General Velasco has arrived at Saragossa, and
has taken the comursod of the troop. in Amgen,.
General Torrijos entered Pomp/glens at the Sib
instant, to take the command instead of General
Espinoes, of whose operations we know nothing.
General O'Donnell is to set out from Bayonne to-
morrow, and will go to the Valley of Rancid. where
the remains of Quesada'a army, to the timber of
1,500 men, ere now reflected. General Q.t.'s(' a
IS point to Paris. sad Egni• to Toulouse. as it is
affirmed. The reason of the separation of these
three Generals is nut known here. Ihe pas.•ee of
couriers backwards .sad forwards between Paris
sad Madrid is very frequent.

Government had received the day tefore most im-
portant dispatches hum Verona, which were read in
■ Council of the Mruisiere sod of the Coooseflors
of State, held the tome evening. It is belieted
that they relate to the modifications proposed to be
made in the Constitittiott. hot there is no doubt
that they will not be acceded to. sod that the blends
of the Coustitutiort will prefer a war against all
the world.

'rim accounts from Madrid to the Oth, chiefly
'elute 'to the sitting' of the Cortes. The Lands.
basin's Society not only continues its sittings, but is
more frequented thin e'er; them is a succession of
orators, olio all endeavour to encourage she spirit of
the people, end even to blieken The enemies of the
colionoviondleyetem, either by the nuene of Serriles
o► Amelteros. On the evening of the 3,1, M.
Romero .Alpueute aside a long speech to unveil
the viers of the portisons• of two Chambers, and

. *-

the (Unger, whiElewould ensue to the liberty of all
Spaniards if the Patriots *ere weak enough to
yield to this project.
After the meeting broke up. and the audience
departedrieveral Commeneros; and even some
ladies, perceived that their cloaks and upper gar-
ments were cut in many pliers with cisears. This
discovery excited extraordinary indignation.

Information having been received by the Political
Chief that a conspiracy was carrying oil et Madrid.
and that a great quantity of arms and ammunition
was secreted iii the convent of Atocha, and in the
Retire, the commanding General ordered these two
places to be surrounded on the Ith. The letters
of the 7th say, that in consequence of the investi-
gation in the convent of Mocha. three monks were
arrested. It is observed that in consequence of the
new laws, a great number of indivu:uals were pie-
paring to leave Madrid.

The Indicador, referring to letters from Sara-
goes& of the 28th October, says, that the Royalists
evacuated &dopier on the 27th, and that the Con-
stitutional troops entered it the same day. The
sitar journal says that Mina has 10,000 ineu snider
his immediate command, exclusive of the garrisons,
of the troops in the province of Tarragorta, and the
garrison of Barcelona (1,500 men). Cardona and
Vich were still attacked daily by the R yaltsts. The
reinforcements sent to Catalonia were wholly occu-
pied on the two banks of the Ebro, which are in-
fested by numerous bands. Considertug the situation
of Catalonia and Lower Armpit, the success
of Mina is less important than it appears,
and if the Royalists defend, as they hive done
hitherto, the liue from Bal.guer to Manresu
and Cardona, and the.constitutiomil troops do not
receive speedy reinforcements to repair their inevit-
able losses, it is to be feared, as winter is approach-
ing, that they will be forced to suspend their ope-
►stions. The advance to Urgel is the least difficult,
but it would Iterhsps oblige Mina to scatter his
army too much. IVe know that he has asked
for 10,000 men, which the Minister has not
been able to grant. Tranquillity is besides dis-
turbed in New Castile by a band of 1,200 men
from Catalonia, and in Old Castile by Merino,
who his collected 60 horse and 600 foot, but was
totally defeated on the 31st by the Colonel of the
regiment Lusitania, with only 36 horse and 100
foot, who took no part in the action. Merino lost
60 killed, 313 prisoners. 301to►aes, &c. He him-
self escaped by the swiftness of his horse.

The Paris Papers tip to Monday have been re-
ceived. Pieviona gummy; stated, that ►IINA, after
his late deloat of the insingent., advanced in the
di►ection of Ralagner. The present limpets add,
that ibis place has fallen into his Ninth, and that itq
capture was the cense of the removal I.f the pre-
tended Regency from Urgel to Puycertli. A de.
putation from the Central Government of the Marra
has landed at Ancona. on its way to Vetoer, to
what the p'rolectioo of the Allied Sovereigns for
the Greeks. We are glad that this appeal bats been
mode to Christian Princes in favour of the Chrestiam
religion; bet we are not ungulate of success.

Speculation is still very bury as to the •ffairs of
Massy of the French Papers, most devoted
to the Ministry and to the Court party, are strongly
advocating the necessity of war; they breathe nut
threatening sod slaughter against the Constitutional
Government of Spain, and declare that France
must interfere to pat it down by force of OM,. It
cosiest he denied that France, as • nation, is
strong; her finances ate unimpaired, her debt
trifling ; and she has au army and officers oboes
prowess and ability cannot be doubted. Bet the
great question is, can Louts, with 'slaty to hien-
self, send an army intro Spain? Whet may be the
consequences ? Is there no danger of that army
j • • g the Spaniards? Cosa its allegiance to the
Boy anon family be depended spots ? This con-
sideration is the only obstacle we believe to • French
invasion; and by pausing, Louis is acting wisely.
On the first march *fats hostile army, the Spaniards

hive auferod too muds to trust lam again ; and
while with one.band and oat heart they opposed
their invaders, they would, in the natural fostises,es
of the country, as well as in their fortresses and

their enemies to force ; End the mast that amid pas-
vibly be pissed by the invasion of the Peninsula

The substance of a sternly debate at a meeting
of the Guild of Merehunts in Dublin, is given iii

striking picture of the soreness of party feeling in
that city, which appears to have derived additional

suppress it.
