The rumours concerning Spain have been quite as numerous this
week as they were last ; but we rather think they have sprung more from the feeling very universally felt, that something ought to be done there, than from the conviction that anythinc, has been done. The Tudicateur de Bordeaux says, that a Spanish corps of ten thousand men, assembled on the borders, with a view to en- force POLIGNAC'S ordinances, had hoisted the flag of the Cortes as soon as they saw the tri-colour flying over the heads of their French neighbours, and marched off to the capital. There is surely some mistake here : among all their atrocities, the Cortes never, that we remember, changed the national flag, like the terrible Deputies of France ! General MINA is said to have left town for Spain ; but this rumour is, we believe, no better founded than is the advance on Madrid of the ten thousand.
