pose of proceeding to .13ilbao. There seems to be no
doubt existing of the intention of the Regent to visit
San Sebastian. It is said that the contribution levied
on Bilbao amounts to more than 5,000,b00 of reals.
This unhappy city will have paid dearly fir its share
in the insurrection.

The military commission -for the trial and punish-
ment of persons concerned, directly or indirectly, in
the late Insurrection; and • alluded to • in' the '5Ol article
of, the.kado of Gen.:Rodil, is named for San Sebastian.

A young man named Vial was shot in Bilbao on the
25th inst., by order of Martin Zurbano., The crime of
whiCh he was accu:,ed was, that he had publicly, and in
the hearing of several military men, severely censured
the conduct of Zurbano, in shooting the six militates of
Alava, as well as the seven nationals of Bilbao, who had
fired on the General as he entered the town, and who
were subsequently taken with knits in their hands. The
unfortunate individual who thus paid with his life for an
unguarded, and, under the circumstances, an imprudent
expression, was formerly a captain in the Carlist army,
but had long since retired from the service in conse-
quence of the loss of a leg during the second siege of
Bilbao, in 1836. lie had been residing in St. Jean de
Luz with his family until the -period of the treaty of
Bergara, when, availing himself of the benefit of its'con-
ditions, he returned to Bilbao, and fixed his residence
there. The father of Vial was in 1834 Charge d'Affifires
in London, and I believe for some time after Secretary to
the Spanish Embassy. .
General O'Donnell was married about three years
since to the widow of a Catalan manufacturer, who died
not in flourishing circumstances. According to the
customs and laws of the province, the lady after his
death is entitled to receive the dowry she had brought
her husband, and this claim is satisfied in preference to
any other against the estate. The interest of the dowry
of Madame O'Donnell, together with the half-pay of her
present husband, was barely sufficient to afford a decent
1.11014,01100 ; and even from these slender resources he
allowed his mother and sister a small sum monthly, which
forined their sole dependence. The father of General
O'Donnell was a General of Artillery, and after his
death his widow
_received the usual allowance granted
to the widows of general officers, until the break-
ing. out of the civil war, when; she forfeited all claim
to her pension for ever on account ,of the'ifery.. dis-
tinguished part she took in favour of Don Carlos. Dur-
ing the war she held some place of honour with one of
the , pretender's . family, and after the treaty of Bergara
she retired to Bayonne, after having been robbed of all
she pcvsessed by the disbanded Carlist soldiers. Since
then she has been living in Bayonne with her only
daughter, also a widow, and with two children, • and en-
tirely. dependent on her son. The result of the late at-
tempt at revolution has consequently left her in a desti-
tute condition.

Urbistondo, who is connected by marriage with the
family of the late General Cordova, finds himself in
an equally distressed.situation. Whatever property he
post3wti be lost,' it is said by gambling, that vice so
common among Spaniards. lie had little or nothing
beyond the allowance secured to him as a retired Lieute-
nant-General by the treaty of I3ergara, and of which he
is, of course, for ever deprived.
I,T4ArQUI (hi Pastor), who is now residing at Carebo,
in the family of a relative, possesses some trilling property
in the province of Guipuscoa, in right of his wife, from
whom he has been for really years separated. It is said
that this prorrty will be confiscated.
