_S'~',~,

same day the Royalist, Lieutenant Williams pro-
ceeded for Lagos Bay. The Asia, 84, Revenge, 78,
Donegal, 78, Castor, 36, African steamer, and Pan-
taloon brig, were lying in the Tagus. The Stag,
46, Nimrod, 20, and Viper, 6, were at Oporto.
Lieutenant the Hon. K. Stuart, who was proceed-
ing to join the Stag at Oporto, but who could not
be landed from the state of the weather, and
Messrs. Fuge and Spear, Midshipmen, came home
in the Nautilus, which arrived here on Tuesday, and
proceeded the next day for Portsmouth to be paid off.
Considerable activity may be observed in our
naval yards at the present moment. The Rodney,
92, is-to he commissioned at this per!, and we bear
that the Hon. Captain Percy, of the Malabar-, is to
have the command, Captain Wise retaining the
Thunderer, 84, now fitting at Portsmouth. It is
also understood that the First Lieutenant (Jellede)
of the Malabar will go with Captain Percy into the
Rodney. The Edinburgh, 74, will be commissioned
in a day or two at Portsmouth. The following
officers are appointed to this ship :—Captain James
Richard Dacrea, Commander W. P. Stanley ; Lieu-
tenants F. Blair, H. B. Young, and J. C.M. Airgy ;
Mr. W. A. Bates, Surgeon ; Dr. T. D. Dunn and
Mr. W. B. Dolling, Assistant Surgeons.
His Majesty's ship Rattlesnake, 28, Captain C.
Graham, arrived on Tuesday from South America
with a freight of specie and bullion to the estimated
value of 400,0001. sterling, wholly on merchants'
account. She left Guaymas, in the Gulf of Cali-
fornia, on the 21st February last ; San Blas, on the
west coast of Mexico, the 211 April ; Valparaiso
19th, and Coquimbo 29th June; and, finally, Rio
tie Janeiro on the 4th September. The Dublin, 52,
Captain Lord J. Townshend, and Tyne, 28, Capt.
C. Hope, were left at Coquimbo ; the first was
going to Callao, and the latter to the intermediate
ports. At Rio Janeiro the Spartiate, with the flag
of Rear-Admiral Sir M. Seymour, the Snake, 16,
Captain Robertson (going to the Rio Plata), with
the two schooner packets, Horner, Lieutenant
Coghlan, and Cockatrice, Lieutenant Rees, were
lying; the latter was getting under weigh with the
mail for Buenos Ayres. The Satellite, 18, Captain
Smart, had gone to Bahia to relieve the Algerine,
the Hon. Captain De Roos, which was about to
return to England. The Samarang, 28, Captain
C. Paget, and Pylades, 18, Captain Blanckley,
had sailed for the Pacific. The Lapwing
packet, Lieutenant Forster, arrived on the Ist
of September from England. There were four
Brazilian frigates and a corvette lying at Rio, but
two only were to proceed to sea, to enable them to
do which they would be obliged to take the men
from the others; volunteers they could not obtain.
A French corvette, the Victorieuse, was also at Rio.
The Favourite, and the Aigle troop-ship, with ar-
tillery and stores (also French), sailed on the same
day, the former round Cape Horn, and the latter
for Bourbon. An American corvette sailed from
Rio the same day for America, leaving the Lex-
ington corvette and a host of American merchant-
ships, which appear to have an immense trade in
that quarter. The Rattlesnake brings invalids from
the ships on the station. The passengers by her
are Captain Thomas Hurdle, R. M. ; Lieutenant
John S. Ellman, R.N. ; and Thomas Crooke, Esq.,
of Liverpool, from Valparaiso. Everything at
Rio was perfectly quiet, and in an improving state ;
the young Emperor and his sister were in good
health. The Rattlesnake has experienced much
had weather, and on Saturday last, off Scilly,
she encountered for several hours a perfect hurricane
at W.N.W. Several large tribes of aboriginal natives
were in the neighbourhood of Guyrnas, who
were armed with bows and arrows, but they had
neither tomahawks or scalping knives, and are
therefore a very different race of men from the
Indians of the back settlements of the United States;
they are, however, a floe inoffensive race, and wear
little or no clothing. Both Peru and Chili were
perfectly quiet in their respective Governments, and
the consequence was that trade was considerably
increased, and in none of the ports of the Pacific
4t--s - • •-•10- bsavv stocks of Enulishl
manufacture, but there was a fair increasing sale I
for every cargo; still the impositions of the Cus-
toms were uncertain, and the Governments threw
obstacles in the way at the Mints, to prevent the
exportation of treasure, though all the mines in
America were gradually increasing in their produc-
tion of silver and platina. These two points should
be seen to by our Consulates on the spot, and some
fixed principle to he adhered to should be insisted
upon. The Rattlesnake comes into harbour on
Thursday to be paid off.—Hampshire Telegraph.

FRENCH PAPERS.

The Alinisterral Evening Journal gives the following,
which Government has received by telegraph :
" They write from Madrid that the Royalist volunteers
were disarmed on the 27th October. Some resistance
was attempted, but it was overcome by superior force.
The whole population shows the utre,st enthusiasm in
savour of the Queen, and the most perfect calm pervades
:he capital of the Peninsula. Our accounts from the iron.
tier contain no new facts."
Extract of a letter, of the 25th ult., from Bordeaux :
" The nearer one approaches the frontier of Spai. the
greater is the uncertainty as to the real state of that coun-
try. The following, however, is the most recent news,
brought by travellers from Bayonne, or rather from Iran,
or St. Sebastian, for it has become impossible to penetrate
farther on the direct road to Bayonne. Gen. Saarsfield has
arrived at Burgos with upwards of 7,000 men. I have seen
the (letails of the regiments he has with him. There are about
500 cavalry and 12 guns. He has divided his force into two
columns, in order to surround the insurgents. The advan-
tage gained by El Pastor and his brave volunteers over a
superior number of the enemy is a happy omen for the
' success of the campaign. The insurrection makes little
progress. Navarre remains tranquil, notwithstanding the
attempts made to excise it to rebel. As to the South,
nothing has arrived to confirm the strange accounts given
by some private letters of Don Carlos having arrived at
Cordova, and having been proclaimed King. It is to be
hoped that, ere long, the high road to Vittoria will be
cleared of the insurgents by the Royal troops, and that
the mails and diligences will have a free passage. The
above is a portion of the accounts we have received :
all uncertain as they are, they are not less so than the
state of the public mind in this part of the country,
where every opinion is inflamed, every party a faction,
and every profession of political faith a revolt. The
language, however, of some Spaniards who have
passed the Pyrenees recently, has given us some
insight into one circumstance—the question has riot
yet been distinctly put between the two parties
that divide Spain—the Absolutists and the Constitu-
tionalists. The latter keep themselves completely reserved
and retain a gloomy mistrust ; they are, however, ready
to joi❑ the Queen's cause as soon as they receive sufficient
guarantees. They have been sorely galled by the Queen's
manifesto, and the continuance of M. Zee Bermudez in
power. The Queen, guided by bad counsel, has attempted
to preserve a juste milieu between the two parties, a line
that is not suited to the ardent passions of Spain. She
has sought to form, by means of address and half
measures, a party, purely Royalist, holding a medium
of half measures, relying with timidity on the Constitu-
tionalists without provoking much the Carlists. It is,
no doubt, to M. Zea that is owing this unfortunate policy,
so little adapted to the wants and habits of Spain. To this
must be attributed the tardiness of the measures taken
to crush the revolt, which might have been stifled at its
birth. But that which will probably excite your asto-
nishment, but which is stated here as a positive fact is,
that M. Aligner, who Las just passed through the town,
was charged to promise the Queen the support of France
on three conditions—the maintenance of M. Zea in place
—no Constitution—no liberty of the press; As I still
remain at such a distance from the scene of events, it is
impossible to form any decided judgment upon the line of
conduct adopted by the Regent. But, certainly, notwith-
standing the management required by the ill-informed
condition of the public mind in Spain, and the ancient
prejudices so deeply rooted in this tenacious soil—these
are strange instructions to come from a representative of
France of July."
We take the following from the Garde Nationale of
Marseilles of the 27th ult.:—" We have received intelli-
gence from Malaga, dated the 16th—' The Queen has been
acknowledged without opposition.' "
COMBINATION OF WORKMEN IN PARIS.—A sp.rit
of combination is now gaining upon almost all the trades
throughout France, and it threatens almost all descriptions
of manufactures with a stand-still. At the present mo-
ment the trade that most suffers from it, chiefly in Paris,
is the clothing trade. All the journeymen tailors have
ceased to work, and not a new pair of breeches is to be had
at any price so long as the terms they require are not
complied with. They ask, of course, for an increase of
wages, and they insist on a diminution of two hours on
site time of labour. The master taiiora have held several
consultations together, but nothing has been decided by
them as to the course which ought to be pursued, and the
probability is that one after the other will quietly submit
o the terms of the workmen. The latter are meanwhile
iupported by a fund which bad been maintained by them

Another trade, that of the bakers, begins to feel the
effects of the combination system. That is rather more
serious, as it may really throw the whole population of the
capital into great inconvenience should any time be suffered
to elapse before an understanding takes place. Some of
the journeymen bakers require an increase of wages, and
a diminution in the hours of labour. No trade, however,
is better able to comply with the terms than the master
bakers in Paris, and, if their workmen insist, they will,
probably, in no instance fail to gain their point. The
combination in that trade, however, is yet by no means
general ; but there is every appearance that it will soon
become so.

(From Galignani's Messenger of Saturday.)
The lndicateur of Bordeaux, on the 30th ult., has the
following:—" The Government of July is reaping the
fruits of its imprudent weakness. The Duchess of Berry,
whom the Ministry withdrew from the pale of the laws,
entertains none of those feelings which produced their
violation, and threatens again to disturb France, by land-
ing in the south. We have received the following from
Pau Our Prefect has just received a despatch from
the Minister of the Interior, announcing that Caroline de
Berry, Clouct, Larochejacquelin, atul several other officers,
who have recently left Portugal, intend to land in the
environs f Bayonne, and thence reach the south by cross-
ing the department of the Basses Pyrenees! Immediately
on receiving this information, orders were given for
watching closely the whole boundary, and for the pass-
ports of all travellers to be examined with the most scru-
pulous attention.'"
The Memorial Bordelais of the 30th ult, has the
following, of the 28th, from Bayonne :—" A singular
circumstance occurred here yesterday; a Neapolitan
courier passed through this town to Madrid, but he went
no further than Irun, where, fearing he should he arrested,
he turned back. I saw him alight at the residence of his
Consul. The despatches he bore were of such a nature
that he feared he should be put to death if he fell into the
hands of the insurgents; he is still here, waiting till the
roads are more secure. We have no positive news from
Spain, but a simultaneous attack at the different points on
Vittoria by Generals Saarsfeld, Wall, and Castagnan, was
spoken of to day." The following from Sr. Sebastian is
of the 27th ult.:—" Several families have arrived here as
emigrants faom Toloso. The fear of being surprised
during the absence of Castagnon, who has taken the entire
garrison with him, is the cause of the emigrations. P.S.
The Constitutionalists of Laredo, Sultana, and Santander
united, have completely beaten the Biscayans. They
have taken twenty-five prisoners who were to have
been shot, at the departure of the express. These de-
clared that they had been deceived and led away by
their leaders, who had promised only to keep them a week
under arms. They were all body guards and priests."
We have this evening received a despatch, the tenor of
which confirms the postscript of our St. Sebastian cor-
respondent, and gives the following further intelligence :
" The Carlist Biscayans were beaten at Limpias, by the
garrison of Santana ; General Saarsfidd, who has com-
pletely beaten the priest Merino, and the other Carlist
hands which he found in his way, arrived on the 27th at
Mirando, and marched thence upon Vittoria and Bilboa."
The Memorial has, in a supplement, the following letter,
dated Bayonne, the 28th ult., seven o'clock p.m.:—" A
letter arrived this evening affords the following news
The insurgents of the province of Alava and the environs,
who had advanced some leagues from Bingos, have just
retreated in disorder to Miranda. It is not yet known if
this precipitate retreat be the result of an engagement
which the insurgents bad had with the troops of General
Saarslield, or whether it be the effect of a sudden panic,
excited by the approach of well-organised troops.
s, 10 O'CLOCK, r.m.—The Captain-General of the
province of Guipuscoa has caused an announcement to be
made that General Saarsfield had entered Vittoria at the

head of 9,000 men. The insurgents did not expect so
considerable a force, and retreated in all directions. As
soon aq thil news was known at 1 T 0.040, the troops which
were assembled there fell upon liergara. Col. POW!' has
occupied Arpeitia."
The Journal de Perpignan says—" We can alr" IY
reckon several companies of militia raised for the serviceF of
the Queen, within a short distance from this frontier.
There is one at Lajunguera, two at cadaques, one at
Masionet, and seven at Figueiras."
