BAYONNE INTELLIGENCE.

13AYONNF., APRIL 3.—With the news from
Ili &arid of the 29th we have a letter from Cordova of the 21st,
wisiCh contains the following statement •
" The day before yesterday was a day of horror and desola-
tion. The absolute -Royalists had resolved to assassinate all
the Constitutionalists, and chose for the exectition of their plan
&. Joseph's Day. Fortunately they succeeded but partially ;.
seven victims only perished. More French troops, it was-said,
[night be expected in the city, which would be very desirable,
-to keep the people in awe."

Front Sevilla -they write that much disorder prevails there,
and that the people-commit the most scandalous excesses—that
there is no tranquillity either by day or by night; 17 persons
have just been executed there.

At Valencia the imprisonments continue. Among the per-
sons or distinction who are arrested is the Marquis of Al-
itif-davar. Those two cities urgently solicit French troops.
It is 'said, in a village of Castilie, the people having risen,
forced the doom of the prison, where there were twenty of
the rational militia, who were replaced by seven Royal volun-tears., 'lt is certain that numerous executions are on the
point of taking place. Ileavy contributions ars to be laid
on Madrid., The moment is not favourable. The money
raised by the Corfes de £'urete will be soon exhausted ; it will
• hardly cover the- first expences of the , journey of the Court to
Aranjoes, for which place it set out on the 27th. The same
,may thcrfuneral obsequies of the celebrated Vicuessa, whose re-_

mains were removed to the Jesuits' College of St. Indore, were
celebrated with great pomp. A funeral oration was pronounced
on the deceased, who is considered as a martyr. The common
people say, that his body has remained in a perfect state for
these three years, which they ascribe to a miracle, and consider
him as a Saint. General Bourmont accompanied his Majesty,
and all the French troops-are to evacuate-Madrid by the 30th.
It is said, that it is intended to make a trial of the spirit of the
capital when it is left to itself.
General Quesada, who remains at Madrid with his troops, is
said to have made 'himself answerable for the, preservation of
tranquillity. All persons even suspected of liberal sentiments
have been ordered to remove to the distance of fifteen leagues
from Aranjuez. This measure appeared.so severe,. evemuncler
present circumstances, that some remonstrances were ven-
tured on ; but instead of their being listened to, it is appre-
hended that those who ventured to make them will suffer
for their rashness. No stranger will be allowed to stop at
Aranjuez more than twenty-four hours, without an express
permission of the Government. The late execution of some
robbers have not deterred those who fiillow the same profession.
The only three diligences.in Spain were robbed on their last
journey. Considerable quantities of wool, lately sent from
Segovia to Catalonia, were pillaged on the road. Many per-
sons at Madrid were greatly averse to the King's departure.
His Majesty's absence, they said, has too often been the signal
for great•misfortunes. It is said that the King will be absent at
least 6 months. Some troops were sent before toguard theroad by
which the royal family was to travel. Fears are entertain-
ed that when the French troops have left the capital disorders
will ensue. There has been a report of an intention to banish
7,000 or 11,000 persons 'from Madrid; but that Argona, the
superintendant of police,. opposed • this rigorous measure, and
represented to his Majesty the danger of such a proscription.—
However, several persons have been exiled, especially chiefs
of the militia; members of the municipality,-&e•
All the French, except the. Ambassadors, leave Madrid the
Ist of April, to go into cantonments at some leagues from the
capital. The gardes du corps
:are going to occupy CordoVa ;
no more will remain at Aranjuez than are absolutely necessary
to do the duty. The troops are dissatisfied with this removal,
and the officers say, it is enough to be in Spain, without being
banished into the villages. The executions have begun ; two
persons were hanged on the 29th. On the same day numerous
processions paraded all the streets of the capital. The soldiers
of the Faith, who are recognized by the diversity of their uni-
forms, have taken possession of the city.
Quesada has received, as a reward for his services, the grand
cross of St. Ferdinand.
It is reported that. 6,000 additional French troops are to enter
Spain. -
