FRENCII PAPERS.
PAM., JAN. I 4.—The fanatical journals continue
to make it great noise about a pretended violation of
the French territory by the Spanish troops. Now
let us sea what this offence, which has culled forth
such violent complaints, amounts to, accordiag to the.
statements of all private letters, and the journals
published in the provinces adjoining• to that in which
it is pretended the vhdation took place. It appears,
-then, that on the 251 th of last mouth, shit an

with a lively anxiety. The public mind was agi-
tated, but no symptom of trouble -was manifested.
Hostile intentions towards us, rather than actual
hostilities, were expected from the Powers ; and,
should war even take place, the confidence of the
' Spanish people in the means the country possesses
of rendering all the attacks of Europe abortive, con-
tributed much to the calm and tranquillity which
continued to reign in the midst of the sort of crisis
In which we are platee4e On the 6th; the French.

• The notes of the Russian, Pruedim, and Alsatian'
Ministers were delivered on the 64,- A Upon was
at *nit spread that the Russian note was less mode-
rate than those of the other Powers; but it was
seen learned that the notes were common to the
three Cabinets.
The Spanish Ministers have referred the notes of
France and the three Powers to the Council of State,
in order to liayc the upiuieu of that body on the an-
swers toelsegiven to these noter-aanswers which
will be well, consillered, and will giVe a fresh pruof
of the excelleikapirit which animates the men now
ut the heaul qriffaies in Spain. It appears that the
Council grifftitte is to pin to itself a certain number
of the Deputies of the Corte ....ken from the parties
who exhibit the different shades of opiisiOn remarked
in that assembly. The at finale of the'Ministry and
of the Cortes create in the people of Spain a feeling
of confidence and security, which does equal honour
to the Ministers and to the Congress as to the us-
tional character. Every one is perfecly satisfied that
that the replies of the Cabinet of Madrid will be so
, framed as to preserve uninfriuged the dir,onity of
Spain. at the tame time that they will, by their mg)•
aeration, remove all pretext for hostilities, which
Spaniards will always be rattly to repel, but which
they are • r from meaning to provoke.

&ciliation respecting t authors of the conspiracy of
the 7th of July, and their accomplices. In this
vet iti:tg the municipality recites the measures which
it has tnitea to finavnel the course of justice against
these individuals; and it also reminds his Majesty,
that it was only upon receiving formal promise
that the traitors should be punished, that the militia
consented to separate and retire to their homes on
the 12th of July. The address concludes with a
prayer that the King will command the proceedings
which have liven commuted against the amid:atom
of the month of July to be conducted with activity.
A repres.aitation of a similar purpose was made by
the latieluburian society on the sth, upon the motion
of General Itiego, who said the rigour of justice
ought not only to visit those individuals who have
been placed under arrest, but also those who have
' hitherto escaped all molestation.
' The regiment of the cavalry of Almansa, which
cotylutcal itself lei gloriously on the 7th of July,
has departed train Madrid. On the day previous
to its departure, in the square of liceollets. Attar
the review, the soldiers demanded with loud cries
to be led to the square of the Constitution. Having
arrived there, they surrounded the stone of the
Constitution, mid renewed their oaths to (lie ill de-
fence at their country, and the laws which they
enjoy under the Constitution. The air resounde.i
with cries of " The Nation ! the Constitution r the
National Coligress, and the heroic people of
Nladrid! the Constitution or death !"
Our journals continue to he filled with relations
of the operations of the constitutional forces des-
patched in pursuit of the factions. The troops of
General Torrijos and Mina have been particularly
mentioned as having mule the enemies of the coa-
stitutiou suffer considerable lsses. The latter are
pursued in all directions, and are not permitted to
have a moment of repose in any place. A curate
and two other leaders of rebellious bands have been
arrested in Biscay. The constitutional troops exhibit
the game activity in Arregon. Toe furtress of
Mequiliensa is closely blockaded.
'lite measures fiir entiireing the levy which has
been decreed by the Cortes are conducted every-
where with regularity, and, in many of the pro-
vinces, with enthusiasm. Eight hundred recruits
have set uut from Madrid to join the army. Similar
detachments are on their march in all the provinces
for the same destination. They sing patriotic surto,
in passing through towns.

ed, m usual, and tied, part lain France, anti part to.
Valcarins, Astpusa, at the head of 200 ten, presented
themselves at a village common to both countries,
and demanded guides form the French to point out
their road. There is nothing hostile in this proceed-
ing; indeed, it seems to indicate a desire to reapedt
the French roil. It was for the local authority tai•
grant or refuse the guides; awl in the latter case. if
their refusal were disregarded, to protest against
such conduct; but it appears that in the absence of
the Mayor, his Deputy made no scruple to furnitat
the guidai who were demanded. Whether this
fistictiona luta dime right or wrung, it is not con-
venient,to discuss here ; besides, the Prefect has
already decided that point, by suspending him; all
that we wished to d I was to show that Cel. Assurs•
had not engtmitted the ofFeuce ler which he is re-
proached the Quogidienne, the Eteile, and the
-Dropeau isc, with n violence and coarseness, of
which, tOrturettely, thopFreneh journals afford few
examples.
Well, the Spanish troops having performed their
march, arrived at Valearlos, where they completed
the defeat of those enemies whom they had previously
routed.. It is certain that Captain Anningel, the
Msswssin of Col. Crtichaga, was killed in the action.
As many as could escape in the confusion tied into
France, whither no at tempt was made to purses them
—a new moof that the Spanish troops never enter-
tained the design of violarieg the French territory.
A letter from Bayonne, Jute,' the 7th, gives the
following detude un the result of Gen. O'OonnePs
expedition a—
" The attempt of Gen. O'Donnel in Navarre has
bad the consequences which we expected. On the
30th of last month that General was violently in-
sulted at Estella by his own soldiers, who were worn
out by the marches and countermarches he made
them perfia.m. The commandant Insulin had an
interview with him, and represented to him the dis-
content of the men, and their wire, to risk a battle
with the Constitutionalists. 0 Donne' showed his
instructions, by which he was dimmed to confine
insulted t to harassing and fatiguing the enemy. When
Jaunito repeated this answer to the soldiers, they
loudly testified their disapprobation; and O'Deuriel,
whose health was considerably injured, apprehending
that the minds of his withers would become still
further exaspersted, resolved to give up the com-
mand, and to return to France, by the way of St.
Jean-Pied de-Port, clung with some of his officers.
IL is said that he arrived at Bayonne yesterday, but
this we cannot confirm ; we only know that there
have arrived at the St. Esprit, 24 cavaliers of the
Faith, who, it issued, served him ter his escort. Wu
know nut who will be his successor, nor whether he
will have one.
" The accorints front Navarre announce, that the
position of the armies is such, that we every moment
expect to hear of the complete detection of the troop,.
of the Faith, concentrated us they are in the mono-
tains, and completclar surrounded by the Constitu-
tionalists. 0.1 the 2d, 120 of Jatinito'a soldiers
presented themselves to the Alcade of Megrim to
claim the armistice width was granted to them.
" A commercial house of this town has been com-
missioned by another of Vittoria, to negotilte with
the agents of the Frail, fur the ransom of six inch-
Vidaats, who were taken as hostages and carried into
the mountains. The demand made is 12,000 plus-
tres, and the half of that sum has been oltCred. In
consequence of the %smut of money, there is little
hope of these unlertunate captives recovering their
liberty. 1 hey belong to the commune of Ciego, in
Rioja. This is nut use first time that our town has
bes:a made the theatre of such a shameful traffic."
MADuID, JAN. S.—The communications to be
made to our Government in the name of France anti
the Congress of Veroua have been expected here
