can give confidence i'll the French tinan-

of all her losses, and a!iher disasters, has
still more resources than any country In

could be expected from the men who com

short, a very short time, gave fresh hopes:
Their task was more difficult, as they had

predecessors but for moment, much
was hoped from them. 1t was, however,
seen, that coalition was formed between
three OF the Ministers, who, acting toge-
tier carried almost every question in a
truly probationary sense; they drove out
one OF the Royalist Ministers, and reduced
the Others to state ofnullity; and in their
turn, have created for their successors.

Letters from Marseilles, dated the 10Th
ult. inform us, that the court of Turin is
continuing its preparations against the
Barbary powers. LeVIes for that destina-
ton is making in Piedmont. A great
number of small craft are also preparing
at Naples. Arrangements for defence are
making on the Spanish coast, in theneigh-
borhood ofBarcelona. I'm general, the in |
habitants of the shores of the Alediterra-
mean, await with Impotence the moment,
when they are TO have vengeance for the
constant and too long endured insults of
the banditti. Their daily iniquities are
indeed sufficient to excite the indignation
of all nations. There have lately been
discovered on the coast of the Roman
States, decapitated bodies, believed to be
the remains of unfortunate persons who
were on board vessels that have been pill
LACED and abandoned atsea by the pirates.
These barbarians recently made a descent
on the Isle of Elba, between Porto Ferra-
10 and Porto Longonc, and carried off
twenty-elght persons, whom they reduced
TO slavery.
