Martignac has approved this Proclamation, which goes so much farther than that addressed to the Spaniards by his Royal Highness the Duke of Angouienie. Is the Junta recognised by the French Ministers as the real, the only Spanish Government? And in that case is it with it that ar rangements can be made for the settlement of the differences between the two Powers? The Junta declares positively, that everything of Government or of Administration that has been done in Spain since the day when the King accepted the Constitution of Cadiz, arc null, and ought to be rer,arded as void from die beginning. Let us see what consequences such a declaration may have, not only as respects Spain, but even Europe ; for the Government of the King of Spain has concluded Treaties with foreign Powers, has contracted Loans on every Exchange; and, lastly, the Ambassadors Of England and the United States, and Consuls of a number of Powers, still reside near the seat of the Constitutional Government. May it not be regarded as an act of direct hostility towards these Powers, to signify to them that they have agents residing with a Government, all the acts of which are null ? It is said that the English Government has made some observations on this Proclamation. It appears. to us so strange, and so carable of prolonging a war, which every good citizen must wish to see brought to a speedy determination, that we know not what to think of it. What astonishes us is, that such a Pro clamation should have been inserted in the Aloniteur without any reflection.—Constitutionnel. The Bourdeauz Indicateur announces the appear ance at the mouth of the Garonne of several Spanish corsairs. The Number which gives this news has been seized. Letters from Perpignan state that Sieur Cugnet de Montarlot has been detained in the fort of Rosas, on a charge of corresponding wit! the enemy. PARIS, APRIL 1n,.. By a telegraphic dispatch received from Bayonne, the 21st April, it is announced that the French army found thirty. one pieces of cannon at Pancorvo, With bombs and ball. The head-quarters were at Vittoria, where his Royal Highness the Duke was received with enthusiasm. On Sunday evening the Duke de Belluno held a Council of Ministers at the War Office. The Spanish prisoners who were ordered to Tou louse have received counter orders; they are now to be marched to Perigneux. Letters from Irun state, that the Officers of the re giments in that town, and who are ordered to join the army, are to be armed with muskets, as in the last war. The roads are already infested with Gue rillas, who are most audacious, even at a short distance from the army. The Duke has ordered that no soldier shall attempt to-join the army alone; they must go in a body, for fear of being picked off by the Guel illas. • According to the Bulletin (.1 yesterday, the Head quarters appear to be at Vittoria; hence, the army has advanced forty leagues into Spain. The Mondeur tells us nothing of either St. Sebastian or Pampeluna, • nor of the corps detached from that of the Prince. The Bulletin tells us the van-guard had passed the Ebro since it had taken Pancurvo, which is three leagues on the other side. We regret that details are • wanting of the passage of the Ebro, which appears' to have been operated without the least opposition; but in what manner ? as the bridge of Miranda had been destroyed. The Pilate has been officially ordered to contradict in its Journal the report of the Guerriere frigate having been taken, as well as an observation (impertinent enough) of the Prefect, that this proves what reliance is to be placed on the news furnished by the corres pondents of the Pilate. The Pilote, forced to insert this, excuses itself by :Kip& it did not give the news of the taking- of Pampalona, by which such injury was dr.ne at the Bourse—this is a rap over the knuckles of the Ultra Journals. The affairs of Spain seem to have operated on the • duration of the Session of the two Chagthers. Go vernment will not prorogue, but merely adjourn them, under the idea t . i,at new lgislative . ineasures (:1 new Loan, no doubt) may have to be di,co,sed. PERPIGNAN, APRIL 12. The insurgents, who occupied Murviedro, had re ceived an express, announcing that Mina had sent proclamations to Repoli, which were received with the greatest enthusiasm. Mina announces that the French would be able to enter Catalonia ; he there fore exhorts the Catalonians to be film, and assures them that if they remain united, they will be victorious. A battalion of the Army of the Faith, who have been new clothed, will set out to-morrow for Cer dagnc :it will make part of the brigade Bolongo the other battalions will follow almost immediately- There is no movement among the French troops, which indicates a speedy entry. into. Catalonia. APRIL 15. Lieutenant-General Coetlosquet arrived here this morning. It is said that he will take the command of the 10th division, formed of the Sd and 4th corps, which were destined for General Donnadieu. The authority which gave permission for Monks and Privies to make prayers in public, has been withdrawn. Two regiments of women have been formed in Barcelona for the service of the place, in case it shall be besieged. It will be recollected that doting the war of Independence, a similar battalion was formed at Geronna, whose courage in Catalonia Marshal St. Cyr so much praised. BAYONNE, APRIL 19. PROM A PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT. On the approach of the advanced guard, com manded by General Valin, the Coy stitutional troops and the militia retired on Vittoria. The right wing of the lit corps has taken the route to Bilboa. • A deputation of the inhabitants have petitioned the Duc d'Angouleme to prevent the entry of the Army of the Faith into that town. The Duke has acceded to their request, and marked a line of de marcation, beyond which the Army of the Faith is not to . pass. St. S:bastian's still holds out. A skilful officer arrived to-day to hasten the sending off the necessary artillery for a regular siege. It is said that General Tirlet will direct the operations. An engagement is said to have taken place be tween the Pastor and the 23d regiment; between Villa Real and Tolosa. The division of General Carmel is ordered to suc ceed that of Bourke, before St. Sebastian's. Pam peluna appears determined to make a vigorous re sistance. It appears, that the Spaniards are concen trating all their forces on the right, with a view, it is said, of enabling 'Mina and Ballasteros to form a junction. It is impossible to conceive the awkward position in which we are placed. Reports of every kind a re circulated : among those which prevailed yester day, the most remarkable is the arrest of the Trap pist, which is said to have taken place by order of his Royal Highness, in consequence of some excesses which he had committed against the Constitutional inhabitants. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. " PARIS, MornoAy EvEnNa. " The Journals which I send by this express wiN give you all the information from the seat of war that has been suffered transpire. It is, however, reported and believed in the best-informed circles, that a Spa nish Declaration has been issued and received in Paris in answer to that of the Duc d'Angouleme issued on crossing the Bid assoa, but that the' French Go vernment will not suffer it to appear in the Journals." The Paris Journals of Sunday contain little intel ligence fiorn the army. The. port and citadel of Guetaria, a place of no military importance, has been occupied by the French troops, who are said to have taken two Colonels, ten other Officers, and two bun dled men, pri s oners, with five pieces of cannon.— It is also said, that the forts of Pancorvo • and Burgos have been evacuated,• and that " every where the French army meets with the best reception!' St. Se bastian is of course excepted. But the way in which the French Journals blazon forth the most trivial mi litary operations of the army, shews how little it has really accomplished. Guetaria, the capture of which is made the subject of a particular communication from the Major-Gene. ral of the Grand Army, is about twenty miles, or somewhat less, due West from St. Sebastian. As its occupation is a proof of the progress made by the in vaders, so the five pieces of cannon that were found there shew the strength of the place. Another great military operation of the French army has been the occupying the valley of Arau, which was protected by a Spanish Officer and 20 sol diers, who of course did not attack Field-Marshal Baron Rzynnun, who was specially selected for this service, which ought to have been confided to a serjeant's guard. The Field-Marshal consequently occupied the valley of Aran, and the French Journals pay him the homage of their praise " for the spirit and zeal which his soldiers mariireited," in this most daring achievement. The Pilate jlas the following -paragraph, which would appear to confirm the capture of the Guerriere French frigate by the Spanish vessels::-..“ We re ceived a letter from Brest of the 14th of April, which announces that the Guerriere frigate was just cap tured by a Spanish frigate and another vessel, after an action (,f eight hours." The French Rentes, on the 21st, openeS at 133 f. 90c. and left off at 831. 60c. After 'Change they rose to 811. 10c. • SECO\ D EDITION. STAR-OFFICE-TWO O'CLOCK. We have just received, by another express, the following advices from Perpignan of the progress of Marshal MONCEY'S division of the Army of the Py rennees. In the hurry of sending them off they have been left without date; but. on their authenticity our Readers may xely: " The division of the Army of the Pyrennees under Marshal Moncey has at length entered Catalonia. The corps under General Milan penetrated by Fi gueras ;and that of Curi3O, which has been so long stationed in this vicinity, by Campredon. " At Carrano, Milans was encountered by a body of the Spnnish Constitutionalists. After a short but smart engagement, in which the Spaniards sufft.rcd severely, they were put to the route. Two hundred of them were taken T prisoners, who immediately after made an offer to enlist into the French army, which was accepted." We find the following important statement in accounts from Mayence, of the 10th of April : " All the letters from Vienna still express hopes of peace, and it is generally believed there that negotiations will be immedi ately renewed between France and Spain, and that England will act a great part in them. The last Note of Mr. Gottnots to Prince NIEITIRNICH contains a declaration of the Cabinet of St. James's, which considers the difference between France and the Peninsula as a dispute between those Powers only, and shows that England would not be inclined to suffer other Powers to in terfere, unless in a pacific view ; being herself determined to take up the defence of the weaker party, if a certain Northern Power should pretend to take an active share. The Court of Vienna is said entirely to coincide in all these sentiments." Bayonne Papers to the 16th instant reached us this forenoon. They are of considerable interest, as show ing the indecision of the French Commander; the little progress that the army has made in Spain; and the growing difficulties with which it will have to contend : BAYONNE, APRIL is. The occupation of Bi!boa by the French troops was at the re quest of the inhabitants, who feared that the Army of the Faith would he guilty of excesses; and a linc has been drawn which the troops of the Faith are not to pass. Advantage has been immediately taken of this occupation to send by sea from our city provisions, ammunition, &c. of which the army is in very great want. Several vessels have already sailed for this purpose; but if we may believe reports that seem to be well founded, armed vessels are going tube sent from St. Sebastian, which may pick them up on the way. The fact is, this voyage is so hazardous that underwriters cannot be found to insure against capture. Anion; the multitude of reports, we may notice that of a se rious engagement said to have taken place between Villa Real and Tolosa. The Pastor is reported to have placed an ambush on an eminence near a difficult road, and to have done much mischief among our troops, especially the 93d; and, it is added, that General St. Hilaire lost his baggage. St. Sebastian holds out, and it will probably be necessary to besiege it in form. What most embarrasses us is the want of horses for the artillery ; and a considerable dumber is required-9000 for this army alone. It is true that 6,000 are said to have been purchased in the - terior, but when will they arrive? However, the pieces that are here, and those expected from Toulouse, are going to be sent off by such means as can be found; and for this, as has been al ready done for provisions, all the farmers' horses will be em ployed. This is a great hindrance to the labours of agricul ture, which are backward on account of the nature of the season, and may cause a partial failure of the crop this year. An Of ; Seer of Engineers arrived yesterday express from head-quarters to hasten the departure of a train of heavy krtillery. Pampeluna is very tranquil : we have spoken to a person who left it the day before yesterday; they expect the french with firmness, especially since• 1700 men have entered the town, bringing cattle with them. This place will stop a part of our troops longer than was expected, and will disappoint those who expected that they should go in a body to Madrid, and even to Cadiz. It seems that a diminution of the force of our army is foreseen, from the necessity of besieging some placer, and leaving garrisons in them, for it is said that twenty thousand men are to pe taken from the corps of Marshal Moncey to form a fifth, which will pass this way. This reduCtion of Moneey's corps would give room to Mina,and enable him the more easily to exe cute his plan of suddenly attacking us in the flank on the river. Ballasteros acts with the same circumspection, avoiding every kind of engagement till the proper time shall come. The great news which makes all the adherents of the Faith tremble with indignation, is the arrest of the Trappist, by the command of the Prince, for having violated his orders by ill treating the Constitutionalists. The Spanish paleaDers ta k e „ b y Sautos Ladren, and wbo, according to their account, were be trayed and sold by Colonel Salcedo, are at length on the way to Toulouse, and are to be to-day at Pau. The bridge of (run, destroyed in the last war, is going to be repaired. - The division of Carmel has received orders to pro ceed to St. Sebastian to take the place of that of Gen. Bourke, which is to go forward. The 3d and sth dragoons arrived here yesterday ; they are weak and badly mounted. No mail from Madrid or Seville. An Ambassador of the Holy Alliance has just arrived to the Junta, which is at Ortbes. A large English vessel, laden with rice for the army, has ar rived here. Letters from Maftinique, dated the 15th March, announce the art ival of tne Jean Bart, but make no mention of the Spanish corvette stated to have been captiatd by that ship, in her voyage outward, as re ported at Lloyd's, and noticed in the STA n of yesterd On the other hand, the report of a French ship of war hairing taken — a Spanishvesse laden,with specie was current at St. Thomas's on the 27IT,iild is mentioned in the letters from that island. - . 411 Vi .11 1 w 'Q int Led own law tom lir. .P factil ti meni Of c illed II CHA MAN V Brunswick Activate, for r writi :pc cut: reland systo tnized.
