London, Monday, December ...
From the French papers of Friday, whiclh arrived last night, we can only quote the following paragraphs:- "The official part of the Monitetr contains two Royal ordinances. "1. Fixes the number of General Oflicers of the Land Forces to 160 Lieutenant.Generals and 300 Major-Generals. The 2d ar- ticle states what General Officers are admitted to half pay. "2. Relates to the organization of the Royal School, created by an ordinance of the 20th of Auguat, 1824; the purpose of which is to bring up yoAng men (24 in number) to a knowledge of the ma. nagement, cultivation, &c., of forests. This sclhool is to be called L'Eco2e Royale Foretiarc. "MX^ADRID, SEPT. 25. !" There is great activity here to effect the evacuation. A consider- able part of the baggage of tile Generals and officers attached to the staffis already gone; and on the 30th instant, Madrid will be evaeu- ated by all the troaps, except a Swiss regiment and one of French in- fantry, which latter will depart on the arrival of a 2d Swiss regi- ment, whicb, writh the other that remains, will be part of our gar- rison till a time which has been agreed upon with the Cabinet ef the Tuileries, but which we do not yet know. " The fears which it was attempted to inspire respecting the pay- ment on the Royal Loan, due in January, are entirely dispelled, and the same courier that brings you this letter is the bearer of the funds Inecessary to pay the half year's interest from the Ist of January. [ Our Government gives its whole attention to provide for the interest of this loan, which it considers as leading to further financial opera- tions.-illoniteur. " PARIS, DEC. 3. " Some journals still speak of the departure of the two Infants of Spain, and of a congress at St. Petersburgh; and they add, that the Infant Don Francisde Paulo will not come to Paris, bu~t will pars through the south of France on his way to Naples. We think that we know the news as soon as the journals which bave such constant correspondence. All of them now annouice the evacuation which they denied, and which we said would begin the Ist of December. We can assure these journals ehat the Infant Don Francis de Paulo doesnot come to Paris, and will not go to Naples, and that there will be no coagress at St. Petersburgh."-Etoilc.
