fathers, the Bishops, who, for more than ten years have I
exercised their pastoral and ruling functions in their re-
spective dioceses. The Judges of the Supreme Tribunal
of Justice who shall have discharged their functions
for more than ten years. Those persons who, being
distinguished for their eminence in science, litera-
ture, the arts, the administration, the navy, commerce,
industry, or agriculture, shall also have fulfilled the func-
tions of Deputy to the Cortes during two Parliaments.
The Proceres who shall be chosen as such under the pre-
ceding category, shall never exceed in number two-thirds of
the whole of this Chamber.

ness-he will at last so weary, distract, and enervate
the minds of the people, that they will not be able to
oppose him in the execution of his ulterior designs.
Never was delusion more hollow. Even were the
KING to succeed, it would be only to pave the way
for the return of the BOURBON dynasty. HENRY
V., and not the Duke of ORLEANS, would profit by
this treason against the majesty of the people and the
laws. Russia but awaits an opportunity to upset the
ORLEANS dynasty, and that opportunity will only ar-
rive when Don CARLOS has ascended the throne of
Spain. The principle of legitimacy and absolutism,
if once triumphant in the Peninsula, will not brook
the neighbourhood of what it will regard as the conse-
cration of mob ascendancy. This, we undertake to
assert, is the general opinion among the Tories in this
country. They laud the neutral policy of the CITI-
ZEN-Kir:lt, because they are really convinced that it
will terminate in the downfall of his dynasty. The
opposition with which Ministers are threatened in the
Chambers may, however, lead to a considerable change
in the system of policy hitherto adopted by the French
Cabinet. It is possible that means will be adopted to
conciliate M. THEIRS, whom the KING may be forced
,o recal to his Councils before the close of the session.

BOURSE, QUARTER TO FOUR.—The funds rose to-day consi-
derably, owing to extensive purchase made by the Caisse de
Consignations, it being the wish of Government to raise the
Three per Cents. as high as possible, to-morrow being the day
for detaching the Coupons (paying the dividends) of that stock.
There is ao news from from Spain of any importance other,
than that given in the Moniteur, but Spanish stock followed
the ascending movement of the French. Two defaulters were
announced ; one of them a Coulissier of some note, the other
a merchant. Both were crushed by the rise of prices.
The bridge over which Espartero crossed near Bilboa was
sent him from Bayonne by General Harispe.

The Moniteur of Tuesday contains the following
telegraphic despatches from Narbonne and Bayonne
relative to the state of affairs in the north and south of

Spain :
" NARBONNE, DEC. I.—On his entering Albacette it was
feared that Cabrera would march upon Valencia, That
Chief, united to Palillos, having 1,000 horse, was on the
19th at Menaya, raising contributions everywhere, and in-
tercepting the communications. General San Miguel had
moved towards New Castille. The Catalan Chief Llan-
gostera, with 2,500 Carlists, took on the 20th Onda, which
he left after raising a contribution.
The Captain of a ship has arrived at the Grao of Va-
lencia without papers, owing to the flight of the authorities
on the approach of Gomez, whose vanguard was at three
leagues from Seville.
" A riot, the object of which was to expel the authori-
ties, as not sufficiently advanced in the movement, was on
the 27th repressed at Barcelona. Ros d'Eroles was on the
29th at eight leagues from Puycerda, with 1,500 Carlists.
The Captain-General Serano arrived at Figueras on the
29th with 900 men. lie was to move to Olot on the Ist

of December."
Telegraphic despatch from Bayonne of the 3d December,
the first part of which was published on the sth :
" Irribaren has marched upon Azagra, and General Clo-.
nard upon Puente la Reyna, to prevent the passage of seve-
ral hundred horses taken in Andalusia, and money which
Cabrera, who was on the 29th on the Ebro with a batta-
lion, was endeavouring to forward to Don Carlos."
" BAYONNE, DEC. 4, noon.—They write from Madrid
on the 30th that Gomez, after going near Gibraltar, re-
turned to Alcala de Gazules on the 24th, leaving Ribero
behind him ; Narvaez at Alga ; and Alai% near Übrique,
hoping to surround him.
" BAYONNE, DEC. s.—Two hundred and fifty. men of
the Royal Guard having mutinied at Madrid, fortified them-
selves in their barracks, where, after sustaining the fire of
artillery during an hour, they surrendered at discretion.
On the morning of the 30th, three of them were shot on
place. The troops, National Guards, and authorities, have
done their duty.
" Madrid was quiet on the 30th."
The flight of the authorities from Seville is of a
piece with the absurd boasting of these cowardly dema-
gogues in every part of Spain. They arc heroes in a
street blew'', but cravens in the presence of real dan-
ger. Freedom is abused by the connection of such
wretches with its sacred cause. If the''citizens of Se-
ville have one spark of honour, they will instantly de-
pose every magistrate who left the city when menaced
by the approach of the enemy. Were the hands of
the Government sufficiently powerful, orders should
be given to bring the skulking cowards to trial for
treason against the State. •
The position of GOMEZ, as stated in the despatch,
dated the 4th 'instant, given above, is perilous in the
extreme. The Alcala de los Gazules is a small town
in the Sierra Ronda, some few leagues to the left of
Guacin, in the direction of Cadiz. Übrique is the
nearest village in a due northerly direction, so that
ALAIX had a favourable opportunity of retrieving his
lost character, by coming to blows with the rebels.
The situation of REBEIRO and NARVAEZ was such
as to render the escape of GOMEZ all but impossible.

It is rumoured in the city, on the authority of pri-
vate letters from Bayonne, that ESPARTERO entered
Bilboa on the 2d instant. If this news be correct,
the game is up with the Carlists in the north of Spain.
We have not learned that a battle was fought between
ESPARTERO and VILLAREAL.

The Spanish Constitution of 1812 appeared in our
columns immediately after its recent adoption by the
QUEEN-REGENT. Its substance is, therefore, suffi-
ciently known to the readers of The Sun. They are
likewise aware that one of the first acts of the present
Cortes, after a majority of the Chamber had reached
the capital, was to appoint a Committee •to report
upon any amendments that might be necessary to
make it harmonize with the altered circumstances of
the country. The report of that Committee has been
made public, and one of its first recommendations is
the establishment of a second legislative Chamber or
Senate. The other amendments are, of so trifling a na-
ture that we may pass' them over in silence ; but as
the Constitution of the New Spanish Chamber
rbeesetilititemreosmtinego all classes of English-
men,
quote the article, as
submittedthwbeiylPl the Government of Madrid to the French
Cabinet :
