Rodil appears desirous of stayingin the Bastan, until the
points which he is causing to be fortified there shall be in
such a defensive state as will permit him, after leaving in
them garrisons to protect themselves, to withdraw: The
despatch of to-day, announcing that he is alsti causing
St. Esteban to be fortified, confirms what .we said yes-
terday respecting the military importance of this place, and
the advantage of intrenching it like Urdach and Elisondo.
Iriruta, which is likewise being fortified, is distant two hours'
march to the south of Elisondo, on the road to Pampeluna.
In consequence of these measures, the Carlists will be pre-
vented from establishing themselves in any permanent way
in the Bastan, and from venturing on even occasional expe-
ditions, without finding themselves in a dangerous position
between the garrisons and the moveable columns. In our
article of the sth of this month we admitted the probability
of a surprise effected by Zumalacarregui on the 19th of
August in the Amescoas, near Larrion, against Generals
Carondelet Auleo, &c. We publish to-day, under the
head of news from Spain, the Carlist General's bulletin re-
specting this affair, which we had not questioned, but which
the Carlist journals, with the usual good faith, had repre-
sented as an important victory. In spite of the verbose
description contained in the bulletin, it is easy to perceive
that the Queen's troops, marching along a road lying be-
tween a river on one side and rocks on the other, were con-
sequently obliged to form a very lengthened column, having
no consistency. In this • state they were assailed by two
ambuscades placed by the side of the road, before they had
time to form in order of battle, and it appears that Zuma-
lacarregui, after pillaging their baggage, lost no time in re-
gaining the summit of the mountains.

We have this instant received news of the highest im-
portance from Spain. Two battalions of the insurgents of
Guipuscoa have just dissolved and disbanded themselves
near Aspeitia, and have returned to their homes. The
sufferings and fatigue which they have undergone in their
last campaign in Navarre have completely demoralized
them. They could get nothing-else-to eat an to drink but
potatoes and water. Their Commander-in-CliV, Guibel-
dilda, used incredible efforts to keep them`together until the
16th, the day on which it was presumed that the predictions
of success to the cause of Don Carlos would be realized.
His endeavours were et=iwever, unavailinc, ; and after what
has occurred, he cannot, calculate .on their reorganization.
An individual who has just arrived at this town (Bayonne),
and who has seen the men belonging to the dissolved batta-
lions, assures us that they were in most miserable condi-
tion, being completely worn out by .fatigue and half naked.
Forty of them have presented themselves at Aya, 30. at
Juvaud, and six at Orio, villages lying, about three
leagues from St. Sebastian, towards the eastern coast.
At the present moment a brisk firing in the direction' of
Aspeitia is heard. Lorenzo, who was at. Onate with 7,000
men, has doubtless fallen on the rebels. - Everything an-
nounces an early and complete dissolution of the whole rebel
force of the Guipuscoa. Rodil has compelled the convent of
Roncesvalles to furnish, in the space of 20 days, 20,000
pairs of shoes. In the same commune, a parsonage 'has
been set on fire by the Queen's troops. The Carlists have
made a movement in Murcia, but their plans have been
defeated. At Salamanca a conspiracy has been discovered ;
several persons have been arrested, of whom 20 have been
exiled. Ildefonso Bruno, Lieutenant-Colonel .of Don
Carlos's Hussars, taken prisoner at Cebaleda on the 15th,
was immediately shot. We are informed by a letter dated
Aldudes the 31st of August, that the Queen's troops oc-
cupied on the night of the day before yesterday Ronces-
valles, Burguetta, and all the villages in the vallies of 'Erro
and Arcibar. Notwithstanding all these dispositions on the
part of Rodil and Jauregui, Don Carlos, who on the morn-
ing of the day before yesterday made a feint of proceeding
towards the valley of Roncal, was so well served by his
guides and his spies, that he yesterday traversed the valley
of Arcibar, and passed by Engui (Estiribar), where he even
stopped an hour, gained the Bastan. He was accom-
panied by the Bragadier Eraso, Colonel Ibarrola, and
Lieut.-Colonel Juan Bernardo Zubiri, and by 50 horsemen.

Extract of a letter of the 3d instant from Bayonne :-
6' Within these few days upwards of 300 of the Navarrese
Carlists have deserted, and several of them have gone to
Pampeluna. We received a letter yesterday from St. Se-
bastian, stating that two battalions of the insurgents of
Guipuscoa have dissolved themselves and joined the Queen's
troops. They have been driven to this by the extreme
fatigues and privations they have had to undergo. Their
chiefs did every thing in their power to retain,them, assur-
ing them that by the 16th of this month they would be in
the midst of abundance. When the mail was coining away
a brisk firing was heard in the direction of Aspeitia, and it
was believed that General Lorenzo was engaged with the
rebels. It is confidently believed that the Carlists will to
very shortly annihilated, but we must still have a .little
patience before we can give ourselves up to such hopes.
General Mina has been confined to his bed for the last
three days, •frorn a return of the complaint with winch he
was attacked at London. His, physicians, however, hope
that his illness will not .be of long duration. Colonel
Caradoc is still at Baponne."
The Memorial Bordellos gives the following from Ma-
drid :—" The cholera has nearly ceased its ravages here,
but Andalusia still suffers. It is said that the Northern
Powers are about to open a conference in London, to pro-
toeolize the affairs of the Peninsula. A Carlist conspiracy
has just been discovered at Seville. Several arrests have
taken place, and •ammunition has been found in the Arch-
bishop's palace. The Carlists, who resort to every means
of promoting the fanaticism of the lower orders, p:oeagated
the report that the Virgin del Pilar had appeared on a little
hill without the city, near the gate of Toledo. So ne cre-
dulous personc, ant e pecially the old women, laving pro-
ceeded to the place in question without being able to dis-
cover the Virgin, were informed that she appeared only to
the children. . The crowd at length became so great as to
require the police for its dispersion."
Extract of a letter from Madrid of the 27th ult. A
report of a change in the Ministry is prevalent among the
PrOcuradores. It is said that Arguelles will take the Fo-
reign Department, Calatrava will become Minister of Grace
and Justice, Garcia Herreros will go to the Interior, and
Valdez to the War Department. Toreno and Figueroa
will remain in office. The committee named to examine

the Criminal Code presented by the Minister of Justice is
dissolved. The Minister Garelli is going to present a me-
moir to the Estamento of the Proceres, in which he de-
clares he took no part in the formation of the Criminal
Code, and that it is not in conformity with his sentiments.
Regulations are being made respecting the Urban Militia.
•

It is asserted that the officers, up to the rank of captain in-
clusive, will be named by the companies, but that the Go-
vernment will afterwards make its selection from the persons
so named. The Carlists have attempted insurrections in La
Mancha, at Murcia, and at Salamanca, but they were stifled
in embryo, and many persons were arrested. Twenty were
exiledlrnm the latter place. By a Royal decree the cho-
lera is declared non-contagious, and communications are
re-established. General Valdez has been attacked by this
disease at Valencia. It appears that Moscoso, Minister
of the Interior, is des-rous of authorizing, by a Royal
decree, the toleration of women of the town by subjecting
these ladies to a sanatory police, as in France, and also to
licenses. This will effect a revolution in Spanish manners.
A strong religious prejudice exists in the Peninsula against
this species of traffic ; hence the women have received the
name of las Moscosas,' from the Ministerial inventor of the
law. This gentleman has hit upon a happy expedient to
transmit his name to posterity."
The Narrator, a Swiss journal, of the 2d inst. contains
the following :—" We_ learn that the Emperor of Austria
has remonstrated with the Government of Berne respecting

the manoeuvres of workmen who have organized clubs in
that city. The Government has referred the Ambassador
to the Directory."
The Helvetic Diet, in its sitting of the 29th ult., re-
ceived the report of the committee charged to examine the
expediency of the negotiations about to be opened with
Baden, Wurtemberg, and Bavaria, relative to treaties of
commerce. The committee thinks that the Directory
should be authorized to open the negotiations, leaving the
ratification to the Diet. This proposition was unanimously
adopted. The report of the committee will be communi-
cated to the States.

The Augsburg Gazette of the 4th instant quotes the
Funds at Vienna on the 30th ult., 5 Per Cent. Metal-
liques, 98 13-16 ; 4 Per Cent. ditto, 88i ; Bank Ac-
tions, 1,2371.
The King of Wurtemberg returned to Stuttgard on the
2d instant, from his visit to Italy.

Accounts of the 30th ult. from Dresden state that the
Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have paid a visit to the
Court of Saxony, for the purpose of offering their congra-
tulations on the happy delivery of the Crown Princess,
after which they set out on their return to Hanover by
Leipsic. On the 25th they partook of a collation with his
Majesty, at his summer residence at Pilnitz.
A letter of the 3d inst. from- Frankfort says—"
General
Piret this morning delivered up the command of the Aus-
trian and Prussian troops at Frankfort and in the environs
to Major the Baron de Vissiak. As early, as 7 o'clock the
different regiments, as well as the troops in the pay of the
town, marched with their colours flying and bands playing
to the parade ground outside the town, called the Grind-
s, who then filed
brunnen. After having passed them all in review, the Ge-
neral delivered an address, thanking the officers and prais-
ing the men for their discipline and good conduct, and then
presented to them the Baron as his successor. Provisions
