Thi, forenoon we received 11.1yonne papers to the
11th ill St. (.;:.!!ler M ENDOZ VIGo is said to have

defeated a band of 600 bp.urgents, on the €20:1 ult.
at Beccite, in Ai ragon, when 30 of the rebels were

killed; the General vrai still in pursuit of the enemy.
Two thousand of the Insurgents attacked General
VIGO at Oita, but were repulsed, and driven from
all the positions which they occupied.
The news of MINA having entered Puycerda and
Llivia had leached Madrid by express, and excited
the warmest enthusiasm among the patriotic party.
Great uneasiness prevailed in Madrid as to the ques-
tion of war or peace ; but in ease of the former, the
"support of England was confidently expected. • Some
English bankers are said to have made very advan-
tageous proposals for the new loan.
The tandaburnian Society continues ' its Sittings,
where the same topics are discussed with increasing
ardour, which shews the progress of public spirit.
In the Sitting of the 28th a great deal was said of
the interference of foreigners in the internal affairs of
Spain. " We know►" it was said, " pretty accurately

and giving a criminal support to those who would
re-establish absolute power and all the monstrous in-

have are of the opinions that may be advanced by

out contradiction; would be that which should ad-
wise modifications in the Constitution.
- "if we had not before our eyes the example of the

evils which have been caused in France by an appa•
gently indifferent change in the mode of election, ~ve
may judge IA hat caution should be observed in such
operations, and we ought to consider the Constitution
as the Holy Ark, which cannot be touched without
being guilty of sacrilege. such notions are brought
&forward they wduld certainly be laid hold of by the
Anilleros, to advocate their projects of Two Cham-
bers and the Veto. The Patriots must, therefore, be
. fully sensible of their rights and their duties ; they
must not forget'that the Constitution to which they
have sworn, to preserveall its strength, must preserve
its integrity ; that it is like an immensecolumn, from
which a single stone cannot be loosened without
