GENERAL DONNADIEU.

PROM A PARISIAN CORRESPONDENT.
For writing and fighting, DONNADIEU is the mac!
he writes as well as he fights, and fights as E. "I
write'! In his famous diNatch of the 17th May, I
at seven in the evening, he
ti gve, which prevents his eniering into details of the
hri Liam-day which the creeps Of-hivo-fr.4440.41-446,40.-±
Ile tells us—" L'ennemi a couvertede mortsie ekimpite
bat aile." If this phrase mean anything,. it men's'
that the enemy had covered the.field of battle Witte
c!,.rad ; i.e. of the• French, which is, we believe; tilde'
enough, though he meant the reverse. His •igiroo
ranee of his own language has made him 'MI the'
•t, uth, without intending it.
It is singular enough, that a similar phrase occtirs in
his famous dispatch, sent off at night also, from Gre-
noble, in ISIS. I:This dispatch begins thus : " Vive
le Rai! Monseigneur, les cadavres des ennemis couvrent
toes les chenains a tine liene a l'entour de Grenoblell
About three hundred labourers out of work were told
to go to Grenoble, and• they would get employment :
they were armed for the most part widirtualking sticks.
DONNADIEU called out all the troops, and attacked.
them, and bf course defeated them ; after multiplying',
their numbers, as Tom Thumb
,did his Giants, to,
seven thousand, he sent off an express to M. Ds-;
CAZESJ boating of the glorious e.t plait, which his
ex! ram fatigue preventedlisdakos ;justice to—that he
had killed from three to four thousand-:and that the
country,, for a league viand' Gienoble; tvasjoncM
with the bodies of traitors! Iti. DECAZES received
afterwards news from other quarters that be haefbeen
imposed on, and the Commissary of Police of Gre,
noble officially certified that the number of the
• amounted only to six the labourers having all
scampered away when fired on. They knew not why
these facts were stated in the Chamber of Deputies
by M. Sr. AULAIRE and not contradicted. They will
serve now to put the Public of its guard against this
hero's relation of his own exploits. •

a New Spanish Loan said to be of Eight Hundred Thousand.
Pounds sterling, contracted for at 30, and sold to the Public at

several bargains have been done this morning in the above Lau,
it is yet doubtful of its having been contracted for, and wageW
have been made that no such Loan will take place. It is akign,
said the French Loan has been put off.

From the Paris Papers of Thursday, which arrived
last night, we have given, in a preceding . part, the
official accounts of the occupation of Madrid by the
French, and the steps which they have since taken to
accomplish the objects fisi'Which they profess to hauli
entered Spain. The .D'ultre of AtroouLutz imme-
diately called together the ancient Councils of Castile
and the Indies, and these have appointed a Regency
to govern the Kingdom during what is called the
captivity of the Kirtg. It Consists of five Members—.
the Duke of INFANTADO, who is President; the Duke
of MONTENIAN the Bishop of OSMA, who is said to
possess great influence; Baron EROLES, and M. CAL-
DERON. Of the Duke del- INFANTAOO'S history We
gave, in the STAn of Saturday, a slight sketch. .The
Duke de MONTEMAR held, under the former Govern-
ment, the important office of President of the Coun-
cil of the Indies. The Bishop of CISMA is a Prelate
highly venerated throughout Spain. Baroad'Ettouni
is well known ; and M. CALDERON we presume to be
the Count de CALDEBon, who received that title in
1818; and who was previously.well known as Dots
F. NI. CALEEJA, Viceroy of New Spain. •
'The two last were Members of the Provi-
Sionid Junta that accompanied the Duke of ANGOU-
LIMB on his entrance
.into Spain ; and whose func-
tions have now ceased on the appointment of the Re-
gency. Although there can be no question that this
proceeding has taken place entirely under French
direction, yet there is in the manner of it something
which holds out a hope that the calamities of this in-
e:i~iiou will terminate without consigning the nation
eit.lier. to a state of dependence on foreign Power
or the unlimited authority of the KING. In
leaving the appointment of the Regency even no..
rninally to the Councils of Castile and the Indies,
the French have shewn a desire to respect the national
will ; whilst we look upon it as improbable that the
Dukes of •INTANTADO Stld MONTZMAR 'would have
consented to exercise.* fuoctionkof it, if it implied
concessions on their part inconsistent with their cha-
racter of Spaniards. They mud both knots, that if
they were to lend themselves to, any attempt to re-
store the absolute King, it would, beside protracting
for an indefinite time the stay of the invading forces,
be the source of endless troubles, and lead at last to
anothar revolution, and perhaps to the extinction of
Monarchy. We ire inclined to regard these two No-
blemen asthe beads of a large party, who are as hos-
tile to despotism as they are to a pure democracy.
It would seem as if ADfSBAL acted in concert with
