The Journal der deer* states, that on the 9tb
provisional Government for Spain was established,
and that General Eguia was placed at its hand.

We have also received a teltgraphic despatch,
which did not reach Paris till after Monday's papers
were published. It is as follows :

The persuasion being then general that hostilities
between. France and Spin. had actually coma. ce',.
the movements of the French twat force in the '
West Indies were anxiously watched. It was ao '
firmly believed in the islands that. England was to
side with Spain, that it was given out at Porto Rico
that the English flag was to•be hoisted in conjunc-
tion with that of Spain as soon as the declaration of
war was received, and the report obtained credit the
more readily, from the circumstance of there being
at that time three or four English ships of war in
the harbour of St. John's. Several French. mer-
chantmen. had iaken the alarm, and fled from Porto
Rico to take shelter in the netural ports of St. Tbo-
mas's. It was also stated that a rich Spanish ship
' from Havannah had been taken by a French man of
war. No letters have been received by this packet
either,frum Trinidad or Tobago, and it is feared,
therefore, that the mail-boat which should bring
them to St. Thomas's has been lost.
