• LIES OP THE DAY.
eanis, MAY 11...... THE QUOTIDIENNE.—An engage-
"aunt has taken place between the Spaniards and the Portu-
guese. It is believed that general hostilities will scon begin.
General Sarsfield intends to penetrate into Portugal, by way
of Castel Brand, and the province of Beira.
THE SAME, By MEANS or THE British Traveller.—
The French Ministry has communicated to the English Go-
vernment the Royal Ordonnance of April 29. The Ministry
added, that this measure had been long in contemplation.
Tai Jou four. DES DZBATS.—Mr. Lamb has just trans-
mined a Note to M. Salmon on account of the hostile atti-
tude assumed by the Spanish Army on the frontiers.
(From the Journal de Paris of Friday.)
Mannar., APRIL 30.—(Extracted from a private let-
ter.)—The day before yesterday it was reported, that the
Minister of Finance had ben replaced by the Ex-Director
Valladolid; but the tie;ys of this change is not confirmed.
To-day it is reporteja, that the War Minister is going to be
removed, and !'oat his successor will be General O'Donnel,
Governor of Algesiras.
The new Cireula: to the Authorities of the Kingdom
is now printing at the Royal Press, enjoining them to be
very vigilant, with respect to all persons coming from
Portugal.
Tile reasons for this circular (which I call new, because
it is the second of the kind) are, that our Police has re-
teived notice, false or true, that large sums have been sent
from Portugal to Spain to excite insurrection in our fron-
tier provinces, and to tempt the troops to desert.
With respect to desertion, that certainly takes place ;
but it is generally believed, that it is caused rather by the
want of money, and the difficulties to which the troops
are consequently exposed, than by any kind of seduction,

PARIS, MAY O.—DISIBANDINci or TEE NEAPOLITAN
NATIONAL GUARD.—TiII Mr, every one thought that
the disbanding of the. Natienal Guard of Paris was the re-
sult of an attack of rage by Ministerial vengeance ; per-
haps we shall be induced to believe that this strange
-measure Was not co spontaneous as we might imagine,
when we learn that on the 3d of April a similar measure
was adopted in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. This
would certainly not be the first tires that our Ministers,
called to the administration of a country where a Constitu-
tional Charter reigns, had adopted the errors of an absolute
Government.

[Here follows the Decree directing that the National
Guard should be disbanded, and its duties performed by
the Gendarmerie.]
This Decree bad been published for twenty--six day.,
when the Ordinance of the 29th April was framed at ?aiis.
M. Villele was likely to know of it. We kno7'., that the
Minister of Police in the Kingdom of Naples, who has
abolished the civil Neapolitan Guard, is devoted to M. Met.
ternich, and thus be ham acted in this affair according to
the inspiration of the Chief of the new European League.
Would it be very unreasonable to think that the President
of the Council bad yielded to the same influence, if we re-
member that when he demanded or advised the dissolution
of the National Guard be had jest arrived from Austria,
sinc,-4 he had dined that day with M. d'Apponi ? Are not
the old remains of the Holy Alliance the only persons who
'applaud the Ordinance of M. Corbiere, since it is hied
by honest men of all parties ?

PARIS, ill At 10.—The news N
;e receive from Madrid,
dated the 30th April, announcP
that the hostile position as-
sumed by the Spanish Ar.ny all along the frontier, has
caused a Note to be se it by Mr. Lamb, in which he re-
quires some explanation with respect to this proceeding,
and that 31* S'l.mon answered that they only took place in
consequence of the proceedings of the English and Portu-
guese Arr.,iies.
Ger.ral Sarsfield was sending courier after courier, an-
nouncing that the desertion continually increased, for want
of 'money to pay the troops.
The Portuguese Insurgent General, Silveira, who was
at Taro, was to leave that City for France at the beginning
of May.

PARIS, MAT 10.—Our Madrid Correspondent states,
that a serious contest has taken place between the Portu-
guese Refugees and the Constitutionals, in the quarter of
Orensa. The Spaniards interfered, and between 36 and
40 pritiouers were taken.
Letters from the Canaries announce an insurrection in
"he 7th Regiment (called Albuera), which lately arrived
from Ceuta. Twice they refused to obey the orders of
their Lieutenant-Colonel, Adjutant Pierson. The cause of
their mutiny is unknown. The companies have been
removed from one another, and placed under, the guard of
the Mil;*ia of the country; but before the Government
can be enabled to supply the place of this regiment by other
troops, a revolt may take place.
