SPAIN.

BAYONNE, OCT. 26.—The affairs at Pampeluna
have not had the terrible consequences that there was reason to
apprehend. However, to fulfil the promise made to the troops
of the garrison to bring the guilty to trial,. Colonel Garces and
Captain Salaberri, both belongifig to the Army of the Faith,
have been sentenced to the punishment of death, by the Mili-
tary Tribunal, and they were executed accordingly last Wed-
nesday. The proceedings against the officers and subalterns
who are prisoners; are carrying on with great activity, and it is
believed that some more victims will be sacrificed.

Quesada, though the Journal of Saragossa thought him to be
at Balaguer. on the 15th, arrived on the 22d in Navarre, with
1,600 men, in a most wretched condition, in consequence of
the fatiguing march which they had just made. He immedi-
ately took up a position in the' valley of Roncal. body of
700 Constitutional troops, which followed him from Arragon,
has joined the troops under General Espinosa, who the day be-
fore yesterday were marching towards the valley of Roncal,
Colonel Alexander O'Donnell, of the regiment called " Im-
perial Alexander," is said to have been appointed to the coin.-
mand of the troops in the fifth military division, Navarre and
the three provinces of Biscay, in the room of General Espinosa,
which would suspend the journey of his brother Don Carlos,
who is at Bayonne, and was on the point of entering Spain.
The assassination of the soldiers of Colonel Dos Pelos has
excited the highest indignation in the minds of the people oil
these frontiers.

The Committee of the Faith assembled at Bayonne, displays
extraordinary activity. They expect here General Don Carlos
Espana, who, it-is said, is going to take the command on our
frontiers, by order of the Regency at Urgel. They have just
organized here a.Junta or General Staff, and a General Inten-
dancy for the three Biscayan Provinces. All the, orders and
acts to be issued by them' will hear the motto at the head—Re-
ligion, the King, or Death.—We see .by this that they have
thrown aside the mask. The individuals who are to form a part
of these three departments of the administration are on the point
of setting out for Spain.
It is said that a Portuguese General, who was flying to
France, has been arrested at Vittoria, and assassinated by the
constitutionalis, who found on• him papers of a revolutionary
tendency, We give no credit to this news, -especially as
we cannot tell'wheuce it can have come, the post not having
yet arrived.

ATTEMPT TO MURDER THE EARL OF CRAVEN'S
GAME-KEEPER.Between 12 and 1 o'clock on last Wednes-
day night, as John "Watts, game-keeper to the Earl of Craven,
at Coomb Abbey, near Coventry, was out in the grounds in
quest of poachers, he detected two desperate poachers, named
Peter Smith and John Porter, setting snares for game : the
villains finding they were discovered determined to murder
him ; they attacked him with hedge-stakes, knocked him
down, and inflicted several tremendous blows on his head,
and every part of his body, leaving him for dead ; in this
shocking situation he was found shortly after by two men,
who had previously been in company with him, but who
had parted with him for the purpose of exploring other parts of
the grounds; he was carried home apparently lifeless, and put
to bed, a sugeon was immediately procured, who dressed his
wounds ; his skull was dreadfully fractured, and several deep
wounds andlbruises all over his body : however, he recovered the
use of his speech so as to be able to tell tl . name of the villains
'who so basely attacked him; fearful of his death his depositions
were taken before a illagimrate, and a warrant issued for the ap-
prehension of the assassins, who fled that part of the country. On
Thursday the warrant was put into the hands of two Coventry
constables, who succeeded in tracing the villains up to London,
and discovered that they had taken up their lodgings at the
George public-house, in St. John's-street, Clerkenwell. . The
constables repaired at twelve o'clock the same night (Friday)
to the police-office, Hatton-garden, for assistance, and Charles
Brown the officer, accompanied them to the George, where they
found the two villains in bed in the attic : they locked them up
for the night in one of the strong rooms at the police-office,
Hatton-garden, and on Saturday they were handcuffed toge-
ther, and conveyed, in the custody of the two constables, in a
post-coach to Coventry. The constables stated, that when they
left home poor Watts was speechless, and that they had no
doubt but he would be dead before their return.
