1 -,11M..W111.7111111,NV1N1F fl" FRENCH PAPERS. -ier Pasts, Manes' 18.—The Journal de Toulouse contains the following paragraph under the head of Figueras, March 51— " General Mina, who has visited every part of the province, is expected here in a few days. It is said that in a few days he will have in Lampourdon alone, 12,000 infantry, and 1,000 cavalry, without including the active and volunteer militia. Pass ports for the interior are given to all suspected per . Rms. it is in agitation to remove the Judges of 1819, as well as the Political Chietit and the Gene rals who have not given sufficiently strong pledges of their devotion to the constitution. ' In short, the Communeroes look forward to a political regenera tion such as ought to have taken place in March, 1820." The Gazelle de France yesterday describe an at. tempt to cause a conflagration at Toulon, as the re sult of a dreadful plot, the object of which was the destruction of the arsenal and even of the town itself. The article which appeared to be official, because the news arrived by telegraph, has excited peat alarm. The matter, is now explained—that as to say, a journal that night gave the lie to the story, and described what had happened in the fol lowing terms " The fire was discovered at three o'clock in the morning of the 11th, in a wooden hut, 12 metres long by 5 wide, inclined to the west of the Pigou here of the port. A part of the hut was employed as a depot for carpenters' tools, and another part was appropriated to the reception of articles used in ship-caulking. " The hut was entirely destroyed, and the fire communicated itself to the Pigouliere ; but that being a stone-building, and vaulted, it afforded an opportunity for checking the flames, and about half past four the conflagration was completely got under. The damage is estimated at 5,000 francs. " The naval commandant has directed an enquiry to be made into the cause of the fire. Suspicion basing fallen upon some galley slaves, who were employed during the night in draining the ditch Is Baliene." Yesterday, about fifty young gentlemen, belong ing to the late province of Bretagne, who happened to be at Paris, proceeded to the house of M. Manuel, Deputy for La Vendee, to express their satisfaction at his conduct in the sittings of the 3d and 4th of March. The Nacelle, a journal published at Rouen, states that all the members of the 4th battalion of the National Guard have expressed an unanimous desire to contribute to the subscription for purchasing a a complimentary musket to be presented to M. Mercier, and that in less than a quarter of an hour 50 names were placed on the subscription list. The journal gives the names. Quesda has addressed a proclamation to the in habitants of the three Biscayan provinces. He does. not hesitate to assert, that the sentiments expressed in the speech of Louis XVIII. have been repeated with enthusiasm by the whole of France, and that the Duke of Angouleme is coming with 100,000 men, not to dictate laws to Spain, but to set free their captive King. The Biscayans are afterwards told that there are but two nations in Europe, the one consisting of Atheists, who want to destroy altars and thrones; the other of pious men, the friends of legitimacy. The former conspire in darkness the destruction of every thing sacred. The latter are represented by the magnanimous Princes of the Holy Alliance, the conservators df social order. The leader of the Faith has also published an address to the Constitutional troops, inviting them to join him ! These proclamations are dated fit. Jean de Lus, March 10. It is stated that there has been a great fall of snow in the Pyrennees, which renders some of the roads that communicate with Spain impassable. PARIS, MARCIA 19.—Before mass, the King gave an audience in his aparments to the Preialent of the Bureau of the Chamber of Peers, who presented the project of the law in relation to the veterans, passed in the last session. • \s The President of the Chamber of Deputies had also the honour to present to the King the different proje , :ts of laws adopted by the Chamber in its late sittings. At noon, to-day, the King presided at a Council of Ministers, which I.►sted till two o'clock. They write from Naples, under d•►te of the 21st of February, that the Minister of Finance of that kingdom directs, with great success, the game of hgh and law, in regard to the public funds, and that every body under him very religiously adheres to the examples of his Excellency, so that it is not rare to witness the Exchange crowded with groups of persolp belonging to his Ministry, This Minis ter, moreover, appears to be one of the first finan ciers of Europe, for the .500,000 ducats of stock sold to'divers capitalists at 75, may new be re-purchased at 66, - THE NATIONAL REGISTER The journal of Toulouse of the 18th of Nfarch asserts, that an estafette arrived that morning, ad dressed to Lieutenant-Gen. La Croix, commanding the 10th military division, bringing the news that the Duke of Angouleme might be expected on the '2oth instant. . _ M. de Gisbert, Minister of the Regency, arrived two days ago at Toulouse. It is asserted that he waits the arrival of his Royal Highness the Duke of Anvillone. An estalette despatched, it is said, by the Direc tor-General of the police of the kingdom, passed this town on the morning of the 12th, on his way to Perpignan. News from the frontiers of Spain (Perpignan) of the 10th, state that the Chichi Montane, Mosen Anton, and Carol, re-entered Catalonia from France, and, with their followers, occupied for the few last days that part of the province which borders on our frontier; but yesterday a column of consti tutional troops marched in order to meet with the division of the three chiefs, which amounted to about 1,300. They met with it at Cantaloup, but at its approach they retired without the loss of life on. either bide. This divialbn re-entered France by Perthus, on the 10th. The constitutional troops in Catalonia advance upon our frontier. The Ibreign legion, organised vt Barcelona, embarked on the 4th instant fur the same destination. _ Letters from Cadiz of the Ist announce, that the National Guard of that town, to the number of six thousand.men, are exercised every day in uniform, and that it will meet death sooner than fall again under the yoke•of despotism. Foreign menaces have at last put all Spain in motion, and if the invaders have not large corps of the urmy to encounter, they will not find the tewer enemies on that account. The following is a letter from Brest of the I 3th of March:—" You will recollect that the Brest squadron put to sea on the 15th of February—it was composed of a ship of the line, having on board Admiral Hamelin, the brigs Lancer and Euryalus, the frigate Le Guetricr, ar.d the corvette licbe. After the first day the brig Lancer sailed to the west, and with it the corvette Hebc and the brig Euryalus, returned to the roads. The latter having suffered much, took its station in the Gulf of Gas cony, where the winter is very severe. Towsrds the '22d of February it made Cape Ortegal, and met a considerable number of English ships bound to Spain; but on the Bth and 9th of March, the vessel was struch by a horrible tempest ; its gear were carried away, and a heavy wave wetted even its powder and provisions. A sailor was lost, and 23 hurt; five severely. The vessel leaked in all parts, and re-entered Brest on the l I th of Marzh in a most wretched plight. Such is the result of a cruise, which even the English do not attempt in war time, in such a season, and which has been as troublesome as useless." The situation of Madrid becomes every day more critical. It is generally supposed that ere the King leaves Madrid, oceans of blood will flow, as was the case when Murat in 1808 carried off, from the pa lace of Madrid, the Intiints Don Antonio and Don Francisco de Paulo. It is said that many of the lower orders and a great number of military officers have joined tbr the purpose of opposing by three the departure of the King. Every night a great num ber of these surround the palace : as soon as they perceive that the royal family are to be removed, the bells of Santa Martha are to be rung, which is to be the signal for u general rising. It is calculated that the journey of the King and the Cortes will coat thirty millions of reaux, but the Government does nut know where to get it, as the coffers of the Treasury are exhausted,.especially as it is not above two or three days since that the Government gave five millions to General Ilallasteros. Bertrand de Lis and a numerous party have de termined to oppose the departure of the King. Gen. Ballasteros, not having been able to enter Arragon, has been compelled to return to Madrid. The last letters Gout Lisbon and Oporto represent the insurrection of Amarante as of no importance. FRONTIER& Or NAVARRE, MARCH 11.—It ap pears to be decided, that l'ampeluna, St. Sebastian, and Santagona, which arc well provisioned, and ca pable of a long resistance, arc the only places that will be defended. The rest of the country will be abandoned to the invaders, tin. which the inhabitants are preparing, and ali business is suspended. The people of consequence are retiring to Curunna with their fitmilies, because Galicia is one of the points in which a stand will be made against the enemy, and it is there that the activity of 1809 and 1811 is re newed and will be displayed. MADRID, MARL II 9.—A1l is ready for the deprtr tire of he King, though we are assured that his Majesty will nut leave until the 17th or 13th, if his health then permit. The journey will be as secret as possible. The Cortes will follow the King. It is now decided that the report of the state of the nation will only be discussed after the arrival of the Cartes at Sevilla, where ()acre have been given fut - the accommodation of the King, the. Ministry, and the Cortes. Twelve hundred troops of the line, and the same number of the Volunteer Militia, have offered to accompany the Government as un escort. _ . A NCONA, Fra. 28.—A ship from Corfu brings the important news of the surrender of Patra.s to the Greeks, after an assault, on the I.sth February. The master of the ship asserted, that the' news had been brought a little beibre his departure by advice sent by express from Patras to the British Governor of Corfu. The Greeks had in this affair SOO killed, and 400 wounded. The Turkish garrison was put to the sword. ,This place is one of the most its portant in the Peloponnesus; it was under the command of Jussuf Pacha, one of the best Generals of the Porte. ZANT:',, FEB. 17 —(From a private letter.)—A ship-master from the Continent has brought news to-night that Aero-Curinthus capitulated on the 6th of February, and that the Turkish gar;6on, reduced to 1,200 men, extenuated by disease and famine, arc to be transported to Asia Minor. We shall soon receive more extensive details of this event. Mean time I can announce that the Castle of Patna; •is treating, for its surrender with General Mauro cordato. It is to surrender on the Ist of April, if it be not by that time relieved. Our last news from Etolia stato that Omer Brione, attacked in his lines by the Suliots, who landed from the Cefalonia, where they had taken refuge, is wandering in the mountains of 'digraph°, whence he hopes to reach Janina. TRIESTE, MARCH 3.-A vessel from Corfu, ten days on its passage, brings news that Corinth had capitulated, but that the garrison had tint departed fur want of British vessels to transport them. . News from Missalunghi state that the approaches to Prevesa and Arta were in the possession of the Greeks: Ndtitaf, the terror of the Mahometuns had joined Odysseus, and waited the arrival of the force under Bozzari to try a coup de main against Larissa, and possibly Salonica. The force of the three chlefs amounts to 55,000 men. The Greeks arc animated with the greatest enthusiasm. FROM SATURDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. BANKRUPTCY ENLARGED. J. H.

A private letter from Oporto, dated the Ist inst• gives some additional particulars of the insurrec tionary movements of the Count de Amarante, a youthful fanatic, who, with his followers, created some alarm at Oporto.—The monks, and the agents of ;he French Ultras, are suspected of being the prime movers of this resistance to the regular Go vernment. At Villa Real some consternati o n pre vailed, where the timid, it is said, on the approach of the traitors, 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 received at Chaves, and was marching upon Valnien and Braganits; but as a regular force has been sent against him and his rabble partisans, it is hoped and expected that they will soon seccive the punishment due to their iniquity.
