and two hundred horse !—or one rebel to four or five
of these trumpet-tongued warriors of the Prado. But
though they have all that could inspire heroism urging
them on to instant victory—though they take up arms
under circumstances which would make women valiant
—the protection of their QUEEN—of the Cortes—of
the Government—of the liberties of a nation--of their
domestic hearths—of all that commands duty, inspires
awe, and conduces to the promotion of general and
individual happiness—yet so little can they be depended
upon, that ESPARTERO is ordered from the Ebro
to cover the capital ! Thus Don CARLOS is left to
choose his own route, after all the blustering of the
Christino Commander-in-chief, and his no less blus-
tering compeers ORAA and DE MEER. Nor can
the Government be so infatuated as not to have per-
ceived by this time, that it cannot rely upon the
united fidelity and capacity of its military agents. It
is morally impossible that it could remain ignorant of
a fact known to all who are in the habit of paying
any regard to the progress of events in the Peninsula.
In our columns of this day will be found a letter from
the Correspondent of a Morning Contemporary at San
Sebastian directly taxing ESPARTERO with treason-
able designs and practices ; and we find the same charge
in almost every communication from the same quarter.
The incapacity of the QUEEN'S Generals is now uni-
versally admitted. Even the author of the " Policy
of England towards Spain," whose opinions were re-
ceived with so much respect by the House of Com-
mons, and so virulently attacked in the Quarterly Re-
view, in a Pamphlet just published, entitled, " The
Sequel of the Policy of England towards Spain," ac-
knowledges that he was not prepared for the uniform
incapacity or treachery displayed by the constitutional
commanders. He denounces the conduct of ORAA at
Barbastro, when he allowed the enemy—with
all their wounded and baggage—to cross unmo-
lested ; to cross a rapid river, when he might
have cut them off to a man, as " unpardonable ;" he
marks as liable to strong suspicion the proceedings of
DE MEER at Gra, and on the banks of the Cuenca
and the Ebro, where he suffered the Carlists to slip
unmolested through his fingers ; and he distinctly
avers that had " ESPARTERO displayed the commonest
energy or activity, he might at this moment have
brought the whole of the insurgent country to a state
of perfect tranquillity." _ _

The debates in the Cortes on the 7th and Bth inst.
were very stormy, but on both occasions the Cabinet
obtained a triumph. The subjects under discussion
were the progress of the war, and the proclaiming of
New Castile in a state of siege. We anticipate more
energetic measures from the patriotic firmness evinced
by the Cortes under circumstances so well calculated
to test their zeal.

The whole of the Paris Papers of Wednesday have
been received. The Moniteur contains the following
telegraphic despatch from Spain :

" BAYONNE, AUG. 14, EIGHT O'CLOCK,' P.M.
" THE AMBASSADOR OF FRANCE TO THE MINISTER OF

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

" On the 11th, at four o'clock in the afternoon, the state
of siege (martial law) continues. The advanced posts of
the Carlistg in possession of Segovia appeared last night
within five leagues and a half of Madrid. The National
Guard is under arms. The enemy disappeared in the
morning. Espartero, at the head. of 10,000 or 12,000
men, will be to-morrow in the environs of the capital.
Madrid is tranquil."

• The other -news from Spain contained in these
Papers is embodied in our article on the progress of
events in the Peninsula. The domestic news in the
Paris Papers is confined to the announcement of the
return of the Royal Family from Normandy to Paris.
Annexed are extracts :
The Tordonnais, of the 11th, says It is believed
that the expedition to Constantine will take place in the
beginning of September. It is certain that if it is to take
place it cannot be put off for a longer time, without again
running the risk of the same disasters as last year : it is,
therefore, to be hoped, that the lesson will not be entirely
thrown away."
The Tonlonnais gives the following news of the sth of
August, which differs a little from that in the Alyerine Mo-
nitcur of the same date :—" Hitherto the treaty of the
Tafna is a dead letter for us ; the actions fought in the East
had brought back to our markets the Arabs from that
side : we have not seen any others. Those of the South
and West remain in a hostile attitude ; they cannot lire
any musket shot, because our troops do not visit their en-
campments, but they set fire to vast tracts of the plain.
" Abd el Kadcr is in no haste to come to explain the
treaty to the Arabs of the provinces ; meantime we are
hemmed in more closely than we have been before.
" M. Pellison, aide-dc-camp to the Minister of War, has
rrturned to this place, and is to go to Bona to join the
Governor-General, and to carry to him despatches and in-
structions. We do not know whether they relate to the
expedition to Constantine, or to the treaty of the Tafna.
However, it is certain that we dare not occupy Blida, which
is ceded to us by the treaty ; and yet before the peace,
General Datnremont thought of putting a garrison into
that place, and believed that the Government would autho-
rise him to do so. We are impatient for the end of all
Commerce.

One of the most distinguished medical practitioners
used to say that he considered a fee so necessary to give
weight to an opinion, that when he looked at his own
tongue in the glass, he slipped a guinea from one pocket
into the other.—New York Examiner. _

Wednesday morning, about nine o'clock, a dog,
evidently in a rabid state, was observed running across
Smithfield, his tongue protruding, and covered with saliva
and dust. After taking refuge in the shop of Mr. Fenton,
plumber, and creating great alarm, he was speedily ejected,
and followed by a crowd, ran into the cellar of a cook-
shop in Giltspur-street, where two policemen speedily
despatched him.

The sentence of the court was, that he be severely admo-
nished, and be put at the bottom of the list of Assistant-
Surgeons of the Royal Navy.—Brighton Gazette.
