LONDON :
WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1837.

In another part of The Sun will be found the Ad-
dress of the House of Assembly of Lower Canada
t
the Governor of that province, Lord Gos-
°4l), with his Excellency's reply. On these im-
rtant documents, we must, for want of space,
defer commenting till to-morrow. The Assembly has
b
,"4 prorogued to the sth of October, and must, as a
atter of course, be then further prorogued, till the
decision of the British Parliament on the destiny of
Canada shall have been obtained.

, 4r. O'CONNELL may well say that he is the
1,4 best-abused man in the three kingdoms ;" for the
017 Journals, after letting him alone for a few days,
have again opened their fire on him, with, if possible,
ore
rancorous determination than ever. The Morn-
r'ng
usually so tame and precise in its epithets,
07114(11Y accuses him of being the most of a blackguard

p . l ng, and virulent language ;" and the Morning

lingsgate, after charging him with every sort of

enormity ; with having marked his

ave them barbarians ; tells him that he has ,c thrown
4aY the most glorious opportunities of real practical

a millions—he has preferred to add to the
i°-t`cal power of his party, and to advance his own
4n,,terests." Who so obtuse in intellect as not to see the
th-"ing of this passage ! It is neither more nor less
Lan the expression of a regret that Mr. O'CONNELL
11— not thought fit to consign over Ireland, bound
11:11(11 and foot, to the tender mercies of Toryism ; that
11,, as always strenuously refused to coalesce with Sir

his political influence, and vouchers for his political
worth ?

We have received the French Papers of Sunday.
They add little to the intelligence from Spain which
appeared in The Sun of yesterday. Accounts horn
Madrid to the 20th had been received in Paris. The
object of Don CARLOS evidently is to make a dash at
the capital, and considering the superior tactics dis-
played by the conductor of his military operations since
he quitted the Basque Provinces—who is no other than
the celebrated MoßENo—and the proved incapacity of

the Commander-in-Chief of the QUEEN'S army, we
should not be at all surprised if the bold attempt were
crowned with success. He has in all probability been
joined by the division under ZARATIEIGUI, a pupil
of the celebrated ZUMALACARREGUY, and certainly
by CABRERA and his active band. ZARATIEIGUI
was at Valladolid on the 18th, and CABRERA had
entered Guadalaxara about the same time with about
8,000 infantry, and five or six squadrons of cavalry.
The Christinos are considerably superior in numbers,
should the corps of BUERENS and NOGUERAS have
been able to join that of ESPARTERO ; but it is not
the policy of the Pretender to come to a general battle.
If he find himself inferior in strength to the QUEEN'S
united forces he will endeavour to draw them off to a
distance from. the capital, and then by a sudden coun-
termarch, for which his light troops are well adapted,
attack Madrid, which ORA A, should he be there, which
is not at all probable, could not defend, and of course
take possession of it before he could be overtaken
by such a tortoise of a General as ESPARTERO. At all
events, it is clear that both parties are concentrating
their forces, which would in other cases indicate that
something serious was going to happen. But it would be
unsafe to predict such a result when the combatants on
both sides are exclusively Spaniards. The soldiers of
that nation have so many ingenious methods of eluding
the actual encounter, even when to ordinary under-
standings it seems inevitable, that we must never cal-
culate on any thing that has not actually taken place.
The Carlist forces are between Mondejar and Guada-
laxara. They amount to between 20,000 and 30,000.
The Christinos are not many leagues distant. Their
total numbers cannot be much short of 40,000.

Baron DE MEER has resigned the office of Captain-
General of Calatonia in disgust, and has been suc-
ceeded by General SAN MIGUEL, brother to the
Minister-at-War.

The following are the only things we find worth ex-
tracting from the French papers. The intelligence
said to have been communicated in a letter from
Vittoria is not to be relied on. Had such
attacks as are therein mentioned taken place, it is not
likely that the most important part of the intelligence,
namely, the result, would have been unknown. The
fact is, that little dependence can be placed on
the Spanish news found in the French papers, and
nearly as little in that communicated by the telegraph.
" You lie like a telegraph," is now as common a say-
ing in Paris as was formerly, •' You lie like a
bulletin."

PARIS, SEPT. 24.—As the weather has been extremely
fine and favourable for the working of the telegraph, we may
conclude that no news from Madrid had yet been received
at Bayonne this morning, which would indicate that four or
five mails were due.
This evening the Messager gives the following news,
which we lay before our readers to gratify their curiosity :
A letter from Vittoria, dated the 18th, which has bees
communicated to us by our Correspondent at Bayonne,
says that the Carlists having manifested the intention to
cut off all communication between Madrid and the pro-
vinces, the Christino troops have moved to defeat this
mauceuvre, and that they had attacked the corps of Zaria-
tegui in the environs of Colmenar, and that of Don Carlos
near Mendejoir. The result of these two attacks was not
known at Vittoria.
The same letter adds that the forces of Generals Buerens
and Oraa joined those of Espartero on the 15th, and that
they immediately marched towards Arganda and Estremera.
If we may believe a letter from Bayonne, dated the 2lst,
Valladolid, Leon, Burgos, and Oviedo have followed the
example of Pampelusa and Santander, and organized inde-
pendent Juntas.
The King will not set out on Wednesday.
The Moniteur Allgerein, of the 16th Sept., has the fol-
lowing paragraphs :—" We have positive information of the
arrival of Abd-el-Kader in the south of Titery. It is said
that he is accompanied by the Commandant M. de Menon-
ville, who is on a mission to him. For some time past al-
most all the tribes of Titery have been at war with each
other. A combat is spoken of, in which Abd-el-Rahman-
el-Mokhtary is reported to have been killed. The pre-
sence of the Emir will doubtless restore order."—" A con-
voy of 2,000 oxen, sent to the merchant Durand, is on its
way to the banks of the Chiffa."—Le Commerce, Sept. 25.
