Every device has been practised to-day to spread , alarms where they are most likely to take effect—the Erchange. Marshal Moncey has been beaten by Mina; the Duke of Angouleme demands an aid of 50,000 men ; the Russians and Austrians are in full march, and England is going to declare against us. —These, and other similar rumours, however, have had no effect ; the funds maintain the same price which they have done for several days past.—Articles • in the journals have now adays little influence on opi nion.—What is clear to all persons of candour is, that the great majority of Spaniards are against the Revo- lution. This fact ought to ensure confidence corn - pletely ; for it is then of necessity that the Revolution should be finished.

EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER. 48 I hasten to announce to you that orders hate been transmitted to our ports of Fiume, Trieste, Ve. sire, &c. to refuse harbour to all Corsairs under the Spanish flag, who may present themselves, whether µ•ith or without prizes. " If they bring prizes and that they can be seized, they are to be put under sequestration, to be restored to their owners, who may reclaim their propetty. It is alsl known that instructions have been dis patched by our Go►ernment to the Naval Command ants of our naval forces in the Adriatic, the Mediter ranean, and the Levant. 4 , As yet no order against the entry of Spanish merchant ships has been issued, and it is possible that the commerce of Spain will not be entirely inter rupted. We believe, however, that our Government IA ill rather follow the example of that of Russia, where the merchants have been warned to abstain froth all sort of commerce with the parts of Spain and Portugal. The liveliest interest is felt bete respecting the military operations of Count Atnarante; our Court was the first to disapprove formally•the Revolution of Portugal." NEWS FROM THE ARMY IN SPAIN. MAT 8. FROM THE JOURNAL DES DEBATE. Ballasteros is retreating on the road to Valencia.— General Molitor has sent pact of his troops in pursuit of him, the other part is proceeding into Catalonia, and was, on the 4th, upon the Cinca. The head quarters were at Briviesca on the 7th. We have received intelligence from the interior of Spain, and particularly from Seville and Madrid, which is of the highest importance. The entry of our troops into Spain, and the success of our enterprise, has confounded the leaders of the Revolution, who have fled to Seville. The cones pondence of the Carbonari, the declarations of the Jacobin Journals all over Europe, the violence of the opposition both in France and England, had con vinced the Government of the Cortes that we were on the eve of ruin. They spread the report that there would be a ge neral insurrection in France the day we passed the Bidassoa; that the whole of Spain would take up arms against the Duc d'Angouleme; lastly, that the • defection of our army would be complete, and that it would take the tri-colored cockade. The surprise of the Government of the Cortes may be conceived when those three illusions •anished at once. France has re mained tranquil and happy; Spain has risen, not to repel, but to welcome with transports of joy, its de ; and our soldiers here shetra faithful u Max. M. San Mixed and -- now repeat their boasting, and their - rejecting with ridiculous disdain the moderate pripoials of the French Governtnent. At Seville they talk only of retreating to Cadiz ;- and the want of money is such, that there are no means to pay the King's journey and that of the Cortes from Seville to Cadiz. The Revo- lutionists who are the most implicated openly speak of taking the Royal Family to Ceuta or the Canaries. Some Militia, ill armed and equipped, form the whole garrison of Seville ; and it has not been even pos sible to drive away about thirty men, who have posted themselves towards San Lucar, on the Guadalqui- Ter, and intercept the communication between Se vale and the sea. In the interior, Ballasteros is abandoned by his soldiers. Morello has not been able to collect above twelve or fifteen hundred men.' Not a single armed body is met with on the great roads. Rego, finding nobody to support him, has turned back to Portugal. Ulman has not entered Valencia, as was stated, but is besieging, or rather blockading it, with Bessieres, and another Royalist General. They have, together, nearly 16,000 men, but no artillery, which hinders them from taking the city by assault. It is expected that it must shortly surrender for want of provisions, the coast being guarded by French cruisers. The approach of our army, and especially of , General Molitor's division, will hasten the fall of that great city. All the south of Spain, from Malaga to Carthagena, seems on the point of declaring against the Cortes. If you add to this picture what is now passing before our eyes in the north of Spain, in the part where it would have been possible that we might have met with some obstacles, it is proved that the whole Spanish nation' will have nothing to do with the revolution. In this universal decomposition, it is evident that the Cortes can have no resource; they cannot have soldiers by force, for they have no force; they cannot have them for money, for no taxes are paid, and no body will lend to the Cortes: a great and memorable lesson to those men 'who pretend to introduce into a country institutions which are repugnant to the genius and manners of a people; and who, not choosing to' content themselves with a wise liberty, calculated on the degree of civilization and knowledge, establish by violence theories which have nothing applicable but the evils which they produce. Accounts from Lyons state, that the Court of Cor- 1 rectional Police has passed sentence on two of the principal persons convicted of having been engaged in the mock ceremony of the Funeral of Commerce, on the 16th of February. Pinet has been condemned to six months imprisonment, and a fine of 600 francs; and Faure to one month's imprisonment, and a fine of 150 francs. ~ t..

This makes the whole amain burnt 151 millions of dollars. Frankfort Papers to the 4th instant reached us this forenoon. It will be seen by one paragraph, that notwithstanding all the sage prophecies of one of our contemporaries, the Austrian trobps are pursuing their march into the interior of the empire. The fol lowing are extracts : I • VIENNA, APRIL SA. The strongest division of thel7,ooo men that have come from Naples, is regularly proceeding on its march to the interior of tbe Austrian dominions, un der the command of Lieutenant-General Fernier. FRANKFOItT, MAY S. It is affirmed that the Marquis of Caraman, Am bassador from France at Vienna, has communicated to the Austrian Cabinetthe plan of operations adopted by his Government against Spain, which bas like w been communicated to the Emperor of Russia. —According to the reports spread on the subject, this plan is to make the French army advance to Madrid, to establish a Government under the name of King Ferdinand, and to convoke the Cortes accord ing to their ancient Constitution, which would re ceive such modifications as are called for by the spirit of the age. Besides this, the Duke of Angoulerne, as soon as he shall have fixed his bead-quarters at Ma drid, will organise, in the name of Ferdinand VII. a new Royal Army, which will be first employed to reduce Andalusia and Galicia, as well as the other Provinces in which the revolutionary spirit has made the most 'progress. The time that the French army will remain in Spain to guarantee the stability of all these changes, will be determined according as cir- cumstances shall be more or less favourable to the new order of things which it is intended to establish in the Peninsula. BT. PSTERABURGH, APRIL is. We expect to learn in a short time the result of our negociatious with the Porte. The preservation of peace with that Power it no longer a matter of doubt. M. de Tatischeff is publicly spoken of as the future Ambassador to Constantinople.

F'RONTIRitB OF MOLDAVIA, APRIL 1/. There ort that has lately been spread, that all the Greeks in the principalities were to be sent to Sills tria, does not appear to be confirmed.. The whole is confined to some Boyars ; among others, Wilmarn and Philepesco, who have been arrested. In general tranquillity prevails in these countries. A Lisbon Mail has arrived, with Papers to the Ist instant, the contents of which are important. It ap pears that General Rano continued his, pursuit of the rebel AMARANTE, but was unable to come up with him, and that the latter had so well defended himself against an attack made upon him by the Spanish General MomLo, that the latter considered he could not hinder him from proceeding in the di rection of Burgos, where he would probably join the vanguard of the French army ; in consequence of which General Rzoo was about to fall back upon Portugal.

The Captain says, that in Express arrived toAday at Oporto, with the news that the Pacificatory Army was in Leon, and that on the 25th it would commence its retreat to Portugal, because General blorillo had sent word by an Aide-de•Camp to General Luis do Itego, that he had attacked the Portuguese rebels, and that they had defended themselves in such a manner that be could not binder them ban proceeding in the direct - idiot Bur got, where he judged they might arrive on the 26th of this month, to join the van-guard of the French army. BRAGANZA, ANVIL 15. Our army was yesterday in Publa de Sanabria, in pursuit of the factious who were marching towards Benevente. The greater part of the Officers have joined us. The Militia which the factious had with them, were all dispersing. There is a great misun derstanding between the Chiefs themselves respecting their retreat, and the partition of the money. It is hoped that before we can destroy them they will ruin them selves, which is the most probable.—(Barboleta). LISBON, APRIL 29. A dispatch from General Rego, dated Sanabria, 15th April, says, the factious hating left that place in the morning, abandoning six pieces of artillery, the General was resolved to pursue them, and had written to the Political Chief of Zamora, requesting him to issue a Proclamation, declaring that the en trance of the factious into Spain is a direct attack on the Spanish nation, which merits to be repelled by all possible means; and that such men must be consi dered as the most terrible enemies. The General adds, that his troops long for the opportunity to an nihilate the rebels. Aram 24.—General Regn writes from Monbacy, the 17th, that he was making after the factious, but did not know whether they took the road to Laban Keza or Artoza ; in either case he would pursue them, combining his movements with the Spanish Generals, Vitho were effectually to assist him, and that he had applied to General Morillo, who, he learned, had ar rived, on the 4th inst. at Valladolid, with cavalry. Aram 26.—The Diario contains some particulars of the farther pursuit of the rebels by General Rego, who had not been able to overtake them. A piquet of ilitianish dragoons of the corps of Morillo had ar ab* at Monbacy on the 17th ; the rebels had taken the iota to Astorga, to avoid Morillo, who had left Letters from Oporto, of the 22d, state that t4ihead-quarters of the Constitutional Army *ere-W.44y at Astorga. M-The Mario contains an account ofthe arrival of the rebels at Leon, of their leaving that wins, and immediately, in consequence of the proxi mity Of the Constitutional Army. On the 22d there was a Council of War. It was ascertained that the faitious had passed the Esla, very far from Valladolid, where General Morillo was, for which reason he could not oppose them : the .re bels march day and night. Oar troops are animated with the best Spirit, but excessively flitigued for want of quarters, on many nights being obliged to bivouac in the snow, after marches of seven leagues. The express which brought this news had left Leon on the 23d, at two in the morning ; it had been re solved in a Council of War that the Constitutional Army should retire to the frontiers, it not being cone venifnt to advance any further ; the troops were to begin their march after three days repose. The rebels. were on their way to Burgos. Mr. LA TCH TO RD, the King's Messengerwho reached town yesterday morning from Spain, left Seville on the 96th of April, at which time that city was perfectly tranquil. He was the bearer of dispatches from Sir W. A'Couar. He crossed the Pyrenees, and coming lie Paris, also brought dispatches from Sir CHARLES STUART.
