We have received the following intelligence from
Bayonne:

BAYONNE., JULY 23.

Now that it has been at length determined to com-
mence the siege of Nervelona, it seems it will be
pushed in the most rigorous manner. The besieging
army will be about 15 or 16,000 men. Meantime
the garrison makes frequent sallies, in which it is
often successful. However vigorously the siege may
be carried on, and however successful the operations
may be, it must be expected that they will employ
the whole of the second Army of Reserve for at least
two months. The guerillas continue to form them-
selves, though very slowly ; it is true they are chiefly
composed of persons whom the measures of the Re-
gency have little expectation of reconciliation. If the
war is protracted, there is no doubt but the rabble of
the Faith will also form bands to revenge themselves
on all parties, for having been refused permission to
plunder the Constitutionalists. The Regency has
not ventured, and has even refused, to re-establish the
ancient privileges of the frontier provinces, which be-
gin to complain that they do not derive the advantage
which they expected from destroying the Constitu-
tional system. The Regency has likewise failed in
procuring the troops which it expected easily to col-
lect ; some have indeed presented themselves, but
they all pretend to be Officers, and require to be em-
ployed as such : the Regency has been obliged •40
dismiss them. Some vessels are fitting out in this
port, which are to have both sails and oars, and to
have one swivel ; they are to cruize along the coast,'
especially near Santona. Some of the vessels lately
built will be speedily armed and equipped for the
I same purpose.
Letters from Saragossa speak of various sallies
made by the Constitutional Garrison in Catalonia.
We have no news from Valencia or Murcia, nor of
the movements of General Molitor, or of Ballaste-
ros ; the latter is certainly in Andalusia. We learn
that Montilla, who was reported to have been killed by
his own brother-in-law, had re-appeared at the head
of a numerous guerilla.
It is affirmed that the Empecinado has sent word
to the Duke of Angonleme, that the infamous man-
ner in which his brother had been treated, had made
him determine to use reprisals, and immediately to
shoot all the pi isoners that he shall take. A Consti-
tutional Corps has entered Gexefe—it put to the
sword all the Royalists and soldiers of Quesada, who
were in depot there. News from the environs of Co-
runna say, that the affair which took place before
that town, which is not taken, was so warm that we
lost eight hundred men.

THE FUNDS.

STOCK EXCII AN GE. TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Consols opened this morning at 81k, and got up to;, 82, at
which price they remain steady. An Express from Paris brings
the French Funds of Saturday at 91f. 90c. French Scrip 11 pre.
Spanish 36k. The rise in. the French Funds is attributed to two
causes—a supposed negociation to be carried on at Cadiz ; and
the purchase, by the House of Messrs. ROTHSCHILD in Paris, of
two millions and a half of French Itentes. This intelligence
has made the English Market' brisk, and a considerable deal of
business has been done this morning, particularly in Consols.
