cater, at least, reluctance on the part of Primo te

begin the contest.
This delay is of great importance, whether occa-
sioned by the circumstance that an army cannot Oast
the Pyrenees until more congenial weather, or by
the powerful interference of this country. In the in-
terim, the irritated feelings both in France and Spain,
may subside, and lead to that most desirable object,
Peace. We understand the.above information came
from the Duke DE Guinn's, Aid•de-Camp to the
Duke D'ANGOULEUE, to a person of high rank in this
country.

To a question from Mt—Elnountutst last night in
the House of Commons, Sir Geottoa CLERK replied,
that the Admiralty had received no information of
the Brest fleet being at sea.

On Iklonday next, also, the Marquis of LANiDOVIN
`is to put some questions to Lord LvrEftroot. as to the
state of our foreign relations, which promise to re-
lieve us from our present uncertaiuty as to the con-
tinuance of peace.

" Bayonne Papers have arrived this morning. The
following are extracts:
BAYthiNE, FEBRUARY 13.

In St. Sebastian, 9.500 troops of the line arrived on
the 10th ; another division, of equal force, was ex-
pected in a few days.
The Spanish frigate Arethusa arrived at Passage
on the 9th, from Cadiz, having on board fifty piece's
of cannon, and a considerable quantity of warlike
stores and ammunition.

We expect troopi to the number of 9084 men, who
ate to be at Bayonne by the IGth of next month.
We learn from Madrid, of the sth inst. that the
Government has given indirect orders to close the
Landabnrian.Club ; in fact, there ha% been no meet-
ing since the 3d. AB well disposed Spaniards highly
approve of thi% measute.

From the want of resources at home, and cre-
dit abroad, the qinr.erhMent is embarrassed how
to meet its extraordinary expenses. All hopes
and all eyes are fixed on England. The new levies
have been made with astonishing facility, but the
conscripts are in the depots without clothing and
without shoes.
This Want of resources increases the uneasiness of
the t icher classes, w ho fear lest the Government should
be obliged to have recourse to extraordinary coati-
butions..
The retort of the removal of the Royal Family, of
the Cortes, and the Government, to Cadiz or Badajos
has.made a deep impression at Court. It is believed
that this measure will certalnly- take place. f Cadiz
offers the Government a very secure asylum, but
Badajos has the advantage of enabling it to
keep up a copstant communication with Portugal
The activity of the Ministers is extreme.
Up to the Ist the Government had not granted
any letters of marque to the many persons who have
applied for (hem.
