Many deople are desirous of changing the present state of
France entirely to its ancient state ; on the contrary, it is neces-
sary to unite both in such a manner, that no more of the latter
should be preserved than the wants of society may require. To
oppose this would be the greatest absurdity that could be practised
in administration; and it will cost very dear to those who persevere
in doing so ; agriculture, commerce, industry, public economy,
finance, education,. war, general administration, the fine arts,
every thing is modified or changed in Francaor.ever. it is
necessary that we should have Deputies thoroughly convinced
of this troth. They alone, can discuss laws, demand regula-
tions, ascertain the system of taxation, the mode of encou-
raging arts and industry, the species of economy, the kind of
public instruction which is necessary for France.—Le Pilote.
Three companies of the 13th regiment of the line, coming
from Montaubon, set out on Monday for St. Gaudens and St.
Girons. Two other companies and the regimental staff are
destined to the same place.
A detachment of horse artillery, and of the train, have also
set out with guns for the mountains, carried on the backs of
mules, to make experiments of a new mode of loading cannon.
Some cavalry is immediately .expected to join the Army of
Observation.

The pacifie intentions of the French Government towards
Spain continue constantly the same; and whatever may hap-
pen, it well knows how to cause our territory to be respected,
and to preserve unsullied the honour of our arms.

MADRID, CCT. 9.—(OFFICIAL REPORT.)
-I have just this instant learnt (7 P.m.) by a .confidential mes-
senger, whom I despatched to Seo-d'Urgel, and who left that
place on the 23d instant, that on the same day, at 5 P.-.3!.,.8ar0n
d'Eroles entered that city with only 12 men ; and that on the
morning of that day 200 wounded men arrived there. He in-
forms me•also, that on the 20th a Te Design was chaunted for
the defeat of Empecinado at Pont-de-Montague ; but accounts
winch have reached us this day announce, that on the contrary
it is Empecinado who has- completely defeated Baron d'Eroles.
I hasten to inform your Excellency of all this. •
