carriage to leave the kingdom. They were taken
to the Prefecture of the Police, and their papers
examined. It is said that they have been set at
liberty, at the intercession of the Minister of a
neighbouring Power, to which they belong. It
is said that there being reasons to suppose that
Gen. Berton and his accomplices have taken
refuge in the forest of Parthenay, numerous di-
visions of troops and Gendarmerie have been
ordered to penetrate into it in various directions.
Every Commander has received orders to employ
every means in his power to take the Chief of
this revolt alive.

" A momentary alarm has been excited at
Chauay (Aisne), by the sound of the Tocsin.—
The people went to the Church, where they
arrested a person who said he was a dancing.
master just arrived from Paris, and that he had
sounded the Tocsin to assemble his comrades.—

In fact, they perceived out of the town several
men meanly dressed, who being pursued by the
National Guard, fled into the woods. A detach-
ment of Curassieurs and Gendarmerie is in pur-
suit of them.

" °BESS(' FEB. 25.—Expresses have arrived

from Bessarabia with the news that the advanced
guard of the Turkish grand army, marching from
Constantinople, is arrived at Braila. This ad-
vanced guard consists of 8000 men.
CC FRANKFORT, MARCH 13.-A letter from
Constantinople, of Feb. 11, states that that city
was surrounded with troops that continued to
arrive from Asia. Large corps were assembling
about Adrianople. The Porte has, for the third
time, offered an amnesty to the insurgents of the
Archipelago.—Many persons think that the
Turkish Government, as soon as it has distri-
buted part of the Janissaries along the Danube,

will endeavour to effect the reform which it has
long projected in the Ortas at Constantinople,
which are very ill disposed.—The Cabinet of
Vienna has assigned to Prince Michael Suzzo the
the town of Goriza for his residence."

It appears by the following extract that consi-
derable apprehensions are felt in Spain respecting
the ulterior views of the French Government in
keeping up the large military force on the Pyren-
ean frontier of France,
,which was originally as-
sembled as a protection against the introduction
of the contagious fever lately prevalent in Spain,
which has many weeks ceased to exist. Expla-
nations on this subject have been demanded from
he F rench Government by the Spanish Minister
at Paris, but the result is not known ; and report
says that the French force in that quarter is to
he further augmented :
" IRUN, FEB. 23.—We think it right to satisfy the un
easy curiosity of the inhabitants of the capital, who think
that we have a formidable French army in our neighbour-
hood, while others believe that the number of troops is
very small. Some carry their fears, and others their confi-
dence, too far ; and it is equally important that both should
know what to think. The fact is, that the French forces can-
toned in the territory which extends from the Landes to the
Eastern Pyrenees, amounts at present to 30,000 men ; but
it is known that they are shortly to be augmented, and that
within a month they will amount to 50,000 men. Every body
will be easily sensible how ridiculous it is to pretend to give
these troops the name of a Cordon of Health. From sto 6,000
men would be sufficient for this service, even if the contagion
should re-appear in the Peninsula, and in the meantime it is
evident that those 5 or 6000 men would be as superfluoUs as
the 30,000 men are—or as the 50,000 will be, which we know
are to be assembled in a very short time along the line of the
Pyrenees."

The statement delivered on 'Wednesday nigh
by Mr. MARRYAT, of the distress prevailing ii

our West India Colonies, and of the causes to
which it is ascribed, went much too far, we think,
for the purpose it was chiefly designed to accom-
plish. With a view of impressing upon Parlia-
ment the necessity of re-opening (and that for an
indefinite period) the commercial intercourse be-
tween our West Indian possessions and the
United States, Mr. MALUtYAT drew a formidable

picture of the embarrassment prevailing among
our Planters, whom he represented as being, in
various instances, on the verge of ruin, without
means to pay the taxes, scarcely able to obtain
credit even for clothing and provisions, sell-
ing lands at an enormous depreciation, and
almost ready to leave off cultivation in
mere despair. The sources of this dis-
tress were stated to be the suspension of inter-
course with the United States, and the low
prices of West India produce. Among several
remedies pointed out by Mr. MARRYAT, the
principal and the most decisive in its character
was, the abandonment of our navigation system
