41 In the present session the determination of the di-
vision of the kingdom into cantons, corresponding with
the jurisdiction of the courts of justice, will be brought
forward : the penal code, already communicated, will be
discussed; a code of proceedings in civil causes will be
prosecuted ; and, perhaps, also, a code of proceedings in
criminal causes."

It is understood, that besides the convention of the
18th of June, another has been made with the Papal
See, by which the intervention of the King in the nomi-
nation of the Bishops is not limited, as in the Sd article,
but the Chapters are to be charged, by a special bull of
bis Holiness the Pope,—first, to enquire of the King
what person his Majesty wishes to be chosen to fill the
vacant see, and to act accordingly; that his Majesty
answered this concession of the Papal See by a change
in the regulations respecting the education of youth
destined for the church, by which the previous exercises
in the philosophical college are not prescribed, but op-
tional ; that his Majesty, however, convinced of the
utility of this college, will maintain it, and hopes to be
supported in the encouragement of it, for the advantage
of the clergy, by new and enlightened prelates, especially
as it has appeared that the institution of it is by no means
disapproved of by the Pope.

An article from Lisbon of Sept. 29, says—" A vessel
which arrived this morning from Bahia, announces that
the Emperor Don Pedro has ordered large equipments
and armaments throughout Brazils; that war has re-
commenced with Buenos Ayres, but that discontentment
prevail. universally amongst the merchants of Rio and
of Bahia."

As soon as the taking of Reus became known to the
Provisional Insurgent Junta of Manresa, it caused the
oath to be taken anew; to perish with arms in their hands
rather than submit, or accept of any capitulation which
would leave unredressed those griefs for which they had
taken them up.
On the Ist of October a division of 4,000 men, com-
manded by the Carajal, arrived from Manresa, almost
at the gates of Barcelona. The presence of the rebel
forces decided the French General to send out on the
3d a brigade of infantry and a squadronof the 3d Light
Cavalry, who went to post themselves at Sr. Andre,
whilst the rebels were at Barcelona opposite to them,
and, besides, occupied the villages of Masnon and Mou-
lins del Rey. Meanwhile, neither division interfered
with the other in their respective operations. On the
4th the Carajal, who had sent some detachments into
different villages about, to levy contributions in money,
horses, and muler, for tiding and draught, quitted the
village be occupied, and marched again towards Man-
ten.

The letters received yesterday from Tarragona an-
nounce that the King warmly welcomed the three De-
putations from Barcelona, and that his Majesty is deter-
mined to exterminate the rebels if they do not submit
unconditionally, rather than enter into any arrangement
with them; but this assertion is at least doubtful. The
same letters say that bis Majesty, in every thing relating
to the affairs of Catalonia, prefers more the advice of
the Marquis of Campo Sagrado and that of M. Desa,
the Fiscal of the Royal Court of Barcelona. a man
highly esteemed. than the opinions of the Mini‘ter of
Grace and Justice, Calomarde.

A Decree of the Ist October enjoins all the Arch-
bishops and Bishops of Catalonia to come to Tarragona,
and the Bishop of Barcelona has already set out.
At the end of October his Majesty, according to a
report much believed, will stop at Barcelona with the
Queen and some other members of the Royal Family ;
and it is also affirmed that in consequence of their pre-
sence, all the French troops will retire to the fortress of
Mont Juich. This report gives great alarm to the in-
habitants of Barcelona, who fear lest the Spanish com-
mand may destroy that tranquillity which they enjoy
under French authority.
The Duchess of Colo:Ina, whose husband is exiled
here on suspicion of liberalism, bas gone to Tarragona
to present herself to the King. His Majesty has re-
ceived her very favourably, and relieved her husband
from his sentence of banishment.
