BAYONNE, Jan. 1O.--We have news from
Madrid of the 5,h, which is interesting, and may
be expected daily to be more so.-The Spanish
c9unter-rcVoiuton was conducted with address,
and no sacrifice spared to make il succeed at all
points on the approach of the French. Tho
Monks showed their skill in exciting tho
movement; but they have not been able to con-
troi it. In vain they would check the impulse
given To the Populacc of town and the country.
They arc themselves carried away by the
torrent, without knowing where it will Stop
In the midst of the of blood their appear
ance has more the magic influence which
formerly suspended the danger of the assassins
and Dispersed them ut the sight of a crucfx:
they are now despised and insulted by the as
sassins whom they have armed, unless they en-
courage their crimes, by preaching that eyery
thing Is lawful against the Liberals, and that it
Is serving God and the king to exterIninate
them. On all sides are heard complaints and
lamentations over the fate of victims sacrificed to
party spirit, and more frequently TO private re-
venge and to the irresistible propensity to rob-
bing and pillage.
There Is physician, whom requisition and
contributions, demanded ON the entrance of the
Royallsts, have entirely ruined; confined in Il
dungeon, from which he is not released till after
the expiration of some months, because his skill

OF the Chiefs of the party. Happy at having
succeeded, he thinks himself secure from far.

unfortunate father of a family, who having beer

standing the Conventions, which promise secn-
rty for persons and property, the possessions of
those are conflscated who fly to avoid imprison-
ment or death. AT Valencia the prisons are
full, and new places of confinement are getting
ready. The arrival OF the Archbishops in that
city, far from calming the peoples minds has
been the signal for new prosecutions. The CT
" OF Allcant has initiated this criminal exam
pie, and two hundred liberals have been arres-
ted. Many landholders sell their estates and
emgrate to foreign countries; the merchant imi-
tatcs their example; at Madrid the principal hou.
ses are hquidating their accounts.
MADRID, Jan. lit is agreed that there ex
ISIS a secret treaty between France and Spain,
but the principal basis of it are not known
only the assistance, on the direct and indirect
means are spoken of, which France is TO furnish,
to reconquer part of the Spanish colonies. II
Is also generally supposed that Ferdinand has
made some ccsslons-only the Balcaric Islands
are mentioned, and it is added that this cession
has excited some disputes with Cabinet which
opposes 1t. The notes of the Ambassadors of
France and Russia with the. Spanish Ministry
cross each other. The two Ambassadors are
on good terms with each other;-but M. de
