jesty arrived here this evening, at six o'clock, with:
out the slightest intimation of his intention—but as
sot:in as the people were apprised of his arrival, they
crowded from all quarters, and manifested their
sense of the honour conferred upon them by loud
acclamations of joy. Having alighted at the Hotel
of the Prefed, the Emperor gave audience to the
Civil and Military Authorities. His departure is
fixed for four o'clock to-morrow morning.
MONTPELIER, SEPT. 15.—0 n the Itch and 12th
inst. the town of Coca was thrown into confusion,
and kept in a state of alarm. Eleven of the ene-
my's boats, with 200 men, approached 'the shore,
-for the purpose of effeeting a landing, cutting out a
7-convoy lying in the.harbour, and setting fire to the
magazines. The Guard of Honour, together with
the Gens-d' Armerie and the Volunteers, headed by
M. BESCELIN, gave the boats such a warm recep-
tion, that they were forced to return to the Fri.
gates.

The French army in Spain still maintains a strong
and advantageous position. The Spanish insurgents
are quite Inactive. Marshal MoNCEY and his Staff
have been for several days at Pampeluna. The ob-
jea of his Excellency is said to be, to san6lion, by
his presence, the installation of M. NIGRETTPi as
Governor of the Province, and to inspea the fortifi-
cations, which have been deficient in artillery. The
Courier which arrived here this morning does not
bring any news. Anarchy still reigns in that infa-
tuated Country. Our army is making great prepa-
rations to push forward, and wait only for reinforce-
ments, which are hourly expected. They write
from Miranda that 1500 French had been arrested
in Madrid ; but this report is unworthy of credit.

Gospel, to preserve my obedience and fidelity to

reign. I promise, besides, to bold no intelligence
with the enemies of the State, to assist at no Coun-
cil, to have no sort of conne&ion with those who
would disturb the public peace and tranquillity ; and
if I shall come to the knowledge of any plot formed
in any diocese, either against his Majesty's person or
against the State, I swear to make it known to the

disposition which animates the Clergy of the King-
dom Of Naples.

set, where he received the oath of the Marshal PE-.
RIGNON, as Governor of Naples. The Chiefs of the
