London, Wednesday, Novemb...
Tuie Frenclh papers of Sunday, vhicil arrived last night, contain no political itntelhgeuice %vi tbt oxtractiii, except, perhajps, the following pais;na,c fromn the A1ulmteieur:- MAhDRID), OCT. 22. The ;uvernivent is miakinlg greet ettortatw aeceleatetheforma- "ion of the Royal Guardi, which was dissolved iCcauSe in the iirst organization there were too mrany officerr antd privates who had servcd in the Old Guard. and were suppose(d to be tainttd with revolu. tionary principles. That vwh-ch has since been organizci now consists * f three re- giments of foot. each of 2,000 men; two regiments of light luorse. 500 meni; two of mounted grenadiers, 800 men; andt one o lancers, 300 men. " The new plan of public instruction, cIraw up by Father M"r. tmnez and his Councillors of Castile, has been approved by his iiJ.a3estv, and is now in the press, so that all the schiools in the kuig- tlom will be opened. " It appears from the lists of the eftective force ot' the Roiyal militia, sent in by the Cuptains-General, that they amount in the vwhole kingdom to 100,000 men well-armued and equipped; anad those who have not yet received their armst or clothing are estimated at an etual number. But, on the other band, our army is very weak. being only eight regiaments in Andalusia. two in Valencia, two in Arragon, two in Valla4olid, and erovincial mili:ia. Theae are the only eorps that are eirective; for though we have many other rrgiments nominally, in different parts of the kingdom, they are but skeletons, and even then not complete in subaltern officers. The permanent commissions in the provinces are not behind that of Mladrid. Scarcely a day passes without tsome report being received of tome condemnations to death or to the galleys. That at Corunna has jast inforned the (Governicnent that it has iinflicted the frst of these penalties on II persons, whom it has condemned for political causes. " The clergy have .succevded in obcadiing the comme0 tLn1 tit(q -,f the punislhment of one of their body, M. Aldana, for having presented the constitution to the King in 1821, whern he returned from the Egcurial to Madrid, after the represpnt tions *vhich hall been made to him to this eff'ect by the municipal body oi the capital M. Aldama will be Lonfined for life in a eonvent." 7.{)VlNJA', lWYEDTjE.sD-4'. ANOJRfAIBE?R 3, 1824.
