my convictions, I should hive thought that I was want-
ing to all the antecedents of my life if I continued to
make one of an assembly which abandoned the country
at the moment when it needs the concurrence and intel-
ligence of all its citizens.
" Accept, &c. "DEGOUSSEE."

The reply of General BARAGUAT D'HILLIEns
may be considered as almost an open repudiation
of Republicanism on the part of the Republicans of
Lendemain :

" Paris, Nov. 6th, 1841.

" Sir,—The letter by which you send me your resig-
nation as vice-president of the Club of the Rue de
Poictiers, and in which you also announee to the meeting
that you are to be no longer considered among the num-
ber of its members, has ju.t reached me, and I hasten to
acknowledge the receipt of it.
" Your letter, sir, will be read at the next meeting;
but permit me, as president of that meeting, to observe
to you that I am the more particularly surprised to find
that you have so misunderstood the spirit which animates
us, because you have been among us for a long time, and
you may have seen how every one, at our sittings, bad
the right and the liberty to form his opinion, as you
yourself have frequently experienced; and that in
naming you as one of the vice-presidents, the meeting
has given a striking testimony of its desire to conciliate
all men who are friends to order and to the happiness of
their country.
" If at the last sitting the meeting did not adopt your
advice, and proclaim itself in favour of the min of your
affections as a candidate for the Presidency of the Re-
public, if it thought fit to remain in ptrfect independence
of the future choice of the people, whatever it may be,
and not in advance to raise any hostility against him—
instead of seeing in this any change of its principles, and
the line of conduct it has constantly endeavoured to fol-
low, you ought to have acknowledged the prudence and
discretion of which it has on all occasions given proof.
You say that 37 members against 52 participated in your
opinion. Permit me here to rectify an error. There
were nearly 200 members present, and if I abstained
from counting a greater number of opponents to the
measure you proposed, it was because the formality
became useless. You find that the 150 other members
who contended against it abandoned the Republic
and the country at the moment when they had
most need of the concurrence and intelligence
of all the citizens. Permit me, sir, to believe
that they know better than you do the interests
of France, and have given a striking tt stimony of this
by not suffering themselves to be led into the path which
you wished to open to them. The Club of the Rue de
Poictiers will never be unfaithful to its mission. It
wishes for the consolidation of order, and it will con
stantly repel every measure which may. again plunge
the country into anarchy. What it desired at the be-
ginning of the session it still desires. France, which has
so well appreciated its votes, will pronounce between it
and you.
" Accept, sir, &c.,
" General BARAGUAY D'HILLIERS."

At a meeting of the Club of the Institute, it was
determined that a ballot should take place, and that
the candidate who obtained the majority of suffrages
should be put forward as the candidate, not of the
club, but of the majority. On the ballot General
CAVAIGNAC obtained a considerable majority.

"It was said yesterday at the Chamber," says the
Union, " that the explanations which have taken place
between M. LEON FAUCUER and M. LEDRU ROLLIN
were on the point of being terminated in a manner
altogether pacific, in consequence of the intervention
of mutual friends."

The vice-presidents and secretaries of the Assembly
were elected on Monday for the ensuing month. The
♦ice-presidents are MM. Bmo LACROSSE, General
BEDEAU, MM. LEON DE MALLEVILLE, CORBON, and
HAvIN. The secretaries are MM. PEUPIN and
HECKEREN.

The Committee on Public Worship has adapted the
proposition of M. 15AMBERT for giving retiring pen-
sions to ecclesiastics.

The Commission of Clemency appointed by General
CAVAIGNAC has recommended 994 of the insurgents
of June for immediate liberation, and they have been
liberated accordingly. The Commissioners have been
instructed to form a second category of those persons
who, since the imprisonment, have given proofs of a
return to ideas of order and respect for the law, and
to prepare a list of three categories;-Ist. Those who
appear disposed to enter on a better course, and who
may be hereafter objects of clemency ; 2dly. Those
whose amelioration is doubtful ; and 3dly. Those who
appear decidedly incorrigible. The Commissioners
will set out immediately for Brest, L orient, and
Cherbourg.
The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the text of
the Constitution as finally adopted by the National
Assembly, and also the decree relative to the ceremo-
nies to be observed at the proclamation of the Con.
stitution.

The Miniteur also publishes a decree appointing
the meetings of the Councils-General of the Depart-
ments for the 21st of November.

S PAIN.

Madrid journals of the Ist November have arrived.
Alarming news had been received from the northern
provinces in the cot.:se of the morning, and a Cabinet
Council had been I,urriec ly called, and was sitting in
deliberation when the post left. It was said that
CADRER A had surprised and utterly annihilated a
large body of Government troops at Tortosa. That
the insurrection is spreading in all parts of Spain,
and has now assumed a most formidable character, is
evident from the admissions of the organs of the
Government.

The Heraldo publishes a letter from Huesca,
which says that a numerous Carlist band has invaded
that province, in which it has been levying contri-
butions for four days, and seizing and selling
salt (a royal monopoly) in various towns; and the
letter adds, that unless the military force of the pro-
vince is greatly increased, the enemy might overrun
it without finding the least obstacle opposed to him.
The Carlists, it is said, are in possession of the towns
of Grans, Castro, and Barbastro. In the province of
Valencia Colonel SCUDRA, a Progres►sista officer, re-
volted at Concentania on the 25th, at the head of 200
men. He attacked the QUEEN'S troops the next day,
and defeated them, taking from them their baggage,
and forcing them to retreat. He himself directed his
march towards Planes. Another Progressista chief,
named Remold°, at the head of 300 men, has taken
possession of the villages of Alhaya and Onteniente ;
and a third column, of about 60 men, commanded by
GATO, is scouring the country in every direction
without any obstacle. In the environs of Cullosca
there is also a strong body of Progressistas, under the
command of Colonel ABAD, who it was rumoured had
taken possession of the town.

Letters from Pampeluna confirm the report of the
rising of the Cinco•Villas, and state that 60 of the
QUEEN'S cavalry have gone over to the insurgents.
The democratic movements is represented as daily
spreading and becoming more formidable. Reinforce-
ments were arriving every day, especially at Sara-
gossa. It was reported at Pampeluna that the poli•
tical chief of that place had received information of
an insurrectional movement at Vittoria and its neigh-
bourhood.
The Bolsa was closed on the Ist, it being All
Saints' Day.
