PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. from our city, provisions, ammunition, &c. of which the army is in very great want. Several vessels have already sailed for this purpose ; but if we may believe reports that seem to be well founded, armed vessels are &tying to be lent from St. Sebastian, which may pock them u on the way. The fact is, this voyega is so that underwriters ain but be found to insure •it capture. Amoog the multitude of reports, we may notice that of a serious engagement said to have taken place between Villa Real and Tolosa. The Pastor is reported to have , placed an ambush on an eminence near a difficult road, and to have done much mischief among our troops, especially the 23d ; and it is added that Gen. St. Hilaire lost his baggage. St. Sebastian holds oat, and it will probably be necessary to besiege it in form: what most embarrasses tag is the want of horses for the artillery, &c. A considerable number is required (9,000 for the army slime.) It is true that 6,000 are said to have been purchased in the interior; but when will they arrive.? However, the pieces that are bete, and those expected from Toalease, are going to be sent •ef by such means as can be found ; and for this, as has been already dune for prorisiens, all the farmers' horses will be em ployed. This is a great hindrance to the labours of agriculture, which are backward on account of the nature of the season, and may cause a partial failure of the crops this year. An officer'of engineers ar rived yesterday, by express, from head-quarters, to hasten the departure of a train of heavy artillery. Pampeluna is very tranqoil. We have spoken to a person who left it the day before yesterday. Thby expect the French with firmness, especially since 1,700 men have entered the town, bringing cattle with them". This place will stop a part of out troops longer than was expected, and will disappoint those who anticipated that they would go in a body to Madrid, and even tweadis. It seems that a di minution of the force of our army is foreseen, from the necessity of besieging some places, and leaving garrisons in them • for it is said that twenty thou sand men are to b e taker( from the corps•of Marshal Moncey to form •a fifth, whiLh will pass this way. This reduction of Moncey's corps would give room to Mina, and enable him the more easily to execute his plan of suddenly attacking us in the flank on the river Ebro. Ballasteros acts with the same cir cumspection, avoiding every kind of engagement till the proper time shah come. The great news which makes all the adherents of the Faith tremble with indignation, is the arrest of the Trappist by command of the Prince, for having violated his orders, by ill-treating the Constitution alists. The Spanish prisoners taken by Santos La.. dron, and who, according to their account, were betrayed and sold by Col. Sancedo, are at length on the way to Toulouse., The bridge of !run, destroyed in the last war, is to be repaired. The division of Cannel has received orders to proceed to St. Sebastian to take the plaCe of that of Gen. Bourck, which is to go forward. The 3d and sth dragoons arrived here yesterday ; they are weak and badly mounted. An ambassador of the Holy Alliance has just ar rived to the Junta, which is at Orthes. A large English vessel, laden with rice for the army, has arrived here. deliver, and the champion of the holy cause. Tho windows were crowded with male and female speo tators, who waved their handkerchiefs, crying, " Live the Bourbons, the Duke of Angoulerne, attyl France, the worthy supports of oar King." Tbo bells were everywhere ruts& and firewotics were let off in rejoicing far the errival of the French. Carefully attended in their quarters, abundantly supplied with provisions, our soldiers can scarcely believe themselves in Spain. It would seem as if we were entering the towns in the south of France. The head-quarters of the first corps, commanded , by the Duke of Reggio, moved this morning ‘ from Vittoria for Miranda, where the advanced guatd has been fur some days, after having taken several pieces of cannon, which were left spiked at Pancorbo. The course of the Ebro is free: there has been no at tempt to oppose its passage at the bridgetrf Miranda. By accounts receiyed from Pompelunt, we are assured that 'our troops under the command of the Prince of Hohenlohe, the 3d corps, and the Spa nish divisions commanded by Santos Ladron and the Count d'Espagne, blockade that town in such a manner as to give reason to expect its speedy our render. The second corps marches by the way elf Pampeluna on Tudcla. PARIS, APRIL Eh fOtlll O'CLOCK P.Y. Letters were yesterday received from Madrid to the 10th instant: I must premise, hOwever, that they come from a quarter which has all along des ponded. A good deal of ferment is described as trehailing in that capital. The patriotic party had considerabl;• weakened or disorganised by the departure of the Court, the Cortes, and the Militia. Abisbal was exerting himself to the utmost to pre serve order, and inspire confidence; but, viotwith standing all his efforts, the Constitutionalists could not be re-assured, nor the absolute-power Junta suppressed. It is even said thst cries had been even heard in favour of the French, and plots were • I . ' hatching to invite their approach. The affair at Logrono was very serious. The Constitutional troops, being the rear of Ballasteros's army, behaved with great spirit. They first fought in defence of the town without its limits, and when -driven from this position, barricadoed the streets, and fought from the houses. They were at last re pulsed with considerable loss on both sides. The French army of the west will not leave its present position till the sth of May. It is in want of materiel, and waits the success of operations in Catalonia. The Duke d'Angopleme does not cal culate on arriving at Madrid till the 25th of July. The Journal des Debals the other day contained some remarks on the papers lately laid before Par liament, and on the " indiscretion" of exposing some parts of the correspondence to the eyes of the public. The phrases employed have more than a .general meaning, and will no doubt be perfectly un derstood in their application by our Embassy here, .and the Ministry at home. They allude to the fol lowing anecdote, on which you may place complete reliance :—Oa Wednesday or Thursday last, Sir G. S. called upon M. de Chateaubriand as usual, but was not received in the usual manner. The common forms of civility were scarcely concluded, when the •Minister began to reproach the Ambassador in no -very measured language with revealing more to his Court than he was diplomatically bound or autho. sized to do. " You come here," said he, " Sir C., in a forenoon, and, without any official business, • engage me in talk upon political affairs • you then write home to Mr. Canning the result of our con versation, and Mr. Canning chooses to lay your letters on the table of the House of Commons. I beg that this intimacy, so abused, may end; and that, unless upon special business, you only attend any weekly parties along with the other Ambassa dors." So saying, these diplomatic persons closed their political gossip; and Sir C. is not any longer •to be among "the most favoured Ministers." I have not heard how our Minister bore the reproach, or it' it is likely to produce any other effect, either at home or abroad, than saving a little of Mr. Can -nin;;;'s time, and a little superfluous trouble to the Secretary of the Embassy. In consequence of information tbe French Minis ters have received respecting the exigencies of the new Spanish Regency, it has been determined to assign 2,000,000 of francs for the support of their dignity, until they are installed in Madrid. There has been a species of Spaniard-hunting among the police of late, and every Spaniard who refuses to take the oath of allegiance to M. Erro, the Archbi shop of Tarragona, and his ciradjuthrs, ix ordered to quit the kingdom. Two or three days ago, same young men, from Buenos Ayres even, who were placed in an academy in Paris, wore told by their .receptors that they must either swear allegiance to the Spanish Junta, or leave France. They preferred the latter alternative. BAYONNE. INTELLIGENCE. The following are extracts front accounts data the 15th inst. 4— The occupation of Bilboa by the French troops WWI at the request of the inhabitants, who feared that the Army of the Faith would be guilty of ex ces.ses, and a line has been drawn which the troops of the Faith are not to pass.

VITTORIA, APRIL 16.—Marshal the Duke of Reggio has received orders to take position at Bre viesea and Pancorbo.

APRIL 17.---The Duke of Angouleme, who left Mondragon this morning at half past seven, was welcomed with enthusiasm throughout the whole real, and complimented as he passed through the villages on his way. Thu Prince lien stopped to inqu:re into the wants of the soldiers; he is in this manner always kind to those who accompany hint. He arrived at Vittoria at half past two, amidst the warmest demonstrations of joy from the inhabitants, who went out to Li.o -their A letter from Caracas of the 2stb of February states, that a tommunication had been received front Bogota, written by the Minister of the Interior for the Republic of Colombia, giving information that the Congress was not expected to be assembled be. fore that or even the following month, as the depu ties from Quito were not expected to arrive earlier. It appears by accounts received from various parts • of France,. that all letters sent to or from that coun try are opened, so that it behoves persons writing to their filen& to be cautious what they write, least they should involve their correspondents in trouble. All the English newspapers containing tho debates on the neguciationa, on their arrival in France, were immediately, seised and sent to Paris, to prevent ahem from being circulated. The English are be come much alarmed. Several have taken their de . parture fur Ititly, and a great number arc returning home. MENTI, APRIL 10.—All the letters from Vienna still express hopes of peace. and it is generally be lieved there that negotiations wi I be immediately renewed between France and Spain, and that England will act a great part in them. The last note of Mr. Gordon to Prince Metternich contains a declaration of the Cabinet of St. James's, which considers the difference between France and the Peninsula as a dispute between these Powers only, and shows that England would not be inclined t , ► suffer other powers to interfere, unless in a pacific view, being herself determined to take up the de fence of the weaker party, if a certain northern Power should pretend to take anuctive share ; and the Court of Vienna Is said entirely to coincide in those sentiments. Advices of a curious nat.tre. and to the following effect, have been received in the United States from Guatimula.—lt would seem .tuat the province of Salvador, the largest in Guatimala, having been disappointed, in an offer made to the Mexican EGI. pire of becoming incorporated with it, on certain conditions, the local Government there had deter mined to make an offer to be received into the Ame. rican Unioh, and become a section ef the United States, on condition of being placed on equal footing with he other States.
