,Excellency immediately pushed' his advanced guard on the
-three roads of St. Andero, Palencia, and Aranda. It would be

town the day before, retiring Upon. Mallen and Tarragona ; a

same day in those twadirections. Every where on its march

it. Triumpind arches adorned the entrance of the towns where;
, our troops have entered .1' and' they were met with music, and
with transports of the liveliest joy ; this reception has made a
profound impression on our soldiers, and confirms their good
.;.understanding with the inhabitants.

( Extract of a Private Letter
.frorn Burgos, .Ipril2•l.)
" Some days since the Municipality of Burgos dispatch-
.'eti a courier to the Duke of. Reggio, to inform him that the
'French troops were impatiently expected at that ancient capital
• of Castile, and that provisions and forage in, abundance were
"-collecting in the magazine. order of his Royal Highness the
,Centriander.in-Chief, the first corps marched for Burgos,
which Wintered on the '22d, and was received with unanimous
acclamations by the population, who came to meet our troops.
" We may say, without tear of being accutted of exaggera-
tion, that all classes of society took a real part, .on the entrance
-•of the King's troops, and shewed no less soy than the-countion
•.;people.
" it is affirrnetlthat we shall not meet with any obstacles be-
tween this and 'Madrid. Persons _coming from .that capital say,
• 'that Gencral Abisbal, who has 0,000 men, (troops of the line),
`has taken the silver utensils from the churches, and sent them
to the mint to supply himself with money, which has caused
.• great murmurs among the people. Ile is said to be posted at
• The Prado with sonic pieces of cannon, which helms taken from
Segovia. He has already taken measures to fall back on the
-Tagus at the approach of the French army. The weather is
, abominable ;1t rains continually, and is very cold ; hut as the
army takes some days repose it does not suffer from the season."

'" Buttons, APRIL 25.---The whole tract between this and
Duitrago, in the 'direction of Madrid, as well as between
Duenasand Bongos, is. absolutely free. General Empecinado
is endeavouring to form Guerillas, but, according to accounts
.received yesterday, he'll** not been able to collect above fifty
men, paying them well. . .
" Valladtilid. is occupied by about 100 regular cavalry, and
200 National Militia. -All the violent Constitutionalists have left
the place, and are gone either, to Madrid or Corunna. Murillo,
with 1,600 men, sts marching to Leon. Espinosa having lost
500 men by desertion by the time lie had reached Somosierra,
continued his march to Madrid with about 1,000 men; and will
probably arrive there the day after to-morrow. The political
state of the province is highly satisfactory ; the people every
where declare for the good cause, even before the arrival of the
troops. They may judge, by the reception they have met with
at Burgos, of that which every where awaits them.
" The-fort of BurgOS is entirely destroyed."

PAT{ I s, A rat t. 30.—The niasquerode representing the inter-
ment of commerce, at Lyons, which certain journals attempted
to represent as a very serious aflitir, has not been considered .in
that light by the tribunal of that city, which has acquitted the
14 young men who were brought before it.
The .Journal of Toulouse gives the following accounts, taken
from a letter from Perpignan of 21it . -
" Our corps occupies the plain of Lanipouradan ; our troops
have entered the town of PigUeiras by night; they left it again
without a single shot having been fired front a cannon of the
fort. Some musket shot were fired at a detachment of ehasseurs
on horseback, which was reconnoitgring, and was led by its
guide into an ambuscade; four chasseurs ,(one of them an WE-
. cer) were wounded.
"All the troops date fnurth'corps have either entered Cato-,
lonia, or will have: done so in two days.
" The sick in the hospitals of this town are beginning. to be
sent to Narbonne. Some carts, with soldiers of the Faith, ar- '
rived to-day.
General Donnadieu has returned to Perpignan.
We learn by a letter from Bayonne that the Spanish Go-
vernaient at Seville has already delivered 37 licenses or brevets.
to authorise eicers•to form auerillas.
It is not witlthut reason that we expressed our surprise at a
certain piece of news published by the dugsburg and
which the DrapMn Plane pretended to confirm. Licut.-Gen.
Lount Cautir4; comwandar of .the first military division, has

addressed the'following letter, dated 27th, to the editor of alai
Journal

" • Sir—The details which you gave in your No of the 24th
instant, of the organization of Light-horse Volunteers, auxili-
aries of the Frendi armies of the Faith, may have the double
inconvenience of implicating poisons who may confide in thou,
and of. serving as a pretext, to attempt armaments contrary
to the interests of the State, and alarming to the public tran-
quillity-.
" therefore, ithink it my duty to inform you that the
levy and formation of the Lighthcrrse of the Faith is disapprov-
ed by the Government, and that I have issued positive orders
to cause to be arrested the pretended officers of a corps which
does not exist (who would besides be subject to military juris-
diction), and to proceed against them with all the rigour of the
and especially according to the dispositions of the Royal
Ordinance or the 10th of this month.

" I request you, Sir, to be so good as to insert this in your
next Muubtr, and to, accept the assurance of my perfect con-
sideration.

manding the First Military Division,

BAYONNE, APRIL. 27.—The provinces of Lugo, Orense,
and Mondonedo, iu Gallicia, and a part of the Asturias, have
risen against the Constitution. The Constitutionalists made
some resistance at Laredo. After six hours combat, in which
the Royalists bad only five killed and six wounded, 150 pri-
soners were taken from the Constitutionalists.
The couriers sent from head-quarters to the different corps in
some towns in Spain, travel with such safety that no escort is
requiied ; the roads are as safe as in France.
Letters from. Cadiz, of a very recent date, say that the Mu-
nicipality of that city 'has declared, that if the, Cortes should
attempt to transfer the King and , the seat of Government to
their city, they would not be received into it.
If we may believe one of our Liberal Journals, the Duke of
Belluno will go anti take the command of the 4th Corps of the
Army of the Pyrenees, instead of 11arshal Moncey, whose great
age does not allow him to make the campaign which has just
commenced. We know of nothing to confirm this news, and
to make us believe that the Duke of Belluno is again to quit
the War Department. The eagerness of the. Liberals to pub-
lish such a piece of news, makes us think they have some in-
terest that it should be true. .But when the Liberals hope any
thing, is not that a reason for the Royalists to fear it ?
(Front the Journal des Debuts of Friday, May 2.)
It is said that Ulman has entered Valencia, and that he has
caused all those persons to be shot who were concerned in the
condemnation of General EIM.

LFrom the Journal de Paris Friday.]
PARIS, MAY I.—We learn by letter of the 23d, from Per-
pignan, that Cargo], one of the Chiefs of the Army of the
Faith, whose arrest we have before mentioned, was still in
the military prison with four of his officers: all the other
officers of this division are under arrest in their camp. It
was feared that a plan of desertion had been formed in this
part of the troops of the Faith, and there was an idea of incor-
porating a company in each of the battalions of our army.
Letters from Bayonne, received to-day, say that Gen. Janre-
guy {called the Pastor) endeavoured to cover St. Andero with
6,00 men.

Our troops closely press Pampeluna ; and though it is pre.
tended that the 4,000 men who defend it have provision for 14
n'unths, it is hoped it will share the fate of Logrono, which
place, after being thrice taken and retaken, was carried the 4th
time by our brave soldiers.
A letter from Bayonne, of the 26th of April, says—" A re•
port is circulated here, that M. de Martignac is gone to Seville
on a mission;' it is even added, that three of the most distin-
guished Members of the Cortes had repaired to the head-quar-
ters of the Duke of Angoulerne. We know not what to think
of these reports."
Count Molt, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs have publish-
ed their speeches in the Chamber of Peers, the one against the
other in support of the project of law relative to the young
soldiers of the class of 1811.

The concluding paragraph of M. de Chateaubriand's speech
is as follows :—After speaking of the vain fears which it was
attempted to excite on the appearance of the tri-coloured flag,
opposed to-the white flag, he said,
"'Well, Gentlemen ! the experiment has been tried, and, as
I never doubted, it has perfectly succeeded. The cannon fired
on the llidassOa has dispelled many illusions, dispersed many
phantoms, and overthrown many hopes. Eight years of peace
have done less to consolidate the foundation of the legitimate
Throne, than twenty days of war have done. A King, who, after
having restored 113 liberty, restores its-glory ; a Prince, who in
the midst of the camp, has become the idol of 100,000 French
soldiers, have nothing more to fear from the future. Spain de-
livered front the .revolution—France resuming her rank in
Europe, and again sending un army—legitimacy acquiring the
only iiirce which it still wanted these, Gentlemen, will be the
fruits of a short war, which we did not court, but which we did
not decline.

"These great considerations ought to put an end to all po.
Utica' divisions ; we should imitate those old companions of
Conegliano, those veterans of the army of Conde, who now
repose under the same tent, and have the same flag.',

PARIS, MAY I.—Next Saturday, May 3, the ninth anniver-
sary of the King's return to•his capital, the Municipal Body

(From the journal de Commerce of Friday.)
The Memorial liordeluit of 28th April, says, "We know
positively that several French vessels are loading in our port for
Spain, and that some are named as- destined to Bilboa." It
were to be wished that the Memorial, which ism) well informed,
had mentioned the rate of insurance.
