AFFAIRS OF SPAIN.

PARIS, DEC. 14.—The Indicateur says,—" General
Mina has not returned into Pampeluna, but he occupies
strong positions in the environs of that city. He has now
10,000 regular troops, and 1,000 Volunteers.
" It is completely false that orders have been given to
the English ships which blockade the coast to suffer the
supplic:, to pass which are destined for the Carlists."
The same has a letter from laca of the 7th, of
the following tenor f---" There has been a severe action,
which continued two days, the valley of Roncal. The
Carlists are said to have been cut is nieces. We are not
acquainted with the details. All we ii; .`,lw is, that the
Carlists attempting to fly are stated to have :;:'en inter-
cepted in their retreat by a column of Mina's troops,
occupied Sanguesa, Adiz, Roncesvalles, and Salaear. The
rebels occupied Roncal.—Constilutionnel, Dec. 15.
We regret to say so, but our letters from Bayonne of the
10th of December, reduce to nothing all the news of pre-
tended successes lately obtained in Navarre by the Queen's
troops.
Mina, in order to come to the frontier, to receive a sum
of 500,000 francs, which had been sent to him from
Bayonne, was obliged to employ three of his divisions to
clear the ground from Pampeluna to the Aldudes, and lie
passed over the ground at the head of 8,000 men. This is
very different from the hopes that were entertained of the
effect of his name on the ancient theatre of his success.
We were told that he returned to Pampeluna out of spirits,
and that he has vowed not to leave it again till' he has re-
ceived reinforcements to the amount of 10,000 men.

The Reparateur (a Lyons journal) says that the fortifi-
cations of Lyons, which, by the original estimate, were to
cost five millions, have already cost more than ten millions,
and are not half finished.

Lord Brougham yesterday visited the Central School of
Arts and Manufactures, where he was not expected. He
minutely examined it, and promised to correspond with that
useful establishment.

On Monday there will be a general sitting of the Court
of Cassation, to try two causes in which the Attorney-Ge
neral will speak. Lord Brougham will be present—lV/es-
sager, Dec. 15.

13OURSE, MONDAY.—The 3 per Cents. hare declined
a little to-day. The reported refusal of Lord Stanley has
a bad influence on the speculators. The price of the 3
per Cents. is 76f. 60c.
It was expected that the news from London in regard
to the Spanish &luck would have a bad effect on the price
of that stock, but ;business is so totally extinct in it that the
price has not vari from that of Saturday last.

SIR F. BURDETT.

A meeting of the inhabitants of the parishes of St. Mar-
garet and St. John, Westminster, was held on Monday
night at the Prince's Head, Prince's-street, StOrey's-gate,
for the purpose of passing resolutions and presenting an
address to his Majesty on the crisis. Colonel Evans at-
tended. Several resolutions were passed, and the meeting
separated at half-past eleven. The following was read by
the Secretary :

" Foremark, Dec. 14.
" S►a-I take the earliest opportunity o► acknowledging the
receipt of your very flattering letter, communicating the de-
sire of my constituents of St. Margaret's and St. John's to
know my opinion respecting the late change of Administration.
Upon this subject I am so totally in the dark, that I feel my-
self quite incompetent to offer one worthy the least attention.
All we know is, and that from most indisputable authority, that
all the statements and surmises hitherto made through the
press are entirely unfounded. Under these circumstances. I
can only express my regret and deeply lament it. The time,
however, will soon arrive, when an explanation, authentic and
in due form, will be required and given. When that time shall
arrive, I shall be at my post, and the best of my ability and
judgment, and uncompromisingly, do my duty to myconsti-
tuents and to my country. No doubt the electors of West-
minster and the electors throughout England, will do theirs in
case of a dissolution, by returning to Parliament such men as
they can confide i❑ for integrity and understanding. I will
add, that I have no apprehension of the Duke of Wellington
or any other man or men. The rights and liberties of the
people of England are now placed upon a rock from which no
power on earth can remove them. Nothing but the rashness
of the people themselves can bring them into the least danger.
Let us only act upon knowledge, not surmise, steadily, reso-
lutely, and rationally. What's the army, with twenty Dukes
of Wellington, against the people of England ? For myself,
my motto has always been, "Scepe )pro ;Tye, semper pro
patria." Such I have been, such am I now, the devoted and
very humble servant of the people of Westminster.

"FRANCIS BURDETT."

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

The comedy of the Clandestine Marriage, the joint 'produc-
tion of Garrick and the elder Colman, was revived at this
house last night to the great satisfaction of a crowded audi.
ence. The re-production of this piece does great credit to
the taste and (with regard to the performers) discrimination
of the manager, who is really indefatigable in catering for the
amusement of the public. Farren as Lord Ogleby, Mrs.
Gloves* as Mrs. Heidelberg, Webster as Canton, and Harley
as Brush, ;-cre excellent in their respective places. The act-
ing of Farren and Mrs. Glover called forth frequent burts of
applause from all parts of the house. Yet the feelings which
predominate in the mind durivt; the whole performance of this
excellent comedy are not those zhick provoke laughter. With
all his follies and his excessive va,:ity, we pity Lord Ogleby,
whom we know to be at bottom a inzn of high honour, with
naturally good feelings, and a warm heart. We laugh at his
extravagant airs before his mirror, and wt are disgusted with
his significant nods to Canton when Fanny £rst attempts to
disclose to him her marriage with Loveweii; but, in the first
instance, our mirth is only momentary, and is succeeded by
regret and humiliation at the spectacle which age presents under
the guidance of folly ; and in the second we see rather an at-
tempt to appear consistent before a domestic privy to his master's
past delinquencies, than any premeditated wickedness even in
thought. His honourable proposals to Fanny and her father con-
firm us in our good opinion of him. Farren was equal to himself
throughout, which is saying every thing. The acting of Mrs.
Glover was really excellent : Mrs. Heidelberg's affectation of
the language and deportment of the people of quality—her
zeal for the honour of the family—her hearty contempt for
what she considered vulgar in her brother—and, above all,
her conduct in the closing scene, where the whole dis-
covery of the marriage takes place— were personated with
astonishing truth and humour by Mrs. Glover. Mr. Webster
performed the part of Canton in a manner highly creditable
to him, and• Harley, as Brush, was excellent. King, as Sir
John Melville, played as usual. We wish we could persuade
this gentleman to stand straight when a stooping position is
not necessary. The other parts of the performance were re-
spectable, and the curtain fell amid great applause from all
parts of the house.
