'MADRID, DEC. 13.—The organization of the
Royal volunteers is going on rapidly in Spain.—
The province of Avila has appointed a special
commission charged with the enrolling and pro-
viding for the Royalist militia raising there:—
This commission has addressed a circular to the
Mayors of districts, and the curates of parishes,
calling upon them to return, with all possible
expedition, lists of the inhabitants from the age
of 20 to ;,i0 inclusive. The only exceptions are
persons already inscribed on the muster-rolls of
the Royal volunteers, or who may notify their
wish to be so inscribed, paupers, and ecclesiastics.
These lists are to he used in fixing a tax,
which is to be apportioned to the means of each
inhabitant, and applied to cover the expence of
arming and equipping the volunteers. The tax
will be purely voluntary, and no person will be
compelled to contribute. The commission is per-
allotted beforehand, that the repose of Spain, and
the necessity of consolidating the throne of Fer-
dinand VII., by overawing the evil-disposed,
and displaying an imposing national force, will
prove to be motives sufficiently powerful to in-
duce every good Spaniard to concur in promoting
an institution so eminently monarchical.
The clergy are invited •to contribute. The
sums supplied by these gifts will be deposited
in the hands of an accountable agent, to whom
the commanders of the different Royal volunteer
corps of the province of Avila must apply, and
make known to him the quantity of arms, cloth-
ing, and other equipments, which they May
-require.
The Restaurador observes—" The noble con-
duct of the junta of Avila deserves to be pointed
out as a fine model for imitation. We hope that
all the other provinces, anxious to cotnpete, in
zeal and love for the King and country 'with
Avila, will hasten to follow the example thus
set, and we shall soon see whole legions of faith-
ful Spaniards forming in every part of Spain
ramparts against treason and revolt."
The ships of the line San Pablo and San Bias,
and three corvettes, are fitting out at Cadiz. This
expedition is destined for the Pacific. With
this maritime reinforcement, the Vice-Royalty of
Peru will soon'be enabled to destroy the revolu-
tionary army of Chili, as well as that of Terra-
Firma, which is now ravaging those fine coun-
tries.

M. de Casa.trujo has been indisposed for some
'days.
There is no longer any doubts respecting the
'promises made ..by the clergy for taking upon
themseves' the payment of the public debt. The
Government relies on the same promises for the
loans which are on the eve of being concluded
lvith foreign banking-houses.
The clerks employed under the Government
of the Cortes, win) had stopped at Cadiz, have
been ordered to leave that city, and to go to
other points of thew Peninsula.

event, and the report is-entirely false. Dan 'Vic-

of the Holy Father's health not only was not
alarming, but was much ameliorated since the ces-
sation of some periodical indisposition, which left
the hope that the continuance of 'the reign of

pious plans for tlw happiness of his imMense flock.
