SPAIN-Letters from Perpignan Of
the Goth July, say, it is decided that the
appearance of an encampment is TO be
made here; ten battallions will be as
sembled for that purpose-eight of
them will be lodged in the city, and
two outside the walls, on the heights
nearest to the bastion Of St. James,
This camp will not be stiled the camp
Of Observation, but will take for its
name, Scamp de Station" Lieut..
General Dalton has come to take the
command; he is to have two field mar
shals in command under him. All
these arrangements have caused a great
sensation in Catalonia.-Some hope,
and others fear, that this assemblage OF
troops, which at present seems OF little

Each person cites, in support OF his
opinion, the GORDON S%ANITAIRE, es-
tablished along the P%yrennees, which,
in the course of a short time became an
Army of Observation, then an Army OF
Invasion, and finally an Army of Occu-
patton. However it may turn out, a
change of things is earnestly wished
for by every body; those people to
whom the French have been the most
serviceable, are now quite hostile to
them.
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
1fadrid, July 25-An infinite num-
Der of licenccs has been granted to i'm
port into Spain in foreign ships, sugar
and cocoa, not Spanish produce. This
dilapidation Of the revenues OF the
state, and this preference given to the
English, takes place at the very gates
Of your France, to the detriment ofits
manufactures. Here they pretend to
be angry with the English, but in re-
atty they are begged to be so good as
to accept a few piasters in cash which
the smugglers have forgotten TO export
by way Of Bilboa, Badajos, sc.
"Since the Ministry has appointed
an English director and sole contract
or for the sale of salt cod in Spain, the
revenue which the sale of that fish pro-
duced is reduced almost to nothing,
whereas the duties on that article,
which NJ. Ballasteros has tripled since
the new contract, formerly yielded 3
millions annually.
"The same Englishman has made
an arrangement with the Ministry to
furnish tobacco to the Royal Manufao-
tory at 81 pia,tres per quintal, which
cost at Gibraltar only s.. In case this
generous Spectator $50 he is called in
the circular letter sent by the general
board,) should suffer any loss, the gov
eminent will place in his hands the
mines of gold, silver, and iron, which
are known as the most productive.
the Nuremberg Correspondent of
the 2sth ult. contains the following ar
ticle, in the form of a %'letter from the
banks of the Rhine"
"Mursmbwg, July 26.-Though the
assembly of the troops in the depart
ment Of the East and West Pyrenees
is represented at Paris as nothing but
an ordinary military arrangement, for
the increase and inspection of the re-
giments, it is certain that it is looked
upon in 4 very different light in the
Southern Departments.
"The number of these troops will be
more considerable han was at first sta
ted. Inspectors are, indeed, expected,
who are to s%uperintend the reviews;
but when these are over, the troops
will still remain in their encampments,
and be placed in such a state of prepa-
ration that they will be able to march
at the first order. This order is, Of
course, dependent on the turn which
the affairs of Spain may take; buff we
consider the state of that country as it
is represented, both in letters and YER
bal accounts OIL persors coming from it,
we must be convinced that our govern
ment acts with great wisdom in assem-
bling this corps.
"All the accounts show the progress
Of the intrigues carving on, which
will probably be followed by some Sc
we're measures. The Spanish Ultras
will not the preponderance of
which it is intended to deprive them,
but will maintain it by every means in
their power. This is the real state of
the case. The Ultra party is endeavor-
ing to overthrow the Ministry and It's
new system, and thinks TO effect it by
