• FROM THE QUOTIbIZENE.
The Liberal Journals assert, with a confidence
which might deceive some persons, that the French
territory has not been violated by the Spanish soldiers
f the Constitutional Army: We have received the
following details from our correspondent at Bayonne,
which set the question at rests—An armed column
entered the `commune of Aldudes on the 29th of De-
cember last ; it was composed of Spanish soldiers of
the Constitutional Army, .and revenue officers and
Militiamen of the valley of Bastan. The Quarter:.
master of the Gendarmerie endeavoured to lupul*
the band, but, as he bad only a very few men, his
efforts were Unavailing. The Mayor of Aldudes was
absent, and his.Depaty not: 064 erdtibited weakness
unworthy of a Public Functionary, bet fiimislted the,
leader of the Spanish detachMent with guides to sliest'.
him the most.secure road by which to return.
The Prefect of the LoweePyrenees having been in-
formed of these circumstances, issued the following,
Decree :
Whereas we have received information from the frontieno
by which it appears, that a detachment of the Spanish Cons&
tutioual Army, under arms, has t • sed, the French Comment
of Aldutics, and that it has been furnished with guides by the
Depot, Mayor of that Commune;
" Whereas this functionary has acted in contravention'of dig)
orders of the Government, directing the exputsion- trent tile
French territory of every armed band, withoue roper, to tine•
cause which it may support ;
"We decree-1. That M. Sarochandy, the Deputy Marro(
Aldudes, is provisionally suspended from the exercise of his
functions.
" S. That the Sub-Prefect of Mauleon, to whom the execu-
tion of the present Decree is confided, shall institute an inqUiry
into the events which have taken place. in Aldudes on the 29th
of December last. (Signed) " DESSOLE.

Tilk is not the first attempt which the Constitu-
tionalists have made. They presented themselves at
the same place on the night of the 28th of December,
but fearing that there was a superior force there, they,
retired. Their object in crossing this village was to
surprise that of Vakarlos, which contaioe,a hospital
appropriated to the reception of the wounded soldiers.
of the Army of the Fail). On the following morn-
ing, however, their enterprise was crowned with a
dreadful success. The Royalist Spaniards, who were,
without the means of defence, were not able to op-
pose the unexpected attack, and were almost all put
to the sword. Those who still possessed some little
strength, after having attempted to defend themselves,
fled into the French commune of Uhart, whose inha-
bitants have lavished every kind of attention and as-
sistance upon them.
FROM TIM CONSTITUTIONNEL.

In the first weeks of December, Sir W. A'Court,
English Minister at Madrid, was charged by his Go-
vernment to claim an indemnity in favour of English'
subjects for •the damages which they had .sustained
from pirates under the Spanish Hag. This indemnity,
claimed again on each new instance, was constantly
refused by the Spanish Government; and England,
without doubt, would have had, under ordinary cir-
cumstances, as much difficulty in obtaining her de-
mand, as she experienced in causing Austria to pay
the debt which the latter bad contracted, and to the
payment of which Austria opposed every year some
new delay ; but the policy of the Continental Powers
having put Spain to the necessity of finesse in treating
with those who remained attached to her, , England
expected this to produce the juncture most favourable
for displaying her pretensions, when she might insist
with more obstinacy upon their accomplishment as
the first and necessary condition of alliance...
It >vas embarrassing, doubtless, to the Spanish Mi-
rister to find himself compelled to accept conditions
which seemed hard, and which he bad at first re...
fused, both as to indemnities for the past, and gua-
rantees for the future, although the Minister wh.ortrees;
ceded him had engaged to grant everything.
guarantees were, as we announced more than three
months ago, the occupation of Cuba; and the Na-
tional Intelligencer, a Government Journal of the
United States, has held Out.this'occupatien on the
part of England as an event which was to be ex-
pected. After the refusal of the Minister San Miguel
to adhere to the demands of the English Minister,
the Litter announced that an order would be expe-
dited by his Court to seize the Spanish vessels, until
concurrence was obtained to the indelanity de-
manded ; and he intimated; that as everything seemed
to announce a rupture Kith' France, it became ling
land to pursue her own measures, however disad-
vantageous they might•tie for the credit of Spain.—
This measure occasioned the letter of M. Gasco, Mi-
nister of the Interior, to the Consuls; whom he in-
formed of the older; dispatched by the EngliSh Mi-
nister. The Spanish Minister always conceived that
these events, badly explained, nsie,bt cause it to be
believed that the commercial difficulties with Eng.
land extended further than,they really did, and that
his friends might, under that pretence, desert him.
However painlul it %%as to accede to demands which
did not appear .to be perfectly well flunded, it was'
arranged at last, and the orders of the Ambassador
for the seizure of the vessels was revoked, the gua-
rantees being in part accorded, insomuch that not the
least difficulty now remains as CD this secondary ub-
