THE EVENING STAR.

LONDON.
TUESDAY, APRIL 1, 1823.
Esarta Tossniv.—Holiday at the Bank.
CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Both the Stock Exchange and the Bank are shut this morn-
ing, but, the Foreign !dirket is upon for business. In the early
part of the day some purchases were made of Spanish Bonds,
which opened at 291, 1,1, 1, to 1, at, which price they remain
steady up to this hour.
Current Prices:—Chilian 70, New Spanish 291, Old 35, New
Prussian 791, Old 82, Russian 711, Colombian 81.
Some few bargains have been made on 'Change in Consols, at
T4l, but very little is doing in any of the Funds.

It has been very erroneously stated by a contem-
porary, that application had been made to the Army
Surgeons with a view to ascertain the number of
these who were ready for service; with the intention,
obviously, that it should be inferred by the public',,
that something like military preparations are con.'
temphited by Government. We subjoin the official
document which has given rise to the report, from
which it will be seen that it is dated as far back as
the first of Docesesber last, and hap no reference to
any new posture of affairs. It is also false that " a
great way of the Medical-Attendants of the Army"
have in consequence of this document resigned ; only
two have tendered their resignations, and the appli•
cations for appointments are numerous :
Cutout...as. Army Medical Department, Dec. 1. 1822.

b Sia—That I may be enabled to ascertain the fitness of Mecii.
cal Officers for duty, in the event of their services being required,
you will be pleased to state the following particulars under the
different beads, .
lst. Your Age.

2d. The period you have acted on full pay in every branch of
the Public Service; and tho Stations where you bate served.
3d. The Disabilities or Ailments you may suffer from, if any
exist. I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
To Director General.

In the private intelligence from Paris, which wt
published yesterday, it was said, that the " reported
irruption of MINA into the French territory was not
credited in the best-informed quarters" in that capital.
The Paris Journals of Saturday, which have since
come to hand, and from which we have given ex-
tracts in another page, prove that the whole story is
a fable. The Courier Francais merely asserts, that
the Spanish Generals MINA and LEMMA arrived on
the extreme frontier on the 19th inst. and passed down
the line which separates the two countries. The Quo-'
tidienne pretends to know a great deal more a the
matter; for it adds, that MINA was not only accom-
panied by General LLoBERA, but also by Colonel
FABviatt ; and that this gronpe displayed *to the
French troops a tricoloured flag, and an Imperial
Eagle ; that FABVIER, moreover, had issued a Ma-
nifesto, declaring his intention to deliver France from
the presence of the BouRIMNS, but that these Bona-
partean demonstrations only excited contempt, &c•
We have no hesitation in pronouncing the whole of
this additional statement to be, on the face of it, an
impudent fabrication. Whatever designs FARMER
and his fellow-exiles may entertain against their na-
tive country, they must of necessity be accessory
only to those of Spain, the country which protects
them, and is willing to avail itself, in case of need,
of their assistance. If Spain is invaded by France,
it will then, according to all the usages of war, be
perfectly fair in the Spaniards to turn the tables, if
they can, upon their enemy, by sending an army into.
France under ahy standard which will tend most
to excite internal disturbance, and therebylesag her
means of external aggression: But no person' can

know well how much of the sympathy so generally

felt for their cause rests on the consideration that they
isee- disclaiined all intention' of interfering with the
Concerns of their neighbours; how mudl of it on the,
f;ct. as Lord LIVERPOOL declated, that hitherto no-
thing has been proved to have been done by them
„which ought to make the sincerity of that disclama-
tioo in the least doubted.

Do they not know too that all the other great Powers
of Europe are bound by treaty to resist the restora-
tion of the Imperial Eagle ? And can it then be
imagined that Spain, exhausted, distracted, and en-
feebled as she is, would offer to commence a crusade
which would arm so many Powers and Potentates
against her? The supposition is incredible; nor
need advices be waited for to pronounce the story on
Which it is founded necessarily false.
The effect for which it has been got up is obvious.
The Quolidienne of Paris, one of the organs of the
French Ultras, having invented the facts, it is thus
that the New Times of London, another equally busy
organ of the same party, turns them to account. " We
say the appearance of Colonel FARVIER, under these
circumstances, is very striking." "It now appears
that at that very period (the arrest of Mr. BowniNG)
communications were carried on between the Re-
volutionists of various countries in Spain and in Eng-
land, and that the common object of then: all was to
overturn the French Government, and to spread the
flame of Revaution throughout Earope."

Yes, yes—This is what the French Government
would have the world believe, in order that it may
not stand altogether without justification in its attack
on Spain, nor altogether without a chance of obtain-
ing the support of some of its old friends, should it
happen to have the worst of the encounter. But no
one seriously believes in any such conspiracy ; nor is
it possible any one can, while it is supported by such
absurd and palpable fictions as the one which we have
just exposed.
Whatever standard may be unfurled in Fiance, in
the case of her invading Spain, we know enough of
the designs of FABVIZR and his party to be convinced
that it will not be the Imperial. They know also, as
well as the Spaniards, how the PoSvers o 'Europe
stand pledged to combine against it, and if tbei move
at all, it will assuredly not be with that 'or ant other
such " Bonaparterm demonstrations:" •Bdurbon may
possibly be arrayed against Bourbon ; brit, is so nice a
family quarrel as that, it is to be hoped-that England
at least will have no occasion to interfere:.

Bayonne Papers to the 24th ultimo Nadia**
forenoon... They state that the Due d'ANGouLaus
was not expected there until the 31st ultimo (yester-
day). All the preparations to receive him were cocn-
plete; and it was believed that as soon as he arrived
the divisions of the vanguard of the Ist, 2d, and 3d
corps will enter the Peninsula by Irun, St. Jean. Pied
de Port, and Oleron.
Three Mails were due from Madrid, though letters
from Old Caulle had been received; and courieml
who gave the Royalists a gratuity were permitted to
pass without any obstacle.
Letters from Bilboa state that ZAIALA had nearly
got possession of tin,: town, by an intrigue with the
;;.habitants, but a heavy rain and the National Guard
forced the Royalists, who were about 800 strong, to
retire into the neighbouring villages. Several arrests
had taken place at Bilboa. It is stated that QUESADA
has seat orders to his troops to persist in a second at=
tack upon Bilboa, in order to make themsel►es mas-
ters of it before the French enter Spain

Colonel O'Dotorat. arrived, with 400 men of his
regiment, at Irun on the 19th ult. to watch the mo-
tions of the French army on the Bidassoa.

GODOSTIDI, the Royalist Chief, with 1000 men, is
at Goazueta, four leagues from that river, and re-
ceives all kinds of assistance.from General QUNIIADA,
who is still at St. Jean de Luz The Trappist, with
200 men, is raising recruits in Guipuscoa. General
O'Dowwar. it still at Valcarlos, where he is organizing
a. battalion of Royalists, while another of the Royal
Guard is forming at St. Jean Pied de Port. LONGA
is engaged in embarking military stores, &c. to pro-
ceed to the neighbourhood of*St. Ander, where he is
to form the right division of the Royal army.

The Constitutionalists still hold I.umbieres, a moun-
tain of Navarre. On the 18th, forty of their cavalry
attacked 150 Royalists, who were going to France,
sad cut them to pieces, not one having been able to
escape. The Constitutional Authorities continually
make requisitions of provisions, which are conveyed
to Pampeluna, St. Sebastian, Tofosa, Vittoria, and
Logrono; so that it may be affirmed that the French
will find but few resources in the provinces on their
side of the. Ebro.

At Carrickfergus also, on the 24g tilt a promo.
tion for riot took place before Baron -M4Clelland,
where the parties indicted appear to have been Cathe-
lies; but after the examination of several witeessei,
whose evidence•just went far enoughin prove de
impossibility of discovering which faction was the
aggressor, the Judge wisely stopped the further pre.
gress of the trial; and dismissed both Orangemen and
kibandists, with a just reproofvf that unnatural spirit
by which the banners of two communities, calling
themselves Christian, are made the incitements to
deVastakion and civil bloodshed:
This lamentable spirit, the great source of Ireland'
vim:, is the natural growth of the situation in which
that country has existed since the time of the first .
conquest; we locik to the 'present union of the tiro
countries, which haa'given to Ireland, what she never
had before, a Goiernment above the influence of the
contending parties, which-has no interest but to see
thent both nnited in promoting the 'general 'prosperity
as the only possible means of restoring her to tran-
quillity. For a greater part of the period since It..
land has had this advantage, our Getvernment was
engaged in so •ardtrous a contest as to have no tiny
to attend to domestic melioration. xt is because we
feel, as well as on other accountssthatour on this&
mastic concerns,•particularly the state of Ireland,de
mood the undivided attention of our Minister; the
we deprecate all attempts to hurry us into a war fal
the support of a foreign people,who do not stand moe
in need of our exertions in their favour, and have not
half so many claims on them, as out own countrymen.

It appears by other letters from the same place, that
no attack whatever had been made on Labatour,ihe
