LONDON,
MONDAY APRIL 12, 1524.

in a preceding column we have given extracts
from the Foreign Journals received since our
last. Spain continues in a lamentable state of
disorder and degradation, and as the French
troops nre about to be withdrawn from Madrid,
it is feared that the capital itself will soon become
the theatre of violent commotions. This, how-
ever, will furnish the French with a pretext, not
only for returning to Madrid, but for prolonging
the military occupation of the rest of Spain
for an indefinite period. It is singular that the
same Bayonne intelligence which states that the

experiment is to he tried of committing the tran-
quillity of Madrid to the keeping of the

troops of the Faith, also mentions as a report
that it-is intended to send 6000 additional French
troops into the Peninsula, and which, if well
founded, is a clear indication that the pretended
experiment as to the spirit of Madrid, is in rea-
lity nothing more than an artifice devised for the
Purpose of impressing Europe with the idea that
the continuance of_the French army in Spain is a
measure of indispensable necessity. The Paris
Papers of Friday, however, state, as intelligence

front Madrid to the beginning of. the present

month, that after the. French garrison had made
preparations to quit the capital, and to encamp in
the neighbouring villages, the order was suddenly

countermanded,' as well as the departure of the
Marquis of TALARU. Much alarm had been felt
by the respectable inhabitants when it was an-

nounced that the French were to retire, as they
founded their security from plunder and assassi-
legion on the presence of their conquerors. If
this be true, the mere expression of alarm may
be put forth by France as sufficient evidence
for the necessity of continuing her friendly
surveillance • and if hereafter it should be
thought advisable to adduce still stronger
Proofs of the impossibility of leaving the Spa-
Itiards to take care of themselves, the pro-
ject of evacuating the capital can be at any
time revived; and the soldiers of the Faith, either
from their own spontaneous dispositions, or in
pursuance of a preconcerted plan, will speedily
furnish the foreigners with abundant special rea-
sons for returning to their present quarters.—
The sudden, though partial change which has
been effected in the Portuguese Ministry has ex-
cited the hope that a less arbitrary spirit will in
future be manifested by the Cabinet of Lisbon,
and that one of the first fruits of the triumph ob-
tained by the more moderate party will be the
Speedy promulgation of an amnesty.—From a
letter in the Italian papers from Alexandria,
it would appear that the Porte is endeavour-
ing to cajole the Pacha of Egypt by glittering
presents and splendid appointments into an
abandonment of the independent policy which
be has adopted ; but other private letters state
that the Pacha is well aware of the nature of the
snare prepared to entrap him, and as he knows
that the fatal bow-string would be the sure re-
ward of his putting himself again within the
power of the Divan, that he is more than ever de-
