SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the Bth have been received.
On the 7th instant the Society of Veteran Militia-
men dined together to celebrate the anniversary of
the action of the 7th July, 1822. General NARVAEOIS
and Count MIRASOL were both present, and sub-
scribed largely to the funds of the society.
The Heraldo, with that unblushing disregard of
truth which characterises CHRISTINA, NARVAEZ, and
their tool, SOTOMATOR, who speaks but as he is
prompted, denies that Elio is in Spain. His procla-
mation, which we published yesterday, is a sufficient
reply to this attempt of NARYAEZ to deceive the
Madrilenos. Those most veracious organs of NAR-
VAEZ and CHRISTINA, the Heraldo and the Espano,
only two days previously denied that CABRERA was
in Spain, and declared that he was confined with the
gout at Toulon. Perhaps the following account of
CABRERA'S first battle, extracted from the Journal
du Peuple of Bayonne, may enlighten them as to the
whereabout of that formidable chieftain :

" Cabrera, four days after his entry into Catalonia,
fought an action which has given him fresh celebrity in
the eyes of his partisans, by the display of military
talent which he gave, and by the loss he occasioned to
his opponents. On the 28th June he was at Samulus,
about five leagues from Barcelona, when he received
intelligence that General La Rocha was advancing to
attack him with about 3,000 men, while the whole force
he (Cabrera) could oppose to him was 900 infantry and
25 cavalry. Instead of fly ing,c,Cabrera immediately left
the village, took up a position with his troops, and
awaited until the first body of the Queen's troops ad-
vanced within pistol shot. He then advanced :his men
to fire, when the full discharge killed a great num-
ber of the enemy, without his losing a single
man, in consequence of the excellent position
in which he had placed them. The firing lasted
for upwards of two hours, and then, in order to take ad-
vantage of the ground, be ordered his men to retire, in
order to draw his assailants into a small valley, which
was skirted with plantations, which afforded him cover
for his followers, and from which he kept up:a con-
stant discharge of musketry until a late hour at night
with rapidly increasing loss to the Queen's forces. He
then made a movement which led General La Rocha to
believe that he had retired towards the mountains of
Monscue, whilst, in reality, his troops went quietly to
repose themselves at Caldas de Monburg.
" Forcadell, with the forces which he had assembled,
attacked on the same 'day some other bodies of the
~Queen's troops, and after a sharp skirmish he remained
:master of the position which the latter had occupied, and
with about 400 of their men as prisoners.
" In Catalonia the Carlist party is making immense
progress, and in a little time the Queen's troops will not
dare to show themselves in the open field, iu spite of
their numerical force, unless, indeed, they receive very
considerable reinforcements."

The following details of the present state and
location of the Carlist army in Spain show that
General NARVAEZ will have soon something else to
do than to attend public dinners. It is no longer a
Carlist insurrection ; it is a civil war. _

The Opinion Publique, after referring to the death
of General ALZAA, who was treacherously drawn
into a snare by URBISTONDO, and shot in violation of
a pledge, proceeds to state the forces of the Carlists
on the faith of its Bayonne correspondent. Navarre
is, according to this paper, up to a man. ITURBE is
at Viana with 16,000 men ; ZARIATEGUY, brother of
the General, is in the Carraseel with 200 ; Colonel
ZABALETA is in the same country near Pampeluna,
with a similar number. These two chiefs are wait-
ing for the QUEEN'S General VILLALONGA, who has
sailed from Pampeluna in the direction of Sangueza.
Generals ZUBIRI and SOTO occupy the Aldules and
Burguete, to protect the entry of arms, ammunition,
and emigrants. General RArALDA, at the head of
1,500 men, is in the Barranca (Borunda), escorting
General ELto, who is actively organizing the insur-
gent army. They have already formed custom-lines,
and blockaded fortified points. Most of the
Carlist officers who had profited by the amnesty have
joined their colours. The secretary of Emo, M.
ABINANO, was arrested at Pampeluna; but the brother
of the General made his escape, joined by all the
young men of the town. At Manzanares, New Cas-
tilla, a guerilla body has already appeared. Upper
and Lower Arragon have pronounced.
That the Orleanist faction, which at present ty-
rannizes over Spain, can by its own unaided strength
conquer such a formidable array of force as the
Carlists will soon bring into the field, seems impos-
sible. The success of the Christinos in the former war
was owing entirely to the Progresistas, who will now
stand neutral, or if they aid either party, will aid
the Montemolinists, inasmuch as the Count of
MONTEMOLIN, who is a man of honour and a true
Spaniard, having promised a free constitution, while
the QUEEN has been forced by the Orleanist party,
who kept her a prisoner, to violate the Constitution
and to permit her Ministers to rule despotically ;
the cause of the Count DE MONTEMOLIN has now
become the cause of constitutional liberty.
SALAMANCA is at Bayonne. _ _

The average price of wheat throughout Spain for
the last month was 41 reals per fanega, equal to 43s
per quarter. The highest price was at Gerona,
where the monthly average was twenty-four reals per
fanega. Rice averaged 31 reals for the arroba of 25
pounds weight for the whole country ; the highest
monthly average being 48 reals at Leon, and the
lowest 23 reals at Valencia.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.

It was rumoured that the Government had received
information that the defeated insurgents intended to
make another attempt to establish the regime of plun-
der on the anniversary of taking of the Bastille, this
day. Several anonymous letters have been sent to
M. DUPONT DE L'EURE, revealing the projects of the
conspirators. According to these letters, the inten-
tion is to set fire at once to the house occupied by
General CAVAIGNAC, and to the residences of the
Minister of War and the Commander-in-Chief of the
Garde Mobile, and thus to create confusion and alarm
in the richest quarters of Paris.
The Constitutionnel thus alludes to the designs of
the disaffected :

"The firm and resolute tone assumed by M. Stiaard, in
the name of the Government, in presenting the Bills
relative to the clubs and the press, has produced a re-
turn of confidence, and caused a rise in quotations at
the Bourse. There are at this moment in presence
two conflicting influences, which act by turns on the
public mind, and animate and weaken the hopes of the
public. Whilst the Assembly and the Government
seek to secure order and restore labour, by the re es-
tablishment of confidence, and the restoration of activity
to trade, agitators are busily engaged, either by vile
attempts, or by crimes, to keep up a perpetual state of
anxiety in Paris, in order to increase the misery of the
working classes, and give a fresh impetus to disorder. It
is this party of agitators that we designate the famine
and misery party. They base their odious calculations
on the duration and excess of public misfortune. Re-
newed prosperity would condemn them to powerlessness.
" There is, therefore, no design too monstrous to be
taken hold of by these sanguinary agitators. At one
time they organize assassination on a large scale. Nut
content with firing at the corner of every street on the
armed force who may be moving about singly, they pro-
pose, it is said, to visit the residences of the representa-
tives and murder them in their houses. At another time
the question of incendiarism and infernal machines is in
contemplation. Quarries, sewers, and mines, dug for
the purpose, are to be filled with powder, so that Paris,
surprised and alarmed by numerous explosions in dif
ferent parts at the same time, may more easily fall into
the power of those factious robbers.
" At another time a still more execrable crime is
agitatel by them. A razzia has been in contemplation
on all the boarding schools and convents, from which all
the inmates are to be taken and retained as hostages
until the release of all the prisoners in confinement has
been ordered, with any other financial or political capi-
tulation which may be imposed by the actors of this in-
fernal scheme.

" To denounce these frightful schemes is to say that
the authorities are warned of them ; that tile schools
are the object of a particular and special surveillance,
and that an attempt at any of those monstrous measures
will only cause redoubled vigilance.
" The more the conspiracy was abominable, the more
disgust and horror was inspired in the minds of those
whom it is wished to gain over as participators in it,
and the more the number of agitators become reduced.
A less violent plan was, therefore, talked of to keep the
capital in a continued state of uneasiness and perpetuate
the existing misery. It was to form a column of from
thirty thousand to forty thousand persons if possible,
and to march to the National Assembly, aid then de-
mand food, or to be shot—that was to be the watchword.
The answer has been already given—it consists in
the assistance which the state distributes to the old
workmen of the Ateliers Nationaux through the medium
of the mayors ; in the, funds voted every day to give a
iernictestsoant exertions of
restore credit,
and,tfrhees ssi nae nPu bat e r andto
00f

" The answer to be given to these 30,000 petitioners
may well be You, yourselves, by lending yourselves
as you have done to the manoeuvres of the enemies of
society and of the Republic, destroy the public for-
tune on which you wish to live; you destroy the
sources of labour, the very object of your desires; you
make yourselves the accomplices of the ' Famine and
Misery Party, who build their hopes on.the excesses of
your sufferings.
" The efforts of good citizens, the firmness of the As-
sembly and of the Government—the inflexible resolution
which they will show in the maintenance of order, will
repress and discourage all those detestable ideas. Con-
fidencewill return in spite of the efforts of those who
wish to destroy it. The discovery of the desperate
schemes of bad citizens will still more contribute to for-
tify the hope of honest ones. Such a state of things
imposes more than ever on the Executive Power the
necessity of energy, and on the police devotedness and
capacity."

The Beforme denies altogether the existence of any
conspiracy against the cause of order, and the ales-
sager says— _ _

" The alarmists continue to instil apprehensions for
the 14th of July, and some of the vanquished, in a spirit
of impudent defiance, which is really an attack upon
order, go about repeating that all is not finished, that the
beginning only has been seen, Sae. We cannot declare
too strongly that no new effort of bad passion is to be
made at this moment. We will add, that even if it were
not physically impossible fur sedition again to raise its
head, the force assembled in Paris, and the measures
taken for the maintenance of order, would make of a
combat, if it should be attempted, only an occasion for
an exemplary and final chastisement."
It is satisfactory, however, to know that General CA-
IIAIGNAC has adopted every measure of precaution
against surprise, and that even should an outbreak be
attempted, the insurgents have not the least chance
of succeeding in their criminal designs.

General CHANG ARNIER, Commander-in-Chief of the
National Guards, has had conferences with the dif-
ferent colonels, to whom he has communicated his
plans of defence.
Several houses in the neighbourhood of the Made-
leine have been searched, and 300 muskets and large
quantities of ammunition have been seized.
The horrible system of private assassinations still
continues. The Patrie says—

" On Tuesday a Garde Mobile was stabbed in the
breast on the Place de l'Hotel de Ville. The assassin,
who was immediately arrested, said that, as the insur-
rection was soon to recommence, and as he could not
take part in it, he wished to pay his debt beforehand.
The wretch was immediately taken to the Prefecture of
Police."

General JORRY and MM. TOWIANSKI and FERDI-
NAND GUTT, the two latter Polish emigrants, have
been arrested, as have several Russians, accused of
being implicated in the late insurrection. TOWIAN•
SKI is one of the apostles of Pansclavism.
The trials of the insurgents commence on Thurs-
day before four Military Commissions, appointed by
General CAVAIGNAC.

The attempt to enforce the decree of the Assembly
'reimposing the octroi duties in Paris has occasioned
some serious collisions at the barriers.

The Provisional Commission appointed to supply
the place of the late Municipal Council of Paris, and
the Council General of the Department of the Seine,
assembled at the Hotel de Ville for the first time on
Tuesday afternoon last, at eight o'clock. M. ARMAND
MARRAST, the Mayor of Paris, gave a melancholy
account of the financial position of that city. Its re-
venue has declined 50 per cent. since the revolution.
The treasury of the city was possessed on the 24th of
February of 17,500,000 f. (700,0001.), after having
paid 9,000,000 f. (360,0001.) for bread distributed
to the indigent during the year 1847. Of
these 17,500,000 f. the city possesses at present but
4,000,000 f. (160,0000 to pay all its expenses until
the 20th of August. The Mayor of Paris suggested
to the Municipal Council the necessity for immedi-
ately reimposing the entrance-duty on butchers'
meat, which was removed by the Provisional Go-
vernment, and which deprived the :city of a revenue
of 6,000,000 f. (240,0001.) The Mayor proposed,
moreover, to establish two great markets in Paris
for the sale of cattle unsold at the markets of Sceaux
and Poissy. Those markets would constitute a
competition with the licensed butchers, and thus
prevent a rise in the price of butchers' meat. He
likewise proposed to negotiate a loan of 25,000,000
francs (1,000,0001.), for which permission was
granted by the late Chamber of Deputies. The
Municipal Commission assented to all M. MARRAST'S
propositions. It subsequently appointed M. FRAN..
COIS ARAOO, President; MM. TUIERRY and Do-
VERGIER, Vice-Presidents; and MM. LANQUETIN
and HORACE SAY, Secretaries. A Committee was
also appointed, composed of MM. DELESTRE, OUTIN,
MORTIMER, TERNAUX, FRAUSSARD, GAMS, DUPE-
BIER, and GUINARD to devise the best mode of im-
proving the financial condition of the city of Paris.
A telegraphic dispatch has been received, an-
nouncing the recognition of the French Republic by
the POPE.

'We find the following in the Bien Public, on the
subject of M. DE LAMARTINE'S speech on the affairs
of Italy :
We do not publish the speech delivered in the Com-
mittee on foreign affairs. That speech touches on deli-
cate questions, on which it would be dangerous to throw
light and publicity. Besides this, we know that M. de
Lamartine did not speak for applause. He has proved,
in a sufficiently striking manner, his disdain for popu-
larity in sacrificing so generally his own for the safety
of the Republic. He only wishes to serve his country,
and he has no occasion for the glories of the tribune and
the press to encourage his patriotism."
General OUDINOT strongly urges immediate inter-
vention in the affairs of Italy.
The following article on the affairs of Ireland ap-
pears in the Vnivers, the organ of the Jesuits, which,
of O'CONNELL, supported the
duringßep e al
Association the lifetime
:

‘: The Government seems resolved upon dealing se-
verely with the anarchical party. After the departure
of Mr. Mitchel, Young Ireland gained an organ in the
Tribune. The Felon replaced the United Irishman, and
the Nation continued its warlike propagandism, preach-
ing that Ireland could only be freed by civil war. The
proprietors or editors of these journals are arrested, and
are about to be prosecuted. Severe measures are to be

taken against the clubs, several leading members of
which are to be put on their trial. These repressive
measures aro necessary for the security of the country.
The resolution of the Repeal Aasociation, repelling all
connexion with men whose ambition shrunk not before
the effusion of blood or the ruin of their country, was
very well timed. The energy of power can alone reserve
Ireland from the evil days that evil passions were pre-
paring for her."
There was yesterday a meeting of ouvriers in the
Faubourg du Houle, and near the Barri6re des Mon-
ceaux, close to the late Ateliers Nationaux. In some
instances they formed processions with flags, &c.
The Committee of Labour has approved of M.
LATRAM'S proposition to give the preference to asso-
ciations of workmen in the great undertakings of the
State. Such associations are not to be required to
furnish any caution money, but one-tenth of the price
of the adjudication is to be kept back until the com-
pletion of the works. If, after a delay of twenty
days, no association of workmen presents itself to
tender for any work, the adjudication will be pro•
ceeded to in the usual way in ten days after.
A promotion has taken place in the French army.
The following nominations are given :
Generals of Division—Generals of Brigade Charron,
Hecquet, Guillabert.
Generals of Brigade Colonels Cuny, Courtigis,
Creny.
Colonels of the Staff—TlM. Foltz, Sercey, Chobord,

vienne, Clerget. Tribert, Rocher Loverdo, Lebrun,
Saget, Lebris, Senneville.
Admiral BRUAT has just been nominated Mari-
time Prefect at Toulon, and is to set out at once for
his post.
Colonel PELISKER has been nominated Consul for
France at Malta,
The National Assembly met yesterday at two
o'clock.
The President stated that the funeral of General Du-
vivier had taken place that morning, and that the grand
deputation of the Assembly had attended, as well as a
number of other Members. The mortal remains of the
deceased general had been deposited in the vaults of the
Invalides, and M. Marie, the President, had spoken
words of touching eloquence on the patriotism and devo-
tedness of he who was gone and whom all lamented.
It is unnecessary to say," added M. Lacrosse, " that
this feeling of regret was unanimous in the mind of every
one present."—(Hear,, hear.)
A number of applications were read from Members of
the Assembly for a few days' leave of absence, on the
ground of ill-health. Amongst the gentlemen obliged to
thus take a short repose was M. Bethmont, Minister of
Justice.
So few Members were present at this time, that a cry
arose for the appel nominal, but several arriving at tho
moment from the Salle des Conferences the matter was
not insisted on.
The order of the day was the discussion on the Bill to
exempt for a certain number of years such houses the
construction of which shall be commenced before Jan. 1,

All, 1. Declare;; that all buildings viLiQb, at the pa•

riod just mentioned, have at levit reached the level of
the ground, shall be exempted for ten years from
taxation.

After some discussion, the date of July 1, 1850, was
fixed on as the period before which the buildings should
be commenced.

, BOURSE, —PARIS JULY 13.
.._

THREE O'CLOCK.—The business done at the Bourse
since the Revolution of July is so limited, that any
small transactions have a powerful effect either
in raising or depressing the funds. To-day the
rumours -of conspiracies and intended insurrec-
tions afloat alarmed the timid, and the funds have
gone down ; to-morrow it will be found that the
rumours were incorrect, 'and they will probably go
up again. The same thing has happened twice already
this week. For the Account, the French Three per
Cents. have fallen If. 50c.; Five per Cents. have also
fallen If. 50c. For Money, the Three per Cents. have
gone down If.; and the Five per Cents. if. 50c.; Bons
du Trilsor are at 16 discount; Bank of France Shares
have fallen 25f.; Belgian Bank Shares not quoted; Bel-
gian Five per Cents. have risen per cent.; Spanish Ac-
tive not quoted; Roman have risen lf.; Rothschild's
Receipts, which were not quoted yesterday, are at 73f.
Exchange on London (30 days), 25f. 50c.; ditto (90
days), 25f. 30c. Railway Shares for cash:—Orleans
have fallen 201.; Havres, 51.; Northerns, 5f.; Rouens
ate the same as yesterday. The .others have also fallen
but only to a trifling amount.
