desist from their enterprise. At the same time they
began to tire at them through the windows. Some
militia assembled, and attacking them on all sides,
obliged them to fly precipitately, so that many leaped
from the wall. The most of those who were within
showed themselves in the plain, ahem one hundred
and fifty, and by late accounts there were far more,
who came from different parts, who expected the
bell of the cathedral to be rung, and as they could
not get at the hell, because the ringers did not open
the church, they did not appear. Of those who at-
tacktattthe guard five were killed and three taken,
two or whom were shut to day; nine others who
were taken are in the prison. No militia-man or.
person belonging to the city has suffered.
MADRID, DEC. 25 —ln consequence of the in.
surrections in several parts of Navarre, Colonel D.
Alexander O'Donnell, commandant 'of the city of
Vittoria, took the precaution (that the bad example
might not be propagated to some of the parts of the
province of Alava) of sending a detachment to Santa
Cruz de Campezu, an important point on the borders
of' the two provinces, though► he had only one hit-
talion, having marched the other to Puente. This
precaution was not in vain ; fitr on the 20th he
learnt that one Crespo, and Dotninguillo, each with
about thirty of the insurgents of Navarre, were at
Publacton and Bernedo, carrying off arms and horses.
He cmSequently sent a detachment of about 140
men, chiefly militia, who utLred 4:ir services, and
in concert with other detachments, attacked these
rebels. Dominguillo was killedratel five others
taken. There was nothing important from Arragon.
Detachments were marched from Lerida to reinforce
the troops of Arragon ; others are proceeding by
fiirced marches to Catalonia, for the same purpose;
others have marched from Valencia ; and in short
from all parts, even in Estremadura troops are ordered
to Arragan and Navarre, which proves the exertions
of the Government. News was received at Vittoria
that the troops of Ger. Lopez Banos have entirely
destroyed the insurgents of Navarre, under their
chief, Ladron.
MADZID, Du. 27.—Tie inhabitants of Valen-
cia, the national militia, and the tamps in the gar-
rison in that province, have addressed an energetic
representation to the Cortes, declaring taut tney
entertain the same views as Cadiz, Corinna, Car-
thagcna, and Murcia, that is to say, that they are
in a state of disobedience to the government.
A letter front Valencia states, that the constitu-
tional Meade. had been fired upon by three men, but
that the patrol had succeeded in taking them,
Brigadier Dublessel, colonel of a battalion of the
2d regiment of the Royal Guard, one of the most
zealous constitutionalists, is appointed commandant
ut Ciudad Rodrigo.
The most perfect tranquillity reigns at Madrid.—
Respecting Cadiz and Seville, the intelligence is of
the best description ; and although the new func-
tionaries have not yet entered on their duties, the
authorities who were guilty, convinced that they
can find support on no side, are ready to give tip
their ports. It is added that two regiments Of
Cadiz have made a declaration, by which they renew
their profession of respect for the constitution, and
for whatever may be the decision of the Cortes.
Notwithstanding appearances of things in Spain
I have no tear whatever of a civil war, as all the
discontent arises front the discredit of the Ministry;
and with its change, which is about taking place,
will again be p.rfectly tranquil.
CORUNNA, Dcc. 22.—This town has again re-
vested the King to remove his Ministers forthwith;
aal as we have hopes that he will du so, we are all
content.

CAme, DEC. 9.'2.—We are acquainted with all
the deeisioas of the Cortes relative to our affairs, but
they have not produced the slightest sensation ; for
we consider ourselves here as nut depending in any
way on the Government. At Seville, where the
enthusiasm is still greater, the people have risen in
mass to insist on measures being taken by the au-
thorities to secure the public against the
tortuous
proceedings of the Ministers.

this city the day before yesterday. It is impossible •
to form an idea of the joy and enthusiasm with.:
which this officer and his men were received. The
bells were rung, and the town was spontaneously,
illuminated. The troops were harrangued in the
Plaza de la Constitucion by the local authorities.
Onr Chamber of Commerce has ordered the for-
mation of an academy of commerce, the course of
instruction in which will commence on the 7th of
January next.
There is not the slightest symptom of contagion

ancient simplicity, and good preservation, excited
the attention of his Royal Highness. %Viten his late'
Majesty visited the yard in 1781, it was shewn to
him, and he expressed a desire that particular care
might be taken of it. The flag is red, 21 feet by 15,'
having on it St. George's cross (red) on a white flei,l,
and the Irish harp (yellow) on a blue field, the shield
surrounded by branches of the palm and laurel.
flustaNtrv.—The following act of courage and
humanity was lately performed by a magistrate at
D;jon. The flames of a burning house had reached
the prison where the authorities had confined sever .1
wretched run-away Spaniards, infected with the
plague Some of them had not streuth to rise front
.their mattresses to escape from the-devouring ele-
"mens.• M. le Coutheux du Mole, pr,efect of Dijon,
promised in vain to reward with gold those who
Mould sa•e the prisoners. They knew they had to
brave death in two shap,:s, both like dangerous and
fatal. They remained immoveable; the magistrate
darted in at a burning window, and soon brought
out an unfortunate wretch on his shoulders. lie
returned for a second and a third. He was the
means of saving many from death but alas ! its *3
struck with the fatal poison. The young husband of
a wife worthy his heart fell ill ; the aid of medicine
could not save him. He died in the most dreadful'
agonies, with that serenity which the remembrance.
of a good action alone could inspire.

A French Gi,int.—We have often heard of Irish
giants and of English giants, but the most admirable
figure of that description we have seen is a French-
man. who has lately appeared in town. lie is up.,
wards of seven feet high ; but to his extraordinary
height are added the most herculean limbs, and a
well-formed pleasing face. Yet what surprises us
most is, that differing from most of our modem
Milos, he is intelligent, cheerful, full of vivacity nud
good nature, if not amiable. We never saw a man
of his size, whose appearance and manaers were so
prepossessing.
The three veteran battalions now raising in ire-
land, are to be permanent regiments. Tile unic..rs
are selected from the most efficient on the retned
list, and the men, though pensioners, are for the
greater part available soldiers. These battalions are
not intended to be removed from this country.

The Rev. Mr. Sturtevent was happy to have lived to
this moment, whets this met with such support. lie

our places of wOrship, and In alleys and churls, he Was

rivalled no other, and would, by the exert too of ehristian
friends, be sure of success. He exhorted the meeting
to use their entleavolos In facilitating such a glorious
