• .. 1., . , .:~. ~, •. . . , FR ENCII PAPPARA OF A 1( iiA • PARIS, APRIL T. • It is generally asserted that to-morrow will be the day on which the French army, underthe command of the Duke d'Angouleme, mill pass the Bidassoa.—i.:. There ic, then, no longer any. hope of peace. If .we may believe what is reported as having been said by Lord Fitzroy Somerset, the Spanish Government ab solutely refuses to make the smallest Concession with regard to its political system. It has been remarked that the order of the day by the Duke d'Angouleme, which annottnces war, was, countersigned by Lieutenant-General Guilleminot, as filajor-General. This Order of the day is dated March 30 ; yet theDoke of Belluno, named Major-General by the Royal Ordoxpance, arrived. on the 29th at Bayonne: The silbject has given rise to all sorts of jectures.- PERPIGNAN, MARCH 30. • The news from Barcelcna confirms the taking of Murviedro by "Ultuan's band. The troops of the garrison were sent out to meet him. Ulman avoided the force sent against him, and presented himself before the fort, where only a weak guard had been lei t. • In consetluence either of cowardice or treachery, the place was given up to him. As soon as the news war known throughout the province, c)lumns, tinder the command of General blanso, marched from Alicant and other points on Murvie dro. Ulman put a garrison in the fortress, and took the field. He took care not to be shut up in the place,'ni it is not provisioned. On this account it is expected that it will soon be retaken by the' Consti tutioaal troops., BAYONNE., APRIL 1. The departure of Genet al Guilleminot, for Paris, w as announced ; but his Royal Highness has ordered him to remain at his post. It a t pears that the or der for the arrest of M. de Lostandet took place with out the General's knowledge, who was not informed a it until after his Aide-de-Camp had been sent off. N2WS FROM THE FRONTIEBS. • BAYONNE, APRIL 1. The Duke of Angouleme arrived. here the day be fore yesterday, at half-past seven in the evening. All the troops-were under arms; all the avenues through which the Since passed were crowded with citizens of 'every rank,. who .Made .the air resound with cries of Vine k Roil Vice le Ala cr.ingouleme ! Vivent les Bu urGons I The town was illuminated spontaneously and without any orders. All the windows displayed colours; in fine, the joy, was universal. Next day all the civil and-militar y authorities presented their ho mage to the Prince. Among the number were the Officers of the Staff of the. Army of the Faith : narnely, Generals Q.resacia, Eguia, Espagr.e, Longais and the Trappi..t ; the latter was in the' costume Of his order, and attracted general notice. His Royal Highness reviewed the ti °ups on the glacis. To-day two batteries are to be moved forward to Behobie, for the purpose of facilita.ing, if need be, the construction of a bridge of boats over the Bidas soa. Everything gives- reason to expect that in a very few days the French army will pass the frontier and enter Spain.—Journal del Debuts. PARIS, APRIL 6. They write from Colmar, dated March 31:—" We have been in a state of anxiety for three days, in con sequence of the measures of police adopted by the Magistrates. All the gates of the town have been shut except those of Basle, Brisach, and Rouffael, which ate, however, strictly guarded. Every travel. ler is rigorously examined, and conducted to the Pre fecture if his passports are not perfectly in order. Numerous patrols during the night augment the alai m, and give rise to the most strange reports. We are ignorant of the cause of all this." Another account says, Colmar is in the most ex traordinary and alarming gate; it is just like a be sieged town, the inhabitants of which are known to be favourable to the besiegers. It is said that a very wide-extended conspiracy has been discovered there. Brest, too, excites no little fear and suspicion. They-write from Toulouse of March 30 An Order of Division, dated to-day, announces that the Duke d'Angouleme is invested with the title and powers of Superior Commandant of the 10th and 11th military divisions, and the division of the Eastern Pyrennees ; that the Lieutenant-Generals command ing these territorial divisions are to recognise and exe cute the orders of his Royal Highness, only preserving their authority distinct for the ordinary service, and for the business of military justice." PRIVATE CORRIZSPONDF.NCP.. P.tros, APRIL , Four o'Clock, • The Duke de Belluno arrived at Paris early this morning. He reached Bayonne on the 30th, some hours before Prince Hilt. He had immediately an interview with Guilleminot, the Major-General of the army, whom he came to supersede. Guilleminot still 'retained his post, notwithstanding the Royal Ordon rianee in theMouiteur appointing Belluno to fill it. His Royal Highness arrived some hours afterwardt. He was immediately waited upon by Guilleminot. The Prince desired him to continue in his appointment: his Royal Highness added, that the mission of the ' 'Minister of War, and the di s missal of the Major- General, whom be had himself selected, was the re in!! Of an intrigue, Which he would take care to defeat. The Prince, in the course of the evening, received all ' the General Officers of the army at Bayonne; nay, even gave an audience to the Trappist, but refused to have any communication with Belluno. On the • -following morning, his order of the day to the army astonished the public, by coming out countersigned by Guilleminot, who had been superseded, and not by Belluno, who had been appointed in his stead. Toe Minister, thus seeing his services declined, became sensible how far he himself had declined in •influenCel by leaving the War-office, and resolved teturn to the right-about for Paris e covered wijh ridicule in . steed of laurels. It is not stated whether, in his re treat, another carriage has broken down under him. It is supposed that he will find it difficult to effect a I relgnient in his former hotel, where he, however, this morning alighted. I formerly mentioned to you as one of the causes of Belluno's disgrace the ruinous contracts which he :tad authorized fur the benefit of his depen2ents.- 0 e of the roost striking of those jobs, because the most undisguised, was the contract for po n too ns to crobL. Lac khdassoa. It is not even supposed that such machinery was necessary, as .ere never heard in Bo ;naparters (late of 44s 'army requiring any extraordki nary means o( traitiport to 'cross : this minim. But, why—even though. they had been necessary —soh, biting them from Strasburg, when they could be made at Bourdeaux or Bayonne? The arrangement seems I it ludicrous as if the Board of Works had ordered to be constructed at Edinburgh the famous Pagoda bridge for St. James's Park. The following is the -explanation of the phenomenon of the itinerant port toons :—A person of Strasburg pretended to have in vented a new species.' He offered them to the Go vei nment, which did' not see their excellence. He then addressed himself to the son of Belluno (le Mar quis de Belluno), with a present of (2 . ),000 francs. The virtue of the pontoons was soon manifest, and they began their journey to the Bidassoa. EXTRACT FROM•ANOTHEIt LETTER. Palm, Momtir Ecrxmc. Marshal Belluno is expected in town to-day ; he met with a most unwelcome reception from the Duke crAngouleme, who told him, g. If you remain with the army, I shall instantly write to my uncle, to say . that - I resign the command.. I do not wish for any one to replace General Guilleminot—him I will keep near me, or else I return to Paris." The Duke, though not a man of shining qualities, has yet good sense enough to be conscious of his own deficiencies, and to appreciate the talents of Guilleminot. The Duke certainly excels all his countrymen in one qua lity—that of modesty. M. Lost%ude, the Aide-de. Camp of General Guilleminot, whohas been brought to Paris in the custody of a gendarme, is an Ultra, whom General Guilleminot very prudently selected, as he said himself, to serve as a kind of paratouriere to his personal Staff— he will be set at liberty in a few days. It is said, that the4th Regiment has gone over to Colonel Fahvier, leaving behind but seven Officers and seventeen soldiers. The letters of the Duke d'Angonleme give the most al irming accounts of the progress of the desertion. Tll-?y state, that two fifths of the soldiers those who have been four or five years in the service, have got a most strange and absurd idea into their heads, that Napoleon is alive, and in Spain, and they are burning to join him. They call him k Mal-Mort. Singular to say, this opinion prevails also amongst the peasantry ; they cannot be persuaded of his death.—Morning Paper. INSURRECTION IN PORTUGAL. The Mote, a French Paper, gives an article under the head of Ciudad Rodrigo, March 20, which says that the rebellion in Portugal had been suppressed, and Count Amarante taken: His uniform, sword; and staff of command were taken from him, thrown on the ground, and trampled on by the whole army in succession, except by the regiment of Almeida, which Amaranthe had commanded, and who were therefore excused from inflicting this degradation. On the other band, a private letter in a Morning Paper, from Madrid, under date March 25, states as follows:—" Intelligence has arrived here, which per haps you may have heard before now, that of the 4,000 men who marched with General Rego to pur sue Silveira, 8,000 deserted from him to the ranks of the enemy on their approaching within sight of them, and that Silveira found it no difficult matter to de stroy or rout the remainder. If this be true, the. Por tuguese Constitution is nearly in as perilous a situa tion as that of Spain." .. ~.c,. SPAIN. • •'• MADRID MARCH Q. The Cortes departed to-day at noon, for Seville. The King's march, in the same direction, is truly a triumphal march. The voluntary militia, both horse and foot, of the different provinces, the clergy, and even the ladies, line the roads over which the Royal cavalcade passes, and cry out incessantly "Live the Constitutional King! Live liberty, and national inde pendence, and Bernal hatred to any kind of foreign influence!" Her Majesty appears sensibly affected by the testimonies shewir her on her journey, and is attentive in expressing her most lively satisfaction for the respect they so lavishly pay to her. She has been pleased to say to her servants, " I see I was de ceived ; I am much obliged to you, Seville; I shall give you proofs of my contentment." MARCH 25. Letters arrived here yesterday which announce that Ulman has succeeded in.getting possession of Mur viedro, the ancient Saguptum of the Romans. This fortress is one of the most important'places in Spain. It commands Valencia, and the fruitful district in its neighbourhood as far as the Ebro. - MARCH 29. Under date of the 18th, the Secretary for the Rome Department addressed the following Royal order to the Political Chiefs CIRCULAR. " The present state of our relations with the French Govern ment, and the fear that our just and circumspect conduct towards all the Powers of Europe may prove insufficient to maintain that peace and harmony which is conducive to the interests of ail, have induced his Majesty to put in practice every measure for avoid. leg a war, which the Spanish People neither fear nor provoke. " One of the most proper means for the attainment of this ob ject, doubtless, is the removal of the Government to a point suf. ficiently remote from the Pyrennees to afford the least possible hope of surprise to the French army, which is now advancing to that frontier, and at the same time so situated as to enable the functions of the Government to act with their wonted rapidity and energy. These considerations occasioned choice to be made of the city of Seville, the ancient residence of the Spanish Mo narchs. This city is so situated as to comblue advantages which might in vaiu be sought for in any other part of the Peninsula, and on a former occasion it afforded the repose and security ne cessary for the welfare of the nation when foreign armies, com manded by an usurper, came, with promises of peace and happi ness, to spread terror and de.olation through this favoured hind. " Designs of a similar nature, which were premeditated by our enemies, have been frustrated by. the foresight of the King, who. issued the necessary orders for effecting the above-mentioned re moval with all due speed. The safety of the King's august per. son, that of the !loyal Family, and all the high Officers of the Government, being thus ensufed, his Majesty will continue to exercise his solicitude for the public welfare in Seville ao long as circumstances may render his continuance in that city necessary for the preservation of the interests of the 'State, which Ms Ma jesty has sworn to protect at all hazards. " Nothing can be more gratifying to his Majesty than to ob serve the admirable seal evinced by the Political Chiefs end other Authorities in the discharge of their respective detiei r which at all times are esteemed sacred by patriotic Funcskmaries, but which arc much more so at the present moment, *ben the state of public affairs presents additional excitement for the exercise of every honourable principle. I " Ills Majesty wishes that the nature of the war intended to be commenced against a country which has always observed the most rigid circumspection iu her conduct towards the rest of Europe, should be well understood, and that the injustice aud Perfidy of such a proceeding should be felt. it, however, this aggression against the princtpics of the law of GJ11 , 1411 and . , • • policy should actuallY take place, the Span r, whiair*.shitl3ed• Against the arts of seduction by the prudent waroirgs of their p t iblic authorities, as well is by their own magtraniminis wad i meets, will firmly resist, and heroically subdde, the_ettetni Who, shall dare to set foot on the land in which they have socured to themselves so many glorious advantages. In conformity idah . these views, your Excellency will regulate your conduct, pro gressively communicating zo his Majesty whatever may be worthy of his royal attention, as he has ordered." FROM .T111:1 •1 1 111 VATE .CORItESPONDENT OF THE H ERALD. MIADOD, MONDAY, MARCH 24. The last account from the escort of the King left him at .Templeque, where he had arrived without the occurrence of any en cumstance worthy of notice. To day at noon the President and the. Svcretaries of the. Cortes, the greater number of the Deputies, together with the Ministers of State and Finance, took their departure for Seville. They, were escorted . by a co lumn of five or six hunched infantry, and a small body orcavalry. A few persons were .colltcted' at the gate of Toledo to see them pass, lint the - Deputies expected to see the people of Madrid itinounding them to bid them aJieu with tears; they must have beets sadly disappointed. There was no tort of de monstration of that enthusiasm which is so loudly talked about in the Ministerial Journals, and in all the official dispatches. From most of the provinces the intelligence clearly, indicates the approaching subversion of the existing system. The last conscription goes on in the most torpid manner. In Gallicia, it is said, the youth; called out fir the conscription openly refuse to re pair to their destinations, and a spirit of insubordina- tion to the general mandates of the Constitutional Authorities prevails there, which the force under Qt.iroga is suite i.iadequate to put down. Similar, if not greater resistance, is experienced by the civil and military authorities in - the province of Bilboa. In order to avoid the conscription, as well as the re • quisition for horses, the people abandon their houses and fields; agriculture is neglected, industry para lyzed, and commerce inactive. The opponents of the Constitution everywhere in that province carry on,their exactions and combinations in the most pub- . lic manner, nor have the allocutions, as they are styled, of the Political Chief the least influence. Hitherto the province of Asturias has scarcely been' heard of amidst the agitations of the other parts of Spain. It has been remarkable neither for ani exhi bitions of attachment nor resistance to the Constitu tution. By the last accounts, however, from that province, it appears that Oviedo, the capital of the Asturias, has risen against the present system, and there are as troops there to support it. FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, APRIL 6.—The Cones very readily granted the King two millions to defray the expense of his journey. His• Majesty was allowed only half the number of persons whom he required for his service. The Cones also voted two millions for the expense of their own journey, with the exception of the 8000 reals granted to each Deputy. It is said, that if the King goes as far as Seville; he will stop there only a .ferr days • and that the Cones will cause him to pro ceed to Cadiz, from whence they would embark for the Canary Islands, if necessary. General Morino is immediately to take the com mand of the second district. A Royalist Troop be longing to one of the divisions of Bessieres, has pene trated as far •as the Prado. Its object was only to -get provisions, or to observe the forces which form the garrison of Madrid. The Commandant of the place could only send one company of Carabineers! against this troop, but it had already disappeared. The progress of the insurrection in the kingdom of Valencia is confirmed. The Royalist chief Ulman has surprised a division of General Tones ; and the Royalists entered 'fennel ; it appears that this Chief meditates some movement upon Valencia. A Gentleman, who was enabled to pass two days at Bayonne reconnoitring, maintains, contrary to the information before received, that the French army will not be ready to march in less than a month. It is only a small picquet at most which can enter Spain immediately, for want of artillery and a Commis sariat. With respect to the Spaniards, they only wish the French to penetrate as far as Cadiz; they will take care, they say, that they never get out of the country. The arrangement respecting the French troops has been so bad, that it was pot unusual for a large body of them, on entering a town destined for their quarters, to find that another corps had also been assigned the same quarters, so that it had re ceived twice the number of men expected. There was no understanding between the Commissariat and Staff. The soldiers themselves were all young men, but the Officers were mostly not young, and they had contrived to communicate their spirit to the men.— At Bayonne about the beginning of this monthibread had advanced from 18 to 26 sous, and every other necessary of life was enhanced in value in propor tion.—Morning Chronicle. Yesterday, the LORD MAYOR held a Court of Al dermen at Guildhall, at which the thanks of the Court were unanimously voted to the Bishop of Bettstot, and the Rev.
