The issue from the Board of Admiralty of the new in structions for Pursers and Surgeons has been for many months past anxiously looked for, and the want of them duly felt. It is hoped the new year will bring them with it. The Minden, 74, Cornwallis, 74, and Portland, 52, at this port, are now nearly complete in their rigging, but no orders have been yet received to put either of these vessels into commission. His Majesty's ship Hyacinth arrived at Port Louis, Isle of France, on the 13th of September, 1633, all well, and sailed for Calcutta the next day. The Talbot was the only man of war at that place, and had been lying there some time. The island is quite tranquil and healthy, and is now annexed to the East India station. Letters have been received from the Rapid, 10, which sailed from Portsmouth on the 20th of October last, with the trial squadron, and arrived at Madeira on the 2d ult. The pilot who took the Rapid through the needles not having returned, some fears were apprehended for her safety, but it appears that the violence of the weather prevented her making this port or Falmouth, and she did not fall in with any vessel on her course, so that the pilot was carried to Madeira, from whence she has just returned. The Melville, 74, was at Trincomalee on the 4th of August, with the flag of Sir John Gore, who was waiting the arrival of the Hyacinth, from England, and the Harrier and Wolf.

Grog Preville took the chair, and addressed the Chamber in the following terms:-- THE RIGHT HONOURABLE the LORDS COMMISSIONERS of the ADMI RALTY hereby give notice, that in future the rotation in which Half-pay will be paid to Officers will be as follows: Ist Class—Pursers, Masters, Surgeons. 2d Class—Lieutenants at ss. and under. 3d Class—Lieutenants at 6s. and 7s. ; and Chaplains. lobes ee, Co! prone! , err grey' lay we Prod Progi! diaposil l advance lged Bs° tide tiol ler in pf 4th Claes—Admirals, Captains, Commanders. It will therefore be necessary, in order to prevent delay and inconvenience to the Officers themselves, that their affidavits should be delivered into the Wages Office, at the Admiralty Office, Somerset-house—or forwarded to the Secretary of the Admiralty—or to their respective agents—as soon as possible after the last day of every quarter. It sometimes happens that Officers apply personally for their half-pay, without having previously sent in their affidavits, as required by the usual advertisement. Any delay or inconvenience to which they might be subject by this oversight it is in the power of the Officers themselves to prevent, by an adherence to the existing regulations. Arrangements are in progress which it is expected will admit of the Payment of Half-pay always commencing on the 10th day after the end of each Quarter, instead of at the uncertain and more distant periods heretofore custo mary—of which, however, due Notice will be given when the next Quarter's Half• Pay is advertised.

THE NATIONAL GALLERY AND NEW RECORD 0 FFlCE.—Arrangements have just been con cluded between his Honour the Master of Rolls and the Secretary to the Record Board, under which the records now at the King's Mews, Charing-cross, will be trans ferred to a new Record-office to be built on the site of the Rolls' garden, so that there will no longer be any obstacle to the progress of the National Gallery. The portion of the Record-office at present intended to be erected will not cost more than 14,000/., which, like the expedses of the buildings for the other Chancery records, will come out of the Suitors' Fund. A Bill will be brought in as soon as Parliament meets to effect this object, and also for the better regulation of the Record-offices, and more especially to give access to the records to literary persons, under certain restrictions, without fee or gratification. This Bill will effeet also a considerable saving to the Consoli dated Fund, as, following up the principle adopted in other cases, it will charge the salaries of the Chancery record keepers and their clerks, and the expenses of repairing the records and making calendars, upon the Chancery funds exclusively. The saving yiill be several thousands per annum, and was first suggested by the Lord Chancellor, in his evidence before the Salaries' Committee. A young lady, or a wealthy family of Bologna, was executed on the 6th inst., for murder. Impelled by jealousy, she succeeded in poisoning two very lovely young women, one of whom was her own cousin. She was married, and suspected her husband of committing infi delities with her two victims. The proceedings against her bad continued for two years, and her husband finding that her fate was inevitable, as there were no hopes of pardon from the Pope, on account of the enormity of her crime, died of despair a very short time before her execution. MAD ITCH .—A disease called the mad itch prevails to a great extent amongst cattle in Indiana. The disease attacks the head, where it causes an intolerable itching, for which no remedy has yet been discovered. The animal keeps rubbing the place against any hard substance till death ensues. A sow, attacked by the di'ease, was found dead with her head in a stream of water, where she had probably drowned herself in endeavouring to obtain relief. Previous to death she had rubbed one ear off.—Baltimore Patriot. EXTRAORDINARY ABDUCTION. —A young and interesting lady, daughter of a chief c onstable of police, who is also a captain on half-pay, lately stationed in the county Clare, and at present in the county Galway, has been recently on a visit at a friend's house near Bruff, in this county, where a young gentleman, a tithe commis sioner, has also been staying. On Saturday night last, after the young lady had retired to her room, it was an nounced to her that her presence was required by the lady of the house ; upon which she left her room, and was in the act of proceeding down stairs, when the young gentle man (the tithe commissioner) seized her is his arms and put her outside the hall door, where two men with their faces blackened, who were in waiting, forced her into a chaise, which was prepared to convey her away. Infor mation of the circumstance was at once given to Major Vukes, who despatched a mounted policeman towards Tipperary, that being the supposed route which the fugi tives took ; but no trace of them could be found, nor have they since been heard of. Shortly after the mounted po liceman arrived in Tipperary, two of the county Tipperary police, who were on duty, returned ; and as one of them was removing the pistol belonging to the policeman who was despatched from this out of the holster, it unfortu nately exploded, and shot his comrade in the cheek. The ball was lodged in the upper part of the head, and little hope is entertained of the sufferer's recovery.—Limerick Herald. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 28.—The following is an extract from the letter of our Mediterranean Correspondent " VOURLA BAY (GULF OF SMYRNA), Nov. 2. " We are expecting the Barham here ; when she arrives, the whole squadron will be united, except a f e w of the smaller cruisers. Our present impression is, that we shall be detached on various services for a short period. It is understood that the Malabar goes to the coast of Italy, and that the rest will be distributed in the lonian Sea, the Archipelago, and the coasts of Syria and E gyp t. We have been fo rsome months here watching events, and nothing worth notice has yet taken place. Constantinople is quiet, but the inhabitants of Samos hold out against the Turks, and the people of Candia do not relish the dominion of Mehemet Ali : that scourge of the human race has, by means of presents to English and French officers, contrived to get himself puffed off in the papers, but, be assured, that he is neither more nor less than a - detestable tyrant. He will never found a Dynasty or consolidate an Empire, for he is equally hated by the inhabitants of Egypt, and those of the provinces he has conquered. The French Admiral is at Smyrna with part of his squadron ; he has lately been dangerously ill of a fever, but is recovering. Our squadron has been upon the whole healthy, though there has been a good deal of dysentery, and a few losses by fever. The Malabar gave a ball at Smyrna to the Cap• tain Bey and the Turkish authorities, at which also were present the French Ad!ntral„_and officers of-the Reeool.-- squadron, the Austrian officers, and all the beauty and fashion of the place." It appears to be necessary, for the information of some of our readers, to state, that the indications which appear if warlike preparations directed towards Turkey, would seem to have been excited by the ratification of the treaty which the Porte made with Russia in July last, by which it will be the duty of Russia to come to the aid of the Sublime Porte whenever " a case of need shall occur, and the Porte then engages that it will close the Straits of the Dar danelles, that is to say, it will not permit the entrance of any foreign vessels, even under any pretence whatever." It has been proved too frequently within a few years past, that the Grand Seignor is incapable of defending him self against the attacks of either foreign or domestic enemies. This point being indisputable, and that, under this treaty, it will be the duty of Russia to come to his aid whenever a case of need shall occur, there is every reason for believing that such cases will happen fre quently ; until, in the end, it will be found easier for Russia to take sole charge of the Ottoman empire than to act under a power of attorney from the Sultan. The issue of this connection between these two Powers can hardly be considered as even doubtful. Extract of a letter from an officer of his Majesty's ship Hyacinth, dated Mauritius, September 12 :—" We ar rived here on the 3d instant from England, last from Rio Janeiro, whence we had a very good passage. We passed the Cape of Good Hope on the 9th August; the wind blowing a-head of us, prevented our making for that port. The Talbot, 28, Captain Dickenson, is the only ship of war here ; she has been lying in Port Louisa Harbour for protection. The Undaunted, 46, Captain Harvey, from the Cape of Good Hope and Trincomalee, and the Alligator, 28, Captain Lambert, from Pondicherry, arrived at Madras on the '7th August. The Curacoa, 28, Capt. D. Dunn, and Harrier, 18, Commander Vassal, were at anchor in Negapore Roads at that date. The Magicienne, 28, Captain Plumridge, is daily expected here to relieve the Talbot, when she will proceed to the Cape and Eng land. Having undergone a speedy refit, we sail to morrow for Trincomalee and Calcutta, having despatches both for the Commander-in_Chief (Sir John Gore) and the Governor-General (Lord W. Bentinck). The ship's company are healthy." We are gratified to learn, by a letter which we have received from an officer of his Majesty's ship Curlew, that the desperadoe Master of the Panda piratical vessel, which the Curlew some time since captured, has been surrendered by the native authority at Cape Lopez, and 683 dollars, which he plundered from a Mexican brig. We subjoin an extract from the letter :•••••• " His Majesty's ship Curlew, off Cape Lopez, Oct. 1. " We arrived here on the 18th ult., from a cruise, in search of slave traders, having fallen in with the Isis, 52, Captain Polkinghorne, off the Bonny, where she is still cruising. My last informed you of our capture of a pi ratical vessel, the Panda, up the river Nazareth, and of the escape of the Captain and two of his crew. I have now the gratification to state, that we have succeeded in reco vering them. As we approached Cape Lopes on the 18th, we hoisted Spanish colours, upon which the King of the settlement (the same who before refused to deliver them up), not aware of us, sent his son and two other natives off to the ship to trade. On their coming on board we made them prisoners, telling them that they would be detained until Don Pedro, the Captain of the Panda, and the two Spaniards, were delivered up. They consequently sent on shore and acquainted the King with their situation, requesting him to send the men off. A flag of truce was thereupon despatched to the ship, with a note from the King to Captain Trotter, telling him, that if he would send his boat ashore for the men, he should have them. Captain Trotter went on board himself, with his boat's crew, and on landing perceived a crowd at a small dis tance, and in the centre Don Pedro. Captain Trotter immediately drew his sword, rushed up to him, and suc ceeded in bringing him to the boat. The other men were sent off the next day, and our prisoners were released. We received only 683 dollars from Don Pedro (which will be returned to the Mexican, the brig he plundered), but the villain told us that he had buried 5,000 more at about 20 miles from Cape Lopez. We accordingly proceeded thither, and Captain Trotter despatched the cutter, with Lieut. Mason (acting) to search the place, when, to his disappointment, the treasure had been removed, but the ground had evidently only just been dug up. The other piratts of the Panda whom we captured, are at Fernando Po, but whether these will be taken there is uncertain. The Britomart, 10, Lieut. Quin, has not arrived yet ; when she does we sail direct for England." The Britomart arrived at Ascension on the 12th of October, from the Cape, on her way to Sierra Leone. On Thursday, the Sparrow, Lieut. Riley, arrived from Lisbon ; and the Racehorse, 18, Captain Cotton, sailed for Falmouth and Plymouth, to be paid off at the latter port. On Sunday last arrived at the Motherbank, the schooner Prudence, J. Patterson, jun., reaeter, from Chisme, in Turkey, laden with fruit, bound to London, in distress, having encountered a gale of wind on the 16th instant, which carried away her foreyard and sail, and shipped a sea, which washed away part of her bulwarks, binnacle, and completely swept the decks. She spoke on the 3d instant, off Malaga, the Antelope, of Jersey, from Tarragona, bound to Rio Janeiro, all well. The Prudence left at Chisme the Lightning, Legett, and William Malvey, Canney, loading fruit, for London. The Prudence pro ceeded on Wednesday for the Thames. On Monday, the American - ship Sarah and Caroline, Russell master, from Havre, board to New Orleans, arrived here. The Romney, with the depot companies of the 51st and 94th regiments on board, sailed from Portland Roads, on Wednesday, for Cork. The Conway arrived at Pernambuco from Bahia, on the 2d of November; the Arachne at Barbadoes from St. Vincent, Nov. '7. The Prince George from London for Bombay, and Charles Eaton for Van Diemen's Land, put in here yesterday, with foul wind. The Lynx schooner, Lieut. Huntley, will proceed to join the squadron under Rear Admiral Warren, on the west coast of Africa, the mo ment the wind will permit. The latter end of Jan Mercer, w u i a l r. l y be ready for the same station C h ThearYb dLieut. at Rhin, h 48, e at Chatham, is ordered to be got r e ad y for commission. At Spithead.—Lynx, and Mary, and Sylvia transport. In Harbour.—Victory, Royal George, Excellent, Edin burgh, Belvidera, Blonde, Rainbow, Sparrotvhawk, Jupi ter, Nautilus, Charybdis, and Sparrow. It is intended that the Semaphore signal station at the Platform, in this town, shall be continued. It is now undergoing a thorough repair. (From the Devonport Telegraph.) Devoieroax, DEC. 28.—His Majesty's sloop Racehorse, Commander Cotton, arrived here yesterday from Ports mouth, last from Falmouth, where she landed 25,0001. in specie for the packets, and will come into harbour to be paid off. None but widows of boatswains, gunners, and carpenters in the navy, are now required to appear before the Chaplain Qs, Captain I..anibara, A* New South An experiment is about to be made, to ascertain whether bread can be better preserved in warm climates when en- closed in iron tanks than in bags. The Belvidere, 42, and Blonde, 46, are each to take out an iron cask filled with bread, which are to be returned to the Royal William Vic tualling-yard after they have been abroad twelve months, to undergo inspection. The Messenger steamer arrived here on Thursday last from Portsmouth, and will proceed to Falmouth to wait for orders. The Messenger, on the evening of Wednesday, while off the Nabb Light, ran on board and sunk the Thetis, pilot boat, but by great exertions every one on board was saved. The complement of the Excellent, at Portsmouth, is ordered to be increased by three Lieutenants, five Mates or Midshiptnen of five years' standing, and two ordinary sea men, making her complement 234. We hear from good authority, that owing to the ill state of Captain B. Yeoman, he will resign the command of his Majesty's ship Andromache, which is waiting at this port for orders, and has not sailed for the East Indies, as erro neously stated in the last United Service Gazette. The same paper also erroneously stated that Captain Samuel Pym has commissioned the Canopus, 84—this ship was commissioned by Lieut. Hathorn, several weeks since, and it is at present understood is to be commanded by Captain the Hon. Jocelyn Percy, of the Malabar. Sir Amos Norcott, the newly-appointed Lieutenant Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Forces at Jamaica, arrived with his suite at Elliott's Royal Hotel yesterday, and will take his passage in the Cruizer, Com.

The police force, now enrolling for the protection of this yard, is to form part of the regular dockyard establish ment, and the expense of its organisation and support will be included in the estimates for the 6,000 men voted by Parliament. We understand that it is intended to retain some of the most able-bodied of the present wardens as inspectors and sergeants. TRANSMISSION OF LETTERS FROM BOLTON to LtvEarooL.—Great complaints are justly murmured by the commercial and manufacturing popula• tion of this district, that whilst we have a railway from Bolton to Liverpool, we are deprived of the advantages which would result trorn the conveyance of the mail bags through so excellent a medium. Letters posted in this town before the box closes in the evening, might, if an arrangement could be effected between the conductors of the Post-office and the railway proprietors, be in Liver pool by ten o'clock on the following morning, whilst, under the present system of forwarding them to Man chester, the delivery is protracted to the late hour of four o'clock in the afternoon, and we have heard of instances of the non receipt by persons to whom they are addressed before the following Monday morning. We are informed that au attempt was made some time ago by the Post-office authorities to afford the very necessary accommodation which we have suggested, but that the charge by the railway proprietors was considered to be too high to justify their pressing the bargain to a conclusion. We are, however, of opinion, that a strong memorial to the Postmaster-general, from the principal trading inhabitants of this opulent and populous neigh bourhood, backed by the influence which our Parliamen tary representatives are known to possess with the Govern ment, might speedily lead to a renewal and consummation of the treaty. We trust that those who have so long con sidered the matter in the light of a grievance, and vented their dissatisfaction in complaints " not loud, but deep," will at once openly meet and discuss the propriety of such a memorial, and of requesting that assistance which we believe the members for Bolton would cheerfully and we may say anxiously afford.—Bolton Chronicle. • The inquiry into the nature and proceedings of the Leeds Corporation took place last week, but was very short, ittid elicited nothing that was not already no torious. Our Corporation has bad two great safeguards to virtue—first, absolute poverty ; and, second, the absence of the temptations presented to other corporations by borough elections. When there are no funds and no patronage it would be bard indeed if the corporation were not honest. We do not mean in the slightest degree to insinuate that the Leeds Corporation is not composed of honourable men—we believe it is so; and when we say that they have as a corporation been virtuous because tb•r au v m e a b n e e n n a t u p r o e ! , r , w T e h e r e fl i r e r c e t n p o o upon sibe i m n a d n iv a l g d e u rn al e s e , - b t uetf largeh fund. and large patronage would corrupt any corporation on earth. As far as the Leeds corporation could display the evil tendencies of the close system, it bas done so. It has been characterized by the most rigorous exclusion of all persons differing in politics or religious creed from the favoured few, and the offices of alderman and common councilman have run greatly in family connexions. All the weight it possessed has generally been employed to resist every kind of improvement and reform.—Leeds Mercury. During the recent repairs of Bath Abbey Church doors, a number of musket-balls were extracted from the wood of which they are composed. ABDUCTION.—The daughter of a small farmer, named Power, at Kilmeadcu, in this county, was forcibly taken off by a mounted party on the night of the 13th. When going away, they left sentries to keep the inmates from giving the alarm before the party had got to a distance.-- Waterford Mirror. , er ton. itto. itto. itto. itto. 6, 2 to 955, d. to Ag a., 14 1 17 ol 1113. 13 lb. 17 lb. 20 ind 16 4 12 !.; o11owe:~ i • 28 11 4 !lb. 625..4 • 728. ......... i , aid* 17 .„.„. 16 19 r 19 :- 17 ilne, 15 11 WEER Beano. 38 9 a 4 32 D° 32 34 Dv 44 46 , 34 1, , 40 4 v 35 3 40 6 9 0 36 4 34 09 4g 34 40 36 - 4i 4! 35 9 . 1 32 72, 32 .s ! 32 Dr, e. d. ~ 32 40 0 00 ° i to i 7 t ' 1 25 1 21 0 41 0 2 0 0 7s.

" Gentlemen, permit me before leaving this chair, to which you have called an enlightened and impartial col league, to thank you for the kindness you have shown me during the brief duration of my functions. Permit me also to express my most sincere wishes that the important objects demanded of the Chamber by the King's speech may be accomplished with harmony and tranquillity in this the last year of our legislative mission." The President then alluded in detail to the principal topics of the Royal speech, towards the conclusion of which some signs of impatience were manifested from the centre benches. The President concluded his address in the following words ; To secure to the population the blessings of order and peace, the Government has made an appeal to the firmness of the magistrates and the courage of the army ; it has also solicited our loyal assistance. We shall not be deaf to this appeal—we will secure to all classes the results promised by the charter, amongst which the principal is liberty for all." M. Dupin then took the chair, and read the following address. After thanking the Chamber for the reiterated marks of their goodwill towards him, he proceeded to say At the opening of last session our regards were directed towards what we had to do—it is equally proper, at pre sent, to pass in review what we have accomplished. No former Chamber has had so long an existence as the pre sent, as it has been permitted to reach the end of its legal duration. No other Chamber has given to the country so many useful laws. In sixteen months there have been passed 101 laws affecting the general interests, and 240 bearing upon local ones. Amongst the former, France has hailed with gratitude those which bad been so ardently the objects of the general wish. Amongst these I shall particularly mention that law which, in conformity to the desires of the country at large (M. Dupin laid particular stress on these words), abolished the hereditary succession to ,the peerage—that law also, which, by modifying the penal code, rendered more easy the suppression of crime, by establishing a juster proportion be tween it and its punishment." M. Dupin then proceeded in a summary manner to recall to the recollec tion of the Chamber, the other important laws which bad been enacted; such as those upon the recruiting of the army, the municipal organization of the departments, upon the transit of merchandise, the establishment of entrepots, the amelioration of the condition of the coloured inhabitants of the colonies ; and, lastly, the law upon primary instruction. " Gentlemen," added M. Dupin„ " in enacting, if possible, a good law upon the customs, and in completing the laws promised in the charter, you will have rendered an immense service to the country. You will then have been true representatives (constituans) after the manner of wise men, skilful in putting an end to revolutions, whilst others are only skilful in fomenting them. Gentlemen, you have called upon the country for great sacrifices, but they were necessary for our internal security, and the safeguard of our honour in relation to foreign countries. To whomsoever may ask what we have done, we can reply, There is our compte rendu.' " (Very general marks of approbation followed the close of this address.) _ The Chamber then adjourned sine die, and the mem• bets retired to the committee-rooms to appoint a commis sion to prepare the address in answer to the King's speech The Bordeaux journals of the 23d inst., announce that the Bayonne snail had not arrived at the moment of their going to press, so that they have nothing new to commu nicate from Spain. They attribute the delay either to the bad weather, or an accident having happened to the mail, or to floods upon the roads. The Indicateur, however, gives the following of the 20th, from Bayonne, which is not without interest:—" A person worthy of confidence, who has recently arrived from the Basque provinces, states that the clergy became every day more audacious, employing every means in their power for pro moting insurrection. The convents and the churches are depots for the arms and ammunition of the rebels ; the immunity in which they are left, and the indifference of the liberals, give us reason to fear that factions will long continue. Added to this, the poor people of this pro vince are made to believe that the leaders of the insurrec- Lion are acting after the orders of M. Zea, which is pro bably false ; but such a report does as much mischief as if it were true. Six hundred volunteers are already armed and equipped at Bilboa, besides the corps of Miguelets as commanded by the brave Conget, who shines both as a pa triot and an officer. The same person had occasion to com municate with several officers of the regiments of Girona, Almansa, Estremadura, Africa, and of the Royal Guard. All were full of enthusiasm for la Isabelita (the little Isa bella), it is thus the young Queen is called ; but in revenge they swear at Zea and his colleagues, with the exception of the Minister of War ; and, if they do not fall within a short time, said publicly the officers at Durango, as soon as we have exterminated this apostolical rabble, we will go to Madrid to make the Queen Regent compre hend what she does not seem to wish to believe at present. The hatred of the soldiers to the monks is incredible; they talk of nothing but exterminating them. In general all the officers and soldiers are satisfied with their com mander, Valdes, and say that with such a general they would go to hell, if it must be so. In fact, it appears that it will not be the fault of Valdes if the rebels are not brought into subjection. He will be ts - sponen - of in the highest terms ; b apprehended that the equivocal measures of M. Zea a nd colleagues will thwart the good disposition of these worthy chiefs, and the efforts of the brave troops under r their command. We have been hitherto ignorant G eta i of e a n e ia aa c t worthy of the defenders of Don Carlos. When the insurgents entered Logrono, they established the inqui sition there, and assigned to each of the inquisitors an annual pension of 2,000 piastres. These monsters had already two unfortunate persons in their talons, but they were delivered up on the entrance of General Lorenzo into Logrono. The Spanish clergy will never yield an iota of their horrible and sanguinary projects, and woe to the country if Don Carlos should succeed in ascending the throne supported by such auxiliaries." A letter of the22d inst., from Bayonne, says—" General Castagnon has returned to St. Sebastian, leaving El Pastor and his column at Tolosa. It appears that El Pastor is henceforth to act independently of the General, and in concert with commanders of other flying columns. The accounts received to day from Guipuscoa are far from satisfactory; there is not a single point in the country at which there are not to be found bands of insurgents of 15, 20, or 30 men each." The indicateur of Bordeaux a the 24th inst. has the following from St. Jean Pied-de-Port, dated the 20th : " The funds (150,000 francs) which were deposited here, in the house of the Colonel of the 18th Regiment of tit,- Line, destined for Spain, were sent off yesterday. It is affirmed that the escort was attacked, but being more nu. merous than the Carlist band, the latter suffered consider able loss ; some persons go so far as to say that it was a scheme to draw the Carlists to a certain point, in order to bring matters to an end ; it seems probable that this was the reason, for the money was enclosed in 5 cases, and it was generally reported that the amount was 1,500,000." The following is from the Memorial Bordelais of the 24th inst. :—" Several young men, formerly Constitu tiGnalist volunteers, took refuge at Bayonne during the events of Biscay; wishing to return to Bilboa, they set out for St. Sebastian. The road being intercepted, they em barked in a lancha with M. Butron, formerly alcade of Palencia, also a refugee. Bad weather compelled them to put into Palencia : they took the road to Bilboa, armed, but having found a strong party of the factions at Al. gorta, a village two leagues off, they were forced to lay down their arms, and up to this day it is not known what has become of them." The following is from Oleron, dated the 21st :.--.‘Ehe courier from Sarragossa, who arrived late, brings little news. Arragon has resumed its usual tranquillity since the bombarding and capture of six in the evening, with 2,200 infantry, 400 horse, two batteries of artillery, and one hundred sappers of the engineer corps, and made a night march to the foot of the chain of the Atlas, where the Douaires who had committed the greatest part of the outrages to be avenged were posted, and where he was informed that Abdelkader had stationed himself on his return from butchering a tribe in the environs of Tremesen who had refused to ackaowledge his sovereignty. The vanguard of the division, commanded by Colonel Audinot, came unexpec tedly at daybreak upon the Douaires, who were completely dispersed, leaving on the ground every man who offered to defend himself. The firing alarmed the camp of Abaci kader, and all the other tribes with which this part of the country is covered, and by 8 o'clock in the morning clouds of horsemen appeared from all sides. The first who h arpsh presented oo t themselveserswere instantly ia front driven of back the upon French thoselius whoof were moving in their rear, while the artillery, by a well directed fire of grape-shot and other projectiles, stopped the masses of the enemy. Nevertheless, reinforcements s poured in, and every face of the square formed by tl e F iv r h e o n c d h i s t p r l o a o y p e d s t w h a e s c utmosto verer a l u d b a y h c i t ty i um . s in A n nob e s r t a i b na le te cavlry, combat a oneuerLand lasted iilLten n!elnek... when the Arabs with drew in order to wait for other tribes, which afterwards arrived. During this suspension a ration of brand; was delivered to the French troops, but having waited uniil twelve o'clock, the French General then commanded a retreat, intending to bivouack his men at Msullen. As soon as their movement was perceived, the enemy renewed his attacks with increased ardour, but the slow and steady march of the French troops, and their repeated halts in order to allow the artillery to play, disconcerted the assailants, and occasioned them immense loss in both men and horses. Still a great number of them fol lowed the rear-guard of the retiring forces, and did not abandon their object till nightfall, when they male at last a desi erate charge, which was met and repulsed by the African corps of Horse Chasseurs. The General conti nued his march to Msullen, but renounced his intention of bivouacking his men, fearing lest, after the heat of the day, which was equal to the finest month of June in France, the health of his troops might suffer from the cold and damp air of the night. He consequently continued his route to Brun, where, after a march of 30 hours, 13 of which were engaged in fighting, he arrived at 10 o'clock at night, without having left a single man behind him. The General then speaks in the highest terms of the courage and conduct of his followers, and recommends many offi cers and men to the consideration of the Minister of War, as having distinguished themselves. The Progres of Avignon, gives the following confiden. tial letter, addressed on the 13th inst., by General St. A ignan to the Lieutenant-Colonel commanding the garrison of Avignon :—" The Lieutenant-General Commandant of this division, informs me that the Republican Committee of Paris intends sending into the provinces incendiary writings, calculated to shake the fidelity of the troops and seduce them from the line of their duty. In fact, emissaries have left Paris for the purpose of sounding the sentiments of the troops, but I am too well acquainted with their good spirit and devotedness to their country and King, not to be persuaded that they will repel these culpable attempts upon them. You will, however, give orders that there be a redoubled watchfulness in the garrison, sad transmit to me every rev dutionary writing that may be attempted to be introduced into the quarters, or into any other place which may be under your superintendence." (EXTRACT OF A LETTER 213.03/ MADRID, DEC. 11.) Paris, December 27. "A Decree of the Queen Regent, dated the 10th inst., grants an unlimited license for manufacturing or dealing in the following articles;—.viz. fish, silk, soda, barilla, rage, paper, hemp, and flax, whether wrought or unwrought ; and the Decree annuls all former Ordinance., restraining toe commerce m these articles. A serious misunderstand ing prevails between our financiers and the bankers of Paris. The Director of the Sinking Fund, and the Mi nister of Finances, on the 26th ult., made a hostile Report to the Council of Regency, and to the Cabinet, respecting our foreign debt, in which a bankruptcy is declared inevitable. It remains to be seen whether, in refunding the debt, it is to be consolidated into a third, a fourth, or a fifth. M. Gargollo asserts that Spain is unable to pay more than 100,000,000 rials (or about 1,000,0001. sterling) per annum towards her home and f,reign debts, and yet M. Martinez, the Minister of the Finances, wishes the Cortes Bonds to be comprised in the new arrangements. The Government must come to a resolution on the subject before April Ist, as the public opinion is avowedly against foreign loans; and tl: , ! Mi nister who should venture to contract one would expose himself to the indignation of the people." (From Galignani's Messenger of Saturday.) A letter from Bordeaux of the 24th inst. has the fol- lowing :—" A Spanish courier has just arrived. In order to escape the bands of Carlists, who are still nu. merous between Vittoria and the French frontier, he took the road by Arragon. He states that on the 15th a movement of the Constitutionalists took place at Madrid, and that the life of M. Zea was in danger, but the Queen mounted her horse and rode through the streets, and thus succeeded in calming the populace." The Memorial Bordelais of the 25th inst. gives the following of the 23d from Bayonne :—" There have been no movements on the frontier ; the principal seat of the rebellion is now in the southern provinces of Spain. Don Antonio de Sola, the Viceroy of Biscay, being found incapable, has been superseded, and General Pastor put in his place. This General is advancing with a body of troops. It having been announced that a General Assembly was about to be held at St. Sebastian, to which each of the four frontier provinces were to send Deputies, the Carlists have resolved to prevent the meeting, and proclamations by the m have been issued, denounci n g death against whoever might attend it." The Sentinelle des Pyrenees of Bayonne of the 24th Mat. has the following from Aldudes, dated the 19th " The rector of Cia, a town of Baatan, within these few days declared to his parishioners that he was going to take up arms for the defence of the true religion, and the indisputable rights of Charles V. to the Crown, exhorting them to follow him; he set off the next day, with forty men, and has since been prowling about the environs of Lain, but he is not much confided in by the Carlists, as none of them join his band." It has also the following from St. Jean-Pied-de-Port, dated the 21st. We are assured that all the Captains-General and Bishops are summoned to Madrid. In consequence of this order, Saarsfield left Pampeluna yesterday, and was escorted to the frontier of Navarre by a strong detachment. The high road to Sarragossa is intercepted. The insurgents occupy the woods and positions of Carrascal." "We learn from St. Sebastian, under the date of the 21st., that General Castagnon re-entered that town on the 19th, at five in the evening, accompanied by a detachment of cavalry, 10 carabineers, the moveable company, and two pieces of artillery, which he had taken with him. Catalonia and Arragon, hitherto so peaceable, have just yielded to the constant instigations of the monks and priests. Much ferment prevails there ; it is said that insurrections have broken out. Six thousand men, forming Carlist bands, are said to be near Estella. General Valdes proposes attacking them at the head of 3,000 men. The formation of moveable columns fur the provinces near our frontiers is spoken of, i n or d er to d estroy the Carlist bands , and maintain the tranquillity and secu rity of the inhabitants.
