PARIS, APRIL 2. • We are assured that the Ministers will this day present to the Chamber of Deputies a law project, for the organization of an army of reset ye. by antici pation on the levy of 1813..lonrnal des Dd,nts. The Ministerial livening Journal announces, • that " to-morrow, a call will be made For the army of re serve," which doubtless' means that a law project will be presented by the Ministers, fur a new levy of men. The same Journal, as far as we can divine its mean ing, through the obscurity of its language, insinuates that we shall soon be made acquainted with the pro clamatiou of thelluke of Angottleme.--Constitutionnel. Those wlia 'persist in believing in peace, quote, in support of their 'opinion, what one of the most influ ential Members of the opposition of the tight, and who is, at the same time, one of the most decided partisans of the war, said on Monday, in speaking on the Budget, respecting " an ambulant diplomacy." They explain these exptessions by the departure of Martignac, who is still supposed to be invested with powers to negocilte. They speak also of the re cent arrival from Madrid of the Abbe Ducos, for merly a French emigrant, who has been a curate in Spain, and the Queen's confessor ; and it is said that lie is to return in a few days, according to some to Bayonne, according to others to Seville. This journey, insignificant as it may be, and which may, perhaps, have for its object only private affairs, is nevertheless considered by many persons as a political mission. This is not surprising, for, in the serious situation in which we now are, the slightest circumstances become the subject of comment, and acquire a great inte rest,—lbid. Letters from Bayonne, dated the 27th, state, that M. de Lostande, Aide-de-Camp of General Guillemi not, has been arrested and conducted to Paris. The Spanish Chief,Gorostidi, alter an unsuccessful attack on Irun, has arrived at St. Jean de Luz, with 600 men. All the revolutionary Spaniards who have en deavoured to disunite Quesada s troops, have been ex pelled from Bayonne. The Spaniards have spread a report of Bessiores having capitulated, and accepted the armistice.—Journal des Debats. 19 MARCH 2s. The Junta of Catalonia having solicited the favour of being presented to his Royal Highness, were in formed that the Prince would willingly receive the Members as private individuals, but that he could nct give them audience in the character they had as sumed. The Curate Torderas and Father Mire were presented in the name of the Spanish Ecclesiastic . Refugees, to his Royal Highness, who received them very graciously. The Baron dtroles continues to organise his troops. He refuses to recognize any act of the Regency.— Several Chiefs, among others Carol, have renounced every kind of military duty. Misas is banished to St. Laurent de Cerdans, where he lives quite retired with his family. A great number of other Officers have laid aside the epaulets which indicate their rank. There is in general very little harmony among the refugees. The division of El oles will encamp as soon as armed, at the distance of a short league from Per pignan, between the villages of Baizas and St. Esteve. The news from the frontier announces the arrival at Campredon, of aforeign legion, 900 strong. It has taken the name of The Legion of Death."—Froil the Constitationnel. BAYONNE, MARCH 27. An Aide-de-Camp of General Guilleminot was arrested yesterday, and delivered into the custody of two gendarmes, who have taken him to Paris. The , reason assigned for his arrest, is a military conspiracy, in which he is implicated. Longa, a Chief of the Army of the Faith, being un- : able to get 200 Officers uniforms made, has sent to Toulouse, a Jewish merchant, named Moines, who is said to be in high credit with the Chiefs of the Faith. These Chiefs continue to purchase horses, ' good and bad, at any price. They pay 1000 francs ready money for them. Accordingly, all the inha bitants are eager to take advantage of this rise, more especially as the food for horses was become very dear. All Spaniards known to be attached to the cause of the Cortes now in this town, have received orders to depart without delay. Letters from Saragossa state, that Capaspe, Bes sieres' Lieutenant, has finally capitulated with Gene ral Ballasteros. The foreign legion which was formed at Bilboa is gone to Tolosa : a part, it is said, will proceed towards Iran. It h. to serve as a free com pany. On the departure of the last accounts, the Pastor was still at Irun, where he was employed in organizing his corps. Two b att alions of volunteers have arrived at Bar. celona from Majorca. Ten thousand muskets of Eog lisli manufacture have been landed at Bilboa.—lbid. Farscu I'w:tn.—Five per Cents. opened at 78f. 80c. highest 7Sf. 90e. and closed at 781. 5.5 c.

Sen tier used the greatest violence towards an officer of the peace and the soldiers of the Swiss Guard. The King's Advocate abandoned the accusation against the first tour. The Tribunal condemned Rouen to a year's im prhonment, and 500 francs fine; Sentier to half a ear's similar punishment and 50 francs fine; Marcel, Sang, Chartier, and Desloge:, were acquitted of the charges brought against them. 2111141.1AVEST.M.Srrit - • • aleili=ol=Zi t ii. 1 i TO • .

The Foreign Market was very heavy this morning, with little doing. .Spanish Bonds opened at 293, 4.

There has been little or no business done to-day, and no fluc tuations whatever in prices. Spanish Bonds remain steady, which could scarcely have been the case, had the report in a Morning Paper, which was said to exist, viz.—" That an answer, which was far from satisfactory, had been given to a deputation sent to inquire what certainty there was that the dividends would continue to be paid," been true. 'We have inquired from persons holding Spanish Bonds, and cannot learn, with cer tainty, that any such deputation has been sent. The whole paragraph is thought by most persons here to be a mere fabrication, to answer the anti-British and anti-Liberal pur poses of the Newspaper in question. Some persons persist in believing that the French Declaration of War is in town ; while others say that it is only a draught of this Document, which has been sent over for the approval of our Ministers, who are to modify it in such a way as will enable them to help both parties, as soon as possible, out of their unfortunate dilemma, with the least possible dishonour to the present Ministry, and the least possible injury to the Spaniards. Anything more absurd than this cannot well be imaginal. PRICE OF STOCKS AT ONE O'CLOCK. 3 per Cent. Consols 74 3 / 8 V I 3 / 8 4 per Cents. New 94 3 / 8 1 / 2 —lndia Bonds 31s. 30s.

The Quarterly Statement of the Revenue, which will be made up to-night, but not officially promul gated till Monday, is, we understand, highly flat tering. Even in the department of the Customs,' notwithstanding the recent repeal of the Tonnage Duties must have taken away a source of about £4.0,000 per Quarter, the improvement in the last Quarter, as compared with the corresponding one of the preceding year, is very considerable. The view of the real state of the lonian Islands, given in the speech of Sir THOMAS MAITLAND, the substance of which we yesterday laid before the Public, appears to have confounded yet not shamed his calumniators. The 7 imes first appears to be struck with its want of interest. In the view which that Journal so frequently takes of men and mea sures, we can easily suppose that it is indeed a matter of very little interest to it, whether a great public functionary, and, in him, the character of the nation, is cleared or not from unmerited obloquy; but we should hope that such a tone of feeling and thinking is not common among Englishmen. For the sake, too, of mere consistency, we think the Times might have spared the Public this piece of affectation.— The affairs of the lonian Islands were not so wonder fully devoid of interest, when it was the object with a certain party to calumniate the conduct of the Bri tish Government in the administration of them ; and singular it does seem that they should just become so when the documents which vindicate that conduct make their appearance.—Formerly there was nothing more "momentous," more " grievously," and "lament ably," and "deplorably" affecting the national charac ter, than the conduct of Sir THOMAS MAITLAND, " the eyes of all Europe" were upon us; but now that the conduct of his Excellency is placed in its true light, and the benefits produced by his administration are proved beyond all doubt to have done honour to, his country, nobody, if we might believe this oracle, cares anything about the matter. Having thus determined that the Speech is with out interest, the limes proceeds, after a very pro-a found way, to shew how it is so. First, there is " a superior importance in scenesand events nearer home;" and second, " link trust can be prudently reposed in any official statement, whether of fact or principle, that proceeds from the Government of these ill-fated islands." What !—No trust in official statements!— No reliance on matters of "fact!" None, verily; for " whether of fact or principle," everything which proceeds from the Government of these " ill-fated islands" must necessarily be false. 111-fated islands, indeed, to be placed under a Government which can not be believed, were it even to swear that currants are currants! Need we strive farther with such a spirit as this? Well might Sir THOMAS MAITLAND say to the lonian Deputies that it was " sufficient for them to feel, and for his Majesty's Government to know, that they actually enjoy more of the blessings of civilized life, more liberty, and a greater degree of prosperity and affluence, than many of those coun t, ies in which there is an affectation of lamenting the tyranny and oppression under which they falsely say they (the lonians) live." We have received intelligence from Bayonne to the! 28th of March, at which time there was not the i l slightest indication td hostilities being commenced col early as was expected. Indeed it is stated that " the . I French army sill not move at pre•.;:r.t, becan..e it is. only half complete ; send *la% kcal)* it has In) means Jimmnoe to advance 2,7 which is dec. tared nee es :sagy.'imijg ,in Spain iitel "Wilt . l- fincl, pothig.'

Accounts from Saragossa state, that two superior Officers had gone from Mequinenza, to propose a ca. ! ..of I pitulation ,to the Constitutional General, which was accepted ; and that two Officers of the . Patriotic army remained at Mequinenza as hostages, until the capi tulation was effected. 1 It is also said, that the Chief CAPAPE has surren dered at discretion to General BALt.ASTPROS, who has granted both him and his men a full pardon. JAvuAGuir, the Pastor, is still at Irun, where he is preparing to make a resistance, if, as it is believed, only the troops of the Faith shall attempt the passage. The Pastor has said that they called him a Brigand, and that he would fully justify this appellation when the French shall enter. GOROSTIDI was at St. Jean de Luz, where he was organizing a battalion of the men he had brrught there with the Trappist, who always carries the crucifix in his hand. QUESADA, who has not been to !run, as was re ported, sent a request to Bayonne, from St. Jean de Luz, to bave six field-pieces, but the Marshal to whom this singular demand was made, answered that it was not necessal y; and they were, consequently, not sent. It is stated that the garrisons of the little towns of the three provinces, without opposing any resistance, as soon as the French appear, intend to join the first principal corps of the Constitutional Army they meet with. Horses are out of all price at Bayonne: the Army of the Faith buys up all, good and bid; sometimes at 1000 francs each. All the citizens have sold their horses on account of the high price; the scarcity of forage is great. The Aide-de-Camp of General GUILLEDITNOT was arrested on the 20th ult. and sent to Paris guarded by two gendarmes. Some say that he is implicated in a military conspiracy ; but others say that it is for having committed a forgery. The troops of the Faith have ill-treated a Mayor in the environs of St. Jean Pied de Port, because he would not lodge them all in the village, which could not maintain them; fears were entertained for his life. This forenoon we received a Lisbon Mail, with Papers to the 21st ult. They are full ofdetails respect ing the insurrection of ASIARANTE ; but they are neither satisfactory nor wry intelligible. It appears, however, that after several rencontres between the Constitutional forces and those of Count d'Ama- RANT; the insurrection was not suppressed, but that it continued so formidable as to make the General of the Constitutional Army talk rather of defensive than offensive operations. The following are extracts : LISBON, MARCH 19. The following is the latest news published of the Constitutional Army: " General Luiz do Rego Barreto, after the affair of the 13th, with his van guard, encountered the fac tious, and an action took place with loss on both sides: he thought fit to concentrate the troops under his command, and transfer his head-quarters to Ama rante, whence he wrote the following dispatch : " Most Illustrious and Excellent Sir—l send en closed the dispatch of General Rego, and besides what it can tell your Excellency I can add nothing, unless it be that the greater part of the officers who were taken prisoners chose to go home rather than remain with the factious as was proposed to them, ex cept Captain Mayer and Lieut. Navarro, both of the battalion of Cazadores o No. 10. " I have collected some Cazadores, and more would join me, but for the country people, who ep. pose their march.

P.S.—The proposal to remain or not with the factious was made by Major-General Luis Maria . do Souza Vahia, who is wounded in one arm. .4 Most Illustrious and Excellent Sir—l have given orders to fortify the interesting points. of the I'arnega, to leave them secure; to be able to do which, I am anxious to move upon Traz-os-Montes. By accounts which I have received from the Governor of Beira, /. know that the passages of the Douro are guarded. The factious have not yet come down upon our detachments ; the bridge of Cavez is secured, and I send thither some of the troops that arrive. The spirit of the troops is excellent, and they are eager to revenge the outrage done to the brave Cazadores. 4 , The people in this pan of Traz-os-Montes are almost all in a state of insurrection, deluded by the proclamation of Antonio da Silveira, and armed; but I fear nothing front this arming of the people, as, when we enter again, the presence of troops will keep them in check. I hope that Brigadier Claudino will join me as soon as possible : as soon as he arrives., and some more force, 1 will effect the movement of our troops. I do not much desire to trouble the militia, stho ought only to be employed in garrisons and convoys ; but unless I obtain acme mote trovs o! the line, it ' wilt be absolutely necessary toemploythem on othe r services. I have sent to the Governor of the Dictiirr of Oporto for 3,000 pair of shoes, the troops nearly bare-footed, from the long marches and th e dreadful roads in the Mountain?. • " In order to cut off the rebels- ham it retreat* Galicia, I applied to the General of the p-i=ovinceit Orme, and to the Commander of fcirceinil/04 Rio, smith a- view to gain time, to meet again with rebels; who, suffered cOnsiderableloss in .the skinned' of the 13th.
