CAMBRIDGE INSTALLATIOM

LUCIEN BONAPARTE and family have left Ludlow
fur his new residence at Thorngrove, near Worcester.
Government are at this time shipping 60,000 load
of timber, for masts, yards, &c. from Canada.
Advices have been obtained from Malaga, of the
date of the 29th of May. The Polish regiment which •
has been so long in garrison there, had not been re-
moved to reinforce Souvr, and was about 1200 strong.
A French force of 2800 infantry, and 7(X) cavalry,
had bem-deteated by General FREYRE, and bad re-
treated upon Corp. The Spaniards, in consequence.
lof this success, had entere dßaza.
Auxiliary to the design of the march of the French
army under MARMONT, t,) the South, we find that all
the artillery in Z.iniora had been sent to Alva de:
Turmes. From thence a part had taken the direc-
tion of l'idaverit dc la Reyna, and another had pro-
ceded towards the Dispinha Pirros. It seems to be
the intention of the French to abandon Zamora, as
Iscrenteen families, who had been attached to the
' French faction, fearful of remaining, had accompa-
nied the convoy.
Deut-e-r (according, to the last accounts). had al-
ready joined Sow.T, at Llerena ; while MattstosT
was ma: thing up In Merida, on the Guadiana, for
the purpos:• of turming a .imilar junction. Sthlttld
the enNny be enabled to collect the whole of their
force, it is calculated that their army will amount to
very nearly 60,000 men.
The Archduke Charles, arrived in Dover roads
from Lima, whence she sailed on the 16th January,
with a valuable cargo, under convoy of his Majesty's
brig Mutine, landed four officers, sent over on a poli-
tical mission. The principal is Don FRANCISCO DE
SALAZAR, a Colonel in the Spanish army, charged
with dispatches for the Spanish Minister in London,
and accredited to the Cortes of Spain. There is Also
a Secretary to the mission, and two officers holding
