We have learned for certain that
a decree of his majesty has been sent
to-day to the council of state, which
contains a solemn declaration of war
of the Spanish pation against the
French. Even in this particular, we
have the advantage of that govern-
ment, which has so treacherously or-
f dered ‘an invasion of our territory
. without a formal declaration of war
|. acainst the custom of all civilized na.
| tions.
As soon as the government receiv-
ed notice of the French invasion, they
sent expresses to all the authorities,
commanding them to proceed to hos
tillies against them by all the means
in their power, without omitting any.
We are assared that his majesty
has received the resignation of Don
Sebastian Fernandez Val Jesa, of his
offices of secretary of state and dis-
patch, of grace and justice.
According to inteiligence received
by the government. the war has as-
samed a character entirely national.

The government has officially re-

of our territory by the French; the
political chief magistrate of Burgos,

from Valladolid, express themselves
thus. The French army is preced-
€d by a vanguard of French and Span-

vigorously against the French in the
province of Bilboa, where they retreat

the column of the Frenchified Span-

This was the burden of their whole
