Donnadieu's despatch is in the true Bobadi
style, "much ado about nothing" The
French ministers, we understand, took the
liberty Of emitting the conclusion of the lat
ter, which was in these words: &c la fusilade
continue encore" The French cabinet had
the sagacity to see that this was not a very
satisfactory termination OLA battle, and that il
indicated any thing but victory they there
fore struck il out ofthe copy ordered for pub
iicdtion. Donnadieu makes no mention of
prisoners /; he therefore took none. Money

Several private expresses arrived this morn
ing from Paris, bringing letters dated on Wed
nesday evening. The Rentes had advanced
again to 89l. loc. and Spanish Bonds were
worth Az. One of these letters states that
Abisbal had been arrested, and sent to Seville
for trial. That he has not deserted TO the
French IS sufficiently apparent from the silence
OF their Journals. In the City no information
has been received, which in any way sanctions
the idea of the complete success of the atre-
cIous conduct of the Bourbons, which is enter
tanned westward, and gentlemen well acquaint-
ed with the Spanish character from long
residence amongst them, entertain no doubt
of the eventful expulsion of all fanatics from
that lnsulted country for SO long as Espinosa

nianded by Abisbal, no fears ought 10 exist of
its devotion to the freedom of its country.

BAYONNE, May Notwithstanding the

without any material interruption, those per |
sons who are of opinion, that the Spanish |
generals act upon preconcerted and well di |
Srsted plan, are not quite at their ease respect
ing the results of the campaign. They see in |
their movements an intention of separating |
the various corps of our army by drawing |
Them to different parts of the kingdom, where |
they will be unable TO afford each other any |
support. Thus Nina has been constantly |
