and where the safety of the State is at stake, there
ought to be no higgling about mere forms.
Letters from Malaga of the 25th ult. informed the
Government that the Marquis DE BOVEDA, a Canon
of the Cathedral Chapter of Cordova, and several other
Carlists, who had put to sea in a Dutch galliot at the
instance of GOMEZ with 20,000 pesos fuertes, had
been taken off the coast by a British brig of war and a
Portuguese frigate. The money seized was destined
for Don CARLOS.

About sixty of the ringleaders of the insurrection of
the 4th battalion of the Guards were imprisoned on
the morning of the 3d instant, and the rest were
marched off to be draughted into regiments of the line.
These fellows will be brought to trial, and if found
guilty, will be shot without mercy. The Govern-
ment has signified that it will make examples
of as many of them as are convicted of the
crime of exciting their comrades to acts 'of insur-
rection. On the same day a corporal, in imita-
tion of the heroes of the fourth battalion, struck

his officer, accompanying the
.blow with a menace, the
purport of which implied a strong sympathy with the
insurgents. He was instantly taken, led forth, and to
the dismay of all his associates, shot, in the presence of
the troops summoned to witness his execution. A few
more such examples will have a good effect upon the
discipline of the army.

The French papers of Sunday have been received.
Their contents arc uninteresting. They contain no ac-
counts from any part of Spain of a later date than
those received in London yesterday. On the sth inst.

Bilboa continued to hold out, though ESPARTERO
was not nearer the town than he was on the 3a. The
defeat of CABRERA on the bank of the Ebro on the

Ist inst., and the total dispersion of his followers, is
repeated in these journals. CABRERA fled in the
direction of Madrid. The Phare of Bayonne of the
Bth inst. has the following :

" Espartero had on the 2.--d inst. reconnoitered the Carlist
positions, and there is every reason to believe that he in-
tended to make a serious attack on them as soon as rein-
forced by the brigade of Alcala, which he expected on the
sth or Gth instant. The reconnoissance mrde by the Ge-
neral convinced him that the besiegers had withdrawn their
artillery from before Bilboa. A decisive and sanguinary action
must, ere now,have been fought under the walls of that town ;
and it is at this moment asserted that preparations were al-
ready being made on the Ist, at Durango, for the departure of
the Pretender, who, with his habitual prudence, intended to
proceed to Villafranca, and there to await the issue of the
engagement, which is considered inevitable. Casa Eguia,
whose death had been at first erroneously announced, has
had his nose carried away, and has been otherwise dis-
figured, by a fragment of a large stone which was struck by
a cannon-ball. Reports are again prevalent relative to a
diversion which General Evans has been instructed to make,
in order to draw off the Carlists towards St. Sebastian.
The Count de Torreno has arrived at Bayonne to meet
the Countess. Two envoys, from the Republic of Vene-
zuela, also passed through this town from Madrid."
As we have assisted in giving currency to the many
rumours afloat respecting the disappointments of the
House of ORLEANS, in some recent match-making
speculations, we consider it but just to quote here the
salutary corrective adminstered by an Austrian official
Journal. We leave the CITIZEN KING to make the
most of a balm evidently meant to soothe his wounded
feelings. It is somewhat unfortunate that with so much
blarney about purity of blood, the Austrian scribes
should not manage better than to let the " cat out of
the bag :"
VIENNA, Nov. 26.—The French, and even the Eng-

•
isli Journals, contain fabulous and absurd articles respect

ing the marriage of the Archduchess Theresa to the King
of Naples. As long as they were confined to the Radi-
cal Press, it was not worth while to notice them, but as
other papers have expressed themselves very improperly on
the subject, we think it as well to state, in moderate language,
what that part of the public thinks, which feels an interest in
passing events. The Austrian people love and honour, above
all things, the august Imperial Family, and their most fer-
vent wishes will follow the amiable Princess, who will soon
leave us. But it has not entered the head of any body to shut
his eyes to the ancient origin of the House of Orleans,
whose younger branches, by their amiable and dignified
manners, acquired general esteem during their visit here a
few months ago. Every body allows that there is no
reigning family which would not think itself honoured by an
alliance with the House of Orleans, even were it not seated
on the throne of France. Austria, attached to monarchy,
is seriously grieved at the attempts at revolution and assassi-
nation which are renewed every six months by an inflammable
propaganda, and which are so contrary to the established
order of things ; the more so as the talents and ability of the
King of the French entitle him to high admiration, and as
the domestic manners of that august family inspire great
esteem."

Montreal and Quebec Papers, the latter to the 18th,
and the former to the 22d of November, have been
received. They contain the addresses of the Legisla-
tive Council and House of Assembly of Upper Ca-
nada, in answer to his Excellency the Lieutenant-
Governor's Speech from the Throne, on opening the
Legislative Session on the 17th ult. The Speech
itself appeared in this Journal of Friday, and as the
address of the Legislative Council is merely an echo of
the Speech, we shall take no further notice of it. In
the House of Assembly the address was opposed by a
minority of ten votes against forty-five. This address
is remarkable for the conciliatory and constitutional
spirit which it breathes ; and the largeness of the ma-
jority by which it has been carried inclines us to hope
that the great exertions of Sir FRANCIS BOND HEAD
to effect an union among wise men of all parties are
about to be crowned with success. Nevertheless, we
must not be too sanguine. There is great cause to
fear that the Legislative Council and the House of
Assembly will not be reconciled with each other's pro-
ceedings. The following is the address of the House
of Assembly, with his Excellency's answer :
" TO HIS EXCELLENCY SIR FRANCIS BOND HEAD, KNIGHT,
COMMANDER OF THE ROYAL HANOVERIAN GUELPHIC
ORDER, KNIGHT OF THE PRUSSIAN MILITARY ORDER
OF MERIT, LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR OF THE PROVINCE

OF UPPER CANADA, &C.
" May it please your Excellency—We, his Majesty's
dutiful and loyal subjects, the Commons of Upper Canada,
in Provincial Parliament assembled, humbly beg leave to
thank your Excellency for your gracious speech from the
throne at the opening of the present Parliament, and to
assure your Excellency that we view with sincere gratifica-
tion the present tranquillity of the province, and will most
readily embrace the opportunity afforded to give due con-
sideration to those subjects especially which the welfare
of the country requires should be finally settled.
" We will devote our serious attention to the important
question of the clergy reserves, and endeavour by every
means in our power, to overcome the obstacles which have
hitherto prevented its final and satisfactory adjustment.
" We regret that no useful result has hitherto attended
the beneficent intentions of his Majesty in granting a char-
ter of incorporation to the University of King's College,
and we cordially concur in the hope expressed by your
Excellency, that the province will shortly possess within
itself the means of bestowing upon youth the inestimable
benefits of a refined and liberal education.
" Deeply sensible of the importance of promoting gene-
ral education, we will not fail to give the subject our early
consideration, and by a judicious disposal of the school lands, ,
and the adoption of other efficient measures, will endeavour
to secure to the inhabitants of this province this invaluable
advantage.
" We are fully aware of the evils and inconveniences re-
sulting from the long period which intervenes between the
Courts of Oyer and Terminer in this province, and will
carefully consider your Excellency's recommendation on the
subject of increasing the number of judges.
" We will not fail to give every attention to the sug-
gestion of your Excellency on the subject of establishing a
provincial asylum for lunatics, and will endeavour to alle-
viate the misery of those unhappy and friendless individuals
who, deprived of reason, and without protection, are suf-
fering from the want of some place of refuge.
" We are fully sensible of the advantages to be derived
from opening communications by which the agricultural
produce of this province might be readily brought to market,
and will give our most favourable consideration to the con-
struction of a great western railroad, or to such other in-
ternal improvements as will both benefit the province and
promote a friendly intercourse with the neighbobring States.
" We will not fail to institute an immediate and careful
inquiry into the state of the Welland Canal, with a view
to ascertain how that important work may be rendered most
available for the great objects for which it was commenced,
and which it was calculated to effect.
" We concur with your Excellency in the expression of
