on the subject of the Peninsular war, supplied by their
Correspondents ou the Spanish frontier. The defeat
of ZARIATEGuI by the Christino Chief CARONDE.-
LET is confirmed. The following is a copy of the lat.-
ter's dispatch, announcing his victory to the War Mi-
n►stel

" Head :quarters, Valladolid, Sept. 24, 1837,

- - -
" Army of the No*rtb..---Excellent Sir—Five days ago I
was in Cosa la Reins ; to-day I have restored, the public
spirit of Vallkulolisl, expelling from that_ city the factions
of Zariategui. Elated by their triumphs, and confiding in
the superiority of their numbers, they marched out to the
plain with sanguine hopes of success to dispute my entry
into the city. The order, the enthusiasm, the valour with
which every class of the troops under my command rushed
on to victory, are not to be'describrd. The field was not
abandoned by the enemy until strewed with their dead
bodies and their wounded. SO great a slaughter in so
short a space of time is indeed inconceivable. Eight days
since the rebels commenced the siege of the city, and to-
day we hale saved its garrison, sixteen pieces of artillery,
and a considerable share of military stores. At this mo-
ment the troops are taking possession of it.

" El Baron de CARONDELET."
According to the Correspondent of the Messager,
Generals CARONDELET and LORENZO were in•

strutted by the Governor of Burgos to attack the
Carlists at Valladolid. The rebels defended themselves
with great judgment, coolness and courage. Two
pieces of artillery covered the gate of the Calle San-
tiago ; two more were placed in a situation to com-
mand the. bridge; and the road to Madrid was carefully
covered by heavy guns, so ranged as to sweep the ap-
proach from several commanding points, in nearly op
posite directions. On the first onslaught the Carlists
had two hundred killed, besides the loss of three hun-
dred, who were made prisoners. The rebels then
thought it high time to take to their heels, and in a
few minutes the flight was general, though still con-
ducted with something like order. It was added that
the first act of LORENZO, after taking the town; was to
order three canons of the cathedral of Valladolid and
two Carlist proprietors to be shot—they having been
the most active in instigating the people to rebel against

the QUEEN.
A letter from Oleron of the 27th tilt. states that
Don CARLOS'S losses, in his late attempt upon Ma-
drid and his precipitate retreat, exceed 7,000 men, in-
cluding 3,000 deserters, 1,000 prisoners, and 1,000
fugitives, who voluntarily gave up their arms to the
civil authorities at short distances from the Pretender's
line of march. It is further stated that the Pretender
himself is most anxious to re-establish his head-quar-
ters in the Basques—now that he has failed of success
on the southern side of the Ebro.

The escape of Brigadier FLINTER, who so nobly
distinguished himself at Almaden where, with his
gallant little garrison, he was made prisoner by
GOMEZ, is announced. FLINTER was confined in
the depot of Lozcano, where he underwent the most
cruel privations, and seems to have been almost for-
gotten by the Government, when the Carlists proposed
to exchange him for the Rebel Chief VERASTEGUI.
Before the proposal could be accepted the Gallant
Officer found means to elude the vigilance of the
Guards, and is now at liberty.
General O'DONNELL is in hot water at San Sebas-
tian. It appears that the Spanish Government has
ordered him to march at the head of five battalions to
Burgos, and that he has received counter-orders from
Commodore Lord JOHN HAY, who insists upon his
remaining where he is, in order to protect Guipuzcoa.
The General informed the Spanish authorities of the
commands of Lord JOHN HAY, whereupon they
reiterated the order to march. The Noble Lord only
insisted the more firmly upon his remaining, and
threatened in the event of his moving to deprive the
troops of the services of the British steamers. The
affair has not vet been settled.

The marriage of Duke ALEXANDER of Wirtetn-
berg and the Princess MARY of Orleans, is fixed for
the 12th inst. It is stipulated that the male offspring
of this marriage shall be brought up in the Protestant,
and the female in the Catholic faith.

Advices from Athens of the 18th September an-
nounce that M. RUDHART had tendered his resigna-
tion, which was refuEed by King OTHo. This will
be joyful news at the Courts of Austria and Russia ;
but on the present occasion it would have been more
discreet in the King of Greece to consult the feelings
of the Cabinets of London and Paris.

The following are extracts from the Papers of
Monday :
ON THE LATE DISSOLUTION.—The Opposition finds
that the Ordinance for the dissolution is long delayed. Its
impatience in this respect leads it to form hypotheses on tilt
uncertainty of this measure. " The dissolution," it says,
" will not take place ;" and on this we have comments
without end. Now, with respect to indecision, there
never has been any in the fact of the dissolution, but there
were necessary delays. The Electoral List will not be
closed till 20th Oct. Some days more will be required to
post them up and distribute them. The elections, there-
fore, cannot take place before the beginning of November.
The National itself said this morning that the Electoral
law would be isolated if the Electoral Colleges were con-
voked for an earlier day than the 10th or 11th November.
The convocation of a College must take place in the forty
days of the vacation. There must be at least twenty days
besides the legal delays, between the Ordinance and the
Convocation ; there must be at the most three months
between the dissolution and the convocation of a
new Chamber. Now calculate the agreement of these
delays and the date of the 20th of October, which
is in the middle, and say whether the Ordinance could
be signed before the first days of October ; whence it fol-
lows that the Ministry ought not to let the Ordinance ap-
pear sooner, since it is its duty to leave to the prerogative
all possible latitude to fix the time for the opening of the
Session. This latitude is not very great, since the preroga-
tive is confined to a space of three months—at least it
ought not to be further restricted.—Temps.
The King, Queen, and all the Royal Family, except the
Duke and Duchess of Orleans, left Compiegne on Saturday,
at 2 o'clock, and arrived at St. Cloud about 8, their passage
through the several towns and villages on the road being
greeted with every demonstration of loyalty and attachment.
During the evening the King transacted business with the
Minister of Marine and the Interior. Yesterday, at a quarter
to 12, the King, Queen, and Madame Adelaide, left St.
Cloud for the Tuilleries, where they arrived at a quarter.

ANIMAL INSTINCT.—On Saturday last Mr.
Kemp, innkeeper, Haddington, took his horse, Black
George, out to that field near Haddington on which the
Tyneside games are celebrated, and unyoking the animal,
taking off the harness, left him to feed, while he was em-
ployed about something olse. Black George, hearing the
sound of Lord Elcho's foxhounds in their kennel, and see-
ing the shearers at work at Amisfield Mains, stated at liltl.
speed, and galloped across the Tyne in the direction of the
reapers. Coming up to them, he seams to have discovered
his mistake, returned einietiv back, and placed himself be-
tween tho grafts, and stood in that position half an. hour,
as if waiting to be yoked.—(l4c4miait _Mercury.
