[MORNING- Illi:ltALA:]

There were arrivals of the date of the 30th
yesterday from Paris. The contents of the Jour-
nals are not of material importance. Mina's
having crossed the frontier and attacked the
hands of the Faith, which were collected under
the direction of the Baron d'Eroles, within the
French territory, turns out to have been a fable.
Ho merely appeared on the frontier with the
Spanish General Mobera, and inspected the
line of Spanish posts. Some of the Journals
state that he manifested a disposition to pass the
frontier line, but that upon the French posts
threatening to fire on him, be retired. The
puerility of such conduct in Mina renders it im-
probable. Another statement of the Ultra Jour-
nal is, that he was attended not only by General
Lobera, but by the French Colonel Fabvier, who
displayed an eagle to the French troops, as a ta-
lisman to incite them to mutiny or desertion. It is
added, however, that the loyalty of the troops was
incorruptible, and that they shouted five le Rol'
If this be the fact, it reflects little credit upon the
wisdom of Colonel Fabvier, that he should ex-
pect his solitary symbol of the Buonapartean
Government to produce a magical effect upon
soldiers, the most of whom- had never,, in all pro-
bability, fought under it : and it is just as
valueless considered as a criterion of the
fidelity of the French troops. That faith
must have been • very, weak indeed which
could be shaken by so slender a temptation.
Judging by the Proclamation of the Prefect
of the Department of Landes, the troops are in
more danger of being seduced from their, duty
within the French territory than by agents or
emissaries acting across the frontier. This
public functionary denounces the attempts
of malevolent intriguers to corrupt the loyalty
of the troops on their passage through the
department to their destination on their fron-
tier—attempts, however, which the Prefect
says proved wholly fruitless. The apparition of
Mina on the frontier has caused some movement
among the French troops. One regiment was
instantly ordered to take its position nearer the
bouddary. M a rshal iVioncey had reached the army,
and addressed a short Order of the Day to the Corps
d 'Armee which he is to command. it is short,

and merely impresses upon the troops the duty
not only of good conduct in the field, but of
strict discipline and respect for property, and
for the peaceable inhabitants. This evidently,
though not in express terms, applies to the con-
duct to be observed upon entering Spain. The
Order of the Day is dated the 23d ; and the Jour-
nals intimate that the war would commence on
the Ist of the month. This, however, is scarcely
compatible with the itinerary which they have
traced out for the Duke of Angouleme, or
with the changes in the organization of the army,
to effect which the Minister of War. left Paris.

It appears that changes wese resolved on, not
only in the command and organization of the
troops, but in the War Department also. The
Quatidienne announces " with delight" the latter
changes, concerted, it says, with the Minister of
War, previous to his departure. This Minister,
it further states, was expected back to Paris,
without delay, to resume his functions. These
papers contain no fresh intelligence from Spain—
nothing subsequent to the King's departure from
Madrid.
