DIVISION OF THE MINISTER OF WAR.

" In the evening of the 9th, Oraa arrived from Xerica
with his prisoner Buil at Valencia, where the Army of the
Centre was expected on the 11 th. The latter had been,
reduced by four battalions, left with Espartero, who had his
head-quarters on the Bth, at Teruel.
" The Pretender was at Frias ; it was supposed, from
the movements of Oraa and of Borso's brigade, whidh had
returned to Torrento, that Don Carlos intended to proceed
a second time to Valencia, and not to march on Cuenca, as
was at first believed."

" BAYONNE, SEPT:
_19,. SIX O'CLOCK A.m.—Accord-

ing to accounts from Madrid of the 14th, Don Carlos was
at Fuentiduena on the 13th. It was supposed, front the
direction he was taking (which was towards Chinchon by
the left), that it was his intention to march upon Anda-
lusia. In the evening of the same day Espartero entered
Madrid, and his army was at Alcala. The Queen was
received with the greatest enthusiasm when she reviewed
the militia on the 12th."

These despatches leave the affairs of Spain pre-
cisely as they were. But the entrance of Don
CA RLOS into Andalusia will give a new aspect
to the civil war. In the meantime the Cortes
are doing nothing, either to impart energy to the
army, or give stability to the Cabinet. Not a
syllable is breathed about the dismissal of E3PAR-•
TERO ; and yet it must be obvious to a majority of the
Deputies, that the Constitutional cause is losing
ground, in consequence of his remaining at the head
of the army. ESPARTERO is a miserable, procrasti-
nating, gasconading driveller, who ought never to have
held a higher rank in the army than that of a drill
serjeant.

Letters from San Sebastian, of the 14th, announce
the defeat of Brigadier-General O'DONNELL o❑ that
day, by the Carlists, in the vicinity of Andoain.
The British troops fought bravely, but the Spaniards
ran on the very first appearance of the enemy. As
for the new British Auxiliary Legion, it was well nigh
cut to pieces. Headed by the gallant O'DONNELL,
who fought hand to hand with the enemy in the first
rank, one-third of the Legion fell before the rest

thought of retreating. Had the Spaniards followed the
example of the brave auxiliaries, the Carlists would
have been hunted to the very gates of Tolosa. But the
cowardly rascals fled, leaving about seven hundred
British auxiliaries to contend with eight Carlist bat-
talions abundantly supplied with ammunition, and pro-
tected by the fire of seven pieces of mountain ar-
tillery. Of the new Legion 300 men were killed
and 150 made prisoners. Colonel Ross of the
Scotch Brigade, and twenty-five other officers lost
their lives. Had Spain but an army of 30,000 such
fine fellows as these, we should hear no more about
the danger of attacks upon the capital.
We find very little domestic news in the French
Journals. Of election gossip there is abundance.
The following extracts include all the news in them
of any interest to an English reader.

Extract of a letter from Crete dated the 22d ult.:—
" Mehemet Ali has been here since the 14th of July.
He came with two vessels, a frigate and a brig—was 16
days in coming—and kept his quarantine of forty days in
his own country residence of Rhoda, near Candia. The
recollection of his conduct during his visit in 1833, rather
alarmed the country. But he now gave proofs of a quite
contrary nature. He gave 1,000 purses (5,0001.) for re-
pairing the water conduits at Candia ; and ordered at
Canea the construction of a mole and lighthouse. He
said, that reasons of health alone brought him to Candia ;
that of exercising his squadron might have been another.
It came here 15 days after him, and consisted of the Beilars,
the Mansourah, the Skanderik, and the Aboukir, four ves-
sels of„the line, and with them were four frigates and smaller
vessels. The Vice-Roi cruised in the Beilars. The inhabi-
tants of Canea gave them a brilliant reception. On Sunday
a steam-boat came with despatches, and immediately after
Mehemet set out by land for Candia, from whence he sails
back to Egypt. It is thought he may meet the Capitan
Paella in his route. Every one who has seen him admits
that his health is improved, and his intellect as strong as
ever, though his caprice is excessive. His conversation is
highly intelligent, and full of wit. Clot Bey, the medical
chief, accompanied him in this excursion. Puckler Muskau
is at C artoum, the capital of Sennaar."

Letters from Naples of the 2d instant state, that a ♦io-
lent storm visited Palermo and its environs on the 24th
ult., striking down several buildings in the town, and lay-
ing the crops on the surrounding lands under water. It
was, however, hoped that the convulsion of the atmosphere
would clear the air, and remove the cholera, which was
still lurking among the people. Naples had been suffering
from the sirocco, but stormy weather was coming on, which
it was hoped would have beneficial effects on the health of
the town.

We are informed that the Persian Government has imi-
tated the Porte, and established a State Gazette. It made
its appearance in May last, and is published monthly. It
is lithographed upon a large folio sheet ; has no general
title, but is ornamented at the top with the arms of Per-
sia. Beneath is one general heading, " News and events of
the month—Printed at the Palace of the Government at
Teheran." The first page is devoted to news from the
eastern kingdoms ; and the second to news from the
western kingdoms. Intelligence relating to Persia takes
the lead ; then follows that from Afgahnistan, China, and
the Indies. This department is tolerably well filled ; but
when the editors come to speak of Europe, there is a great
falling off. Under the head of England, after stating that
London is the capital, it merely notices that on such a day
it was visited by a tremendous storm, and other trifling
matters ; except that it enters into long details respecting
an intended establishment of immense works for making
beet-root sugar. Under the head of Germany, it merely
gives an account of a woman beingi delivered of four chil-
dren at a birth, &c.
The Marseilles Journals announce that the 12th Regi-
ment of the Line has been embarked for Bona, on board
merchantmen.

From another quarter we learn that the Egerie corvette
has taken on board the first battalion of the 26th Regi-
ment of the Line, belonging to the division of the Eastern
Pyrenees. These two regiments will complete the army
intended for the expedition, which is to be 12,000 men,
effective.

The Caravane and Maine corvettes, which arrived yes-
terday from Bona, are going to Port Vendre, to take on
board the second and third battallions of the 26th Regi-
ment. The Fortune will wait here for the arrival of the
artillery from Valencia and Lyons.
The Government will also have at its disposal the In-
dienne transport, which may be sent to Bona with military
passengers, stores, &c.
As for the Durance corvette, it is heavily laden with
cannon, projectiles and effects, destined for Bona. The
latest movements connected with the expedition to Con-
stantine are making, and the opening of the campaign may
take place between the 20th and the 25th of this month.
It may be said that the cholera has ceased at Marseilles.
The bulletin of the 14th announced fourteen deaths ; three

are ascribed to cholera.
It is affirmed that M. Charles Dupin will be included
in the list of new Peers, which will appear at the same
time as the ordinance for the dissolution of the Chamber
of Deputies.—Le Commerce.

Arrangements are being made throughout the
Upper
Ward of *Lanark, to assist with cash in the expected over-
turn of the county election. Had every district been as
active as Carluke, before the election took place, all this
extra toil and trouble would have been wholly unnecessary ;
but appearances bid fair for the less spirited places rebein-
ing themselves, by imitating, and perhaps surpassing, even
Carluke in raising the county from its woeful fall.—Glasgow
Chronicle.
