the personnel Of the army was all disembarked;
the maferieI alone was left on board; but 1t the
weather continued favorable for four days, the
dlsembar kation would have been forward enough
10 enable the army to advance anu begin the
siege. 1t is believed that the troops have been
divided into three corps; one TO remain at the
place where the landing was effected: another to
proceed along the coast, and take possession OF
the batteries That skirt it; and the third to march
along the heights. in order to turn the town and
attack il on the east and south. The walls on
that side are said to be in such bad condition,
as to require but few yOliies to make breach
tits therefore considered not unlikely that by this
time the town is taken and the expedition termi-
mated. The roadstead of Torre Chica is all tn
expected safeguard TO the expedition. and re-
moves all anxiety. II is only TO be wished that
there may be no need of cavalry; for, according
to accounts from Palma. almost all the horses
persisted during thirty days stay on board the
vessels. The 18th regiment Of chasseurs will
make the campaign on foot. On the 9th. when
the fleet was still at Palma. great number Of
dead horses were thrown into the sea; the few re-
naming were TO be employed in the artillery SER
vice. Sidi II Ferruch is a small port, leagues
ships its produce, especially cattle, for the coast
OF Spain and other European ports: Two roads
---one direct. the other along the coast BY Cax-
ine--lead from Sdi ell Ferruch to Algiers; these
roads. particularly that along the sea side, are in
tersected BY chains of mountains. which do not
present many obstacles to the progress of travel

ed was mounted with batteries; map recently
published marks Ave; there must have been
greater number.sas Sidi el Ferruch may be con-
sidered the mercantile port Of the Agcrine capt.
tai: an attack on that side is striking the Regen-
cy to the heart: 1t is therefore probable that the
most powerful means of defence were directed TO
that point
Ad,ices from Gibraltar announce that the cap

FRANCE
On the 18th the King issued proclamation
which follows. as translated in Gaignanis Mes
senger. All the liberal papers speak of it as
measure adopted to embarrass the elections, and
not called for by any good cause.
There was banquet given at Court on recep-
ton of the news of the safe landing of the army.
The newswas conveyed from Turretta Chica to
Paris in ninety six hours.
The election is adjourned in nineteen depart
ments, containing 28,1Ol electors. aud sending
100 deputies: of which number IS voted for the
address from the Chamber, which led to its dis
solution, and 81 against it.
The postponement of the elections will not re-
tard the meeting of the Chamber, as the Depu-
ties may be returned and in Paris by the Sd of
August.
The French papers are filed with political
dlSqulsIions and ordinations. and reports of
The proceedings of Courts regarding the election.
They contain little that would be generally un-
derstood or at all interesting here. 1t seems al !
most certain that the liberals will return an in |
creased number of deputies to the Chamber; but
whether they would agree among themselves, in
case the king should oe compelled to yield, up
on choice of ministers, is very doubtful.
