SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 17th have arrived.
Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA has been ordered to
set out on his travels, accompanied by his daughter,
the Infanta Josef's.

The Madrid Gaceta announces that the Com-
mander of the Carabineers had defeated, in the valley
of Erro, the united bands of ILZARBE and ZUBLRI
with the loss of nine killed and thirty wounded.,
Another encounter had taken place between Bri-
gadier EGUILUZ and the faction of ITURMENDI, in the
valley of Ega; in which 17 of the latter were killed
and many made prisoners.
Notwithstanding the defeat of ILZARBE and Zu-
BIRI, the Montemolinist insurrection in Catalonia and
the Basque Provinces is becoming every day more
formidable. A letter dated Opeja, on the frontier of
Catalonia, July 17th, says—
"On the 11th, in the environs of Santa Maria de
Borreda, a murderous battle was fought between the
Carlists and the troops of Queen Isabella. The result
was favourable to the Carlists, for they not only re-
mained musters of the field, but took 51 prisoners, among
whom was a lieutenant, with 70 muskets and a consider-
able quantity of ammunition. The Christino forces
under the command of General Enna and Parades,
amounted to 1,500 men, while the Montemoliniats were
only 800, but Cabrera was at their head. The person
who gave mo these details, an old military man who has
made all the campaigns of the empire, assures me that he
never saw a greater inveteracy in so smalls number of com-
batants. After the first volley the two columns rushed
against each other with their bayonets, and in half an
hour shed more blood than usually flows in an action
lasting the whole day. Cabrera, at the head of forty
horse, performed prodigies of valour, and broke his
sword in the melee. This extraordinary man has been
able, by himself alone, to change the whole aspect of
Catalonia. After the battle of June 28, and this of
July 11, the 40,000 troops of Isabella trust hold them-
selves upon the defensive, or they will be defeated by
the Lion of the Macstrugo. According to the orders
issued by Cabrera, there will be no more small parties.
All the columns will amount to 800 men, so that they
may be able to contend without too great a disadvantage
with columns of 1,000 or 1,500 foot, and 50 horse."
A letter from Rosas, Catalonia, of the 12th, says
that a column of Government troops that went out
from Gerona had been obliged to return, in conse-
quence of the approach of 600 Carlists, who advanced
and lodged themselves in the villages immediately
round Gerona.

A band of thirty mounted Carlists entered Spain
from the frontiers of Portugal, seized the public
treasury of Villaneuva de la Serena, and retired
with their booty on the approach of a column of the
QUEEN'S troops.
A band of mounted Carlists, under PEco, entered
La Mancha, and occupied the town of Almodovar del
Campo on the 14th, where a letter from Almagro
states that they were enlisting men, and had already
enlisted
.:man' beforehand, to be ready to take the
field as soon as PEco should present himself.
