more oppertnne when the Chamber came to considert i ,
budget, and to this M. Trueba assented. General Minah
accepted the command of the army, but his health wills)t
yet permit him to mount his horse. The Government has re-
commended him to establish his head-quarters at Pampeluna.
His antagonist, Zumalacarregui, is not to be despised, and
he would be still more redoubtable were he not embarrassed
by the presence of the Pretender, of whom he would be
glad to be rid in an honourable manner, and who must
himself be wearied of living upon the high-road, and some-
times even driven into by-ways. Whatever may be the
success of Mina, Spain must sooner or later come to a com-
promise with the insurgent provinces, or must submit to the
necessity of keeping up a powerful army of occupation.
Perhaps Mina, who must be well acquainted with the dis-
position of the country, will have the good sense to create
among the insurgents a hope that the government will make
some concessions, which several of the members begin to
think will be the most efficacious plan. The Queen, who
is still at the Pardo, is expected here on the Bth. We do
not know whether her Majesty will remain at Madrid, though
it is now perfectly healthy. The new corregidor, the
Marquis desPontajos, has displayed much zeal. He has
already rendered a great service to the capital by interdicting
mendicity. This measure, though long called for, is attended
with great difficulties ; but if, as we have every reason to ex-
pect from the decided character of our new magistrate, it is
persisted in, he will accomplish his object. He has intro-
duced,without opposition, a usage hitherto unknown in Spain,
that of having chairs in the churches, where, hitherto, the
devOut of both sexes have been compelled to remain con-
stantly standing, or to kneel upon mats. The clergy have
several times opposed this change, but have at length
yielded. The produce of the letting of these chairs is ap-
plied towards the support of the House of Refuge for Beg-
gars. A great conspiracy has been discovered, the focus
of which was at Toledo. The intention of it was to raise
an insurrection in all the environs of the capital, in the
name of Charles V., and thus cut it off entirely from all
communication with the rest of the kingdom. A great
many persons have been arrested ; with the exception of a
few ecclesiastics, who are all obscure men. The Carlist or
Absolute party in Spain, like that which in France is called
Legitamist, it worn out and decrepit : it fails equally in its
secret machinations and open forcible attacks. We repeat,
that the example of Navarre and the Basque provinces is
no proof of the contrary. Without that attachment to
their franchises which they expect to preserve under
Charles V., this Prince would not have in that part of the
country a hundred partisans. The bill for the exclusion of
Don Carlos and his descendants for ever from the throne
will be discussed on Monday next in the Chamber of the
Procuradores. It is probable that the question will be de-
cided in one sitting.
A letter from Bayonne, of the 6th inst., states that Se-
gastibelza and Zubiri arrived on the Ist inst. at Aranaz,
with the sth, 6th, and 7th battalions. In the review which
took place it was ascertained that in the action of the Bas-
tan on the 28th ult., the column sustained a loss of 125
men. The wounded which had arrived at Aranaz, in num-
ber 182, were sent in great part to Zugarramurdi, some to
Saldias and Labayen. The columns of Oraa and Lorenzo
entered Estella on the Ist, with seventeen wounded of the
enemy, whom they had taken prisoners. Zumalacarregui
was on the Ist inst. at Circovillas, with four Navarrese bat-
talions and the first of Guipuscoa. On the 3d, two columns
of 5,000 men left Pampeluna. One, under the orders of
General Cordova, took the direction of Lecumberri ; and
the second, commanded by San Juanita, went towards Ul-
zama. The Captain-General, Espeleta, sent an officer of
engineers to Llaba, in the Roncal, to fortify this point, and
he has given orders to Linares to occupy it.
The Indicateur of Bordeaux of the Bth inst. has the fol-
lowing :—" The war appears to remove from our frontiers,
and draw nearer the Ebro. In the former, the inaction pro-
ceeds from the Carlists, who are organizing their bands, and
from Rodil himself, who, being deprived of his command, does
not deem it expedient to risk a battle. The Junta and the
two Carlist battalions are still in the Ancovillas. A small
detachment of the insurgents presented itself on the sth to
Zugarramurdi to protect a convoy of arms, which, after all,
would not reach its destination. The neighbouring villages
have been compelled by the Carlists to provide rations of
all kinds. El Pastor is expected at St. Sebastian, and is
about to clear it of the petty bands which approach that
fortress. In general great apathy is perceived in both
parties. As to Don Carlos, not a syllable is heard of him."
The ItEnzorial Bordelais of the Bth inst. announces, after
accounts of the 2d from Pampeluna, that the cholera has
broken 'out in that city, and of four persons attacked three
have died. The Viceroy, Armildez de Toledo, who was to
have taken the command of the troops till the arrival of
Mina, is at the last extremity. A vague rumour prevails of
two actions having taken place near Pampeluna, and of 25
aristinos having fallen into the hands of the insurgents.
The Augsburg Gazette of the 7th inst. has the following
from Constantinople, of the 16th ult. :—" The plague ap-
pears to have attained its highest point of violence----its de-
vastations are terrific. The Sultan has again received into
favour the former Grand Vizier, Redschid Pasha, who,
after the loss of the battle of Konia, the capital of Cara-
mania, was appointed Governor of Sivas, in Roumelia. A
hundred and twenty families are said to have emigrated
from Samos to Negropont. M. de Ruckman, the Russian
Charge d'Affaires, yesterday had an audience of the Sultan,
previously to his quitting Constantinople, on which occa-
sion his Highness presented him with a snuff-box richly set
in brilliants, and was pleased to express the high satisfac-
tion which he felt at the diplomatic conduct of that gentle-
man. This audience was a mark of distinction which had
never before been granted to a Charge d'Affaires. On the
12th inst. the Princess Saliha, daughter of the Sultan, and
wife of Halil Pasha, invited her father to a splended en-
tertainment at Kandili, a village situated on the Asiatic
coast of the Channel, where Halil Pasha possesses• a fine
estate. Many Greek and Armenian religious communi-
ties, which have long since applied to the Porte for per-
mission to make necessary repairs to their churches and
houses of prayer, have at length obtained a compli-
ance with theii request. The permission has been
accompanied by an intimation not to enlarge the
buildings in question." Thi4 "1„-ournal has the follow-
in.. of the 30th ult., from tie Lake of Geneva :—" The
Italico-Polonese expPl*Pition of the month of February,
against Savoy, has not sufficed for our Radicals. They
now conceive the project of putting themselves in commu-
nication with Lyons and Grenoble, but the police of Ge-
neva keeps a close look-out. The execution of the plan, it
is said, is intended to take place in a neighbouring village."
The same journal has the following accounts from Vienna
of the Ist :—" The return of their Majesties to the capital
has again been postponed until the 6th. The delay is said
to arise from a desire to avoid the numerous presentations
and congratulations to which his Majesty would be exposed
on his fete on the 4th inst., which, for the same reasons, will
be celebrated in another quarter. It is conjectured that
hsi Majesty, on his return, will be accompanied by the
Crown Prince of Bavaria. The Archduke Reynier, Vice-
roy of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, has been here for
several days past with his family. Yesterday evening the
Duchess of Angouleme arrived from Prague, and alighted
at the Imperial palace. According to report, her Royal
Highness will remain until the middle of this month, and
then return to Prague. The Archduke Joseph, Palatine
of Hungary, with his family, is expected here to-morrow.
Yesterday, the infantry regiment, bearing the name of Don
Miguel, Prince Regent of Portugal, came here from Krems
,to relieve the infantry regiment which is named Wasa."
The Funds at Vienna, on the 2d instant, are quoted—Me-
tallies, Five per Cents., 92-1. ; ditto Four per Cents., 90i ;

The Gazette has the following from Nauplia of the 31st
of August :—" On the 25th instant, the fete of King Louis
of Bavaria was celebrated here. On the previous evening
a splendid ball was given by the President of the Regency,
which was honoured by the presence of King Otho. On
the festival-day aTc Deum was performed in the church
of St. George, at which the King, the Regency, and the
diplomatic body were present. By a decree of August 20,
M. Schinas, Secretary of State for the Departments of
Justice, Religion, and Public Instruction, has received his
dismissal. The Department of Justice is confided to
Praides, Nomarch of the Cyclades, and that of Religion
and Public Instruction will be provisionally intrusted to M.
Jacob Riso, the present Minister of Foreign Affairs and of
the King's Household. The Regency has issued several
decrees, tending to make the collection of tithes, less bur-
densome to the people. In Maine disturbautes have en-
tirely ceased, and a general amnesty is about to be pro-
claimed. The troops which were employed in'that district
are now occupied in the suppression of the insurrection in
