We have received the Paris Papers of Tuesda
l'ut- t y
heY bring no 'further confirmation of the
alleged conspiracy in the French army, than that
which is afforded by the Royal Ordinance ap-
-7)ointing the Minister at War, Duke of BELLUNO,
Araiol:-General of the Army of the Pyrenees,
a'ld the
Precipitate departure of that Alinister for
the frontier. From the obscure allusions which are
tame f ,
‘0 evi,le k-ireneral GUILLEMINOT, however,. it is-
nt that the Parisian Editors know more

dyed by the army than they think it prudent
tr art, at liberty to disclose. This much is cer-
a number

3300,,, be recollected that that distinguished
L'''Y of the Spanish Cortes,Senhor ARGUELLES,
n
-°l'. an early opportunity after the FrenchGo-
,Zeßnt had made a public avowal of its hostile,
vl
•ctio against his country, of declaring his con-
-4 that from the moment a French soldier
!let his -
foot on the Spanish territory, Spaniards
;of all
Parties would immediately coalesce, and,
uhr,getting their se
unite parate views, would cordially.
back for the purpose of resisting and driving
,
to tne foreign enemy. Even the character
for
go®d sense and discrimination possessed by
111114JELLEs, could not, in
Y the opinion of
.theseatt persons, divest . the declaration of
b. sentiments of an air of rhodomontade ;
, Ittstri eventsi
are daily proving that this il-
tbnus Spaniard knew well how to estimate
.4_e feelings and dispositions of his countrymen ;
(1 that there was much less of the hyperbolical
ht hi
s. energetic defiance of the power of

France than was at first imagined. It is now
well known that a general spirit of
.enthu-
siam, in favour of the Constitution, has been
kindled throughout Spain, and that great num-
bers of the adherents of the- Faith have already
ranged themselves under the national standard,
for the protection of their country from foreign vio-
lation. In our present paper, we insert the pro-
:dositions of the Royalist Governor of Mequinenza,
offering to negociate with the Constitutionalists,
and to submit to the Government proposals for
" forming one family of all Spaniards of both
parties," in order that their country may he pre-
served from the calamities attendant on the
threatened invasion.

We have received this morning. Bayonne and
Dutch Papers, of which the following are ex-

tracts :

" BAYONNE, MARCH 20.—The Marshal Duke
Ass,
of Reggio arrived in this city yeSterday, to take
the command of the Ist corps of the army. Mr.
Sicard, the Intendant General, is also arrived.
The movement of the troops continues, and all go

to take up cantonments on the frontiers as they
arrive; of the two battalions of infantry of the
Guard, however, one has gone into cantone-
ments in the Bautieue of Bayonne, and the
others, which is to do duty about the Duke of
Angouleme, remains in the city. It is impos-
sible to form an idea of the immense quantities
of provisions which are preparing, and of the
large sums of money that are daily employed ;
and yet it is with difficulty that forage is pro-
cured at Bayonne and in the environs. The
want of this article is much more sensibly felt in
the three provinces of Biscay, and it is impos-
sible that Navarre, though fertile, should long
support 18 or 20,000 men, which there will be
with this army.

" We expect with impatience the two mails
from Madrid, but we learn that they have been
interrupted near Burgos by the band of Merino,
and the contents burned. However, by one of
the many couriers that have passed through, we
have the following authentic accounts up to the
17th :

" The last levy for the active army had already been made
in the Capital, and besides that, a great number of young men
had enlisted voluntarily. All the accounts from Andalusia,
Estremadura, and La Manch, state, that they were eagarly
imitating the Capital; and that if the Treasury had had the
necessary funds, it would have been easy to raise the whole
population in a mass. In the midst of this favourable dis-
position, we have learnt, however, that LTlman, who sepa-
rated from Bessieres at Manilla, had thrown himself into
the Kingdom of Valencia, arrived, between the 4th and
the 6th, at the Huerta of that City, after having repulsed,
with' some loss,- the National Guard which had marched
out to meet him, and even taking some prisoners, that the
Valencians, thinking that the Royalist Chief would have ven-
tured to attack the city, had prepared for their defence, being
resolved-to receive him; and that at the end, Inman,- with,
2,000 men, had retreated by Segorbe towards the position of
Arragon, where he was closely pursued by the column of Bri-
gadier Torres, and by other troops from Valencia and Cu-
enca, and lastly by Empecinado, who had been detached with
a column from Saragossa, so that it was hoped that within
a few days ago the band would have the same fate as that of
kape. The Political Chiefs of Vittoria, Bilbao, and St. Se-
bastian, have sent orders to the young people of the Constitu-
tional party to assemble in the capital; In Navarre every thing
is pretty tranquil since the departure of the troops of Santos
Ladron for St. Jean Pied de Port—Orders have been received
at Tudela from Saragossa to form considerable magazines,
especially of grain; and on the 12th lodings were prepared
there for officers of all ranks, but hitherto no troops have
made •their appearance, unless it be those necessary for the
garrison of Pampeluna, which traverse Navarre in different
directions, but do not perhaps amount to 4,000 men.
[The Bayonne Papers also contain accounts
from Madrid, respecting the preparations for
the ixo's departure up to the 17th instant,
which, however, have been wholly anticipated
by previous arrivals.]

FRANKFORT, MARCH 20.—The report of the
capitulation of the Castle of Corinth is confirmed ;
3,500 men laid down their arms on the 12th
of February, to be conveyed to Asia. The
news of the reduction of Patoa, by the
Greeks, appears to be premature. Accord-
ing to accounts given' by travellers who had
arrived at Belgrade, Larissa was in the hands of
the Turks on the 19th Feb. The Greeks, how-
ever, had possession of Zeitouni and Vole, and
are advancing along the sea coast, all the dis-
tricts on that side declaring in their favour. The
Greek partisan Diamanty was already ou the
north of Larissa, and impeded the communica-
tion between that fortress and Solonichi. On
the 6th of March a report was spread that La-
rissa had really surrendered, but this report re-
quires confirmation. ,

[FROM ft CORRESPONDENT.]
STOCK EXCHANGE, Twelve *o'Clocic.—This day
being Good Friday no business is doing in the
Funds, and up to the above hour we do not_ hear
of any Express having arrived from Paris.lt is
supposed that a DeOiration of War on the part
of the French Gover!iment will be issued before
the French Army enters Spain, the language of
which will throw the blame,.of the war on the

Spanish Government, but at the same time hold
forth, before the army matches on Madrid, that
France-will stiillisten to.any Moderate.proposals
on the Part of the Spanish:-:9overrirMidycon-
df sistent with the future w.elfir Zir Spain/ antlithe
g
honour. and security of Fr ec)...- By this apan-
ceuvre, the French will en.. . 'vti'iur 'to pAve- to
the World that they have triciti the last effort on
their part to prevent the effuSion of blood., But
the character of the Spanish .cation is too well'
known; they are proud of the Amnon!. of .their
country, and they will not give np one article of
their Constitution. .
.;.

The House of Commons adjourned last night
until the 10th of April. Mr. CANNING again
stated, that our Treaties with Foreign Powers
only bound us to the exclusion of the family
of BUONAPARTE from the throne of France, and
not to the maintenance of any other particular
Family on the throne of that Monarchy.

Advices to the 2d ult. have been received from
Rio de Janeiro. It was ascertained that the
Portuguese troops at Monte Video had refused
to embark for Europe, the squadron seat from
Rio for that purpose having returned in the lat-
ter end of Jnnuary without effecting its object.
The future political state of Monte Video was
placed in much uncertainty. The Portuguese
troops aimed at retaining possession of it for
Portugal : General LECOIL had instructions, by
sending off the European troops, to secure it for
Brazil ; while the Government of Buenos Ayres,
situated on the opposite bank of the Rio de la
Plata, had formed the design of acquiring, if
possible, this valuable territory. On the return
of the squadron to Rio, an eml) argo was laid for
a few days in that port, and a.tt:expedition, con-
sisting of two frigates, two*Oops, and three
brigs of war, were subsequene# dispatched for
13ahia, as supposed, to co-operate Pith Gen. LABA-
TOUR.. An arrival has, however, also taken place
from Maranharn,'brin,,ging a journal published on
the 12th tilt., containing the following account
of the defeat of LABATUtiIt by the Portuguese
troops in Bahia :
"IVARANIIAM., FEB. 11.—By a schoctlekarrived at this port
from Pernambuco; we have received' y;' -nce from that
province, and from Bahia, which can,ii;;hly,satis-
factory
to the inhabitants of this city,' t.ifbe. sent by 4,
Providence to dissipate the .impressiOu'pi7..iceti'Vthe disas-
trous events of Pillahuhy.

" The Chief Labatour, successively defeated by the troops
of Bahia, has been routed with very great loss to the dissidents.
Gen. Madeira finally determined to attack the enemy without
the defensive lines of the city, and victory constantly accomr
panied the Constitutionalists. Labatour was put to flight, and
it is not yet with certainty known whither he and the rest of
the fugitives have gone ; but it is supposed that he is in Se-
rigipe. It appears certain, that Lieutenant-Colonel Cahiola is
pursuing him, with orders to advance as far as the Alagoas,
keeping ilie7tornintinication open between the city of Bahia and
the interior."'
- . -
A letter in the same journal from Pernambuco,
dated the 2(l'cif Tebruary, states, that the prin-
cipal defeat obcniTOd On the 26th of January.

THE KING.-(ikighton, March 26.) —His
Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE took
leave of his MAJESTY, and left the Palace, to
return to. Bushy Park, between eleven and
twelve o'clock this morning.
Yesterday, at one o'clock, a Cabinet Council
was held at the Foreign-office, Dow•ing-street.
A ballot took place at the Bank yesterday, in
pursuance of the requisition of Mr. G UNDIt Y and
other Proprietors, on the question whether the
half-yearly dividend should be 4 per cent., ac-
cording to the proposition of the 'Directors, or
5 per cent., according to the amendment moved
at the last quarterly meeting. On the scrutiny,
the numbers were found to be 244 for 4 per
cent., and 161 for the greater dividend ; leaving
a majority of 83 in favour of the proposition of
the Directors.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, it. is said, is
to have an Earldom of the United Kingdom, by
the title of Earl of NTYNYX'an, with remainder
to Lord GEORGE HENRY STEWART, his Lord-
ship's son by his present Lady.,
Yesterday morning Mr. CnolF.i4; M. P. left

At the theatre of Marseilles 044,te 17th of
this month, during. the representaitan of Paul
and Virginia, on the Negroes announcing the
;arrival of the Governor, by the name of La.'
bourdonnaye, and when the actor who repre-
sented that personage came on the stage, hisses,
together with repeated cries, 44 We don't want
that man."—" Collar him!" issued from every
part of the theatre.--,(French Pqper.)
General GUILLEMINOT, whose name has been
mentioned iii connexion with the conspiracy in
the French army, is not a Frenchman by birth,
but a Belgian. From his youth up he has been
inclined to revolutionary principles ; having taken
part in the Belgian insurrection so early as 1790,
and served in the French army down to the
restoration of 1814, when he received particular
honours and distinctions from the King"; notwith-
standing which, he took an active part in the re-
bellion of 1815, and was appointed Major-General
of Fouche's army, in which capacity he signed
the capitulation of Paris. He has ever since
been known as a Liberal ; and it does *seem
rather extraordinary that such a man shotild be
selected for the important post of Major-General
ufider the Duke d'Angouleme ! He is, 'however,
one of the best,informed oMcers in France.
