BADASOZ, NOVEMBIER 13.

- •
This morning the French garriwn left this City, whet*
it leaves the most honourable recollections, since we
owe to it the tranquillity and peace which we have en-
joyed since the occupation, and that which is prepared
for us in future. General Count d'Adhe;nar is gone to
Cadiz, at the head of the troops, artillery and infantry.
The staff of the artillery, that of the engineers, and the
members of the several offices, go to the head-quarters
at Burgos, under the command of Viscount Barre; de
Molard. The gratitude of the inhabitants of Badajos
to the worthy Commander if the troops cannot be
greater than it is, being equal to the signal services they
have rendered us.

The Governor of Badajoz has published a Proclama-
tion to the citizens, in which he passes the highest eu-
logium on the French troops, and expresses his confi-
dence that the inhabitants, who have hitherto been disi
tinguished by their moderation and goad cvn luct will
persevere in it ; and to he assured that with the co-ope-
ration of the armed force, everything will be done to
maintain tranquillity, to ensure their happiness,•aod
effectually to serve their beloved Sovereign.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
" MADRID, Novimam 18.

The last letters from Barcelona state, that the att.
thorities there are dreadfully embwrrissed to make the
contingent for the army recoiled from that princi-
pality ; for the Government tequiring that none of the
substitutes should have servel either in tie Constitu-
tional Army, the National Militia, nor the bands of
Afiquelels, it is impossible to find in the province a
sufficient number of men exempt from these ebjection,
Recourse, it is thought, must be had to balloting, which
there is no doubt will give birth to violent commo-,
tions. In Barcelona prosecutions have recommenced
)gairtst those who proclaimed the Constitution in 1820.
Numbers of persons have just been arrested, amongst
whom are several rich and respectable individuals.
A young man, belonging to a respectable family in
Barcelona, has been tried by the permanent Commis-
sion sitting there, for having made some disturbante
the Church of St. Monica, while a Monk was preaching.
The judgment pronoitnped upon him is as. follows t
--That not having been able. to find proofs of his cal-
pability, the Court condemns hint (nifty to ttoo years in

last few days an extraordinary sitting, to which thee
new Intendant of Polite, M. Sallee, was invited. The'
grave matter proposed was, to hinder the Count de
Santa Coloma, a Spanish Grandee of the first class,
from receiving company in the evening—which com-
pany is composed-of persons of both sexes of the first
rank in the town, and who have made it a rule not to
utter a single word of politics on these occasions. The
Intendant of Police declined interfering, from his fear
of offending the French Generals and superior Officers
who frequent the house of Count Santa Coloma. The
assas,ii.ations in the unfortunate Province have not vet
ceased, nor will they cease. until a dozen of Alcades
and Curates shall be made examples of by the law—
the former for permitting such murders, and the latter
for exciting the wretched and besotted populace to
their commission. To give you some idea of the im-
mense number that take place, I shall instance one little
village named Sarrahoja, where, during the last year,
fifty persons have been assassinated."

It was very confidently stated yesterday on 'Change,
that advices over land from India had been received
yesterday at the East India-house, and some extensive
sales of the stock of the Company, which were made
soon after, tended to create the belief that they had
brought intelligence of an unfavourable description.
The report was wholly with:tut foundation, as no such
advices wet e received. •

There has scarcely been a day, within the List few
weeks, that we have not had the painful duty to detail
the miseries caused on the Continent by the late inun-
dations; we have now the more pleasing task of an-
nouncing that a subscription has been opened for the
relief of the sufferers, who are upwards of fifty thou-
sand in number. Mr. ROTHSCHILD, with that spirit of
benevolence which distinguisLes his whole life, has been

the first to step forward in this gcod work, with a sub-
scription of £100; to which his amiable Lady (to whom
• Wealth has no attractions but as a means of doing good),
iris added f.. 50. We are sure the British Public will
second their efforts.

Considerable discussion has taken place as to the
Utility of printing Bibles for the Irish, in their native
language, which has been adopted by the Bible Society.
There is no doubt, we believe, that the Irish language
is rather oral than written, and that, numerous as the
persons are that can speak it, there are few among the
peasants of Ireland that can read it with facility. Dean
Swat., whose sincere attachment to Ireland, and wish
to promote her interests, no one will question, was so
far from wishing to encourage the native dialect that
he proposed to abolish it, as the best means of pro-
moting the ci, ilization of the inhabitants. In a work
published on this subject, entitled " Answer to Letters
flow unknown hands," the Dean thus expresses himself
on tlie subject :
