FRENCH PAPERS

( From Galignani's Messenger of Friday. )

The Journal de Paris says :—" Don Carlos continues re-
tired in the mountains, studiously avoiding a descent into the
plain, where Gen. Rodil wishes to draw him. No news of an
engagement has yet been received. Letters received to-day
from Rodil announce that he has taken all necessary mea-
sures, and expresses a confident hope of success."
We have received some Madrid Journals that were in arrear.
The Gazette of the 9th inst. contains a long Decree of the
Queen Regent, the object of which is to ensure a more re-
gular payment of the tithes and first fruits, as it is becoming
every day more and more difficult to provide for the support of
the Catholic Clergy ; and, what is still more serious, the Na-
tional Treasury can no longer reckon upon the important re-
venue which it has heretofore derived from these ecclesiastical
contributions, of which three-fourths are deducted by the Go-
vernment under the heads of tercios, noveno, escusado, sub-
sidies, annats, espolios, fondopio beneficial, 6-c. The papers
of the 14th are filled with articles more or less virulent against
the clergy, monks, and functionaries, who are accused of
Carlism. The war for places is the order of the day. The
general topic of conversation for some days has been the al-
leged discovery of a conspiracy in Galicia, the object of which
was to proclaim Mina Dictator ; it was, according to report,
disclosed by a Lieutenant-Colonel, and has led to the arrest of
fifty individuals.
The Brunswick Gazette states that since the departure of
M. de Tatischeff, the Russian Ambassador from Vienna, Sir
Frederick Lamb, the British Ambassador, has had more fre-
quent communications with Prince Metternich than with any
of the other Foreign Ministers.
The Temps says, " The French Carlists, not content with
openly expressing their wishes for the success of the expedi-
tion of Don Carlos, with augmenting the number of his bul-
letins, and rallying around him from all parts a numerous
band of partisans, are going farther, and are making conside-
rable sacrifices of money, in order to assist him in his enter-
prise.
The Indicateur of Bordeaux, of the 22d instant, has the fol-
lowing from Bayonne of the 20th :—" It is stated that upon
Rodil's entry into Navarre, he instantly assembled all those
officers who had distinguished themselves during the war for
Spanish independence, and, in a short address, expressed his
wishes to have their opinions upon the plan of campaign to be
adopted, and as to the means which had formerly been found
advantageous to their engagements, the resources of the
country, &c. Each officer having freely delivered his opinion,
it would appear that the following resolutions were come to :-
1. The Spanish army should occupy those parts where the po-
pulation is most numerous, and within as small a compass as
possible ; 2. They should keep on the defensive during a cer-
tain period ; 3. Every exertion should be made to intercept the
Carlist communications, taking special care to prevent their
obtaining cattle and provisions. These rumours as to the
tactics of Rodil have obtained but little belief.
(From Galignani's Messenger of Saturday.)

Count Drouet d'Erlon has been appointed Governor of the
colony of Algiers.
The Moniteur contains a Royal ordinance, which, after re-
ferring to a Royal ordinance of the 6th February, 1818, rela-
tive to clemency in favour of condemned individuals who con-
duct themselves properly during their imprisonment, extends
the benefits of these provisions to the colonies, and prescribes
the formalities to be observed for the transmission to the Go-
vernment of reports from the Governors of the respective
colonies, upon which his Majesty will decide.
The Government received last evening from Bayonne the
_

following telegraphic despatch, dated .1 hursday :—" Rodil
has occupied Onate, Salvatierra, Segura, and Atagna. Zuma-
lacarreguy has retreated upon Alzazua. Don Carlos appears
to have quitted his head-quarters ; he dined near Pampeluna
on the 21st, and it is said that he is either at Elisondo or at
Valcarlos. An aide-de-camp of Rodil, who left that General
at Estella on the 20th, is now here ; he was the bearer of
despatches for General Harispe." (The conclusion of the
despatch was interrupted by the approach of night.) Estella,
where Rodil has taken up his head-quarters, is a small town
beyond Lerin and Ledosa, ten leagues from Pampeluna,
and eight from Salvatierra. The latter place is six leagues
to the right of Vittoria, in the direction of Pampeluna.
Onate is about two leagues and a half to the north of Sal-
vatierra, and at the distance of a league and a half to the east
of Mondragon, a large fortified town upon the high road
from Bayonne to• Vittorria. Segura is situated about three
leagues to the north-east of Onate, and at two leagues from
Villafranca, another town on the high road; Atagua is
about a league from Segura and Alzazva ; while the troops
of Zumalacarreguy are at a league and a half from Atagua.
Both are very small villages. Valcarlos, where Don Carlos
is supposed to be at present, is situated in a valley of the
Pyrenees near the French frontiers, on the road from St.
Jean-Pied-de-Port to Pampeluna, and 15 leagues to the north
of that place. Valcarlos is separated from the valley of Bas-
tan, where Elisondo is situated, by the French canton of
Aldudes, which branches out towards the frontiers of Spain.
The Sentinelle des Pyrenees of Bayonne of the 22d instant
announces that Don Manuel Guerrea, who, by the supplement
to the act of amnesty, was allowed to return to Spain, has been
restored to his rank as colonel of cavalry, and ordered to join
General Rodil's corps.
The Augsburgh Gazette of the 22d inst. contains an article
from Frankfort of the 15th, which states that the dissatisfac-

tion which has been expressed with the negotiation at Biebe-
rich is groundless, as there is reason to believe that the affair
of the Luxemburg territory will be satisfactorily arranged
there. The publication of the protocol of the Vienna Con-
ferences is novi expected. Several Ministers of the Confedera-
tion, who had left our city, will return here towards the end
of the month for a few days, as they are to meet in order to
finish and complete the deliberations at Vienna. The same
paper also states, after accounts from Munich of the 20th,
" that the Ministerial Counsellor Von Hacker and Dr. An-
selm are going to Greece. A number of volunteers have set
out for Trieste to join the Royal troops in Greece. The Ba-
varian army now consists of 1 field-marshal, 2 generals of
infantry and cavalry, 15 lieutenant-generals, 26 major-
generals, 37 colonels, 45 lieutenant-colonels, 73 majors, 204
captains of the first, and 133 of the second class, 329 first and
600 second lieutenants. The whole army consists of 57,016
men, of which 17,196 are constantly on furlough. The Ga-
zette quotes the funds at Vienna on the 17th inst. ;—Five per
Cent. Metalliques, 99 ; Four per Cents., 90 ; Bank Actions,
1,249."

The Lausanne Gazette of the 22d inst. contains the follow-
ing :—" The members of the Diet were present at the dinner
given at Zurich on Thursday on the shooting-ground. Nearly
4,000 persons, chiefly composed of archers, sat down to table.
The weather was most propitious, the scene being enlivened
by a most brilliant sun. M. Hirzel, President of the Diet,
upon proposing a toast, took occasion to refer to the right of
asylum in the following terms :—' Let our country be a port,
a place of refuge, to the stranger threatened with destruction
from political conflagration. But whether he passes the Alps,
the Jura, or the :Rhine, he should, upon entering a friendly
country, lay down his arms, and conduct himself peaceably,
as becomes a guest, or repair to any place where the right of
asylum may be violated with impunity.' "
The following telegraphic despatch from Bayonne, dated
Wednesday, was received yesterday :—" They write from Ma-
drid that the Regent will go in person to the opening of the
Cortes. From Navarre, we learn that Don Carlos and Zuma-
lacarreguy are surrounded, in the Borunda, by Rodil's troops,
and that a general engagement appears inevitable."
A letter from Bayonne of the 20th, states that the French
troops have been stationed from distance to distance along the
frontiers, but up to the present this appears to be merely a pre-
cautionary movement.
A letter of the 19th instant, from Madrid, received by ex-
press has the following:_" The public tranquillity was se-
riously disturbed here the day before yesterday, and yesterday
the cholera having broken out with extreme violence, the peo-
ple persuaded themselves that the public fountains had been
poisoned, and imputed this imaginary crime to the monks.
Three convents were forced and pillaged, and several of the
monks massacred. Yesterday the Convent of Our Lady of
Atocha was attacked, but the armed force repelled the assail-
ants, and tranquillity was restored, and has not since been dis-
turbed. The authorities have taken measures to prevent a
return of these disorders."

Extract of a letter from Madrid of the 19th inst. It is
not as yet known what number of the Spanish grandees will
sit in the Chamber of the Proceres. According to general
opinion, they will be about 46. The Minister of Justice has
just appointed a Royal Commissary, who is to proceed forth-
with to Navarre, for the purpose of trying all those who have
taken part in the insurrection in that quarter. He is autho-
rized to carry into execution the sentences pronounced against
the guilty parties. Travellers, who arrived yesterday from
Burgos, state that a sanguinary engagement has taken place
between the insurgents of Castile and the Queen's troops upon
the high road from that city to Madrid. They counted 144
dead bodies of the insurgent party, and a few belonging to the
Queen's troops. It is asserted that Merino, who has re-ap-
peared, was at the head of the rebels. However, his presence
on this occasion is not quite consistent with the last news we
had of him, unless he has the power of übiquity. The latest
intelligence from Soria represented that Merino, Cuevillas,
and Basileo were at the head of 1,000 men, and had en-
tered Agreda, threatening that town, which had no other
protection than its Urban Guards. It is, however, known that
Colonel Albrien (el Manco) followed close in the track of the
rebels, at the head of a force sufficiently strong to attack them.
Numerous desertions are said to have taken place in favour of
Don Carlos, but according to the accounts we have received,
the whole number amounts to thirty horsemen belonging to the
detached corps. With respect to Don Carlos, as soon as he
had passed through Borunda, his troops and those of the
Queen came in sight of each other at Salinas de Oro, and a
general attack is hourly expected. The fanatical peasants
are rising in the mass to join the Pretender ; all they want are
muskets. The Bishop of Pampeluna has been arrested by
order of General Carrera, and immediately conducted to the
head-quarters of General Rodil. During the mass and Te
Deum, at which Don Carlos attended at the church of Eli-
sondo, the Prince placed himself under a sort of canopy,
which is only used for the procession of the Fete Dieu, and
carried by four priests ; four other priests walking backwards
were constantly engaged in offering him incense ; and in this
way he was reconducted to the house occupied by him during
his short stay in that village."
The Journal des Debats observes that the pacification of the
Peninsula was:. 'the end proposed by the four Powers, who
signed the Quadriparte Treaty of April 22. Any new fuel
given to the disorders in Spain brings the same interests into
collision, and inevitably leads them to the same end. Whe-
ther the dangers of Portugal spring from the Spanish Pre-
tender, or the perils of Spain come from the Portuguese Pre-
tender, matters little to the two Powers who have covered and
protected with their name the restoration of order in the Pe-
ninsula, and the establishment of two Constitutional Thrones.
It is not for them to shake off a responsibility that they vo-

luntarily took upon themselves in the interest of their ho-
nour and security. Nor is it for them to extend it beyond
the limits traced out by the stipulations of the Treaty. But it
was proper and useful to show beforehand that the events of
tho Peninsula were subject to the same accord and control
of the Powers who accepted the joint care of their deve-
lopement.

PARTICULAR'S OF THE DISTURBANCES AT
MADRID.

the mortality
hthoeurMofadthreidmGoratzlienigte, orfeptloiretsl9otfh.
From an( Fearorliny
produced by the prevailing diseases became more rife and ex-
tended, and in proportion as the number of new cases and oc-
curring deaths were disclosed, so in the natural proportion
were people's minds disquieted and disturbed respecting them.
To other causes, in course of time, was added a new one--that
the fountains had been poisoned, and this, from its enormity,
soon absorbed all others ; for, unfortunately, receiving coun-
tenance from some circumstances which accompanied it, it soon
wholly possessed the public mind, and greatly disturbed public
order and tranquillity. It appeared that a boy of ten, but of
a cunning beyond his years, the son of an ex-Royalist volun-
teer, was found with a small vessel in his hand in the fountain
of Avapies. This occurrence alarmed the immediate neigh-
bours, and the additional circumstance of an alcalde having re-
moved the vessel, in order to have its contents analysed, but
aggravated the alarm. About the same time two manufacturers
of cigars in the city were detected, upon whom were found va-
rious small cakes of mix vornica, which they said had been
given them at an eating-house in the Calle de los Coyos, where,
upon examination, were found two pounds and seven ounces
of the same material, which the owner admitted he had re-
ceived for working up, from the junta of pharmacy. An
hour after this discovery a party of people at the Puerta del
Sol stopped a young man of 20 years, whom they accused of
having thrown some powders into the tanks of the fountains
in that neighbourhood, but whom they treated so roughly, that
he died whilst they were conducting him to prison. Public
irritation being thus increased by these new excitements, the
people turned out in a body and rushed towards the college of
the Jesuits, whence they said shots had been fired against
them, and where an agent of destruction, with the nux vomica
cakes upon his person, had just sought refuge, the Jesuits
closing their doors upon him and ringing the alarm-bell.
Upon the arrival of his Excellency the Captain-General of
Police at this spot, he found that the populace had already
scaled the convent and killed six of the Jesuits, and in the re-
cess of the bolted gate, four others had been also put to death.
Whilst this was passing in this quarter, another party of the
mob had formed together in the quarter of St. Thomas, by
previous arrangement, for an attack also upon the same con-
vent. It was said that the mob were first provoked by a shot
fired from the place against the Captain of the police, which
proved the signal for the insurrection, and that the mob then
assailed the place in a body, forced the doors, and killed their
defenders. The unexpected appearance of the Captain-
General put a stop to further violence, and he left upon the
spot a sufficient guard of military and police to guard against
their renewal.

Inquiries are now going on into all these occurrences, and
it is hoped that in the result the truth will be discovered. It
is a curious circumstance, that owing to this last excitement
the people of Madrid seemed to have forgotten their original
fears as to the fountains having been poisoned.
During the early part of the night attacks were made upon
the convents of St. Francis and La Merced, and some friars
were killed in both places.
At three in tho morning the Captain-General retired, leaving
public tranquillity re-established, and taking measures to pre-
vent similar attacks, which, he was informed, were meditated
against the convents of S. Cayetano, the Trinity, the Carmen,
and Los Basilios, and which, in effect, did not take place.
His Excellency, for greater security, has divided Madrid into
four districts, to which he has allotted separate Chiefs.
Throughout the whole of yesterday the garrison remained
under arms ; a strong force was maintained in each of the
convents ; but nothing occurred again to disturb the public
peace. _ _ _

At six in the evening the troops of the garrison and the
Urban Militia were mustered in the Calle de Aliala, along
which they were drawn up, and where they remain at the mo-
ment we are writing this.

A proclamation —has been issued, in which the people are
warned that the enemies of the Queen are seeking to take ad-
vantage of the panic occasioned by the cholera to carry their
factious purposes into effect, and cautioning them against their
machinations. By the terms of this proclamation are pro-
vided :--.

" Art. 1. All meetings of more than ten persons, of whatever
class or condition, are forbidden in the streets and squares.
" Art. 2. The disseminator of alarming or disquieting news to
be treated and punished as one guilty of sedition.
" Art. 3. All threatening assemblies, and those who refuse to as-
sist in suppressing commotion, are denounced as enemies of the
Queen, and to be treated as rebels.

" Art. 4. Charges the corregidores with the execution of the
decree, which is signed by
" Madrid, July 17, 1834. " The Duke of Goa."
A notice of the disturbances in the capital, of the following
day, says that their origin is a " mystery," but that 20 persons
had been taken up, either with arms in their hands, or sus-
pected, and poisonous matters in their possession. They also
give a different version of the beginning of the disturbance, but
it is confessed to have been traceable amongst the populace to
a notion that the fountains had been poisoned.
Upon the 18th the Queen issued a proclamation counter-
signed by Moscoso, Civil Governor of the province, in which
she deplored the excesses that had been committed, regretted
the people of Madrid allowed themselves to be so much led
astray by vain and irrational fears ; but concludes by assuring
the disturbers that all trespasses upon the public peace will be
punished with a strong and unsparing hand. This is dated
from Madrid, where the Queen would seem to have been on
the 18th.

By another decree, dated from Ildefonso, the 15th of July,
1834, the convent of St. Frances of Abando, of the city of
Bilboa, is dissolved, and its revenues sequestrated ; because of
the aid given by the friars to the Carlists, and their having
actually proclaimed the Pretender.
Her Majesty has ordered 1,000 reals from her private purse
to be applied to the use of the poor lying ill of the cholera.
