The KING if expected to arrive this evening at St.
Jame 4 Palace, where preparatiOns base been made for
his MAJIISTY'S reception.

The Quarterly Official Account of she Revenue will
be made up this evening at the Exchequer Office, and
published, u usual, to-morrow.

The Paris Papers are still occupied (as will be seen
by our extracts from those which arrived last night)
with the wanton and indecent outrage, committed „by
Authority," on the last remains of a venerable and
much respected Nobleman, who, it we are not much
mistaken, traced the origin of his illustrious family to
a much higher and purer source than that of the
.prod
sent reigning family. But, his recommendation •
courtly favour, by belonging to the first rank of tale;
estienne ttoblesse, was cancelled, by his not e
grating at the commencement of the revolutioti,
though he took no part in the frightful events that
followed ; and, secondly, by his entertaining liberal
opinions. He was therefore treated with coldness at the
restoration, by those who had the power of dispensing,
such favours and meting out such disgrace, as depend
upon Court breath, and be had never been in good
odour afterwards. However, he continued to spew"
his time as happily as the consciousness of having de-
voted his time to works of active, pure, and comp".
hensive benevolence would allow; but the esteem of
all good men, lick he enjoyed in an eminent degree,
only aggravated, in the eyes of his sensitive oppeoentr,
his former offences. This, we suspect, is a clue to the,
unnecessary ♦iolence displayed by the Police at his
funeral, and which bis remaining relatives have pub-
licly stigmatised as a wanton and brutal outrage.
These papers contain intelligence from Madrid to the
94th, and from Lisbon to the 18th ult. but all that is
interesting in the latter, has been anticipated by us,
whilst the former has every appearance of being apo-
cryphal. It is stated, for example, in the advices from the
Spanish capital, that the late change of policy harunder-
gone a change itself, and that FeRDINAND had scarcely
hoisted the olive branch, as the emblem of his future,
relations with Portugal, when he dashed it to the'
ground. This account, though it agrees well enough
with the predilections of the King of SPAM; is so wholly
inconsistent with his situatiory that we do not,hesitate
to reject it at once. It is also sic! that General Moon.
has been disgraced, for having too faithfully obeyed
his orders in the disarmament of the Portuguese, and
that his place has been already filled by.Gen.O.Posuiti.,
whilst &MIA, whom the for user had replaced, has
been appointed Capt.-General of Valencia. This stateol
meat we reject upon the same grounds as we did.
the preceding, and also believe there is no truth in the
account of General SARSEIRLD% disgrace, and of the
app•)intment of Count d'Etenotts, as his successor in
command of the Army of Observation. We are well
enough aware that FERDINAND% conversion to pacific
and moderate principles is not the effect of free choice,
so much as of stern necessity ; and he would probably
read bis recantation of his new political heed to-mor-
rosit,',witbout feeling either shame, or conscientious
qualmi, if be thought he could do so with silky. But,
whoever admits the latter part of the supposition, may
take anything, however improbable, for granted; and
we can only say, that as long as the policy of our own
Government remits: as it is, the Court of Madrid will
see the necessity of cultivating peace and good-will
with Portugal.
It will be seen from the following extract of a private
letter, received this morning, that the state of the pub-
lic mind in Spain holds out no inducements to Flom-
NAND to retract the pacific pledges hellas lately given:
MADRID. Aliawn 43.

We have no further information relating to the'del
tected conspiracy in the Army of Obsertation; but in
several places the Alcades have been arrested. We
have also accounts that at Tortosa another conspiracy
has been discovered. At present a great ferment pit-
vails throughout Spain, and this Capital is on the eve
of some important event. The Apostolicals are in-
triguing to turn out Rl:cacao. Arrests have taken
place i CUEVAS, Ancient Deputy of the Cortes, is
amongst them, and has been sent to the fort of San Pedro.

Monsieur FALCE, the Ambassador from the Nether-
UW., transacted bu►iness yesterday at the Odice of the Secretary
Of State for Colonial Affairs.
Mr. HuaxissoN, we are happy to state, is much
better. The Maio Hon. Gentleman attends daily to his official
duties as President of the Board of Trade.

Accounts from Batavia to the 18th December state,
that the insurgents had not appeared lately in any
force: borne small detachments were reported near,
Soolo, and General Vox Gus had been detached in
that direction. There had been some slight skirmish•
Dollars were at S premium.

A letter from Gibraltar, dated March 10, says—" A
circumstance has occurred here which has put a stop to
all business, and will completely destroy our summer
demand foe manufactured goods, which is, the seizure
of two smuggling vessels, the one going out of the bay,
and the other, at anchor, and both loaded with valuable
cargoes of manufactures, &c. on account of their being
armed and manned principally by foreigners. In the
meantime, the French men of war are doing all they
can to protect the French trade, and themselves carry
and introduce French goods into 3eain.".
