tity of provisions, ammunition, and arms, which had been stolen.
Zhe Colonel has been so exasperated with the conduct of the
out-posts; liat he ordered the whole village to be burnt, except
the church. The sick being withdrawn, this measure was put
in execution. Many concealed Carlists, found in the houses,
were brouE,,ht out and shot. According to a report from the
Captain-General of Aragon, about 990 more rebels have come
in, and claimed the benefit of the. amnesty ; and Brigadier
Nogeras announces from. Alcoriza, on the 15th, that the insur-
gents were reduced to a few small bands. • A new amnesty
has been proclaimed. On the 19th a convoy left Saragossa for
Logrono, escorted by a battalion of the Foreign Legion, which

BOURSF, Tulin o'CLocx.—A great discouragement pre-
vails in the market, owing to the favourable reception of the
motion of conversion proposed by M. Gouin yesterday in the
Chamber. It is feared this may bring on another modification
of the Ministry, so that the Three per Cents. fell at Tortoni's
to 80f. 40c., and have been, after some trifling fluctuations, done
at 80f. 30c. on 'Change. The Spanish securities are alse

The capital was exceedingly tranquil. The people
were most anxious to learn the result of the late hostile
movements of the belligerents in the Basques, but
CORDOVA'S dispatches had not arrived on the morn-
ing of the 23d. It had been feared that the closing
of the convents on the 17th would have excited some
stir among the people, but no attempt was made to
disturb the public peace. MENDIZABAL is as popu-
lar as ever, and quite as indefatigable in carrying on
the business of the Government.

ODE TO MR. EMMERSON

TENNENT'S WIG.

" There has lately been a dinner at Belfast, at which that prince
of mountebanks, Emmurson Tennent, was present. He wears a
big, remarkable ss ig, of which I should like to get an attested copy,
for I believe it to be worth more than all his political exertions.'
( Vide O'Connell's speech to the Dublin Trades' Union. )

Haste, oh haste„ye Muses nine
From Parnassian realms divine ;
One and all on favouring wing, -
Haste, and aid me while I sing,
With Pindaric phrenzy
Belfast Tennent's Orange wig !
Tis the wig of wigs, well fitted
To be lauded, and be-dittied,
For it kindly covers o'er
Longer ears than Midas wore ;
And like the good old cap and bells,
Of which the nursery legend tells,
Supplies by its eccentric fit,
Its lucky owner's want of wit.

Yes, 'tis this that gives him sense,
And rounds his Orange eloquence ;
Scriptural annalists declare
Sampson's might was in his hair ;
But thine—altho' tis infra dig—
Thine, My Tennent's, in thy wig :
For what were all thy jokes and sneers,
All thy stunning party cheers,
Without that wig to point them duly,
And make thine hearers all,—unruly,
Despite the murmurs of the Chair—
Shout—laugh—cheer—wonder—gape, and stare?

Swift has told us, years ago,
'Tis not feeling's generous glow,
(Deny his axiom who can,)
But the dress that makes the man ;
So, in Tennent's case, remember,
Tis the wig that makes the Member :
Jove-like, when he bids it shake,
All the Belfast Papists quake,
And fain would lay a heavy tax on
The voice that speaks in such a caxon ;
E'en O'Connell and his Tail,
When they hear it storm and rail,
Start, and feel their courage fail ;
So, of old, the eagle tribe,
As £sop tells us, pleasant scribe,
Were panic-struck by the abuse
Of a green, dogmatic goose !
Lucky Tories, who possess
In this, your season of distress,
Allies with such vast influence big,
As Sibtborp's whiskers—Tennent's wig !
This, by love's sweet spell, enthralls
The female world of Liberals ;
That, by sterner power, prevails
O'er the same wide world of males,
While both—for which you should adore them.-
Bid fair to carry all before them ! I

DEVIZES.-FRIDAY.

One of the representatives for this borough, Admiral Sir
Philip Durham, has received the appointment of Port-Admi-
ral at Portsmouth, and, in consequence has announced to his
constituents his intention to resign his seat immediately on the
meeting of Parliament.
Captain J. W. D. Dundas, R.N., of Barton Court, near
Hungerford, who contested the borough at the last elec-
tion, with Mr. Estcourt, (a Tory,) and lost his election by
12 votes only, owing to Mr. Estcourt's personal influence
in the town, and his being in the field first—received a few
weeks since a requisition to come forward on the first vacancy,
from a majority of the electors.

He has obeyed this requisition by presenting himself to the
electors this morning, and immediately made a canvass of the
borough.
We are happy to say that he has received the decided pro-
mises of a large majority of the whole of the electors, and his
return is perfectly sure, even if opposed by the richest Tory in
the kingdom.
We may therefore congratulate the electors of Devizes
upon getting so decided a Reformer, and so sterling a man, for
the successor of Sir P. Durham.
