FROM THE JOURNAL DES DEBATS.

MADRID, AUGUST 15.

It is said that Zayas has capitulated, and that Car-
thagena has opened its gates. It is also affirmed that
the Spanish troops-of Estramadura, under the orders
of Casteldorius, are determined to follow the ex- .
ample of those of Ballasteros. On the other hand,
General O'Donnel has arrived at Zamora, and is ad-
vancing on Ciudad Rodrigo, the Governor of which
place wishes to enter• into arrangements.
In Cadiz the Cortes have dissolved, leaving a Com-
mittee to act in their stead. It may be remarked that
this is what the Cortes of Lisbon did at the moment
when the Revolution was about to take place. The
Deputies Marao, Saltra, Texeigro, and the E=•Mini-
ster Navaro, on leaving Cadiz withdrew to Alicant.
The reception given to the Duke d'Angouleme at
Andujar will form an epoch in the annals of that
town. The crowd of people collected from all parts
of Andalusia was so great, that though there are more
than four thousand houses in Andujar, and each house
is detached, and of considerable size, the Magistrates
of Jaen and some other towns, who were among the
visitors, could not find accommodation in the already
crowded houses, and were obliged to bivouac.
Accounts have been received from the Duke d'An-
gouleme, dated Ecija, three short marches from Pu-
erta de Santa Maria. The Prince was marching to
deliver King Ferdinand, amidst the acclamations of
the people.

BAYONNE PAPERS.
BAYONNE, AUGUST 16.

The letters from Madiid do nut add much infor-
mation to that which we received by the last Mail.
They give very long details of the disturbances that
took place in the Capital on the 10th, in consequence
of the report of the King's departure from Cadiz ;
tranquillity, however, is perfectly restored: thanks to
the conduct of ;the French troops. The Royal Family
is in very good health, and continues to take the
pleasure of driving out near the gate on the land
side. The Duke of Angouleme, it seems, left Cor-
dova in great haste for Cadiz, where, it is reported,
he is expected with impatience, because they will not
treat with anybody but him. The mob, we under-
stand, have Committed various excesses at Cordova,
plundering the houses of the Constitutionalists: many
persons have bees thrown into prison. At Mad: id,
un the contrary, the prisons have been cleared, con-
trary, as it should seem, to the wishes of the Regency,
three Members of which have retired.

The Russian Ambassador is supposed to have great
influence with the Regency, and to have much *p-
p r ov ed of the rigorous measures that have been
adopted hitherto: it is affirmed that he has repeatedly
offered a Russian auxiliary corps of .50,000 men. The
courier with the merchants letters has arrived to-day
later than usual. Letters from Vittoria, received by

this conveyance, inform us that the persons who were
arrested for political opinions had been set at liberty
by virtue of the order of the Duke of Angouyme,
dated Andujar, the Bth of this month. The Alcade
of Vittoria, who refused to carry it into execution, has
himself been imprisoned. it is positively affirmed
that negociations are going on at this moment, and
that some articles of the Constitution will be modified.
A regiment of the line is just arrived, and four
companies of artillery from La Fere. We expect the
52d, which is to remain in garrison here.
The Trappist is in the environs of Vittoria.
[Here follows a mutilated copy of the Decree, so•
perseding the power of the Regency, which was is-
sued at Andujar by the Duke d'Angouleme, on the
Bth inst. A correct copy of this Decree, the authen•
ticity of which some of our contemporaries affected
to doubt, was given in .the STAR of Wednesday-last.]
