[From the Etatle of Thursday evening.]
A letter which we have received from the
Army ofSpain, the authenticity of which we can
guarantee, contains the following details respect-
ing the affair which was communicated this day
to the' Chamber of Deputies:—
" Seventy or eighty deserters, French Neapolitan, and Pied-
montese, among whom were seen several from our own army,
presented themselves to-day about noon at the Pas de Behobie.
These fections marched in good order, under their enormous
tti-coloured flags, and ranged themselves in order of battle, be-
fore the mansion of the Spanish Custom-house Officei. They
were armed and clothed exactly in imitation of the Ex-Impe-
rial Guard. At the same moment the whole of the Spanish re.
giment called the Union, formerly the Imperial Alexander,
and about five or six hundred strong, crowned the heights
which cover Irun beyond the mountain of St. Martial.
" These deserters, from the moment of their arrival, sung
seditious songs, and alternately invoked, in their fury, Napo-
leon 11., the Republic, the Constitution, and Liberty. They
repeatedly hailed, as comrades and old brethren in arms, the
officers and soldiers of the 9th light infantry, inviting.them to
come and join them. The leaders placed themselves tofront,
in order that they might be better heard et the French posts. The
latter maintained a profound silence ; but their impatience was
extreme. The cheeritigs and incitements continued a con.
siderable time. General Vallin ordered the advapce of a piece
of artillery.
" This demonstration did not at all daunt the factious. They
redoubled their violence and in their vociferations were heard
the cries of Viva the 9th Light Infantry, and Vive the Artil-
lery !' They paid dearly for this insult. General Yellin, un-
able any longer to restrain his indignation and that of the brave
men whom he commanded, ordered them to fire on the traitors.
Three discharges of cannon were successively fired to the cries
'of Vive le Roi !' and a few musket shots, threw into disorder
this band of foreigners, among • whom France had the misfor-
-tune to reckon many of her children. Six of the rebels fell
dead upon the spot, and others were wounded, three of them
mortally.
" Some soldiers who passed to the other side to entrench the
houses which stood there, brought back a French deserter,
wounded, who declared that the Chiefs assured hint that the
French soldiers would not fire on them, but that the first troops
they encountered would eagerly range themselves under their
wlours."There were found upon him, as well as upon those
who were dead, proclamations and tri-coloured cockades, which
they were ordered to distribute as soon as they were joined by
-our soldiers.
" One of the Chiefs, it is said, is among the number of the
:dead, but his name is not known. Neither is it known whether
Nautil, Lamotte, and Favier were with this troop, which,
according to information received, was commanded by one
Legros.
" The Imperial Regiment, Alexander, remained tranquil
spectators. of this affair, and retired, as soon as the deserters
took to flight..
" TuE 7Tu.—Eight o'clock, a. m.—The bridge has been
thrown across to-day at the Pas de Behobie, and it is announced
to me that the 9th Light Infantry is already at Irun. The re-
mainder of d'Autichamp's division is passing the river. The
Oonstitutionalists have retired since yesterday evening."
A letter from the Custom-house Officer of
Behobie announces, that Lamotte and Wilmot,
alias Casain, are among the killed in the affair of
yesterday. The same letter also states, that the
',Constitutional troops quitted, yesterday evening,
the town of Irun, after having Committed every
kind of excess against the Royalists there. The
Authorities presented themselves yesterday even-
ing at the. advanced posts, to offer the keys of
the town. The firing of cannon at St. Sebastian
was heard, and it was believed that the Royalist
-Chief Zabala was under the walls of that city.
[From the Pilote of Friday.]
pAYONNE, APRIL b.—The day before yesterday an extra•
ordinary commercial courier from Madrid, which he left the
Ist instant, passed through OUT city. He annquneed that the
capital enjoyed perfect tranquillity, and that movements of
troops were taking place on every side. Baron d'Eroles expe-
rienced some difficulty in the organization of his corps. Two
hundred men whom he had armed and equipped had quitted
him,'and returned to Spain.
[From La Foudre of Thursday.]
The French revolutionists hope, if their brethren
in Spain are obliged to quit Seville, that they
will be able to convey the King off by sea to
America. We. must destroy these hopes. Two
French frigates are cruizing off the entrance of
the Guadalquiver ; consequently, the ship in
which they may embark the King, cannot fail of
falling into their hands.
By order of the Prince Generalissimo, com-
mercial couriers are interdicted from passing the
frontiers of Spain.
The advance guard of the army has, it is said,
arrived at Tolosa. It is every where received
with enthusiasm.
All Navarre is rising against the Constitutional
system. Letters from Pampelunti. state, that the
arrival of the French troops is awaited there with
impatience.
An Officer, worthy of. credit, who has just
arrived from the Eastern Pyrenees, assures us,
that Mimi has with him only five or six thousand
•
disciplined men. The rest of his division is COM-
posed of militia, badly armed and clothed.
The Royalists are masters of the environs of
Madrid. Colonel Isidore Chief of a considerable
corps of faithful Spaniards, is in possession of
Guadalaxara.—The French Consul from Madrid
has arrived in Paris.
If the Mote may be credited (whose intelli-
gence is always of very questionable- character,)
the AMbassador of Portugal has received his
passports and quitted Paris.---(Gazette de France.)

BAYONNE, Anal. b.—Eight hundred men of the Army of

St. Alerted, near Trun, in order to facilitate the.establishment

Illy:an Extraordinary courier:l
BAYONNE, APRIL 7.—The troops crossed the Bidassoa this
morning amidst shouts of " Vine le flail" Towards noon the
Spanish Imperial Regiment of Alexander was ranged in battle
array on the heights of Iron, and appeared disposed to defend
the passage of the river. A detachment of 100 men, who were
recognised to be French refugees; having a tricoloured flag,
came down to the bank of the lidassoa, invited the soldiers of
the 9th regiment of light infantry to drink with them, and used
every artifice to corrupt our soldiers. The latter made no reply
whatever to these provocations. General Vallin, who was oil,
the spot, caused a piece of cannon to be
ar advantillerced,
en were ex e-
and ordered'
it to be charged with grape. Whilst the ym
cuting this order, the refugees incessantly shouted " The brave
artillery for ever ! Long live our comrades of the artillery !"
