THE STATtSMA N.

those—, Yea, Vise rartillerie, but Vire k Roil Fire!'
At this very instant, a company of the 9th Light Infan-
try, which had been masked, debouched, and completed
the dispersion of those whom the grape-shot had spared.
Thus the troops have manifested their love for the King
by something more expressive thee habitual accla-
mations. Your Excellency will find annexed the sum-
mary of the examination of four wounded men who have
- been picked up : it will give a just idea of the pitiable aux-
iliaries whom the Spanish Revolutionists have chosen, and
whom the Imperial Regiment of Alexander, in garrison at
Inn, have in a manner delivered up to slaughter, as they
withdrew their posts before the arrival of the refugees on
the banks of the "river. A few moments after their Bight,
all the inhabitants of both sexes assembled together, and
the communication between the two kingdoms was
im-
mediately established. The Alcade of I run has even in-
formed us that the Imperial Alexander has evacuated
that city, and that the Band of Firmin ha. also abandon-
ed Fontarabia. In the number of this day's victims, who
are 8 killed, and 4 severely wounded, are recognized the
persons named Mullett and Delamot, already implicated
in several conspiracies. " I am, &c.
" Count GUI LLEMINOT, Major-Gen."

• After the reading of this despatch, unanimous cries of
" Vine k ! Vine les Bourbone!" burst forth in
the Chamber.

While the Interim Minister of War was reading this de-
spatch in the Chamber of Deputies, M. de Villele, the
Minister of Finance and President of the Council, had
proceeded to the Peers to read a similar despatch from
the Duke de Bellano. The despatch of the Marshal,
which enclosed that of Guilleminot, contained nearly the
same facts.

The whole amount of the force that presented itself
with the tri-coloured flag, on the Spanish side of the Bi-
dassoa, is stated by private accounts, to have been be-
tween 150 and 200 men. General Walin, who was on
the French side of the river, ordered three cannon shots
to be fired on this body, and fifteen men were killed or
wound. Among• the latter is Delamotte, formerly a
Captain in the Legion of the Seine, and implicated in
the affair of the 19th of August, 1820. The Bidassoa
was crossed on the 7th. The army marches in three di-
visions ; one upon Toloso, direct for Madrid ; one upon
Patupeluna, and another upon St. Sebastian. The Duke
of Angouleme was to sleep on the Bth at ]run ; on the
9th he will advance 3 or 4 leagues, and proceed by short
marches to Tolosa, where he will arrive on the 12th.
He will stop there some days, to wait a little the effect of
his entry into Spain. The slowness of his march is said
to be owing to the necessity of allowing time for all the

materiel of the army to join.
The Moniteur of Thursday contains a royal ordinance,
dismissing the Mayor of Brest from his office, for the
proclamations in which he attacked the conduct of the
Swiss Guard. It appears by the Quotidieane, an ultra
paper, that the clothing magazines at Bayonne had been
intentionally set on fire; and that two Captains and
others bad been arrested on suspicion of having kindled
the flame. The Portuguese Ambassador is said to have
left Paris, having received an order from his Govern-
ment to ask for his passports as soon as the French should
declare war against Spain—his Excellency considered
the Duke of Awdovirsta's proclamation as such decla-
ration of war. Letters from Perpignan, quoted in the
Constitutionnel, state that Saguntum, the fort of Mur-1
viedro, had been retaken by the Constitutionalists.

Frankfort papers have arrived this morning, bat they
bring no intelligence of importance. The Austrian
columns are gradually coming from Lower Italy. The
King of the two Sicilies, it appears, intends to
remain the whole Summer in Germany. An ar-
ticle from St. Petersburg, of the 19th ult. states
the progress in Russia of the manufacture of the infe-
rior and middling woollen cloths to be so great, that there
is an excess of some millions of yards, after clothing the
army and navy ; and that in order to promote the manu-
facture of fine cloths, the Emperor has just ordered the
establishment of a manufactory at Moscow for dying and
preparing them. One hundred and fifty pupils will be
admitted into this institution, who being spread over the
whole empire will, it is expected, diffuse the true princi-
ples, and the most approved practice of the art.

sleep on the 31st ult., was rendered famous by the capitu-
lation of a whole French army under the command of
