to examine, and by a reps rt or declaration under their.
hands and seals, to designate " that portion of the
boundary of-the United States from the point where

We have received the French Papers of Monday.
They contain a mass of intelligence from Spain,
though not of a later date than what we gave yester-
day from the Madrid Papers. One of the French
Journals, however, pretends that an extraordinary
courier had arrived, who left Madrid on the 28th
ultimo, and that at that time the city was perfectly
tranquil ; and that no change had taken place in the
Ministry. The Journalist, however, quite forgets the
Madrid Papers of the 25th, which gives the names
of some of the new Ministers. These Papers contain
long details of the insurrectionary movements of the
" Army of the Faith" in the Spanish provinces.

At Murcia, the Political Chief and Intendant de-
serted their post, at the first report of the events at
Madrid of the 30th of June. The inhabitants, aban-
doned by their First Magistrates, did not hesitate to
take up a position suited to the circumstances, and
to preserve the public order.
At Oriheula, in the same province, an insurrection
broke out. At that instant the Volunteer Militia,
both horse and foot, of the garrison of Murcia, put
themselves in motion to march against the factious.
General PEAR, the superior Commandant of the pro-
vince, hesitated at first to put himself at the head of
the column. He yielded at last to public opinion,
and marched in front, but, having arrived in view of
the factious, placed on an eminence, he made strange
dispositions that evidently shewed be meant to favour
the rebels. Colonel D. PEDRO MUNRO, an excellent
soldier and a great friend to liberty, put himself at
the head of the Patriots, and, in a few hours, dis-
persed the factious and gained a complete victory.
One of the Madrid Papers contains the following
article:-
0 It has been resolved by his Majesty,

" First. That the country which forms the seventh Military
District, shall be declared in a state of war, and consequently
