It appears that a smart action was fought on the
9th between the division of General Cruz, stationed
at Cl.l(l4na, ■td the insurgent column under the
command of Riego, who, after having in vain at.
t.►npted to march upon Malaga, endeavoured to
effect his retreat to the [vie of Leon.

The same day a general attack was made upon
Torre-Gords, santi Bailee, and other points of the

M. de Cassitignolles read the proces-rerbal of
the sitting of the 14th February, in which an
account is given of an altercation between 111. de
Saint Aulaire and M. Claustl de Coussergues.
The epithet of calumniator, addressed by the former
to the latter, is not withdrawn. Thie omission give
rise to a lively discussion, which Basally closed on a
division, by ordering that the protes-rei..ba/ should
commute. The division was 124 to 117.

lON DON,
MONDAY, Ithaca 6, issto.

We have received a series of Paris Papers from
Moods). to Thursday lust toclusive. The law for
subjecting all political writing. in France to a
Previous censorship was adopted by the Chamber
of Peers on Monday last, but with some amend-
ments, the most important of which is one for bruit-
iug the duration of this law to the close of the pre-
sent session of the legislative bodies. The project of
the law was presented on the following day to the
Kixn, and submitted on 'Wednesday by his MA.
MTV'S CoinlUUttti to the Chamber of Deputies.
This limitation of the law renders it almost a nullity,
fur the system will scarcely have begun to operate
before the period will have elapsed that is to be
prescribed for its existence.

'The latest accounts from Cache are of the pith
of February, and. from them it is very evident that
the force of the insurgents is extremely formidable.
It appears that the Royalists made a furious attack
upon the Isla de Leon on several points, and it is
equally apporrent, notwithstanding the delicacy oh-
served upon this point by the Royalist journalr,
that the King's troops were repulsed. " The
firing." we are told. " was maintained for a long
time on both sides, but without effecting any im-
portant result." That the Royalists, however,
should have failed in their object, seems to have
been a very " important result" of-this engagement.
A smart action was fought on the 9tb, between
the King's troops under General Cauz, anti the
Insurgents under Colonel Rano. The result of
Ithis atLir is also passed over, whence it muy, we
think, be fairly iiifrrred, that it was not favour-
able to the [loyalists. Some troops were drawn
round Madrid, and a camp a twenty thousand
-mess was to he formed about tru leagues from
'the capital on the Andalusia road, probably for
the purpose of being thence aith greater
directed upon such parts of the kitiedour as
.pay most require the presence of the militaiy.
M. OLAI/AYL Dlt CoVIIIERGUES expresses his
detrictsictotion to substantiate against the Doc DE
Cam's his charge relating to the assassination of
slr, Due Dp BRIO,. This subject has excited the
liveliest attention in the political circles of Paris.

M. Ma'am' has certainly derived benefit
from his visit to Brighton, but before he left town
nit.oonrrkserace was decided, cud we WV Ralaaftell
that the tryivistrs seems IP s of his precocious. state were
greatly ezaggerated. Tlso•e accounts are soppoeed
to have had the effect of treating down the rite of
seats in Parliament.
The General Election will commence this day.
Some interesting particulars of the candidates,
canvass, and contests, are.given in another part of
our Paper. Person. conversant with the state of
parties in the Hoare of Commons, and well ac.
quainted with the political world, are of opinion
that the Opposition will gala an accession of
strength by the change.

We autioanced on Saturday the committal of
Thisslnroad and seven of his associates to ' the
Tower ; notice had been received there in the
early part of the day to prepare for their reception.
They were received by Captain Euttuatori, the
Major of the Tower, who. after some difficult'',
from the shortness of the notice, succeeded in And.
Fug them secure *panatelas.
Each prisoner was placed in a separate apartment;
two warders, turned in the usual wry with cutlasses
acrd halberds. are in each room ; and at each door is
stationed a sentinel armed, to whose care is intrust-
ed the key of the room, with strict orders not to
permit more than one warder to be absent at a time,
and that only for occasional purposes.
Thistlewood is placed in the prison known by
the name of the Bloody Tower.
The number of warders sufficient to do the ordi-
nary duty of the Tower is 10; but, ■s soon as the
command for preparing the prisons reached the
proper (twiner. directions were given to increase
the number of warders to 60.
The iron gate at the east end of the Tower was
dosed on Saturday morning, as usual on such oc-
casions.

Immediately after the departure of the obore de-
linquents, Mr. ADIEU,' was informed that six of
the remaining prisoner, were to be consigned to hi.
custody, tunnely—Brodbarn, Sire...ft, Firth, Gil-
christ, flail, and Cooper. These men were the.)
brought out, and escorted to Coldbath.tields pri•
►on, under circumstances precisely similar to there
which had attended those who had gone to the
Tower. They were accompanied by Mr. Simms-
TER, • King's Messenger, to whom the warrant for
their commitment was intrusted, end weer*, otli-

errs of the police, and by an escort of the horse
guards. Sionagoads, the footman, ■nd Presto's,
were remanded to the cmtody of Mr. ?UDDER,
the Governor of Toth.ll.fields prison, and were
takrn there in a hackney-coach..
The li/errant directed to the Constable of the
Tower, was in the following effect

" You are hereby required to receive into your custody,
Arthur Mai/mood (then followed the names of the other
prisoner,), wbo stand chnrgrd with high treason, sad them
sorely to keep till disci:input by dim cowrie of law, for
which this shall be )our stabrieut ausbority."—Then fol.
lowed the Paws of the Privy Council, commenting old'
the Lord Chancellor, Earl of Westitturland, Sie. This was
written on • *beet of foolscap paper, with • black border,
and bore the official seal. It was accompanied by a pri-
vate nett to the Coastablc, containing instructions as to the
manner in which the primness were to be treated.
The *smut to the Governor of Coldhatli-fields
was the same in substance. All the prisoners
placed in his custody, as well as those sent to the
Tower, have been committed for trial on the charge
of 4‘ Iligh Treason." These men were. probably.
not vent to the Tower from the difficulty of finding
separate apartments for each of them in that build-
ing. The whole of the prisoners are to be tried
under a special commission after the present Assizes.

We ►egret to find that the ►hipping on the coast
has suffered fevert I y fion► the late storms. Of
IWO colliers fron► Shields, 16 aril, it is supposed,
were lost on Thursday afternoon. Our eccounts of
these disasters are confined to the eastern coast.
The psrticulars are given in our naval column.
