'from PamPeluna, on the 16th April, the Comniandant of that
place declared to the officer sent to summon him to surrender,

by tiring artillery from the ramparts, particularly at the troops
otthe Faith, who were investing the town on the Spanish side.
The siege was to commence without delay.
AIT anima APRIL 21.—The Court of Vienna has received
the disagreeable news that serious differences have broken out
between the Government of Greece and the Commandants of
the Imperial marine in the Archipelago, the latter not having
wished to recognize the blockade of the Turkish ports in Morca
and in Epirus. It is affirmed that several Austrian vessels,
wishing to enter these ports, have already been captured by
Greek vessels of war ; and that Austria, in consequence
of the weakness of her marine, will be obliged to conform
to the Decree of the Greek Senate, which declares the Otto-
Irian ports in a state of blockade—a Decree which has al-
ready obtained more force since the approximation of the Eng-
lish to the llellenians.
Al AD urn, APRIL 9.—Colonel 13azan caused the person who
-broke the Constitutional stone with a hammer, at Castellon, to

be shot at its foot.

:PARIS., Amt. 25.—Extract of a letter from headequarters,
at Vittoria, 21st April :
" The conduct of our armria admirable. You
,know I served in all the late wars in Spain. You may judge
if I am not in a continual ecstacy when I see the cows and sheep
feeding peaceably by the side of our columns, and the fowls
running between the legs of our soldiers. The gardens re.
main untouched ; not a cabbage has been carried off; our
bivouacs have respected the dry wooden inclosures, and even
the bushes.
" The Spaniards are such as we saw them in the last war :
• for them tune is stationary, nothing is changed, not even the for-
tifications erected in divers stations ottahe road from Bayonne to
Vittoria, and which served to shelter our parties front the at-
etacks oeGuerillae. They are no longer, it is true, ours; but
they have been faithfully copied by ( (institutionalists, and this
fact is not one of the least singular at the present period."

gos, amidst the acclamations of all the inhabitants.
I informed vau that liallasteros had renounced defending the
defiles of Salinas, and retired on Tudela. Letters of recent

Corps d'ArmFe, has forced Ballasteros tit evacuate Tudela also.
Thus brilliant successes every where accompany our arms. I

greater interest than has appeared in any journal.
,REPORT AS TO THE TAKINO or LOGRONO nv. TUE AD-
VANCED GUARD or TUE 4TII DIVISION or TUE FIRST
CORPS.
‘• Monseigneur,
" Marching front Vittoria on Logrono, the 17th, the first bra.
gads of the advanced guard slept at Guadiera, and the second at
Penocerda, and neighbouring villages; the 111th, early in the
morning, reconnoissances were pushed to Logrono, which was
supposed to be occupied by the enemy. Their return gave the
certainty of it.
"The advanced guard, commanded by Marechal-de-Camp
Count de Vittre, put mtelf instantly in motion, and the second
brigade followed it as closely as possible.
" Arrived in front of Logrono, a flag of truce, M. Imbert,
Captain of the Ordnance of M. de Vittre, was sent and re-
ceived with musketry ; the movement of attack was almost in-
stettly ordered, and executed by the head of the column formed
by the first corps of Voltigeurs of the 20th of the line, and the
first squadron of the Chasseurs of Derdogne, commanded by
M. Dime de Chabannes, and supported by the rest of the
brigade.
The town of Logrono was occupied by nearly from oto
700 infantry and 250 cavalry. The enemy had barricaded the
double gates of the bridge of the Ebro, and seemed to wish to
defend it. Not being able to pass the river by fording, it was
necessary to cary this post by force. As there was no time to
lose, the assault wits given at a running pace by the first corn-
pany of Voltizeurs of the 29th, supported by the remainder
of the battalion; they drove in the first gate, took posses.
stun of the bridge, and took also the second with the greatest
bravery.
The drummer, Matran, having passed over the wall, opened
this last, continuing all the time to beat the charge. The bridge
being forced, General Vitre ordered the Oaf d'eseadron of
Masseurs to pass in the intervals of infantry, and to pursue
vigorously the enemy with his squadron, causing himself to
be supported by two squadrons of Husata of the Lower Rhine,
commanded by Col. de Muller.
• " The enemy made in the Own, and during a !ewe, a beau-
tiful retreat, defending all the positions. The enemy took the
direction of Villa Medecina, where were two detachments of
nearly 150 to 200 men of Bourbon and :he Queen. At length,
after having passed the bridge of Mandrez on the Fugue, and
having reached the Villa Medicina by very rocky roads, a
charge a fond was ordered and executed with the greatest suc-
cess. The enemy stood a moment; but by the bravery of
colonel tie Mullet, who precipitated himself, with cries of
Viva!:' Roi ! into the ranks, at the bead of his Hussars; of M
do Chabannes' with the Clitisseurs and Lancers on the right ;
of Captain de ?Alerville, of the Chasseurs; of Captain Jouffroy,
of the linssars, whose squadron first began the charge, the
enemy was overthrown, routed every where, and pursued to
the village of Milla Fuchs, two leagues from Logrono, at the
foot of the mountains.
" The results of this brilliant affair for my advanced guard,
which was not even entirety engaged, are the taking of General
Don Julian Sanchez, 6 officers, 158 sub-officers and soldiers, a
caseoon of artillery, front 200 to 300 fusils, some thirty men
killed, left on the field of battle, among whom were several of-
-beers, two of them Lieutenant-Colonels. The remainder owed

their -Safety flight and the mountains. It appears that the
capture of the famous General Julian Sanchez greatly afflicts the
Constituttonalista ; he came to Logrono only the evening be-
fore, sent thither, as was said, by Gen. liallasteros.
" It is impossible to praise too much the bravery of -the
troops engaged, and to appreciate too highly the impatience of
those who were not called to combat.
" The Report; after recommending a number of officers,
goes on to state, I Nave not to report a single man killed, but
a superior officer, two other officers a Hussar and a Chasseur
I
were wounded. " am, &c.

PARIS, A i'ni ;25.--Ballasteross far from being,
at the head of 15,000 men as was believed, is hardly followed
by 3,000, the half of which are Militia.
The corps of the Royalist Generals Bessierea, Merino,
Cursta, and Isidoro, have effected their junction. They oc.
copy with their united forces the roads to Madrid by Segovia
and Samosterio.
1 From the Courier Francais.)
The ltioniteur has: announced the capture of the Spanish
vessel by the Jean Bart, as follows i—
" A letter from Havre, of the 22d April, announces - the ar-
rival in that port' of 'news from Martinique, stating that on the
12th March, the vessel Jean Bart entered Fort Royal with a
gallon (letter of marque) which in the night had taken it for a
merchant ship, hatisannonaded it, and when day came, find-
ing itself too near was constrained to bring to, after having too
late discovered its error."
By means of this version, every thing has changed faces. We
are no longer the aggressora ; we on the contrary have a legitimate
defence ; . it is not a merchant vessel we took, but a pirate
which we forced to surrender. It is true that the term letter of
marque is not genendly admitted as synonimous with cation,
and that the mistake of a ship's supposing a man of war a
merchant vessel, is rather rare ; but with that exception, the ar-
ticle in the .Illettiteur explains in a satisfactory manner every
thing strange in the account of some other Journals, which
impute to our Marine, acts which other nations have always
blamed in the English Navy.

OFFICIAL. NEWS—FIRST DISTRICT OF OPERA-
TIONS-11EAD-QUARTEIts—OItDER OE THE 20TH
OF MARCH, 1023, AT FIGUEHES.
" The army will be henceforth arranged in fouf divisions :
" First division, composed of the second battalion of Apica,
the first battalion of Zamora, the regiment of infantry of the
line of Murcia, the Militia of Murcia, the light battalion of
liarbastro,—under the command of Field-Marshal D. Tr.
.51ilans.
" Second division, compoied of a detachment of the royal
guard, the second battalion of Cantabria, the second battalion
of the Princess, the regiment of infantry 'of Malaga, a battalion
of the militia of Orense, the light battalion of kiostalrich,—
under the command of Field-Marshal Don Juan Mans.
"'Third division, composed of a marine battalion, a battalion
of Gallicia, a battalion of military orders, the militia of Siquen-
za, the second light battalion of Catalonia, the second battalion
of the Canaries,—under the command of Don Antonio Roten.
" Fourth division, composed of a battalion of Corunna, a
battalion of Toledo, a battalion of Majorca, the first battalion
Cantabria, the light battalions of Tarragon said Barcelona,—
under the command of Colonel 1). M. Ouerrea. .
" The Commanders of the three first divisions will continue
to be charged conformably to the 7th article under the 3d head
of the 7th Ordinances of the army, with the post which was al-
lotted them by the general Ordinance of the 25th of last Sep-
tember. The Commander of the fourth division will be charg-
ed in the same manner with the province of bends.
"The General-in-Chief of the Staff; ZORRAQUIN."
The superior authorities, both political and municipal, of
Catalonia have transported by sea into other provinces, some
persons who had been put on their trial, but whose case had nut
been decided, charged with having taken. part in the dis-
orders of Catalonia. Independently of their presence being
useless in a place put in a sate of war, and. exposed to the first
attacks of the enemy, their remaining there might be fatal to
the Constitutionalists or themselves. About 67 individuals
were embarked on the 25th of March on board the brigantine

Jason.--( Universal.)
General Murillo, commander of the corps which is now orga•
sizing in Galicia, has taken with hint a corps formed of ser-
jeants, corporals, and privates of the ex-royal guard, detained at
Madrid in consequence of the events of the 7th of July. They
express the greatest ardour to repel the foreign invasion. If in-
dulgence is ahewn to those who repent, inflexible justice will
overtake such as continue in the ranks of the insurgents ; on
the sth of April, the inhabitants of Madrid having recognized a
corporal of the itx.oyal guard in the midst of a detachment of
99 insurgents who were made prisoner:4 with their Chiefs, be
was ordered out of the ranks to be delivered up to justice with
the other leaders of time band.
The brave Neapolitan Colonel Pisa, Aide-de-Camp to Gen.
Pepe, and who on all occasions, but especially on the 7th of
July, has been among the first to rally the Constitutionalists in
defence of liberty, has solicited to obtain the favour of enroll.
ing himself as a private soldier in the squadron of cavalry of
Almanza, and to serve at his own expense. Many other Ita-
lians, among whom are named Captain Don Manmeto Ro-
mani, Captain Don Constantine Vicere, Don Antonio Benda,
Advocate of Lombardy, and Don Jacob Querini, student in
Mathematics, at the University of Pada, have joined the Chief
of Battalion Ayiner. "We doubt not," says the Universal,
which give; this news, " the new corps will rival that which
has been so honourably distinguished in Catalonia; and which
at present consists of 600 infantry and 100 lancers, with the
ancient uniform of the Polish lancers. The Captain Pachia-
retti commands the infantry. The Count Bianco, of Turin,
commands the lancers."
•
We read the following article in the Universal, which every
one knows is the Ministerial Journal :
" In vain philosophers weary themselves to demonstrate that
policy should be nothing else than a moral power applied to the
happiness of nations. Policy will be still, unfortunately for a
long time, the art of deceiving and of enslaving men. The most
skilful diplomatist is he that knows best to dissemble what he
thinks; and the ablest cabinet is that which best understands
how to disguise its real intentions.
" It cannot be denied that in this respect the English Cabi-
net has not always passed for the first of the Cabinets of Eu-
rope ; and thence it happens that its conduct gives now so vast
a field to opposing hopes and contradictory calculations. Al-
though it should attempt disguise, however, it could not con-
ceal its designs from those who are aware that that Government
act oftener according to the councils of personal interest, than
in conformity with the suggestions of party.
" But why does the English Cabinet at present confide diplo.
matic missions of the greatest importance to persons whose
opinions ace not conformable to those which ought to prevail in
that Cabinet ? We beard this question put the day on which
Lord Somerset abruptly left this capital, after having received
a courier extraordinary, who left London March 19th, and
Paris the 2'2d.
" Lord Someiset, it was answered, is in effect one of the
most decided partisans of the policy of Lord Castlereagh, of
which Mr. Peel is the heir; but let us call to mind the epoch
at which this nobleman arrived at Spain, and that at which he
arrived at Madrid daring his sojourn, and we shall be able to
discover at once the motive of his arrival and his return.
" On the other side, it is well known that the English Go-
vernment has always in foreign countries accredited agents,
demi-confidential agents, and secret and confidential agents
charged with observing the conduct of the first.
" The tendency of the policy of Mr. Canning is already very
plain, but it will be completely developed on the commence-
ment of hostilities agstinst Spain, us that is the moment fixed by
the English Minister to send out Lord Rentinck. This veteran
champion of liberty will appreciate our nation better than his
predecessor ; he will be able to convince his Government that
we have strength and means to support the struggle.
" The sagacity of our readers, continues the Journal, will
dissipate the obscurity -which at first sight, they may find in
this answer, which we publish with the view of preventing new
political intrigues, which may be already designed on account
of the present appearance of the policy of the English Cabinet."
A private letter which we received front Madrid, an-
nounces that the liberal Spaniards, who already distrusted Sir
W. A'Court, iii consequence of the game which he played at
Naples, are still more • estranged front him since the discovery
of the intrigue of Bertram De Lis, to which it is sup-
posed that this Minister and Lord Fitzroy Somersat were not
strangers.

" SWITZERLAND.
" Lansawxi:, Aram 111.—The unexpected halt of the
Austrian troops in Lombardy, allows us to think a great acti-
vity reigns in the Bureaus of the Federal Military Commission.
The Officers of the Staff' come and go. Our Representative
Council has been assembled these three days, and has named a
Committee, which is charged to arrange with the Council of
State what is necessary to be done in the present circumstances.
The usual forms have been dispensed with for greater expedi-
tion. The Committee has already met twice. The Council of
State holds continual Sittings, and at all hours. What is the
meaning of this ? What is in contemplatlpn ? What is de•
mantled of the Swiss ? No one knows. A titousaid contra-
dictory rumours circulate on this subject. Mention is made of
Eprojects disclosed to the Federal Directory by a Minister of
ngland, at I know not what Court. It is said that the Great
Councils of 'Vend and Friburg have been assembled like our
own. _ _

''ifowever people chuse to flatter themselves that the pre.
sense of Austrian troops near our southern frontiers will be mo.
mentary, yet the Canton of Tessin has conceived an alarm which
its geographical position naturally explains, but which until

now did not appear to have any foundation. Since the passage '
through Switzerland had been opened to strangers in 1813 and
1815 the storm cannot growl around us,' but our imagination
represents it to us as ready to fall on our heads.
" In this Canton, ,and in that of Geneva, measures of the
greatest rigour have been adopted against the Italian refugees,
Who, not finding themselves in any list of proscription, and who,
.not having been individually recalled by their governments, had.
up to this moment obtained an asylum in Switzerland. The
Greek emigrants have also been sent away, without knowing
where to turn their steps, seeing the measures put in force, in
reference to them, in all the neighbouring States. Many of
' those unfortunate persona are literally at the eve of dying of
wretchedness.. Benevolence will be soon restrained to barren
wishes in their favour, for the hint of a subscription would be
regarded as a conspiracy, and compassion would be looked
upon as an attempt against good order."

PARIS PAPERS OF THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
( Front the Journal de Paris.)
PAM'S, APRIL 25.--We hasten to lay before
our readers the following notice published at
Bordeaux, which gives, at length, correct infor-
mation respecting the embargo which was laid
on Spanish vessels in several ports.

ROYAL NAVY.
" The Journals of Bordeaux of this day have spoken of the
embargo laid on Spanish vessels in the ports of France; this
measure took place for a few days only, and was dictated by re-
gard to the interest of the French army, that its movements might
not be known in Spain ; but his Excellency the Minister of
the Marine has ordered, by a dispatch of the 14th of April, this
embargo be taken off, and the same protection to be given to
Spanish merchantmen as to French.
The King considers none as enemies of France, but the
Spanish pirates and privateers : they alone are objects of the
turveillance of the vessels commanded by officers of his Ma-
jesty's navy.
" The ship news of the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th, of this
mouth, from SL Jean' de Luz, to the Sables d'Oleron, prove
that there is not a single Spanish cruiser in the Gulf of Gas-
! gony, and that the navigation of it is perfectly secure.

of th

A letter from Limoux (says the JournL or ie Upper t.
ronne), dated the 17th of April, gives the following statement:—
" A conspiracy, planned by the Spanish revolutionists, has
been discovered at Perpignan and at Limoux. A commis-
sioner bearing dispatches from Mina has just been arrested,
and another individual of our town, accused of having distri-
buted proclamations, has fled. A part of the department was
to be excited to insurrection by the conspirators; but the whole
has completely failed, thanks to the activity of the police of
Perpignan and of M. de Maintenon, the King's Attorney in
the Civil Tribunal of Limoux.—Count Amarante, who was
said to have been killed, having learned in the province of
Traz-os.Montes, in Portugal, that the French army had crossed
the Bidassoa, has made a proposal to the Duke of Angottleme
to enter on his side into Spain, or to advance with 2000 infan-
try and 000 cavalry towards Astorga. The Duke of Angou-
leme has returned his thanks to Count Amarante, but has not
accepted the offer of his services, because France is not at war
with Portugal."
