THE SMITHS.

There arc two Smiths, " Rebellion" Smith and " Alphabet"
Smith. With the merits of the first, the Court of Exchequer
and the public are very well informed. He it was, we believe,
who sketched the plan of the Great Tithe War, which has
raged so generally through the land, and who, until within a
few months, conducted the campaign with such success. But
it should be said, in justice, that the right-hand man of our
friend, Rebellion, was Alphabet. Rebellion directed the
warfare, but Alphabet, on almost all occasions stood by Caesar
and gave him counsel : and, certainly, we do not know a better
leader of a division. In other words, Alphabet Smith was the
Counsellor, and Rebellion the Attorney.—Dublin Evening
Post.

An application for the appointment of a receiver over the
property of the late Baron Smith was made in the Court of
Exchequer this day. His debts are said to have amounted to
.50,0001. The application was granted.

FuItEIGN IN

SPAIN.

MADRID, JAN. 23.—The latest a 'counts left Ribero re-
viewing his own division, now united with thet of Narvaez
in the vicinity of Miranda del Ebro. Alaix still holds his
command in Vittoria, notwithstanding the denuniesti nis nn-'
assurances of speedy punishment by the Ministers. And
Narvaez, that intrepid soldier and incorruptible patriot, has
been placed under arrest and conveyed like a felon to Cuenca,
in which town he is to be detained as a prisoner, until suci,
time as the Government shall prefer their charges against
him, and with a view to his trial. It is worthy of remark,
and a good commentary upon the whole proceedings, that
Narvaez, the only General sent in pursuit of Gomez, who
fairly met him in the field and routed him, is now a pri-
soner in the hands of the officer who suffered the greatest
disaster from the rebel chief that can occur amongst the ca-
sualties of war, namely, the loss of the entire body of troops
under his command, with his own capture -by the enemy.
Brigadier Lopez, who was made prisoner with his whole
di-
vision at Jadraque, in the mouth of September last, by
Gomez, and released from captivity upon the taking of Can-
tavieja, is now Military Commandant of Cuenca, and in that
capacity is the appointed gaoler of Narvarz. In this style are
rewards and punishments apportioned in this country. Whilst
Gomez figures in Navarre as the Count of Almaden, a place
betrayed to the enemy with its gallant defenders by Rodil,
the hero of Maja Aceite is an outcast, in exile--a dishonoured
captive.
This contrast is openly remarked upon by a periodical of
this evening, in the following terms :—" Citizens, hear ! Ge-
neral Alaix, the direct or indirect protector of Gomez, disobe-
dient to Government, is in command. Brigadier Narvaez, the
conqueror of Gomez, the defender of order, an idolator of
discipline—banished. Representatives of the people do you
sleep?" The feeling, already strong, gains strength every
hour, and the Government will not, I believe, be allowed to
remain uncatechised by the Cortes upon a question of so much
importance.
The history of the proceeding is short. The Brigadier had
applied to be allowed to retire from the army ; an application
which it is in the option of every officer, in strict conformance
with the regulations of the Spanish service, to make. It is
also in the option of the Crown to refuse the application ; and
this was done by a Royal Order, requiring the Brigadier to
rejoin his division. In the Royal Order the act of separation
from his division, and the coming up to Madrid without first
obtaining permission of the Government, were treated as two
separate offences against the existing laws. In reply to this,
the Brigadier proceeded to prove by reference to the strict
letter and spirit of the military ordinances,that he had been guilty
of no illegality. He showed that in compliance with a Royal
order to that dffect, he had placed himself and his division
under the orders of General Ribero in Burgos, at the same time
demanding, in consideration of his wounds, •to be permitted
to retire. The permission was granted by his superior officer,
who also gave him a passport for Madrid. This language
seems not only to have offended, but to have alarmed the Go-
vernment, and on the night of the 24th, at a very late sitting
of the Council, the resolution to arrest him was taken. In
pursuance of this resolution the Teniente del Rey and the mi-
litary governor waited upon the Brigadier at five o'clock in
the morning of the 25th, and by eight o'clock he was on the
road to Cuenca. The Royal order authorising this act of re-
moval defined the charges against the Brigadier to be his hav-
ing " separated himself from his division without competent
authority from her Majesty, and the disrespectful terms of his
reply to the order to quit Madrid within twenty-four hours."
And upon such " shuffiings, such backslidings, and jealou-
sies," are the vital interests of this country to be sacrificed—
military virtue is to be branded with ignominy—military rebel-
lion fostered and upheld, and an example most pernicious in
its consequences, in alienating the hearts of all the best of-
ficers of the service, to be established. The present Minis-
ter at War seems to possess a happy facility in disgus-
ting every brave and honourable soldier that goes near him,
or with whom he has correspondence.

(Postscript.)—CASTELLON, Jan. 23.—0 n the 20th inst.
Cabrera with his band passed the vicinity of this town, but
without daring to enter it. They assassinated fourteen or
fifteen country people who were at work in La Huerta, and
slept at Benicaro. Next day he fell in with Borso's division
at Torreblanco (north of Castellon, and on the sea side, be-
tween Oropessa and the Peniscola), and it is positive that
Cabrera has been wounded. To-night it is said that he is
dead, but this is not certain, though the wound he received was

in the abdomen.
It appears that the whole force which now composes the
band of the rebel Cabrera is reduced to 1,508 infantry, and
little more than 400 cavalry.
( From La I?evista Nacional.)
MILITARY POSITIONS OF DON CARLOS.—According to the
last accounts, the Carlists concentrate in the lines from Her-
nani to Iran all their possible means of defence, and employ,
without distinction, all the peasantry they can lay hold of. The
redoubt of El Parque has been reinforced by five great guns
of odd calibre, and one howitzer; Fontarabia, with six 18-
pounders, one of 121 b., two of Sib., and two of 41b. ; and the
palace of Torre Alta, an advanced position on that point, has
been fortified with two small pieces of artillery. Ten more
great guns are disposable at Hernani, to be placed on that line,
which will be defended by 29 pieces of artillery, forming the
whole materiel of the band.

It appears that all the Navarrese battalions, except one,
which still remains near Bilboa, have returned to their pro.
vince. Six of them have placed themselves under the com-
mand of Taragual, in the valley of Alzama, and five others,
with the cavalry, occupy Estella and Solana under the corn-
mand of Garcia. This new concentration is, for the object of
opposing the movement of General Sarsfield, talked of this
last month, but not yet effected.
Since the changes subsequent to Don Sebastian's review,
the Carlists have kept in the positions whence they retired on
the 26th of March last, between Ochandino and Zornosa,
and towards Munguia 1 battalion of Navarre, 4 of Maya, 8 of
Biscay, all the foreign deserters, and 1,000 men, commanded
by Quilez, at Ochandiano. Further east, in Biscay, 3 batta-
lions of Gomez have gone into cantonments at Arechaveleta
and Escoriaza.

The Carlists have to a certain degree neglected the defence
of that part of Alava of which they arc masters, having left
only 4 battalions to occupy that province, 1 in Moja, 1 in
Salinas, commanded by Villareal, and 2 others of Gomez, to
which are added all the Castilians who deserted from the
Que"n's troops.

Such were the positions of the Carlists since the 15th inst.,
which they have taken in anticipation of a simultaneous at.
tack of the Constitutional troops, whose number amounts to
no less than 60,000 lighting men, concentrated en masse, at
Bilboa, St. Sebastian, Pampeluna, and between Vittoria and
Burgos, without taking into account the battalions stationed
on the line from Valcarlos to Pampeluna, or those on the
Ebro. From these details it may be inferred, that if the Go-
vernment &splays due energy, and arranges its measures well
with the Generals, the rebuts will be exposed to disasters
that may annihilate them for ever.
(From El Castellano.)
They write from Valencia that Chelva is saved. The gal-
lant Ist, the battalion of Valjencia, which defended it has
added another wreath of laurel to its previous triumphs. The
canaille (the Carlists) has had 40 men killed, and a great
number wounded, and retired to hide its shame and confusion
in the mountains. Our brave brigades raised tl.e siege,
and the CQnstitutional standard waves, to the joy of all, on
the fort of Chelva

Letters from Bilboa state that on the thawing of the snow
300 dead bodies of the rebels have beer discovered ()a the
mountains of Cabras and Banderas.

In Navarre desertion is increasing among the Carlists, a
;mat number of whin have presented themselv,2s at Pam-

• The weather is fortunately improving, the snow disappears,
and the communications arc open again.
VITTORIA, JAN. 24.—The Carlists have withdrawn their
artillery from Iron and Fontarabia to Oyariun, Mount Amet-
zagana, and the Vinta Oriomondi, points in front of the His-
pano-British lines before San Sebastian. The desertions are
numerous amongst the Biscayan. battalions, and at Guibalalde
many of the relation; of the dsserters have been arrested and
conducted to liernani to repress it in future.
Buaoos, JAN.—To-morrow Don Bernardo Elizalde, Captain
of Artillery, leaves-this with eight pieces of cannon and much
ammunition, to join the Army of the North.

" Hosts: DEPARTMENT (CIRCUI.AR).—Though the prompt
termination of the civil war is the almost exclusive object of
the maternal attention of the Queen Regent, her M tjesty's
foresight and solicitude could not do less than cast her eyes on
the riches of monuments of arts and science buried in the libra-
ries of convents, and to apply them to public instruction.
" The necessary measures having been already dictated for
the preservation of pictures and sculptures, her Majesty has
learned with much pain that many of the books belonging to
the aforesaid•convents have been abstracted for the use of pri-
vate individuals; or rendered useless by their sale, and that
great literary treasures have been thus lost which her Majesty
hoped to have the gratification of offering one day, amidst
the s..vects of peace, to the improvement of all Spaniards.
With this
.view her Majesty commands me to repeat to you
the most exact fulfilment of the orders already issued fur
this purpose, it being her royal' Will and pleasure that you
should most scrupulously collect all the books of the sup-
pressed convents, depositing and guarding them with zeal
and safety, and transmitting to this my department an in-
ventory, separately from that which comprises objects of art,
and accounting for their sources, in order that in due time her
Majesty's Government may realize the Queen's beneficent views,
by forming in every provincial capital a public library, to pro-
mote public instruction generally, and to make the people sen-
sible of the benefits which the reign of liberty confers.

tary, I apprise .you of this for your information and street
compliance.

(From No. 39 of the Portfolio.l

Our readers will be better able to form an orinien on the
subject of the voyage of the Vixen front the foli.-'wing decla-
ration, signed by the injured parties,'and transmitted to their
• own Government, the greater part of the facts connected with
which were actually before the Imperial Government when
they published the St. Petersburg Ggzette.
" Deposition of James S. Bell, Esq., merchant and super-
cargo; of Arthur Morton, part owner; and Thos. Childs,
Captain of the British schooner Vixen.
" We, James S. Bell, merchant and supercargo; Arthur
Morton, part owner; and Thomas T. Childs, Captain of the
British schooner Vixen, hereby jointly and severally declare,
that in the prosecution of a trading voyage, undertaken, and,
in every respect conducted in strict accordance with the mer-
cantile laws of Great Britain, we arrived, ,on Thursday
morning last, on the coast of Circassia, off a bay called.
Djoug'on Kodos. That not haying found it advisable, e ith.
the strong breeze then blowing on shore, to anchor in that
open roadstead, we proceeded northward along the coast ta
another small bay, called Pchiat ; and, having neared the
land, we judged it impracticable with the strong sea-wind still
blowing, to remain at anchor in the latter bay ; and, therefore,
determined to proceed to Songouljak (or Soujoukali), prefer-
ring this roadstead to that of Glielendjik, because we learned
that the latter is a harbour in which Russian vessels frequently
sheltered; and would, therefore, be less likely to be frequented
by the natives of the country. That in passing, in day-
light, within three or four miles off the bay of Ghclenjik, we
observed several men-of-war there ; and proceeded to the
bay of Sougouljak, where we cast atelier. That, on Friday
morning, we made a visit to the shore, to make arrange-
meets with the natives for exchanging our cargo of salt for
the products of the country, which arrangements having
been completed in the course of the day, we returned on
board, where we were detained all Saturday by a very
heavy gale of wind from the south, which placed the
vessel in imminent danger of parting from her anchors, and
going on shore. That, during this day a brig-of-war ar-
rived, and cast anchor in the entrance of the harbour. That,
on Sunday we made a short excursion on shore, on returning
from which we perceived the brig-of-war standing towards
our schooner, and immediately went on board. That she cast
anchor a little astern of our schooner, and immediately fired
a gun, and the captain hailed for some of us us to come on
board. That Captain Childs, in compliance with a defe-
rence which he said was usually paid by merchantmen to men

of war, proceeded in his boat alongside of the brig, taking
his British register and other ship's papers along with
him. That he then learned that the brig in question was a
Russian man of war; and her captain, after having learned
from Captain Childs that the Vixen was a British vessel,
and legally cleared for the voyage in question, said that she
must go with him to the Russian Admiral at Ghelendjik ;
and that Mr. Bell, whom, he understcod from Captain
Childs, to be in charge of the cargo, must come alongside;
and that if these orders were not complied with, he would
instantly give orders to sink the Vixen, in proof of which he
had the guns of his broadside run out, and his men beat to
quarters. That on these particulars being communicated to
Mr. Bell, lie judged it proper not to run the risk of such
forcible measures being put in execution to the loss of many
lives, and went alongside; where, in answer to questions put
to him, he stated in substance what Captain Childs had already
stated, and in answer to a query from the captain of the brig
whether he were not aware that the coast of Abasia (as it is
called in the Russian charts) was under blockade by order of
the Emperor of Russia, Mr. Bell informed him that, before
his quitting London, the Government Gazettes, which formed
the only rules in such cases for British merchants, had been
examined for the purpose of ascertaining if anything to pre-
vent the voyage in question had been published in them—that
no such publication having been found, application had been
made on the subject to the British Government, which referred
the parties to the Gazettes as the rule of their conduct; from
which it was justly inferred, either that no regulations to pre-
vent the voyage existed, or that they were not recognised as
legal by the Government of Great Britain; that, under these
circumstances, the voyage had been undertaken ; and Mr.
Bell declared, that as he knew of no right Russia possessed
to interfere in the prosecution of his intended enterprise,
lie would certainly persevere in it unless force were employed
to deter him—that to this the captain (Captain Woulf, of
the Ajax, of twenty guns) replied by an order instantly to
weigh anchor, and accompany him to the Admiral, renewing
and reiterating his threat of giving orders to fire in case of
refusal. That Captain Childs declared that, with the few
hauds he had on board, he could not raise his two anchors and
proceed to sea before it was dark ; and that, as he did
not consider that safe, he would not obey any such order.
That Captain Woolf again repeated his threats, but even-
tually consented to defer sailing till next morning. That
Captain Woulf having then frequently pressed Mr. Bell to
come on board the Ajax, the latter at length did so, fearing
lest any ' misconstruction might be put upon his continued
refusal. That, being on board, he was treated with every
civility ; but, when he wished to return on board the Vixen,
it was objected to by Captain Woulf. That, on Monday
morning, a gun was again fired by the Ajax, as a signal for
sailing ; hen both vessels got under weigh, and proceeded
together in the bay of Glielendjik, which the Vixen entered
that evening, but the Ajax did not till Wednesday. That,
being arrived there, Mr. Bell had been still detained in the
Ajax, and he and Captain Childs had been subjected to
separate and vexatious examinations on the subject of the
voyage. That Mr. Bell answered such questions as regarded
the names, nation, cargo, and clearances, of the Vixen ; but
refined to reply to others which lie did not deem it incumbent
on him to answer. That Captain Childs, in like manner, an-
swered similar questions. 'That the papers of the vessel, in-
cluding her muster-roll, and Mr. Bell's passport, have been
taken possession of by the Admiral ; and finally, that the said
Admiral Esmante has declared that we have come to this coast
in contravention of a blockade established for five years, and
proclaimed to Europe by
,the Emperor of Russia. That a
Turkish, or such other vessel, in our circumstances, would
have beer, taken possession of by the Russian cruisers as a legal
priz,e ; but that, under the existing amity between Great
Britain and , Russia, lie deems it his duty to remit our
case for decision upon it to his superiors at Sevastopol,
for which port he says we shall depart in a short
time under charge of the Ajax, the captain of which
shall have charge of our papers scaled, and on board
of which he has desired that Mr. Bell may still remain, and
that his servant and the only four efficient sailors of the Vixen
shall be placed there also, an officer and crew of the Ajax
being placed in charge of the Vixen. That, under these cir-
cumstances, we have deemed it proper to renounce all charge
of the Vixen, and the property embarked in her, and have
intimated such determination to Admiral Esmante accordingly
in a letter signed by the aforemention James S. Bell and
Thomas T. Childs, and of this date.

Friday morning, about ten o'clikk, a determined
act of suicide wns committed at 19, Bennett-street, Blackfriars-
mai, by Mr. 11411, a respectable gentleman, well-known in
the club-house circles, The unfortunate man was a bachelor
of 40 years of age, and had recently been appointed to an of-
ficial situation in the Island of Jamaica,, to which place he was
shortly to have proceeded. It appears that his mother apd sis-
ters, who are fondly attached to him,- were much opposed to his
leaving England, and the consequent embarrassment appears
to have perple;:ed his mind. Oa Tboxsday night he returned
home at a late hour and retired, and nothing more was.heard
of him titl yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, when Mrs.
Knowles, who keeps the house, was-alarmed by hearing the re.
port of a pigol from Mr. room,
