BAYONNE, MAY 1.

We have but little news here that is at all interest-
The Gerdes du Corps left us yesterday, and
appears that their eagerness for war has been rather
diminished since they have learnt a little about the
cor.ntry where it is to be carried on. We now see
every day persons who come from the army, and who
can give us a true account of what is passing there.
—lt cannot be denied that we advance, since the
head-quarters of the Duke of Reggio have been. at
Burgos, and his advanced posts at Aranda, for some
days: but this can hardly be called a conquest, where
there is no enemy to vanquish, since he seems tend-,
nually tally before, as if it were his intention to draw
. the anny to the ground which he has chosen to fight
upon. This makes the soldiers march with thegreatest
prectaption, expecting every moment to be attacked.,)
Meantime the head-quarters remain at Vittoria, and
the Prince does not seem to be so convinced as he was
at first, of the facility of a conquest by the assistance
of the population, which gives him no succour.
The Army of the Faith has notincreased as it was
expected to do, nor have the Constitutiopal troops de-
serted their colours. The administration of the sere-
-rat departments of the service in our army are still

far from being organized

Forty.three vessels laden voth grain, lay, .&c..• for
the army, arrived in our port the day before jester-
day. It is said, that the soldiers wounded before
St. Sebastian's and at Logrono, ate going to be
sent to our city. Persons who have seen them, pre-
tend that. there is a pretty considerable number of
them at Vittoria, 400 at least belonging to the 24. th
regiment. We have learnt to-day, in a manner
nearly official, that Colonel Muller has died of his
wounds: We have not received the two last bulletins,
(those relative to theoccupation of Burgos and Jaca.)
We are assured that the troops that were at Jaca
haVe joined Ballasteros, who has had a pretty smart
action on the Ebro-with the rear-guard of General
Molitor. The first Guerilla party has appeared near
Salvias, -end has taken part of a convoy of military
effects, on it way to the army. We have just received
certain news, that the Portuguese General Rego has
entered Spain, with 0000 infantry and 2400" cavalry.

Hamburgh Paptrs to the 3d instant, Dutch Papers
to the 7th, and Brussels Papers of the same date,
reached us this forenoon. It is stated in one of the
latter, on the authority of letters from Bayonne of
the 27th ult. that the Spaniards have collected a con-
siderable force in the mountains of Guadarama,
which separate Old from New Castile, and that they
seem to intend to make an obstinate resistance there.
The French army under NAPOLEON Forced these
passes, which opened the way to Madrid.

The Government of the Netherland& is taking mea-
sures to protect its commerce against any insuk to
which it may be subjected in consequence of the war
between France and Spaie.lhe following are eltracts:
