BAYONNE, JUNE 10.

Such a very small numher of letters have arrived
to-Clay from Madrid, and those containing nothing of
the least importance, that we have nothing to cool-
*unicate but vague reports, on dies, more or less
probable, most of which are to-day favourable to the
Constitutionalists.
The 9th bulletin is so worded that it seems as if
our troops had passed through Astorga, to pursue to
some distance beyond it a column of the enemy,
whereas the fact is affirmed to be, that we passed at
a good distance from the cannon of the place, which
is well provided to maintain a siege, with a garrison
of 2,000 men.

If this is true, it must, like Pampeluna and St. Se-
bastian, employ part of our troops, besides a rear-
guard of 1000 men ; and seems to imply that there is
a considerable force in that part of the country, which
can be no other than that assembled by Palarea : on
di!, also, that Morillo is augmenting his force near
Ciudad Itod.igo. On all this a notion is founded
that the Asturias and Gallicia will soon be in the
Same situation as Catalonia.

The Pastor, to.), it is reported, has arrived «ith
his division near Orduila, where he intends to carry
on an active warfare upon the detachments and con-
voys, especially those which, like the one which left
this place yesterday, carry a million of ready money,
hich is indispensable to our army in Spain.
The accounts Oen by very recent letters from the
southern frontiers give Mina 800 men at Urgel, be-
sides 6000 more that have just gone to join him ; and
this great force is said to have excited consternation
in La Cerdagne,.southat the people are determined to
leave the country, taking with them their most valu-
able effects.

Another report is, that this has been a kind oflSth
of Ft uctidor at Seville: that forty of the Members of
the Cortes, who had been gained over by the Re-
gency, had been arrested by order of the rest of the
assembly, who will not listen to any proposals, and
who, to complete the number requited to vote le-
gally, have ordered all the provinces not occupied
by the French to nominate additional Members.

Letters from Santona affirm, that the Commander
of the squadron blockading the port has had the Cap-
tain of a Spanish vessel shot who attempted to enter,
and that the Governor of the place was on the point
of putting to death, in. return, a Military Intendant,
who, by some means or other, had fallen into his hands.
—On the other hand, it is reported that Ballasteros
has been taken, with 3,000 men, at Teruel; but we
must confess that we think we should have heard this
from Head-quarters if it had been true. The heavy
artillery continues to arrive, but it advances so slowly
that there does not seem to be any serious intention
of pressing the siege of the several fortresses.
Vessels laden with supplies for the army continue
to arrive here; two of them, laden with grain, arc
-repotted to be taken by Spanish privateers.

Letters from Bayonne are said to have been re-
ceived in the City this morning, stating that several
arrests had taken place at Bilboa, owing to the in-
formation obtained by intercepting a correspondence
carried on with some individuals in that city. A
strong cannonading had been heard at Bayonne from
the neighbourhood of St. Sebastian, whence it was
supposed th!►t the garrison had made a sortie.

His MAJESTY, we are happy to state, continues in
good health.
