Wednesday, Twelve o'clock at night.
A report was in circulation upon 'Change to-day, that a telegraphic
despatch had announced to the Government that the liberating column
under the command of Colonel Valdes, which had penetrated the
Spanish territory was completely defeated. This unfortunate news ap.
peared to us, confirmed from so many quarters, that we had written
some observations upon the probability of its certainty ; but we hasten
to suppress these remarks, in order to announce to our readers that, up
to five o'clock in the evening the Minister of War hail no information
on the subject, nor did the telegraphic despatches received this day from
Bayonne and Bordeaux contain a single iota which related to the sup-
posed defeat of the Constitutionalists. Oa the contrary, those persons
who arrived yesterday state that the liberators met with the most fa.
vourable reception in every part of their native land.

(Private Correspondence,)—Our village has become the rendezvous'
of the Spanish refugees. Those individuals, driven from their country
by the persecutions of the Count d'Espagne, have come to seek an way.
lum in France. Their principal point of meeting is at Perpignan, from
whence they proceed to the most distant parts of the department. The
conduct of the Refugees is in general alm and moderate, and they are
well received in this place where there exists great sympathy for their

The theatre at Bordeaux is almost entirely deserted in consequence
of the financial crisis which spreads distress and misery amongst all
elastics of society. By an Ordinance of the 20th inst. a special Profes-
sorbhip of Foreign Literature had been established in Paris, and the
Professor in this department will have similar advantages to those en.
joyed by the other members of the faculty.

A telegraphic despatch, sent to the Government by the Prefect of the
North, on the 19th states,

The Belgians occupy Antwerp. All Belgium is now free from the

From the Monikur of Thursday.
Last Sunday, at the time of the grand review at Versailles, the num.
bee of flags being found insufficient, at the moment that the turn came
to the National Guard of Meudon, this guatd obtained permission to
come and procure its flag itself, at the Palais Royal. it came this
morning at noon, preceded by its band, and drew up under the windows
of the King. His Majesty descended, accompanied by his two elder
sons, and by General Lafayette, he himself presented the flag, and the
battalion defiled before him. The King pronounced," on this occasion,
some of those words whickimpress themselves so deeply on thethearts
of those who hear them ; and the troops and spectators replied with the
most lively acclamations.
After the disturbance of Monday night, 150 individuals were arrested
atld conducted to the Prefecture of the Police. Forty.seven have al-
ready been beim the Proeureur of the King. The Interrogatories arc
being completed.

the Chamber will be occupied, render it desirable that the recess should
be as short as possible. Of the 140 elections, 120 will take place on
the 21st and 28th of October. They will thus be terminated by the

The Amstrian Observer, of the 12th, received by an extraordinary
conveyance, contains the following article :

" VIENNA, OCT. 11.
Reports have been lately spread to induce the least informed of the
public to believe the danger of a war, not only to be inevitable, but also
near. We know from a good source that these reports have only been
invented to injure particular speculations, and we are authorised to de-
clue, In the most formal manner, that they only rest upon false sup-
pa:Woos, and can in no manner be justified, or even occasioned, by
the measures adopted by our Government."

There is much talk, at the Exchange, of a telegraphic despatch.
•cnt from Bayonne by the Sub-Prefect, announcing in substance,
t.hit the corps of General Valdes, amounting to eight hundred, or
'M) men, had been surprised and completely defeated, SO only having
,caped to take refuge in France. It is probable that there is some ex-
aggeration in this account, and that it has been got up to favour some
speculations in the public funds. It is not impossible, after the late
events at Bayonne, that the Sub-Prefect would not be favourably dis-
posed towards the Constitutionalists, and that he may have received too
credulously the first vague rumours which came to the frontiers.
The truth appears to be, that on the 16th Valdes occupied the vil-
lages of Uniache and Zugarramundi. Eight hundred royalist troops
were tour leagues distant, and made no offensive movement. On she
17th, a skirmish took place between Valdez and the royalist troops t
about 30 of the Constitutionalists fled to the French territory, which
they soon quitted, to rejoin their companions at Zugarramundi.
The hostile conduct of the Marquis de St. Priest towards his country
hail received a recompense at the Court of Ferdinand. This Prince has
heaped honours and pensions upon the Ambassador, who was unwilling
to mount the national cockade. He has conferred upon him a peersgey
with the tide of Duke D'Alniazan ; and, notwithstanding the penury e
his Treasury, he has given bin, a pension of 6,000 piastres (30,000 ft.)
and a command, 6,000 seals in value (nearly 15,000 francs.)

PARIS, TRIIIILIDAT, OCT. 21.
Tranquillity has been restored, and ceoftdence is returning ; but the,
crisis is but postponed. After effecting the Revolution of July lots the,
people mired from the scene, leaving the subsequent to a I
those whom they deemed more competent to the task. to bane
that manceuvre and trick were about to be used to screen from justice
the Masters who had signed the ordonnances which had provoked the

Rev°lutioc, the same men re-appealed es. rtionday night last, and
proved unequivocally that they were as capable of a new effort as on the
evening of the 27th of July. Persuaded that there wail no intention to
cheat justice of its victims, they once more retired.
Having been an eye witness of the whole of the transactions, I can
aver that the persons held in check by the immense military
,force or.
?sued at the Palace Royal dorinj the lust two nights were net the
men of whom I have abort spoken, and who ejtcled the Revel Niurt.
The French Government must take cute to keep good faith with the
people. No cause for doubting their sincerity must be arorded by
meters. lam sure they are frank and single-minded, but they must not
only be pure, but unsuspected. It their purity and impartiality shall
remain unquestioned—if the confidence of the people be once c.ore re-
posed in them, I shall still rely on the justice, perhaps the magnanimity,
of the men of the 27th, 28th, and 29th of July ; but if the slightest sp.,
pearance of shuffling be perceived or imagined about them, 1 shall ap.
prehend much worse than the immolation of four victims.
While I state that the men of the Faubourgs have nut appeared at the
Palais Royal since Monday night last, I cannot suppress the facts that
assemblages of the people took place in the Faubuurg St. Antoine last
night ' • that, instead of dispersing when called upon to do so by a patrol
of the National Guard, they surrounded the latter, and would have dis-
armed them, but for the opportune arrival of another body cf Natiancl
Guards. You may expect, from time to time, to hear that emissaries
of the disaffected succeed in producing temporary or local excitement ;
but you may rely upon it the mass of the people arc disposed to wait
the issue of the trial. What the issue they contemplate is you may
conceive.

From this very unpleasant topic I turn to one not lesshiainful—the
slaughter of the Spaniards and Parisians who entered Spain last week.
and which was announced yesterday evening by the Messager des
Chanthres. The accounts of this disaster rest, It is said, on a des.
patch received by M. Aguado. Hopes are entertained that it is inc. Jr.
rcet ; at least that the extent of the misfortune is exaggerated. On ge-
m.ral principles the Parisians would lament the discomfiture and de-
struction of men seeking to free their country ; but they would have
also peculiar and private reasons for sorrow, should this melancholy in.
telligence be confirmed. A considerable number of Parisian students.
who had fought so gloriously and so successfully in the cause of liberty
in Paris, having, at their own expense, proceeded to the confines of
Spain, to join the brave Spanish Refugees, entered with them, a•,d
litive, it is reported, been cut WI to a man.
The news from Iklgium is of a cheering description. The King's
Speech, on opening Parliament, will, it is expected, be still more WM.
factory to France. There arc in progress ver/ large speculations, for a
rise is expected to take place in the French k unds on receipt of that do-
cument, and which we shall have this day week. It is quite evident
that one obstacle in the way of a good understanding between the two
Governments, is about to be removed, by the withdrawal of the prin.
cipal part of the French army from Algiers. The unequivocal declara-
tion of France, that she seeks not to retain her Atrican conquests
will, it is believed here, form a striking paragraph in the forthcoming
Speech of William IV. but other circumstances may arise to defeat those
hupes.

" Bourse, Three o'cbck.
The Funds have opened, and up to this time remain at prices below
those of yesterday, owing, as is said on Change, to the large sales made
by English proprietors, who, having taken alarm at the proceedings of,
the people in the early part of the week, arc about to return home.
Every thing rental/is perfectly tranquil up to this moment, and will I
remain so for yet many days. Tha military force employed at the
Palais Royal will not be diminished. Last night I thought it was
more considerable than on any preceding one, although without any
apparent reason. Vast crowds were present ; but nothing like distur-
bance occurred. The 31st regiment reinforced the National Guards,
and remained during the most part of the night.
Bourse, Four o'clock.
The depression above noticed continued up to the termination of
business, owing tr various circumstances, one of which Is the fall on
your Exchange, which had been, no doubt, partially produced by
the events in Paris. The news from Luxembourg, too, is looked
upon as alarming.
The transfer of the ex-Ministers from the Castle of Vincennes to the
Petit Palais du Luxembourg (announced to take place this day) has
bad its influence too.
