" Van Halen has prorogued for six hours, from the
6th, the time granted to deliver up arms. The unin-
habited houses are to be left open, to be certain if
there be any arms concealed therein:'
A letter from St. Jean de Luz, dated the 7th of
December, and addressed to the Phare des Pyrennees,
says :—" A report is in circulation here that a French
vessel, of the port of Socoa, laden with 'merchandise,
forwarded from the custom-house, and' destined for
Oporto, which left Socoa yesterday evening, has been
stopped at sea by an armed Spanish vessel, and car-
ried into one of the neighbouring ports. It is even
said that the crew has been thrown into prison. I
shall communicate to you, as soon as possible, the de-
tails of this event, if it should be confirmed."—ie
