Ameng t. considendde aims
culations in the public funds, one is
it is said must be declared by a person who holds a
high financial employment.
We have accounts from Madrid, dated the Sd
intlant. The city was tranquil, and despatches had
been received from the Count del Abisbal and Gen.
• Velssco, detailing the advantages obtained over
Bessieres, whose banditti had been routed on all
points.
Yesterday we received, by en •exteaerdinary con-
veyance, accounts from Madrid, which announce
that the speech of the King on opening the Chant-
Len had arrived in that city. Its vontenti appear to
have created it great fermentation in the public
mind. These was no idea of the ministerial changes
winch have been the subject of report.
Accounts Isom Marseilles state, that barracks are
preparing in the neighbourhood of that town fur
troops either to be embarked or disembarked; which,
it is not yet positively known. It is known, how-
ever, that this basiucas relates to the preparations tar
the expedition in the d'yrenees.
Bavouria, F ES. 7.—The remainder of the French
Legation has just arrived tits Pvludrid, and the
whole suite of M..Lsgarcre, who will immediately
set out for Paris. The Envoy of Prussia left this
place for Paris yesterday.
The preparations for war continue. The first co-
lumn of the troops which are on their march from
the interior, is expected on the 17th; they will ar-
rive successively till the 20th of next month. These
new reinforcements arc estimated at 15,000 men,
independently of the 10 or 12,000 whom we have
already in this country. The troops in our garrison
do duty as in time of war, and every thing assumes
a hostile appearance. We expect M. Sicard, the
new intendant-General of our corps of the army, us
well as u great number of military emplOyer.
The accounts which we receive from the frontiers
of Spain speak of the effect whien the King's speech
has produced there. The Serviles impatiently ex-
pect the entrance of the French troops, and the
Constitutionalists arc preparing to receive them.—
They continue to fortify and provision Pampetuna
and St. Sebastian, but the latter place will not be
in a condition to resist an attack.
Several French vessels in our wort, which were in
lading for distant ports in Spain, toad even four that
were intenlal fur Lisbon. have re-landed their
goods, and their voyage is deferred.

" FRANKFORT, FL D. 7.-1 have already told you
that Prince Metternich came to Munich with a
letter front the Emperor to the King of Bavaria, in
'which it .was said, among other things, I send you,
my Chancellor, to explain to you the acts of the
Congress of Verona, and to inform you of my views
and wishes as to the uffaini of Gerintlity.' These
views 'were explained in a memorial presented by
the Prince to the King, and were principally directed

act of the Congress of Vienna, relative to the liberty
