arms against the traitor Silveyra. His regiment, which had
been -made prisoners at the affair near Chaves, was obliged
most unwillingly to follow the rebels. The brigadier Pamplona,
who was also taken prisoner in that action, arrived last night
at eight o'clock at Verin, accompanied by a Major of the 12th
regiment of cavalry, a sergeant, and six soldiers, who were or-
dered to'guard him by Silveyra, but who have all abandoned
the rebel, resolved to support the Constitutional cause. The
remainder of the troops of Silveyra are dispersed, and he him-
self with a small body of men escaped, by taking refuge in
Rirandela, at the same time ordering the evacuation of Chaves,
and the removal of the artillery and ammunition to Braganza ;
he will, however, be speedily pursued, and before long will
doubtless expiate his crime by an ignominious death on the
scaffold.

I have not yet received' any further information respecting
the numerous priests who have dishonoured their sacred office,
and profaned that holy Catholic religion, which is alike pro-
fessed by the Constitutional Portuguese and the Spaniards.
I seize this occasion to announce, that a treaty has been con-
cluded between Spain and Portugal, by which they bind them-
selves reciprocally to expel from their territories the factious
deserters and refugees.

POLITICAL GOVERNMENT OF VALENCIA.
Amidst the shouts of joy which resound from every quarter
of the city, I have the satisfaction to announce to your Excel-
lency, that we may now consider ourselves as entirely freed from
the faction by which we were threatened. The gallant Colonel
D. Antonio Bazan, provisional Commander of
the Proviice of
Castellon, while on his march from that point on. Valencia,
encountered between Murviedro and Almenara the Rebels as-
sembled to the number of 11,000 men, with three pieces of ar-
tillery, and ranged in order of battle, with the avowed intention
of disputing the passage. The Colonel had only 1,000 men
under his command, but all of tried valour. In less
than ten minutes he gained a complete victory,—a victory,
perhaps, unparalleled in the course of the eventful struggle
which Spain is now making for the defence of her liberties.
The result of this memorable day has been 800 of the enemy's
farcef killed and 200 taken prisoners, with 1000 muskets and
ammunition waggons. But perhaps the greatest a&
vantage which we shall derive from this victory is, that the
remnant of the faction are struck with panic, and dispersed in
all directions.
This affair took place at nine in the morning;
and at eight
this evening this victorious
column arrived hsre, and assembled
round the stone of the Constitution, where it raised its songs
of triumph.

lid, under date 25th March, that after having routed the
hand of Infiesto, and returned to this capital, which was
threatened by the bands of Labiana and Lange°, whose rami.. fications extended as far as Mires, he ordered Colonel Don

to march fr long°, at the head of a body of volunteers,

uY Express :

( Prom the Etoile of Thursday E, 'wing.)
" Nara, APRIL 17.7.-It is confidently asserted that the
French Government, setting out from the principle that France
is 11°t at war with Spain, properly speaking, will not issue any
Letters of marque,
and will not 'permit any Privateers to be
armed.to
. It is also asserted, that our Royal Navy has receiyed

SPAnish Merehantships to pass freely. I tis added that the Govern-

gence from Alrascilles, dated the 12th of April :
Government has placed an embartio on all Spanish vessels
in out port, and dispatched the gun-brig la Liamone'in pursuit
of those which sailed this.night ; she has already taken two.'
A Letter from 'lltivre, or the 15th, informs us that the
toginettinie,rtallizurance Company have written to their agent in this
to
carrying
that a Spanish privateer, 'mounting 14 guns
men, has appeared off Bayonne. The same
tification has been made to several houses at Havre byjheir
correspondents at Bordeaux.
Privateers have set sail from several pits of England for

_nR• We remark a great bustle among the Cats-
''''t Vonstitutionalists. Mina frequently visits all the points

on the frontiers where his troops are posted. The forces destined
for the defence of Barcelona are estimated at 900 regulars and
15,000 militia. The ramparts are mounted with cannon, and
the fosses round the town filled with water."

We received also by the same Express private
intelligence from Paris which possesses considerable interest. It
appears still to be the general opinion among the well in.
informed in the French capital, that neither Pampeluna nor
San Sebastian will be besieged, and that the French army will
halt on the Ebro. We may then begin to hear of Generals
DALLAsTEnos and Monitx.o. The views and projects of
niA continue to be the subject of numerous conjectures and
considerable uneasiness ; but this skilful and bold Com-
mander is not likely to remain long inactive, for it ap-
pears that General Count de COETLOSQUET passed
through Pau on the 10th instant, on his way to Perpig-
nan, whether he was proceeding with the utmost dispatch. It
is believed that he is the bearer of orders from the Army
under Marshal MoarcEY to enter Spain immediately ; and
should such prove the case, the Army under MINA will in-
stantly invade the French territory, if this event has not
already taken place, which previous advices render not impro-
bable. The contract with M. OUVRARD for supplying the
French Army with provisions and supplies has, it is under-
stood, been annulled, for two cogent reasons ;-- one,
that the contract had been found very extravagant, and the
other that the supply has been ill provided.
The reported advance of Russian troops gains ground ; and
rumour says, that the Emperor ALEXANDER is going to the
waters of Bud-Ems in Germany.

Her Royal• Highness the Duchess of ANGotr-
LEME evinces more activity at Bordeaux than has
yet been displayed by the martial Prince her bur-
band since he entered Spain. It has been sar-
castically said of the Duchess that she is the only
male of her Family ; and it must be allowed that
she seems determined to establish her pretensions
to the energy and spirit which have hitherto been
thought characteristic of the rougher sex ! She

is acting the part of the SOVEREIGN, while the
Duke, her husband, is,playing that of the Gene-
,ralissimo of her forces ! The journey of the
DUke
,d'ANcour,EmE to join the Army, was
distinguished by nothing like the pomp
and bustle of the following scene, in which
her Royal Highness appears to have in one
morning reviewed the troops at Bordeaux,
and to have received in state all the Civil and
Military Authorities, and all the Public Bodies,
down even to the Schools, including, we should

imagine from the enumeration, nearly one half of
the inhabitants ! There is much, however, of
sound policy in all this. Nothing captivates the
French more than parade ; and nothing impresses
them with greater respect for their Rulers,
dr convinces them more of their capacity for
Government, than the execution even of the most
unimportant movements with rapidity and dis-
patch. The Duchess, no doubt,. has found it

necessary to get up a spectacle, in the preset.
state of the public mind in France.

" BOURDEAUX, APRIL 13.
" BULLETIN OF THE ROYAL FALACE.

---
" Her Royal Highness the Duchess of AN-
GOULEME passed in review this morning the
Guards on duty, and a detachment of 150 men
of the 19th regiment of light infantry, stationed
in the Palace-yard. She expressed her satisfac-
tion at their fine appearance.
" At 11 o'clock, Madame received. the Gene-
ral commanding the divisor, the First President,
the Prefect, and General de la BOURDONNAGE,
commanding the Department; the Mayor, the

Lieutenaut•t.Teneral of Police, and the Officers
composing the Staffs of the Gendarmerie, and
of the 19th regiment of light infantry ; the Ge-
neral Council of the Department, the Mayors
of the Arrondissement of Bordeaux, their assis-
tants, and various deputations from the towns
of Libourne, Reole, and Lesparre; the Com-
missaries of Police, the Director, and several
Officers of the Marine ; the Academy; the
Society of Medicine, the Secondary Royal School,
the Chirurgico-Medidal Society, the Philomathic
and Botanical Societies ; the Royal Brotherhood of
Montuzet, the Rector of St. Andre and his vicars;
the Directors of the Deaf and Dumb Institution,
and a great number of persons belonging to the
Civil, Military, and Judicial Orders."

We have 'this morning received, by the German
Mail, accounts from Odessa to the 24th March.
It was thought that upon the whole Russia would
be satisfied with the answer given by the Porte
to Lord STRANGFORD, and that a Russian
Minister will soon be sent to Constantinople.

We have also received, this morning, Bayonne
Papers of the 10th inst. but as the news from the
French Army, previously received, is to the
15th instant, the intelligence in the Bay-
onne Papers is comparatively unimportant.—
There was considerable dissatisfaction amongst
the troops at Bayonne, in consequence of the

badness of their provisions, and the irregularity
with which their wants are provided for. The
pledge of the Duke d'ANGOULEME to watch over
the wants of the soldiers has not been very faith.
fully fulfilled !

{FROM A CORRESPONDENT.]
STOCK EXCIIANGE, Twelve o'clock.—Consols
opened this morning at 76f, at which price they
remain steady, with little business doing.
FOREIGN MARKET.—Spanish Bonds opened
this morning at 301 if I. Colombian Stock has
experienced a considerable rise within these few
days, owing to the expectation that the Loan
'will be ratified.

Our Readers will see from our Parliamentary
Report that Ministers have engtiged to lay be-
fore both Houses of Parliament, on Monday, some
further diplomatic documents relative to the
subject of the late negociations. I« the
Lords the Earl of LIVERPOOL stated that
His MAJESTY'S Ministers are in possession of in-

formation, which proves that. French gold rens
employed for the purpose of stirring up insur-
rection in Spain; and that the complaints of
the Cabinet of Madrid on this head are of
course well-founded. Every day, therefore, some
fresh circumstance transpires to aggravate the
guilt of France, and to convict her of a degree
of perfidy which we at one time should have
expected least of all from the restored Govern-
ment of the Bounnows! In the House of Com-
mons, Mr. JAMES MACDONALD gave notice of his
intention to bring the subject of the 4te Nego-
ciations before the House, probably in the shape
of a Motion for an Address to the Crown.

Last night, in the, House of Commons, the
Navy and Army Pensions' Bill was read a third
time and passed, as was also the Merchant Ves-
sels' Apprentices Bill, after the theoretical and
ineffectual opposition offered to the measure by
Mr. RICARDO had been withdrawn by that lion.
Member.

We have received inforniation from a quarter
on which we can rely, that from 80 to 100,000
Russians are marching to the aid of the French
Ultras, and that they will arrive by ,way of
Dantzic.—( liforning Chronicle.)
On Thursday evening, Mr. Ews, the King's
Messenger, arrived at the Foreign Office with
dispatches from Vienna.
Yesterday the Duchess of GLOUCESTER spent
the morning with the KING.
Prince LEOPOLD paid his dutiful respects to
his MAJESTY.
Yesterday Count MUNSTER had audience of
his MAJESTY.
'The Duke of GLOUCESTER rode out on Thurs.
day, for the first time since his indisposition.
Sir CHARLES BAMPYLDE was yesterday in the
same state as the day preceding.
On Tuesday, the 15th inst. the mortal remains
of the late EDWARD BERKELEY PORTBIAN, Esq.
during many years M.P. for the county of Dorset,
were conveyed to Bryanston House, attended,
from within the last three miles of that place. by
all the neighbouring resident gentlemen in their
carriages, by a numerous body of his tenantry,
and by a large concourse of persons on horseback
and on foot, all testifying, by
their very marked
respect, the regret universally felt for the loss
of their most upright friend. On Wednesday,
the 16th instant, the body was deposited in thee
family vault at Bryanston, privately, as had ever
been wished, and attended only by a part of his
afflicted family and servants.
NEW ARGYLL Roosts..—The very numerous
audience which attended Mr. HAW ES'S Annual
Concert last night, at this place, is a gratifying
proof of the esteem in which his private and
professional character is deservedly held. The
Great Room was full, and many persons, of
both sexes, were hardly able to procure seats...-.
The Orchestra was most amply supplied with
the best Performers that the Metropolis can
afford. A printed Apology announced the ina-
bility of Miss STEPHENS to attend on ac-
emit of indisposition, but stating that Miss
PATON had kindly consented to sing two Songs in.
stead of those allotted to Miss STEPHENS. It stated
also, that on account of Mr. J. B. SALE'S indisposi-
tion Mr. T. WELcit would assist. The audience
had abundant reason to be satisfied not only with
these substitutions, but with the general merits of
the Concert. The chief singers were Mrs.SALMON,
MISS PATON, MISS GOODALL, MIS* VENES, BEL-
LAMY, SAPIO, DURUSET, If.twts, TEItRAEL, and
the others, were all persons of knqwn talents. We
have not space to select particular excellencies, but
we must not omit to notice that the finale " God
save the King," verse and full chorus, was sung
with loyal fervour, and received by the audience
with correspondent emotion and hearty applause.
We are informed that the Masquerade at the
Argyle Rooms on Wednesday next is likely to
be the most brilliant that has been given for
many years.—CHARLES Wit/ WIT, the Wine-
Merchant, of the Opera Colonade, it appears,
promises his choicest Wines on the occasion.
A reprieve arrived at Horsemonger-lane gaol
on Thursday night, for Charles Bonnick, who
was convicted at the last Kingston Assizes for
highway robbery, and sentenced to be executed.
His associate, Thomas Hooper, who was also
tried and convicted at the same time, and
sentenced to transportation for seven years, was
removed yesterday from Horsemonger.lane, and
lodged in the Maidstone gaol, to await his trial
for similar offences committed in that county. A
warrant for the execution of Edward Hales, aged
18, on Monday next, was also received at Horse-
monger-lane gaol. The wretched convict was
tried and convicted at the last Kingston Assizes
for ravishing Maria Vernon, an infant under 10
years of age.
