here on the 16th, and was well received by the pa-
triots. There are many conjectures respecting his
return, which is said to be occasioned by the change
in our ministers. It is said that it is in agitation to
form three Neapolitan Legions, which will be sent
by sea to Calabria; but sensible people ask "where
are the soldiers, unless they should be formed of Spa-
niaxls and then a Decree of the Cortes would be
required." The Neapolitan and Piedmontese com-
panies in Catalonia are composed only of 150 men
freeborn, one-kind are Spaniards. Others pretend
that Gen. Pepe will have a command in Catalonia;
but this too would be against the constitution, which
doclares that no foreigner can have a chief command
in the national army. At all events, his return is
supposed to have some political olsject.
The proceedings of the Provisional Government
at Urge!, the Congress at Verona, and the prepara-
tions making,in the French fortresses on the Pyren-•
aces, excite great attention ; the fears of a foreign'
invasion increase so much, that in political meetings
we already hear of people speak of plans of defence,
of alliance with Portugal, and eveqrwith England,
to which all kinds of concessions would be made.
It seems, in fact, more than probable, that the treaty
with Portugal will soon be oonclndcd; and, on the
other hand, vary great hopes are built on the aid of

The trifling war carried on against the factious

fugees continue, however, to pay the debt of grati-
tude for the hospitality allOrded them.

the extent of cleared ground in tile vicinity now for

exlithited by these old soldiers in their cottages. was most
gratifying to his Excellency, who distributed amongst
them a number of coffee plants, for the extensive culti-
vation of which the more elevated grounds on Tamara
appeared admirably adapted. His Excellency also vi-
sited the island of Factory, where it was found that the
encouragement given the natives there in the extrusion
of their rice plantations has been attended with the best
effects; a very considerable portion of that island is espe.
dally suited lot the production of that article, which is
so advantageous to the cultivators, and at the sante time
so important to this colony, whether for exportation or
home consumption. The increase of population in the
different islands, since the period they were taken posses-
sion of by his Excellency, must he considerable, settlers
