.1 At length, after a great number of cometernsasded
feelers. the French trceps in garrison her? seem to be
making preparations for an entire evactiOon of the
place. During the last fortnight a great 4eal of a,.
tillery and small arms have been embarke34or France,
and some of the Officers have sent of their heavy
baggage. The sick, who are not very nnateronc, are
not yet embarked, but they are espected t > go in the
course of a few days. If no further counter order be
received, the troops will leive in three divisions during '
the second fortnight of this moods. They. are to pro.
cried to France by land; and on account of the heat
of the we.ther, which wiil be found oppressive during
the first part of their march ; they are to be allowed
two months from Cadiz to &. Jean de Lux. The
French Ambassador at Madrid having represented to
the King the danger that might accrue to the inhabi.i
tants of Cadiz who took .put in the Constitutional
struggle, from the exalted Royalism of the present.
Governor, his Majesty has consented to remote him from;
that post, and to appoint a new Governor, who shalt
give no uneasiness to the inhabitants. • When the argil:
lery of the French army was embarked, ten thousand
muskets. which had belonged to Spanish Constitution-
alists, disarmed by order of the Duke D'Angoulenie,
were also sent of The )spanish Governir protested I
against this proceeding, and claimed the muskets asl
belonging to the King of Spain; his remonstrance'
however, were ueaced with disdain. We hive boat a,
good deal alarmed here it the news from Gibraltar.
On tbe.3d and 4th instant, the Ranker, Jetta sat for
sevenl hours, and on the sth published a &tin*, order-
iag all vessels foes Gibraltar ro perform quarantine for
a fortnight. Previously to this, and before we were
aware of the extent of the malady, several persons had
arrived here from Gibraltar. but it does weal:ppm that;
any of them had received the infection, they are,
therefore alkiwed to remain."

Another Cabinet Council was held this afternoon,
at three o'clock, in the Foreign Office, Downing-street.
All the Members who were present yesterday attended
also this afternoon. Mr. Hanna*, who wa ssent for from
Scotland, had not arrived when this Paper went to press.

Yesterday his Majesty's ship of war the Blossom,
arrived at Portsmouth, from South America. The
Right Hon. Rosser Gooney, Envoy Eztraordiaary
aad Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of Brazil,
came passenger in the Blossom, arrived in town last
night, and this morning transacted businets with the
Earl cf Almanacs, his brother, at the Foreign Office,
in Doerainrstreet.

It has been remarked that the French navy was never
more efficiently. or more economically superintended,
than it is at present under M. Hvue Da Neuvtote. It
was the boast of that Minister. in his speech on 'the dis-
cussion of the naval budget in the Chamber of Deputies.
that the French Marine was managed at a rate of ex-
pense far lower, in proportion to the extent of the ser-
vice, than could be effected in Great Britain. We hear
very lately of orders being given to hasten the equip-
ment of the men of war on the stocks, at Toulon, at
Rochelle, L'Oriest. Brent, and other ports. At L'Orient
and Brest, we have reason to know, from a Gentleman
who has lately visited those stations, that the greatest
activity prevails, and that men of war of rations sizes
are budding at both ports. A French squadroft is to
be sent to the Mediterranean, in addition to the force
new there under Admiral de Runty; steads vessels are
purchasing by the Government ; and there seems every
indication of the determination of the French Ministry
to raise their navy from the humiliated condition in
which it has long been, and make it really an efficient
and formidable national bulwark. The rapid increase
of the number of their ships shows that this has been set
about in good earnest, and with very good manage
mept. In 1821), the French Naval Estimates were
ilty million francs, and this sum enabled them
to keep up only one hundred and three ships of war
and transports, and these were then no steals-boats.
In 1826 the Estimates were only sixty millions, and ye.
the number of ships, equipped and afloat, was 145, be-
side, six steam-boats. In 1820, only 7,400 seamen were
employed afloat, and in 1826 there were 13.675, besides
6,079 engaged on shore in the Harbour Service. The
French ships are at present infinitely better constructed
than they were ten years since; the seamen are better
disciplined, and their !math and comforts better wended
to, as is evident by comparing the medical andbuspital
expenses of the years 1820 and 182 G. In the former
they were 1,154,790 francs, and in the latter, when the
number of men was doubled, these charges did not
exceed 1,084246 francs. We mention these facts to
prove, that these ere not times when our own Navy is
to be left to take care of itself, when our neighbours are
taking ash pains to• increase their marine. The service
requires a vigilant and active superintendence.--a close
attention to its economy—a careful and dithicninating
selection of Officers for promotion—and, abevnall, a
regard for the comforts of the seamen, and disposition

to keepthese in good humour. We have no doubt that
Lord MaLtricut will bestow abundant notice •n all
these points.
