=TRACT or A PIIVVASI LITTIL
There are some parts of France in which travelling
is not attended with any peculiar deg*e of comfort or
• convenience; for instances let me give you an idea of
the' route bones from BOWSAW, as a tolerable speci-
men.—Not only is the road in many places so execrably
bad, that ten hones can with difficulty drag the d&
gence through the sand, but in all weathers the proses •
- gees are made to descend, in order to ease them, and
tt often happens that, in the middle of the night, one
has to wade, for several miles, in a pouring rain, up to
the knees in mud. This happened exactly on my
- journey hither, for the &outsider, requested every pa,•
senger to get down, on our arrival at Mont Marsan,
and about a dozen of us were refreshed with a mid-
night promenade. which lasted upwards of an hour, in
spite of the " pitiless pelting of the storm." 1 should
• think. for about forty or fifty miles, when us resumed
our places, we got on at the rate of four miles an hour,
with tea horses.t Many attempts have been made to
pave the road, but the stone quarries are at such a con-
siderable distance. that. according to a late calculation.
if the plan was carried into esecution,each stone would
cost about half-a-crown, alter paying the workmen, and
other expenses.
Not a work has been published rela lye to France
without some remarks upon the peculiar costume and
manners of the inhabitants of the Landes, or I might
wry a few words upon the extraordinary sight presented
io some of the towns in that department on a roar ket-
day. The females are equipped somewhat in the Bil-
lingsgate style—their hair braided in a peculiar man-
ner, with ear•riugs nearly four inches in length, and a
mans hat, with a bread Qtraker•like brim, completes
the head.dress. As to the men, their sun-burnt faces.
dark eyes, and long hair descending behind, bring to
ones recollection those pictures of Satan, which the
curses use to frighten young children. The lower class
hr this pin of France seem almost in a state of barba-
rian—their uncouth appearance and barbarous lan•
gunge, joined to their ignorance. well entitle them to
the appellation r f savages so frequently bestowed
upon them. It may -not be amiss to remark to the
traveller, that if he wish to avoid the disagreements
I have mentioned on the road horn Bordeaux to
Bayonne, he should take the mail, as it costs lattlell
more than by the diligence, and she journey is per•l
farmed ten hours sooner. I have lately had claws'
tonities of noticing the miserable appearance of many'
I
French towns, but the present state of Bayonne com
vet's an idea of wretchedness hardly to be described.,
The river is deserted, shopkeepers are quite idle, and'
the streets are thronged with beggars. Otte is painfully I
struck with the numbers and miserable appearance of
the unfortunate people who beset you a: evcry torn.
Did not the police exercise a vigilant eye upon them,
the distress they suffer would inevitably lead to caresses
questionable lt of repression. I can state., from the most un-
questi maces, that this town, formerly so fluted

lowering appearance.
There is a 'teat degree of bustle and activity here
among the militriry ; the town seems filled with soldiers,
who are manoeuvring at all hours of tie day in different
directions, and from the diligence used in making
slight repairs in the fortifications, one would suppose
that an anticipation of war existed. All strangers who
enter the town are watched most narrowly. At the
gate, the gendarmes who receive the passports take a
rsort of description of your person; and at the
hotels
and lodging-hooves you are obliged to write your name,
Jour profession, from whence you came, and whither
soti
ryou ire going. The police go round nightly for these
lists, and a heavy fine is exacted in case of contravent* ' ,
It is very difficult to enter the town of an evening aft 1
nine o'clock when the gets' are shut. The passage 1
cornices 'is very frequent, and altogether it is not di&
critt..to perceive that the commantiations with Spain
are looked to with anxiety.
The election fill this department (Basses Pyrenees)
has lately occupied a large share of the public atten-
tion. Party spirit has manifested itself to a greater ex-
tent than usual, and the popular candidate (M. Lafitte)
has been attacked by the Government agents in a' vas,
Tiny of squibs of rather an insulting tendency. A cor-
tuspoudence has been opened between several of the
parties concerted, which, if some amicable measures
us sot adopted, is likely to lead to serious consequences.
Ilse Meads of the successful candidate (Id. Laßue) gave
aortand public dinner a day or two ago, in hassour of
in England would be called the " purity of elec.
don.* This triumph of the Opposition is, of course, a
limiter of mach congratulation here.

The formation of the new Ministry continues, as well
it may, to engtoss public attention; and, in every place,
wishes, which evidently flow warm from the heart, are
expressed that the plan may not only succeed, but be
can with as little delay as possible into execution.—
With respect to its complete success, we have not the
slightest doubt, for it has the hearty concurrence of the
nation; and when the public and the Kura agree on
any measure, where is the power capable of thwarting
them? If such a power existed, it could not be too
woa croshed, for it would be an usurpation made at
the expense of the Crown, and a frightful, as well as a
disgusting, anomaly, where the rights of all are clearly
defined by thi Constitution. Bet, it does net exist, as
will be seen by the result ; and we are sure, that no
attempt will be made by the distinguished indivi-
duals, who have declined to become Members of
the trc Administration, to impose their wishes, as
an absolute law upon the KING, or to embarrass the
future march of his Government. We are only surprised
at the effrontery which could publish so gross a libel
upon their characters, particulaily as the imputation,
if true, would convict them of greater folly than wicked-

ness. The high rank of most of them, the past services
of all, and the fact that many of them at indebted for
neArly all they possess to the munificence of the Crown,
are substantial guarantees, that they will net constitute
themselves, at this important june,ure. into a knot of
selfish and caballing politicians. Their worldly pru.

remarks, we may now lay-
_
before our Readers the motives which malignant
rumour assigns for theit secession. In the first place, it
is said that they refuse, one and all, to form part of any
Administration, in which they would be obliged to act
ander Mr. CANNING, but they have no objection to
co-operate with him, provided he be only their equal
It is wholly impossible to believe this report, for, it
true, the King would be a mere cypher in the opinion
of the Seceders, who might enjoy the name, whilst they
usurped the whole authority of Sovereign. If they
could appoint whomsoever they pleased; to dispensq
the entire power and patronage of the Crown, it it
clear that the Sovereignty would rest with thessi
whoever might have the name. Who are they, that are
thus accused of setting up so preposterous a claim? They
are individually men of respectable parts, but waft a
single pretension to intellectual superiority, ; and thole
equals in point of natural ability and acquired knows
ledge are to be found everywhere. Collectively, they
wholly owe their impoitance to their long continual*,
in omce; but as soon as the cause is removed, at oaf
disappears all their influence, for it is borrowed, and nut
intrinsic. They have no NTT amongst them. the splendour
of who'se eloquence could throw a halo round them as a
body, and whose commanding genius could secure
respect for any partied; which he happened to act.—
They have no adventitious advantage of this kind, and,
therefore, it would be pre-eminently absurd in them to
act the part, which rumour has assigned to them. If
I they were to attempt it, contrary to all expectation, they
would soon see reason to repent of having overvalued'
their means; but why should we suppose that, which,
Il
we hope, the whole of their past eohduct belies. As
to their objections to act elder Mr. CAussmo, there'
,essay be some truth in the rumour, though the public
will not be so well satisfied with their validity, as they
are probably themselves. If the Most intelligent beadl4
ought to have the lead, there is not one of them all; who
could reasonably decline to follow him as leader. Bat, if
his mental superiority were•notes well attested, as it is,
L still the Kise's choice ought to be taken for something,
particularly by men, who would not be distinguished
from the great mass of their fellow subjects, if their
heads had not happened to be encircled with the rap
GE Royal favour. As they owe almost everything tel
that source, they ought to respect in another the dig-
'. that is derived from it ; and, in objecting therefore
to act under Mr. CANNING, it is not this Gentleman,
bat the Soo, who has reason to complain of their
conduct. This is the grave part of the change;
and, however willing to defend them, we cannot
conscientiously undertake. the task. It is probable
that his MAVESTT sees the subject in the same light
as the public generally ; and la that case Mr. CAN-
NING will be obliged to form the new Cabinet with-
out them, as any ether course would be inconsistent
with the Royal dignity, and, we fear, repulsive to the
Royal feelings. In the meantime, the resignations we
mentioned yesterday, are fully confirmed; and it is now
stated, that the Duke of WELLINGTON has resigned the
office of Commander-in• Chief, as well as his place in the,
Cabinet. Mr. Pen'a resignation it universally regretted.,
whilst every one acquits him of improper motives.
With respect to the progress made iq the formatioi
of the new Cabinet, nothing certain has transpired as
yet, though there are many rumours on the subject—
such' as that Lord GaANVILLa is already appointed
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and Mr.Rostssoo,
of War and the Colonies. It is also confidently stated
that the Duke of Devotional' has been invited to ac•
cept the Lord Lieutenantcy or Ireland ; and other nomi-
nations are mentioned, which we omit noticing, because
they rest as yet upon too vague authority.

We received, this morning, Frankfort Papers to the
7th instant, and the Alierneke ZeituNg to the same
date. It appears by an article in the former, under
the head of Vienna, 30th March, that numerous mili-
tary promotions have just taken place in the Aus-
trian service. Prince ALCM of LICHTIVSTRIN has
been 'pointed Commander-in-Chief in Moravia, as
well as the Austrian part of Silesia, and the Count of
WALSIODRN, Commander-in-Chief at Milan. It is also
stated that Count Mean has beef► recalled at his
own request from the Embassy in the Netherlands,
and that he is to be succeeded by Baron Von
Hum. It appears from the same article, that the Arch-
duchess MARIA LOUISA was making preparations, and
bad even fitted out some ships, for the purpose of paying
a visit to her sister, the late Empress of BRAZIL, when
she was surprised by the intelligence of her death. The
blow is consequently the more severe ; and she appears
also to have felt it more than any other member of the
Imperial Family. Thee is no other news of the
slightest interest in these Papers.

We hate received the Paris Papers of Wednesday and
Thursday ; but their contents are wholly uninteresting.
The chief subject of intereit in that capital is neither the
proposed law for shackling the press, nor the relations
between Spain on one side and England and Portugal
on the other, but the formation of a new Cabinet in this
country. The event is looked for there with almost
as much ansirty as it is here; and it will surprise no one
to hear that the Apostnlicals, one and all, deprecate the
appointment of Mr. Cmturre. As their love of England
is prnvetbial, the motives of their opposition to him
a may be easily imagined.
