BAYONNE I YTELLIGENCE.

BAToNNE,MARcH.2S —Whiteout. warriors hoped,
and even proclaimed befinehmal, drat the army of
the Faith had extended the sphere of its exploits
beyond the Ebro, we see, on the contrary, that the
theatre of war comes nearer to our frontiers. We
were looking for the aceotnplLshment of the pro-
mises of Quesada, O'Donnell, &c. who (littered
themselves in assembling, in Na% are, and three
provinces, an army of 25,000 men, in three weeks ;
it cannot be said, however, that they were in want
of the resources necessary for the execution of their
ill-judged enterprises; fur money, arms, ammuni-
tion, uniforms, and every 'thing,. had been given
them, in abundance, since the return of Queseda
from Paris. All the troops that arrive successively
at Bayonne, express their eager desire to see the
&mons Army of the Faith, of which t:t: Ultra
Journals have spoken so highly, but how great have
been their surprise when they have learnt the truth,
and have been with their own eyes, either at Bay-
onne, at St. Jean de Luz, on the banks of the Ili.
dassoa, at St. Jean Pied de Port, and the environs,
these hordes of wretches, most of them naked -and
barefooted, without military spirit or appearance,
.and with countenances, on which pillage and rapine
are alone expressed ; bands of colonels, and. whis-
kered officers, as they called themselves, but little
better than naked, and llocks of priests, and monks,
who haunt our frontier towns. and the country, like
ravens eager for their prey. A strange embarrass-
ment for the k rench Generals, and still more fur the
soldiers, who openly curse these unhappy tools of
despotism, who have torn them from elicit, country,
to go and. find death on the mountains and plains of
the Peninsula.
General Quesada, whose head-quarters are still at
St. Jean de Luz, had given orders to the band of
Gorostidi, to approach the banks of the Bidassoa,
and even to attack /run, to facilitate the communi-
cations in case of success. In fact, the day before
yesterday (23d) that partisan, with 800 men, ap-
peared before that town, and at first got possession
of the approaches to it ; but Col. O'Donnell, at the
head of 209 men,. promptly attacked him, and dis-
lodged him even Irma the heights of St. Martial,
where the Royalists had posted themselves. The
courage and resolution of the handful of Constitu-
tionalists, caused the complete disyreion of this
band, which had 20 killed in the engagement, of
whom 15 were drowned in the Bidassoa ; to say
nothing of the arms and equipages whielethey aban-
doned. Yesterday, a part of the column of the
Pastor, and a French battalion, consisting of 300
refugees, carrying the Spanish and the tri•eolourett
Map, arrived at Yray, and immediately made a mi.
buoy promenade amidst repeated cries of " Vivo
la Constitution! Vive la Liberec!" It is even
affirmed that more troops, are expected on this point
to observe what passes on the Bidtessoa, and to cover
St. Sebastian.
Whilst Colonel O'Donnell was giving this lesson
to Gorostidi, 5(1 Constitutionalists arrived at Yrun,
with the Cure Michelens, and :even or eight men,
wlto had suffered themselves to be surprised on the
evening o f the 22tlat Vera. This agent of the Faith
was carrying to Gen. Quesuda 200,000 reals in
gold, arising limn the voluntary donations made by
the Islavamse for the assistance of the Army of the
Faith. Ties sam was delivered entire by the Con-
stitut'onalists to Col. O'Donnell, Who gave up the
half ut nt for the benefit of the soldiers who made
this e;ixst
