LON DON,
NTRsDAY F4FENING, NOV. 18, 1821.

It was rumoured in the early part of the morn-
!lX that the French troops had begun their march
" evacuate Spetu, but we cannot trace the re.
Port to any authentic source. On the contrary,
th"re is reason to Suppose that this measure
1447 be delayed some months, for the last ac-
toillu •
x from Paris and Madrid put it beyond a
INabt that the prolonged stay of the French
Ql/17 has been earnestly solicited by the Spanish
"ernment, coupled with such propositions as,
- expected, will remove the objections of the
e'leh Government to the continuance of their
"nY in Spain.

used in those manufactories. It is also forbidden to persuade,
solicit, or advise the clerks, or workmen, in the said ma.
nufactories, to go to foreign countries to settle or to work
there, or to give instructions relative to the manufactories.—
The penalties are imprisonment for not less than six months,
nor more than two years, and a fine of 500 to 5,000 francs.—
( -Brussels Papers, Nov. 12.)

Frankfort Papers to the 12th instant were
brought by the German Mail which arrived this
morning. They do not contain any intelligence
of political importance, and are chiefly filled
with distressing details of the damage and misery
occasioned by the recent floods in various parts of
Germany. ‘Ve are glad to find it announced
that the waters have begun to subside.

[Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Genoa,
dated Bth November.l

" Recent letters from Palermo, of the lath ult., state that an
Algcrine squadron of six sail had been cruizing on the South
coast of Sicily for several days, calling to most of the vessels
that were sailing along that coast, but had not heard of their
detaining of them ; that one of the squadron went off Tropam,
and saluted the fort, which returned the salute, asked for water,
which was granted.
" On the arrival of his Majesty's ship Tribune, Captain
GLwx, in this port, 'in giving a salute to the King some of
the guns remained unshotted, and one of thte cannon-balls acci-
dentally struck the Albion, of Newcastle, Paulson, and made
a hole in her ; the masts and yards of some other vessels were
struck, but fortunately no person has been hurt by them."

lxnfA.—Extract from a Letter, dated Calcutta, June 0,
1824 For these last three weeks past we have had fine
showers for the indigo, but the rains have now finally set in.
Those in Bengal will have an excellent reason ; hut those in
all the upper parts of India, except Tinhoot, will not clear
their expellees. Indigo will certainly be high this year. The
rate of exchange between Calcutta and London has not lot-
proved ; the Company's paper has fallen two per cent. since the
Burmese war, and would fall still more, but owing to the ab-
surd restrictions which prevent British subjects from buying
land, there is a great stagnation of capital, without fair and
honourable channels for its employment being open."

INDIGENT BLlND.—There is no Institution in
this Metropolis, or in the Empire at large, that
more forcibly appeals to humanity than that
which affords support to those who are deprived
of sight, perhaps the most important of our senses.
The victims of this deplorable calamity must be
in some degree dependent 011 all who approach
them. The Rich, in such a state, may claim
and ' enforce assistanve, but the Poor era
helpless indeed. We regret to hear that
the Institution for this laudable purpose is
not supported with the liberality that might
be expected from the known benevolence of
the British character, insomuch that its funds
are quite inadequate to afford provision to the
numerous candidates who apply. There are now
four candidates for admission into THE INDIGENT
BLIND SCHOOL, who have made an unsuccessful
application for five years, because they have no
friends to back their appeals—their names, we
understand, ure SUTTON, Pain:BAUD, lIOLLO.
WAY, and RUNNIGATE, all in a state Of ILIOSt la-
mentable destitution. We sincerely hope that
on the next Election they will find admission,
and be enabled to learn those arts s kick may
qualify them to support themselves under one of
the► heaviest of human afflictions, and leave room
for others who may hereafter have equal claims
to the assistance of this meritorious Institution.

King of F►tANC his credentials, us British Am-
bassador and Minister Plenipotentiary to the

Slit CHARLES FORDES.—We are sorry to learn
that this Gentleman bus lately been alarmingly
indisposed, but it will be gratifying to the twine-
ous friends of the Worthy Baronet to hear that
he is so much recovered us to be pronounced out
of danger.

The PENITENTIARY at Musmatc, to which the
publiC attention was so much attracted some time back, having
been opened about three months, is gradually increasing
the number of its inmates. Government appears to be anxious.
ly solicitous to wipe away, the opprobrium that has been
cast upon this mist expensive and hitherto unsuccessful sub-
stitute for the hulks and transportation to foreign parts.—
The convicts now sent to the Penitentiary are most carefully
selected, respect being had to their former character,, and
scrupulous attention is paid to the state of their health and
age ; and those only who are sentenced to seven years'
transportation are admitted. A very considerable augmen-
tation has been made in the quantity of food allowed. The
prisoners, on first entering the establishment,. are clothed in
partp:coloured garments of green and yellow ; the two sides
of the Jacket and trowsers. being of different hues; after a
short time the dress is altered to other colours. Such has been j
the caution adopted in receiving convicts into this extensive
place, which stands upon nearly seven acres aground, that noti
much above a hundred have as yet been sent there, ' and these
are males only ; it is said that females will be admitted in the
course of next spring. No visitors are permitted to view this
place, unless furnished with an order from the Secretary of
State.
TIIE BUONAPARTE FAMILY.—It is not CC the
Countess Su RVILLIE/ti, Ex-Qtieen of SPAIN," who has left
Brussels for Italy, but the daughter of' the Ex-King and Queen,
who came from the United States last August to Europe.....
JOSE PSI Bu °Nan A IVVE and his spouse are fairly domiciliated at
Philadelphia, near which he has bought a large estate; and
is termed the Count Ssrvilliers. LttetEx'a son, Prince
CHARLES, lives with him; lie is a corpulent young man, a good
deal like NAPOLEON. The son of JJettostE and Miss PA.
TEILSON is at College at Boston, and sometimes makes one in
their family circle. As the BIT O,NAPARTE family consider their
position unique at pregent, that of deposed Royalty, thg.sevyu
disposed to form alliances among themselves only, and it is be.
lieved that Prince CHARLES is destined to be the spouse of the
young Lady aUuded to, who is by no means beautiful. She
was consigned during heri voyage frotn,New York to the pro-
tection of Doctor STOEOE, who attended NaroLUON at St.
Helena.—(Morning Post. )
ACCIDENT.—ThiS morning, between seven and
eight o'clock, as John Mason, a bricklayer, was
repairing the dwelling house of Mr. James Stour
at Walworth, he was unfortunately precipitated,
by a sudden squal-of wind, from the top of the
building, a height of 30 feet, by which occur-
rence h had his leg broke and shoulder dislo-
cated.

THE KING.

Wrwnson, Nov. 17.—His 111aJt:sTY has not yet left the
Royal Lodge ; although we are happy to state, every symptom
of the King's late indisposition is removed.

Trig CasTr.E.--;.The works in the Castle have been neces-
sarily retarded In some measuie by the late heavy rains; but it
gives us great pleasure to state that the progress made in rend•
vating the south and east fronts are so considerable, as to war'
rant the belief that a few months will make It one of the noblest
specimens of architecture that the union of ancient stability
with modern grandeur ever presented. The new tower, named
after our present gracious Sovereign, " George the Fourth's
Tower," has already risen to a considerable height. and
forms, even in its imperfect state, a pleasing addition to the ge-
neral appearance of the building, as viewed from the Long Walk
and Great Park. The whole of the South side has been raised
to the height prescribed by the plan, and is, in addition, nearly
roofed and floored. The tower at the south-east angle (which
c rnoittncia a most richly-wooded and extensive view over the
o unties of Berks, Surrey, and Middlesex), has been sur-
mounted by a corbelled battlement t This has been since its
completion an object of some curiosity, as it represents the
model on which the greater part of the other towers are to be
completed. The foundations for the magnificent corridor (which,
as we stated some months since, is to be erected on the south
and cast sides of the quadrangle) are also nearly completed.—
When the renovation of this majestic fabric was first contem-
plated by his Majesty, and sanctioned by the unanimous
voice of the Legislature, expectation was raised to a high pitch.
The hopes which were entertained have not been disappointed
and the present appearance of the Castle—disadvantageous as
the view must necessarily be—proves that in a few years the
same fabric that has been the residence of our E:lwards, our
Henries, and our Elizabeth, will claim pre-eminence over every
rival suucture.
