Inc ship Minerva, capt. Wilson 28
uays from Liverpool, has brought papers
Oh that place of the 9Th April, from which
NaPpears that no accounts had been re-
ceivcd OF the commencement OF hostili-
tes on the Spanish frontier. The duke
Angoulems had arrived at head quarters.
and It is naturally to be inferred from
this circumstance, that Spain would be
forthwith invaded, if his royal highness
did not receive counter orders in few
days from Paris. II was reported in one
OF the London papers (thc Sum- Of the
Sd OF April,thot the official declaration OF
war by France against Spain had been re-
ceiyed by the British government, and
that the French armies were in full march
into the Spanish territory. This intel,-
gence, however, was not relied on. the

Gov.rnmem has received the declara-
ton of w AR BY FRANCE AGAINST
SPAIN, as we'll as the manifes,s Of The
French government on its armies enter
ing Spain. How far ministers may think
proper TO give publicity to these docu-
ments, we cannot pretend to Judge.
The London Globe Of April lst con.
taius an energetic address from four of
the most independent members of the
French chamber of deputies, DArgen.
son, j. Koechlen, q. w. La Fayeue, and
Ed. Bignon, TO their constituents of the
department of the Upper Rhine. None
OF the Partisan journals would venture to
publish it The address says the acts of
the chamber has violated in the person of
one of it's members the independence and
the rights of all, destroyed the electoral
sovereignty OF the people, and. sapped
the fundamental basis upon which all re
preventative government reposes. For
these reasons the signers refused TO give
the sanction OF their assistance TO the acts
of the chamber. They say F." nothing is
more notorious than the multiplicity o!
arbitrary means employed in every part
of France TO prevent the election of men
FIT to compose true representation of
the national rights and interests" The
present composition of the chamber oi
deputies, they declaie, is Unconstitutional
and Illegal.
We would not despair of the cham
her itself, whatever the origin, the form
and the experimentation Of the elements OF
which i, is composed; we have not Weld
ed to the statement which directs MS TO
separate ourselves from its illegal acls
until the moment an incon,cstible proof
that this assembly, az least while il is in
complete, cannot be brought back in,o
the paths of national interest .
You will approve The motives according
20 which we deem il our duty to remove
strangers to the operations OF chamber
which has been mutlated by its owr
hands, and in which The national repre-
sentatioD, even such as It is, has lost lis
integrity.
A bayonnc article OF Nay s5th, states
that king Ferdinand and the royal family
left Madrid for Seville, without any oppo.
siiion or the least sign of reluctance, or
the 10th March. The cortes and the
ministers accompanied the king, but the
permanent deputation remain at Madric
ill the government arrives al its destina'
tioD. One hundred and fifty carriages
compose his malesty's suite, and he wa:
TO travel about or leagues per day.
A corps of royalists were surprised OF
the 9th Of March, at Estesa de Serre, BY
militiamen of Cervera; several were
killed, and the remainder dispersed.
The Royalist, Paul Mirrales, was at
place called CONNIE de Laurens, within
seven leagues of the sea, and had leviet
money and provisions in the neighborins
villages. A detachment Of 400 Cons,i
tutionalists had been sent against hin
but we're repu!sed with loss.
