PARIS PAPERS OF MONDAY. PARIS, Arun. 7. It is generally asserted that to-morrow will be the day on which the French army, under the command of the Duke ,d'Angouleme, will pass the Bidassoa. There is, then, no longer any hope of peace. If we tnay believe what is re ported as having been said by Lord Fitzroy Somerset, the Spanish Government absolutely refuses to make the smallest concession - with re gard to its political system. On Monday last the grenadiers of the tst bat taltot► of the Gth legion of the National Guard of Paris, and the chasseurs of the Sd company of the same battalion, who joined them spontaneously, invited their former comrade to a dinner at Martin's, in the Rue de Chatelet. Their number was considerable, and the guests would have been still more numerous if the room could have contained more. Many citizens and distinguished artists were also present. The utmost unanimity and the most frank cordiality presided at this meeting. Of the tdasts given the following were received with peculiar enthusiasm the King, the charter, and the constitutional institu tions"--" To the National Guard"--"To the prosperity of commerce and industry." Every thing was conducted in the most perfect order.— (Conslitutionn el.) It has been remarked that the order of the day by the'Duke d'Augouleme, which announces war, was countersigned by Lieutenant General Guil lerninot, as Major-General. This order of the day is dated March 30; yet the Duke of Bellow), named Major-General by the R,oyal ordinance, arrived on the 29th at Bayonne. The subject tuls given rise to all sorts of conjectures.—(lbiti.) BERrIGNAN, MAitcit 30.—The news from Barcelona con firms the taking of Murviedro by Ulman's band. The troops of the garrison were sent out to meet him. Ulman avoided the force sent against him, and presented himself before the fort, where only a weak guard had been left. In consequence either of cowardice or treachery, the place was given tip to him. As soon as the news was known throughout the province, columns under the command of General Manso marched from Ali. cant and other points on Murviedro. Ulman put a garri son in the fortress, and took the field, Ile took care not to be shut up in the place, as it is not provisioned. On this ac ; count it is expected that it will soon be retaken by the Con stitutionalists.—(ibid.) BAYONNE, Arum I.—The departure of General Guille. minot, for Paris, was announced ; but his Royal Highness has ordered him to remain at his post. It appears that the order for the arrest of Al. de Lostande took place without the Gene. ral's knowledge, who was not informed of it until after his Aide. de-Camp had been sent off. We this moment learn that 1,500 Constitutionalists have pre. rented themselves on the banks of the Bidassoa : they perform. ed military evolutions, and defiled to the sound of music.— Consiitutlonad. NEWS FROM THE FRONTIERS. BAYONNE, APRIL I.—The Duke of Angouleme arrived here the day before yesterday, at half past seven in the even ing. All the troops were under arms; all the avenues through which the Prince passed were crowded with citizens of every rank, who made the air resound with cries of Vive le Roi ! Vlve le Due d'Angoulethe Vivent les Bourbons The town was illuminated spontaneously and without any orders. All the windows displayed colours : in tine, the joy was universal.— Next day all the Civil and Military Authorities presented their homage to the Prince. Among the number were the officers of "the staff of the Army of the Fault : namely, Generals Quetettla, Egoia, Espagne, Longa, and the Trappist; the latter was in the costume of his order, and attracted general notice. Ilis 'Royal ilighness reviewed the troops on the glacis. To-day two batteries are to be moved forward to Itehoble, for the purpose of facilitating, if indispensable, the construction of a bridge of beats over the Ilidassoa. Every thing 'giveareason to expect that in a very few 'lays the French army will pass the frontier and enter Spain.—( Jonrnal des Debuts.) PARIS PAPERS OF SUNDAY. [From the Cottstittitionnel.] PARTS, APRIL i3.—They write from Colmar, dated March 31 : " We have been In a stateof anxiety for three days, in con sequence of the measures of police adopted by the Magistrates. All the gates of the town have been shut except those of Basle, Brisach, and Routiliel, which are, however, strictly guarded. Every traveller is rigorously examined, and con ducted to the Prefecture it his passports are not perfectly in order. Numerous patrols during the night augment the alann, and give rise to the most strange reports. We are ignorant of the cause of all this." They write from Toulouse of March 30 : " An order of division, dated to-day, announces that the Duke d'Angoideme is invested with the title and powers of Superior Commandant of the 10th and 11th military divisions, and the division of the Eastern Pyrenees ; that the Lieutenant Omni's commanding these territorial divisions are to recog nise and execute the orders of his Royal Highness, only pre .serving their authority distinct for the ordinary service, and for the business of military justice." The -Grand Duke Constantine, whose late journey to Petersburgh was made with great ra pidity, set out from that city on the 14th of March to return to Warsaw. (Front the Journal des Defbate.l PARIS, Amu. 6.—Two journals announced yesterday that there had been a mutiny at Brest. According to our information the whole affair was only one of those quarrels which are very frequent in garrison towns ; at the end of which the Municipal authority published a Proclaim• tion to re-establish the order which had been for a short time disturbed. They write from Lyons, dated April Ist. " The manufactories of Lyons improve daily. The number of labourers out of employ who so licit charity in the streets, diminishes daily, ant) though the price of articles has not yet risen so high as at the most prosperous times, it is not the less true that the greater part of our population is occupied. The public sule of silks which at Lyons may he considered as the thermometer of prosperity, has been so rapid in March as to re semble our most prosperous times." I Prom the Quotidiennel PARER, Aram G.—The Courier Francais has stated that. there is an epidemic disease in the Arriege. Ile is deceived, however, and may be consoled. The health of the inhabitants and of the soldiers has suffered no alteration. It is true that the germs of well known disease, not epidemic, however, have been imported into this department, but measures were so well taken that there is no danger to fear. The Courier may have seen, as we saw a few days ago, some physicians and medicines passing by the Boule vards, for the purpose of curing this disease, if it should show itself. PRIVATE COILILESPONDENCE. " Plrnrturrnx, MARCII 29.—Marsha1 Moncey yesterday visited Bellcgarde, and returned in the evening. " Licut—Geneneral Curial is about to establish his head quarters at Ceret; the whole of his division will be cantoned on the right bank of the Zel. The division of the Baron de Darnas will be formed in the environs of Perpignan. The Ist regiment of light infantry, forming part of his division, will arrive the day after to-morrow, and the others will soon follow. " It ix said to be intended to organize two battalions of Miquc lats. All the Officers on half-pay have received letters from the General Gonunandant of the Department, requiring to know whether they will serve. It is also said, that a superior Officer, who served with distinction at the head of three corps under Marshals St. Cyr and Macdonald, has been desired by Marshal Moncey to make a report on the manner of organizing these corps and rendering them useful. " The head quarters of the 10th division have been ordered by the Minister to be transferred from Toulouse to Perpignan. 'lhe whole of the Stuff will set out the Ist of Aprillo Toulouse, to proceed to. Perpignan on the 3d." [Prom the Piloted CUIDAD RODRIGO, MARCH 20.—The rebellion attempted in Portugal is already suppret'ved. The last ad vices informs us that the COunt of,Amarante has beenjaken: His uniform was taken from hiM in the presence of 6,000 men, and he was laid on the ground, with his sword and his staff of command by his side ; after which all the troops de filed, and passed over him, with the exception of the Regiment of Ahneida, of which he had been Colonel, and which re quested General' Rego to dispense with their trampling upon the sword and the uniform of Amarante, who had formerly cominanded them with honour. Itego granted their request. This mode of degrading a traitor produced a great effect on the ,army. HAMBURGII PAPERS. STocicuoLm, MAKCIS 18.--Two persons have been arrested by the police, and examined, respecting the scan dalous letters to the governors of the provinces, with the forged signature of Gen. Hoist, but this had not afforded any clue to wards the discovery of the crime. In order to lead to a dis covery of the author, a fac-simile of part of the letter engraved on stone has been issued to-day with the newspapers. The motion for malting the Sittings public was discussed in the Chamber of Nobles, and after along and animated debate rejected by a majority f 127 votes. The motion has likewise been rejected by the Clergy and the Peasants, and only the Chamber of Citizens has declared in favour of the publicity of the debates. _ ST. l'ETEnantinatt, 3lAnctt 18.—Exchange on London 9 5-16;—Amstertlam 0 ;—Hamburgh 8 23-32;—Paris 100 i.

MADRID, MAacu 29. • Under date of the 18th, the Secretary for the Home Department of the Peninsula addressed the following Royal Order to the Political Chiefs : ,CIRCULAR. " : The present state tof our relations with the French (3o vermnent, and the fear that our just and circumspect conduct towards all the Powers of Europe may prove insufficient to maintain that peace and harmony which is conducive to the in terests of all, have induced his Majesty to put in practice every measure for avoiding a war, which the Spanish people neither fear nor provoke. " One of the most proper means for the attainment of this object, doubtless, is , the removal of the Government to a point sufficiently remote from the Pyrenees to afford the least pos. sible hope of surprise to the French army, which is now .ad. vancing to that frontier, and at the same time so situated as to enable the Government to act with their wont ed rapidity and energy. These considerations occasioned choice to be made of the city of Seville, the ancient residence of the Spanish Monarchs. This city is so situated as to corn. bine advantages which might in vain be sought for in any other part of the Peninsula, and on a former occasion it afforded the repose and security necessary for the welfare of the nation when foreign armies, commanded by an usurper, came, with pro. mises of peace and happiness, to spread terror and desolation throughout this favoured land. " Designs of a similar nature, which were premeditated by our enemies, have been frustrated by the thresight of the King, who issued the necessary orders for effecting the above-men tioned removal with all due speed. The safety of the King's august person, that of the Itoyal Family, and all the high ofli. errs of the Government, being thus insured, his Majesty will continue to exercise his solicitude for the public welfare in Se ville so long as circumstances may render his continuance in that city necessary for the preservation of the interests of the State, which his' Majesty has sworn to protect at all hazards. " " Nothing can be more gratifying to his Majesty than to observe the admirable zeal evinced by the Political Chiefs and other authorities in the discharge of their respective duties, which at all times are esteemed sacred by patriotic funtionaries, but which are much more so at the present moment, when the state of public affairs presents additional excitement for the exercise of every honourable_ principle. " His Majesty wishes that the nature of the war intended to be commenced ,against a country which has always ob. served the most rigid circumspection in her conduct towards the rest of Europe, should be well understood, and that the injustice and perfidy of such a proceeding should be felt. If, however, this aggression against the principles of the law of nations and true policy should actually take place, the Spa niards, who arc shielded against the arts of seduction by the prudent warnings of their public authorities, as well as by their own magnanimous sentiments, will firmly resist, and he roically subdue, the enemy who shall dare to set foot on the land in which they have secured to themselves so many glo rious advantagei. In conformity 'with these views, your Ex cellency will regulate your conduct, progressively communi. eating to his Majesty whatever may be worthy of his Royal attention, as he has ordered." THE KING'S JOURNEY. At every itage of the King's progress, the Mi n i s t ers sen d dispatches to Madrid. The last; which appears in the Espeeta dor of the 27th, will serve to show the form and style of these official communications : I hereby make known, that 'the Secretary of State for till Home Department has transmitted to me the following letter " ' Excellent Senor,—Their Maj esties and their Royal High nesses arrived here, at two o'clock in the afternoon of this day, without any alteration in their important health. They were received amidst repeated Vicar for the Constitution and Con stitutional King, pronounced by the inhabitants with an enthu siasm truly patriotic. By Royal order I make this communi cation.

" Madrid, March 25. A Correspondent of the Espectatior (called a confidential friend) who accompanies the Court, writes daily to that Paper. The following are sonic extracts from his letters : " VILLAKUBIA DE LOS O.IOS DE GUADIANA, MAIWII 23. —We left Madridej os at one o ' c l oc k, a nd a rrived here at half past five in the evening, without any disagreeable occurrence. The King, arranged lag night the journey here instead of to Villalta, aR that town had been ravaged and burnt by the French In the last war, and there remain in it only 50 habit able houses, which are in a wily wretched condition. All the rest are in ruins, and form a striking monument of the benefits conferred by foreign armies. The houses that are standing would scarcely have sufficed to lodge their Majesties and the Royal Family, and the rest of the 'company must have blvou sexed in the open air, which would not be very pleasant during such nights as the present. - This town is very liberal. The in habitants express a kind of indignation and horror at the very name of the French, who, during the war of independence, werefluilty of many atrocities in the environs. _ " 1 forgot to tell you, that on passing Ocano on the 21st, his Majesty alighted to view that unfortunate field of battle. He asked General Zarco del Valle various questions respecting the positions and movements of the two armies, and walked over ground moistened with the blood of his subjects, which they shed to rescue him from the French, and to replace him on the throne of his ancestors! What recollections did not this scene excite amongst us! " The King travels in perfect good humour, and does not now complain of the gout, whatever the French Gazette May say." " MAtizAti4turs, .11.1A;91 24, two o'clock P.M. " My dear Friends—We have his moment arrived here, having left Villarubia de los .Ojos at 0 in the morning. On the entrance of the King and the other Royal Persons in Man zanares., his Majesty was saluted with the greatest enthusiasm, and with repeated shouvi of Viva el Rey Constitucional. Even the Infantes were received with cries of Vivan lei Infante: Constitucionales. The militia of Alanzanares and Almagro, in handsome uniforms, and well armed, were drawn up at the entrance of the town. The spirit of this place is excellent.— I was lodged along with a fellow travelle r i n th e 'h ouse of th e curate. The first question the, worthy priest's Itausekeeper asked was, whether we were Constitutionalists ; and, on our; answering in the affirmative, she Was act -riverjNed, that she with difficulty restrained herself from embracing us. The houses in the street through which his Majesty passed were hung with draperies. Every one we converse with applauds the measure ofremoving the King from Madrid to Seville. " The Madrid Militia are scarcely to,. be distinguished from veteran infantry in discipline, subordination, and perseverence, " Mina, Abisbal, Ballasteros, and Morino, are very popular here. The Universal, Diario Nueva, and the Espeetador, are constantly read in the clubs, but th e p a p ers w i t h w hi c h these journals kept up a constant war in Madrid are not known." " MaNzAxan.xs, MArten 26.—We have halted in .this town, which is certainly one of the most liberal in La Mancha. Last night there was a general illumination ; bands of music paraded the streets, and patriotic songs were sung. The.house of the Ayuntamiento was beautifully illuminated with lanips of various colours. Near the portico there is an elegant constitu tional lapida (stone pillar) ; on the sides of which are inscribed the names of Padilla, Bravo, Maldonado, Lacy, Porlier, and Acevedo. " This afternoon the battalion of the Marine regiment, the infantry of the Principe, Granada, and Don Carlos Regiments, and the two battalions of Madrid Militia, were reviewed. The martial and spirited appearanoe of these troops astonished the spectators. The fine uniform of the Madrid militia attracted attention, but in no other way could they be distinguished as troops who had never before left the capital. " The King and the Royal Family heard mass in their apart. meets, in the house of the Marquis de Salinas. Everybody else went to the parish Church, which is large and beautiful.— The Serviles will nevertheless persist in calling us heretics, though the Church could scarcely hold us. " To-morrow we proceed to Valdepenas, where we shall pass the night, and shall stop only one day instead of two, as was intended ; for his Majesty chooses to take part in the divine service of Holy Thursday, and to continue his journey on the, Friday. The Political Chief of Ciudad Real and the Intendant are here. This morning the King held a levee, which was at tended by the Ministers, the General commanding the escort, the officers of the staff, and of the division,&c. At eight o'clock last night the band of music belonging to Don Carlos's regi ment, after playing under the windows of the apartments where the King and Royal Family are lodged, proceeded to the house of the Minister of War, and those of the other Ministers, the commander of the troops,the Political Chief of La Mancha,&c. An immense multitude of officers, soldiers, and inhabitants, followed the music, singing patriotic hymns, and shouting yivas for the King, the Ministers, Mina, and other distinguished chiefs. Joy and enthusiasm prevailed, but amidst the general exultation the most perfect order was observed, and nothing but endearing expressions of union and fraternity were heard. The night was most beautiful, but the fine moon-light did not destroy the effect of the illumination." VALENCIA, MARCH 20.—Yesterday, about ten in the morn ing, the factious entered the castle of Saguntum. We know not as yet how the criminal surrender took place, but the fact is certain. General Clarke has arrived here to take the command of this city. PARIS, Arum 7.--(PRIVATE LETTER.) • " The Duke de BELLUNO arrived at Paris early this morning. He reached Bayonne on the 30th, soma hours before the Duke d'AsraouLEDIE. He had immediately an interview with Guilleminot, the Major-General of the army, whom he came to supersede. Guilleminot still retained his post, notwithstanding the Royal Ordinance in the Mimi. teur appointing BeNun° to fill it. IBS Royal Highness ar. rived some }tours afterwards. He was itiunediately waited upon by Guilleminot. The Prince deSired him to conH tinue in his appointment: his Royal Highness added, that the mission of the Minister of War, and the dismissal of the Major-General, whom be had himself selectc:l, was the result of an intrigue, which he would take care to . defeat.—, The Prince, in the course or the evening, received all the Gene ral officers of the army at Bayonne t nay, even gave an audience to the Trappist, but refused to have any communication with Belluno. On the following morning his order of the clay to the army astonished the public, by corning out countersigned by Guilleminot, who had been superseded, and not by Belltino, who had been appointed in his stead. The Minister, thus seeing his services declined, became sensible how far he himself had de. dined in influence by leayingthe War-office, and resolved to turn to the right-about for Paris, covered with ridicule instead of laurels. It is not stated whether in his retreat another carriage has broken down under him. It is supposed that he will find it difficult to effect a lodgement in his former hotel, where he, however, this morning alighted.—l formerly mentioned to you as one of the e:uses of Belliino's disgrace the ruinous contracts which he had authorized for the benefit of his dependents. One of the most striking of those jobs, because the most undisguis. cd, was the contract for pontoons to cross the Ilidassoa. It is noteven supposed that such machinery was necessary, as we never heard, in Buonaparte's time, of his army requiring any extraordinary means of transport to cross this stream. But why—even though they had been necessary—why bring them from Strasburgh, when they could be made at Ilourdeaux or Bayonne? The arrangement seems as ludicrous as if the Board of Works had ordered to be constructed at Edinburgh t h e f a mous Pagoda-bridge for St: James's Park. The follow ing is the explanation of the phenomena of the itinerant pon toons :—A person at Btrasburgh pretended to have invented a new species. He offered them to the Government, which did not see their excellence. Ile then addressed himself to the son of Belluno (le Marquis de Belluno), with a present of 20,000 francs. The virtue of the pontoons was soon manifest, and they began their journey to the ilidassoa."—( Times. ) A M E It I C A. Intelligence from Vera Cruz has reached Charleston of as late a date as the Ist of February, which states in the main that ITtruniDE, had been abandoned by many of his partizans, who had declared for the republic, and that he had retreated to the interior with a small guard. The reports do not appear to be well authenticated. We have ourselves received files of Vera Cruz and city of Mexico papers, although not of so late a date, but can collect from them nothing to justify the expectation that the revolt of Santa Anna would prove formidable to the power of Iturbidc. With these papers we have also a published edict of the Emperor, by which he prohibits the importatio►l of any Spanish property, or goods or merchandise of any sort from Spain, and subjects all such to confiscation. The Spaniards and Mexican Creoles who wish to leave the country have permission, but are not ►suffered to carry any property with them. NORWICH, APRIL 8. Mr. Secretary PEEL in January last addressed a circular to the Visiting Magistrates of the twenty gaols and houses of correction, where tread wheels have been esta blished ; " asking how long the tread wheel had been in operation ; and whether they had found any injurious effects had been produced by it, on the bodies or legs of the prisoners who had worked th ereat ?" Th e replies of the Magistrates i n effect were, that n o i n j ury of the sort was complained of ; on the contrary, that the tread wheel conduced to health rather than otherwise.—Th e following is the answer from the Rev. Chancellor Yonge ,s , weltam, Titli January, 1823. SlR—Being one- of the Visiting Magistrates of the Swell. ham Bridewell, ant resident upon the spot, and having shown your letter of the 18th instant to such of the other Visiting 11Iagistrates as I have seen, I send you the following an swer to it, with their concurrence. The Tread 'Wheel has been In use here about four months, and during that time no in j urious effects whatever have been experienced to the health of the prisoners ; indeed, we finished our report to .the Sessiona last week, with observing, that " though there had been in general a large number of pri soners, they have been very healthy ; which may, perhaps, in some measure, be owing to the regular exercise on the Tread Wheel." We have had. about 78 prisoners during that time. I have also seen the medical attendant on the Bridewell, and his opinion likewise is that the exercise of the Tread Wheel is very salutary. I am, &c. llobhouse, Bsq. (Signed) YONGE. 41 . • The Inquiry to which the foregoing article refers does honour to Mr. Secretary PEEL, from whom every regard to official duty and private humanity, may be confidently expected; and it is highly gratifying to find thin it received so satisfactory an answer front the Reverend Magistrate.—(ED. of THE SUN.) THE FRENCH DECLARATION -ON ENTERING THE SPANISH TERRITORY. We are at length enabled to lay before our Readers .the French Declaration of Hostilities, signed by the Duke d'ANGouLcme, and counter signed, not by his Highness's Major-General, but by M. MARTIGNAC, who; our Readers are aware, is attached in a diplomatic capacity to the Army. The document, indeed, although issued by the General in Chief of the Army of the Pyrenees, is not a Military Proclamation, but a Slate Paper, or political Manifesto, of the alleged motives and objects of • the war. It was prepared in Paris, and bears the date on which we some time since stated it to have been received in London. The date, however, has been altered (no uncommon thing in diplomacy), in conse quence of the time origiaally fixed for the entrance of the French army into the Penin sula having been Postponed. Some of our contemporaries not only denied, with an air of authority, that the Declaration of France had been received in this country, but affirmed, with the same confidence, that no Declaration what ever had been drawn up,—that none Was intended to, be drawn up,—and that none consequently would be issued ! The Public can now judge of the degree of reliance which ought to be placed on such statements. As for the document itself, which we subjoin, we' know not which most to admire , --the unblushing effrontery of its assertions, or the utter failure of the attempt which is made in it to define the object and intentions of the French Government. Nothing can be more unjust and unfounded than the former ;—nothing more vague, aimless, and puerile, than the latter. The Spanish Government is accused of having tried every means to corrupt the French Army, and to excite troubles in France, and of having invited French refugees t o organize rebellion against the Government of France within the Spanish territory ! What then ! These provocations cannot be alleged as the cause of the war; for they have only been offerefl since the King of FRANCE announced that war was already resolved on, and that a hundred thousand Frenchmen were prepared for the invasion of the Peninsula! The hostile measures adopted by Spain were of a defensive, not an offensive, nature; or, at most, were in tended as a retaliation for the open and undis guised support given to Spanish Rebels by France; and, as we have already said, were not adopted until after the intention to invade Spain had been formally declared by the French King ! The only colourable pretext, therefore, on which the ad vance of the French Army could be justified, is one which has not occasioned hostilities, but has grown out of the attitude of decided hostility as sumed by France, and out of the numberless acts of hostile aggression and ins►ilt actually committed by her Government against Spain !—l3ut after Franco has stated all the grievous wrongs which have provoked her to this war,—wrongs which she has supported with such unexampled patience during" two whole years," and for an atonement of which she has moreover" waited two months and a half, in vain,"—after she has enumerated all her complaints, for what purpose does she at length resort to arms ?—ls it to take vengeance for the injuries which have been inflicted upon her—to obtain indemnity for the past;and, by the occupation of some of the Spanish Pro vinces, to gain security for the future ? 0 no! She is not the enemy of Spain, but her auxi liary !—She does not march to' punish Spain for her qfl'ences, but to promote her happiness and her glory ! She has no design to sub jugate the Spanish Nation, nor to take Mili tary possession of its Territory, but sirrioly to liberate the Spaniards from the Spaniards, — to free Spaj from herself,—.-ami to “snatch whole 'people, from the domination of a j'e:: am bitious persons," in which they are inexplicably held by some unaccountable and mysterious charm that can only be dissolved by the sword of the Duke of ANGOULEME! After the French Army shall have accomplished all these superaa• tural achievements, they are to return—good , disinterested, and pious souls—most unlike any other French Army that ever yet ell* tered an enemy's country,— they are to return,—if they happen to be left alive, —into their own country, without looking either for in demnity, or security, or reward,but quite " haPPY in having preserved a generous people from the calamities generated by a Revolution !"--Thie cant can impose upon no one ! The procee din g s of the French Go vernmen t and the move ments of the French Army mu s t be we ll watched. -- But the King of S PAIN ! how are the F rench to catch him ?—ITow are the affairs of the provinces which the French may ove rran to be administered, but by Officers appointe d. b y the KING ? Louis XVIII. has declared that In* stitutions and Authority can only flow from the King! If the KING is never taken, there fore, the war can never be terminated ; • for the French cannot retire from a country which they will have left in the hands of persons decreed to be Traitors and Rebels by their Sovereign There must either, therefore, be a peace with the King's Government, in whicli case the ferp ambitious persons well still subj ect the Ode people to their domination, or the French A r ' occupation of mies must remain in permanent occupoo- 0 the Spanish territory, if they are ever able get it into their possession ! " The DUKE D'ANOOULEME, GENERAL IN CHIE F of the ARMY of the PYRENEES, to the SPANIARDS. " The King of France, in recalling his Ambassador fro' Madrid, had hoped that the Spanish G ov ernment , warned et. its dangers, would have returned to more niotlerate sentiments, and would cease to be deaf to the counsels of benevolence and reason. Two months and a ha lf have elaPsed, and his Ma jesty has waited in vain for the establishments n Spain of e n order of things compatible with the safety States. " The French Government has supported two whole year" Christian Majesty, withunexampled patience, the most unmerited provocations. your The Revolutionary Faction, which has destroyed in country the Royal authority which holds your King captive, which demands his forfeiture ' , which menaces his life and that of his family, has carried beyond your frontiers its guilty eft forts. It has tried every means to corrupt the army of hi e 11°st of th neighbouring' same manner as it had succeeded, by the contagion of its doe. trines and its example, to produce the insurrections of Naples and Piedmont. Deceived in its hopes, it has invited ushers' and to excite troubles in France, in the condemned by our tribunals, to consummate under the pro tian Maj esty , tection of triumphant rebellion the plots formed by them aga inst their country. " It is time to put an end to the anarchy which tears spitn, in her pieces, which deprives her of the power of giving Pe ece , .e Colonies , which separates her from Europe, which has 15 t rrupted all her relations with the august Sovereigns whom the same intentions and the same wishes unite with his Most Chris' the ye car captive King ; to raise again and which com pr omise the repose and rests of France.
