MADRID, DEc. 6.—The following important intelligence has
been just published here in an Extraordinary Supplement to
the Gazette :
" Major. General Don Casimiro Valdez, charged with the
command of Valencia, writes as follows, on the 3d inst., to the
Minister of War :
" Excellent Sir—General Don Cayctano Borso di Car-
minati, Commander-in•Chicf of the forces in pursuit of the
rebels who have invaded the Ribera, has written to me as fol-
lows, the night before last, from Chester—
" Excellent Sir—Having made a forced march of fourteen
hours, I was enabled to overtake the expeditionary forces of
the enemy. From Montserrat I ordered Colonel Pezuela to
advance on them with two squadrons of the 4th Regiment,
commanded by him, one of the 2d Light Cavalry, and a fourth
of the cavalry now organising about Valencia.
" The rebels sallied forth to receive them with seven bat-
talions and five squadrons. Pezuela, with the first squadron
of his regiment and the second light, charged them and dis-
persed their cavalry ; and the latter having joined the masses
of the infantry, these also were attacked and dispersed, leaving
400 dead on the field, and taking 200 prisoners, among them
twelve officers. In this splendid undertaking most of the
booty which they had made during their expedition has fallen
into my hands. Until lam able to communicate the de-
tailr, I send you this brief account of this most favourable ac-
tion, in order that through you it may reach the Government,
the worthy people of Valencia, and also the Commander-in-
Chief, Van Haien."

Another despatch from Chiva states the capture of 800 mus-
kets and a portion of the booty made by the faction.
Though these facts are not very fully detailed, still they are
of much importance, as showing that the expedition of Ca.
brera has been certainly checked.
In the course of the debate in the Senate yesterday, some
remarks of interest were made on the present quicksilver con-
tract by Senors Ochoa, Gonzalez, and Montevirgen. After
noticing several instances of malversation of the public revenues,
and severely commenting on the character of the servants of
the Government, Senor Ochoa went on to remark on the con-
tract with the Baron Rothschild. "By this contract," he
observed, " with the house of Rothschild, the Government
should receive the advance of SO millions of reals, guaranteed
by the quicksilver in hand, and the products of the mines for
five years; but if he were to assert that not only were the 50
millions not received, but not even one maravedi, what would
the public think? It appears indeed a paradox, but it is not
so."—Morning Chronicle.

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 30.—His Majesty
the Kieg will set out
on his journey to Norway on the 6th of next month, and arrive
at Christiansand on the 21st, where he will probably make a
long stay. On the 26th inst. there was a Chapter of the

CuPF.NHAGEN, DEC. 4.—ln the 40th sitting of the Estates
at Rotskcld, Deputy Meergaurd moved " that the Government
might be petitioned:to take into consideration the state of the

currency in the different parts of the kingdom, and, if pos
sible, to assimilate it to that of the Hanseatic cities of the
Grand Duchy of Oldenburg." This motion was warmly
seconded by M. Tateen, but it was opposed by the Royal
Commissioner, who thought it unnecessary, and added, that
the Estates at Rotskeld had no right to present a petition
founded on interests which chiefly concerned the duchies, and
part of Jutland. The motion was negatived by a majority of
38 to 24.

In the 47th, it was resolved, on the motion of Mr. Drew-
son, to present a petition, praying that Jews may be eligible
to the Assembly of the Estates.
