PARIS, Our. 07.-The Journal des Debats of this
morninf.); gives the following indirect answer to the com-
plaints of the non-execution of the Quadruple Alliance :-
" The 050,000 francs which the foreign legion has just
received, had been sent to B4.yonno by the Ministry of M.
Isturiz, to accelerate the forma64T) and supply the fl7ll
wints of the new auxiliary corps, whi,cb were re-organising
on the frontier at the beginning of the month ef.: 4ugust.
The President of the Council Lass obtained from the Ca-
latrava Ministry a decision that this saw should be em-
ploye I for the pay of the foreign legion, which was mucl:
in arrear."
This fact alone is an answer to many suppositions of
misunderstandings between the two Governments, and
proves that the Ministry of the 6th September has not
ceaaAd to take the greatest interest in the constitutional
cause in Spain,
It seems that a stronger proof of interest would have
been not to suspend the organisation of the auxiliary legion.
We may add that in this same Number, the Journal
des Debats contains a letter from Malaga, which complains
of the refusal made to the French Consul to send a man-of-
war to be stationed in that port. A vessel, on the first ap-
Plicatim) of the English Consul, the only brig of war of
that nation that remained at Gibraltar, was immediately
sent to Malaga,
The Courrier Francais has the following ;---"A letter from
Madrid informs us that M. de Latour Maubourg, since his
arrival in that capital, has had one misadventure after an-
otii-tu•.-expulsion of his Secretary, M. Cazes, has
already been mentioned; The following is considered to be
equally certain, Immediately after his arrival, the Am-
bassador solicited a private audience of Quaeo Christina.
He was answered, in the (woo of the Queen arid the Pre-
sident of the Council, that an interview with the Queen
was unconstitutioj' and that he could not pretend to any
thing but a solemn audiene. M. de Latour lgaubourg ob-
served to M. Calatrava, that he was
missionedt.o deliver
an autograph letter from his Majesty Louis Plunpi;,?, his
sovereign, to Queen Christina, which he could not g;vo
except into the Queen's own hands. M. Calatrava did not
make him wait long for an answer. He replied to the
family Ambassador that such a permission would not be
granted him ; that the constitutional Queen could not have
conferences with ambassadors, except in the presence of the
Ministers ; that he might take this as a sufficient notice ;
and that, in future, all applications for such tin interview
would be disregarded."--Journal du Commerce, Oct. '27.

Cents. has been rather worse to-day, but with very little busi-
ness doing ; the opening price has been 791. 20c. to 25c. but
they have dropped to 79f. 10c. to lbc. The Spanish Active
Stock has remained stationary at 20+ to H.
The failure of a novel writer of some celebrity (the Vis-
count D'Arlingcourt), and who had lately worked a zinc mine
of considerable extent, produced a great sensation here to-day.
The amount of his engagements is 4,000,000 f., of which
1,500,0001., arc due to one banking firm.

SPAIN.
FIRST PREPARATORY MEETING OF THE CORTES.
MADRID, OCT. 17.—At half-past ten o'clock, the Se- 1
cretaries of State, and about 50 deputies having assembled
in the place appropriated for the meeting of the Cortes,
The Minister for the Home Department delivered the
following short speech :—" As there exists no permanent
deputation of the Cortes (this being the first meeting ac-
cording to the system of the Constitution), her Majesty has
directed me to read the list of the members who have in-
scribed their names at my department. Before doing so,
I must be permitted to congratulate you on the new era of
glory and prosperity for Spain which is about to open. It
is for this assembly henceforward to determine the destinies
of the country, and to apply a remedy to all its misfortunes.
I feel the greatest satisfaction in being the first to address
the Cortes of the Kingdom ; and the pride which I feel at
this moment, and which can only be appreciated by gene-
rous souls, solaces me for all the anxiety and care which ne-
cessarily attend a Minister of State."
The list of the deputies whose names were inscribed al
the Home Office was then read, as well as the list of all
the members elected, after which the Ministers withdrew.
Senor Gomez, be::7 the most aged deputy, was called
to the chair ; and Senors Olozaga and Cavallos, being the
youngest deputies, were named st:el,7,?turies•
The names of the members present wefo then called over.
The election of a Provisional President was next pro-
ceeded to. Senor Gomez Becerra obtained 55 votes, and
Don Augustin Arguelles 2. Senor Becerra was accor-
dingly chosen. Senors Olozaga and Cavallos were elected
Provisional Secretaries.
After the transaction of some other formal business, the
Cortes adjourned till the succeeding day, when the second
preparatory meeting was to be held.
By a Royal decree published in the Madrid Gazette of
the 18th, the amount of the retiring allowance to be re-
ceived henceforth by the public functionaries-is to be fixed,
not in proportion to the salary assigned to those offices in
former periods, but in proportion to the salary settled or to
lac settled by new regulations.
We are informed that at ten o'clock last night an extra-
ordinary courier from the Asturias reached the War-office,
communicating the fact that the Portuguese division was
distant only three leagues from the band of Sanz. This
baud is already surrounded by the divisions of Peon and
Castaneda. It is to be hoped that the enemy has, ere this
time, received a mortal blow, and that we shall soon receive
intelligence of the extermination of this horde of Vandals.
—Liberal of the 18th.
Lieutenant-Colonel Don Manuel Perez Fanosa writes
from Tineo, under date of de Bth current, that 77 brave
National Guards, of Tineo, Cangas, and Navia, had cleared
that town of the Navarrese faction by the aid of three
vigorous charges with fixed bayonets. Although this was
the first time the greater part of the National Guards had
attacked to numerous a body, they nevertheless displayed
the greatest ardour to deliver the neighbourhood from the
pest of the rebels. The night favoured the enterprise, and
only two were wounded.—Madrid Gazette of the 18th.
'The Commandant-General of the Asturias hai appointed
Dort Manuel Perez Fanosa Governor of Oviedo, as a re-
compense for his services and patriotism. The appoint-
ment has been referred to the War Minister for contirma-
tion.—Madral Gazette of the 18th.
SAN SEBASTIAN, OCT. 20.—The all-engrossing subject
here is that of a meditated attack upon our lines by the
rebel Villareal, with eighteen battalions. So positive was
the information sent to General Evans, that on this morn-
ing he and his staff were on horseback at four o'clock, in-
specting the works : the regiments were retained under
arms during the entire of the night, pickets doubled, and
all the requisite cautions in case of a sudden attack, rigidly
attee:ded to. This intelligence was conveyed to the Lieu-
tenant-General from Bayonne, Behobia, and Iran. At
Oyarsun rations for ten thousand men were ordered by
the Carlist leader, so sa:.l the informant. That Villareal,
with a numerous force, is in the neighbourhood is, I be-
lieve, generally deaeptained. An attack by him must be
attended with heavy lees to his followers. 'MA true our
forces are comparatively insigrOeent, the taking away of
the Spanish regiments was most unevh,e and impolitic, but
still our fortifications are good, and our " SearP4n ramparts,"
the men, still better. The force which it would tike
to drive in the lines is much more than the factious
Chief can bring to his aid. The eetreme right,
Ayetta, is the one least defended, or the intermediate
point between Alza and Serategui, at one of which
places, in all probability, the assault would be made, but I
do not think that after the affair of the Ist, they will be
again anxious to have another encounter. From our bat-
tery at Puyu several Carlist officers could be seen recon-
noitering the various posiaens on Ametza. All is tranquil,
"usually so. From this eircuMStai:ce would I even draw
the conebeion that they are maturing their pja„ opera-
tion. I perfeetly well remember that for two days previous
same apparent

conversed, it is usual with them to observe this rule prior
to any move, The same precaution is again taken on to-
night by order of General Evans, and every man is pre-
pared to do his duty. His Britannic Majesty's steam
packet Phenix threw some shells from the harbour
at Ametza : the object being to find the range of
the hill, in case circumstances should require. Nothing
