SPANISH FRONTIERS.

(Private Correspondence of the Constittitionnel.)
DX:RON°, JUKE 15.—Dun Carlos is at Tolosa, where he has col-
leeted 10 battalions and 150 cavalry. It is said that General Marotto
refuses to accept the chief command. The squadrons of Leon el Conde
have overthrown a detachment of Carlist horsemen who attempted to
get po,session of the Port of Alto. Espartero is still at Haro. He pro-
bably delays commencing his operations till Oraa has attacked Cabrera.
BAYONNE, JUNE 19.—Don Carlos, leaving Tolosa on the 15th in the
morning, stopped at Villa Franca, and stopped that night at Bergara.
On the 16th, at five o'clock, lie set out for Ellorrio, where he has for the
present taken up his abode.
Guerque has left Ciranqui, and gone to Echauri.
Brigadier General Carmona is at Zugurrarnurdi, with several Carlist
officers of engineers, who are tracing lines of fortifications on the iron.
tier, where there have been same disturbances.
There is no official article in the Moniteur of June '25.
M. Laity was removed yesterday to the prison of the Luxemburg,
where it is probable he will remain during the whole of the preliminary
proceedings.

We were mistaken in announcing the arrest of M. Thomassin, the
printer. Only search was made in his premises, and half a dozen copies
of H. Laity's pamphlet found there.
A letter from Oran informs us that Lieutenant-Gencral Rapatel was
at that time (June 13), very ill, and woujd go to Algiers. Abdel
Rader had returned to his favourite town, Tekedemta. He was carrying
on the works with considerable activity, being desirous of having a
fortress. The Emir has returned in a very bad plight from his expedi-
tion against Achinet, the Bey of Constantine. He has been completely
broken and put to flight. His influence, though very powerful, is on
the wane, for he has strictly forbidden his tribes to sell horses to us, and
the Commissioners for procuring horses for the cavalry can obtain more
than they want at Oran and Messerglin.—Constitutionnel.

" So shaken as we arc, so wan with care,
Find we a time for fright ed peace to past,
And breathe short winded accents of new broils
To be commenced in islands afar remote."

SUIKSPEARE.
Passing events are undoubtedly pregnant with much weal or woe to
the people of Ireland ; and, however peaceably and full of hope they
may be at the present moment, they are nevertheless feelingly alive to
the anticipated consequences of the three important Bills now before
the Legislature, should they become law without further alteration.
The Poor.law will be welcomed with that sort of distrust that accom.
panics a stranger who has not the good fortune to bring with him
many flattering recommendations from the countries which he last
visited, but whose purposes are understood to be friendly. It is re-
garded as a medicine, which the patient is compelled to take,
however apprehensive he may be as to the good or evil effects
of its operation, and like the drug, no doubt, much will de-
peed upon the quantity, and the skill exhibited in its administration.
Tise Corporation Bill, as passed by the House of Commons, will
generalafford satisfaction, even though the franchise should be ex-
tnded by the Lords to ten pounds in a few of the larger towns. But it
is impossible to say, how the tithe measure in contemplation, will be
received—or what will be its effects on the peace and prosperity of the
rural population of Ireland. I have long ago informed you that Lord
John Russell's resolutions at the commencement of the session, did not

and the numerous meetings, that have since been held, confirm my
statements. The 8.11 is now printed, and a ill, I dare say, be circulated
by the Press within a few days through the entire country. And, I
venture to predict, that the provisions of the sixth section will be pro-
ductive of any thing but content and satisfaction. By that section
power is given to the landlords to recover the " rent. charge" to be

theobnoxious against
stituted fur" tithe-ceruposition," against not only the persons now liable
parties who have not been hitherto vexed
or impost. The provisions are, that the land-
lord, becoming liable by this Bill, shall be entitled to recover the said
rent-charge, from " the most immediate lessee holding under him;"
and the latter, if not now liable, shall be entitled to recover the sauce
from his next " immediate sub-lessee ; and so on, downwards, each
lessee recovering from his sub_lessee." Now this is the very thing that
was all along apprehended, and which, In the present complex relation
of landlord and tenant, under the sub-letting system that still prevails
in this country to a great extent, must be productive of the very worst

consequences. Unless, therefore, the Irish Members shall apply them-
selves to the exposure of the cell consequences of this section, emd prevail
on Government to modify it so as to relieve Roman Catholics at least,
from its hardship and oppression, I fear, the entire measure will be a
failure. If a proviso were introduced, authorising the landlord, whose
" immediate lessee," being a Catholic, paid no more than one half of the
real value of the land, to receive compensation from the State or from
the Ecclesiastical Board, instead of from his Catholic tenantry, I think
it would work well, afford satisfaction, and not become onerous on the
State or the Ecclesiastical Board. I have heard this view of the matter
discussed by persons well acquainted with the tithe laws, condition of
society, and the relation of landlord and tenant in Ireland, and the con-
clusion they came to was, that such a provision would approximate
more to the very right and justice of the case, and to an equitable adjust.
most of the question, than any thing hitherto suggested. I have not
time now to enter into the calculations on which their conclusions rested ;
as the following facts illustrative of what have I have already said on
the general feeling respecting the measure have just come to my know-
ledge.
There was another meeting in the county of Wexford on Tuesday
last, called the meeting of " West Wexford," to consider the best
means of averting the evils attendant on the present tithe system. It
w,:s more numerously attended than any of the former meetings, and the
Chairman on this occasion was a Magistrate of the name of Carey, heir-
at-law to the large estates of Sir Edward Loftus, Batt., and possessing,
himself, considerable fee-simple property in the county. He has not
hitherto taken a prominent part in politics ; but he stated that an im-
perative sense of his duty to his country, and his anxiety to see the
neighbourhood in which he lives freed from the desolation of warfare
under which, for some weeks past, it has been placed by the execution of
the law of tithes—compelled him to join Isis neighbours in supplicating
the Legislature and Government to rescue them from the ruin impend.
ing over their peaceful habits and industry. It appears that during the
last three mouths that part of the county has been daily traversed by
military amid police in large numbers, under the orders of the Sheriff,
seeking for the persons and property of the inhabitants to satisfy the deli
-
mands of the tithe owners. The Chairman stated also that, anxious as he
was to uphold the Reformed Church in Ireland, of which his father and
grandfather had been Ministers, and to which himself, all his relations,
and connexions still stedfas:ly adhered, he could no longer refrain from
raising his voice against the unholy persecution in which its tempo-
ralities had now involver., it • . Not a single farmer in the surrounding
district kept his cattle on Isis own ground, or ventured to lie in his own
bed, while the harpies of the law were scouring the county in search of
their prey. The result was, that agriculture was neglected ; and though
famine and its awful consequences had threatened the people, they bail
resolved not to pay tithes as a condition of repose. The proceodings of
this meeting—at which resolutions against Tithes, An Vote by Ilallot,
Sc., and ofconfidence in O'Connell, were unanimously adopted—will be
fully reported in a day or two by the local Journals. In the meantime I
give you its leading features, and have only to add, that a petition to her
Majesty, from the landholders, traders, and other inhabitants Of the
county of Wexford, has been sent by deputation, requesting her Majesty
to confer the Peerage on that enlightened patriot Boyce, of Bannon,
whose large fortune and exemplary life, spent in the acquirement of

in general, entitle him to a seat iti that assembly of which he will be at
