Zebela has made a movement, the object of which appears to be •to join his little corps to the Army of the Faith, as soon as it shall appear on the Spanish territory. General O'Donnell arrived here the day before yesterday, doubtless to take the orders of the Duke of Angouleme. It tensing to be seen whether, on the return to the troops under his command, they will extcute them. for it is certain they do not seem well disposed to obedience.' We learn from Iron, tirat the Political Chiefs of the Spanish frontiers have had a meeting at Moil . dragon, to concert the final arrangements for re. moving all provisions, forrage, cattle, carriages. hi. and withdrawing the inhabitants into .the interior, in order to leave the country bare. This measure, in fact, has alseallybeen ententedin part, for private individuals have sent away all their valuable effects, particularly provisions, to a distance from the pro bible scenes of military operations. It seems that this want of resourees is foreseen by our Commander. io•Chisf, for measures are taken to send to the front provinces and necessaries for the army ; 200 wag gons loaded with such articles are to leave the city to-morrow, and at least an equal number every suc ceeding day. The want of horses is much felt, and those which have brought the pontoons here have been purchased at a high price. The pontoons have have arrived -here, and posed through without stop-. - Obeveriredi es the letteseiems of the gat artillery. The park of artillery at Pau has orders to proceed to the Bidassoa, to cover the erection of the bridgehm.

Lastly, (the third) that a column of Spanish prisoners, taken by the Royalist troops,. is going to enter France by St. Jean Pied-de-port, and to be sent to Toulouse. These, their orders of the dip, are countersigned by Guilleminot, Major-Gen. skewing, on one hand, that hostilities have com menced p • and on the other, that the Prince recog nises imly General •Guilleminot as Major General ; another proof of the' high favour with which be honours this general, is the flattering reception lie gave him yesterday at the review.: after speaking to him two different times, he shook hands with hint as if he had been his equal.

The Minister for the War Department rose (a lively sensation) and said—Gentlemen,—All efforts to stop the course of the faction which governs the amnesia of Spain having proved fruitless. Monseig neur the Duke of Angoulema received orders to pass the frontier, and on the 7th of this month passed the Bidassoa at the head of the army.
