We have just received afflicting intelligence beta Bilbao. Peron
the teitli of last month, wale Royalist volunteers were met in the
neighbowrhond of the city by some *alias at a regiment of rhs
line ; an altercation arose between them ; the letter pretended that
the volunteers were not capable of carrying tire-arms., unless then
were on actual service. The commies rat' the volunteers quartered
in the city, informant of the dispute, challenged the soldiers, wed
a tumult was the coneemiencs ; this the French officer in command
called upon the mutrinpality to appease; they refined to interfere,
and left the tank to some monks, who suconded for the moment.
On the billowing Sunday, the volunteer+ repaired to the prom:made,
and insulted indiscriminately every well-Armed cadent. Three
latter, consisting principally of tradesmen. were obliged to betake
themeelyee to their houses. For the last few days. this triumroatt
populace has proceeded to such 'Nereus, that the Authorities have
ordered, for the purpose of putting an end to -tech tbitorder, the shops
and warehouses to be closed at nightfall, and not 10 he opened until
nine in the morning. Manures have been also taken for the clog-
ing of all the shops, in which more than two versus have met the
the purpose of business. Such a state of things cannot fail of treks
I ing an uttfavourable impression upon trade in general. All who
can realise sufficient funds, hasten to fly fmm their homes. We
must be prepared to UV a considerable entigraiion, both by sea and
upon the land side.
