II p+ F 1 f BAYONNE INTELLIGENCE. . s j 1 BAYONNE, MARCH 11.—We receive news from Navarre and the three provinces, of the 7th, Bth, and 9th, which informs us that the remains of Bes sieres' troops, which had retired towards Logrono and Navarre, had been overtaken by a column from Pampeluna, and by 120 cavalry, old troops and mi litia, of Logrono, under the command of Colonel Arena. They first cut off from the road to the Pyrenees 3.50 of the factious who had succeeded in passing the Ebro, and - threw them into complete disorder, driving them as far as Sanguesa, whence they retreated into Arrogan. The column of Arena successfully opposed 600 of the factious who at temptcal to pass the Ebro, having attacked them on the '2Bth, though they were superior in number.— The Constitutional troops killed about 30 of them, took 300 prisoners, besides 500. muskets, and all the baggage. The prisoners have been taken to Sara pea,. and the arms to Logrono. The remainder of this band fled in different directions, but the mi litia of the Ebro, who are animated with the most laudable real, were continually bringing, it more prisoners to Lagrone and Viana. Colonel Depublo also overtook the fugitives, on the Ist of March, at Fitero, charged them vigorously, took 60 prisoners, and dispersed thereat. The disorder was Amplete, the field of battle king coverul with. arms, ammu. nation, &e. CapaFe, with 800 men, in miserable condition, has thrown himself into. Arragon, not being able to enter Navarre ;, but he is closely pur sued by Generals O'Daly and. Empecinado. The columns of Arena and Deplalw have returoed. to Logrono and. Pampeluna.. The object. of the Con stitutionnlists, to prevent the junction of Capape with Juanito and Santos Ladron, has been accom plished, tend there is no doubt but this wretched partizen will meet his end in Arragon. The second in. command, Leguita writes to the Governor of Pampelima, on the 4th, from Aburrea„ Alto, that having attacked the factious of Zumala carregni, in the mountains of Buneal, he completely dispersed them, and took 12 men, among whom is the infamous Armingot. who murdered. in cold blood. the Constitutional - Colonel Carruchaga. He was conducted to Pampeluna, where he has probably already suffered the punishment dite to Lis crime. Lately we have received other reports from CoL Jauregny, whose troops. bave dispersed end beaten the bands of Gorostidi and the Cure, these wretches, having been obliged to seek refuge on the highest mountains of Guipuscoa ; ..SO. of their soldiero have even arrived at Socoa, in a condition which. is truly. afflicting. Thus the situation of the frontier pro vinces is Unproved 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 de every thing, and disregard the plans and the promises of Quesada, O'Donnel, and other chiefs, whom the Guerillas will not obey unless, they pay each soldier 40 Bola. per day. According to the detailed statements of the regis ments and battalions which have hitherto arrived' at Bayonne, or which are to arrive the 24th of April, the grand total is 47,420. infantry, and 9,310. ea-- valry. As for the artillery and the train, as the organi zation takes place st bax, Pau,. and Orthea, we do not know their amount, but it may be taken at be tween 3 and 4,000 men„ and 4,000 horses.

The President stated that the Secretaries bad been ,requested by the Government to direct the committee appointed to carry into effect the removal of the Cortes to Seville, to state the number of car riages which would be wanted. for the members and their dependents. fie observed that the Deputies must be aware that it would be impossible for the committee, from ignorance of the wants of each de puty, to make a proper return on this subject. It would therethre be proper for each deputy to state what he considered necessary for himself. BITTING OF TSLIIREIDAY, MARCIA 6.

SLTTINO 01 SAT JAY. XA/SCA 8. Several petitions wen presentectirein perscns wi:o wished to join the rclunteer riilitia imaccompanying the Government to 2Sville. Among them WAS one from Don Rafael Cabexas, formerly a secularized monk. MancH' 9.—The officers of the first regiment of marine infantry have addressed an energetic representation to the Government, stating their ardent desire t 3 be allowed to assist in carrying into effect the decree for romuving hia Nialesty's person and Government to a place of security. His Majesty wishing by all. means to. manifest. to Europe the ideas cad sentiments which animate him, has resolved that the regiment which has hitherto been called the Imperial Alexander, shall in future be named the Regiment sf the Union. The brave men who compose the regitr.ent, and who have shown so decided an attachment to the cause of liberty, will with pleasure rellosuish a title of' which they might at another time have been proud, but the retaining which now would be a real political inconsistency.. Several . despatches from Abiabal detail the cote ,fete destruction of_ the insurgent bands that had 1 approached Madrid. It appears that several of the leaders are negociatin,, ,, fur the amnesty. The Po. litical Chief of Guadalaxara ser.ds a despatch, dated the 7th, in which be states that the Constitutional trcops under Dun J. Dominguez had, at Trillo, fallen in with a band of factious, 500 ie number, commanded by Bessieres himself, which be defeated, and took a great part prisoners. Bessieres escaped with only SO men. A letter from Lisbon dated the. Jot instant, states, that an intrigue hari been undertaken there which appeared to be sufficiently strong to subvert the Ministry. The Scoretary of State for Foreign Affairs obtained an honourable preference in this plan of proscription, which was supported by some good patriots, who had fallen. into the snares of the Holy Alliance. A list for a new Ministry was brought to the King, but he firmly rejecied it. The change of the Ministry was intended to be the first 117 7 7"'" :~ act in the counter-revolutionary drama. The Condo de Amaran . te has since raised the standard of rebel lion; but the troops under General Rego are full of zeal for the constitution, and the affatt will soon. be put down.

The Menilx..rs of the Tribunal of Commerce of St. Melo have addressed the following petition to the Chamber of PreputiesL— After having been subject to the Ghettoes aid the horrors of war, France is still menaced with (bat desolating scourge.— Burdened with the weight of the sacrifices imposed on her by the hatred of foreigners, she is now calkd to resign herself to naw mien Whatis the terrible necessity that demands these sacrifices? We know that it belongs to the King alone to de cide this point ; but as it is possible that mistaken or improvi dent counsellors may lead the Monarch into unjust and dan gerous-wars, the representatives of the people have the power of opposing them by withholding the subsidies, without which they cannot undertake those wars " You know the motives of the war with which we are now threktened. Are they sulliciently important to induce you to consent to the lavishing away of the blood and treasure of France? Can they prevail un you to face the misfortunes which war must entail ? - The report of war has spread alarm among the trading, manufacturing, and agricultural cl ; all perceive that this meager. must bring about their The eitisenx who are not included in the abovementioned . &asses, experience other alarms and other terrors. Every. French been shrinks in. dismay from the dangers which threatewsociety at large, and which Must compromise the dearest cad most sacred interests.. " If these fears be well founded, if your wisdom cannot ob siste the misfortunes whith the great majority of the nation anticipates from war, we hope, gentlemen, that you will exert every effort to enlighten the King's Government, and to alter a determination the consequences of which may be very fatal.— Eor our own part, gentlemen, availing ourselves of a constitu tional rigLt, we are called to point out to you the disasters which war would occasion in a town especially devoted to me talline specteation ; and we conceive we are fulfilling a duty in expressiag to yea the wishes and fears of the trading class. ' " We are, &o." A private letter from Oporto, dated the Ist inst. eves some additional particulars of the insurrec . titulary movements of the Count de Amarante, a youthful fanatic, who, with his Mowers, created some alarm at Oporto.—Tho monks, and the agents of the French Ultras,_ are suspected of being the Fame movers of this resistance to the regular Go vernment. At Villa Beal some consternation pre vailed, where the timid, it is said, on the approach of the traitor!, declared for absolute Monarchy, the re-establishment of which is the object of the priests,.to prevent any of the church property from being applied to the service of the state, as these drones are become a perfect nuisance in various parts of the Peninsula. D'Amarante, it is reported was well ieceived at Chaves, and was marching upon Valmen and Braganca; but as a regular force hos been sent against him and his rabble partisans, it is hoped and expected that they will soon receive the punishment due to their iniquity. A Hamburgh Alai] has arrived, which contains an article dated Frankfort, March 9, stating, on the authority of letters from _Corfu, that ou the retreat of the Turks from Massolongi,. the Greek Chief pe netrated to Verochia, the capital of Etolia, and there had been an action with the Turks, who attempted to defend themselves. This they did for some time from their houses, till the Greeks set them on fire, when they were forced to retreat. 4
