SPAIN;

-BAYONNE, Auo. 9.o.—Several letters from Ma-
drid state, that General Mina suddenly left that
,city on the 15th, in the evening, for Catalonia,
where he is going to take the command of that
province. 'Hence it appears that it has been de-

sired,to conceal the departure of the General,
_ .

. ,
either on account of thenumerims bands that are
I..onthe road, Or from political motives, for the
. •Linfversal by the last post stated that the Mar-
:Anis of Casteldorrius was appointed to that com-
mand:—
; •
persons of the number that it was in-
tended to arrest at Bilboa' have arrived at the
Pot*of_Suesa. M. IVlartinez, physician to the
And two persons belonging to the palace,
as well As.the Duchess de la Puebla, and three
..Cur6s hate-.arrived 'to-day. at Bayonne, coming
from Lazaretto;.•
-

All the letters-from Spain speak of movements
tif troops in the provinces marching towards Ca-
tatonia and Navarre, but for this week past not a
• man has arrived.
. The accounts from Madrid to the 16th give the
- following particulars
• We enjoy perfe4 tranquillity here, and the measures which
the new Ministry has hitherto taken excite the most flattering
hopes; if we may judge by the reports which arrive fiom the
cities nearest the capital, where the news is already known, we
may say that there are hopes' that .there will be a speedy ter-
mination of the civil war in Catalonia, and Navarre. The
speedy return of the Secretary' to 'the English Legation, from
' London, has given' rise to 'various conjectures. They speak of
as. Treaty of Commerce between Spain,and England, as well as
the assurances of the. latter Power that it will not interfere in
our intestine dissensions, being disposed to support the Consti-
tutional aystcm, and to prevent any foreign invasion whatever.
'PheJournals.are wholly silent on this subject. However this may
• be, therq is already rhac'h gained in the Constitutionalists being
freed from the dread of foreign Invasion, for they do not seem
to fear France alone, against which Power the Journals conti-
: rue to use the mot violent Nngitage, on account of the support
which they affirrn hits- be.en given to the defendert of the faith.'?
Far some days "past a.rigorous surveillance hat
been exercised towards strangers. Severalj who
could not give a satisfactory account of the motives
__Qf Itcir residence in the capital) have been obliged

.0 leave it. Similar measures have been adopted
n all the other cities of Spain.

VIGO, AUG. 7.—The 700 men are now em-
barked, who have volunteered from the different
corps of the army to go to the island of Cuba.
They embarked in high spirits. They will be
escorted by the Diana corvette and a brig. They
are to supply the vacancies occasioned by deaths
or discharges in the corps at the Havannah.
MAoittn, AUG. 15.—General Mina set out last
night with his Staff to take the command of the
army of Catalonia. A detachment of cavalry of
the Prince's regiment 'accompanied him as an
escort. In a few days his army will amount to
26,000 men. Brigadier Nabet,who acquired a great
reputation during the war of independence, left
Madrid in the evening, and took the same direc-
tion with his corps composed of volunteer militia
and other patriots, to the amount of 4,000 men.
General Lopez Banos is assiduously employed
in finding means to realize the proposal which he
made without effect to the late Ministry—to in-
crease the army to 20,000 men, which was to
cover Navarre and Amigo'', and in concert with
that of General Mina, to form the grand line of
circumvallation on the frontier of the Pyrenees,
in order to prevent the continual passage of fac-
tiotis people from Spain into France, and from
France into Spain.
The Government has resolved to devote the
principal part of the contributions to the expences
of the Minister of War, so that the soldiers shall
be always regularly paid. It is also said, that at
the approaching meeting of the Cortes, the go-
vernment will propose a new loan, in order to
obtain the money necessary to take such a poli-
tical and military attitude, as beseems the dignity
of a free nation. The immense quantity of land and
other valid resources of which the government may
dispose, offers in abundance every necessary gua-
rantee.

According to the treaty of alliance proposed
between Spain and Portugal, the latter will send
an army of 12,000 men to cover the left bank of
the Ebro, from the town of Nara to Tortosa ;
and another of 8,000 men, to protect the frontiers
of Portugal, on the side of Gallicia, Castile, and
Estremadura, to disconcert projects and intrigues.
The following gentlemen have been nominated
Political. Chiefs :—Colonel Don Lucas Relasco,
of Guadalaxara ; Colonel Don Juan Villa Fla-
darca, of Villa Franca ; Colonel Don Antonio
Leoane of Bilboa ; Capitan Don Jose Auguez

Aver*, of Vittorilt ; Don. Augustin. Roucali, of
Tarragone ; Don Joze. Noboa, of Valencia.—
These selections are very popular.
It is said that M. Pizarro, formerly Minister
of Foreign Affairs, and who enjoys the confidence
of the Constitutionalists, is to be charged with an
important diplomatic mission.
• A Frenchman, Theodore Goiffien, First Lieu
tenant in the Royal Guards,.arrested at the mo-
ment when he attempted to pass the frontiers in
disguise, has been condemned to death by the
Military Commission Extraordinary. M. Garcia,
one of the Editors of the Espectador, and Mem- ,
ber of the Municipality of Madrid, was his Ad-
vocate. Ile filled this noble office with so much
zeal, warmth, and eloquence, that he drew tears
' from numerous spectators, and made a deep im-
pression on the Judges. The accused himself
then pronounced a discourse, which would cer-
tainly have produced a considerable effect, if the
crime had been less and 'not so well substan-
tiated. The facts were too notorious, and the
law too positive, to permit the Judges to lessen
the punishment. •
The Officers of the Royal Guard detained in
the prisons of Madrid, amounting to 16, will be
immediately tried. There are, besides, four
persons, formerly gardes-du-corps, and ten other
individuals.

Yesterday evening, according to a requisition
of M. Morales, Alcade of Madrid, the two sons
of General Mareky and M. Brodini, all three
Officers of the Royal Guards, and M. Maldo-
nado, Officer of the Navy, formerly Governor of
Ferrol, were arrested in Foucarral-street. They
were concealed in a private house.
We are assured that the Society of the Anillo,
also called Society Aristocrablique, and of the
two Chambers, has taken the resolution to dis-
solve itself.
General lYlilans has sent to the Government
by an extraordinary courier, the following letter,
dated Breda, August sth, eight o'clock in the
morning :—" I attacked the enemy at day-break,
in the streets of this little town. They are
covered with dead bodies, arms, and horses.
The cavalry pursued the remainder; nearly the
whole were wounded. I mean to give a little
repose to my troops at Saint Celoni, and from
thence I will send a more detailed report. In the
mean time I thought it my duty to send these
few words in haste, in order not to delay the
publication of the success."
Details of the most atrocious cruelties, com-
mitted by the armed fanatics, have arrived from
Navarre and Catalonia. The inhabitants unite
themselves with ardour to the militia to march
against them.
M. Ch. Gomez, Intendant of the Countess of
Talava, was arrested on the 9th of this month at
half past 11 in the evening. lie is accused of
having been one of the principal conspirators
against the constitutional system.
The Queen is very ill. It is said she will re-
ceive the viaticum.
The guards of the Palace have been doubled
every night these three nights passed.

PROVIDENTIAL Esc APE.--A Commercial Tmel -
ler, who was passing Crosskeys Wash, a few days
since, was overtaken by the tide, and was carried
along the stream for a considerable distance, be-
fore the boats, which were put off immediately
on his perilous situation being discovered, could
render him any assistance. Fortunately the gig
was not overturned, and the gentleman had the
presence of mind to retain his situation in it, and
by holding the reins tight to keep up the head
of the horse, which, being a powerful animal,
swam a distance that an inferior one could not
have accomplished. On the boats reaching them,
the men on board cut the traces, and brought the
horse and the gentleman safe to shore. A few
hours afterwards-the gig was recovered.
