Yesterday, in the morning, M. 'Fives, a General in the
Spanish service, and charged with a diplomatic mission
to the Congress of the United States of America, arrived
at Paris. ' Ile left Madrid on the 3d, that is, subsequent
to the letters and data of the (.'omit tiasette, which are
of the 3lst of January. The Spanish Embassy, and
probably the French tiovernment, have received news of
what occurred in Andalusia after the 26th, and in Ma-
drid after the 31st ult. np to the 3d instant.,--The official

ceeded, to the sound of the drum, on one of the gates
of the city, in order to deliver it up to the Insurgents,

seemed to expect only the success of the movements of
the Ishabitants. The corps tie garde established at the

The bead-quarters of the Royal Army are pointed oat
to be at Xeres, on the 27th, where tieneral Freyre was
to arrive on the 28th ; it is ten Spanish leagues from the
latter place to the bridge of Suaso. before la Isla de
Leon. It is impossible to avoid remarking great delay
iiand hesitation in the march of Gen. Freyre, which gives
great uneasiness at Court.
The news was circulated at Madrid, that an advanced

changing a few shots, Freyre's soldiers passed over
to the others. No letters from Andalusia arrived by the
last post.
