The following telegraphic despatches, some of which
bad been delayed by the state of the atmosphere, have
been received by the French Government:—
" PEP.PIGNAN, OcT. Is.—The General commanding
the 21st Military Disisiou to the Minister of War.—
Disturbances have broken out at Cadiz. The populace
have devastated the printing-office of the Globe, and
burnt the copies of the paper publicly. The Captain-
General Seoane assumed the command of Valencia on
the 10th ; great unosesiness prevailed there. Two hun-
dred Mnderados have been arrested at Barcelona. Ott
the 12th the public mind there was agitated, but physical
tranquillity prevailed. Passports were still refused for
France. The Constilutionnel of the 13th shows some.
uneasiness as to the &position of the troops, who are,
it says, however, too few in nueabor to resist 12 batta-
lions of National Guards." •
**PERPIGNAN, OCT. IG.—The General commanding
the 21st Militarr Division to the Minister of War.—AC-
cording to the L'eastilueional of the 14th the Junta of
Vigilance has signified its intentions of demanding a
loan. This Journal desires that this tax should fall
upon capitalists. It is just, it says, that those who ex-
cited the war should pay the expense of it. The Junta
of Vigilance has ordered that all the employes who were
named by the Junta of the Government of 1840, and
who have since been deprived of their offices, shall be
restored. On the 13th there was agitation at Barcelona
withont any disturbance, and, at Girona, on the 14th, a
Junta of Vigilance was also formed for the Government
of the Province."

" PERPIGNAN, OCT. 17.—The General commanding

Junta of Vigilance, on the 13th, decreed the arrest, with
confiscation of property, of ail the inhabitants of Barce-
lona who should not seeurn thither immediately ; and
the suppression of the duty upon flour. It has named
the receiver of its forced loan. The National Guard
of Sarria has best disarmed, as not being sufficiently
patriotic."
" PERPIGNAN, OCT. 18.—The General commanding
the 21st Military Division to the Minister of War.—
General Seoane left Valencia for Arra‘eon on the 11th,
with three battalions. There: was agitation at Valencia
on the 13th. The National Guard prevented the Mode-
rados from leaving the town. The Junta of Vigilance
of Barcelona has ordered the formation of two free bat-
talions, a company of public safety, and the arming of
Il persons who merit confidence. On the 10th it de-
manded 10,000 muskets of the Captain-General. It de-
creed the formation of a, Junta of Vigilance of five mem-
bers for each district town. It has prohibited the clergy,
the consuls, and foreigners from interfering with public
affeire, end has subjected the National Guard to military
regulations. lies and Torreus, members of the Junta,
are charged with the granting, of passports. The situa-
tion of Barcelona remained the same on the morning of
the day before yesterday."
ItttiE, OCT: 18.—The Sub-Prefect bailie Minis-
ter of the Inteldre--General Alcala, with his troops,
fearing that he would have hie communications cut off
by the insurgents of Guipuzcoa, was to return to St.
Sebastian yesterday evening. It is said that the Na-
tional Ouerd intend to shut the gates against him, and
to defend the' pltase themselves."
" BAYONNE, Wee 16.—,The Sub-Prefect to the Minis-
ter of War-e-The couriers from Madrid to the 12th have
arrived by way of Jaca. The Regent has named Rodil
Catain-Clentrel of the armies, and Lorenzo Lieutenant-
General. A peenianent Court-martial has been estab-
lished at Madrid. The Ayuetamiento came on the 11th
to solicit the Regent to take energetic and exceptional
meteeres,' General O'Donnell took Puente de la Reyna
on the 1411:"

"A great number of Spanish refugees;" ways the Me-
morial of Pau, " are daily coming in and requiring pass-
ports to be countersigned for their return to Aucb, Age's,
and other places in the interior. It is estimated that
about 400 of them had obtained leave to return previous
to the late events."

We find the following in a letter from Saragossa, of
the 12th instant :—" Borso di Carminati is a Pledinon-
test by birth. He commences his military career in

his services and his courage. General Grad, "rho was
for a long time head of the staff of Cordova and
Espartero, gave him his niece in marriage. Borso,
allied to the partisans of the Constitution of 1812,
and member of the Carbonari Club, passed for
au Exaltado in the army. He separated him-
self from his party at the end of 1838, under circum-
stances which did hiM great honour. He had promised,
in conjunction with Colonel Pezuela, to spare the lives
of two hundred Carlists, who had surrendered at dis-
cretion in an affair at Valencia ; but Van Haien, who
has lust named Captain-General of Arragon, hav-

es Act of 1828
" Gentlemen—The Kew south Was: ;
having been renewed for another). year, ;-ott are again
called on to provide for the legislative wants o:the colon?.
I do not doubt that you will cheerfully meet thit; furthei:
demand upon your services. I regret that it is not in
My power to lay before you the important Bills which
were suspended last year, in order that the instructions
of her Majesty's Government might be obtaint'd on some
material points involved in them. I trust, howe.ve'', that
before the end of the session I may be able to •odtu
them in such a state as may render the discussion of t:tem
easy and satisfactory.
" I am convinced by almost every dam experience of
the want throughout the colony of the institutions which
these Bills are intended to provide ; in respect to Syd-
ney in particular, it must, I think, appear to others, as
well as to myself, a matter of suiprke and regret, that
a commercial capital, now containing more than :30,000
inhabitants, should be still without any means of self-
government.
" I have received information that her Majesty has
been pleased to erect the islands of New Zealand into a
separate Government, and that consequently the intimate
connection which existed for a time.between New Zea-
land and New South Wales, has Ceased ; a friendly in-
tercourse, however, and one of mutual benefit, will con-
tinue, I truit, still to be kept up between the two coun-
tries; and there is not, I am sure, an inhabitant of New
South Wales who wi'.l not join with me in wishing suc-
cess to the colonists of New Zealand.

" I aul notyet able to lay before the Council any doct
tnents respecting the separation of the two colonies, but
I hope shortly to be in a condition to do so.

vision was made by the Council during its last session,
have been as far as possible carried into effect by the
executive authority. A Court of superior jurisdiction
has been established at Port Philip ; Circuit Courts at
Bathurst, Berthas, and Maitland ; and Courts of Re-
quests in a considerable number of the minor towns of
the colony. These are measures not only calculated to
be of great benefit to the colonists, but are otherwise of
importance, as approximating the institutions of the
colony to the condition of those which we look up to
with veneration in our parent land.
" A census has been taken of our population, and as
soon as possible, after all the returns are received, I shall
lay the result before the Council.

'l4
• The colony has, moreover, in many other respects
advanced during the year, in a gratifying and encou-
raging manner. _

~ ~
" Steam navigation has greatly increased; a store of
grain is provided against the recurrence of such a cae
lamity as that which visited us in 1839; immigration
has been continued in a copious, though still an insuffi-
cient stream; and the streets of Sydney are the first to
testify that gas lights have made their appearance in the
Eastern hemisphere.
" But notwithstanding these many subjects of contra.
tulation, it must be acknowledged, that the few months
which have elapsed since the Council last separated have
been anxious ones . for the colony, and obvious to all,
that the present times require of us' the exercise of p*
tience, industry, mutual forbearance, and economy;
with these, however, I feel confident that we shall easily
surmount our difficulties; whilst the evils of the present
day will become profitable lessons for the future.
" The commercial embarrassments, which first showed
themselves in Sydney about the month of October or
November last, did not affect the public income of 1840.
The revenue of that year was indeed the largest ever
collected in the colony—the gross receipts of the year
having exceeded the gross expenditure by the large
SUM of 120,0001. notwithstanding that in the expenditure
-was included very nearly 150,000/. for immigration.
" The ordinary revenue of the Port Philip district
was more • than double that of the preceding year, it
having increased from 14.0081. in 1839 to 29,7991. in
1840, whilst the sale of Crown lands in that district
brought to the general land fund the large amount of
217,1271. thus affording to the older parts of the colony
the means,of replacing the labour and capital which the
opening of Port Phillip had drained from them.
"Aided by the resources of the older settlements, but
unassisted with borrowed money, the district of Port
Philip has risen rapidly to a state of wealth and impor-
tance, which cannot but be highly gratifying to the entire
• colony.
"The pecuniary difficulties under which many inte-
rests in the colony are still suffering, must naturally be
expected to affect the revenue of the present year, and
of probably the next succeeding one ; the falling off,
however, is as yet only sensibly felt in the branch of it
which is derived from the sale of land, and in this even
the deficiency may in part be ascribed to othereauses.
" These pecuniary difficulties may safely, I believe, be
reid to have arisen from excessive speculation and an
undue extension of credit. They seem to be of the na-
ture of those which frequently and almost periodically
occur in all places where commercial adventure is eager;
and a remedy for there is, I think, to be looked for in
ote natural course of events, rather than to-be sought
in any legislative enactments.
"A few of the circumstances which have contributed
to bring about these embarrassments in our commercial
relations may perhaps, without much risk of error, be
pointed out, though it is very necessary to bear in mind
that in seeking to discover such agencies we are very
likely to mistake effects for causes.
" The scarcity of 1838 and 1839 caused a great drain
from the colony for the first necessary of life, and pro-
duced excessive fluctuations in the price of every descrip-
tion of grain.
"The decline in price of our chief staple commodity,
wool, lessened the value of our exports in the home
market.

The Memorial of Pan states that passports, enabling
them to return into Spain as they desire, having been re-
fused to the 46 officers of the Second Regiment of the
Royal Guard, who came into France on their ultimate
desertion by their men. These officers have been sent
to Orthez, to remain there in depot.
A letter from Madrid, of the Bth inst., in the Debats,
says :—" The Count de Requena, son of the Duke de la
Rocca, is the young Colonel who accompanied Queen
Christina to Paris. He returned to Madrid with the
letters and presents which the Queen of Spain had sent
to Espartero and his wife. Brigadier Quiroga-y-Frias
is the nephew of General Quiroga, who died a year ago
in Galant. He was chief of the staff of the Captain-
General of New Castille. Zequeira and Quiroga were re-
garded in the army as two of its best and bravest officers."
TOLOSA, Ocr. 14.—About two hours ago General
Picuero, the Military Chief of the Insurgents of Alava,
arrived at Bergara from Vittoria, with one battalion
escorting three large waggons laden with arras and
ammunition for the rebel force under the orders of
ITrbistondo. Piquero was Brigadier in the Carlist
army, and was one of those included in the convenio
of Bergara. An express, dated yesterday, has just
arrived from Penacenada to the Captain-General,
Alcala, in which it is announced, that Martin Zur-
bano, who was then at Argasin with Alesan, had
taken seven Minones prisoners. The Minones are the pro-
vincial troops of Alava, paid and commanded by the De-
putation, and are similar to the Celadores of Guipuzcoa,
and Miguelites of Biscay. Of the seven prisoners Zur-
bano instantly shot six. I cannot bring myself to
approve of these acts of prompt and terrible justice.
I cannot help bringing to my recollection that the shoot.
ing of Santez Ladron was made the pretext for those
dreadful atrocities which, for so long a period, marked
the commencement and progress of the late civil war ;
and I very much fear that the opposite party will follow
the example, and in a tenfold degree, set them by Zur-
bano. For the sake of humanity I should wish the'
such severities may not be visited on the heads of thoi:
who are, at the most, but blind instruments in the hark
of others.

" The excessive contignnaent of goods to the colony,
mostly on speculation, by mercantile houses in E.gland,
produced a depreciation in the value. of nee )y every
species of merchandise, calculated to affect r foe or less
the transactions of the whole commercial bo

The necessity of disposing of these xis contri-
buted to the undue extension of credit ; st the rapid
influx of capital into the colony may ! - had a ten-
dency to encourage hazardous speculati.. •s, and the em-
ployment of money in investments not -tiding any im-
mediate return.

" A more abundant supply of is undoubtedly
the one great. thing wanted in the .-)long, for without
labour no wealth can be produced, •, capital can be pro-
fitablyemployed. . . _

" I shall propose to the Cour,' .mediately to re-ap-
point the Committee on Imir, ,ion, and I have some
important papers to lay befor,
" In a country where labour is so much in demand,
it must apprar strange to all who have their eyes directed
on us, that we should neglect the nearest source from
which it is to be obtained—l mean the real children of

" The colonists are ir,di vidually no less than collec-
tively concerned in this important matter; and in ad-
dition.to the considerations of religion, humanity, and
jastice, which press so heayily upon us, we have now a
further reason for turnitig our attention to it, as I have
