BAYONNE NEWS.

li:stet-any we received the following accounts from Ma-
drid, via Bayonne:—
BAYONNE, MACH 23.

The accounts from Madrid of the 18th bring the particulars of
the King's Ordonnance for the establishment in the capital cities of
the provinces 07 a great military college, to be divided into sections,
tint the instruction of those who arc intended for the cavalry, the
infantry, the engineers, the artillery, respectively. For some time
past private conimunications have become ran, and the Gazette, in
fact, says nothing about the provinces or the capital. Everybody,
however, expect. something extraordinary to take place. The re-
ports that have been in circulation for some days respecting the
meeting of the Ambassadors, were not without toundation. It
scan certain that there was a discussion on the establishment of a
Governments which is not to the taste of the absolute party of the
Monks. It DI reported that Count liourniont was asked whether he
was able to support the plans proposed % and that the General an.
see ered, that considering the spirit that predominated in the pro-
vinces, the forces under his command were insufficient; but that if
he had Mt or 88,000 men more, he would engage to maintain order
and tranquillity : to which it is added, the reply was made, that
whatever folic he desired should be granted him. This, doubt-
less, is the origin of the report that has been in circulation, that the
Count Bountiont had asked for an augmentation of his forces, and!
that 80,000 men were going to enter Spain. If these ciministant
arc true, the discussions in the meeting of the Ambassadors
have not been kept quite secret. The Apostolic Junta was
not the last to he informed of what was going on, but the'
manna which it has taken to counteract its adversaries have
been too precipitate, and hareproduced no effect. It is acrused of
having distributed money among the lower classes, to induce them to
rise and express their opposition to the establishment of Chambers,
and all the new Institutions which it was intended to introduce into
Spain. It is said that one of the agents employed fur this purpose
has been arrested, and, on a promise of pardon being given him
confessed who his employers were ; and several persons have been
thrown into trison in consequence of his declaration.
There are reports of much dissatisfaction in several provinces
which is chiefly ascribed to the violent conduct of the royal volun-
teers ; the Government seems to be aware of the evil that may be
caused by the exorbitant zeal of this corps, and has had regulations
drawn up, which, if they are strictly enfinced, will prove a great
restraint upon them, and perhaps make them weary of a service in
which they will be obliged to observe strict discipline. It is certain,
th it the procetslings of the Government shew a tendency to a sys-
tem of moderation and justice hitherto unknown : the Ordonnances
of the King, and the circular letters of the .Ministers, no longer
speak of the partisans of the Constitution with that bitterness
which saved to cherish animosities, and seemed to authorise per-
secution ; but begins to designate them as men who have been mis-
led, and whom the paternal goodness of the King will bring back
to their duty.
The royal volunteers are much dissatisfied with the new regula-
tions, and there was on the 18th a little disturbance on that ac-
count. as, in order to be received into the corps, it is necessary to
prove that the individual applying has sonic means of supporting
himself ; and as the anus are to be placed in a depot when their
service is concluded, the complain that after having served the
royal cause they are to be dismissed.
