THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1839

arrests were taking place in the capital, of persons sus-
pected of being concerned in the late insurrection.
The news from Spain is highly interesting. The
Moniteur publishes the following telegraphic despatches
received by the French Government :
" BAYONNE, MAY 15.
" The Queen of Spain, by a decree, dated the 10th inst.,
accepted the resignations of Messrs. Pita Pizarro, Chacon,
and Hompanera, and appointed to fill their places ad ink-
rim Messrs. Vigodet, Arrago, and Jose Ferraz."
The next is highly important :
" Guardimino has fallen into ESPARTERO'S hands, with
300 prisoners."
ESPARTERO had previously taken RAMALES. The
following account of this affair was received at San
Sebastian on the 12th inst.:—
" Ramales, May 8, at night.
" Ramales, or rather its cinders, fell into our hands this
afternoon, at three o'clock. The enemy abandoned the
houses.
" The enemy having received a reinforcement, succeed-
ed in repulsing the chasseurs of Luchana, who had ad-
vanced close to the above houses ; but the escort of the
commander-in-chief having come up, it charged the enemy
with such resolution that they were compelled to fall back
and abandon the village, the whole of which is burned to
the ground, with the exception of the church and the
hermitage belonging to Don Alonzo Alvarado."
A few more such victories and Don CARLOS will be
forced to keep his court on the French side of the
Pyrennees. But there is no dependence to be placed
on the energy of ESPARTERO.
The Echo de L' Orient has an article from Constanti-
nople, dated April 22, which says—lt is affirmed that a
detachment of Egyptian troops, pursuing some deserters,
has entered the Ottoman territory, which it has thus
accidentally violated, notwithstanding the pacific assurances
which Ibraham Pacha is continually giving.
Captain Dallorso, commanding the Sardinian ship
Buona Tamiglia, who has just arrived from Odessa, from
which place he sailed on the 14th of April, says that on
that day a Russian squadron of three ships of the line, two
frigates, a corvette, a brig, and a steam-boat, arrived at
that port. When he touched at Constantinople on the
20th of the same month, the Turkish fleet, consisting of
twenty ships of the line and a good many frigates, was
fitting out with great activity. All the mills and ovens
were at work making biscuit for the fleet.—Le Commerce
May 10.

The most perfect tranquillity has not ceased to prevail
all over France. The telegraphic despatches announce
that all out great towns are in a state of profound peace.
PARIS, MAT 15.—A letter from Tunis, of the 12th of
April, published in the Semaphore of Marseilles of the
20th of May, announces that Sidi Mustapba, Minister of
Finance at Tunis, may soon be expected or, a mission to
Paris, to make a complaint on the part of the Bey against
the French Consul, with whom he is still at variance.
The Consul, on his part, sends M. Duchenoit to Paris.
The following are the facts : One of the Dey's soldiers
went to drink at a tavern, kept by a Greek under the pro-
tection of France ; the Greek presuming that the soldier's
purse might be light, but seeing that he had a good cloak,
supplied him with liquor till he was intoxicated, when, not
being able to pay, the Greek attempted to take his cloak,
a scuffle ensued, the soldier was overcome and remained, with
his cloak, in the power of the tavern-keeper, who immedi-
ately went to complain to the French Consul, who caused
the soldier to be carried before the Bey, and required exem-
plary punishment. The Bey replied that he would
examine the matter, and that justice should be done. The
Consul, not satisfied with this answer, wrote again to the
Bey, saying that, if the punishment were not immediately
inflicted, he would break off all intercourse, and take down
his flag the next day at three o'clock. The Bey being
alarmed caused the soldier to undergo a severe bastinado,
and wrote to the Consul—" Your threat to strike your flag
leaves me no time to reflect. I grant your demand, for
God forbid that I should cease to see the French solours
displayed in my city of Tunis. But I protest against your
threat, which makes me commit an act of injustice. I give
you notice that I am going to send an Ambassador to Paris
to complain of you."—Moniteur, May 16.
