Bill ON N E PA PE DS.

RAYONNI, JAN. 18.—Though the Arrival of the
Russian Minister from Madrid vesterdity, and the
r,-Port that those of Austria and -Prussia were about
to quit that capital, have renewed here the rumours
of war, nothing appears vet to announce this crisis ;
for though there it collected bore tin immense ma-
teriel, oral large quantities of grain and forage, it
is impossible to undertake any thing with the troops
at presort assembled on this frontier, their number
having been diminished by the discharges which
have been granted, and which have reduced the
division of Count d'Autichanip to seven ur 8,000
meti.

The Spanish emigrants of the Faith spread various
reports on the arrival of new reinforcements, and
the approaching enterprise which twill t;',011 be on-
dertakea in Spain ; they boast of the aid of every
kind afforded by M. Ouvrard to the army of the
Faith, but we repeat it, nothing seems to iinlicate
an approaching invasion. A hostile plan is spoken
of, tending to take possession of Pampeluna, St.
Sebastian, and Santora, where considerable macpt-
rines would be established ; but it might nut be
very easy to seize en these three places. In short,
the (pillion of a war with Sean' it; become nearly

Mr. Jackson, attached to the English emletutsv at
Madrid, arrived the day halite yesterday at
Lay-

inission. lie left Madrid on the 14th, where all
WaS perfectly tranquil. Sir %V A'Court continued
to enjoy the highest eonsidenition at Madrid. and
had Mien very brilliant assemblies, at which the
most tiistiagnished Spanish nubility and diplomatic
characters were observed,

Mr. Jackson met on the WA in the morning, at
Vittoria, Lord F. Somerset, loudening likewise with
an important mission from his Government to that
Spunt.
The news front the Three Provinces state, that
the bands of Juunito and Santos Ladron, and other
partizans in Navarre, after the affair of the lSth,
have thrown themselves into that province, in dif-
ferent directions.
It is observed, that since O'Donrcl quitted the
command, Juanito and Santos Ladron have assum-
ed a more finmidable and warlike attitude, and,
without reinforcements, the Constitutional troops
in that country will not be able to wake Lead
against him.
The letters from Saragossa of the ilth, say that
t ranquilllty is perfectly restored there, and that the
fictions, who appeared betine it on the sth, had
gone to Buda and Tarragona, which they bad taken
paxsemion of, doubtless with the intention of pass-
the Ebro at 'Yodels, to enter Navarre Gen.
Velaseo, with part of the troops besieging Mequi-
nenza, set out front Frays on the 10th for Sara-
gossa, doubtless with the intention of passing the
troops of Bessieres, Ulman, Ate. It is stated also,
tint on the 14th the entire regiment of Almanza
was expected in Catalonia.

LONDON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY'S

The die is cast—Louis XVII I. becomes the active
agent of Legitimacy and the opponent of Liberty !
—may he be overwhelmed in the desolation he
seeks to create—we rejoice in the determination, for
we cannot fear the result, relying, as we do, on the
heroism, the enthusiasm, and the patriotism of the
Spanish nation, and therefilrc we rejoice in uny act
of enormity which may probably rid the throne of
France, fur ever, of a dyin.sty which has disgrae,ml
it fir ages (excepting only the interregnum of glory
under Napoleon) and which really ought to be
swept timn the ligce of the civilized world.—ln the
sketches or manifestoes which hay.; preceded former
dt.claratiuns of War, rta.lons have been assignoi


-

which have hod the semblance of a good cause,
though in very few instances could they stand the
trial. by any test of cool and impartial justice; but
in the present instance even this }Linsey appearance is
disregarded, and we arc plainly told that War is to
be made against Spain only becat;se she has obtained
a CONSTITUTIONAL Government—without which
no Government whatever ought to be tolerated.
Tae part which Spain has now to act is two-fold
.....staz most find graves for her invaders in her own
plains, while her heroes in their turn become the
invaders of France, and under the banners of Na-
poleon the Second hurl from the throne the imbecile
Monarch, who, to a weak head, adds a bad heart—
who is too great a fool to be rendered wise even by
experience—and they will, we hope, add another
proud day to the calendar of the world, which boasts
already, the twenty-first and thirtieth days of January
as devoted to the lay 'Able sacrifices of bad Kings—
such examples do incalc,dable gotxl tcl society at
large.—There can be no doubt of the defection of
the French Army, when the enlivening name of
NAPOLEON, so pregnant with glorious remembrances
to France, shall sound in the ear of those who fought
and conquered under the greatest Hero the world
ever saw—the Standard will soon he torn from the
hands of the noble Spaniards, by Frenchmen emu-
lous of the honour of distinguishing themselves in
emancipating their country from her present
debasement.
We have exercised our memory, but have not
called to our recollection any one instance of aggres-
sive War so devoid of excuse, so replete with infamy
—may its originators meet punishment exemplary
as their guilt is pre-eminent !

The Paris Papers of Wednesday Inure arrived, but
their contents, considering the critical state in which
France is placed by tke infuriated Ultras and the
Bourbon politics, are comparatively unimportant.—
They mention the movements of troops towards the
Southern frontier, and preparations making to or-
ganise an armed force, as communicated in the ever
memorable speech of the King. The French Am-
bassador: to the Court of Spain was hourly expected
in l'uris from Madrid. It is said that none of the
Marshals of France arc to be employed in the army
of which the Duke of Angouleme is appointed Ge-
neralissimo. Probably, like other great Generals, he
is determined. to plan the campaign, and take the
whole responsibility on himself; supported by the
prayers of Priests and the intuitive wisdom of the
all-powerful Bourbons. If the French Government
have really the madness to undertake a war against
liberal and constitutional principles, the King will,
no doubt, review the French troops before they
cross the Pyrenees, to inspire them with confidence
and devotion to the cause of the Bourbon Primes.—
General Lauriston is appointed Major-General of
the army. The Chiefs of Stuff of the two principal
corps are Count de Bruges and General Guillemont.
General Bordesoult commands the Royal Guard,
who has under his orders General Patmnneux. It
would be curious to know the opinion of the Mar-
shals now in France, who served under Buonaparte,
with re►pect to these arrangements. The Gazette de
France mentions, that on the 23d alt. all the Ambas-
sadors of the Northern Powers were in Bayonne,
were several times insulted on their journey.—
There is nothing further in thes;! Papers concerning
the King's Speech or the Chambers. As the Ultras
have a majority in the latter, their answers to hit
Majesty's Special' will, of course, he the echo of hi►
sentiments. The French Fowls have unexpectedly
risen one per cent.—they were 78f. 6.5 c. fur the Ac-
count. Probably it is imagined that the Govern-
ment cannot be so frantic as to commence a war of
nggeession against Spain, that might produce another
Revolution in France, and finally the expulsion of
the Ultras from the kingdom.

A New York paper of the 20th December has
been received, which contains same important intcl.
ligence from l'eru. It is there stated, that according
to advices received at Guayaquil en the 20th of Sep.
