discussing the merits of his motion when the mails left Paris
for London.

There is no other news of any interest in these Journals.
ESPARTERO boasts that by his rocent victories he has
clipped the wings of the PRETENDER'S ambition. Bilboa
is safe, and no fresh expedition can cross the Ebro. Thus
saith the Spanish Commander-in-Chief.

The latest advices from Madrid are of the 7th inst.
inclusive. The Chambers have legalized the Ministerial
Decree for imposing a new war subsidy to the amount of
sixty millions of rials upon Porto Rico and Cuba. The
Government by such means hopes to induce French and
English capitalists to enter into a contract for a fresh,loan,
but no money can be procured save on terms ruinous to
the future financial interests of the Peninsula. Our
Ambassador, Sir GEORGE VILLIERS, received on the
sth, despatches from the Northern Provinces, repre-
senting the recent victories obtained by ES?ARTERO
as tantamount to a breaking up of the Pretender's last
resources; and as the Commander-in-Chief deems it a
duty to make the world acquainted with the splendour of
his warlike achievements, the hall of the Cortes has re-
echoed the shouts of applause with which Ministers hailed
his Excellency's account of his recent victories at Balma-
ceda. Nevertheless, the real truth is that Spain was never
in a more deplorable condition than she is at this moment.
She is now without money, without credit, without avail-
able resources, without a firm Government, without a well
paid and well disciplined army, without a fleet, without an
officer, civil or military, of commanding character or
great talents ; her SOVEREIGN an infant, the REGENT an
intriguing female, and her extensive territory distracted
with all the horrors of a predatory civil war—which, after
four years of strenuous exertion on her part, is as potent
for evil as it was at the commencement. Such is the real
state of Spain ; and Heaven only knows when her condition
will be ameliorated.
