We have before us the letters of a traveller in the
book trade, who has recently visited Brittany. On hs
being known that the Missionaries were coming into
that province, some of the booksellers at Finisterre and
Morbihan obtained the authority of the Bishop t• pub-
lish prayer•books and homilies for the Jubilee. But the
Missionaries thundered from the pulpit against ail books
but those published by their authority, which were ac-
cordingly sold in great numbers, while the poor book-
sellers could scarcely dispose of a single copy.
At Nantes, the Missionaries placed Telemachus, the
Henriade, the Jerusalem, the translation of H loser, by
Bitaube, and the Genie du Christianisme. This is also
one of their speculations.. They are printing purged
copies of these-books, as they have done with Boileau,
and ha►ing mutilated, will then sell them.

Letters from Madrid, of the 25:h of January, say—
" Ficim the details respecting the afftir of Coruches,
it seems that the insurgents engaged amounted to eleven
thousand men, and that of Villa Flor to seven thousand
at most. The victory was warmly disputed during the
whole day; but the report of the landing of the Eo
lish troops, with the addition that they had immediat ly
marched for Beira, caused a panic terror in the camp of
the Marquis de Chaves. The Officers and Commanders
themselves, except Count Canellas, were the first to
take flight. The soldiers followed, and a great number
of them went over to.the enemy. When they reached
Almeida' the fugitives were beginning to rally, when
almost the whole corps of Magessi, hearing of the
amnesty published by the Regent, went in a body to
give themselves up to the Count de Villa Flor. The
remainder were terrified, and fled to the Spanish terry.
tory, where, in a tumultuous assembly, the Marquis
de Chaves was deprived of the chief command,. which
was given to Viscount Montealegre, who was able tb
collect but little mote than 1,000 men, with whdm he
is said to have re-entered Portugal by Tras-os• Monies.
The others have dispersed in small detachments, some
of whom have douhtless also repassed the frontiers, as
Chaves and the other Chiefs seem to have done. The
Marchioness of Chaves has not come to Madrid, but is
with her husband."

FROM THE JOURNAL DRS DRRATS OF SUNDAY.

PARIS, F a.

We learn, without surprise, that Count d'Appony
continues to refuse to our Marshals the foreign tides
with which they are invested. His Excellency was
present, without doubt, at the meeiing of the Chamber
of Deputies, where the Count de Villele so worthily
avenged the national honour, outraged in the persons
of our most illustrious warriors. The following is ttie
reparation offered by the Ambassador of Austria. The
Duke of Dalmatia received, three days ago, an invitation
from Count d'Appony, for Tuesday, the 6th February,
addressed to M. the Marshal Sonic. It is said that, after
having taken the instructions ache King, the Marshal
sent back the invitation, accompanying his refusal with
expressions which proved he keenly felt this new insult.M.
de Villele has spokenofengagetnents entered into by ano-
ther Administration, which might give to Austria the
right of bringing forward pretensions so injurious to our
recollections. Yet it is asserted, that yesterday, in the
Chamber of Peers, Prince Talleyrand gave in a private
conversation,themost positive assurances,that at the Cot-
gress of Vienna, no treaty or convention was entered into
between the two Courts, which furnished the slightest
pretext for the objections of the Austrian Cabinet. M. de
Villele spoke of the satisfaction given by Count
d'Appony to the Duke de Reggio; yet M. de Villele
knows, at least as all as those who heard him, that
in giving to Marshal Oudinet the title of Duke of
Reggio, the Austrian Ambassador especially set faith
his tight to refuse to Marshal Soult the title of Dalmatia;
and to Marshal Mortier the title of Treviso. This is what
has taken place; but M. de Villele had but one means
of putting an end to the discussion, and that was by the
cry of ,4 Question." The new step taken by M. d'Ay-
pony has produced in every man, who bears a French
heart, the liveliest indignation. Yesterday, in the Cham-
ber of Peers, Marshal Jourdan having proposed an
amendment, to limit the qualification granted to all
retired military men of appearing on the list of Juries,
General d'Ambrugeac replied, with heat, that now was
the time to raise the importance of the army, when that
it had just been attacked in its most glorious illustra-
tions. This generous indignation has speedily been felt
by all minds. A resolution has been taken, not to cross
the threshold of the Ambassador of Austria, until it
real and actual reparation is made, and M. de Villele
will not be constituted the Judge of what is such. And
who, we ask, will refuse to act in a league so inoffen-
sive, as that •f no longer entering into a house, the
lacqueys of which insult the Marshals of France ?
