BAYONNE NEWS.

Yestenlay we received, the following intelligence from
Madrid, eia Bayonne :
_ pAYONNE, JAN. 29.

The accounts from Madrid are of the 2fith.
On the 21st of this month, at ten o'clock in the evening. a part
of the inhabitants of Villalcaner rose against the armed force sent
by the Intendant of the Province. The Akalde took all the mea-
sures in his power to preserve tranquillity, but his efforts were in
vain, and in the end the whole COITIMUM rose, and put the Com-
mandant and some soldiers in prison; the remainder of the troops
escaped. The Commissioner of Police took energetic measures,
such as ordering the Officers of Justice, with the atd of the peace-
able citizens, to bring the rioters to trial, to publish the laws against
tumultuous proceedings, and in case there should not be a sufficient
force, he would send for the Royal Volunteers front the neighbour-
ing Communes. Meantime, information of this affair has been sent
to the Oovemment.
The question of the l.aw of Amnesty is again agitated, and it is
affirmed that it will shortly be published. Hut little credit is given
to this assertion ; though it must be allowed, that, without the
adoption of some measure of the kind, it will be impossible to or-
ganise the army ; for the Constitutional system was so generally
adopted, that almost everybody is implicated, especially the young
men fit for service. . . . . .

It is also affirmed that ail the capitulations will be punctually
carried into effect. This would be a very happy circumstance; tOr
it may be truly said, that, with the exception of a few fanatics, all
the ,ipaniards of every party desire to see an end to the permed-
tions which afflict their unhappy countrymen, and desolate the
country.
(In the =I a man was hung who had cried, ' Death to the
Leg, and the Constitution for ever !" He remained firm to the
last moment ; he told his judges that they were ignorant, and ere.
cotioners, and that he was happy to die for the Constitution. Not-
withstanding the rigorous laws that have been promulgated. the
robberies continue, because custom is a second nature, and because
the distress daily increases.
The thieves put on embmidered clothes, to prevent suspicion,
when they aim at committing robberies of some importance. The
strews and the houses are the theatre of these depredations, which
have drawn the attention of the King to the best means of putting
an end to these disorders. Ills Majesty has, in ceanseqwence,
creed that those malefactors shall be brought before the Executive
and Permanent Military Commisuion, established br a Royal Or-i
donnance of the WM of this month, and that they shall be subject,
to the lawn, which pronounce the penalty of death on every person,
of whatever class or condition, without any exception, who shall
have committed or attempted to commit a robbery, of whatever
kird and in whatever manner it may be.
It Lents that the house of Al. Rothschild will make here the
payments for the Army of Occupation. The return of all the Spa.
rash prisoners to their own country is generally spoken of. It is
reported that two French divisiots are going to enter Spain.
