BAYONNE, MIRY 29.

The letters brought by the army courier from Ma-
drid not being yet delivered, we can only speak of
the reports circulated here. Opinions are very much
divided respecting the Council of Castile, convoked
by the Duke of Angouleme. Some persons who are
well acquainted with almost all the Ministers of that
Council think that scarcely a fourth part of them will
comply with the Prince's invitation, who, however,
will supply their places by other persons, friends of
the ancient system. It is thought that the decrees of
this Junta cannot have the force of laws, unless they
are supported by the French laws. •
A report is current here, that it is not intended to
confine to Spain the advantages of a new 'Govern-
ment, but that Portugal is to participate in them: in
support of this nQtion, it is affirmed that the Patriarch
of Lisbon, who has long resided here, is going to
leave us, to preside in the PoquituesrJunta, which will II
meet first at Valladolid. We can say nothing'to this
news, except that yesterday we saw the above-men.
tioned Prelate pay unusual visits, which are said to
hive been for the purpose of taking leave.
Since yesterday reports have been circulated, af-
firming that (aen. Donnadieu was completely beater),

by Mina on the 19th, and afterward, taken prisol;er
at Vich, and that General Cuiixl had been defeate,l
in four successive engagements, which took place up
to the 23d. If this were true the situation if Marshal
Moncey would certainly be critical, and the left v,
of our army much exposed. The centre and right
wing would then be in a position rather hazaidour,
advanced as they are into the country, especially if
va
is positively affirmed, the corps of the Pastor, which is
in the Asturias, 'and that of Campanilla in the environs
of Santander, unite to attack Vittoria, and occupy,
with the ten thousand men that compose them, de
important defiles of Salinas ; sivhile Gen. !gorilla,
with the army of Gallicia and the Foreign Legice
from England, landed at Corunna, would attack the
first corps in flank, as far as Madrid, the farther or,
cupation of which would then be very hazardous.
This part of the plan is said to originate with Str
Robert IVilson, who will serve only as a volunteer,
and with a French Genet al Officer, now in exik,ela
appears only in the Council. Should it •be carried
into effect, and our army find it necessary to roil
from Madrid, it must be towards Arragon (than,
if the Spaniards occupy Salinas), and then it airy
take up a position on• the left of the Ebro, and s 6
head-quarters be fixed at Saragossa. Then, perhaps,
it may be thought proper seriously to Ness the siege
of Parnpeluna, St. Seirastian, and Santora; which
have hitherto been so incompletely blockaded, that
the garrisons continue to obtain supplies, which
enable them to make a longer resistance when they
are attacked in form. Thus, say the advocates cf
the Spanish Cortes, the war is nat finished, but the
resistance announced by the Speni.ll Ministers
, now begin.

The Captain of a vessel who left St. Andero co
Sunday, reports, that there were no French troops
there, nor any of the Army of- the Faith; that the I
remains of the latter had been collected by Loop,
and led by him before Santona. The town is for tke
present left to itself, all the Civil and Military Ag.
thorities of the two parties having left, for fear ofre•
action ; the place, however, is tranquil.

An English vessel entered St. Sebastian the day
before yesterday, the French squadron cruizing be•
fore that port not thinking proper to insalt the
British flag.
A person who has come from the environs of Pam.
peluna says, that on Friday a salute of 101 canoe
was fired there, which should seem to announce some
great rejoicing. We do not know what may hare
been the occasion, unless they had received news ti
the reported victory of Mina on the 19th.
The Guerilla of Chapallengarra daily becomes
stronger. It has been for some days in the Rona;
where it is supposed that it will act for the future. d
considerable number of caissons with provisions ban
been sent to the army. The workmen are still ray
actively engaged in the palisading of our place, are
repairing the walls, which have been neglected fit
a long time.

Brussels Papers to the 3d inst. Mitch Papers ore
day later, and the flainhurgh Correspondent to the
31st ult. reached us this forenoon. The negociatico
between Persia and Turkey, is said to be at aces!,
and that the former Power is preparing to commence
active hostilities.
