The Barb°kits I)uriense explains the nature of
the deception by which the. Portuguese banditti
of the Faith' obtained their temporary success, on
the 13th of March. It appears that on the night
of the 12th, a cavalry officer came to the head.
quarters of Brigadier Pamplona Moniz, at Radial,
where General Rego then was. Tie pretended
to be an emissary from his comrades, who wished
to escane from the rebels and join the Constitu-
tionalists, but he was really a spy.. He saw that
the troops, initeid of being bivouacked, were in
quarters, and he returned to Chaves to report his
observations. " This officer," says the Batbo.

Zeta," formerly regarded, inconsequence both of
":his speeches and his writings, as one of *the
" most steady constitutional patriots, could not
" be suspected of coming to carry on a horrible
"plot, and act the part of a base spy." The
account then *says—" At day-br'eak a force of
"three squadrons of cavalry appeared in front
" of the principal position, and a cordon on the
" flank, extending as far as our cantonments."—
The troops on the spot, particUlarly the 21st
Regiment, fought gallantly, but they were com-
pletely taken by surprise. General Jtego him-
self narrowly jescaped from being made a pri-
soner. The loss of the Constitutionalists was,

however, inconsiderable. They had no officers
killed ; but a Captain of the rebels was killed,
and the Camp-Marshal Vahia, who commanded
the attack, was wounded in the arm. On the
14th, all the Constitutional officers who had been
made prisoners were called upon to join the in-
surgents, or to promise not to bear arms against
them. They all refused except two, one of whom
is not a Portuguese. His name is Mayer, a
native of Hanover.

On the 18th, a Priest was brought prisoner to
Lisbon from Santarem, where he had been ar-
rested for attempting to seduce from the Consti-
tutional cause the soldiers of a regiment of in-
fantry under orders to march.

LONDON,
TUESDAY, APRIL 8 18'23.

Some of the Paris Papers, from which we gave
extracts yesterday, were of Saturday rnorning•
We have since received the .Paris Journals of
Saturday evening, from which we have taken the
first Order of the Day issued by the Duke
d'AxGouLtur to the Army of the Pyrenees, dated
from his Bead-quarters at Bayonne, the 30th

March, and countersigned by Najor-General
GUILLEMINOT. This Order of the Day is'
dated on the very day on which we stated,
in our Paper of the 31st, ult. that the
breaking up of. the French Army was to
commence,--a circumstance which sufficiently
proves the accuracy of our intelligence, though
from the incompleteness of the military prepara-
tions, we have since been led to expect that the
actual advance of the French Army has been
postponed for a few days. The Address of
the Prince. Generalissimo,to his Soldiers, there-
fore, only announces his arrival amongst
them, and expresses his confidence in their
good dispositions, and his own resolution to
watch over all their wants. The Paris
.Papers, however, add, that movements had
begun to take place among the various bodies
of troops which were assembled in the Eastern
Pyrenees ; and that the different corps had re-
ceived orders which indicated that the Army was
forming into divisions. At Bordeaux the repOrt

was general that the first movement in advance

was to be made on the 7th inst.. (yester-
day), while at Paris it is believed, that hostili-
ties were to commence on some day between
the sth and the 18th instant ;
,the Journal des
Debuts mentions the 7th. All tiegociation was
thoyght to be at an end, and every
.prospec,t of
hostilities destroyed. The nuked' ANGOUIEME
was expected to issue a Manifesto immediately
upon entering Spain, and a Declaration was to
appear simultaneously, as has been some time
since alleged, in the ilioniteur.
On Saturday the French Minister of 'War,
DIJEONI proposed to the Chamber of Deputies
a project of law for enabling forty thousand
men to be added to. the army. One of our
Correspontlenti at Paris apprized us of the

Resolution to adopt that measure immediate-
ly on its being decided in the Council of
Ministers on Sunday, the 30th ult., and enabled
us to announce it exclusively in Tim SUN of the
2d inst. It should not be forgotten that this
Council of Ministers was held in consequence of
the arrival of a Courier from Perpignan, and who
was believed to be the bearer of unfavourable
intelligence. The Chamber ordered the project
of law to be printed, and fixed the preparatory
discussion for Monday (yesterday).

Lord FITZROY SOMERSET has arrived in Paris
from Madrid, on his way to this country.

The Constitutionnel Paris Paper of Saturday
last contains the following paragraph :

64 Yesterday evening the Ministerial Journal
accused THE Sux of falsehood in reporting that
Press 'Warrants would soon be issued, but it
preserves a profound silence on the report of the
march of Russian troops announced by the Eng-
lish Journalist."

Our statement, was, in consequence of the al-
leged march of the Russians, " that Press War-
rants were expected to be issued in a very few
days." Let it be proved that the Russians are
actually in motion for the French frontier, and it
will soon be seen whether our expectation is
well or ill founded..

We have this morning received Madrid Papers
of the 21st ult. All the intelligence which they
contain has of course been anticipated by the
previous arrivals which brought down our news
from that capital to the 30th.

The following are extracts from the German
Papers received this morning :--
« SWITZERLAND, MARCH 23.—Baron Talley-
rand, Minister of France iu Switzerland, has
just been recalled by his Government.
66 FRANKFORT, MARCH 26.—The first Sitting
of the Diet after the Easter Holidays will be on
the 10th April, by which time the new President,
Baron Von Munch, will certainly arrive. People
are curious for his opening speech ; but no
proposals are expected to be made from any,
quarter to limit the'Constitutional system. We
have two Extracts from a remarkable Memorial
which was circulated at the Congress of Ve-
rona, and during negociations that have just
taken place,—but, as it is confidently affirm-
ed that the principles developed in this
memorial met with no approbation, so far at least
as relates to proposals for a greater interference
of the highest authority of the Confederation in
the internal affairs of the individual States, or in
the constitution that has been equally established,

it. is considered as positive that certain plans are
given up, and will not in any way be carried into
execution. Immediately after Easter, too, the
grand question of the purchasers of the West-
phalian domains in the Electorate of Ilesse will
be brought forward and decided.
" They write from Truilikon, in the Canton
of Zurich, that Cie follies of the religious sects,
of which they had not heard any thing of for
some ame, had been renewed in the same
places that formerly were the theatre of
their offensive proceedings, and observe, that
in addition to the scenes which took place
at Truilikon on the night of the 14th
March, a' young female visionary pretended that
Buonaparte had appeared to her ; and had in-
spired her with the resolution to die, to save
thousands of souls. This apparition influenced the
imagination of several fanatics, and the sacrifice
was instantly resolved upon. Men, women, and
young girls immediately fasten the unfortunate
young woman to a board, and amidst the cries
of joy uttered by the victim, they drive nails
into her feet anti hands, tear her breast, dash her
head to pieces with a mallet, hinging hymns to
celebrate her death. Six of the guilty persons have
been arrested, and the investigation is still going on,
accounts add, that a sister of the unhappy young
woman has also perished in a similar manner,
likewise a victim of religious rage. Her brother-
in-law has acknowledged to have been her as-
sassin.---(Journal de Frankfort, March 31.)

[FROM A COHRESPONDENT.]
STOCK EXCHANGE, Half-past Twelve o'Clock.—
There are no Expresses this morning from Paris,
on account of the occurrence of Sunday. The
Public is anxious for accounts from Russia, in
consequence of the many rumours 'that Russia
is about to assist France in the invasion of
Spain.----I understand that a Gentleman Las
arrived in town who left Madrid very re-
cently, and who, on his route, observed every
where a display of the greatest energy on the
part of the Spaniards. The wealthy Spaniards
had zealously united with the lower orders in
subruiting to every privation ; and were to be seen
marching or quartered in the same barns with

the pesantry. At Bayonne this Gentleman was
requested to make a report of his observations to
General GUI,LLEMINOT.—ConsoIs opened at 74,
74i, at which they are steady, with a heavy
market and little doing.
FOREIGN MARKET.—Spanish Bonds opened
at 271 f, and were done at 272 .
