HAMBURGH, Nov. 15, 1836.
OUR Friends, and all those who may have to write
to us, are requogy.-1 to be particular in directing,
HEINE BRO'I7IERST in HAMBURGH,
and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage
only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus
101., 201., or 301., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng-
land Note would only cause double Poste, but 101. remitted in
Iwo notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there-
fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham-
burgh, to forward the amount in One Note ; or having to receive
Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when-
over possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England,
sin-Passing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may
rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London.
To sti.ve expenses that may as well be. avoided, we request our
Correspendents not to overlook these paritar.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 7, 1836.

Advices from Madrid to the Ist instant reached
Paris by an extraordinary courier on Monday. On
the 29th the peace of the capital was disturbed by the
revolt of a battalion of the 4th regiment of the
Royal Guard. The insubordination of the men
arose from a dispute with their Colonel, on some
matter wholly unconnected with politics. The Na-
tional Guard was instantly called out, and the ring-
leader of the insurgents arrested. The next day three
of them were shot, which had the effect of restoring
the most perfect order. The details of this affair have
not yet reached us.

Madrid Journals, to the 28th inst., have been re
ceived. They state that the Government received
despatches from the army of the South, informing
Ministers that on the 21st GOMEZ had reached
Guacin, hotly pursued by Generals NARVAEZ and RI-
Guacin is a small village in the Serrania de
Ronda, on the main road between the cities of Ronda
and San Roque, and only a short distance from Gib-
raltar. To the right are the cities of Medinasidonia,
Arcos, Perez de la Fronteva, and the strongly fortified
town of Ponto de Santa Maria. Seville is now
considerably in the rev of the rebels, and entirely out
of danger. Malaga lies to the left of Guacin, and the
whole coast in that direction is studded with strongly
fortified towns, defended by large garrisons. The si-
tuation of GOMEZ is therefore more critical than it
was at any time during the last two months. It is
impossible for him to advance much further, unless he
hope to find vessels on the coast to convey him and
14 troops to the coast of Catalonia, which is very
-unlikely indeed ; and to escape back into Estremadura
or Murcia with such a strong army prepared to cut off
his resreat is a project still more difficult of execution.
The population of the Serrania de Ronda, a hardy
mountainous race of enterprising smugglers, are sup-
posed to be favourable to the cause of the Pretender,
as that cause is presumed to be favourable to their
illicit traffic. The Carlists, therefore, look to them
for support; and it is possible that GOMEZ find-
ing that he could neither attack Seville nor march
upon Murcia, with RIBIERo so close at his heels, be-
thought him of the advantage of appealing to the chi-
valrous feelings of the heroes of the war of indepen-
dence—the men who, under BALLASTEROS, made a
successful stand against double their number of the
flower of the French army. But, fortunately for the
Constitutional cause, General NARVAEZ was born in
This very neighbourhood, and knows every inch of the
country around it. His kindred are numerous, and
attached to his interests. The people, too, are said to
hoM him in great esteem, so that the chances are en-
tirely in his favour. During his last flight GOMEZ
has been guilty of the most frightful excesses. When
lie found it inconvenient to carry Ida prisoners along
with him, lie uniformly ordered them to be cdipt, and
their dead bodies to be flung into the nearest ditch,

He did not even .permit them to be buried. The
outrages against decency committed by his men are of
so atrocious a nature, that we cannot so much as al-
lude to them. This has raised an outcry against him
which henceforth will facilitate the triumphs of the
QUEEN'S Generals.
In Catalonia rebel bands are laying the country
waste in every direction. The iufiians are intent only
upon obtaining plunder, and care not in whose name
they pillage the villages not protected by the presence
of a strong military force. The frightful nature of
their crimes cries aloud for the powerful interference
of the Government.

There is no news of any importance from the capi-
tal. The Cortes are busy ; but unfortunately not with
the examination of questions of the greatest moment.
in the present alarming state of the country. Instead
of directing their sole and undivided attention to the
state of the war, and the finances necessary to carry it
on, they waste their precious moments with the details
of certain amendments and ameliorations to be intro-
duced into the Constitutional Code. This is not the
way to tranquillize Spain in a hurry. First crush the
rebellion, and then amend tile Constitution. Where
laws cannot be enforced, it is both ridiculous and ab-
surd to promulgate them. The attempt to do so only
brings the nominally supreme Government into disre-
pute ; and, in fact, destroys the moral influence of the
executive over the minds of the people.

The whole of the Paris Papers of Sunday and
Monday have been received. The Moniteur of Sun-
day contains the following telegraphic despatch :
" The Government has received the following intelligence
from Bayonne

" BAY ONNE, DEC. 2, 1 O'CLOCK, P.M.
" The Madrid courier was delayed two days by the pas-
sage of Cabrera through Soria, on the 27th.
" Brigadier Vera (a deputy) has been appointed Minis-
tet of War.
" Advices from St. Sebastian of the 30th ult., state that
Espartero was about to throw a bridge of boats over the
river, in order to reach Bilboa.
" 24 pieces of artillery coming
.from'England, ammuni-
tion, and a company of British artillery, have been landed
at St. Sebastian, for the armament of the port of Passages.' "

In the same official organ of Monday, we likewise
find the following despatches :

" BAYONNE, DEC. 3, 2 O'CLOCK P.M.
" On the 30th, Espartero crossed the river on a bridge
of boats, opposite the Desierto. Villareal passed it at Ola-
viega, and they are now in presence of each other on the
right bank, at a distance of three leagues from Bilboa.
" General Eguia bad sent to Villareal all his disposable
forces, and is continuing the siege. The Convent of the
Conception, the present point of attack, was not taken on
the Ist, and the city still held out."
" BAYONNE, DEC. 3, HALF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK, P.M.

" Iribarren marched on Azagra, and General Clonard on
Puenta la Reyna, to prevent the passage of several 'hundred
horses, taken in Andalusia, and of the money which Cabrera
. . . (Interrupted by nightfall.) "
The victory claimed by the Carlist Chief, VILLA-
REAL, over General ESPARTERO, appears, from the
official bulletin addressed by VILLAREAL himself to
the War Minister, ERRO, to have been a very trifling
affair. ESPARTERO was momentarily repulsed, not
beaten. There is reason to hope, that as Bilboa has
held out so long, the Carlists will be obliged to raise
the siege. The conduct of the garrison has been all
that could be desired, with the exception of the evacua-
tion of the forts during the three first days.
A general engagement between ESPARTERO and
VILLAREAL Is inevitable, and on its result de-
pends the fate of Bilboa. The check received
by ESPARTERO in attempting to cross the Cos-
tregena bridge, may be of use to him, though we
greatly fear the influence which it may have upon the
spirits of such of his men as are not inured to the dan-
gers and chances of war.
Advices from Bayonne, dated the lit inst., notice
the arrest of Mr. GEORGE HAWKINS, an English-
man, on suspicion of being charged with a secret mis-
sion to Don CARLOS. The Bayonne correspondent
of a Ministerial Contemporary positively asserts that
Mr. HAWKINS was arrested at the instance of certain
Carlists who were opposed to the object of Mr. HAW-
KINS' mission—not because such was the vigilance of
the French authorities that he could not pass and re-pass
the frontier as often as he pleased. The Paris Minis-
terial Journals, he observes, will seize upon the arrest
of Mr. HAWKINS as a proof of the vigilance of the
authorities on the frontier ; but so far is this from
being the case, that he himself is able to give the
names of two hundred persons, who—within the
last four months—have passed over to the
Carlists, without the slightest interruption. As
his description of the formalities gone through on such
occasions is remarkable for its accuracy, we will take
the liberty of copying it for the edification of our Gallic
Contemporaries :
" The process of passing the frontier is most simple ; I
know it well, for I have examined it closely. If you seek to
enter the Carlist country from France your course is this—
you arrive here under the ordinary pass pro visoire of the po-
lice. The Carlist agent to whom you are recommended here
arms you with the requisite document to ensure your reception
after you cross the frontier, and by his instructions you proceed
to the Bureau de Sub- Prefeture, where, depositing your pass
prorisoire, you receive a written permission (printed forms
have not yet been adopted) to visit Behobia, a small town si-
tuated directly over the river Bidassoa, wl.ich is the frontier
boundary of the two countries. Arrived at Behobia, you de-
posit this written permission with the agent of police, stat-
ing in it whether or not it is your intention to reclaim it
at a future period ; you then cross the bridge at Behobia,
and you are at once in the Carlist country. Ere long you are
challenged by a sentinel, to whom you exhibit the document
supplied by the Carlist agent at Bayonne. On its being found
correct a soldier accompanies you to Irun, where from the au-
thorities you receive a passport to such part of the country as
you may desire to go. So much for persons going into Spain
from France. Crossing from Spain into France, the form is
nearly the same. All passports from the interior are directed
to the authorities of Irun, who alone give the passes which
are accepted at Behobia. Receiving one of these you pre-
sent yourself to the police at Behobia, who, retaining this
document, give you, as in the former case, a written per.
mission to visit Bayonne. Arrived here you get a passport
from the mayor to whatever part of the country you de-
sire to go, and on returning to Behobia with the like for-
malities your Irun pass is handed to you. I should mention
that it is only within the last three months that this total
abandonment of all pretence has taken place. Formerly,
though never impracticable, it was much more difficult to cross
the frontier, but now there is not the smallest hazard in the
attempt. A single day does not pass that half a dozen per-
sons, either coming or going, cannot be found here; and I know

is a fact, that on the very. day of Mr. ilawkins's first arrest

nine individuals (among vvhom a Colonel Butt and his son)
went over. Twice a week there is a regular courier between
the factious territory and France, the only difference between
this and any other quarter being, that while the letter-bag com-
ing from Spain is received and distributed by the post-office,
that for letters coming from France is made up and for-
warded at the residence of the Marquis of Lalande, the princi-
pal Carlist agent residing here. But need Igo beyond the
Carlist newspapers themselves to prove the extent of the com-
munication between the two parts in question? Does a day
pass that the journals in that interest do not insert Durango
correspondence ? Not one. Again, the Onate Gazette (the
Carlist official publication) is as regularly distributed to sub-
scribers here, as is the Phare de Bayonne or the Sentinelle de
Pyrenees. These are facts which cannot be contradicted ;
they speak for themselves."
The process of obtaining access to the head-quarters
of the PRETENDER could hardly be rendered more
simple on the part of the very complaisant French
authorities. Of course Louis PiinifirE sees in this
only the proper operation of the intervention system
guaranteed by the Quadruple Treaty.

The Wakefield Conservative Association gave a din-
ner on Monday last to the Hon. W. S. LASCELLES,
at which Lord WHARNCLIFFE and divers other York-
shire Tory Incorrigibles were present. This affair had
been long trumpeted about the West Riding, and in-
credible pains were taken to secure a becoming amount
of mouths ; but, despite all their efforts, the getters ,up
of the ovation were only able to muster four hundred
guests—which, from the enthusiastic way in which
some of the speakers alluded to the circumstance, was
evidently two hundred more than they had calculated
on. And this is what our Tory cotemporaries call " a
significant display I" It is a significant display, but not
hi the sense in which they use the terms. It is " sig-
nificant" only of the low ebb to which Toryism is
reduced. What, could not the united influence
of the HAREWOoDs and the WHARNCLIFFES bring
together more than four hundred supporters in
Ycrkshire—in that county where they are supposed
to exercise so paramount an influence ? Could no
weir than for—or at the very utmost—four hundred
