BAYONNE INTELLIGENCE.

BAYONNE, MAY 11.—The political news from
Madrid, which comes down to the 7th, is of little importance.
The French troops were kept in their barracks On the celebra-
tion of the anniversary of the 2d of May. This measure was
dictated by prudence, and probably prevented bloodshed, The
Theatres were shut, and it is said to be in contemplation to
shut them in future on Sundays and holidays. The King will
be at Madrid again on the 15th, but will remain only a few days
there The purifications continue ; even the physicians are not
exempt, being considered as civil officers. They are obliged
to give an account of their conduct during the Constitutional
_system. A report that has been several times spread is again
repeated, that the French Ambassador had signified. to the
King that he had ordCrs to retire, unless a Decree of Amnesty
was published, but it is to be fnred that even the Decree of
Amnesty will not stop the sanguinary consequences of the re-
action that • takes place.

Incredible exertions arc making to organize the Royal
Guard ; all payments arc impeded in order to apply the money
to this purpose. The colours of the regiment, called that of
Loyalty, have been consecrated at Seville. The King has no-
minated to four Bishoprics.
The French Commander-in-Chief orders the troops to aid
the local Authorities in repressing- contraband trade. The
General says, that he hopes all the military of the garrison
will be pleased with the mea•ura taken to prevent frauds,
which might affect the honour of the French name.
The Military Commission continues its labours: it ahisost
always condemns. .

The 12th Regiment left us, and the 29th arrived yesterday;
this is the last of the four that were announced ; they all chew
the same repugnance to leaving France.
