avowed his revolt, avid
is preparing to maintain it by force of arms. The wily
Dacha is organising a powerful body of troops, disciplined
in the saMe army as those of Europe. His Staff-officers
are distinguished by splendid uniforms and decorations; !
and an entire regimmt, called the 6th of the Line,
commanded by a renegade, who had embraced the Mos-
lem faith, under the name of Soliman Bey, was
expected at Alexandria. This corps consists of not
less than four thousand men, with a company of gre-
nadiers and voltigeurs, bearing white standards, and a
hand of music, its entire ccmpocition opposite to
the settled principles of the Ottomans. But the
Egyptian Pacha has discrimination enough to see that it is
only with such troops he can hope to make head against
the tumultuous, rabble that compose the Turkish forces,
and he has acted accordingly; he will not leave Egypt, to
yield his neck to the mutes of the seraglio, who have the
fatal bow-string prepared. Mohamed Ali has far different
views; lie has accomplished most important changes
throughout Egypt already since his accession to its Govern-
ment, and will probably add Syria to his dominions before
long. The most interesting contents of the Brussels, Ber-
lin, and other papers, will be found to follow:

have hitherto been chiefly furnished by the American% sod
from the scanty and precarious supply of winch they are
very often in a starving state. The produce of these valu-
able and thickly-sown islands is very little known to
Europe. The spirit of commercial enterprise, or of scien-
tific research, have never yet been directed to the trea-
sures of the southern continent. We have hitherto
been satisfied with the dieeeerers of these Islands; but
the hidden stores of wealth which they contain still
remain to be turned to account. By their first dis-
coverer, ALONZO SATEDRA, they were called the Islands
of SotomoN ; 211(1 the distinguished nal isators, DE
Qt•Esos and TORS; a, who visited them two centuries
ago, not only report that the country is highly beautiful
in prospect, ar.d extremely fertile in produce, but that it
abounds alb., with everything which has hitherto been
accounted riches ; such as gold, silver, precious hones,
spices, and other products of equal value. They state
themselves otiy to have visited the roost; but this fortifies
their testimony, :Intl should animate us to stilhgrester ex-
citement ; for although the coasts arc alwayi the ntosf
populous districts, in consequence of the ad vantates aftbrded
Iby the vicinity of the sea, yet the richest, part elf te
country is its interior, which the mercantile "rm.=
lator always explores with the best returts of profit.
The Dt:Tell EAST INDIA COMPANY has pow, by their
Charter, to direct settlements either in New ()nines from
the Moluccas, or in New Holland from Batavia. Itut the
fear, we presume, of exciting the jealousy of rcat
lain, as well asof drawing its attention to the valise and int-
' portance ef these country s, by establi•hing colonies in them,
has withheld them from the atte:npt. Their i rudence
alcne has put this restraint upon their inclination : and
could the obstacles which their discretion has thiwn in their •
way be removed, their intention, which has been oftentimes
strongly manifested, would soon be carried into effect. It
is certain,—although the circumstance was not genera:ly
known,—that the COVERNOR-GENPRAL or. BATAVIA
some time since sent a sloop of war to the Sultan of Soo'oo,
with presents of considerable value, which were favourably
received, and the Sultan wrote, with his own Itand, a let-
ter of acknowledgment. This overture, we know from au.
thority, originated in a desire on the part of a Dutch to
establ6h a settlement there, to the exclusion afthe Eng.
lish, and a readiness was expressed to adopt any measure
that might lead to the attainment of that objtat. So fro
from having abandoned, they are still anxiously intent
upon it. The promptitude, therefore, with which Los*
e)
asATIICRST has acted, cannot be too warmly praised. No
step could have been taken of more importance in Its re-
atilt to the mercantile interest than this settlement,
stationed on a spot every way fitted to facilitate our foreign
commerce, and to strengthen the resources *nig bide

E•YONXE, APRIL 3.
With the news from Madrid of the 211:h we have a letter from
Cordova of the 21st, which curtains the following statement :
'• The day before yesterday was a day of horror and desolation.
The absolute Royalists had resolved to assassinate all the Consti-
tutionalists, and obese for the execution of their plan St. Joseph's
day. Fortunately they succeeded but partially ; seven victims only
perished. More French troops, It was said, might be expected in
the city, which would be very desirable, to keep the people in awe."
From Seidl, they write that much disorder prevails there, and
that the people commit the most scandalous excesses, that there is
no tranquillity citkirksy day co by Rig* 17 persons have just been

" Several Tartars have arrived within these few days from Con-
stantinople, with firmans and pelis,es of honour for oar niche, who
is appointed Commander-in-Chief against the Greeks. Daniascm
will be ceded to him.

•. Our regular troops daily increase, and the regiments are or-
poised and equipped in the European planner. The staff officers
in particular have splendid uniforms, and weer a sun, a moon, and
a star of brilliants on the breast. We expect in a few days the 6th
rtginseat of the line, commanded by Colonel Sene, who boo em-
braced the Mahometan religion and is called Soliman Bey. This
corps is of 4,000 men, and beg one company of grenadiers and one
of voltigeurs. The standsrds are white, the drummers black. A
band of music is expected from Europe.

seven Royal volunteers. It is certain that numerous exteutiots
arc going to tate place. Heavy contributions are going to
be laid on Madrid. The moment is not favourable. The money
raised by the Contra de Surds will be soon exhausted ; it will
hardly cover the first expenses of the journey of the Court to
Aranjues, for which place it set out_on the 27th. The same day
the funeral obsequies of the celebrated Viauessa, whose remains
were removed to the Jesuits' College of St. Indore, were celebrated
with great pomp. A funeral oration was pronounced on the de-

that his body has remained in a perfect state for these three yeura,

STOCKHOLM, BlAacn 26.

General Quesada, who remains at Madrid with his troops, is I
said to have made himself answerable fur the preservation
of tranquillity. All persons even suspected of liberal sen.
timents, have been ordered to remove to the distance of
fifteen leagues from Aranjuez. This measure appeared so
severe, wren under present circumstances, that some remonstrances

Pan of the equipages of the Priors and Princess Royal left this
city yesterday. Their Royal Highnesses depart on the Bth of
April.
The question of the free importation of foreign manufactures
cannot get decided by the Government. It scents, however, that
preparatory .reps have been taken, and diplomatic communications

were ventured on ; but instead of their being listened to, it is ap.
prehended that those who ventured to make them will suffer for
their rashness. No stranger will be allowed to stop at Arenjues
more than 24 hours, without an express permission of the Govern-
ment. The late execution of some robbers have not deterred those
who follow the same profession. The only three diligence' in Spain
were robbed on their last journey. Considerable quantities of wool,
lately sent from Segovia to Catalonia, were pillaged on the road.
Many pe sons at Madrid were greatly averse to the Ki is s depar-
ture. His Majesty's absence, they said, has too often been the signal
for great misfortunes. It is said that the King will be absent at least
six months. Some troops were sent bcroft to guard the mad by
which the Royal fatuity was to teasel. Some tzars arc entertained
that when the French troops have left the capital disorders will er-
r sue. There has been'a report of he ittention to banish 7.001, CT
8.000 persons front Madrid; but that Mr. Argona, the superin..
tends/it of Police, opposed this rigorous measure, and represented
to his Majesty the danger of such a peascription. However, several
persons have been exiled, witseeistill Chiefs of the Militia, Mem.
ben of the Alunicipality, &c. •
All the French, except the Ambassadors, leave Madrid the first
of April, to go into cantonments at some leagues from the capital.
The Gerdes du Corps are going to occupy Cordova ; no more will
remain at Aranjuez than are absolutely necessary to do the duty.
The troops arc dissatisfied with this removal, aed the officers say,
it is enough to be in Spain, without being banished into the vit.
loges. The executions hare began ; two persons were hanged on
the 29.11. On the same day numerous processions paraded all the
streets of the capital. The snldicrs of the Faith, who are recog-
nised by the diversity of their uniforms, have taken possession of
