the king could only De approached by his mi

was preparing to- make an attack upon the

city-and no hombardment from so respectful

Spanlards.-The French speak with charac-

previous reports.-Riego has reached Malaga
from Cadlz; yet the French represent the

we suspect, are faIse.-Hlina still keeps Money

the Regency, who had commenced "a reign Of
terror, and shown sangunary propepsiiies
which the Duke foresaw would stir up the

this decree into effect at Bilboa produced great
indignation against the French. Similar dis
