of the kings fa,ourites and advisers was
soon discovered. At 2 o'clock on the morn

immediately obeyed. The king in disguise

cd his papers, which it is supposed disclos-
ed the most infamous intrigues. He has
since been banished TO the castle of Porto
Rico. NloNe, editor Of the Procurufor.
was next banshed; and afterwards some
one or other of the tiisgraced courters
were hourly leaving the capital, some os
whom are banished to the PHILIPPINE Is
lands.
The Councillor CT state Feseaiquex, has
retired to Cordova. The Count del Pinar
and M. Colon, and other members of the
council OF CASTLE, have also had leave to
retire. Castro, Martinez, and other &c
cies'aslics have received orders to retire To
their converts. The latest accounts state
that the troubles in Gallica are entirely
appsased, and that all has been quiet since
the death of Porlier. The armies of o.
Donnell and Abisbal have kept every thing
Tranquil ut Navarro, the strictest discipline
having been enforced by those Generals.
and funds having been furnished them for
the payment of their troops.
On the 9TH OF October, new list of dis
graced cour,iers were announced tn the
number # thirty. Among them is the
Duke OF San Carlos, dismissed from bis
employments, but sent ambassador to Vi
emma. The others were mostly subordi-
nate officers of government, some of them
holding employments abont the kings per-
son, and supposed to have possessed a most
psrnic GUS influence over him. These
changes have greatly encouraged the hopes
of rational people in Spain, that an entirely
new systerH ,f policy is to be pursued and
some think that the Cortcs viii speedily
be convened to restore that unhappy ceun-
try to some of the blessings of a free con-
stitution.

Admiral LIMOS, the French General
Boyer, and the officers and troops that
have arrived from Qua laloupe at Ports
mouth, are to be sent to Havre de Grace
directly, here to await the orders of the
Duke OF Wellington, agreeably to the arti
Gle OF population. No person will be per
mitted to land until his Grace's directions
Tor their disposal is received, norany com
muncation to take place.
We hatter ourselves, that in the present
state OF the shipping interest, and the
want OF employment for so many thousand
British seamen, his MJcsty's government
VIII not allow American vessels to trade
to the British West Indies.
Indeed, there cannot, under the new
treaty, be any objection on the part of the
English planters, to employ Britt n ships
in tile trade to the United States, from +, G
Kings sugar colonies, as they are not in fl
ture to pay there higher tonnage duties
tnan American vessels. a little foresight
and previous arrangement is ony necesSa-
~ ON the part Of the pl nters, to prevent
the Inconvenience complained ofin the let
ter from Antigua, in our paper Of Mon

ZEN 44c1McN
When Louis XVI of sacred and lament
ed memory, assembled the States General,
he wished to remedy an evil which France
at that time conceived insupportable ;but
which we this day, since experience has
rendered us better judges of adversely, re-
gard as very Insignificant. After the man
ner ofunskiful physicians, we have con-
verted a slight sore into an incurable dis
temper. The Constituent Assembly was
distinguished for wise intentions, but the
times hurried it along. Possessing less ia
lent, but more boidbess, the legislative as
sembly attacked monarchy itself. which the
convention succeeded in overthrowing.-
The two councils were destroyed by their
own very factions. Under the tyrant the
people were silent, they only recovered
their voice under their legitimate monarch.
On the return of Bonapsrte the convention
seemed to start up with him from the tomb !;
the two phantoms have vanished into the
abyss together, leaving us as evidence of
their apparition, inumerable calamities, and
100000 foreigners on the soil of France.
G. Gentlemen, five reflect only upon the
results of those Assemblies, we may feel
encouragement, but our errors ought TO in
struct us die moment is arrived when we
may employ, for the consolidation of the
monarchy, that same popular force which
was the instrument Gifts overthrow never

himselfhas reminded US OF the Importance
of these functions which they will be called
upon to discharge, by drawing the people
more closely to the throne, by IGNORING
several Electoral Colleges with the pa
tronage Of the princes ofhis family.
g But we must not disguise the fact,
gentlemen, that every thing depends upon
the choice which France shall now make

declared incapable Of fixing those institu-
tions which we sought through 50 MANY
