Some of the French accounts again con
fine Nina 10 isto D'Gfgd, and allow him
only tonr men His iaiiunce was nearly
destroyed aud his successive Insses had 81
ven mortal blow to the Constitutional
cs,isel This does well for the qllidganes
Of Paris. But the Paris Jo0raal deS De-
bats Of the 18th, which we have Just re-
ceited, contains despatch of Marshal
Money, dated 9Th June, in which he men
tons, that the news of the appariiion of
Nina in CrddgHe caused him 10 return
from Granoties, to Vtch, in order 10 take
the necessary measures on that side and
thai he would tx himself at Cerdeden wal
ting for the yetQforeemtats which the
French Minister of War had announced,
and upon the arrival of which he would
make his arrangements to invest BARGE
Iona. The exposition of affairs under the
Bayonne head of the 18th June, is inter
estlns.
We know how 10 appreciate "the good
authority" of the London Courier after its
former allegations under the same sane
ton Its dispositions are shewn in the
phrase Constitutions! faction. The Lon
don papers, the Globe aud Traveller, say
I've learn from good authority that the
person sent TO this country from the new
Regency at Madrid, was dismissed from
the Foreign Office with mere receipt for
the dispatches which he Delivered lie
also waited on the Spanish Minister, Ad-
miral Jabat, TO deliver dispatches from the
Regency, but was dismissed with de-
claratiOn, that Jabat knew el no such body,
and could not receive the communication
which he rendered"
Letters from Paris, received in London,
affirmed that the Spanish COrtcs had pro-
posed TO the Duke D'AnsouIeme to give
up the custody of the king, provided their
personal safety were guaranteed. This is
not worthy Of the least degree of credit !;
calumny as well as bribery formed part
of the French system of aggression. The
refusal of Ferdinand to accompany the
CUrtes, as king, has furnished the British
ministry with a preteXt to withdraw their
countcnauce from that body. As to the
protracton OF the contest, which the Lon
don Courier pronounces impossible, we
can Judge for ourselves on this side Of the
water. Since Saturday, extracts oflettrrs
from intelligent gentlemen at Gibraltar,
have been impaired TO us, that would lead
to different conclusion. One corrrspon-
dent under date of the sd June, al Gbral-
tar says:
" II Is understood that the French army
is approaching 10 the immediate neighbor-
hood of adiz, and that there are several
parties of Spanish soldiers of from one TO
! three Thousand men each, who are ordered
to keep on tie TANKS and rear Of the
French. thiatl the war will continue al
though the French may take 1adiz and
obtain possession of Ferdinand. The
/ Constitutonalist8 would then be termed
rebels, and must resist, as they would have
no hope of mercy from Ferdinand aud his
! advisers"
Under date Of 26th June, the same cor
respondent states, as the report of the day,
| that the French had possession of Here's,
Rota, Port St. Mray's, &c. aud that a
| Spanish fOrce of sixteen thousand men
under Balasteros was expected in the
nrishborhood. Sixty boats laden with
provisions had left Gibraltar far Cadiz, and
some OF them succeeded IN eyading the
blockade. .Ndt. GGz.
