The details of the movements of the French army are tedious and uninteresting. The accounts of the troops being received every when with enthusiasm is repented a hundred times. A telegraphic despatch has reached Paris, stating that the 2d French corps entered Saragossa oth the 25th ult., that the citadel of Jaca is in their possession, and that the Revolutionary Chief has been arrested. —The French are in forte at Burgos, within 100 miles of Madrid, but they are extended over a large space of country, and the slightest reverse would expose them to great peril. The Spaniards continue to act on the defensive. The French will-probably gut to Madrid in the course of this mouth. Reports are prevalent in Paris, that the Legitimates are negotiating with the Constitutionalists. The Jour nal de Paris mentions A rumour, which was be lieved, at Bayonne,, that M. de Martignac is gone to Seville on a mission, and those of the most distin guished Members of the Cortes had repaired to the headquarters of the Duke of Angouleme. Saturday last was the ninth inniversary of the King's return to Paris, on which occasion the usual • procession of the Municipal Body to the Metropoli tan Church took place; and his Majesty, after Mass, received their homage. The French Funds on this day left off at WA 15c. Bank Stock, 1,532 f. 50c. Letters from Madeira, dated the 21st ult., cora municate the tidings of a serious accident having befallen his Excellency Lord Amherst, withal at first excited considerable apprehension for his Lordship's life. His Lordship's embarkation on board the Jig. • pier, at Plymouth. was delayed some days by an illness, from which he had not entirely recovered when the Jupiter. sailed. On his arrival at Madeira his Lordship felt the benefit of his voyage thither, and was so much a convalescent as to be induced to rife on horseback. It was on this occasion, that in passing a horse which had been tied up, he received u severe kick from him on his leg, which was alarm ingly lacerated. His Majesty's ship Jupiter, with Lord Amherst and suite on board, sailed from Ma deira, for Rio Janeiro and 13eN;a1,4pri1 5. PIRACIES.-011 Thursday last the Ceres arrived at Liverpool, from-New Orleuns. On her voyage else was boarded by a pirate, near Havannah. The crew were most cruelly used, their clothing,• &c. pdslained,, and their provisions taken; so that the vessel was obliged to put into Nassau, to enable her to proceed un the voyage. The pirate had previously captured a Dutch. vessel, the individuals on board of which (with the exception of the captain and u pas senger) were put on board the Ceres.
