" THE SVB.PREFECT OF BAIONNE TO THE MINISTER OP

THE INTERIOR.

" BAYONNE, SEPT. J.
" The treaty of Bm-gara, signed by Espartero and
Maroto, is highly favourable to the Carlist troops, officers,
and soldiers, but makes no mention of Don Carlos.
" About 8,000 men have revolted from the Pretender,
with whom there remained about the same number."

" THE CHIEF OF THE NAVAL SERVICE TO THE MINISTER

OF MARINE.

" The Commandant MathietiWTites to me—
" The Spanish authorities have received official infor-
mation (or notification) of the treaty concluded between
Maroto and Espartero for the pacification of Biscay, Gui-
puzcoa, and Castile.

" The Christicos this day occupy Andoain. The bells
are ringing merry peals every where. The population are
' in joy. The aspect of the country is entirely changed.' "
These events are anticipated in the subjoined
article from the Journal des Debuts of Thursday.
The writer's estimate of the character, and iinpres-
sions as to the subsequent career of Don CARLOS,
are in strict conformity with our own :--:
What is remarkable in the treaty between Maroto and
Espartero is, that no mention is made of Don Carlos. His
fate is left to the mercy of events—either a retreat to
France or a personal capitulation, which may be on hard
and shameful terms. It is his own fault, from his obsti-
nacy and his miserable in:rigues. He had a perfect know-
ledge of the compromise in progress, for it has been pub-
licly spoken of for the last six months, and he was himself
informed of it for the last month. When he saw that he
could not obtain the throne for his son, and that some of
the Generals, for the safety of the provinces, gave up this
point, then be wished to break off all negotiation, and raise
an iosurrection against Maroto. At his last interview
with this General the project of treaty was to be discussed,
and the Ministers and Generals were assembled for that
perpose ; but Don Carlos, setting aside the discussion, de-
manded to pass first the troops in review. Ho relied upon
causing a rise against Maroto, but he was unsuccessful, and
he took to flight immediately, crying out Treason," as if
it had been wished to deliver him to t'le Christinos. From
that moment Maroto and the Generals who adhere to his
cause, were obliged to separate the cause of 120,n Carlus
from that of the provinces. This is why they have stipulated
far the troops and for the population only of the two pro-
vinces of Biscay and Guipuzcol, leaving to the others,
as well as to Don Carlos, the care of settling how they can.
The treaty, signed only on the 29th, was agreed noon
'several days before, and it then contained iu favour cf Don
.Carleervery suitable stipulations, which have been since
Silppressed, and which treaty it is affirmed Don Caries had
hiasselt promised to sign ; but he has lost himself. When
tee schism broke out we said that the pacification had
fai'ed, but the deelorable conduct of Don Carlos has pre-
cipitated the cot el asion. When he was at the head of a
compact and unanimous army he could have demanded terms
he can ask no long& r.
The Navarrese battalions will remain faithful to him for
orrse time. They have just gained near the banks of the
Ate an advantage decided enough against the Cbristinos,
who have been surprised, and a division cut to pieces. But
sorer or later Don Carlos will be reduced to a simple escort.
However this may be, here are two provinces out of four
whites have tr-ated for peace. This is an important fact,
the example of which will e

We hare received with these despatches a mass
of Carlist documents from Bayonne, purportingio
be copies of the correspondence between MAROTO
and the Carlist authorities, up to the 28th ult,, on
the subject of the negotiations for peace. As the
substance of them has already appeared, and as, in
fact, recent events have divested them of all interest,
we make no apology for omitting them altogether.
The emigration of Carkts to France was consider-
able. On the 31st more than 200 persons crossed
'he frontier. Father GIL, and all the Jesuits of the
Convent of Loyola, were at Bayonne.
