BAYONNE, JULY Sto.

We have received letters from Madrid to the 25th.
They contain long and new 'particulars of_the fire
which took place, and of the measures adopted by
the Regency to discover the authors; it was very
fortmate that the wind was not high, otherwise the
fire would hhve been still more fatal;. as it is, the da
mage is estimated at between three and 400,000 francs.
—The Regency continues to issue Decrees which are
not very conciliatory. It has just ordered all re-
fugees at Madrid, even certain Ecclesiastics, to leave
that city within 48 hours. Notwithstanding its invi-
tation to form corps of Royal Volunteers, only six-
teen men have yet offered themselves, and those be-
long to the public offices. The Pope's Nuncio arrived
at Madrid on the 24th. It may be apprehended that
the arrival of such an Ambassador will tend still far-
ther to strengthen the party of the Priests. The ma-
nolos (rabble of Madrid) 'lave addressed a Petition to
the Prince;. it is signed by $OOO of them, who com-
plain that the French gensdarmes hinder them from
meeting in the streets, as they were used to do, to
take part, as they say, in affairs which interest the
King and the Regency.
The real motive of the petitioners is, that they are
hindered from arresting, and conducting before the
Tribunals, the Liberals whodisple.rse them : happily
the Prince has a just sense of the nature of the wish,
and of the fatal consequences which would arise front
complying with it. •
Nothing was said at Madrid of the departure* of
the Prince for Seville, with almost all the garrison,
though it was well known that ht was to set out yes-
terday (the 28th). The reasons of his resolution are
not yet known ; the troops that will leave Madrid are
about four thousand men, which is not so- consider-
able an addition to the force of Generals Bonrdesoulle
and Bourmont as will enable them to attempt any
thing extraordinary.
It is reported, but by no means certain, that the
Prince is going to Cadiz—that is to say, to the neigh-
bourhood, to confer with an English diplomatic
character, with a view to make an arrangement
which shall be agreeable to all parties : such an at
is, we fear, impossible ; and the Cottes'
`she
not accede to any. Another reason assigned for
Prince's departure is, the necessity of taking pos-
session of the defiles of the Sierra Morena before Bal.
lasteros occupies them.

Wagers are laid here, that if the Prince quits Ma-
drid, it will be to return to France; and, in confir-
mation Of this, a report is circulated that Marshal
ILauriston is going to fix his head-quarters at Madrid,
aad that the troops of the sth corps will accompany
lb. Marshal to Madrid, and the siege of Pampelitnal
lie eferred.
A letter from Madrid, brought by express,
.posi7
tively antes the departure of the Princes, and of the:

whole of the head-quatters, the Bureaus, 8c9.. on th
28th, early in the morning ; but there are some who
maintain that he will embark at Seville, ga on board
a French frigate at the mouth of the Guadadquiver,
and come to Rochefort, where the Princess will re-
ceive him.

We find, by letten fmm Galicia, that our troops
have entered Ferrol and Ribaldeos without resistance,
but not*Corumia, where the Constitutionalists seem
determined to defend themselves.
