The lieutenant general, commanding the 7th military
district, and the prefect of tjie department of Isere, (Dau-
J tline) inform the inhabitants that a telegraphic des
patch, edited the 6th, gives them the following instruc
tions.
“The department of Isere must be considered in a
state of seige. The civil and military authorities have a
discretionary powsr.”
According to'ut(breclamation in seven articles of the
prefect of'the same department, a general disarmament
of its inhabitants was to take place under the penalty of
death, as those that should conceal arms or ammunition
would be considered as accomplices in the rebellion
Which broke out on the night of the 4th of May, by a
vigorous t' ck on thefortified town of Grenoble, capi
tal of their department.
The lame magistrate intimates to the inhabitants that
■the rebels have been defeated; however, he Says, the de
partment legion is in pursuit of them.
The dis..rjTK..nent of the inhabitants of the department
of Pus de Calms, has been also ordered, under the same
penalties.
The inhabitants of the departmantde L’Aisne, are de
nounced by the royai newspapers as being unfavorable
to government.
The permanent council of war of the 16th military di
vision, sitting it Lille, has condemned, on the 5th of May,
general Ciuiriran to death, for having accepted in March
and April, 1815, t mission, the object of which was tj.
destroy the king’s government in the south of Trance.
Another article of the same paper, mentions tiie arriv
al in Pans of colonel La Caive, chief the staff the ISth
military division (Lyon) on an important mission.
National guards.are reported to be still in movement
from Lyons to Grenoble.
. A .Swiss regiment, garrisoned in Rcsuncon, has been
ordered to the same place.
The following paragraph, extracted from the same pa
per, m.,y give a g ood idea of the fright the royal Lys
feels at the sight of the imperial eagle, under whatever
color it shows itself. It expresses itself as follows: The
legion of die department de L’Aisne on its way to Paris,
halted at Boiiryet. Some solcjicrs perceiving a peasant
partly dressed in military clothes, remarked him close
enough to observe that his spatterdashes were fastened
with buttons sn,mped with eagles: they immediately seiz
ed him, and were in tiie act of conducting him before
their colonel, when the pe sunt found the means of ef
fecting his escape, by abandoning tne horse lie was rid
ing—..n officer of the police who was present, immedi
ately despatched after the runaway his agents: liis name
is known, and he will certainly be arrested. "

Our differences with the United States are about as
suming a serious character, in consequence of the refu
sal of the American government, to restore provisional
ly that part of Florida which is the s ibject of our demand.
It will be recollected th .t Bonaparte, obtaining Louis
iana bv his partizaas in the then Spanish ministry, sold
that vast province to the United States for sixteen mil
lions of dollars. Our present government does not
mean to contest the validity of that sale; but it desires to
lose nothing but Louisiana, itself. The United States
consider, on the contrary, part of West Florida as being
united to tile government of Louisiana, and following
the condition of the principal province. Mr. Jefferson',
tlie former president of the L'nited States, declared that
4-his difference should be the subject of a negotiation: but
Mr. Madison thought that he could negociate more ad
vantageously after having Liken possession of the object
in dispute. This usurpation met With success during the
troubles of Spain. Now we reclaim the territory which
belongs to us, in the most amicable manner. Instead of
negotiating, the American government declares it will
keep the territory. Here then is the commencement of
a rupture. It is doubtless very disagreeable to us to see
ourselves menaced with u war by the United States, at
a time when we have to combat the insurgents of Buenos
Ayres and the Caraccas. We hate no allies against the
United States; we calculate on die energy and justice of
our cause.
[Note.—Spain reclaims what does not belong to her;
she has no “justice” to calculate upon; her “energy”
will avail her nothing in a contest with us, and she will
take care not to commence such a contest. The “insur
gents” of the Sp..nisii provinces are patriots, and merit,
as we hope they will finally secure, full success.—Bal
timore Patriot.

To prevent the difficulties which have often arisen,

tiie different diplomatic agents, the plenipotentiaries of
