FRENCH PAPERS.

(From Galignani's Messenger of Saturday.)
The Indicateur of Bordeaux of the 30th ult. has ac-
counts from St. Jean de Luz of the 28th, stating that the
French troops are occupied in making entrenchments from
Port St. Jacques to Hendaye. The Carlists have also
made covered ways on the banks of the Bidassoa. The
French shallops which the Carlists carried off from Hen-
daye are to be armed at Irun.

Extract of a letter of the 29th ult, from Bayonne :
" The general subject of conversation here is an action
which is said to have taken place in the valley of Mena,
from an unexpected attack made by General Cordova, who
forced the Carlists to fall back. Letters from St. Sebas-
tian announce two other battles, one on the 20th at Orozco,
and the other on the 21st at Balmaceda, in both of which
also the Carlists were worsted. According to the best
information we have been able to obtain, the bead-quar-
ters of tjle Carlists were, on the 22d, at Quincoces,
in advance of Orduna. General Espeleta's division, which
left Bilboa' has reached Medina del Pomar, wheie
there are barracks strongly fortified. The troops under
Don Carlos made a vain attempt to bring the division to
an action, but finding that Espeleta would not venture be-
yond his intrenchmcnts, Don Carlos left him, and removed
his quarters to Villanova de Alava, where he was on the
24th. The Pretender had received news from General
Guergue, in' Catalonia, dated the 17th. This General
having- returned into Arragon, with the intention of sur-
prising General Montes in Balbastro, chose the night of the
7th to carry his project into execution. A heavy fall of
rain, however, having caused the Cinca to overflow, he
was forced to abandon the attempt. His enemy, who was
10,000 strong, having intelligence of his march, took mea-
sures for surrounding Guergue, but after a fatiguing march
of six days he succeeded in escaping. He returned into
Catalonia on the 14th, and on reaching Organya, found
himself in presence of General Pastor with 2,500 men.
On the 15th he made an attack on this division at Las
Tres Puentes, and forced to retreat to Urgel, with a loss
of 600 men, killed, wounded, and prisoners. Guergue, in
his despatch says, that from the impetuosity of his attack,
and the slight resistance of the Christinos, be had only seven
men killed and 16 wounded, two of whom were officers.

The &Winelle des Pyrenees of the 29th ult. has the
following :—" The Carlist Chief Luqui has died of the
wounds which he received on the new bridge of Bilboa.
COO young men, enrolled at Estella, left that place on
the 22d, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Don Satur-
nino Pascual, for Segura, in Guipuscoa, where they will
receive new muskets from the manufactory of Eybar.
In an engagement which took place on the 19th, near
Barbastro, between Guergue and the Queen's General,
Gurrea, the latter had 200 .kiiled and wounded. We
know not the loss of the Carlists. In order to avoid
disturbances at Pampeluna relative to the convents, the
Viceroy has required the monks to choose some place
for their future residence, in order that passports may
be delivered to them, which many have eagerly complied
with. On the 23d, 16 of them went to Estella, de-
cided upon taking up arms in favour of Don Carlos,
for any employment which they might be useful to his
cause. Among the monks who have left Pampeluna
some joined the ranks of the first Carlist party that they
fell in with, and others repaired to different parts of the
kingdom. The Viceroy of Navarre is about to send a
military force to drive the 2d Carlist battalion from the
Carrascal, where it is stationed, for the purpose of inter-
cepting the communications."

A letter from Saragossa of the 23d ult. says—" Our re-
volutionary Government continues to act with energy. We
are of opinion here that Mendizabal will negotiate with the
Juntas, for, so far from their fate depending upori him, he
is dependent upon them. The superior Government Junta
of Arragon has issued the following ordinance Taking
into consideration the unworthy conduct of Gen. Montes,
who, after having assumed the Presidency of the Junta,
displayed his hypocrisy in separating from the Junta and
the people, under the pretext of marching against the
enemies of the people ; considering also that Monies has
ceased to correspond with the Junta, so as to leave no doubt
of his culpability, the Junta declares him to be dismissed
from his post of Captain-General, and from the command
of the armies of this kingdom. Moreover, the Junta
orders that no chief or authority shall obey him, under pain
of being declared in rebellion against the superior authority,
which resides in the Junta, and on pain of being declared an
enemy Of the national cause, and of the throne of Isabella
ll.' Another' ordinance of the Junta appoints the Arra-
gonesa Brigadier Francisco Ocana to he Captain-General
and President." Another letter from Sarag,ossa of the
25th has the following :—General Palafox has been ap-
pointed Captain-General of Arragon, but we will not have
him. ' Mina has been appointed Captain-General of Cata-
lonia ; we will have him for the Coronilla of Arragon,
joined to Catalonia and Valencia. This is the wish of
every heart. Moreover, we will not lay down our arms
until the convocation of the general Cortes shall have taken
place."

The Junta of Catalonia issued a notice on the 21st ult.,
announcing that it loses 'no time in collecting the revenue.
The Commission of the Financial Administration informs
the public that the delay granted for the recovery of the
taxes having expired, military measures must bi had re-
course'to for enforcing payment from the defaulters, inas-
much as their neglect obliges the Government to resort to
extraordinary imposts ; it is therefore just that all, without
any exception or privileged classes, should be compelled to
pay their arrears. To effect this object, the Junta orders
the corporations, and persons charged with the collection of
the clerical and commercial subsidies, as well as of the con-
tributions on real property, to pay into the treasury of the
province all the funds they may have in hand, and to for-
ward at the same time, a list of defaulters, in order that
they may be proceeded against.

The Augsburg Gazette gives the following of the 22d
ult., from Vienna :—" We are expecting here M. de St.
Aulaire, the French Ambassador, but do not know whether
he will go to Toplitz. The battalions of the Landwehr
which form part of the army in Italy are recalled, and are
about to return to their families. It is in contemplation to
establish in Galicia fortified towns, similar to those near
Lintz."

The Breslau Gazette gives the following, under date of
Kalisch, Sept. 22—" The Russian Guards will set out on
their march to-morrow, arrive at Thorn on the 28th inst.,
and embark at Dantsic on the 9th of October. Tomor-
row also the Prussian troops will leave the camp,.. and on
this occasion entertainments will be given similar to those
on their arrival."

A prosecution instituted against the members of an asso-
ciation in Mecklenburgh Schwerin, for establishing the li-
berty of the press in the Grand Duchy, has at length been
brought to a conclusion by the final judgment of the Su-
preme Court sitting at Gustrow. All the prisoners were
acquitted, and thus are not only delivered from the
pain of imprisonment to which they were condemned by
the Courts below, but are also exempt from the pay-
ment of costs.

The Funds at Berlin on the 26th ult. were—Four per
Cents., cash, 101 ; paper, 101 i ; and at Vienna, on the 24th
—Metallics, Five per Cents., 1021 ; Pour per Cents., 991 ;
The Journal de Perpignan of the 26th ult. states, that a
species of Carbonari association has been discovered at
Toulouse, which has led to searches in the neighbouring de-
partment of the Pyrenees Orientales, in consequence of
which several soldiers of the 11th Regiment of the Line
have been arrested and conducted to Toulouse, as well as
some of the non-commissioned officers of the 17th Regi-
ment, who were implicated by papers found in the pos-
session of a serjeant-major of the same regiment, who had
been previously taken into custody. One of them had in his
knapsack a knife perfectly similar to some murderous wea-
pons which were found in the shop of a cutler at Perpignan.
The General of the division has ordered a court of inquiry
to be assembled.
