The Quo tilienne, an extreme Ultra Papers, affirms what every person who is acquainted with the political senti ments and constitutional feelings of the people of Madrid knows to be false, namely, 'that the inha bitanni of that city entertain the most lively desire to sco the French speedily istrive! The same Journal mentions, on the authority of intelligence ' received from the head-quarters of the French, that the DuLe of Angoulente frequently re:Tires coll . tiers front Seville, so that it is probable neguciations Ire going on at present.

A letter from Bayonne says-;-" An unfortunate event, which shows that the war begins to assume a serious and dangercus character, is the assassination of five French soldiers, which took place ut Ernani, three days ego, in a house where they passed the night. This violation et' the laws of war and of hospitality will, no doubt, be severely punished; but the example that will be given will serve but to in flame the vindictive character of the Spaniards." A letter from Laredo, states, that when that port was tz.ken, the Arn,y of the Faith plundered it without mercy ; and that the garrison of the fort, which by the capitulation had liberty to join the constitational army, was sent to Eilboa as prisoners of war.
