" livery account from the South of France states
the strong feeling which there prevails. Even La
Vendee, that counti y Which *shed its noblest 'blood for
the Bourbons, when' the, tricoloured banner waved
over every other department, now conceives its exec.-
lions repaid with ingratitude. M. Manuel was the
'Deputy of, La Vendee, and although many of the in-
habitants differed with him in politics, yet all agree
in condemning his expulsion. The war is decidedly
unpopular the South of. France;-and strong proofs
of the popular feeling have been manifested at Bour-
deaux, Marseilles; and: Lyon&
", The Papers of yesterday. will inform you of the
arrest of three individuals who were travelling in the
Bourdeaux Diligence. The circumstances attending
it are endeavoured to be concealed, bdt I have learnt
on authority, on which I can rely, that they are Offi
cers ofdistinction, who were charged with a mission
to Spain, wry different from 'that of. making war
apotfir. Indeed the war is more: likely to commence
on the French tharion the Spanish Side ache Pyrenees. •
—Upwerdsof three thousitad French and Italian re-
fugees are concentrated in the neighbourhood of
Vittoria, who are said to have an intention of invading
France in the .name of the DukeirfOrieans. They
calculate on being joined by is large 'portion of.the(
French troops destined for the invasion of Spain, and
especially .by the Non-commissioned Officer% wk?.,

" A thousand reports stein) clrcelatiOn on the sub-
ject, all 'of which holiver agree as to the defection
of the French army. A Co.ifs piracy is' said to hive
been very opportunely detected, which would have
transferred a large portion of that army from the
command of the Duc d'Augouleme. Several officers,
some of them of the highest rank, are mentioned as
being implicated in this plot; the object of which was
to overturn the present Government.
" It is now much doubted that the Duo d'Angou-
leme will proceed to the army, or at least that he
will assume the Command, which is expected to de-
volve on Marshal Victor, who has left Paris in great
haste for the army. The portefeuille of the Marshal,
as Minister at War, has been given to General Digeon,
an Officer of no talent or military reputation what-
ever, and whose only recommendation to the Office
is that of being an eitreme Ultra.
66 The French Government, which is perpetually
meddling with the Funds, has done all it could
to prevent the-depression which the news from the
South of France was so calculated to incite; but still
the Funds have fallen more• than one half per cent.
The five per cents. which on Saturday were at 78 F.

To-day we are enabled to lay befOre our Readers
a . more detailed account of the progress of events in
Madrid, than the shortness of the time allowed us
yesterday to communicate. The accounts from that
capital come down to the 18th instant. In another
part of our Paper we have given the'Report made on
the 13(h, by the Conimission appointed by the Cortes
to examine into the state of the turo's health. To
postpone as long as possible his departure from Ma-
drid, the KING-had been advised to procure the opi-
nion of a Council. of Physicians, convoked, *by hit pr-
der, who agreed in saying, " that the state of. his
health would not permit bun to 'undertake the jour-
ney." On this opinion being communicated to the
Cortes, they appointed a Com Mission of nine Mem-
bers, six of whom were medical men, to examine
the state of the KIWI health, and report thereon,-4.
