FRANCE AND SPAIN.
The ruInuiRs from Liverpool yesterday, of
a more pacific appearance OF Affairs, we deem
,r,founded. From source on which reli-
aoce may be placed, We learn that the first
division of the French army, under Oudinot,
would cross the Bidassoa on the 9th OF April,
naIess prevented by the inclemency of the
weather, which at the last dates had been wet,
cold and tempestuous. This division would
be supported by that of the centre, command
ed by the Prince OF Hohenloe. No declara-
ton Of war was contemplated by the French
government but exclamation of their in.
ienton to restore the King to his just rights,
and 10 enable that portion of the Spanish ma
ton who are attached to the monarchy TO
France, would probably be published on cross
ing the Pyrences. The great difficulty with the
French Royalists, as we'll as those oil Spain, is
how 10 dispose OF Ferdinand, who is, with
common consent, looked upon as unfit for any
purpose, and the recent death of Don Louis of
bourbon, archbishop of Toledo, leaves them
without any one of the blood royal able TO fill
the throne. The war against Spain is in Paris
emphatically styled the Russian war, and Po2-
20 di Borgo, the Ambassador of Alexander,
has been unremiting in urging the French
government 10 undertake it, All the atien-
ton OF the government seemed 10 be bestow-
ed GU the army, which, Notwithstanding con
irary accounts, is said to be lavshly supplied
with clothing and provisions, and to be regu-
larly paid, n. Y. american.

FRANCE.
NEW YoRK, May 5.--By the arrival of
the ship Lewis, in 80 days from Havre, we
have received our files of Paris papers TO
the 2lst of March, two days later than had
reached London at our last dates.
A letter from Bayonne mentions, that, on
account of some orders recently given by
the French officers, an invasion is not to be
expected before the beginning of May
BY the latest accounts from Spain, the ar
my of the faith is represented as having
suffered severely in several points from the
constitutional forces, and it would seem
that their prospects are becoming daily
more discouraging on both sides of the Spa
nlsh line. The probability is that the
French will he permitted to march to Ma
dfid without opposition, and then be assai-
ed on all hands by the guerllas, far from
holne, and in the midst of !; barren tract of
country. The Spanrards seem TO have
before their eyes the example Of the Rus
slams when they were invaded by Napo-
leon. nv. Y. DAILY .4dr.
A Nantes Gazette states that General
DevilIiGrs, who commands that division,
has received orders TO arm the coasts as
promptly as possible. The arming OF the
