LATEST FROM FRANCE.

|
BY the ship Otheiio, Captain Lambert, from
Bordeaux, we have files of French papers up
to the 2Jth of April which afford very little
additional intelligence to the news brought by
the late arrivals.
| The French army had entered Lagrono on
their march TO Pampelma and the Duke D.
Angouleme had crossed the Ebro on his way
| TO Madrid. All accounts unite in stating that
the inhabitants abandoned their homes on the
approach Of the French army, and no resis-
lance was made to their progress. This ualI
probability, is part of the system which. has
been heretofore resolved upon The Spanish
| general, Nina, on whom great reliance is
| placed, has been Jealous in his efforts 10 pre-
| serve the French from attack in their ad
vance his policy seems to have been not only
to permit them freely to enter Spain, and
march triumphantly TO Madrid, but TO attract
them far To the north--tO hem them in be
tween some Ofthe mountains, where they can
| he cut off with ease, aud If the French allow
themselves TO be thus decoyed, their fate is
| sealed.
The Commissary General of Marine, under
date of April Goth, announces TO the public
the Embargo laid On the Spanish ships in the
ports of France this measure has brcn
adopted, he says, only for a few days, and it
has been dictated for the interest of the
| French army, in order that its movements
| should not be known in Spain but the minis
ter of marine has ordered, by his dispatch OF
the 18th inst. to raise that embargo, TO grant
To the Spanish merchantmen the same pro-
lection as to the French commercial ships.
The King he declares considers only rs en-
emies Of France, the pirates and Spanish pri-
vateers, those alone are the objects of the
waichfulncss Of the armed ships commanded
| by officers of the military marine.
| The marine news of the IA II IT and
| 10Th April from St. John de Luz, to the
Sands of Olonne, prove that there is not n
| single Spanish prvateer in the Gulf of GascO-
ny, and that the navigation OF that part is pur-
sued with the greatest security.
The Dutcbsss of Angouleme made an ex-
cursion TO Blaye and Pouiac, on the cad oI
April, in the steam boat In Gronde. Her
embarcatiOn at B0Sdcaux was witnessed by a
great crowd of I'M Inhabitants, and the name
NJ the boat WAS changed to the Marie THerese
| Two other steam boats 70 allowed, one of which
was filed with a large party from the neigh
bourhood and he other with band of nausi
clans. The Maria Therese had been fitted
up for The occasion, and an officer of the roya
marine was stationed at the helm. The cor
nice over the fire place in the cabin bore he
following inscription
March 2, 1914.
Monteimart, 1915.
! Bldassoa, 1898.
| The first IF these, saysa Bordeaux paper
was sufficiently explained by an immortal
crown; double row Of laurcIs surmounted
The second and about the third was palm
on an olive branch-indicating that victory is
to procure peace Nat. .adr.
Use Count Of Breteuil gave The following
toast, during a momentary absence Of heI
Royal Highness: "Tbe treasure we have The
honor to possess on board, and which inspires
such sentiments as would only be injured by
an attempt TO express them. Vive Madame =
The Duchess took bracelet from her arm
and presented it TO the officers Of her escort
in remembrance Of the Duke Of Bordeaux
towards whom .all hopes are turned, and
who may bccome king 70 their children"
