" Preparations are nvakirtg at Batrea,. and several
other old castles 4 the Moorish era, new almost in
reins, for confining a considerable number of .
Iterates, who hare jest beets arrested ; and from every
appearance. the persecution which commenced 15
, month, ago, is ttow at its highest pitch of fur). The
number of prisoners whogroan in dungeons, for their
political opinions, throughout the whole extent of the
kingdom, is so great as almost to exceed belief ; and
' you will bear, net witboot astonishmeat, that it is
estimated at not Less than 51,000 ! !
`• In the meals time, the creator's of Government
are constantly talking of new expeditions against ,
America, and ms, 'sores are taking to collect troops,
who will embark for the purpose of joining General
Norillo (whose progress has greatly encouraged the ,
Government), ►s soon as money can be had, which,
however, is only to been fouad in the strong borment
Chapters an,l other Ecclesiastical Corporations.
" Private individuals carefully conceal their yne-
ney lest the agents of Goverment should lay hold of
it; and !►cote the reason why it has hitherto been
impossible to equip this and other expeditions for
America, which w•ene in contemplation. However, It
would appear that the Government will at last attain
its object by appropriating to it the forced loans
which it lately imposed on the merchants.
" The Government has just published a continua-
tiou of the sentences pronounced by the Extraordi-
nary Commission established at Madrid for trying the
4.iberaks of that capital and its district. The inch-
, video's condemned are 49, among whom two Deputies
to the Cortes, Senors Rodrigo and Caneja, escaped,
have been condemned to ten years confinement
(in irons ; and four other Deputies, Senors Dile4ll6,
Valcarcel, Colombres, and Goyanes, to pay large
fines.--In the list of these unfortunate people
are to be found judges, officers of the army, priests,
monks, advocates, merchants, and even some
woolen ; the greater part have been condemned to
banishment, imprisonment in irons, or heavy fines.'
Senor Lopez, the author of several literary works,
has been condemned to be hanged.
" Many Officers of General Mina's division, in.
in the Pantpeluna business, are condemned to !
serve as privates in different regiments. Ile the list
of their names me observe that of Captain Xbanes,
whom we know to be in London."

The public were informed some time ages that a
sum of QCIO3I. had been placed at the disposal of her
Royal Highness the Princess Cnatmotrs of Wu.ts,
to defray her personal expences. IVe believe that
this has been grimly mistated. About the lime when

I metaphor, the French, and Louts himself, are about
to MA the question so important to their safety and
honour—" Is it peace, or the partition of France

'smarts' France under Louts XVIII., do the Allies
I remain in France, or carry on hostilities against any
town held under his Bag ?" The French know,
that before questions so remonstrative as these
!can be expected to obtain much respect from
1 Powers so enshrouded among the laurels of victory
,41 !he," High Attiet,!" it is-necessary to have a to.
lerable and a tractable army to exhibit in the back-
ground ; and therefore a development is ordered
which we suspect will harmonize but little with the
plans of the Allies. The Official Garette contains a
Royal Ordinance for the -organization of a new
army, " strong enough to ensure success in war,
to-France her independence without, and tranquillity
nithist."—This army is to consist, in the first in.
stance, of 317 regiments, exclusive of engineers.—

In it.-.-The Decree lately published foe disbanding
" the rebel" armies, was dated on the 23d of March,
at Lille. The policy of thus peblishing these Decrees, i
with such a sariance between their dates and thit-ai
their publication, is very incomprehensible to #6rne,
of our cotemporaries. To us it is perfectly plain.---
It is a trick truly French, and those who remember
the Milan Decrees, arid contend that MI stratagems
are lawful in war en, *ell as in love, *ill give the
councils of TAYLlcirltAap and Foccux credit for the
policy of the ruse. In thle.partieular. The " rebel
armies" were considered as disbanded from the date
of the Lille Decree to the time of their being received
into royal favour by his Majesty's appointment of
their Commander, Marshal Macnonato; and the
date of the last for organising the military force of
France anew, is doubtless, ante-dated, if it has not
!beta published in the prqvinces before, which we
I
suspect it has, for the purpose of including the army

: posed to include themselves In the new organization
46 It is'urgent to organize a new army," says the
Ordinance. The urgency is evident, and will ac-
i count for no new order of disbanding being Issued.
DavousT has peacefully resigned Ms command to
Marshal Matceozatn, who, in a Proclamation
issued at Doorges, the head-quarters of the Army of
the Loire, on the Id instant, has expressed his plea- I
sure at being again among his old companions, and 1
tells them, that the calamities and burthens of the
country can Only be alleviated by their means, by
their correct observance of discipline, and frank sub-
mission to the King. He adds, that it is his interstion
to " extend their cnntonments for the relief of the
country," which may be construed as meaning to re-
lieve the country as much from the burthens imposed
upon it by tier foreign troops, with whose presence
every depertmeet was threatened, as from the par-
tial oppression of a native army, whose numbera, by-
the-bye, are pretty well indicated by this measure of
enlarging their range of subsistence. •
Another reason, of an equally urgent nature, may'
have prompted this measure—the freedom which the
people ought to enjoy in the choice of their Repre.
tentative', would be but little evinced, or at least
liable to no small degree of suspicion, were the re-
turns to the new Chamber to be made in the midst of
foreign troops. Yet amidst those arms which dis-
persed her Constitutional Representatives, the Le-
gislative bodies of France appear doomed again to
assemble; and it is for them to say whether she is in-
dependent—whether LoursXVll I. is the Niece who
I alone tan insure to Flan.* her integrity and her
