Accounts from Saragossa state, that two superior
Officers had gone from Mequinenza, to propose a ca.!
..of
I pitulation
,to the Constitutional General, which was
accepted ; and that two Officers of the. Patriotic army
remained at Mequinenza as hostages, until the capi-
tulation was effected. 1

It is also said, that the Chief CAPAPE has surren-
dered at discretion to General BALt.ASTPROS, who has
granted both him and his men a full pardon.
JAvuAGuir, the Pastor, is still at Irun, where he is
preparing to make a resistance, if, as it is believed,
only the troops of the Faith shall attempt the passage.
The Pastor has said that they called him a Brigand,
and that he would fully justify this appellation when
the French shall enter.

GOROSTIDI was at St. Jean de Luz, where he was
organizing a battalion of the men he had brrught
there with the Trappist, who always carries the
crucifix in his hand.

QUESADA, who has not been to !run, as was re-
ported, sent a request to Bayonne, from St. Jean de
Luz, to bave six field-pieces, but the Marshal to
whom this singular demand was made, answered that
it was not necessal y; and they were, consequently,
not sent.

It is stated that the garrisons of the little towns of
the three provinces, without opposing any resistance,
as soon as the French appear, intend to join the first
principal corps of the Constitutional Army they
meet with.

Horses are out of all price at Bayonne: the Army
of the Faith buys up all, good and bid; sometimes
at 1000 francs each. All the citizens have sold their
horses on account of the high price; the scarcity of
forage is great. The Aide-de-Camp of General
GUILLEDITNOT was arrested on the 20th ult. and sent
to Paris guarded by two gendarmes. Some say that he
is implicated in a military conspiracy ; but others say
that it is for having committed a forgery.
The troops of the Faith have ill-treated a Mayor in
the environs of St. Jean Pied de Port, because he
would not lodge them all in the village, which could
not maintain them; fears were entertained for his life.

This forenoon we received a Lisbon Mail, with
Papers to the 21st ult. They are full ofdetails respect-
ing the insurrection of ASIARANTE ; but they are
neither satisfactory nor wry intelligible. It appears,
however, that after several rencontres between the
Constitutional forces and those of Count d'Ama-
RANT; the insurrection was not suppressed, but that
it continued so formidable as to make the General of
the Constitutional Army talk rather of defensive than
offensive operations. The following are extracts :

LISBON, MARCH 19.
The following is the latest news published of the
Constitutional Army:

" General Luiz do Rego Barreto, after the affair
of the 13th, with his van guard, encountered the fac-
tious, and an action took place with loss on both
sides: he thought fit to concentrate the troops under
his command, and transfer his head-quarters to Ama-
rante, whence he wrote the following dispatch :

" Most Illustrious and Excellent Sir—l send en-
closed the dispatch of General Rego, and besides what
it can tell your Excellency I can add nothing, unless
it be that the greater part of the officers who were
taken prisoners chose to go home rather than remain
with the factious as was proposed to them, ex-
cept Captain Mayer and Lieut. Navarro, both of the
battalion of Cazadoreso No. 10.
" I have collected some Cazadores, and more
would join me, but for the country people, who ep.
pose their march. The Officers begin to present them-
selves to be again employed, &c.

" Head-qua/ter; at Oporto, 17th March, 189.3.
" ANTONIO LOBO TEXEIRA DIVEARROS.
The Most Mustrious Manoel Gonsalves de Misaida."
P.S.—The proposal to remain or not with the
factious was made by Major-General Luis Maria. do
Souza Vahia, who is wounded in one arm.

.4 Most Illustrious and Excellent Sir—l have given
orders to fortify the interesting points. of the I'arnega,
to leave them secure; to be able to do which, I am
anxious to move upon Traz-os-Montes.
By accounts which I have received from the
Governor of Beira, /. know that the passages of the
Douro are guarded. The factious have not yet come
down upon our detachments ; the bridge of Cavez is
secured, and I send thither some of the troops that
arrive.

The spirit of the troops is excellent, and they
are eager to revenge the outrage done to the brave
Cazadores.

4, The people in this pan of Traz-os-Montes are
almost all in a state of insurrection, deluded by the
proclamation of Antonio da Silveira, and armed; but
I fear nothing front this arming of the people, as,
when we enter again, the presence of troops will keep
them in check.

I hope that Brigadier Claudino will join me as
soon as possible : as soon as he arrives., and some
more force, 1 will effect the movement of our troops.
I do not much desire to trouble the militia, stho
ought only to be employed in garrisons and convoys;
but unless I obtain acme mote trovs o! the line, it
