APRIL 15.

Lieutenant-General Coetlosquet arrived here this
morning. It is said that he will take the command
of the 10th division, formed of the Sd and 4th corps,
which were destined for General Donnadieu.

The authority which gave permission for Monks
and Privies to make prayers in public, has been
withdrawn.

Two regiments of women have been formed in
Barcelona for the service of the place, in case it shall
be besieged. It will be recollected that doting the
war of Independence, a similar battalion was formed
at Geronna, whose courage in Catalonia Marshal St.
Cyr so much praised.

BAYONNE, APRIL 19.
PROM A PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT.

On the approach of the advanced guard, com-
manded by General Valin, the Coy stitutional troops
and the militia retired on Vittoria. The right wing
of the lit corps has taken the route to Bilboa.

• A deputation of the inhabitants have petitioned
the Duc d'Angouleme to prevent the entry of the
Army of the Faith into that town. The Duke has
acceded to their request, and marked a line of de-
marcation, beyond which the Army of the Faith is
not to. pass. St. S:bastian's still holds out. A skilful
officer arrived to-day to hasten the sending off the
necessary artillery for a regular siege. It is said that
General Tirlet will direct the operations.
An engagement is said to have taken place be-
tween the Pastor and the 23d regiment; between
Villa Real and Tolosa.
The division of General Carmel is ordered to suc-
ceed that of Bourke, before St. Sebastian's. Pam-
peluna appears determined to make a vigorous re-
sistance. It appears, that the Spaniards are concen-
trating all their forces on the right, with a view, it
is said, of enabling 'Mina and Ballasteros to form a
junction.

It is impossible to conceive the awkward position
in which we are placed. Reports of every kind are
circulated : among those which prevailed yester-
day, the most remarkable is the arrest of the Trap-
pist, which is said to have taken place by order of
his Royal Highness, in consequence of some excesses
which he had committed against the Constitutional
inhabitants.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.

" PARIS, MornoAy EvEnNa.

" The Journals which I send by this express wiN
give you all the information from the seat of war that
has been suffered transpire. It is, however, reported
and believed in the best-informed circles, that a Spa-
nish Declaration has been issued and received in
Paris in answer to that of the Duc d'Angouleme
issued on crossing the Bid assoa, but that the' French Go-
vernment will not suffer it to appear in the Journals."

The Paris Journals of Sunday contain little intel-
ligence fiorn the army. The. port and citadel of
Guetaria, a place of no military importance, has been
occupied by the French troops, who are said to have
taken two Colonels, ten other Officers, and two bun-
dled men, prisoners, with five pieces of cannon.—
It is also said, that the forts of Pancorvo• and Burgos
have been evacuated,• and that " every where the
French army meets with the best reception!' St. Se-
bastian is of course excepted. But the way in which
the French Journals blazon forth the most trivial mi-
litary operations of the army, shews how little it has
really accomplished.
Guetaria, the capture of which is made the subject
of a particular communication from the Major-Gene.
ral of the Grand Army, is about twenty miles, or
somewhat less, due West from St. Sebastian. As its
occupation is a proof of the progress made by the in-
vaders, so the five pieces of cannon that were found
there shew the strength of the place.
Another great military operation of the French
army has been the occupying the valley of Arau,
which was protected by a Spanish Officer and 20 sol-
diers, who of course did not attack Field-Marshal
Baron Rzynnun, who was specially selected for
this service, which ought to have been confided to a
serjeant's guard. The Field-Marshal consequently
occupied the valley of Aran, and the French Journals
pay him the homage of their praise " for the spirit
and zeal which his soldiers mariireited," in this most
daring achievement.
The Pilate jlas the following -paragraph, which

would appear to confirm the capture of the Guerriere
French frigate by the Spanish vessels::-..“ We re-
ceived a letter from Brest of the 14th of April, which
announces that the Guerriere frigate was just cap-
tured by a Spanish frigate and another vessel, after
an action (,f eight hours."
The French Rentes, on the 21st, openeS at 133 f. 90c.
and left off at 831. 60c. After 'Change they rose to
811. 10c. •

We have just received, by another express, the
following advices from Perpignan of the progress of
Marshal MONCEY'S division of the Army of the Py-
rennees. In the hurry of sending them off they have
been left without date; but. on their authenticity our
Readers may xely:
" The division of the Army of the Pyrennees under
Marshal Moncey has at length entered Catalonia.
The corps under General Milan penetrated by Fi-
gueras ;and that of Curi3O, which has been so long
stationed in this vicinity, by Campredon.
" At Carrano, Milans was encountered by a body of
the Spnnish Constitutionalists. After a short but
smart engagement, in which the Spaniards sufft.rcd
severely, they were put to the route. Two hundred
of them were takenT prisoners, who immediately after
made an offer to enlist into the French army, which
was accepted."

We find the following important statement in
accounts from Mayence, of the 10th of April :

" All the letters from Vienna still express hopes of peace, and
it is generally believed there that negotiations will be immedi-
ately renewed between France and Spain, and that England will
act a great part in them. The last Note of Mr. Gottnots to
Prince NIEITIRNICH contains a declaration of the Cabinet of St.
James's, which considers the difference between France and the
Peninsula as a dispute between those Powers only, and shows
that England would not be inclined to suffer other Powers to in-
terfere, unless in a pacific view ; being herself determined to
take up the defence of the weaker party, if a certain Northern
Power should pretend to take an active share. The Court of
Vienna is said entirely to coincide in all these sentiments."

Bayonne Papers to the 16th instant reached us this
forenoon. They are of considerable interest, as show-
ing the indecision of the French Commander; the
little progress that the army has made in Spain; and
the growing difficulties with which it will have to
contend :
