LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 4, 1836

Great excitement prevailed in the City this morning
in consequence of a rumoured account of the
death of General EVANS at St. Sebastian. It
was stated on 'Change that Lord PALNIERSTON
had received an official communication, announ-
cing this melancholy event at a late hour last
night. We arc happy to be able to affirm that up to
the hour at which we write (half past two o'clock),
no such account has been received at the Foreign
Office. We have in vain sought to trace this rumour
to some authentic source ; and the only conclusion to
which we have come is, that it was fabricated with a
view to influence the money-market. Gen. EVANS had
been for several weeks in a weak state of health ; but at
the date of the last regular accounts from St. Sebastian
he was fast recovering. At no time during his illness
was his life supposed to be in any danger.

The Jewish Civil Disabilities Bill was read a se-
cond time last night in the House of Commons, when,
as a matter of course, the Member for the University
of Oxford " strongly protested against proceeding with
such a measure at the very conclusion of the session.
The practical effect," he added, " of the measure,
would be to unchristionize the country." This remark
gives us a pretty fair insight into the sort of Christianity
that is popular among the Oxford Tories. Common
sense and liberality would have said that the essence
of the Christian religion consisted in toleration, and in
doing unto others as you would they should do unto
you ; but Sir ROBERT INGLis says—No ; he just re-
' verses the case, and maintains that Christianity is nei-
ther more nor less than a synonym for intolerance and
persecution. Emancipate the Jews—so runs his hypo-
thesis—do an act of justice to your fellow-countrymen,
by repairing the accumulated wrongs that centuries of
bigotry have heaped up on their heads—do this, and
you at once strike at the root of revealed religion.
What a libel is this on the established faith of the
country ! In its intolerance the sentiment is worthy
almost of a Bishop. It is gratifying, however, "to see
that the House did not participate in the Hon. Mem-
ber for Oxford's bigotry. The CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER manfully observed, " his Honourable
Friend had said that the Jews were a nation apart from
this, but what had made them so ? The barbarous
policy that had been pursued towards them. He was
anxious to make England their country and their home,
and that they should be placed on the same footing as
the rest of the KING'S Government. Complaints were
make of their being a distinct people, but exclusive
laws had been enacted respecting them." On a divi-
sion, after a short discussion had taken place on the
subject, the Bill was read a second time by a majority
of 17 !—a majority, however, which will only have
the effect of giving the people another proof of the
irreclaimable bigotry of the Lords, for they will be
sure to kick out the measure, as they will any other
that has justice and liberality for its foundation.

The proceedings which took place last night in the
House of Commons, while the Bribery at Elections
Bill was under discussion, deserve the serious consi-
deration of the public, and particularly that part of
the public whose lot it is to be represented by the
Hon. Members for Lincoln and Durham. The object
of the Bill is to put an end to the bribery which
prevails at elections—an evil of the worst kind,
which is universally acknowledged to exist to a
great extent, and which every one pretends to lament.
Yet, will it be believed, when a measure is proposed for
checking this demoralizing system of corruption, up
start two champions in its defence, the gallant Colonel
SIBTIIORP and the chivalrous Mr. A. TREVOR.
The first of these worthies, the hero of whiskered
notoriety, at the instigation no doubt of the mighty
power who presides over the city of bells, took up a
position in the very front of the battle, and sturdily
opposed the motion for going into Committee, con-
cluding one of his most argumentative and eloquent
orations, by moving that the Bill be read a second
time that day six months—this course, be it observed,
being dictated entirely by a sense of duty. There
lies the charm of the thing. It would have been
nothing, had not the endeavour to continue bribery
and corruption proceeded from a sense of duty.
The gallant Colonel found a second worthy of
himself, and of the great cause which he undertook to
support, in Mr. A. TREVOR. " What !" exclaimed
the Hon. Member, in a paroxysm of Christian phi-
lanthropy, " are we to be precluded from performing
' acts of charity and benevolence' towards our con-
stituents—was such an atrocious law as this ever heard
of, even among heathens and savages ?" Never.
The Hon. Member for Durham then went on to state,
that as long as there were 101. voters, and such con-
stituencies as those of the Minories and Wapping,
bribery was the necessary result, and therefore—mark

the sequitur—it was useless to attempt to do away
with it. What will the inhabitants of the Tower
Hamlets and the ten-pounders throughout the king-
dom say to this doctrine ?
The Bill passed through the Committee ; the two
Members whom we have mentioned throwing every
obstacle in its way which lay within their small capa-
bilities. By repeated divisions—no less than five—in
two of which they were joined by another kindred spirit
whose name we have not yet learned, they gained one
object, namely, the wasting of the time of the House,
and the necessary postponement of other public busi-
ness, which would otherwise have been gone through.

Madrid Journals to the 27th ult. have been received.
The excitement occasioned by the rumour of the ap-
pearance of the Carlists within two leagues of La
Granja, had, in a great measure, subsided without the
commission of any act of violence. On the 25th a
bull-fight, which was attended by a large body of na-
tional guards, was disturbed by some individuals shout-
ing " Long live Liberty !" " Death to the Minis-
ters I" but no response was made to such shouts by the
multitude present. The Madrid Gazette states that
on the morning of the 21st, the Carlists, under
GOMEZ, quitted Santiago, and took the road to Co-
runna and Betanzor. The Captain-General of Galicia
had likeivise moved by the bridge of St. Justo towards
Sabrado and Lugo. The latter town was occupied by
ESPARTERO, when GOMEZ marched out of Santiago.
It was believed in Paris on Tuesday that, on the 25th,
GOMEZ had entered Corunna, in spite of all the exer-
tions made by his pursuers to overtake him.
The Madrid Gazette contains another official
contradiction to the 'rumours afloat, respecting
negotiations being carried on between the PRE-
TENDER and the QUEEN'S Government. The
Gazette declares that the Government will never con-
descend to treat with Don CARLOS till he has laid
down his arms, and formally relinquished all right to
the Crown of Spain.
The recal of CORDOVA was still spoken of as en-
gaging the attention of the Government. The QUEEN
and IsTuaiz are both opposed to such a step ; but
three of the Ministers threaten to resign unless it be
taken without delay.

M. DE RAYNEVAL, the French Ambassador at
Madrid, has prayed his Government to recal him.
The KING has consented. Marshal MOLITAR will
succeed RAYNEVAL at the Court of Madrid.

According to the Revista, the Captain-General of
New Castile has ordered that all persons found tra-
velling without passports shall be liable to trial by
Court Martial.

The Paris papers of Tuesday have been received.
The Moniteur of that date contains the following
official announcement :
" Two English and one Spanish battalion left St. Sebas-
tian on the 30th July for Santander, on board three steamers,
to reinforce Iriarte, to stop Gomez, and thus give time to
Espartero to overtake him."

It was rumoured in Paris that the QUEEN REGENT
had made another application to the French Govern-
ment, entreating a more active intervention, as the
very stability of the throne of her august daughter was
endangered by the recent successes of the Carlists. On
Monday night at a late hour, M. BOIS LE COMTE
left the office of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and
immediately set out for Madrid, charged with the offi-
cial answer of the French Government to the request
of the REGENT. The precise words are not known,
but it is surmised that the purport is favourable. Now
that the throne of ISABELLA 11. is stated to be in
peril, the King of the FRENCH is disposed to take an
active part in putting down the rebellion. To effect
this, without declaring a war of open extermination
against the Carlists, Louts PHILIPPE consents to hold
out inducements to the different corps on the frontier to
enter Spain as volunteers; to augment the troops now
composing_ the Foreign Legion, under the command of
General BERNEL LE ; and encourage voluntary en-
listment for the service of her Most Catholic MA-
JESTY throughout France. His Most Christian MA-
JESTY further pledges himself, that if this aid prove
not sufficient to guarantee to the QUEEN the rightful
possession of the Spanish Crown, then will her MA-
JESTY find in France an ally disposed to risk
everything to maintain the faith of treaties. Such are
the rumours in circulation in Paris, and we have every
reason to believe them well founded. In the mean
time, it is to be regretted that France, England, and
Portugal do not see, in the present direful condition of
Spain, a justification for the most prompt and direct
intervention. They have hung back too long ; nor
can they now be persuaded, by the blustering of
Spanish bulletins, that the war will terminate for
years to come, unless the QUEEN'S allies make her
quarrel their own, and unite boldly together, to
drive Don CARLOS out of the Peninsula. The
longer the war is allowed to continue, the more difficult
be the task of restoring tranquillity, healing the
wounds of the country, and leading back the people to
those habits of peaceful industry which disappear under
the desolating footsteps of agrarian insurrection. A
cry has been raised which has been echoed in the
House of Commons about the propriety of leaving
the parties interested to settle their disputes as
they best may. This is sheer nonsense, when
we have already pledged ourselves that one of
the disputants must come off successful. Had
our Government not signed the Quadruple treaty,
and were the Queen of SPA IN and her uncle the Pre-
tender engaged in a mere contest for the possession of
such a bauble as a crown, without regard to princi-
ples involving the existence of a representative Go-
vernment—then indeed it might be very properly ob-
jected to us, that we had no right to meddle in the dis-
pute, but leave Spain herself to decide it after her
own fashion. But now the question is very different.
We are pledged to maintain the QUEEN'S right of
succession, and we connot get rid of that pledge. As
we will not allow DON CARLOS to ascend the Throne
of Spain, why suffer him to saturate the soil with
the blood of patriots to attain what we know and
declare to be unattainable ? Why allow him to fill
the country with bloodshed and crime—to drive peace,
industry, and all the kindlier affections from the land—
to school men, who otherwise would never he guilty of
a breach of the laws, in habits of the grossest im-
morality, and all the vices which strike at the very root of
social order—to change the toiling peasant into an as-
sassin and an outlaw—why suffer the Pretender to do all
this, if even success cannot secure for him the
Spanish Crown ? By a prompt interference, we would
prevent the dreadful tragedies which are now acted in
every part of Spain. This, surely, is the course which
sound policy, and an enlarged humanity, would impel
us to adopt, were we, in conjunction with France, to
be guided by their wholesome influence.
The Carlist General-in-Chief, VILLAREAL, an-
nounces a victory over the QUEEN'S troops on the
19th ult., near the valley of Mena, in which he cap-
tured three hundred of the enemy, with their arms,
equipments, and ammunition. From the same ques-
tionable authority we learn that GOMEZ made eight
hundred and twenty prisoners in the Asturias, includ-
ing twenty-four officers. VILLAREAL was also
making preparations for attacking Vittoria, which has
been abandoned by the valiant CORDOVA without
firing a shot, or providing the garrison with the proper
means of defence !

The only other interesting news in the French
papers may be gathered from the subjoined extracts.
The King of NAPLES will reach Paris h the course
of this week, where his appearance will cause consi-
derable pleasure, more especially to the female branches
of the ORLEANS family. The Princess MARY and
the Princess CLEMENTINA of ORLEANS have both
hearts and hands to dispose of, and it is very certain
that both would mightily prefer Crowned Kings to all
other suitors. So likewise would their Royal Parents,
who are very uneasy about the settlement of the female
branches of the family. Besides, a match with the
King of NAPLES would be one step towards procur-
ing for the Duke of ORLEANS the hand of an Aus-
rian Archduchess, for whose affections his Neapolitan
MAJESTY is reported to have some chance of becoming
a successful suitor.
PARIS, AUGUST 2.—We are assured that the Government
at Madrid absolutely refuses to consent to the departure of the
Auxiliary Portuguese Legion, which the Cabinet of Lisbon
has officially required.—Memorial Bordelais.
It is said that the Carlist column of Basilio Garcia took on
its passage through Loria 400,000 reals, and that the inhabi-
tants of the town joined to take them, after having disarmed
and taken the horses belonging to some of the cavalry of the
National Guard.—Phare. _ _

Besides the nomination of Villa Real to the rank of Lints,

nant-General and Commander-in-Chief, Don Carlos has pro-
moted Pablo Sans to the rank of Major-General, and Castor
Andechager to that of Brigadier-General of infantry.—

Baron de Meur, formerly Viceroy of Navarre, has taken the
command of the second division of the army of the Queen, in
the room of Mendez Vigo, who is appointed Minister of War.

Guitarea fell again into the hands of the Queen's troops on
the 26th. Jauregui, at the head of two battalions, which were
embarked at St. Sebastian, made himself master of the place,
without opposition. It has been entirely dismantled by the
Carlists.—lbid.

The Imaine corvette, which sailed from Toulon for Ancona,
on the 21st of July, has on board 300 men, to take the room
of those men belonging to the garrison of that place, whose
time of service is expired, and who have obtained furloughs.—

HANovER, JULY 2G.—The treaty relative to the Export
and Import Duties between Hanover and Oldenburg, dated
the Gth of May last, has been published to-day by the fol-
lowing letters patent, and will begin to take effect on the Ist

Duchy of Oldenburg, to sign, in concert with his Serene
Highness the Duke of Brunswick, and his Royal Highness
the Grand Duke of Oldenburg, the annexed treaty, which

tution, approved of this treaty with respect to its effects on
the legislation of the kingdom, we hereby publish it, and
and order all those whom it concerns to execute it.

We have received Montreal Papers to the 6th, and Quebec
Papers to the 2d July. We extract the following from the
Montreal Papers :
" Neither the Morning Courier nor the Quebec .Mercury
appear to be well pleased with the resolution of the Constitu-
tional Assembly, for the recal of the Earl of Gosford. To
us, however, it appears that by expunging, as the Committee
of Delegates have done, by their third resolution, the choice
of his Majesty in the officers sent to administer the Govern-
ment of the province, they have gone the length of attempting
to impose a restraint on the acknowledged right of the Crown
to appoint its own servants."
We have Feceived New York Papers to the 12th of July.
" TIIE INDIAN WAR.-The expectations which previous
accounts from Georgia permitted us to indulge of the total
submission of the Indians there, were somewhat premature, a
considerable body having escaped our troops, and were making
their way to Florida, murdering and plundering as they went
along. The capture by surprise of Neak Emathe, the Creek
Chief is particularly fortunate, though it is but a partial one ;
lie is an old man—he looks like ari old race-horse, his flesh
being worn away."
Extract of a letter from Pensacola Bay, June 23 :—" We
arrived at this place June 20th, from Vera Cruz, in the United
State ship Warren, all in good health. At Tampico the au-
thorities would not allow us to have any communication with
our Consul, as an embargo was laid on the Port. We under-
stand that our citizens and Corisul were not allowed to go out-
side the walls of the city, and that all our merchants were de-
tained. This conduct had so incensed Commodore Dallas
when reported to him, that the moment we came to, his signal
was up to prepare for sea immediately--our destination the
Gulph of Mexico, the same place we came from." American

We have received the Journal du Commerce of Antwerp of
yesterday's date. It has the following :—" Accounts from
Frankfort of the 28th of July state, that about four o'clock in
the afternoon, the death of Mr. Rothschild took place. The
marriage of his SOH with his neice caused him to unite with
his family at Frankfort ; the moment he arrived he was at-
tacked with a painful illness. His demise has plunged his
family in profound affliction. He has left seven children, four
boys and three girls. It is remarkable that N. M. Rothschild
was born at Frankfort, which town he had left more than
twenty years, and returned again to die in the heart of his
family, who were assembled there to the number of sixty."
