SPAIN.
THE CARLIST MOVEMENT.
MADRID, JULY 11.
Names went to La Granja on Sunday night. Figueras,
Arresola, and Roca were already there. Sotomayor
and Bravo Murillo set eut yesterday; Sartorial' fol-
lows to-day, and Orlando to-morrow; so that the entire
cabinet will be collected at San Ildefonso on Thursday.
Telegraphs aro established between Madrid and the royal
residence, so that news can be communicated in a few
minuses. The journey with good posting takes some five
hours. The troops at La Omens aro commanded by Gen.
Count Espeleta.
The Cellist factions in the north do not seem to increase ;
that of Aguirre, in the Barque provinces, consisting of 30,
was overtaken on the Bth by Brigadier Ortigou. Two were
killed, severs wounded, and five taken prisoners, four of
whom were officers In fact, the bands seem composed
mainly of officers. The common people evidently do not
sympathise with the movement. The two factions of Gui-
puscoa, that which appeared at the Martyrs and the few
followers of the unfortunate General Alm, are wandering
dispersed in the 'murrains of Aranzars, where they are be-
ing hueted down by the civic guard. Some of them have
presented themselves for pardon,
A letter from Gerona represents Cabrera on the 3rd at
Montagu!, near Olot, with 800 foot and 50 horse. (las.
Enna, at the head of 1,500 foot and a squadron of horse of
the Queen's troops, was at Olof, but did not sally out to
meet the rebels. 30 infantry of Magian* t bad deserted to
the Carlisle. The urns system of vexation and persecution
was still pursued towards the liberals. They were snapped
up by the score for no crime but their opinions, and deported
to other provinces. According to the Clamor a Cubit fac-
tion of 50 horse has appeared near Badajos. The troops
sallied out after them in the direction of Valencia de Alcus-
tars on the 7th. Besides these the party who robbed the
Andalusia mail last week in the Sierra Morena turn out to
have been Culists.

The Esperanza publishes a letter from Faris accusing
agents of Christina of having distributed considerable sums
of money to the chieli of the insurrection of June. The
organ of the queen-mother at Madrid, La Espagrus, Is in
high wrath at the charge. That two commissaries of police
presented themselves simultaneously at the Hotel Cour-
celles, and at the house of Grimaldi, !he new
Spanish consul general at Paris, an old client of Chris-
tina, and therein made strict seeirth for arms, is indubitable :
and it is said that the government of Madrid were very near
dismissing M. Lessens with as little ceremony as Sir 11.
Bulwer, in consequence of what they conceived to be an
outrageous affront to the honour of Csstille. The suspicions
of the French government were probably aroused by the
5-,uantity of Spanish onsu found in mysterious circulation for
the purpose of fomenting plots. The vast exportations if
gold temntly executed by the agiotista of Madrid would
however account for this circumstance, without attributing
any interference to the agency of Christina.
JULY 12.—Urbistondo, captain general of the Basque pro-
vinces, has proclaimed pardon, under certain conditions, to
such of the Carlists who lave recently risen aa submit to the
authority of the government. The private s will be exempted
from all penalty ; the officers from sentence of death. This
bando is dated July 8. The term allowed for presentation is
eight days. The government declares that the factions of
the Basque provinces have been totally dispersed, and that
those of Navarre arc melting away fast.
On the 10th there rallied forth from Madrid a column of
troops, consisting of 80 foot and 40 horse, commanded by
Colonel Osorio, to put down the faction that has appeared
lately near Dospeguaperros, in he Sierra Morena.
It seems the Queen-Mother does not live under the royal
roof at La (Stoop', but has a separate establishment at the
Casa de Canonigos, in which residence are also lodged the
ministers Roca and Arrazola. _

A greet number of persons have been arrested in the
Basque provinces, in consequence of disclosures contained in
the papers of the unfortunate General Alzaa.
The address to the Queen and government consequent'
upon the revolt of the 7th of May is still in procen of signa-
ture throughout the provinces. The town-councillors who
refuse to sign it are turned out of the ayuntamientos. This
violation of municipal rights, which has occurred at Ba-
dajoz among other places, has produced much disgust among
the liberals.
The Clamor says—ln Catalonia the factions have invaded
the plain of Barcelona, and carry their forays up to the city
walls. The Fomento (Barcelona paper) of the Bth, however,
states that Brigadier Valls, formerly head of the Conde de
Espagna's staff. bgether with several other Cachet officers,
had sworn allegiance to the Queen and constitution.
The faction of the Aniescoas in Navarre amounts to 300.
A Carlist faction of 30 had appeared in the province of Va-
lencia, seven leagues from Vinaroz, on the road to the Maez-
trazgo, near San Mateo.
A letter from Valladolid (published in the Esparta) gives
some curious particulars concerning the marriage of the In.
(seta Josef a. The ceremony is said to have taken place in
the open air, near the hermitaze of San Isidro, outside the
walls of V.dlo'olid, on June 15. Gun y Bente, having
cunplettly failed in his mission to Madrid fur the
purpose of procuring the approbation of the Queen
and government, returned on the 2nd of July to
Valladolid to claim his bride, and to set off to spend
the honeymoon in France. But a change, it seems,
had come over the spirit of Josef*. The decree annulling
her rights as Infanta was an unexpected shock. The merits of
Guel were hardly sufficient to comoensate for the degradation.
She therefore nut only Hotly refused to accompany her hus-
band on his Fri nch trip, but in the presence of her father,
Don Francisco, and of the principal authorities of the place,
formally declared her intention of claiming the dissolution of
the marriage ; of all which statements have been drawn up,
and the government will resolve what is expedient. Gael,
whether of his own accord, or obliged by the authorities, set
cut soon after alone on his journey to France. A girl who
acted as go-between has bean sent away by the political chief.
