FRO:I TIIE QUOTIDIENNE.

In a letter written from St. Jean Pied de Pprt, by
an officer who served several campaigns with Bona-
patte, the army, and especially the infantry, is said
to be in admirable condition, and animated by the
best spirit. The King has just increased the gratifi-
cation given on the opening of a campaign. The
Lieutenants and Sub-Lieutenants have 600 f. instead
of 400, the Captains 5.50 instead of 500, and so on
in proportion.

Construct or 13onantaux —The following interesting state-
ment of the Shipping of Bourdeax, now at .ea, and the value of
the cargoes, is contained in the Petition from that port lately
presented to the Chamber of Deputies,, with a cispy of which
we have been furnished.

" It is believed that Morino will command at Ma-
drid in the absence of the Count d'Abiabal ; how-
ever, I do not give you this news as. correct. He is
pressed to go and take the command in Galicia ; he
will accept it, although he at first said, that he
waited judgment on his conduct in • the affair of the
7th of July ; he is already putting everything on a
military footing, and he will not be long before he'
'unites 15,000 men, organised after his own manner.
There is an astonishing desire to be under the com-
mand of this General, all the old Officers are re-en-
tering the service. His Majesty blames M. Eguia
for not having forewarned him of the bad effect that
the dismissal of the Ministers would produce, at the
moment when he was sent to endeavour to counter-
sign the order of their recall. But the King having
been deceived by Bertrand de Lys, whose intrigues
were connected with the enemy, was not in a state to
hear a Minister, who of all others would have had
the confidence to plead his cause by making repre-
sentations on a measure which the King had adopted."
