FOREIGN INTELLIGENC.E.

SPAIN.
The French government has recetvedthefoilowing telegraphic
dispatch

"Bayonne, April 3, half-past 3, p. m.
"On the 20th and 21st of March, General Bursa attacked
Cabrera, who was besiging Lucena, with 13 battalions and 7
pieces of artillery, and lo.reed hint to raise the siege. Basilio
was on the 28th before Ciudad Real, and Flinter at Consuegra.
Espartero was on the 27th at Valencia, and the Carlist expedi-
tion on the 26th at Freno de Rodella. The committee bas
unanimously adopted the bill on the loan."
The • Quotidienne' makes the following observations on the
telegraphic dispatch from Bayonne of the 3d It ap-
pears that Basiiitt Garcia, who Was making his way towards the
monntains of ,kvila, as if he had been determined to traverse
Talavera, has made a sudden counter-march towards La Man-
cha; front 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 should be recoilected that
Ciudad Real is only 15 leagues from Ahnaden ; and that Gen.
Flinter, who of all the Christinos chiefs is closest to the expedi-
tion, has been left 15 leagues further behind at Consuegra!"
A letter front Catalonia of the alth ult. given by the Quoti-
dienne,' contains the following information ;—" A column•of
3000 infantry and 50 horse, with three cannon, having marched
front Solsona, cante on the 12th o the neighbourhood of Gerry.
to raise the siege of that place. This expedition was received
by the Carlists with the greatest sany-fruid. and after 10 hours'
tightiug, completely routed, with the lOss of a great many
killed, among 'whom was the commander, Brigadier Videres.
If Tristany had arrived one hour sooner, the whole column
would nave been destroyed. On the 13th Cagaera having heard
that Baron de Meer threatened Ripoll, advanced thither with
31)0 men; but having found that Colonel Darchs had aban-
doned that place without fighting, he caused him to be arrested
and shot 011 the 25th, at Bergs."
Extract of a letter Intro Toulon, dated March The
occupation of Stora is definitively resolved upon. A column of
.2(110 men will shortly march from Constantine simultaneously
with the appearance or 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, without
stating the result. He reports at the saute time the counter-
march of Guergue from his movement upon Portugalette, and
,his arrival in the valley of Mena, with the intention of crossing
the Ebro. This account, however, he does not confirm.
A letter front Durango, dated the 30th, states that Guergue,
having made a false movement on Portugalette, suddenly made
a counter-march, and at that date was in the village ot Mena,
wth the whole of his division and tour pieces of artillery, intend-
ing to cross the Ebro and march direct into the province of
Burgos.
The Madrid papers of the 28th ult have arrived. A report
was current, but nut credited, that General Latre had died of
his wound. The Gazette' of the 28th states, that the expedi-
tion under Count Negri halted for the night of the 21th at Vil-
lamayor; and was marching in the direction of Pedrosa and
Vascuncellos, closely followed by General Iriarte.

The Bee, which arrived ou Saturday, at this port, from Val-
paraiso, whence she sailed on the 28th aDecen4ber, has brought
the fuliowittg interesting letter _

VALPARAIS.J, 27th DEC., 1837.—1 have to inform you, that
three of the Peruvian vessels or war, viz., Socaba:i a, 24-guns;
Confederation, 22 guns; and Congresso, 18 guns, taking ad-
vantage of the Chili ships of war being with the expedition in
the ktermedios, appeared off this port on the 27th Nov. ult.,
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
theni ; the remainder were brought over to the continent by an
Ainencari whaler. They sailed from that island on the 18th
Nov. ult., fra Talcahuano, and, after being here as above, sailed
fir the northward, visiting Coquimbo, fluasco, and Cupiapo.
Daring 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.
Rover arrived here on the 14th instant, from Quilca,
brin9in;:, an account of Admiral Bianco,,Commander-in-chicf
of the Chili expedition, (which sailed a!sainstPerii-15th Sept.
ult.) 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 November ult., about six leagues from Arequipa.
An oflicial rejection of this treaty has been published by the
Chili government, and a new ekpedition, of a much superior
force, is determined upon. Litna, the capital of Peru, it is said,
will be the-objevt of attack. The Chili vessels of war sail in a
day or two with the non-ratification, and, probably, 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 martial held respecting hts conduct
with the expetlitioil in Peru.
. .

Subscriptions have been opened, and two persons appointed
by Government, to receive money and stores front the public
to carry on the war ! which is popular only with the lower
classes, who have nothing to lose, and those Who are employed
by or interested with the present party who are now in power.
In the meantime, commerce is growing worse and worse, and
the oldest resident in Valpariso never knew business so bad;
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 ?
