YARMOUTH, JULY C 7.

FRANCFORT, JULY 18.
Letters from the South of France, dated about the
beginning of the month, contain the following parti-
culars respecting the state of things in Spain :
" In addition to the impression made by the splen.
did progress of the French arms since the commence-
ment of Spring, the most judicious measures have
been adopted for maintaining internal tranquillity in
the conquered provinces. For the attainment of this
object the same means have been resorted to which
were employed some years since in the kingdom of
Naples, with the difference only that is necessary to
apply them to local circumstances, and the obstinate
character of the inhabitants. Of this description is
the employment of moveable columns in each mi-
litary district, which acting from a common centre,
traverse the district assigned to them in all directions,
and pursue and destroy the remains or first germs
of the bands of insurgents in their most secret re-
treats. Of this description also is the employment
of a numerous Gendarmerie in the provinces in the
rear of the French armies, who are specially charged
with preserving the peace of the interior. Another
of these means is the construction of several forts
in the different provinces which are at a distance
from the seat of war. These petty forts are pro-
vided with garrisons, more or less numerous, and
serve both as places of arms and central positions
to the French troops. Thither are conveyed the
supplies of artillery and ammunition necessary, as
depots of reserve, for the support of the army in
the field. They form the points of rendezvous for
the troops which arrive from France, and serve as
depots for the recruits and conscripts who are there
trained and disciplined, preparatory to their being
sent to join their respective corps. On the !nine*.
pal military road and line of communication between
Madrid aid Bayonne, several forts- of this descrip-
tion are already constructed, or the fortifications and
citadels previously in existence, have been improved,
sod put in a state of defence. Thus the city of Vic-
toria has been strengthened with works which render
it a military depot of considerable importance. The
citadel of Pancorbo, which stands on a steep rock,
has, by the addition of some new works, Leen con-
verted into an important fortress. The city of Bur-
gos, which is of so much consequence, both in a po-
litical and military point of view, as the key of Old
Castile and the grand depot of the army destined to
act against Pcrtugal, now possesses a very strong ci-
tadel, the occupation of which secures the obedience
of that quarter of Old Castile. It is also said, that
fortifications are constructing at Aranda. The ap-
proaches to Madrid, which lie through a chain of
rngged and barren mountains, are shut by the fort
of Somo Sierra, built on a high precipice by the in-
surgents, and since considerably enlarged and im-
proved by the French engineers. In Navarre and
Arragon the several old forts have been put4n a state
of defence. The works .of Sarragossa are also en-
larged and considerably improved, compared with
their condition at the time of the celebrated siege of
last year. The citadel of Toledo, which has been
rebuilt, commands the banks of the Tagus,.and se-
cures the passage of that river. Strong holds are also
erecting in the province of La Mancha, and the de-
sert mountains °fete Sierra Morena. In those quar-
ter* particular attention is paid to the establishment
el plates fo; the reception of sick and wounded sol-
liers, and also magazines of all kinds of necessaries,
for "the supply of the troops marching that way, or
bivouacquing in the environs."

Private letters and printed papers have been re-
ceived from Amsterdam to the 25th instant. By the
latest accounts it appears that the naval preparations
in the Scheldt are carried on with a vigour and acti-
vity which seems strongly to indicate an intention on
the part of the enemy ,to send out a strong. arma-
ment, for some object or other, whatever may be the
difficulty and danger of the attempt. The following
was the state of preparation when the last letters came
away :—The fleet at Antwerp, of about eleven sail
of the line, were Rot yet ready for sea, and five ships
of the line at Maydenborg, which were to have been
equipped by the Ist of this month, were not nearly
completed. Three of them were without masts, and
no timber was at hill to supply the deficiency.
Seven men of war, however, riding in the Amstel,
were manned, rigged, and fitted out, and placed
under the command of Admiral DE WINTER, who
was at Amsterdam, m tking arrangements for the
future management of the marine.
One letter mentions a formidable sTaldron now
collecting at Flushing, ready for sea and nearly man-
ned, and which, on Monday last, consisted of ten
sail of the line under French colours, three frigates
under Dutch colours, and about 40 gun boats ; but
perhaps the accounts from Antwerp relate to the
same armament—these places not being very remote
from each of her.
When these accounts came away it was known that
the Ex-King had quitted the baths of Carlsbad, and
had reached his brother Jettome's Court at Cassel.—
The conscription for the snpply of the quota of troops
to be furnished by Holland, and the recruiting for
the National Guard, which measures were to have been
carried into execution immediately, had been post-
poned at the request of the Hollanders until the com-
mencement of the new year. The Royal Guard, consist-
ing of 5000 men, had been marched from Amsterdam
into France, from whence it was to proceed with all con-
venient speed to reinforce the armies in Spain. The
Prince of PLACENTIA and: the Duke of REGGIO were
also at the same capital, and were engaged with great
assiduity in the formation of plans for the internal
Government of Holland. A new scheme of Police
had been suggested, the administration of which had
not then been finally determined upon. No fresh
commercial restrictions had at that time been pub-
lished, but as a precaution, the douaniers on the coast
had been nearly doubled, and in every situation where

This morning a (feet of merchantmen appeared off
this port, bound to the Baltic, and after being joined
by the LIGHTNING sloop of war, and the STAauxci
gun-brig, and the ships waiting convoy,they proceeded
with a fair wind. Arrived the SOLEBAY frigate, and
the HERO Cutter, from the Baltic ; the former has
brought in the John Cook, an American, in ballasts
cut out of Rostick, by the boats of the FISGUARD fri-
gate ; and the latter has brought dispatches from
Admiral Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ. By the HERO we have
the unpleasant news of a fleet of about 40 sail, under
convoy of the BOLD gun-brig, being taken on Thurs.
day last in the Baltic, by three sail of gun-brigs of
he first class, and two schooners, (Danes) and all
carried into Norway except the Bow,. The infor.
oration was carried to these vessels which were lying
in wait to intercept them by a foreign vessel trading
with a British licence.

CARLTON Hom.—The dinner given by the Pet Keg

at Carlton House, was an exhibition of the most splen.

Highness. It was the first time her Royal Highness
had dined in public at Carlron.house. The party
was more select than numerous. It was intended ion

Royal Dukes being unavoidably absent. Those pre.
