spectators of passing events. In the Basque pr
vinces, with the exception of the employes, who, in most
instances, have been emigrants, there are very few to be
found. The main strength lies in the army, divided be-
tween Carlist and Exalted principles, the latter preponde-
rating. The jealousy between the guards and the line is
probably one of the causes of this division ; and I feel cer-
tain
that in the event of a general revolution, these two
portions of the army will be found lighting against each
other. The superior officers of the line are at the present i
moment Christinos ; but they are time-serving men, who
court the powers that be ; their rank secured, it matters
___...- /
not to them who governs the country—Christino, Carlist, f '
or a Dictator. It is not so with the subalterns ; many of—)
them have been emigrants ; others, during the period of -
their purification, have visited England and France, have
imbibed liberal ideas, and, from the neglect of their educa-
ton in early youth, they are not able to govern their pas-
sions, and lose the substance in seeking for the shadow.
The slowness of promotion is also another and most power-
ful cause in inducing them to seek for a change of system.
Carlos would restore that of Ferdinand ; Isabella is the
worthy successor of her beloved father. A revolution, the
Constitution of 1820, in their own opinion, can only remedy
the evils, and make Colonels of Ensigns, and Generals of
Lieutenants. The great portion, the, are poor, very poor,
living on their miserable pay ; to them a convulsion is a rich
harvest—the spoliation of the Church a Godsend. The pri-
Sates, whilst under the command of such men, are also exalted
in their ideas. They are easily worked ; they arc promised
meat each day. By the old system it was never seen, peas,
and at times a slice of fat, with brown bread, being their
only support. The prospect of extra pay is also held out
to them. In fine, they are at present Constitutional Libe-
rals ; but superior promises coming from Don Carlos, they
would be Carlists. This is the state of Isabella's army.
They fight not for her, But themselves ; their arms are to-
day
turned against Carlos, to-morrow against Isabella.
Mina, if stedfast to his principles—and there is no reason
to accuse him of ratting—will find an army disposed to
second him and his friends in proclaiming the Constitution
of 1820, the spoliation of the Church, and the destruction
of the present order of things. Hitherto the army has
avoided political discussions—they have carefully preserved
their secret—the conduct of the Procuradores has given
them additional courage. Now they fearlessly express their
opinions ; they avow themselves Exaltados, and declare
their determination of acknowledging no other Constitution
than that of 1820. It is erroneously supposed that the
army is opposed to Mina ; the mass is with him ; the Field
Officers and Guards against him. The majority is in his
favour. Mina, at the head of the army in Navarre, will
essentially assist the Exalted Procuradores, and the initia-
tion given at Madrid will find many fbllowers in Mina's offi-
cers. 1 have thus noticed particularly the army. The un-
armed Exaltados, emboldened by the success of the troops,
will join the cause, agitate the people, and assist in bringing
about a revolution, which can only be effected by wadiug
through rivers of blood. Thus stands the Exalted party; the
Carlists I gave you in my last. Christina or Isabella there
is none ; it is difficult to say which is the strongest, or
which most likely to remain r victors. The advantages in •
favour of Carlos, independent of the lower classes and
clergy being with him, are the fears which men of property
and moderate principles have for a revolution, and its con-
sequent destruction of property and social order. They
have lived under Ferdinand—they have lived under a con-
stitution—they vegetated quietly with the first, the second
reduced the country to a chaotic state of disorder and con-
fusion. Under Charles they return to the despotism of
Ferdinand ; governed by the Exaltados, they risk everything.
I am, therefore, inclined to believe, that Carlos will, in the
event of an exalted explosion, find his main strength in
those who, at the present moment, support the Government
of Isabella the Second. Let, therefore—now that Toreno
is seeking to get money for his bankrupt mistress—every
man examine into the state of Spain, calculate well the.
chances of a general revolution or a Carlist monarchy ;
study the pros and cons, but ultimately come to a resolution
not to advance a penny to either party.
The accounts received by the Carlist Junta from Cata-
lonia are very satisfactory for the cause of Don Carlos. I
am credibly informed that the purchasers of Ecclesiastical
property, during the Constitutional reign in 1820, are about
to produce their title deeds, and to insist on their legality-.
The Exalted party have promised to support them.
Previous to the Queen's army entering inte Pampeluna
there were many desertions. Five hundred stand of arms
were yesterday received by the Carlists.

BAYONNE, OCT. 25.

Yesterday, at 11 o'clock in the morning, a column of
3,000 infantry and 200 cavalry, commanded by General
Cordova, entered the town of Elisondo.
On the 18th General Lorenzo oebupied Arizala ; and
Zumalacarreguy, who was ia the neighbouring mountains
with six battalions, ex):ected to be able to develope -his
corps, and cownt'l 'nim to capitulate. A detachment of '2B
sharpsimters of the Queen's, who had been out reconnoi-
tering, having perceived the movements of the Carlists, in-
formed the general of their intention, who made the neces-
sary dispositions to repel their attack. In an instant he
was surrounded entirely by the insurgents, and no passage
left for a retreat. Finding no other alternative but to cut
his way through, their ranks, or lay down his arms, he sent
out a large party of Guerillas on the right, with orders to
attack them with vigour. This they executed with so much
effect, that the Carlists gave way, and Lorenzo was thus
enabled to clear a passage in that direction, and to assume
so strong a position as to baffle all the efforts of the assail'.
ants to dissolve him. They were thrown into some confii.
sion, which enabled the Christinos to follow them as far as
Iturgoyen, and to kill a considerable number. Lorenzo
set fire to nine mills along the road.
Arizala is within one league of Estella, and Iturgoyen
twoleaguesfarther.

The Carlists took three monlq of the convent of the
Crucifix of Puente la Reph, who were found without the
precincts of their nl6nastary; contrary to the orders of
Zumalaearreguy. Death might have been the price of
their disobedience, but the Carlists were satisfied with a
ransom of 2,500 duros, which they paid immediately. A
fourth monk, 80 years of age, who had remained in the
monastery, was carried off on the following day by General
Cordova, who, finding he had plenty of money, compelled
him to pay 5,000 duros. This convent never contains more
than four friars, echo assume the title of " Chaplain Knights
of the Great Cross of St. John of Jerusalem.'
On the 20th the Carlists arrested two inhal;fitants of
Ciragui, who were returning from Puente la Reyna (which
is garrisoned by the Queen's troops), and cial, off their ears.
The cholera is committing great havoc, among the Car-
lists, but it is still more destructive ir, the garrison towns
held by the Christinos, but part;xularly in Pampeluna,
Tafalla, Puente la Reyna, and F,stella. No less than 865
soldiers have died of the e
..i;idemic from the Ist to the
20th inst.

Captain Medw:in's cc Angler in Wales" is not only
an admirable pi4catory work, full of adventure along the shores
of the wild and on the bosom of the mountain lakes of
the Principality, and comprising a series of practical instruc-
tions for the brothers of the angle, but may be classed as a
body of original anecdote of some of the most famous per-
sonages of the age ; as, for example, Sir H. Davy, Lord
Byron, Rogers the poet, the late Duke of Norfolk, Shelley,
Lady Holland, Thomas Moore, Sir J. C. Hobhouse,
The particulars relative to Byron are exceedingly numerous
and new to the world, and as the Noble poet was very intimate
with the author, the statements, however curious, are unques-
tionably authentic. Among other claims to public admiration,
these volumes are abundantly illustrated with engravings,
which may be referred to as absolute triumphs of the art in
their peculiar way.

Great festivities took place at Moffat and Wamphrav
last Friday, on the occasion of the marriage of Miss Rogersvn,
only daughter and heiress of Dr. Rogerson of Dumerief; teA
the Hon. Mr. Rollo, eldest son of Lord Rollo. A party of
35, including the principal tenantry on Dr. Rogerson's estates:,
sat down to a sumptuous dinner in Mr. Cranstoun's Inn at
Moffat. Another large dinner party took place at Wamphrav,
followed by a ball, attended by a joyous company of upwards
of 100, consisting of the householders on the Wamphray
estate and their families—and that the poor might also rejoice
on the auspicious occasion, 301. was directed by the wealchE
proprietor and his lady to be distributed at Moffat and Wain-
phray. —Dumfries Courier.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, Ocr. 29.
Sales of cotton to-day 1,500 bags. Prices of American -4-
below last week ; the demand very limited; 150 Pernams,

In our last, we noticed the attempts made to improve
the breed of black-faced slierp peculiar to the mountain dis-
tricts, and observed that t•om the stocks being usually let with
the farms,
a"4-• ueed from themselves, they had not yet
recoivel/41 all
improvement of which they were capable. We
save s.'"'e learned that Mr. Joseph Robinson, of ThrelkeldhaQ ,
attention to this valuable I reed of
paid a good deal of
sheep. Two premiums for the best lots of ewes and shear-
lings were awarded to him at the Penrith Agricultural Show,
and he lately sold a ram of the black-faced breedtwo years old
for 41., and a shearling ram of the same breed for 51. y Mr. IL
is allowed to be one of the most scientific sheep-breeders in the
neighbourhood, and bids fair to produce one of the best stocks
in the county, and, as a proof of its superior4y, his rams are
eagerly sought after by the breeders in the district, and gene-
rally sold at the above prices.— Whiteltatien Herald.
