this will be again the case in regard to the declaration of •
Don Carlos, now given by the Gazette. There is much
greater reason to believe that the party by whom Don
Carlos is supported in Spain only sees in him an absolute
king, et rey neto, a title by which he saluted his brother on
the latter's return from Cadiz to Madrid, escorted by
100,000 French bayonets. If we were bound to
.suppose
that it is seriously the intention of Carlos to assemble the
Cortes and ,to restore the ancient national liberties, what
other conclusion should we have to draw than that Spain
no longer accommodate herself with any other regime
than a representative one And what would become of
Don Carlos under such a regime Y_ Let, the ,Gazette bo
persuatled of this—Don Carlos of Spain would no more
understand a restoration on such terms than did old Charles
X. ; and, whatever may be said, absolutism will never
' reform' itseif•

A letter of ;the 25th instant from Bayonne says—
' It is reported that., a terrible battle took place on the 22d,
on the borders of 016 sea, near Liquietio, between one of
the principal columns ijt the army of General Rodil and El
Pastor and the Carlis&_. of Biscay.., The Queen's troops
drove their enemies to tke water's edge, and there cut
them to pieces. The rebels, lost 2,000 men in killed and
wounded. Amongst them ‘Tete several chiefs, capuchins,
and other ecclesiastics, and Jbo,ut 500 men threw them-
selves into the sea rather than surrender. However,
neither our authorities nor the Spni,ish Consul have re-
ceived anv official account of this confli&' The Bayonne
journal of the 26th inst. makes no mention 64 the encounter.
The Sentinelle des Pyrenees of Bordeaux of the 26th
inst. contains the following :—‘ Letters from Madrid Of
the 19th speak of the diminution of cholera. Oh. that day
only 19 persons died of it ; on the other hand, putrid fever
and pulmonic complaints prevail. Letters from Granoa of
the Bth speak of the cessation of the cholera in that town.
At Siguenza, all the young men are enrolled among the insur-
gents ; the married men alone remain behind. At Liquietio
the Carlists have fortified themselves with two four-pounders,..'
The mercantile house of Jaen, at Pampeluna, whose princi-
pal has taken refuge in France, has declared its insolvency.
At Bilboa one Vallo has failed for 2,500,000 reals. A
person arriving from St. Sebastian relates most sinister
events. He asserts that the troops of the Queen have, at
Segura, set fire to five houses or farms belonging to .M.
Lardizabel, who, with his family, has taken refuge at Biy-
onne. He also confirms the news of the burning of the
house belonging to the Marquis Valdespina. The Carlist
faction, on the other hand, headed by Lavale and Iturizi,
have burnt the iron-works near Egbar and Tolosa. The
fury of the party, however lamentable, is not to be won-
dered at, but we are at a loss to conceive bow the servants
of government can be guilty of like excesses. The cause
of the firing of the convent of Aranzazu is,—Rodil having
summoned the monks to give up Don Carlos, who is sup-
posed to have taken refuge there, received au unsatisfactory
reply. Orders were then given to burn it to the ground.'
" The French Ambassador in Switzerland has announced
to the Vorort, in a letter to be communicated.to the canes
tons, that the reductions of custom duties in favour 'of
Switzerland having received the definitive approval of the
Minister of the Finances, are now in vigour. They do not,
however, apply to the commerce of cattle.

" Extract of a letter of the 24th inst. ,from Berne :-
4 The second detachment of the Neufchatel troops arrived
yesterday at Thoune, and must have felt, by the reception
they met with on their passage, bow great is the general
antipathy to their Prussian colours. At Arberg. they were
refused quarters, and in the capital the manifestation of the
sentiments of the people was equally strong. They were
received on their way with cries of A bar ks Prussiens, and
a troop of students followed them with hisses and hootings
to the entrance of the town. The militia themselves were
unable to suppress their sentiments, but the loudest ,explo-
sion came from the Bernese detachment, and the conse
quences would probably have been very serious but for the
interference of Colonel Vogelsang, of Soleure, who fortu-
nately was present, and succeeded in producing tranquillity
by his conciliating language. We have this moment learned
that the Government of Berne has, through its representa-
tive at the Diet, required that the men of Neufchatel may
be forbidden to wear the Prussian medal while they are in
the service of the Confederation.'

" The Helvetic states that a company of Swiss Cara-
bineers, on its arrival at Baden, having learned that Prince
Louis Napoleon, who is a citizen of Thurgau, was lodging
at an inn in that town, proceeded thither with flying banners,
and on their arrival sung a patriotic song, after which they
complimented him on his patriotic sentiments. The Prince,
after assuring the company of his esteem, said, ' I should
not be a Napoleon if I did not love liberty.'
" The Augsburg Gazette, of the 26th instant, quotes the
funds at Vienna on the 21st, 5 per Cent. Metalliques, 981 ;
4 per Cent. ditto, 881 ; Bank Actions, 1,236.
" The Berlin State Gazette, of the 23d instant, quotes
the Prussian funds, 4 per Cents., cash 99, paper 99f.
" The Cologne Gazette positively asserts that no conven-
tion whatever has been made at Bieberich with the Duke
of Nassau." •

The Indicatcur of Bordeaux of the 26th ult., received
by express, contains the following :—" The disembarkation
of arms from Dutch ships having been rendered impfacti-
cable by the blockade of the coast of Biscay, the insur-
gents who bad quitted Navarre for the purpose of aiding
this measure, have been obliged to return to their former
positions. They are again in the vicinity of our frontier,
in hopes of being able to obtain power, arms, and provi-
sions. Zumalacarregui, despairing of his cause, had joined
Don Carlos ; and, having concentrated all his disposable
forces, had manifested an intention of risking battle before
the arrival of reinforcements from Burgos ; but either from
an apprehension of failure, or from his plans having been
thwarted by the manoeuvres of the Queen's Generals, the
Carlist chief is again cut off from the principal part of
his partisans. On the 22d, far from taking offensive mea-
sures, he was in flight towards Aoiz, pursued by Lorenzo,
who was in tolerable force near Pampeluna. Subsequently,
in order to avoid a new attack, he took a rapid course to Lum-
bier, on the frontier of Arragon, where he is now presumed to
be with seven dispirited battalions, On the evening of the
22d Rodil passed Tolosa in pursuit of Don Carlos, who had
arrived in the night at St. Estevan, whence Iriarte must have
dislodged him in the morning. In consequence of this move-
ment Rodil has once more penetrated into Bastan. His
advanced guard, on arriving at Elisondo, again put the
Carlist junta to flight. Terror is at its height in the valley,.
Notwithstanding the utmost vigilance, it is said that horses
and muskets find their way to the insurgents. The quan-
tity, however, is not of sufficient magnitude to save them
from inevitable defeat." This Journal also gives the fol.
lowing extract of a letter from Bayonne of the 24th I—
" A battle took place on the 19th, at Larrion, between the
Queen's troops and those of
hZeumcaalraicisatrsrehgauvie conveyed to. The issue
was not known. but Brigadier Herranz was killed. and the
Count de Via-Manuel, a Spanish Grandee, was taken
prisoner by the insurgents. The
Lumbier a great quantity of rations, under escort of four
companies of the 7th battalion. The celebrated Convent
of Aranzazu was set on fire. The church, the vestry, the
library, and the hospital, became a prey to the flames. It
was a column of pesetcros who set fire to it."
Extract of a letter of the 24th ult. from Bayonne :--
Notwithstanding the active vigilance of the French autho-
rities, the insurgents have contrived to arm and send into
