" ' With great satisfaction I learned that they were only about half an hour's march from that town. Without a mo ment's delay I set off in pursuit of the band, having divided my troops into two columns, commanded by Lieutenants Don Salvador Garcia and Don Carlos Mondelis. In a short time we had the pleasure of coming up with the band, and routing and dispersing it. We killed a great many, though I cannot state their number until to-morrow, when I shall go with some peasants from this town to Fornoles to reconnoitre the field. The number of killed must, no doubt, have been considerable ; of that the blood-stained bayonets and swords of our troops afford sufficient evidence. On our part, we have not suffered in the slightest degree. Had we not been impeded by the rugged nature of the ground, I believe not one of the enemy would have survived to tell the tale of his disaster ; such is the ardent desire manifested by our troops to extirpate the ene mies of Queen Donna Isabel. We have taken two prisoners, a horse, and several arms, rations, and cloaks. T o - morrow I will transmit to your Excellency a detailed account of the re sults of this affair.' " I call your Excellency's attention to the good conduct of Captain Soravilla, who, since he has been under my orders ,has distinguished himself by talent, activity, and zeal.

"The Most Excellent Senor Augustin Nogueras." SEVILLE, Aug. 27.—We have before us several official pa pers relative to a conspiracy which took place in Murcia on the 13th instant. The leader of it, in whose house several of the conspirators met, was a man named Antolin Minuguez, attached to the Guard of the Finance Board. This man and his son, accompanied by some others, were the first to raise the cry of sedition in the Plaza del Pilar, at the same time wounding two citizens who were passing peaceably through it. In consequence of this act of rebellion, which was likewise manifested in other parts of the town, the battallion of the Urban Militia and company de Seguridad were place under arms, and their first fire routed the rebels, and obliged them to retreat into the house of Minuguez, whence they continued to fire through the windows. Minu guez was killed in the conflict, and the rest of the party sur rendered ; tranquillity was then restored. The rebels had one killed and two wounded; and of the Queen's party there were one killed and four wounded, including those who were treacher ously attacked by Minuguez previous to the conflict, which took place at a late hour of the night. BILBOA, AUG. 24.—The Pretender, Don Carlos, has been in this province also, performing his pilgrimage, or pursuing his knight-errant course. It is said that he came for the pur pose of swearing under the oak of Guernica to maintain the Biscayan privileges. However, he no sooner arrived at Guer nica than he was obliged to fly precipitately, in consequence of learning that the Commandant-General of Guipuscoa, Don Gaspar de Jauregui, was advancing on that point. Soon after Don Carlos cared in the town of Lequeitio, where he or. dered Te Deum to be sung—not most assuredly for his victo ries. The priests were in their robes, ready for the ceremony, when the approach of the Queen's troops was announced, and they all fled in dismay. The Pretender then wandered in dif ferent directions, endeavouring to regain Navarre, where it appears, after passing over rocks and heaths, he has arrived, pursued by the troops under General Rodil. • PROJECTED RAILROAD FROM BOULOGNE TO AMIENS, PARALLEL WITH THE COAST FROM ABBEVILLE (From La Boulonnaise.) Since last week the important question of this railroad has made gigantic progress. On Tuesday the Chamber de Commerce met for information upon it, and such was the confidence produced by their examination, that they unani mously decreed, Ist—That the Chamber would give a reward of one thousand francs to the author of the best statistical descrip tion of the proposed line of road. 2nd—That they would invite the Chambers of Amiens and Abbeville to vote a sum for the same object. 3d—That the towns of Boulogne, Montr.euil, Abbeville, Amiens, and the principal localities through which the road was intended to pass, should also be invited to join their efforts with those of the Chamber. 4th—That Government, also, on its part, should be re quested to have th e same li ne exam i ned. sth—And that th e a d m i n i strat i on of Highways and Bridges" sho u ld b e requested to communicate to t h e Cham ber all the i n f orma ti on t h ey had acquired upon t h e pro j ect of the canal from the Liane to the Somme, which it is pro °posed shall follow in a parallel direction with the railroad. As may be seen, the Chamber could not have been more active, and has done all in its power in furtherance of the project. No more important question could possibly draw its attention ; for by this, the present prosperity of the town will be secured, its industry developed, and its trade considerably augmented. All these vital questions are united in this project ; it will be the very life of Boulogne. But it would have been little if the interests of Boulogne had only been at stake ; but, by singular good fortune, Go vernment also, and commerce in general, find their advan tage in it. It is not one of those gigantic works which sometimes frighten the speculator, and often stay the most bold and determined engineer. The whole road (twenty six leagues and a half) will need no subterraneous psssages, no viaducts, no embankments ; and the communication be tween London and Amiens will be shorter and easier than at present ; add to this that the lands to be purchased are of little value, and you will have a tolerable idea of the ad vantages of the project. Where else could be found a more direct line, attended with less expense, and more certain be nefits? A recent event has also conspired to give it strength— the Company of Fremicourt, who have been boring the earth at Fergues, have found coal at the depth of seventy five feet. This discovery is of the happiest augury for our town, and as we have just said, considerably increases the importance of the railroad project. The transport of coal, of marble, and of iron, these are surely sufficient to render a railroad a matter of absolute necessity for our town. What gave rise to that of St. Etienne ? The transport of coal and iron, now we not only possess these sources of wealth, but being situated on the coast, we are the means of com munication between the two most active and commercial nations of the world. Then calculate the difficulties which were to be encountered by the road of St. Etienne, and the advantage will decidedly be for our project. As soon as the memoirs are ready for the Chamber of Commerce, a subscription will be opened at Boulogne and a Company formed, and French and foreign capitalists will be invited to purchase shares. This Company will after wards join that for forming a railroad from Amiens to Paris, which must necessarily take place, if our project succeed. HINT TO SPORTSMEN.—in carrying loaded guns, care should be taken not to allow the hammer to lie on the cap ; good caps are so easily exploded, that the sli g ht es t pressure will fire them. The safest method is to half cock the gun ; for in that case, if there be any pressure, the only effect which can be produced is the full cocking of th e gun. Even taking off the cap will be found to be ineffectual, as it is well known that the cap, having once been placed on the cone, leaves a portion of its composition there, w hi c h , when suddenly operated on by friction, very frequently explodes. In cases where the cap is taken off for safety, attend to the cone. MADRID, SEPT. s.—We are enabled to state that various Procuradores are getting up a petition for the purpose of pointing out to her Maj.sty a subject which calls for the at tention of the Estate—viz., the prolonption of the civil war which afflicts the provinces of the north, and the importance of putting as speedy an end as possible to it. For this purpose, they offer to her Majesty all the co-operation which the Go vernment may judge necessary, and all the assistance which it is in the power of the Estate to afford. This frank and op portune offer does much honour to the petitioners and all their colleagues ; and this voluntary proceeding on the part of a popular estate on such a vital subject cannot fail to give energy to the executive power and to public opinion. DESPATCHES RECEIVED AT THE WAR-OFFICE, The Captain-General of New Castile writes under the date of the Ist instant to this department as follows : " The Commandant-General of Toledo writes yesterday to inform me that he had received a despatch from Brevet Cap tain Andres Pelaez commanding the small column in pursuit of the rebel band which is wandering about in the mountains, stating that he had taken in Molinillo two of the said band, on whom military execution was immediately inflicted." The Captain-General of Arragon communicates the follow ing : " HEAD -QUARTERS OP OPERATIONS, ON TILE BIGHT BANK OF THE GUADALOPE. " Most Excellent Senor,—Lieutenant- Colonel Don Vicente Soravilla, captain of the 13th Regiment of the line, command ing a disposable column of the troops under my command, sends me under date of the 25th a despatch, - of which the fol lowing is a copy : • " I have that honour to acquaint you, that having learned last night that the band of the rebel Quilez, composed of be tween 80 and 90 men, had taken the direction of Cebollero and Canadilla—accordingly, I this morning marched. in the direction of those towns, and having passed through them both, I learned that the rebels had been in Canadilla at half-past ten on the previous night, and that after having pro cured rations, they had proceeded to Belmonte.

In this uncertainty I resolved to proceed with my column to Fornoles, to endeavour to discover their retreat. PRICES OF STOCKS TFth Rank Stock abut 3 per Cent. Red. 3 per Cent.

The speeches of the LORD CHANCELLOR in reply ,o the various testimonies of respect, confidence, and gratitude paid to him by the inhabitants of Aberdeen, give the lie direct to all the calumnious insinuations which for months past have been raised against him. Not a leg have his enemies now left to stand on, though judging from their past conduct, we have little doubt that—notwithstanding their helpless and hopeless con dition—they will continue their attacks to the last, like old WINNINGTON, of Chevy-chase notoriety, Who when his legs were both knocked off Set-to upon his stumps." The LORD CHANCELLOR is too eminent a man, both in rank and talent ; stands too high in the confi dence of his SOVEREIGN, to which he alludes more than once, in a spirit of just and manly pride ; is too thoroughly appreciated by his countrymen, of whom, for thirty years, through evil and through good report, at all times and under all circumstances, he has been the staunch, undeviating, unwearied benefactor ;—.his Lordship, we repeat, stands too prominently out in the world's eye ; is too richly and variously gifted with all those qualities of head and heart, which constitute greatness, for envy to let go her hold of him without a desperate struggle. No, no ; she will keep her bull-dog grasp on him to the last. While, therefore, we have no idea that anything his Lordship says, will satisfy the petty, yelping squad of his interested traducers, we feel persuaded that all whom it is worth while to convince, will be convinced by his remarks. Alluding to the attacks made on him for his conduct in the Warwick business, his Lord ship says, " When I saw a Bill come up from the Commons to disfranchise so many hundred electors of a burgh, because nineteen were proved, upon evidence which was of the most inconclusive and ragged na ture, to have received bribes, and when I saw this Bill abandoned by the Noble Lord who had taken charge of it at first, and who is well known to be a staunch friend of the people, and the enemy of every thing like corruption—Lord RADNOR, I mean—when saw the Bill given up by him, and when I saw him get up and say that he approved of, and agreed with, every one word that I had said, and although there are persons who kindly choose to charge me with in consistency on this subject, avowing this on his legs, I said that to pass such a Bill was impossible. The House of Commons did not examine witnesses on oath : the witnesses told the House of Commons one thing, because they were on oath, and another thing to the House of Lords, because they were sworn—for the House of Lords could not decide upon hearsay evidence. But I detain you too long with trumpery matter of this sort.—(No, no ; Go on.) What wish to state is, that I sat on that Warwick Bill as a judge in the chair of the House of Lords, to decide upon oath—and contrary to all my inclinations, which were in favour of the Bill, I decided according to my conscience, against my sentiments, against my preju dices, and in favour of my political adversaries, and Lord Warwick, 'with whom I was not even personally acquainted." What now becomes of all the noisy jargon about his Lordship's inconsistency and so forth, with which the Arch-thunderer of the Press has been diversifying its columns for weeks past ? It is clear that Lord BROUGHAM had no option in the Warwick affair. He sate "as a j u d ge i n t h e cha i r of the House of Lords," and was bound to decide ac cording to his conscience in " favour of his political adversaries," and not according to his inclinations, against them. Had he acted, otherwise ; had he given a partial, instead of an impartial, decision, though as a politician he might have been held blameless, as a Chancellor he would have sunk in public estimation for ever. What client would ever have sued 'for justice at the hands of such a man ? What lawyer would ever have thought it . worth w hil e to p l ea d i n hi s C ourt , when he knew that i n exact proport i on to t h e j ust i ce of his case, the chances would be against him ? By sinking the politician in the judge, Lord BROUGHAM has acted in a way to ensure him the unlimited confidence of the country. The whole affair was a pit-fall, into which his enemies fondly hoped and be- r' . tiev •° s" - > " ZT (11n. " The people are getting knowledge cheap, and the booksel lers have attacked Lord Althorp and me, and, by making books cheap, we have brought all the booksellers on our backs. They abuse us as much as they can for making books cheap— they say we should make them dear and choice. They quarrel with us—we don't quarrel with them. There is a storm brewing, AN hiCh, I foresee, will end in a serene sky— time will show. Let them go on in their way, and we will go on in ours. We shall not prevent them by pevsonal abuse, but there is a little bird whispers in my ear, that a day is com ing when the newspapers will not make men's opinions for them. Some people say that my opinions on this subject are visionary and speculative, but there is nothing speculative and visionary in the d4Terence between 7ld and 3d—The same little bird whispers that a few months perliaps will show if there be." It is gratifying to note the signs of the times as evinced in the reception that Lords BROUGHAM and GREY are now everywhere meeting with in their pro gress through Scotland. The one is hastening down to Edinburgh, from the North—the other is advancing towards it from the South —and both are received with the same heart-felt, enthu siastic welcome. At every stage of their journey, the whole intelligence, wealth, and respectability of the district turn out to " pay them honours due." Yet these are the men who have been represented as so unpopular We have given in another part of The Sun the debate in the Chamber of the Spanish Procuradores or Deputies, which took place on the discussion of the second article of the Bill of Rights during the sittings of the 4th and sth inst. The express arrived on Saturday, as we were going to press, so that we had only time to learn the announcement of the defeat of Ministers on the proposition establishing the free dom of the Press without previous censorship, and the spirit in which they received such a manifestation of public opinion. The debate is replete with much information, and taken altogether displays intelligence of a kind for which Spaniards have hitherto obtained little credit. We refer to it with pride, and feel confi dent it will be read with pleasure. The speech of M. M. DE LA ROSA was the echo of tyranny in every age and country, « Is there not liberty enough ?" And it must be a source of exulta tion to the Reformers of England, that in Spain, such a question was replied to by a negative which shook the Cabinet to its centre. The ge neral opinion, however, which prevailed in Madrid was, that Ministers would not resign in conse quence of their defeat, but would adopt the recommendation of the Chamber in the new law for regulating the freedom of the press, which is now being drawn up. It is . even said that some members of the Cabinet, including TORENO, were happy at the defeat they experienced, as they were pri vately opposed to the censorship, though they wanted the courage to avow opinions which would have procured their dismissal from office. At all events the Ministers appeared unruffled, when the announce ment of the triumph of the liberal opposition was made known, and it is more than probable that after being thrice defeated, they will learn to square their future conduct more in conformity with the spirit of the Chambers. We have received by express the Paris papers of Saturday, with intelligence from Bayonne of the 10th instant. The Moniteur states that there has been a full confirmation of the truth of the rumours respecting the defeat of the rebels near Bergara, and that RODIL left Tolosa on the 10th, to form a junction with Es- PARTERO, to intercept the insurgents in the vicinity of Ascaitia. The war is still carried on on the part of Don CARLOS, in such a manner as to protract its continuance for the longest possible period. General RODIL has had 350,000 francs sent to him from Bayonne for the payment of the soldiery. The King of the FRENCH is at present with his family sojourning at Compeigne. We have much pleasure in directing general atten tion to an advertisement in another column, embody ing the resolutions passed at a public meeting of the inhabitants of Bath, on the subject of the projected Basing, Bath, and Bristol railroad ; and also to a paragraph from a French journal respectin g the measures adopted by the Chamber of Commerce for carrying on a similar line of cotnmunication from Boulogne to Amiens, parrallel with the coast from Abbeville. We do not refer to the projection of these works as local benefits to certain districts, neighbour hoods, and cities, so much as we do to them as signs of a growing disposition on the part of the people to promote whatever has a tendency to increase the general welfare —to multiply the facilities of commerce —to lighten the burthens of the oppressed portion of the community — an d to add length as well as comforts to human life. This is the point from which we view them, and the prospect is as cheering—as full of the seeds of myriads of untold blessings—as rich in the pro- lieved he would tumble. He has not done so, consequently their rage and disappointment are un bounded. Lord BROUGHAM speaks in just, manly, but by no means exaggerated, terms of the two Houses of Parliament, explaining away all that might have ap peared inconsistent in his remarks an these points at the close of the session ; and adding, " My opinions agree more with the opinions prevalent in the House of Commons, than with the opinions of the House to which I, unfortunately for myself, belong." Surely this is anything but the language of a " luke-warm Reformer !" Nothing here evinces a tendency to Con servatism, which is one of the most prom ninent among the charges lately brought against his Lo rdship. The language is that of a bold, uncompromising Reformer ; yet bold and uncompromising within the pale of the con stitution. In the same downright, candid spirit, Lord BROUGHANI disposes of another accusation preferred against him—namely, of having intrigued to overthrow Lord GREY. So far was he from having , done any thing of the sort,—so far from having even dreamed of any such meanness—that Lord ALTHORP and him self were actually the two who most desired and in sisted on, the continuance of Earl GREY in office : - - ------ • - " With respect to the attacks which have been made on Lord Althorp and myself with regard to Lord Grey's retire ment from office, I shall not say one word at present, but the day of retribution is approaching. I have let them go on— they have gone on---the net is closing around thera, and soon will they be held up to ridicule—(Cheers)—and. to punish ment._-( Renewed cheering.) It might have happened other wise. I might have considered it my duty to . tv.sh for Earl Grey's retirement ; but had I done so, I am not the man to shrink from the avowal.__( Cheers.) I would have told him self so in the first place, and I would have told the King in the second place, and I would have told Parlianaent and my country in the third place. But there was no such motive, to such wish, and no such occasion. Lord Althorp and I were the two who wished most of all to avert the calamity of Lord Grey's resignation.—(Cheers.) Speaking incidentally of his efforts to obtain the blessings of cheap knowledge for the people, Lord BROUGIIAM takes the opportunity of throwing out a hint which a certain Morning contemporary will be at no loss to misunderstand. It seems we are to have cheap " thunder" in future—an innovation on its long established monopoly of that article, which will occa sion Printing-House Square a world of perplexity and tribulation : shut 8% 8 9% miss of national prosperity, as any which we have ever contemplated.
