The corpse of the Infanta Carlota was removed to-
day from the Calle della Luna, where it has been lying
in state, and was carried, with a funeral cortege suitable
to her rank, to be deposited in that part of the Pan-
theon at the Escurial, appropriated to the relatives of
the Royal family.
The Commission nominated by the Crown to draw up
a report respecting the formation of a Council of State,

The tobacco revenue is about to be put up for public

and Senor Carriquiri, have offered to advance 500,000/.

the stock of tobacco, &c. on hand at 300,000/., with
prompt payment.
The troops destined for Alicante have left, and the
Luchana Regiment has been brought in from the envi-
rons of Madrid.

SAN SEBASTIAN, FEB. 3.—An extraordinary courier
arrived here last night from Madrid, with dispatches for
Brigadier Baruachea, who commands the province of
Guipuscoa. He brought the tidings of the death of the
Infanta Carlota, wife of Don Francisco de Paula, and a
communication announcing that the Nationals of San
Sebastian were to be disarmed within a short period.
The period was certainly a short one, as this morning at
day-break, and before the gates of the city were opened,
another courier arrived with the order that the dis-
arming should take place on the receipt of the dispatches
by the General. .
The first act of the General on reading his dispatches
was to order that the guns of the citadel should be
loaded, and pointed to the town ; and his next, that the
troops should assemble in their barracks, and remain
under arms, and with muskets loaded, and bayonets
fixed, the whole of the day. The artillery were also
ordered to man the ramparts, and to stand by their guns
with lighted matches ; that all, in fact, should be ready
to commence hostilities at a moment's notice.

In addition to the preparations made in the citadel,
barracks, and ramparts, for hostilising the town, a bat-
talion was ordered to march from Hernani here, and the
General awaited its arrival before entering upon
operations.
The order for disarming was communicated at one
o'clock, P.M.; it is now five o'clock. The surrender of
arms and accoutrements is going on, and up to this mo-
ment the public tranquillity has not been for an instant
disturbed, nor do I suppose it will be.

HAND-BOOK TO GIBRALTAR.—A little neat work with
this title has just been published by Cowie, Jolland, and
Co., of the Poultry, drawn up by an old inhabitant of
this celebrated fortress, and accompanied with eight
lithographic views of the more remarkable buildings and
scenery in the neighbourhood. It contains a brief, but
interesting account of the fortifications and batteries,
the trade and commerce of the place, the character and
variegated races of the inhabitants, not over-
looking the indigenous race of monkeys that
inhabit the Rock. They appear (says the writer) to
have existed there from time immemorial, and it is the
only spot in Europe where- they are found in a wild
state. The population of the town is reckoned at
20,000, and is thus classified :-9,000 natives, 900
British, 2,000 Spaniards, 1,000 Genoese, and 600 Por-
tuguese. The Jews amount to 1,800, and the garrison
generally to 4,000 troops. It contains a list of all the
Governors and Commandants of the fortress since its
capture in 1704, with some statistical details which will
be found useful.
MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The total number
of deaths, during the week ending Feb. 3, amounted to
1,086, showing an increase of 75 over those of the pre-
vious week. The excess has taken place chiefly among
deaths caused by diseases of the lungs, the ave-
rage being 330, while the present returns give
391. The number carried off by inflammation
was 106, and from consumption 162, both con-
siderably above the average ; by small-pox 18, of
whom 11 had not been vaccinated ; and by violent
deaths 18, 4 of which were suicides committed by fe-
males. From the meteorological observations taken at
the Greenwich Observatory, it appears that the ther-
mometer during the week was lowest on Feb. 1, and
highest on Jan. 29, the degrees being respectively 27'5
and 50.1.
