The Indicateur of Bm drntix of the Ist inst. has
- •he following letter, dated Thyonne, Oct. 30:-" I
thought I should have been able to confirm the news
of the entrance into Vittoria of the troops under
the command of General Saarsfield; although this
iewsdidn
how
many d

premature; not
have received had the fact been certain ! In re-
flecting on the march of the troops, and in sup-
oosing that they did not find any enemy to face
them, the most probable supposition was that this
corps could not effect its junction with the troops
hat were awaiting it at Burgos until the 24th or
25th. It was therefore impossible that it could
reach Vittoria until the 27th. Everything, how-
ever, leads to the belief that at this moment, if it
has not gained the Ebro, it must be very near it.
Yesterday, at five o'clock p.m., a courier with letters
from the interior of Spain arrived from Iron at our
post-office, despatched by the post-master of that
town ; six packets were for Bayonne, and one for
Paris. The sorting them occupied some time, and
it was, consequently, late before they were distri-
buted; all I could learn was that there were letters
from Madrid up to the 29th. One, among others,
it is said, states that great changes are about to
take place in all the branches of the administration ;
doubtless, the removal from office of all persons
known for their attachment to Don Carlos. Per-
haps, if the fact be true, the Government is too hasty
:it effecting this reform ; it is not among the clerks
that are to be found the principal obstacles to
those ameliorations which are necessary in Spain-
the real enemy is the clergy. It is asked, how was
it possible to collect together all the letters th it
have arrived to-day ? No one knows ; some said
that they came by the direct road, and that, conse-
quently, Vittoria was in possession of the Queen's
troops. It appears more probable that this cor-
respondence came by way of Saragossa, Navarre,
and Iron."
The Memorial Bordelais, of the lst inst., con-
tains the following :-" A letter from Bayonne, of
he 30th ult., says-i We learn from Spain that the
priest Merino has appeared at Segovia, and there
issued a decree, denouncing the penalty of death
against every Royalist Volunteer who may join the
Queen's troops. A decree was published in the
Madrid Gazette of the 24th, which suppresses the
tax for the support of the Royalist Volunteers. It
is also said that her Majesty has declared valid
the purchases of entailed estates made in virtue of
the Cortes which were abrogated by King Ferdi-
nand. Lastly, the Queen has so completely gene-
ralized the amnesty, that the 30 deputies of the
Cortes who were excepted are now included in it.'
Ano:her letter from Bayonne, of the same date, says
-` The entrance of General Saarsfield into Vittoria
is doubted by persons generally well informed; the
account is, however, confirmed by two or three let-
ters. Every one amuses himself by telling news,
but it is impossible to ascertain its correctness. \lre
learn from Pampeluna that a column of 800 men, sent
in pursuit of the rebels, entered Logrono on the 26. h
with another column under the command of Colonel
Figueres, and will there wait the orders of General
Saarsfield. The Carlists are so closely pressed in
this part of the country, that they are wandering
about in very small bands without any leaders of
note, except the Priest of Araquil and two other
ecclesiastics. At Pampeluna they are forming a corps
of the inhabitants of the surrounding country, who
have amongst them 40 horses. At Tarragona, Borja,
and Calatayud, the Carlists have been disarmed
without any obstacle.'"
Accounts from Boulogne mention a curious con-
test which has taken place at that port between the
authorities there and the captain of an English
vessel, the Thetis. It appears the vessel in ques-
tion arrived on the 18th, with 28 individuals on
board, who state themselves to be disbanded soldiers,
late in the service of Don Pedro; of these only
eight are Frenchmen, the rest Prussians, Hanove-
rians, and Dutchmen. The eight were of c,-arrse,
admitted at once, as being entitled by birth to an
asylum on the French soil; but the remaining 20
gave rise to a more puzzling question, and as the in-
structions of Government are positive in prohibiting
the admission into France of all foreigners (except..
ing political refugees) without the necessary papers,
&c., in order to prevent the admission of vagabonds,
without any apparent means of livelihood, on the
French territory, the authorities refused to receive
them, and insisted upon the captain of the Thetis re-
conveying the rest of his illustrious cargo elsewhere.
The captain, however, pleads his engagement, which
was only to convey them to Boulogne, and declares
he will not remove them thence. (It appears that
they were embarked on board his vessel in Eng-
land, having previously arrived from Portugal.) The
vessel still remains in the port, and the authorities
daily send rations on board for the rejected. The
British Consul maintains the right of the captain
to pursue his present line of conduct; but the An-
notateur of Boulogne, in giving the facts, comments
strongly on the abuse of the generous hospitality of
France attempted by this singular manoeuvre.

The Madrid Gazette of Oct. 27, says," The Queen
Regent, unwilling that the malevolent instigators of
the enemies of her august daughter, who are also
the enemies of the public tranquillity, should continue
to excite the insubordination of the Royalist Vo-
lunteers, or even to stir them up to make an ill use
of the arms which have been intrusted to them to
insure the repose of the nation, as it has happened
in the provinces of Biscay, Alava, and some districts
of Old Castile, commanded the Minister of War to
issue the orders necessary for collecting and placing
in depot the arms of the corps of Royalist Volun-
teers. In execution of these orders, the Captain-
General of Madrid caused to be delivered to the
Direction-General of the Artillery the arms belong-
inic to the Volunteers of this city, without meeting
with any opposition. There was no reason to be-
lieve any more that there would be any opposition
to the delivery up of the arms of the infantry of
these corps. But a germ of resistance on the part
of a small number of Volunteers assembled in their
quarters rendered it necessary to call out the military
force, without any other disasters resulting from this
movement than two or three killed, and five or six
wounded. The gates of the quarters of the Volun-
teers were immediately opened, and a detachment
of troops, under the command of Brigadier Don
Pedro Nolasco Basset, accompanied by the Director-
General of Police, took possession of them, after
having made prisoners of upwards of 100 Volunteers
who were found there. In consequence, and in
pursuance of an edict of the Corregidor, the arms
were delivered up in succession. This evening a
great quantity has already been collected, and the
rest continued to be received without any sign of
resistance. The excellent discipline of the troops
preserved the Volunteers who had been made pri-
soners from the fury of the people, who, exasperated
' by the evil disposition which had for some time been
manifested by several individuals of that corps, were
upon the point of suffering themselves to be carried
away by their resentment, but for the intervention
of the public force, which protects the security of all,
and even of the guilty, so long as the law has not
proclaimed them such."
The Gazette also contains, under the date of
Elves, October 15, a declaration of allegiance and
adhesion to the Government of the Queen from
Don Fernandez de Cordova, Spanish Minister in
Portugal, as well in his own name as in that of all
the persons attached to his embassy. It next gives
details of a Proclamation made on the 24th, at Ma-
drid, by which Donna Isabella was declared Queen
of Spain.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the Count de Al-
tamira, to whom, as Grand Standard Bearer, it be-
longs to unfurl the standard of the Kings of Spain,
went out, accompanied by the Marquis de nta
Cruz, the Count de Cerbellon, the Duke de Mon-
tellano, the Duke d'Abrantes, the Marquis de Alco-
nices, the Duke d'Acuna, the Count de Salvatrezza,
the Duke de Ferns, the Marquis de Malfica, the
Duke de Noblejas, the Ceunt Ouate, the Duke de
Veraguas, the Marquis de Miraflores, the Duke de
la Roca, the Marquis de Ariza, the Marquis de Bra-
naforte, the Marquis de Benamejii de Sistallo, the
Count de Viamanuel, the Ceunt de Sast tgo, the
Marquis de Costellan, and a great number of func-
tionaries and officers.

In a note after these names the Gazette states,
that some of the grandees did not attend, because
they were occupied in the discharge of their duties
at the Palace, while others had departed for dif-
ferent provinces, there, in their capacities of
standard bearers, to proclaim the Queen. Others
did not attend because they were indisposed, or
absent from Madrid. The Gazette concludes its
article by stating that the people expressed the ut-
most enthusiasm, and that when money was thrown
to them, according to custom, they cried, " We
have no need of either gold or silver, but demand
arms to defend the Queen."

In the evening there was a grand illumination, as
there will be to day and to morrow. The Govern-
ment took all the measures necessary for the main-
tenance of order; but the people of Madrid only
uttered acclamations breathing the purest fidelity.
The illoniteur has the following :—" A body of
1,200 insurgents, who had taken the direction of
Santona, has been defeated by the volunteers of that
town, joined to those of Santander and Laredo.
We learn from the department of the Pyrenees
Orientales that the insurrection of Berga had been
repressed. All was quiet on the 31st ult. at Bar-
celona, and on the Ist inst. at Gerona. It was
equally so on the road from Barcelona to Perpignan.
On the 31st ult. Captain-General Lander went to
Olot to direct the pursuit after the insurgents. It
is said that a decree of the 22d ult. pronounces the
abolition of the Royalist Volunteers, and publishes
an amnesty for political offences."
A private letter from Bordeaux, dated October 30,
five in the evening, says—" A report has just reached
me t'sat General de Bourmont having attempted to
escape from the lazaretto in Spain, where he was
performing quarantine, has been taken and im-
prisoned. By a traveller who arrived on the 28th
at Saint Jean de Luz, we learn that the Carlist
authorities at Bilboa have been changed, that a
blacksmith has been appointed chief magistrate of
the town, and the late corregidor, the Marquis de
Valdespina, and M. Uhagon, the late deputy of the
province, have been arrested."
The Memorial Bordelais' of the 31st ult., has the
following from Bayonne, dated the 29th :—" A
Prussian courier, with despatches, arrived at Bay-
onne from Paris on the morning of the 26th, and set
off immediately for Madrid. If, as is said, the
Queen Regent awaits the recognition of the northern
Powers in order to dismiss M. Zea Bermudez arid
his colleagues, the arrival of a Prussian courier may
have great results. In a country where all
interests and all hatreds are summed up in a
question of persons, the most trifling events
become of consequence. The Neapolitan cou-
rier, mentioned yesterday, has given over his
despatches to the postmaster at Irun, who has sent
them on to Madrid. It has been reported that the
Government has ordered the local authorities of our
town to arrest Mina if he should arrive here, and
make him retrograde from brigade to brigade. This
order seems so strange, that we can scarcely believe
it. Constitutionalist, or solely devoted to the
Queen, Mina has a right, it seems to us, to return
to Spain, especially when general orders are calling
the Spanish refugees into the interior from the
frontiers, or are opening to them the gates of their
country. We are assured that Mina is already in
the environs of this town." We have the follow-
ing from St. Jean Pied-de-Port, of the 28th of
Oct. :—" The Chief of insurgents, Salapas, being
informed that 400 men from Pampeluna were in
pursuit of him, did not think proper to wait for
them, but left Otchagavia in the night of the 20th,
and went by forced marches through Zubirg towards
the valley of Ulzama, whence it is supposed he will
get into the Alava, by Ugarte Araquil, or that he
will reach Puente la Reyna, where Ihwralde is,
with 900 men, and 200 horses. In consequence of
the action in which El Pastor dispersed the insur•
gents, the latter, mostly Biscayaus, have retired to
their homes, renouncing their intended attack on
Tolosa, which is thus spared a coup de main. The
day following this engagement, 200 or 300 muskets,
thrown away by the retreating party, were found by
the troops of El Pastor. These arms were of great
use to the Constitutionalists, who were in want of

SPAIN.

(From the Morning Papers' Correspondence.)
MADRID, OCT. 23.—We are informed that the
mails, which had stopped in Burgos, have been seat
on through Arragon, and will enter France via Jaca.
There is some rumour afloat of a Carlist conspiracy
having been discovered in Madrid, in consequence
of which six Jesuits and several other persons have
been arrested. The Government is silent on the
subject, but has taken the necessary precautions;
numerous patrols circulate through the streets dur-
ing the night, and in the day-time the entire of the
police is on foot.

The correspondence of Don Carlos with his bre-
titer Ferdinand is about to be made public.
Count de Negres, who had obtained leave to
reside in the hotel of his mother during her late
illness, received a few days ago an invitation from
the authorities to repair to Pampeluna, where he is
to undergo his imprisonment. He politely begged
of the officer who handed him the notice to wait
for him in his parlour whilst he went into the next
room to dress himself, and he effected his escape
through a back-door. The person who had given
security for the Count was then called upon, but
he replied that the moment the authorities bad
claimed the Count, and that the latter had surren-
dered himself to the officer, it was their business
to watch him, and that he could not be held reTon-
sible for his escaping. The matter is consequently
to be brought before the Courts.
The troops marching on Vittoria under General
Saarsfield amount to 4,000 men, with eight pieces
of artillery. He is said to have written to the Go-
vernment that on the 24th he would proclaim Donna
Isabella in that town. He could not have reached
Burgos before the 22d.
It has been reported that disturbances have taken
place in Jaen. The journals, in recapitulating the
provinces in which tranquillity has not been dis-
turbed, do not mention that of Jaen. Some fears
are likewise entertained respecting Toledo and its
environs. The revolters of Talavera de la Reyna
and Santander have been defeated and taken. Me-
rino was on the 16th at Aranda de Duero, where he
issued a proclamation to the Royalist Volunteers of
the district to come and join him, under the penalty
of death. He is said to be at the head of four or
five thousand men. One of the last mails
from Burgos was intercepted by him. Ties pde,t
hal, in January last, been admitted to kiss the
Qdeen's hand, and to present her with an address
