FOREIGN NEWS

fFrom the n. Y. Evening Post, April l5.]
By the arrival this forenoon of the
ship Howard, Capt Holdredge, from
Hayre, whence she sailed the l4th OF
March, we have received Paris papers
to the 18th OF that month. Capt Hold
redge is the bearer of important de-
spatches from Mr.. Gallatin for govern
ment The preparations for war were
going on in France with great spirit, but
no blow had vet been struck. The ac-
counts from the frontiers of Spain state,
that there had been several skirmishes
between the Constitutional troops and
the Royalist or Kings party. In one az
fur, the latter were defeated, put to the
route, and driven out of Spain into the
French territory. In another affair, the
Constitutional troops were defeated, and
lost number Of men, in killed and pris-
oners.
= A private letter, from an anthentick
source, to gentleman in this city, dated
Paris, the 18th of March, states that &C
counts had been received from Madrid
to the Cd, informing that the King had
succeeded in forming a new ministry ;
but that the Cortes had demanded to
know whether it was the intention of
the new Ministers TO remove the seat OF
government and the Royal family from
Madrid, and that every thing depended
upon the answer which should be given.
The Cortes were determined not to act
with the Ministry, unless the King and
the Government should remain where
it is at present established.
In the sitting of the French Chamber
of Deputies on the 9th Of March, there
were only eight members in the left
centre, and seven on the left; from
which circumstance one would infer
that most of the Deputies opposed TO
the war, had abandoned their seats.
An article from Bayonne of March Cd
states, that the royal bands, headed by
Bessieres, Merino, and Zabala, had
formed junction at Lagrono, and that
their army amounted TO 10000 mel
Count Abisbal, at the head Of the Consti-
tutional troops, who had the rashness to
pursue them, had been defeated with
considerable loss. No circumstantial
detail of the combat is contained in the
papers before US.

The aim of the Authors of this work
has been, to give such a view of Geography as
will leave deep and abiding impression on
the mind. For this purpose, each Continent is
introduced by describing all the great outlines
the mountain lines-the river lines-aild
other grand features. The principal points be-
ing thus fixed in the mind, the pupil is then
led to particular view of each country-such
view as is calculated to make the study in
teresting, and at the same time to leave dura-
BILE impressions. The work concludes with
General Views, containing much valuable in
formation on great variety Of interesting SUBJ
jects, and calculated, by obliging the student
to go over the world again and again, for diff
ferent purposes, to fix all the important facts
more firmly in his memory. The difference,
both as it regards pleasure and profit, between
the study of Geography on this plan, and the
common method, can only be felt by those
wlru have experienced both.
The present edition of this Geography has
been preparc4 with great labour and much
study. Every sentence of it was sent TO the
press in manuscript.
