The Ministers assembled yesterday (Friday) even-
ing, at the residence of the President of the Council.
The Duke of Belluno arrived at Bayonne on the
' 29th of March.
Moncey is to attack Mina as soon as the French
army.enters Spain.
Letters from St. Jean Pied-de-Port say, that Gen.
O'Donnell, Commander of the Royalist army of Na-
varre, having desired to put in the place of eight so-
. turier (persons not of the noldeue) officers of the divi-
sion of Santos Ladron, his son, and seven other Gen-
tlemen, they had not been able to get themselves ac-
knowledged—that a tumult had ensued, that they
bad been fired on, and that the son of Genetal,
O'Donnell and the rest had returned to Saint Jean
Pied-de-Port just as they had left it.
Saturday, Count Digeon, the successor or sub-'
stitute of Marshal Victor, proposed to the Chamber
of Deputies a prrdet of law for enabling the Govern-
ment to call out, in the present year, the contingent
of the annual conscription, which would otherwise
not be available until 1824. The number is not
stated ; but is, we believe, 40,000 men, the ordinary
levy of each year. The Minister says, in support of
his application, that " it is indispensably necessary to
create, at the commencement of a campaign, reserves
proportioned to the operations which are about to be
undertaken." It is pretty obvious that a war in
Spain has latterly presented more difficulties to the
imagination of the French crusaders than they had
at first anticipated.
MADRID, MARCH 25.

In the Sitting of the (lortts.on the 22d, the Presi•
dent announced that. the ordinary Session of the
Cortes was suspended, and that its Sittings would be
resumed at Seville on the 25th April, pursuant to a
resolution already taken by that Asssenibly.
Letters from Mach id of the 25th give but few de-
tails concerning the journey of Ferdinand.
Their Majesties and Highnesses arrived at Aran-
juez on the 19th, at eight in the evening, without ex-
periencing the least inconvenience to their health
from the journey. It appears, that afraid of being
annoyed by guerilla patties, the commander of the
escort made the journeys longer than was at first in-
tended. His Majesty has arrived at Sierra Morelia.
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
PA SU, ATM 2.
To the sinister reports in circulation on the °tea.-
. son of the Duc de Dellono's departure to the army,
• have succeeded news of a different description, which
for some time appeared to alarm some Royalists. It
ss as at first stated that the Doc de Belluno, on per-
ceiving fully the necessity of his proceeding to the
army with M. de Coetlo:quet, sail to the latter, on
• getting into his carriage, " my dear friend, we are
hoaxed," (nous sonnies mystifies). It was remarked
in reality that, two days alter, M. de Cant, who had
served utlder the Ministry of Gouvion St. Cyr, r.e-,
placed M. de Coetlosquet ; that M. Deltic the younger,
a Military Intendant, whose anterior conduct does
not seem to be irreptoachable, was invested with the
title of General Secretary ; that M. Parseval,

roughly disgusted, had I;een•obli,ned to give in his
resignation; and, finally, that Madame de Belluno
had been induced to quit the hotel of the Minister of
War. Some even went so far as to say that M. de
Villele had promised to M. de Diann and assured
Lim of the possession definitively of the portfolio, in
case that he would lend himself to all hitacts. In
addition, it was inferred from those facts that M. de
Villele wished to change his system; and by ap-
proaching the Left Centre, to balance himself between
the two parties, as M. Pasquier had done.
To explain this alteration in the conduct of the
President cf the COuncil, it was stated that fearing
ti.at the war in Spain, if it should be fortunate, would
give too great a preponderance to the Ministers who
supported it, he wished to form a sort of third party,
which would be useful as a counterpoise.
These are but rumours; but to the following facts
you may give implicit credit, for they are certain.
First, M. de Chateaubriand has declared to several
persons, that those alarms have no foundation, inas-
much as he was convinced that, far from thinking of
detaching themselves from the Royalists, the Ministry
wished more than ever to proceed in conformity with
them; and that if it were otherwise, he should in-
stantly give in his resignation, and that the changes
which had taken place in the War Department had
been agreed on with the Duc de Belluno at the time
Of his departure. We know that the Keeper of the
Seals has given the same assurance.
It is said that a woman was lately arrested at Ca-
lais,
charged with carrying on a secret correspond
ence, among which was found a letter written by M.
• Lafitte to Sir R. Wilson.—New Times.

When BONAPARTE was preparing to invade Spain,
TALLETRAND remonstrated against it as fraught with
difficulties. " No, no," said NAPOLEON, " the war
Keith Spain will be only a breakfast for
fear," replied the Minister," that your MAJESTY may
be long at table."
Accounts from Weimar of the 23d March state,
that GoETnE is now quite recovered. On the pre-
ceding evening his Torquato Tasso was performed in
the Court Theatre. At the beginning of the Play,
Mil. V. HEYDENDORP, in the character of Duchess
Leonora, on occasion of the Poet's recovery, crowned
his bust with laurel, which was highly applauded by
the crowded house.
The report. of great movements in the Russian
army is still circulated in Paris, and it is even stated
to be advancing by forced marches to the banks of;
the Oder ; but the titances of Russia are by no means
in a condition to enable her to bear the expenses of,
carrying on a war at a distance from her own fron-
tiers; for, as Lord BYRON observes—
.. Not without Abraham's seed can Russia march,
'Tb gold, not steel, that rears the conqueror's uch
