Guilleminot's dispatch was.addressoreillarshal
the Duke-of Bellows, Minister of War. It bore the
following preface:—“ His Royal Highness, by order
of his Majesty, desire the to transmit to your Ee-
cellericy the following dispatch." This, of course,
was not read to the Chambers.
ST. JEAN DE LIZ. APRIL 7.

One hundred and fifty or two hundred French and
Spaniards presented themselves to-day. with a tri-
colored flag, on the Spanish side of the Bidassoa.
The 9th Regiment of Light Infuntry, with General
"%Valhi at its head, were ou that side.. The General
ordered three cannon shots to be fired on this body-
Fifteen of them were killed or wounded. Among
the former are four French Officers, or persons who
had fled from justice. The troops wished to cross
the river on foot, and to pursue the enemy, who im-
mediately fled.

The Bidassoa was crossed on thelth, and the Duke
d'Angouleme sleeps on the Bth at Iron.

De La.motte, formerly a Captain in the Legion of
The Seine, and implicated in the plot of the 19:h of
August, 1820, is seriously wounded in this affair._
lie had been condemned to five years' imprisonment
and 2000 francs of fine.
The army marches in three divisions—one upon
Tolosa, direct. for Madrid; one upon Fampeluna
and another upon St. Sebastian.
The regiment Alexander, in garrison at Irun, eva-
cuated that town on the approach of the French.

We •are enabled to add to the preceding accounts
some important articles of intelligence contained in
the Paris papers of Wednesday and Thursday ; the
latter of which we have received by express.

Thefiddiiy of the French troops, as our Readers
will have particularly remarked, is greatly boasted
of, both in the dispatches flout the army and in the
communication by the Fm cock Ministers to the two
Chambers. The only proof we see of it is that three
artillerymen flied three great guns at the word of
c nnmaod ; but theme is a fact ;ninon:lced in the Qtto-
tiiliexszc, an Ultra Government Journal, which we
think may be fairly matched against this wonderful
instance of devotion. It is contained in a letter, dated
B-tyonne, March 31, amid is literally is follows:
• 4. Alarm was fur a moment spread last night. The report of
the cannon, and time beating of the ge:Arree, called the troops of
t!le garrison under arms. The fire had communicated to the
clothing magazines. liVitimin two hours the conflagration was
suppresser!. This morning two Cuptainsjpur sub-eTuers, and se-
veral addicts of dprent corps, were arrested, and brought before
the Govern( r. limo Captains are accused of being the per-
ritraturs of this deed."
It is worthy of remark too, that though this event
happened on the night of the 30th, and though Bay-
oane Papers to the 3:1, have before this reached Lon-
don, not • one word had found its way into them of
this conflagration of the Magazines, and arrest of
Captains, Subalterns, and loUtliers. The temporary
stispression of such. intelligence, for suppressed it
must have been, is a proof that it was regarded as of
no ordinary importance.
The Portugnese Ambassador is said to have left
Paris, having received an order from his Government
to ask fur his passports as soon as the French should
declare war against Spain.
We gave an account, some days ago, of a tumult
at Brest, between the inhabitants anti the Swiss- sol-
diers. :Me Mayor took part with the inhabitants,
and blamed the Swiss for injuring, as he said, instead
of protecting the people: •The Monitor,- of Thursday
contains a Royal Ordonnance dismissing the Mayor bf
Brest from his office; on account of the proclamation,
in which he attacked the conduct of the Swiss Guard:
—lt appears that on time arrival of the new Prefect,
the Marquess de Fontsta, of the department at
Brest, he blamed the Mayor for the proclaoation,
and even proposed to that Magistrate to'retract it by
a second, and on his refesal required him to reaigh.
The Mayor declared that he would not resign ; that
he would wait for his disiniasal by superior authority,
in whose justice- he ,fully confided, since his senti-
ments for the Monarchy could not be suspected; that
he conceited he had performed his duty in corning
forward to protect his fellow-citizens. The Prefect
then issued a proclamation in which he censures the
Mayor, and bids the inhabitants rely on the protec-
tion of the soldier s.
Letters from Perpignan, quoted in the Constitu•
siennel, state, that Saguntum, the fort of Mai vied:o,
had been retaken by the Constitutionalists.

It is said to be the intention of the Spanili Govern-
ment to form a corps, under the name of the Anal-
liary European Force, which is to be commanded by-
one of our countrymen, a man of known velour and
experience. Fifteen thousand stand of arms, and
equipment for ten thousand men, are to be immedi-
ately collected, the expense of which will amount, it
supposed,'to between I:50,000 and L7'0,000, which
sum it is proposed to raise by subscription. The'
!honey will be placed in thetands of ,a Committee,
deserving of the highest confidence. The particulars
of the plan which is in contemplation will be regu-
larly announced in a few days.

The Spanish plan of campaign, which we noticed
yesterday, was adopted on the first alarm of the in-
•asion. It was then resolved, that the enemy should
be encouraged to advance into the heart of the coun-
try, while the Spanish armies assembled near the
frot#tiers were to form in his rear. MINA, according
to an official Report made to the Cortes more than two
months ago, had thirty-five thousand men under
his orders ; and we may take it for granted, that
his force since then has suffered no diminution.—
His troops-are tried men, and veterans in point of ser-
vice. The whole force under arms at the time was
computed at more than one hundred thousand men ;
and two levies of 50,000 men each have been since
decreed. Every district equips and arms its quota ;
and the imposts are sternly applied to this purpose.
We may suppose that the duty is rigidly executed,
