SPAIN.

'We received only the Espectador of the 7th,
on Friday, but other Spanish Journals of that
.date had reached, Paris, and the Constitutionnel
quotes from the Universal an article which, per-
haps, has been the foundation of the report so
eagerly circulated on the I'aris Exchange, that
the Spanish Fiscal was in disgrtce,-and dismissed
from office. The article is in these terms
' Don Juan de Paredes is, as is well known, intrusted in his
character of Military Judge of Madrid, with the investigation
of the military conspiracy of the 7th of July against the consti-
tutional'authority of the King.
" The urgent attention which Don Juan de Paredes is
obliged to gave to the cause with which he is intrusted (the af-

fair of the 7th of July), does not permit him to attend to the
other details of his office, the Commandant-General, on the so-
licitation of Dan Juan de Paredes, therefore transfers those de-
tails to the Adjutant of the garrison, within whose jurisdiction
they come.

"'Wherefore, so long as the judicial occupations of Don Juan
de Parades, titular Sergeant-Major of the garrison, shall con-
tinue,:and dating from this day, the 6th, the Captain Adjutant
Don Ceferino de la Delresa shall be charged with the details of
the military posts in the same manner as he was heretofore. I
give notice hereof to the corps of this garrison, in order that the
posts of the guard may address their reports and other docu-
meats
relative to the service to the last mentioned Officer.—
The Captain Adjutant resides in the Calle de Prostaleza, near
the Calle de St. Marco. •

(Signed) " LETORRE."
The Constitutiontiei adds the following from private corres-
pondence : •
" The Cortes, in the sitting of the 7th, elected a new Presi-
dent, Vice-President, and four Secretaries. The Duka del
Parque, who ishere called the Spanish Lafayette, was chosen
President by a majority of 79. This venerable Nobleman,who
still possesses all the vigour of youth, enjoys high consideration,
and has the full confidence of the firmest defenders of the con-
stitutional system.
" Senoi Velusco, a curate of Madrid, has been appointed
Vice-President by a majority of 78. He is one of the most
zealous patriots, and besides possesses every patriarchal virtue.
" Senor Grases, Colonel of Artillery, one of the heroes of the
isle of Leon, and President of the War Committee, has been
chosen Secretary by a majority of 74. Colonel Grases is an
officer of great merit : his information is extensive, and his
great learning is heightened by a modesty, which is the more
meritorious in an officer who has given so many proofs of the
most brilliant courage.
" The Cortes have granted all the extraordinary subsidies
asked by the different Ministers. The propositions of the Go-
vernment were finally approved in the sitting of the 6th. The
_Cortes have placed at the disposal of the Government a supple-
mental grant of 800,000 reels vellon towards the support of the
Italian and French refugees, on account of political opinions.
Considerable funds had already been assigned to this object in
the preceding ordinary sessions.
" The coil( .:tion of the taxes has acquired an activity hitherto
unknown in Spain. This is a natural consequence of the
vigour and firmness displayed in all the branches of public ad-
ministration.

" The Political Chief of the province of Toledo having learnt
that the enemies of the constitutional system had succeeded in
exciting some factious to insurrection, made an appeal to the
volunteer militia, and in an instant 300 foot and 290 horse effect-
ually contributed to stifle the germs of rebellion. This.zeal of the
national militia.is an example of that which prevails through
all the provinces of the monarchy:"
Neither the Madrid journals, which we received on Friday,
nor those quoted by, the French papers, ..contain any account of
the decision of the Cones, on the report of the committee to
which the memorial of the late. Secretary of State, Gareli, was
referred. The report had not. even been taken into considera-
tion. All that was done WAS ordering it, on the motion of Senor
Galliano, to be printed.
The Journal de Commerce gives the fdllowing intelligence
1 from the. Spanish frontiers :-
1:
".We 'have received, by the way of Toulouse, tews from
Urgel of the 2d of November, from which it appears that since
the evacuation of Castelfollit, Baron d'Erole,s and Romanillo
have concentrated themselves in the neigbourhood of Pons, a
day and &hairs march from Urgel. 'Romagosa occupies
ana with 1,500 men. As to General Fleyres, who was on the
side of Vich, thereis no account of him. .

"'The main body of Mina's army was in the neighbourhood
of °liana. .

"Other accounts, dated •the 3d, announce that it -was that
morning, reported that the Constitutionalists were marching on
the Sco. A great-number of the partisans of the Regency had
adopted,the resolution of deserting. A Lieutenant-Colonel is
one of the number. It was afterwards learnt that this report'
of the approach of the Constitutionalists was occasioned by a
battle at Balaguer, the -result of which was net 'known at the
departure of the courier.
" Letters from Bourg-Madame, a little French town on the
frontier line, announces that that place is crowded with Spanish
refugees, who had taken part in the enterprises of the Regency."
The Madrid Gazette has published, in the shape of a royal
decree, the result of the deliberations of the Cortes on some of
the measures proposed for the security of the country, which we
have noticed in their progress before the Congress. According
to this decree, the Government may remove curates and other
eceleasiastics who conduct themselves improperly, from one
diocese to another. The General-in-Chief and other military
commanders may proceed according to circumstances and the
importance of the offence against authorities who neglect to give
notice of the presence of rebels. Upon the report of provincial
deputations and Political Chiefs; the Government may suspend
magistrates and municipal officers, and fill up their places with
citizens who have given proofs of their love of liberty. Every
functionary who refuses a new employment loses that which he
possesses. Finally, the Government, following the order of
military promotion, may change the chiefs and officers of the
army.

It is said that a Frenchman named Montarlot has been
arrested at piguiera,s, on suspicion of being a spy of the
French Police.

The following are the principal provisions of the law con-
cerning the arrest of-individuals :
" 1. To arrest those who conspire in a direct manner against
the Constitution, and place them in security, neither a previous
examination, nor a warrant from the • Judge, is_necessary ; all
the formalities requisite are, to give the accused into the care
of the 'person who is to guard him, with an order from the
competent authority, which shall be commur,icated to the pri-
soner 48 hours after his arrest.

" 2. For this purpose, the private dwellings of all Spaniards,
and of every other. person residing in the kingdom, with the
exception of the houses of foreign Ambassadors and Ministers,
may be searched.
" 3. This extraordinary power is granted exclusively to the
Political Chiefs, or to those whom they may appoint, on their
responsibility, for particular cases, and bound to render an ac-
count to them.

" 4. The Political Chiefs will inform the Minister of the In.
terior of all the cases in which they or their delegates may use

this power.
" 5. The Political Chiefs or Delegates will collect in 30
days all the information concerning the conduct of the prisoner,
and the crime of which he is accused.
" 6. At the end of thirty days,, the prisoner shall be placed
at the disposal of the competent tribunal, to take cognizance of
the case_; and from that moment the trial is to be conducted
according to the regulations appointed by the law.
" 7: The powers now granted, to the Political Chiefs is not to
hinder the other Authorities from acting on their ordinary
powers towards criminals. The present measure shall only be
in force during the present,meeting of the Extraordinary Cortcs,

who preserve to themselves the power of prolonging or suspend-
ing it, as they may judge proper."

" This law was ordered to be printed. it has been discussed
in two Sittings, and in spite of M. Augustin Arguelles, the
three first Articles have been adopted."
BAYONXE, Nov. 9.—We have just received news from
Pampeluna of the sth, and from Roncal of the Bth. Those re-
lative to the defeat and dispersion of the corps of Quesada have
produced a very great sensation in Navarre, because the Ser-
villas had flattered themselves that their army would shortly
be masters of that province, even Pampeluna itself. Several
bands of fifty or one hundred men of the Defenders of the Faith
at present desolate that province, and employ the troops of
Espinosa, while the two Captains Gunquet and Ladron are
making allimaginable efforts to collect as large a force as pos,
sible in the valley of Roncal. In fact they had rallied on the
the 3d about 700 men, who dispersed on the arrival of the Con-
stitutional column 'of Salvatierra, and it is with difficulty that
about 500 men have reached Achaquavia. A corps of the
troops of the Faith, which escaped at Los Arcos, hovers about
Sanguesa in the frontiers of Arragon, so that Quesada's divi-
sion is dispersed in various directions.
The Committee at Bayonne has taken measures, to the end
that all these Guerillas which prefer making war without de-
pending on any superior, may fall back to the valley of Ron-
cal, whither supplies of money, clothing, and shoes have been
sent.

The Liberals on the frontiers still blame General Espinosa,
to whom the victory gained at Los Arcos is not ascribed, be-
cause it was in fact Colonel O'Donnell who contributed the
most to it ; they farther blame him for having left in The hands
of the troops of the Faith the fortified post of Irati, which is
of little importance in itself, but which gives them an asylum
and a rallying point. Alt the officers who have lately arrived
from Spain left this city yesterday morning for Irati, and
every thing indicates that the defenders of the Faith are going
to resume offensive operations. A courier that arrived here
yesterday from the Regency at Urgel has brought final orders
to Gen. O'Donnell to go and assume the command in Navarre,
and General Quesada that of the three provinces. As for the
first, it will be easy for him to' establish the head-quarters at
least at Irati but the second will have more difficulty in fixing
himself in Biscay or Guipuscoa, in which they have not a
present any point of support. However this be, the greatest
activity prevails in the staff of Gen. Equia ; this General,
O', Donnell, Quesada, Nunez, A brew, and,Gaston, have long
and frequent conferences; and though a report has been circu-
lated that they were in want of money, yet it is to-day pub -
licly asserted in the city, that one of our Bankers paid on the
4th above a million of francs to General Equia ; and malevo-
lence goes so far as to point out the source whence these funds
are derived. Considering the want of Constitutional troops in
these provinces, and the mode of warfare which the Royalists
have, adopted, there is reason to fear that the disasters which
afflict them will be protracted; and the snore so, as the state
of public opinion has not improved in favour of the Constitu-
tional party, who boast, however, that they shall be able to
effect the new levies.
A letter from Irun says that Zabala has been killed.
An express, which left Madrid on the Gth in the evening, has
just paned through this city on his way to Paris, and has re-
ported that at the moment of his departure the Capital was
agitated, the National Guard on foot and on 'horseback, and the
troops of the garrison under arms, in consequence of some
differences which had arisen between the Chiefs of the National
Guard on the subject of The
.command; that, however, no
alarm was felt on this account, and that it was hoped concord
would he soon restored.
The Journal de Paris contains the following intelligence,
under the date of Bayonne, October 9 :
" Nothing very important is passing on the frontier ; the
wrecks of the Army of the Faith which was beaten at Los
Arcos, are Collecting again in the wallies of Ecro and Roncal,
in the neighbourhood of Irati. The chiefs are Jaunito add
-Santa Ladron. It is presumed that the Constitutionalists will
-attack-them 'on that point. It appears that General Charles
O'Donnel has, within these few days, received orders from the
Urgel Regency, to take upon himself the command of the
Army of the Faith, in Navarre ; and Gen. Quesada to take_
the command of the army in the provinces of Biscay, Alava,
and Guipuscoa,.under the title of Captain-General. Three days
ago, the chiefs of the Army of the Faith received 953,000 francs
in gold from Paris."
The Quotidienne gives an extract from the Urgel Gazette of
the lth, in which it is stated that Mina had' fallen back to
Agramont. A column of 800 Constitutionalists had appeared
on the side of the Conque de Tremp ; but it is said that they
had been obliged to retreat precipitately, in consequence of the
rapid movements of the Baron d'Eroles. Fleyre, one of the
leaders of the Faith, is stated to have collected the columns of
Misas, IlTalvill, Targarona, Mosen Anton, Caragol, and
Poearoba, and '2,000 peasants, making in all 8,000 men, with
which he holds the Constitutional General Milans blockaded in
Vich. It is inferred that the object of Mina, whom the Gazette
,of Urgel calls a cannibal, is to relieve Milans.
