A ti'eatlemani arrived in town yesterday from Pa- • .
ris, in the space of 70' hours : he brings no intelli-
gence of importance. Respecting Spain, the chief
object of interest at present, but little is known in
France, all private letters being destroyed which
contain any personal coinplaints of hardships sus-
tained, or general'statements of obstructions to the
subjugation of the country. This inientronzl con-
cealtnent sirengihened the prevalent suspicion; . that
matters were not there so favourable as might be
wished; and the final result was held
ito be matter
of doubt.
