PARIS, APRIL SO.

Five or six Spaniards besides Count Torreno have
been arrested. We are also assured that orders have
been given that the Spanish refugees who are in France,
and who reside in the departments which adjoin Spain,
must retire within the interior of France.

Count Pusignieu, Lieutenant• General in the Sing's
army, died last SaturdAy, at his hotel in the Rue St.
Hosore. During the disastrous period of the Revo
lution he contrived to retain hit regiment (the Chas.
seurs of Lorraine) in the most steadfast loyalty.—
Louis XVI. held him in the highest estimation.

CHAMBER OF DEFUT lES.
SITTING OF APRIL 29.

After M. Laine, the President, had taken the
Chair, he read the following letters trom the Ministers
of the Interior and Finance :

" Par is, April 23.

" M. PRESIDENT—I have received the letter in
which you ask me to take the King's orders. in order
that the Bureau may wait upon his Majesty with the
resolution of the Chamber on the subject of Ecclesi-
astical Pensions

I have taken the orders of the King : his Ma-
jesty, from the account which I have given him of
the Project adopted by the Chamber, has considered
that this Project contains an article which entirely
changes the nature of the law presented on the ex-
tinction of the rain viagern and ecclesiastical pen-
sions, and that this proposition may be sent in the
form of a resolution, to the Chamber of Peers, but
cannot be joined to the law which I have had the ho-
nour to present to the Chamber of Deputies, by order
of his Majesty. I have the honour, &c.
(Signed) 44 YAIIILANC."

nate these two Commissioners, from a list of six can-
didates presented by the Chamber, I entreat you to
get this list made out and sent to me. (Signed)
" COUNT CORVI:TTO."

After the Chamber had voted the above List, M.
DonoucHAsa, the Minister of the Marine, mounted
the Tribune :

labours, which you have gone' through with noble
zeal, his Majesty has thought the moment was at-.
rived for closing the Session of 1815. The President

Letters of the 21st ultimo, from Biscay and
Sebastian, distant about ten days postfrom Lis!

say nothing of disturbances having- broken nut is t.
North of Spain, as repotted in letters from the latt•
city a few days ago. It is therefore ptobahle, th
no open tumult had occurred, though it is not doubt •
that the elements of insurtection exist very gene rzll
in-Spain. Letters from Cadiz, of ti:e 12th c:t. me,
tion the dismissal of many of the heads of the Cos-

We have received, since our last, an Extraerdi.
nary Gazette of the Government of Lima, dated
the 234 of December, 1815. It contains a dispatc4
from PEZUELA, the General-in-Chief of the army of
Upper Peru, addressed to the Marquis de la Cos-
coma, the Viceroy, in which he boasts of having
obtained a complete victory over ItoNneau, who
commands the army of the Buenos Aires rebels as
they are called. He says, that on the 2Gth Novem-
ber he reached the heights of Chacapaya, which are
the last eminences of the Cordillera, and about two
leagues distant from the plain where RONDEAU lay
encamped. His descent into the plain cost him two
days' painful march, in which he Was constantly op•
posed by the enemy. On the 29th he gave battle to
the Buenos Ayres army, which amounted to 6,000
men, and completely defeated it. The. enemy, In
states, lost 1,5(X) in killed and wounded, and 400
prisoners, together with-all his artillery. He asserts,
that the second army of the insurgents of Bums
Ayres had thus been totally destroyed ; and concluder
with stating his intention to send one of his corps
against Cochabamba, another against Potosi, and a
third to exterminate certain chiefs, who had been sent
by RONDEAU to levy contributions on the town of
La Paz.'
