King Ferdinand appears to have lstely
| entertained distrust of his guards, and
has caused column of Provinc,a, Grena-
| d!ers to march UP to Madrid, who had
been reviewed in the Prado. HIS Guards
! de Corps are reduced to a very small mum
i Der, and are by no means on such a foot
| ing as they were prior to the revolution
| OF Araijuez. On the day of ST. Ferdinand,
| the kings tituiar SAINT, upwards of 20 per-
| sons, condemned to the gaileys and other
punishments, received his Majesty's par
| don.
, Lord Cachrane's trial, for breaking pri
| son, Is liked for tomorrow week at Gull
| ford.
The piIlory seems fovorite mode of
| punishment in the French code of jurispru-
prudence. Hardly week passes in Paris,
without an exhibition of tn kind On
| Friday last, four females, none of whose
| ages exceeded Is, were pilloried at the
| Conciergerie.

We expect cloths from France for the
uniform OF our troops we prefer them 10
I the English cloths, which are of far less va
| lue. His Majesty, by various edicts, has
| greatly encouraged the breeding of sh.ep,
| and wishes to establish manufac tories for
wooilen cloth in Sicily. The government
has also encouraged the plantation of SUI
| gar cane, pastil indigo, and other objects
which will make us Independent of foreign
| tribute.
We expect daily the grand expedition of
| Lord EXmouth. Iii thought very tardy
in this country. The barbarians profit by
these delays to scour the Mediterranean
and to put their worAs in a state of de-
fence.

There is reason to believe, that the
Americans in particular will be very diff

that then squadron will not make a
useless promenade in the Mediterranean.
All our continental papers, from north
to south, speak Of the unseasonabe and I'M
favorable state of the weather (; and Of the

Prlvatc letters from France sta THAT the
deficit in the French finances is three milf

be moved to the King, to intercede with tie
Allied Powers to withdraw or diminish the
number of Foreign troops, and to prolong
the period of paying tribute.
