BAYONNE, July 4 —Letters from Saragossa state that Don
Carlos passed the Ebro on the 28:h, at Mora and nix. To-
morrow we shall be able to confirm or contradict this news,
BA YONNE, July 3.—On the 26th Espartero heard, at Log-
rono, from the Baron do Meer, that Don Carlos was mo-
ving towards Tortosa, with the intention of crossing the Lower
Ebro. _ _

He heard at the same time that the Carlist forces left I-c-
-hind in Navarre and Alava were assembling at Orduna to me-
nace the Upper Ebro.
The two accounts inspired him with fears for Castile, and
and he accordingly marched with eight battalions, on the
27th, for Arceniega. Nine other battalions ought to be there.
He leaves eight behind on the Ribera, and the Portuguese at

Vittoria.
If this intelligence be confirmed Don CA RLOS stands
a very fair chance of reaching New Castile before Es-
PART Etto can offer him the least resistance. Mora
and Flix, at which points he is stated to have crossed the
distant a few leagues from the Mediter-
Ebro, are only
ranean coast. Flix is a place of some strength, but
Mora is merely a village. On the river Tortosa is a
strongly fortified town lower down still, so that there is
no inconsistency of any moment between the account
received of the actual passage of the Ebro by Don
CA R os and the report conveyed to General ESPAR-
TERo. It is likely that the Pretender would make
a feint of crossing the river at Tortosa, as it is
there spanned by a bridge, whereas there is no
bridge either at Flix or Mora. Logrono, where Es-
PARTERO was when news of the Pretender's in-
tended passage of the Ebro reached him on the 26th,
is high up on the Ebro at the junction of the pro-
vinces of Navarre and Old Castile, and should he, in-
stead of marching directly to cover Madrid, now me-
naced by the main army of the rebels, proceed up the
river to Orduna, we may expect to hear of his com-
fortable re-establishment in his old quarters at Bilboa.
What has become of ORAA and de MEER we know not.
The last intelligence we had of the former represented him
as having entered Caspe in triumph, after chasing CA-
BRERA from before it. Now, Caspe is only a few
leagues from Mora and Flix, and from its position on a
bend of the river, offers many facilities of conveying, in
the least given time,a large force to either of the points
threatened by the vanguard. It was a thousand times
easier to have defended the right bank of the river than
to attempt to keep possession of the high road between
Alcaniz and Morella.
But the passage of the Ebro would rather add to
the embarrassment of Don CARLos were DE MEER
and ORAA to concentrate their forces and attack him
briskly before he can penetrate into the interior of Va-
lencia. He quitted Catalonia rather because he found
few jealous partizans in it than because of any
prospect of reaching Madrid in safety. After leav-
ing Solsona he tried to make himself master of
Navariles and Manresa, but without success ; and he
only ordered a retrograde march upon the Ebro
when he found that he had no chance of suprising
Barcelona. His army is greatly straitened for want of
provisions, and he has little to expect from the enthu-
siasm of a population reduced to misery by the ravages
of GoMEz and CABRERA. But, unfortunately, the
' past career of the QUEEN'S Generals does not en-
courage us to hope that they will avail them-
selves of the oversights of the enemy. Their great
object would appear to be the keeping up of the war,
by fairly balancing the success on both sides. When
the tide of popular indignation threatens them with
disgrace and the deprivation of command, they make
war in earnest ; but the instant they have retrieved
their fame, by getting the Pretender in their power,
they think only of prolonging their occupation, by al-
lowing him to slip unscathed through their fingers.
The French Papers of Tuesday contain a despatch
from the Marquis DAS .ANTAS to the Minister of
War, giving an account of the defeat of a large body
of Carlists at Aleg:ia on the 18th ult. by a handful of
Christinos commanded by Col. JACKS of the Queen's
Own Irish Lancers. The Carlists had 100 men
killed, including five officers, and 37 made prisoners.
The Lancers had three horses killed, but not a single
man either killed or wounded.
There is no domestic news of any interest in the
French journals. The capital is unusually tranquil,
though the police' are still occasionally busy in paying
domiciliary visits. The popularity of the KING hourly

increases.
On Thursday last, the 29th of .June, the Abbe Augou,
first Pastor of the Evangelic French Church, received an in-
junction to close his church in future at six o'clock in the
evening. Notwithstanding this injunction the Abbe Aul.7ou
officiated and preached at eight o'clock in the evening, declar-
itr,' that he does not recognise the authority of the Prefect of
Police to issue such an injunction.
On Sunday last the Prefect summoned Abbe Augeu, and
signified to him that be was not to deliver his conference
against the Jesuits, or that if he did, he would cause his
chapel to be shut up. Abbe Augou refused to obey his order ;
the conference took place at eight o'clock in the evening, and
this morning, at five o'clock, the seals were affixed to the
doors of the Evangelic French Church.—Journal des Debats.

In directing the attention of the Government of this
country to the following extract from a letter from
Athens, dated the Gth ult., we would be understood as
being solely influenced by the kindliest feelings towards
the yet necessarily imperfect Administration of Greece.
It is not to be expected that a Government which has
only been a few years established—which has had to
struggle against the subsiding waves of a successful
blood-drenched revolution—which has had to con-
form itself to customs and habits of which it knew not
the force—to combat prejudices engendered and nur-
tured in ignorance—to repress national barbarity, with-
out wounding national vanity—and to maintain itself,
by the unpopular agency of foreign power ; it is not to
be expected, we repeat, that such a Government could,
in an instant, surround itself with perfect institutions,
and be able to prove the non-existence of many
errors in the details of its Administration. But
for several months past the accounts almost daily
received from Greece have indicated the existence
of evils having their origin in the malpractices of
the Government itself—evils flowing from the preva-
lence of despotical Bavarian Councils in the Greek
Cabinet—not from the poverty, the ignorance, or the
insubordination of the Greek population. This is the
grave part of the inquiry ; and to this only do we seek
to direct attention in giving insertion to a statement
which reflects equal discredit upon the understanding
of the King of GREECE—upon the sta!e policy and
the paternal solicitude of the King of BAVARIA—and
upon the common sense and common honesty of the
present A RCEI-CIIA NCELLOR.

" One word respecting King Otho. His lamentable im
beeility might, perhaps, in a larger and more populoug king.

understood to say that King Otho is an idiot in the very
severest sense of the word : his pereenal tputftranCe, and beai:.

capacity unavoidably shines forth.

ling mind, endeavours to show to the emit.' that he, in the
name of the King of Bavaria, governs °recce 1 and that Otho
is merely a cyphtr Set up to answer the purposes of the abso-
lute Powers of the North. thit ill-judged vanity on the part
of the Bavarian Counsellor of State' who governs Greece,
had nearly the other day caused the downfall of his power.
The internal jealousy among the Bavarians is become prover-
bial in Greece. Rudhart, on his arrival, of course determined
on the removal of each of these as he considered favourable to
Count d'Arinensperg's late administration, and, much to the
credit of the Count, hardly a man among his countrymen
could be considered as his friend, so much had he opposed their
inordinate ambition for plunder. One, however, of the King's
Privy Councillors, Monsieur Frey, either in consequence of
his attachment to Count d'Armensperg, or from jealousy of''
his influence with the King, Rudhart determined on having
removed from Greece. Without consulting his Majesty he
clandestinely wrote to the King of Bavaria to order Frey, on
pain of all the punishments that absolute tyrants have at their
command, immediately to leave Greece; and the first notice
of this uncalled-for and iniquitous attack on the independence
of Greece tit:A !cached Athens was the order that the Bava-
rian Charge d'Affaires brought in his pocket, commanding
Monsieur Frey immediately to proceed to Munich. It is na-
tural to suppose that the queen was not lung in learning from
public rumour the scandalous attempt made by the Minister of
Foreign Affairs on the independence of her husband, and it is
said that she succeeded in rousing the King to a sense of what
his honour required of him. Certain it is that there was e
tremendous hubbub in the palace, but which has ended, as
might have been expected, by poor Otho obeying his task-
master, and in the departure of Frey for Bavaria.
" I have given this instance of Bavarian interference in the
affairs of Greece, in preference to any other of the tens of thou-
sands that are daily taking place, because the fact of its hav-
ing nearly caused even Otho to open his eyes to the miserable
position in which his father has placed him, has created a very
considerable sensation here. If what I have written be false,
it will bo no difficult matter for others to show that such is
the case ; but if, on the other hand, every word of this is true,
is not the moment, I ask, arrived for England to insist on the
fulfilment of her intentions in the establishment of an indepen-
dent and constitutional power in Greece, as the only guarantee
that can possibly be offered for the repayment of I,lie sums of
money that were advanced for this purpose alone? Before it
is too late it becomes England, by refusing to recognise the
acts of the Bavarian despotism that has been established, to
save Greece from the revolution that hourly threatens to deluge
her soil once more with blood."

It is needless to add that we cannot vouch for the
accuracy of every word in this statement ; but the
quarter from whence it comes is to us guarantee suffi-
cient for its having a foundation in fact. Now it never
was intended by the brave deliverers of Greece that
that country should emancipate herself from the Otto-
man yoke only to be made over as an appanage to the
son of a Bavarian Sovereign. France and England
were at least sincere in recognizing the national inde-
pendence of Greece ; national independence was the.
darling object for which the Greeks themselves conti-
nued for years to peril all that was nearest and dearest
to them ; and of that independence it is the interest
and the duty of England to assert and maintain the
inviolability. We could afford to smile at the crooked
intrigues of the petty Court of Bavaria, did we not
know that King Lours and his Ministers are but the
tools of Russia.

Dutch, Brussels, and German Papers, the former
to the 4th inst. inclusive, have been received. The
North American Government has intimated to the
Austrian Cabinet that it desires the accrediting of
United States and Austrian Ambassadors at Wash-
ington and Vienna. The Emperor FERDINAND at
once sanctioned the proposal, and ordered that his
pleasure should be forthwith communicated to the
United States' Government.
The Hanover Gazette of the 29th ult. contains
the following account of the solemn entry of the
King of HANOVER into the capital of his do-
minions :

" His Majesty Ernest Augustus made his solemn entry into
his capital yesterday. The Hanoverians testified towards his
Majesty all that respect and devotion which they have ever
shown for his dynasty. On the day before, the King arrived
at Osnabruc, where he was received with transports of en-
thusiasm. Next day all the inhabitants of the villages
through which he passed went out to meet him. His Ma-
jesty dismissed his escort, which was composed of the
body guards. Salvos of artillery announced his arrival. At
a few minutes before six the King reached the en-
trance of the street called Calemberg, where a triumphal arch
had been erected. His Majesty was accompanied by his
Gr2nd Equerry, the Count de Kielmanswegge, with a body
of the citizens on horseback. The authorities of the city were
waiting to receive him. The Governor of the city presented
the keys to his Majesty on a silken cushion, and delivered a
loyal address, to which the King replied—' You know my
love for this country, in which I passed my youth. It has
pleased Providence to call me to the Throne of my ancestors,
and the Hanoverians shall find in me a just and benevo-
lent King.' These words, uttered with deep emotion, were
greeted with loyal acclamations. His Mi,jesty then proceeded
to the Palace, receiving as he went alung renewed testimonials
of the general joy. He was received by the Duke of Cam
bridge and his son, Prince George. Soon afterwards the
Ministers and Officers of State were admitted to pay their
homage to the King ; in the evening there was a general illu-
mination. To-day his Majesty will hold a Council of Mini-
sters. He intends to proceed shortly to the baths at Carls-
bad, where he will remain until August."

Notwithstanding this very flattering account of the
King of HANoyEa's reception by his new subjects,
we are credibly informed that his oath of allegiance to
the Queen of ENGLAND has given mortal offence to
the reigning Princes of the " Holy Roman Empire."
They insist that never before was Hanover " verily
and indeed" subject to England—and they are, right.
King ERNEST AUGUSTUS is without question a
subject of Great Britain.

We have always advocated " Justice to Ireland,"
and sincerely wish that that island should en joy municipal in-
stitutions, and the other advantages possessed by the rest of
the United Kingdom. At the same time we reckon it but
fair that she should bear her shale in the taxation of the coun-
try. Her people are exempted altogether from many taxes
which the inhabitants of Great Britain have to pay ; and se-
veral charitable institutions, which in this country are supported
by the bounty of the people, aro upheld to the Irish from the
public revenue. Among the sums voted by the House of
Commons on Monday last, we find the following items :
" 13,4001. for the Foundling Hospital in Dublin.
20,0001 for the House of Industry in Dublin.
" 150/. for the Hibernian Marine Society.
" 1,000/. for the Female Orphan House, Circular Road,
Dublin.

" 1,000/. for the Lying-in Hospital,
.Dublin.
" 1,5001. for Dr. Stevens's Hospital in Dublin.
" 3,8001. for the Fever Hospital, Cork-street.
" 300/. for the Hospital for Incurables."
The inhabitants of Edinburgh or Glasgow have just as much
right to have their hospitals and infirmaries supported by Par-
liamentary grants as the people of Dublin ; and we trust, that
in striking the balance of the great account of "justice to
Ireland," the claims of England and Scotland, both of which
keep their own poor, to exemption from the additional burden
of maintaining the poor of Ireland, may be duly considered.

TORY AND WHIG PEERS.---I find that from the
accession of George 111. to the present time, Tory ministers
have been 64 years in power, and have created 195 peers, en-
tertaining similar political opinions ; during the remaining 13
years, the government of the country has been in the hands of
Whig ministers, by whom sixty-nine Whig Peers have been
ereated, leaving a balance in favour of the Tories of 126. On
carefully examining the votes of the House of Lords, from the
commencement of Lord Grey's Administration to the present
Session of. Parliament, on questions upon which these two po-
litical parties differ, the average standing majority against
your Lordships appears to be about ninety ; so that bad there
been no creation since 1761, the \Vhig party would be in a
majority instead of a minority, and the present unfortunate col-
lision between the two Houses of Legislature could not exist.

hell had no wish whatever to disobey the erders of the
Court, all that sho was anxious for was the health and
welfare of her ohildrtni.
The Lord CHANCELLOR, without calling upoti Mir W.
Horne to reply, said that he should be guilty of a gross de-
reliction of his duty, not only to the children of Lady
Campbell, but the other wards of the Court, if he allowed
Lady Campbell to disobey his orders with impunity. The
order he would now make was that the children should re-
turn forthwith to this country.

ICE-C lIANCERY.--(THIS DAY.)

TIIF. MATTER OF CHERRY-STREET CHAFF,I.,

.......
This case came before the Court upon the petition of the
present trustees of the chapel, praying for a reference to the
Master, to inquire whether it would be fit and proper that the
trustees of the chapel should be increased from eleven to
twenty-five. The grounds of the application were these :
The chapel, which belonged to the Methodist Society,
had undergone considerable alterations and improvements,
by which an expense of nearly 10,000/. had been incur-
red. The usual mode by which the Methodist Society
raised the money for the building and repairs of their
places of worship was by the promissory note of the trustees,
but in consequence of the amount being so large, and as so
small a number of trustees could not be got to be responsible
for so large a sum, it was thought expedient for the purpose
that the number should be increased to 25. At the present
moment 5,000/. had been raised by the promissory note of the
present trustees.
His HONOUR directed the reference as prayed.

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

Robert William Arnell, 41, was indicted for feloniotrly
marrying Catharine Marshall, in the parish of St. Pancras in
1831, his wife Ketura being alive.
Guilty.—The prosecutrix and the Jury recommended the
prisoner to mercy.
Henry Rudall, 40, stood indicted for a rape on his own
child, aged 12 years, in April last, in the parish of Hackney.
The case had not concluded when our reporter left.
In the course of the day the Grand Jury came into Court,
and the Foreman, Thomas Wood, Esq., said, that before se-
parating they desired to state publicly their opinion of the very
respectable and efficient character of those of the Police Force
who had been before them, and the clear manner in which they
had given their evidence.
