SPAIN.

It is to be feared that before a month the Monte-
molinist insurrection will present a formidable aspect.
New bands on all points are mentioned. A cabe-
cidla, very reds.ubtable, Pau Mane, who was supposed
to have been long since dead, was, on the 28th June,
at Bisbal, with 100 men, where they destroyed a fort.
Cabrera and his troops were, on the 30th, on the
heights of Marseny, twelve leagues and a half from
Barcelona, and accompanied, it was said, by some
high personage, incognito, who was, it was said, the
younger brother of the Count de Montemolin. Ca-
brera, on speaking to him, always addressed him un-
covered, and with the greatest respect."
The &Ileumlie de Pyrenees says " The traops of
Isabella, who scour the country all round, are very
numerous, bat the Carlist bands are equally so."
A private letter from Navarre, of the 4th July, says :
"The Carliet insurrection is spreading. The two'
battalions of Christinos which formed the garrison of
Elisondo (Bastau) have been recalled to l'ampcluna,l
the military governor fearing that they would join
the movement. There were only two small companies
at Elisondo. The workmen of the forge d'Orbaceita had
left off work. This important establishment, with
the ammunition contained in it, is guarded by only
about twenty soldiers, who will, no doubt, deliver it
to the Carlists on their first appearance.
Zubiri has quitted Biscarret, at the head of his
bind, and is making fresh accessions to his forces. At
Erre, the alcalde delivered him 20 muskets. his
troop is mach increased at Mendigorrio, Auorbe,
Garaze, Ciranqui, &c., and amounts at this moment
to 3,000 men. It is supposed that General Elio will
form a juncture with him in the valley of Amezcoa.
Ile is now at Vera. The volunteers who follow
Zubiri have crossed the bridge of Mendingorria,
at their head two companies of Christinos, and crying
" Long live Montemolino; long live the Faeroe!"
Since the above was written. we have received
letters from the frontier, dated the 6th, which state
that the Montemolinist movement in the Basque
Provinces and Navarre had been seriously impeded.
General Urbirtondo, an old Carliat officer, now
Governor of the Basque Provinces, has taken the most
decisive measures to repress the insurrectionary
movement. By his orders considerable fore(
have been sent to occupy the points which Zumal-
carreguay formerly made the centre of his operations,
amoegat others the celebrated valley of Amezcoa.

SUICIDE IN ST. JAMES'S PARK.—Last evening an
inquest was held by Mr. Bedford, in the Westminster Hos-
pital, on the body of Elizabeth Britain, aged twenty-eight,
of No. 24, Cowper-atreet, City-road. Mr. George Sieve-
wright said, that en Saturday morning last he was crossing
St. James's-park to the Admiralty, and when near the gate
opposite the Horse Guards, he saw the deceased leap over
the iroa fence which borders the ornamental water, and
plunge in. At the distance of about thirty yards behind her
was a man she had just quitted, and wk., leaping into the
water after her, endeavoured to save her. She was, how-
ever, beyond his reach, and to rave himself he was obliged
to return. From further inquiry, it appeared that the
deceased lived in an unmarried state with a man named
Clement, who had quarrelled with and beaten her on the
Thursday previous. 'Verdict—Temporary insanity.

possible to carry out its provisions, and therefore
thought it undesirable that it should proceed further.

of other noble lords, persevered in his motion, and on
