FOREIGN IV7TELIGENCE.

FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.

emus, otc. e.
The following are extracti of venues letters from
Bayonne, dated the 4th of Hecember:—
•'
The head-quarters of His Majesty the Empe-
ror and King were established at liiiitriago, on the
Ist inst. a town imitated at a short distance from
Madrid. The defiles of Somo Sierra, through
which the road to that capital lies, were carried,
after a very brilliant affair, in which the Po:ish
covered themselves with glory. The ,enemy
lost a great number of prisoners, uud a consider-
able quantity of artillery. It appears certain that
Ills Majesty was to enter Madrid on the ,2.1 instant,
being the anniversary of his coronation. The
greatest confusiwu prevailed in that city. Cuestu,
Palafox, and Pena, were each denounced in their
turn. All the defeated Generals were there de-
nounced as traitors t. their country; WA, in short,
that capital presented only the picture of terror
and despair.
"The Members of the Insurgent Junta availed
themselves of the, oppottuoty of night to tra!se
their elopement, and abandoned to their melan-
choly fate the unhappy people whom they had
duped.
•• The weather has hitherto been very fine in Span.
They have had some days as serene and agi eeable as
in the middle of summer.

.! We have bad further arrivals of Spanish 1)6..
rollers. They march fur the interior in divisions of
from 1200 to 1500 men, that the depots way not
be encumbered with than at the same time."
The letters referred to state that the continual
passing of troops has put a great deal of money in-
to circulation at Bayoune, which pretty well in-
deinnifies it for the suspension of its commerce
with Spain. The demands of the army equal. or
perhaps surpass, what the country can sisvply.—
Another cause ids, contributes to the prosperity of
Bayonne. The privateers of Saint Jean-de-Luz
perform wonders. They have within a very short
period Liken seven prizes, richly laden, and on the
3d, it was stated on the Exchange, that another
English vessel, captured by one of those priva-
teers, had safely entered Gilboa. She had on
hoard a large quantity of colonial produce. Thv
difficulty of procuring conveyance not admitting of
this mud other cargoes being scut to a distance,
Bayonne and the armies, will principally benefit by
them.

The privateer, the San Joseph, of St. Maio, ar-
rived in ivlorloix roads on the 2.5 th, bringing in with
her an English three-masted vessel. carr)ing to
guns. She sailed from Liverpool, and was bound
with a cargo of dry goods and four chests of dollars,
for the Cape de Verde Islands. The privateer has
also on board a ransom of 30,000 franks for 1111 Eng-
lish transport, which she stopped on her passage
from -Comma to Eugland, and which had on
board f.irty-two women and childreu. The Sate
Javeph being joined by those of her crew who were
in charge of her prizes, is preparing to proceed
again to see. DEC. s.
On the 15th ult. His Majesty assigned various
honours and rewards to those officers and privates
of the corps of the Dukes of Dantrie and Conie-
gleam', who chiefly distinguished themselves its the
recent affairs in Spain.
The establishment of the Prussian army will in
future consist of 6000 guards, 8000 cavalry, 8900
artillery, and 21,000 iulantry, forming a total of
43,000 men.
Letters frr•n Stralsund of the 29th ult. mention
that there were then 6000 peasants employed is
demolishing the works of that place.
The Minister of the Interior has given notice to
the public, that 200,000 kilogrammes of Spanish
wool will he set up to auction at Bayonne, on the
2d of January. DSC. 13.
Her Majesty the Empress returned yesterday to
the Thuilleries, and will reside at that palace du-
ring the whote of the winter. Dec. 14
The Commissioners of the Imperial Customs
have given public notice, that the prohibition of
colonial commodities and merchandise coming
from Holland, ordered by the decree of the Will
September, which had been suspended, is again io
full force. By colonial commodities is understood
all the productions and commodities of the East
and West Indies. Cotton is excepted from the
prohibition.

A letter from Nancy, of the 11th instant. states,
that within the preceding week 55 large waggons
had passed through that place for the interior,
loaded with cotton and other articles of colonial
produce. le.
