MADaID, April30.
The Duo d'Angouleme, count Latour
ldu Pin, and count Damas, are all here
lat this instant, where they have been re-
|ceived by all ranks with the greatest joy
lard enthusiasm. Hundreds of French
|smigrants pourin daily across the Pyren-
lnees, and an army is organising, which
bears the name of the 6 French Legion
|sf the South y King Ferdinand, after
Holding several councils of state, has de-
|cided apon making most vigorous war
upon Eenaparte, even independent of
|any resolution of the Allies. The Cue
|rilias both horse and foot, who did so
much mischief to the French during the
Hast war. have crossed the Pyrenress at
several points, without waiting for
orders, and have commenced their
career against the adherents and rarti-
|zans OF Bonaparte. Indeed, no French
|soldier in the south of France ventures
now to quit his barracks, except for tie
purpose of desertion; for either the In
Ihabitants, his own counttymen, or the
Guerillas, shew him DO mercy.
Letters from. Gera inform that the LIST

horses.

rections. 4 he King perceived that the
decisive, moment was come, and that
he nlst clear his way by Foligno, BY
main force and at any cost, being 80
longer able to repair but by rapidity his
previous neglect.
" What appeared to favonr his design
was she circumstance of his having es-
caLed from the column which was
marching in sinigaglia, by leaving
