Carlos V. received with the resignation and firmness of a
Christian the fatal news of the death of his well-beloved
Spouse. A letter sent from the King's head-quarters gives
the following account of the manner in which that illus-
trious Prince heard the fatal intelligence, which has
plunged him into grief just at the very moment when he
has need of all his courage and energy :—" His Majesty
was at Urbaza, in Navarre, on the 13th inst. After hav-
ing transacted business in the evening with M. Cruz Major,
the King, having remarked hesitation and inquietude in his
manner and countenance, inquired the cause. The faithful
Minister then announced to him the death of the Queen.
Our virtuous King, whose heart is so sensible, bowed his
head in the deepest silence, and soon lifting up to heaven
his eyes, bedewed with tears, he firmly pressed the hand of
M. Mayor, and said, with a thrilling accent, The will of
God be done !' M. Cruz de Mayor states that he was
astonished at his Majesty's strength of mind. His Chris-
tian virtue and resignation could not have been put to more
severe trial, and the consoling expressions of the faithful
Minister had less effect on the unfortunate Prince, than
the sense of duty and the sentiments inspired by religion.
The King,' says M. Mayor in one of his letters, has
been admirable. I daily discover in him new virtues.
This evening (the 15th instant) he is more calm. I hope
that God will not permit this afflicting dispensation to have
,more serious consequences.' On the 15th Carlos V. was
at Munariz, and Zumalacarregui at Santa Cruz de
Campeza. On the 16th the latter rejoined his Majesty
at Munariz. Lorenzo with 6,000 men was at Arzedo."
The operations commenced in Castile have obliged Rodil
precipitately to quit the frontier and proceed to Vittoria.
(From the Indicateur of Bayonne.)

The order issued by Rodil, that all families known for
their opposition to the Queen's Government should quit
the four provinces, is everywhere being carried into execu-
tion. A great number of refugees have arrived at Behobia,
and several of them declare that on the 14th Rodil entered
Vittoria, where he rejoined Lorenzo and Figueras. The
three corps were to proceed to the Borunda. Jauregui was
unwell, and was staying at Villa-Franca. The insurgent
battalions who had gone towards Irun retired to Echalar,
where the President of the Junta, Schavarria, was with a
guard of 200 men. It is not precisely known where Don
Carlos and Zumalacarregui are. The battalions of the lat-
ter having been repulsed when making an attack on To-
loso, proceeded to Elisondo, the garrison of which place
they thought to surprise, but this attempt was not more
fortunate for them than the other. Two Navarrese batta-
lions, after having endeavoured on the 18th to destroy the
new fortifications, retired, leaving several dead and wounded
on the field of battle.

(From the Journal des Debats.
The vote of the Spanish Cortes on the subject of finance
is expected with extreme impatience. The discussion was
to have commenced on the 16th inst. ; it will probably last
several days. The question is one of the gravest import-
ance on which a political assembly can decide. The Cham-
ber does not want for orators, and new deputies, who have
r.9t yet figured in the debates, will have arrived at Madrid
to participate in the discussion. Some of these have the
character of being distinguished orators. We shall soon
know whether the Cortes have placed under the safeguard
of good faith and honour the regeneration of their political
institutions, or whether the desire of innovation, which
presses on them, and perhaps pushes them forward with
too great rapidity, has produced no other discovery than
the short method of getting rid of their debts by denying
them. In this delicate affair, we have endeavoured to keep
our readers equally free from exaggerated fears or hopes.
We have done nothing more than state facts. When the
question appeared hopeless, we said so ; while it was in pro-
gress, we still only stated the fact ; and certainly we should
not have liked to take on ourselves the responsibility of
uttering any prediction in a matter which affects so many
private interests, and which is discussed and decided in the
uncertain arena of a political assembly. Whatever the issue
of the discussion may be, it will not be the less certain that
the Government has warmly and perseveringly espoused the
cause of the French creditors. This is known at Madrid,
and the knowledge of the fact cannot be without influence,
even on the benches of the Procuradores. Still the ques-
tion, at last, depends on a mere division that will decide its
fate.

(From the Courrier Francais.)

Don Carlos is in a state of ill health and discourage-
ment, arising out of fatigue, privations, and disappointment
at his cause making no progress, and that his partisans are
thinking of calling to Spain his eldest son, who is about
17 years of age. Unless the insurgents can make them-
selves masters of a seaport, to introduce supplies sent by
their friends, or can capture the magazines or disarm nu-
merous corps of their adversaries, it is impossible for them
to possess arms and ammunition. A serious embarrass-
ment for the Carlists is the obstinacy of the towns in not
embracing the cause of the Pretender. Their inhabitants
are free from the prejudices of the country people and
mountaineers, and are too discerning not to perceive that
the democratic institutions of the middle ages cannot be
maintained in the heart of Spain, notwithstanding the pro-
mises of Don Carlos. The bands formed in the provinces
contiguous to the insurrection are another cause of embar-
rassment to the Carlist council, for they must be fed,
clothed, and paid. Hence much money is required for
trifling results, and the Carlists are driven to apply again to
the purses from which they have already drawn so much.
This is not the only charge upon the friends of absolutism,
for they will soon have to provide for the ex-King of Por-
tugal, who will certainly receive no more money from Lisbon.

Aspel, a valley of the Lower Pyrenees. Eleven ammuni-
tion-waggons had arrived at Bedou, a small town on the
frontier of Arragon. They were laden with arms and
ammunition for the Queen's troops, and had been conveyed
by a detachment of the sth company of the Artillery Train.
The arms and ammunition came from the arsenal of Bay-
onne, and it was announced that the Governor of Jacca had
delegated a superior officer to receive them. No suspicion
existed that the introduction of arms forwarded by the
French Government to its ally could meet with any impe-
diment on the part of the Custom=house. Yet, when the mili-
tary officer presented himself to take possession of them, the
Customs refused to deliver them, and called upon the Com-
mandant of the battalion of the 9th regiment for his support.

'Th
e Augsburg Gazette of the 19th inst. contains the fol-
lowing from Constantinople of the 26th ult.:--" Osman
Bey has been appointed superintendent of the arsenal. The
plague, which had been more destructive than for many
years past, seems now again on the decrease. The Turks
are beginning to lose their prejudices with respect to sana-
tory precautions. They have recourse to European fumi-
gation, which formerly they despised. The practice is
adopted, at least by the higher circles, and most of the mi-
nisters of the Porte. The number of victims has been be-
tween 300 and 400 daily,"
The Caurrier de l'here has the following :—" The re-
fugees remaining in Switzerland—and more particularly
those at Geneva—are again putting themselves into an at-
titude of hostility towards the neighbouring States, and
the Federal Government finds itself compelled to take de-
cisive measures against them. Those movements explain the
late unusual arrivals and departures of so many foreigners."
The Chamber of Commerce of Bayonne has published a
communication from the Director of the Customs, explain-
ing the extent of the prohibition against exporting to Spain
arms, ammunition, and warlike stores for the insurgents if
that cotitfy, upon whichdoubts and difficulties haui arisen,
and become embarrassing to the general commerce with
that country. The prohibition in question is explained to
extend only to arms, ammunition, and warlike stores, such
as saltpetre, gunpowder, balls, and bullets, and military
rg, which are absolutely forbidden to be sent over the
