SPAIN.
The French government has received the following telegraphic
dispatch

"Bayonne, April 3, half-past 3, p. m.
"On the 20th and 21st of March, General Bars(' attacked
Cabrera, who was besiging Lucena, with 13 battalions and 7
pieces of artillery, and forced him to raise the siege. Basilio
was on the 28th before Ciudad Real, and Flinter at Consuegra.
Espalier° was on the 27th at Valencia, and the Carlist expedi-
tion on the 26th at Freno de Rodella. The committee has
unanimously adopted the bill on the loan."
The 'Quotidienne' makes the following observations on the
telegraphic dispatch from Bayonne of the 3d inst.:—" It ap-
pears that Basilio Garcia, who was making his way towards the
mountains of Avila, as if he had been determined to traverse
Tala.vera, has made a sudden counter-inareh towards La Man-
cha; from which it may be inferred, that he has been made ac-
quainted with the conditions of the loan contracted by M.
Aguado, and wishes to destroy its principal basis, by letting in ,
water into the mines of Almaden. It shoulcbbe -recollected that
Ciudad jteal is 0n1y.15 leagues from Almaden; and that Geit.
Flinter, Wit° of all the Christinos chiefs ii, closest to the expedi-
tion, has been left 15 leagues further behind at Consuegra !""
A letter from Catalonia of the 30th ult. given by the Quoti-v
dienne,' contains the following information :—".A column of
3000 infantry and 50 horse, with three cannon, having marched
from Solsona, came on the 12th to the neighbourhood of Gerry.
to raise the siege of that place. This expedition was received
by the Carlists with the greatest sangfroid, and after 10 hours'
fighting, completely routed, with the loss of a great many
killed, among, whom wai the cominand,r, Brigadier Videres.
If Tristanv had arrived one hour sooner, the whole column
would nave been destroyed. On the 13th Cagaera having heard
that Baron de Meer threatened Ripon, advanced thither with
3000 men; but having found that Colonel Darchs had aban-
doned that place without fighting, he caused him to be arrested
and shot onithe 25th, at Berga."
Extract of a-letter from Toulon, dated March 31 :—" The
occupation of Stora is definitively resolved upon. A column of
2000 men will shortly march from Constantine simultaneossly
with the appearance of three steam-boats and some smaller
craft upon the coast, where 1200 men will be disembarked, with
the necessary guns, ammunition, and provisions. An obstinate
. resistance is not looked for; but every precaution will be taken
to repulse any act of hostility."
A letter from the Bayonne frontier, of the 2d inst. mentions
the fact of O'Donnell's second advance upon Vera, withmt
stating the result. He reports at the same time the couubr-
march of Guergue from his movement upon Portugalette, aid
his arrival in the valley of Mena, with the intention of crossiag
the Ebro. This account, however, he does not confirm.
A letter from Durango, dated the 30th, states that Guergie,
having made a false movement on Portugalette, suddenly male
a counter-march, and at that date was in the village of Meia,
wth the whole of his division and four pieces of artillery, intend-
ing to cross the Ebro and march direct into the provinceof I
Burgos. •

The Madrid papers of the 28th ult have arrived. A report
was current, but not credited, that General Latre had diedof
his wound. The Gazette' of the '2Bth states, that the expeii-
lion under Count Negri halted for the night of the 24th at Vl-
lamayor ; and was marching in the direction of Pedrosa aid
Vasconcellos, closely followed-by General Iriarte.

CI-111A.
The Bee, which arrived on Saturday, at this port, from Vd-
paraiso, whence she sailed on the 28th of December, has brougat
the following interesting letter :

VALPARAIS'i, 27th I3Ec., 1837.-1 have to inform you, flat
three of the Peruvian vessels of war, viz., Socaba3a, 24 guns ;
Confederacion, 22 guns; and Congresso, 18 guns, taking Ed-
vantage of the Chili ships of war being with the expedition in
the Intermedios, appeared off this port on the 27th Nov. uk.,
and remained until the 3d inst. They had previously visited
the island of Juan Fernandez, where they set at liberty the
criminal and political prisoners, and some of the latter joined
them ; the remainder were brought over to the continent by an
American whaler. They sailed from that island on the 18th
Nov. ult., for Talcahuano, and, after being here as above, sailed
for the northward, visiting Coquimbo, Huasco, and Copiapo.
During their cruise, they took two or three of the Chili mer-
chant vessels. The only Chili man of war in this port was the
schooner Colocolo, repairing; consequently, these vessels caused
a considerable degree of alarm along the whole coast.
H.M.S. Rover arrived here on the 14th instant, from Quilca,
bringing an account of Admiral Blanco, Commander-in-chief
of the Chili expedition, (which sailed against Peru 15th Sept.
nit.) having made a treaty of peace with General Santa Cruz.
Admiral Blanco arrived here the following day, in the Chili
corvetto Libertad, and the other Chili vessels of war and trans-
ports have since returned with the troops of the expedition, the
last of which arrived yesterday. The treaty was agreed to on
the 17th Novemberult., about six leagues from Arequipa.
An official rejection of this treaty has been published by the
Chili government, and a new expedition, of a much superior
force, is determined upon. Lima, the capital of Peru, it is said,
will be the object of attack. The Chili vessels of war sail in a
day or two with the non-ratification, and, probable, with an in-
tent of blockading Callao, and keeping the Peruvian vessels of
war in that port, if they find, them there. Admiral Blanco has
been ill received by this government, and it is thought, will in-
sist upon having a court inertial held respecting bio conduct
with the expedition in Peru. •

Subscriptions have been opened, and two persons appointed
by Government, to receive money and stores from the public
to carry on the %val.! which is popular only with the lower
classes, who have nothing to lose, and those who are employed
by or interested with the presek party who are now in power.
In the meantime, commerce is growing worse and worse, and
the oldest resident in Valpariso never knew business sobad;
in short, there is little or nothing doing, with nearly to the
amount of a million sterling of foreign goods in the Custom-
house stores ?
