ri defeat. Bazan was marching to the relief of va


advancing or retreating, he's formed the resolution
of cutting his way through the rebel army, when
putting himself at the head OF his little band and
giving orders 10 take no prisoners but slay ALL with
the customary Eva OF Long live the Constitution -
rushed In among the enemy, who, surprised and as
tonished al the acts of gallant intrepidy became
panic struck and broke into confusion. To use Col.
Bazan's own words, he and his men killed until they
were literally fatigued, pursuing the enemy nearly
to Muyredo. 600 oil the rebels were killed and left
on the field, among them 8 Frars $50 made prs-
oners, being wounded badly; 1890 stands of arms
pieces artillery and ammunition taken. The gal
liant Bazan arrived in Valencia on the same night Of
his victory, about O'Clock, where he was received
IN triumph, and the city brilliantly illuminated. p
Alter so gallant an exploit as this, no way
surprised that the Duke d'Angouleme should fee
some hesitation in advancing farther into the coun-
try without force sufficient to resist similar at
tacks.
| The Bayonne papers inform US, that the Cons,i
tutional corps under the Count Absbal and Gen
Morilo, amounting to 40 900 men were about to
unite, and to offer battle to Marshal Oudinot, II lille
Ballestercs was to keep in check the ps of Gen
Molitor Were we to credit every thing we see in
the French papers, we would be compelled 10 be-
lieve that Moro and Baasteros were nearly de-
serted o. troops; and we shall likely, be amused
with stories OF this nature until we receive intelli
gence from another source of what is going on in
the peninsula The little which now and then trans
pres, independent of the French accounts, iuclines
US to believe that the cause OF legitimacy" is not
gong on so prosperonsly as some would have us to
think and we are strengthened IN this opinion on
observing the anxiety with which the London Cou-
rier states what it considers fact " that Russian
army is undoubtedly assembling in the Duchy of
Warsaw" but, continues the editor, 6 whether to
be used for the purpose of overawing France in the
absence OF her soldiers, or as a body OF troops
to Join the French IN Spain, we cannot pretend 10
say" From this it might be inferred, at least, that
ldpprehensonS were entertained among the crowned
heads, of failure in their designs against Spain or
OF some Reaction in France, should the government
of Louis be left alone in the struggle. Accounts
from Vienna, of recent date mention, that the COM
munications between that Court and St. Peters
Eburgh had again been actively resumed and adyices
from Lausanne repeat that the Austrian troops,
which were about to evacuate Italy, had unexpect
Iedly halted on the frontiers OF LombardY. From all
this concludes the Courier &c we think it requires
no extraordinary sagaciy to presage the coming
events. Or, in other words, that Russia and Aus
tra, agteeably to the pledge already given, finding
that the overthrow OF liberal principles IN
Itaking OF too great a magnitude to be accom-
Iplished by France, had determined on bringing into
the field their immense legions. This we foresaw
bllity of the French armies invading Spain and
when we now observe the preparation making in
Englan and in several northern ports 10 the
ocean with numerous fleets, it may, we think, be
presumed that the flames of war are on the eve Of
spreading throughout all Europe.
A French paper estimates the whole force inva
ding Spain at 81 ,000-60,000 on the side of Bay
onne, and 81 900 under Money at Perpignan. OF

investment of ST. Sebastian and Pampeluna.
Some of the French papers state that the Duke
d'Angoueme offered the Governor Of San Sebastian
bride Of 100000 francs to surrender the fortress,
which he accepted, fingered the cash, and when the
French troops advanced, fired upon them, and xiii
led about $50. The money received was immed
ately sent to the Cortes.
On the whole the intelligence is decidedly favora
bic TO the good cause OF free principles, and the right
Of self-government. N. L. Statesman.
Summons addressed to the Commander of Figue-
ras, by Marshal Money, April %.
The Marshal Of France commanding in Chief the
Fourth Corps Of the Eastern Pyrenees.
In the name of His Catholic Majesty Ferdinand
VII. Considering the disposition Of the Spanish
people, and the reception with which the troops un
der our command are hailed every where on theit
passage; considering that the first duty--the first
sentiments of the noble and generous minds who
direct the movements Of the royal army, is to ap-
pease the animosties which spring from revolutions
to unite in submission to their sopereigns all misled
Spaniards, and thus to spare the efusiun Of preci
Gus blood, invite the Governor of Figueras to sur
render that fortress to the combined royal armies of
France and Spain.
The act in which The Governor Of FIgueras will
find all the guarantees which he desire, is the
subjoined proclamation to the Spaniards, by his
Royal Aighness the Duke Of Angouleme. The
Spanish colours will continue 10 float on the ram
parts of Figueras. The confidence OF the Governor
towards the royal army in this conlunctule, cannot
lin the least wound the laws Of honor. Il viii be en-
