to cross three navigable rivers; and, on the left of the
Eo, which separates the Asturias from Gallicia, he
would find the troops which are tinder the command
of the Captain-General of that kiug,doui. Will he,
then, attempt, to force the Cot de Pajo yes, on the

El Nudo, or the knot, because it is there that all the
defiles of the mountains come to a point. But Gene-
ral MA NSO has posted there the Portuguese division,
and the Captain-General of Gallicia, who has just
destroyed the band of LOPEZ at Logo. This divi-
sion would block up the way for him, and would give
ESPA RTERO time to COMC up. Everything, there-
fore, concurs in inducing the idea that the band of
GomEz is threatenA with speedy and inevitable de-
struction."

Upon this statement, or whatever else it may be
called the Journal des Debuts has the following com-
mentary :-
" According to the official report of the Captain-General
of Old Castile, dated Oviedo, the 11th, Gomez slept on the
10th at Salas, eight leagues from Oviedo, beyond the rivers
Ravin and Narcea. General Espartcro in pursuit, slept the
same night at Grado, four leagues behind. It was not known
what route Gomez took on quitting Salas, whether that by
the litteral, or the mountain road by Cangas de Tinco. Nor
is it known, if he went by the latter, whether he would pro-
ceed toward Galicia, by the valley of Ibias in the direction of
Doncos, in order to gain the province of Orense, or whether
he would descend straight to the south by the mountains of
Leon. Some account of Gomez's course would be more in-
teresting than a host of conjectures, however plausible. No-
thing is known of his march subsequent to the 10th, but proba-
bly its aim is the district of Orense, adjoining the Portuguese
province of Tras-os-Montes. Now the Portuguese Brigade
left Leon but on the Bth for Villafranca del Vierzo, in order to
cut off Gomez from Orense, and it is not certain that the corps
has arrived in time for the purpose."
The upshot of all this is that neither the French Go-
vernment nor the French Press know anything of what
is passing in Galicia. The Madrid Gazette of the
16th, brought the latest correct intelligence respecting
GomEz's expedition, and that intelligence only
reached to the 12th, when EsPARTERo by reason of
his delay at Oviedo, had allowed the enemy two whole
days march in advance of his columns.
The Phare de Bayonne of the 23d, says that
General BERNELLE left Pampeluna on the 17th at
the head of eight battalions, taking the road to
Estella. On the 19th he passed time Arga at Puenta
la Reyna, where he reconnoitered eight Carlist batta-
lions stationed near the river. They occupied strong
positions in front of Estella, and were reinforced on
the same evening by three fresh "battalions. This
movement on the part of BERNELLE was made as a
diversion in favour of CORDOVA, who was preparing
to make a grand attack on Onate. The General-in-
Chief had on the 14th held a Council of War at
Vittoria, when it was resolved to proceed actively
against the enemy.

The following are extracts from the Journals :----
PARIS, JULY 25.-At 'Change to-day Spanish Stock was
rather more firm. With respect to the Spanish Stock, we
must attribute this to the news of the elections published by
the Moniteur this morning. The nomination of M. Martinez
de la Rosa, which was strongly supported by the ministry,
has a little raised the spirit of the partisans of M. Isturiz.
They flatter themselves with obtaining the advantage in a
great many provinces, but it is doubtful whether these hopes
will be realised. In fact, private letters from several parts of
Spain, received to day, announce that in most of the electoral
colleges, everything indicates the triumph of the Opposition.
M. Isturiz, if we may believe several letters, does not seem
wholly to participate in the illusions of his partisans. A proof
of this may be found in the plan which it is affirmed he has
conceived of delaying the opening of the Cortes till the end
of October, in order to wait for events. If this project should
be carried into effect, it is to be feared that fatal conse-
quences will ensue, and that the population of Madrid and
the provinces will manifest by disorders and tumults their dis-
approbation of such a delay.
There is no news respecting the military operations. Don
Carlos has not quitted his head-quarters at Villa Franca, as
was reported. Cordova remains inactive. Nothing is known
of the march of the several columns sent against Gomez, the
object of whose movements was to surround the Carlist Chief.
A letter from Bayonne of the 21st says, " Some reports
have been spread in this city relative to the demoralization of
the troops forming the English Legion.. These reports state
that General Evans had thought it prudent to abandon a part
of his line from Passage to St. Sebastian, finding himself
more and more pressed by the Carlists. It is difficult to give
credit to this report, or we must believe that General Evans
entirely despairs of the cause which he defends."
A letter from Behobie says, " The Carlists have sent seve-
ral pieces of artillery to Irun ; it is said that they are prepa-
ring another infernal machine, and that the fort will soon be
attacked more vigorously than ever. A subaltern officer has
deserted from the fort to the insurgents. It is probable that
he has given them some information which may serve to direc
them in their attack."--illassaaer, July 26.
