BAYONNE, MARCH 11.—We receive news Imo: Navafre and the three provinces,z of the 7th, Bth, and 9th, which informs us that the remaitts of Hes sieres troops, which had retired towards Logruno and Navarre, had bos-n overtaken by a column from Pampeluna, and by 120 c:valry, old troops and mi litia, of Logrono, wider the eoestmeritt of Ceittreet' Arena. They first cut off from the road. to the Pyrenees 350 of the factious who had succee.led in passing the. Ebro, and threw them into complete disorder, driving' them as far as Sangoesa, whence they retreated into Arrogan. The column of Arena successililly opposed 600 of the factious who at tempted to pass the Ebro, having attacked them on the 28th, though they were superior in number.-- The Constitutional troops tilled about 30 of them, took 300 prisoners, besides 500 muskets, and all the baggage. The prisoners have been taken to Sara gossa, and the arms to Logrinio. The. remainder of this band fled in cliff:rent directions, but the nil . . litia of the Ebro, who are animated with the most laudable real, were continually bringing in more f prisoner, to Logrono and Viana. Colonel Depablo Also overtop.! the fugitives, on the Ist of March, ut Fitero, charged the!" vigorously, took 60 prisoners, II and dispersed the rest. The disorder was complete, the field of 'settle bei-'g covered with arms, ammu• nition, &c. Capap6 ; ..vith SOO men, in miserable condition, has thrt:hit himself into Arragon, not beiug able to enter Navarre; hut lie is closely pur sued by Genetais O'Daly and Empeeinado. The columns of Arena and Deplabo have returned to Logrono and Pampelima. The object of the Con stitutionalists, to prevent the junction of Capape with Juanito and Santos Ladroa, has been accom plished, and there is no doubt but this wretched partizen will meet his , end in Arragon. The second in command, Leguia, wr-h; the Governor of Paospetnna, on the 4th, from Abta.,,,,, Mw, that lats..% Attacked the factions of Zuwala carregni, in the mountains of 'Lineal, he taimpletely dispersed them, and took 12 men, among whom is the infamousArmingat. who murdered in cold blood the Constitutional Colonel Carruchaga. He was conducted .a Pampelana, where he has probably already sutlered the punishment due to his crime. Lately we have received other reports from Col. Jaurcgny, whose troops have dispersed ant; neaten the bands of Gorostidi and the Cure, these witaelies having been obliged to seek refuge on the highest mountains of Guipusetia ; 50 of their soldiero have even arrived at Soeoa, in a condition which is truly afflicting. Thus the situation of the frontier pro vinces is improved in every respect, and order will be entirely restored there if the French army delays but a 'little longer its invasion of the Peninsula: the French army will have to do every thing, and disregard the plans and the promises of Quesada, O'Dounel, and other chiefs, whom the Guerillas will not obey unless they pay each soldier 40 sols per day. According to the detailed statements of the regi ments and battalions which have hitherto arrived at Bayonne, or which are to arrive the 2411 i of April, the grand total is 47,420 intitntry, and 9,310 ca valryAs . for the artillery and the train, as the organi sation tacit place at Dux, Pau, and °idles, we do not know their amount, but it may be taken at be tween 3 and 4,000 men, and 4,000 horses. The household of the King, or of his Royal Highness the Duke of A ogouleme, is stated at SOO I men, and 500 horses, of which 100, belonging to bib loyal Highness, are already in the city. These troops are to form three corps, and a corps of reserve as follows: — First cotps, commanded by the Dolce of Reggio; Ist division, by Count d'Autieliamp 2d division by Count Bourck ; :;i1 division by Count Oben ; Ist thvision of dragoons, Bsron Eustex. This corps is to enter Spain from Bayonne, pro. ceeditsg to Vittoria, Burgos, and Madrid, leaning on the scowl and third corps, and preceded by a corps of troops of the Faith under Quesada.

The Deputation charged to wait upon his Majesty with the answer of the Cortes to his speec:: on the opening of the session., proceeded to present the said answer. The Deputation :nor after returned, and Senor Salve, whe headol it, said, " Tlir deputation of the Cortes has put ii to hands of the King the an swer to his Majesty's speech which was read on the opening of the fecund periid of the legislature of the Cortes; and his Majesty received the same with his accustomed goodness. The deputation made known to the King the regret of the Cortes for his Majesty's indisposition, and their anxious wishes fur his con valescence." The '.'resident saici...—The Cortes are informed of, and sat Vied with, the manner in which the deputa tion has performed its duty. The President stated that the Secretaries hail been requested by the Government to direct the committee appointed to carry into eil;:ct the removal of the Cortes to Seville, to state the number of car riages which would be wanted for the members and their dliendents. He observed that the Deputies must be aware it is would be impossible for the committee, from ignorxnee of the wants of each de puty, to make a proper return on this subject. It would therefore be proper for each dept:y to state what he considered necessary lin- himself. HITTING OF Tauaiwar, 11411C11 6. A 'communievtion from the Secretary of State for Grace and Justice informed the Cortes that his Ma jesty was still confined, that he suffered less pain, though the left heel was much swelled; and that her Majesty the Queen continued subject to spasms. • The President stated, that the order of the day was the second part of the proposition of Senor Sutra, relative to the Madrid Militia, who were to accompany the Government to Seville. The report of the Committee to which the prop •• • mum has been inferred was read. It recommended that the individuals who volunteered, and who were to be organized in battalions or squadrons, should, during their journey, and ter one month after, have the full pay of soldiers, and the corresponding rations and quartering; but that those who might prefix. it five should have reels daily for the infantry, in lieu of pay and vations, and seven reels for the cavalry. It also recommended, with regard to students, that these who are attending courses in any university may prosecute their studies at Seville. Several ad vantages were proposed to be given to such of the militia as should volunteer to serve in the army during the war, &c. A discussion arose on 4sis report, and after seve ral deputies had spoken, the debate was adjourned. SITTING Or ram r, malice 7. A communication from the Secretary of State for Grace and Justice stated that his Majesty was still confined with the gout in the great toe of the left lout, and that her Majesty is somewhat relieved. SITTING or iaTiaavar, MARC* S. Several petitions were presented from persons who wished to juin the volunteer militia in accompanying the Governinent to Seville. Among them ve.ue one from Dou Rafael Cabezas, formerly a secularised monk. MADRID, MARCH 9.—The officers cf the first regiment of marine inlintry have addres , ed an energetic representation to the Government, stating their ardent desire to be allowed to assist in carrying into effect tit:: decre:: for removing his Majesty's person and Government to a place of security. His Majesty wishing by all means to manifest to Europe the ideas and sentiments which animate him, has t.:solved that the regiluelit which has liither:a PawE 9i so been called the Imperial Alezasder, shall in future be named the Regiment of the Llnion.t The brave men who compose die regiment, snd who have shown so devided'an attachment to the cause of liberty, will with pleasure relinquish a title of which they might at another time have been proud, bat the retaining whiCh now would be a real political. inconsistency. Several - despatches from , Abisbal detail the com plete destruction of the insurgent bands that hail approached Madrid. It appears that several of the leaders arc negociating fur the amnesty. The Po litical Chief of Gmulataxara sends a despatch, dated the 7th, in which he states that th& Constitutional tro(-ps under Don J. Dominguez had, at Trill°, Lan in with a band of factious, 500 in number, commanded by Bessieres himself, which he defeated, and took a great part prisoners. Bessieres escaped with only SO men. A letter from Lisbon dated the Ist instant, states, that an intrigue had been undertaken there which appeared to be sufficiently strong to subvert the Ministry. The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs obtained an honourable preference in this plan of proscription, which was supported by some good patriots, who had ffillen into the snares of the Holy Alliance. A list fors new Ministry was brought to the King, but he-firmly rejected it. The change of the Ministry was intended to be the first act in the counter-revolutionary drama. The Conde de Amaraute has since raised the standard of rebel lion; but the troops under General Rego - are hall of zeal for the constitution, mid the affair will soon be put down. PETITION AGAINgT THE WAR. The Members Tribunal of Commerce of St. Malo have athlressed the following petition to the Chamber of Deputies:—. " After baying bees subject to the chance* and the horrors of war, Fiance is still menaced with that desolating scourge.— Burdened with the weight of tee sacrifices imposed on her by the hatred of foreigners, he is now nailed to resign herself to new ones. What is the terrible neeeasity that domande these sacrifices? We know that it belong.. to the King amen to de cide this point; but ns it is poscilde that mistakenmr improvi dent counsellors may lend the Monarch into unjust and dan gerous wars, the representatives of the peopiA have the power of opposing them by withholding the subsidies, without which they minim( undertake those wars.
