A favourable a os ver appears to have
been returned by the French Govern

Flore Calderon, Soria, Kemero, and
Prat, presented a proposition to the
Corte, for an augmentation of 12,000
men to the militia in active service, in
co-isideration of the distuibed state
of some of the provinces, and the
s:n ill number of the regular forces;
this body only to coot", vie under arms
for eiht months in the year. The
proposition was supplied by several
deputies, and finally approved of

were plotting the formation of-an

and he was tried himself for

The Court found him guilty, and the.

Com. Hull then demanded a Com tof

on the ground that it .was pot a case

compensation theref'xr to the govern,

We confess that all our good wish"

the man who first broke the spell of
British invincibility, has a character at
stake,!in which we are all concerned.
We can scarcely believe, that, cover

he would stoop to filch a little copper
from a; public yard. We shall not be
lieve, it but on the most' powerful evi

the pi oof to be exhibited in the pub
