tious, are the precursors of others of a more important nature
over the foreittn 'enemy. ,
" The provinces in general exhibit a very good spirit. The
evils which they have suffered from :hose who sty themselves
defenders of religion, have dissipated the illusions of the ibmo-
rant, and convinced all men that the constitution is the only
right path.
" The changes which have taken place in our foreign rela-
tions have not depressed the spirit of the nation. The timid,
who can never sec the resources of the country, and the malevo-
lent who would take advantage of its weakness, never can alter
the sentiments of a nation punctilious of honour, and which
never was arAistollied to mike any, compromise with in-

justice.
" The different branches of the public administration afford
in general a very favourable prospect. The Cones will with
their` usual zeal continue the important labours which havebeen.
commenced, and the national prosperity, to which these labours,
lead, will consolidate the constitutional system, which valour
and energy now defend.

killed several, and took some prisoners. In the night of the
26th, a Royalist reconnoitring party advanced as far as Sana-

the arrival of Baron d'Eroles, the terror of liberal Catalonia.
Baron d'Eroles, who arrived here yesterday, has visited M.
the Prefect. It is decreed that the troops of the Faith who
are iu this department shall be organised in five battalions., to

diately armed, clothed, and, exercised. Two hundred and
fitly tufts of clothing have been already ordered for the officers;
great movements are observed since the arrival of the Baron.
On, the 27th, a company of horse artillery and a train of field-
plecei left this town, the former destined to Tbuir, the latter to
Terrats and bloupie. To-day there have arrived from the in-
terior twenty-one train-waggons, five eight pounders (quite

To day a train-waggon has arrived from Paris with two mil.
lion francs, in gold, for the Receiver-General of this depart-

have already been received.
We (rEelio du Midi) have received from. the frontier of the
Western Pyrenees the following details of an affair which took
place at Lamuge on the 25th of Feb. last :
" The Constitutional troops, which left Figueras on the 24th,
under the command of General Lloberas (and to whom were
pined a Pyrenean Guerilla baud under the orders of Pulp
ali, and the troop of Juoguera, under the orders of Roca),
attacked, on the 25thinstant, a corps of the Army Odle Faith,
amounting to about nine hundred men, who were posted, at
Larauga. After a conflict, which lasted several hours,- the
Royalists were obliged to yield to superior numbers, And to fall I
buck "Upon the extreme frontier, where they took up new Isoaie
tions, and protected the entrance into France of from five to
6,000 inhabitants, whom the fury of their enemies had reduced
to the sad necessity of abandoning the soil of their country.
The retreat of the inhabitants having been made good, the
troops of the Faith repealed the. line. Some fighting took
place: in the evening the Constitutionalists retired, and the
Royalists retook possession of the village of Laintiga. One
of the Royalist soldiers, who was made a prisoner in the Chapel
of St. Julian, was shot by the Constitutionalists."
The Captain of is French merchantman reports, that he wu
detained during ten days in sight of the coast of Catalonia by
a Spanish felucca4 and that it was only by the sacrifice of money
that he was suffered to proceed to his destined port. lie is
hastily discharging his cargo in order to set sail, as he has re.
ceived advice that the order to capture French ships is about to
be issued.
DUring the time that this Captain was detained off the, coast,
lie remarked that the fortresses were being put in a state of de-
fence, and other preparations for war were making. The in-
habitants of Catalonia in general anxiously await the moment
of deliverance from the dreadful state of anarchy in which they
live,end;finally, most of those who have been induced to coun-
tenance the revolutionary. system, are alarmed at their positives,
and sire preparing to quit the kingdom in search of that safety
which they no longer enjoy at home.
If reports • from the frontier may be relied upon, General
d'Abisbal is called to the superior command of Catalonia,
in the room of the heroic Mina, who will be transferred to that
of Navarre. ,

PARIS PAPERS.
[PROM THE country. I'itAili2ais OF TUESDAY.]:
PARIS, 1111 rt►tctt 1 t.--Yebtertlay the public
funds experienced a decline of two per cent., the
cause of which is attributed to the belief now
entertained that hostilities, will shortly commence.
A new document was shewn on 'Change, which
leaves no longer the slightest doubt of the imme-
diate declaration of war ; we allude to lettres de
marque, which a public character °tiered, to au-
thorise the capture of Spanish ships, at the rate
of 10,000 f. each.

The Journal qf Toulouse states, that it is strongly
in contemplation to throw a bridge over the
l3idassoa, and to occupy Iron with troops of the
Faith, in order to protect the works ; in this
case all communication between Madrid and
France would cease. •

There has arrived to-night (10th) news from.
Madrid of the 3d. At that epoch new Ministers
had been named by the King, but had [dot yet
been installed. There was much agitation in
the public mind. Private letters which have
been received mention facts whicb are too impor-
tant for us not to wait the arrival of Madrid
Papers to confirm them.

Marshal Oudinot set off yesterday morning for
the army of Spain. Several General Officers also
left Paris yesterday for the same destination.—
Those who remain, and who are appointed to
