FROM Orrotha.
We have received the 'following letter from Bay-
tkole, written by a friend of General Ct•Donnei
" I have to inform you that our brave General has
arrived very apropos, for he was in a pitiable state.
Oh the night of the 18th or 19th December he fell
with lfis horse into a chasm. He was promptly as-
sisted and withdrawn from the abyss, but his leg and
right foot were dreadfully crushed.
44 The enemy was at that time pursuing him closely,
and he was obliged to manoeuvre at the head of his
columns night and day, on horseback, being unable
to go on foot in consequence of his unfortunate con-
tusions; and at the end 'Of ten days, having led his
tioops into the mountains, he resolved to return to
France to take care of his leg,which was exceedingly
inflamed. As these troops had made very long
marches, and experienced excessive cold during 28
days, the toes of the General were frozen, and his in-
flamed leg exhibited symptoms of gangrene. To-day
these symptoms have disappeared, and there remain
only a great inflammation and a wound in the leg,
which oblige him to keep his bed. When he has re-
covered from the effects of the severe cold be has en-
dured, his convalescence will be speedy.
" He has had but two rencontres: the first at Lum-
bier, which was only a skirmish of the rear guard.
Ilis eldest scn, having charged at the head of his
mounted chasseurs, received a blow from a sabre on
the wrist. The younger son, who was Aid-de-Camp
to his father, did-not receiite a scratch.
" On the 18th them was another affair of the rear
guard. The enemy wished to surprise the passage
of tke bridge; they failed completely, and lost a
grest number of men there, and among the rest
three Officers.
The Royalists of Navarre are at present in the
greatest destitution of all, and, if sucooutbe not very
promptly afforded them, they must necessarily fall
before the expiration of a month. These good and
zealous Rayalists turn, withoot ceasing, their eyes
towards France and the French Bourbons, and still
hope they turn them not in vain. May their noble
and invariable confidence not be deceived r
PARIS, JANUARY .).4.
The successes of the Army of the Faith in Catalonia
and Navarre have already restored the courage of
those who see in the war which France is about to
was with Spain the same dangers which were ex-
perienced in the campaign of 1808. They begin to
perceive that the arriv4l of a French army of 100,000
men in the northern provinces, the whole population
of which is Royalist, will produce an auxiliary army
of Spaniards, and that in a little time they will reach
the Ebro, and from thence dictate laws to the Revo-
lution, if it be not already dissolved.
The Constitutional Army has not been hitherto
able to- destroy the Royalist corps opposed to them,
and can it be supposed that the Army of the Faith,
supported by France, will not be able to triumph
over its enemies? France alone would suffice for a,
war which is to reconcile Spain for ever with Europe.
It is a war of feeling and honour. At present, every
thing is thought to be comprised in physical ad•
vantages, and it is said that France will not gain a
province; to what purpose therefore war? This war
will assure peace, by destroying the Revolutionists
of Spain, and giving the last blow to the Revolts-
tionists of France. It is on the pillars of Hercules
that Legitimacy, after vanquishing the Revolution,
should, in the present day, incribe His meta laborum.

Mr. &ilium, the late Attorney-General in Ireland,
will, it is said, form the subjecr of the next Number
of " Sketches of M IriSfs Bar," which are appearing
in Mr. Campbells New Monthly Magazitie.
OF all studies for British Youth, after theNarretioes
of the Old and New Testament, none are so fitting as
the History of England ; yet no one will deny that
there never has existed a History of England. in all
respects adapted.to purposes of education.. An attempt
will be made to supply this deficiency, by the publica-
tion, in a few data, of an Abridgment of Hymn and
.Bmot.i.err, with a Continuation by the Rev. Dr. Ro-
istusou, down to the Coronation of George IV. 'Be-
sides its superior Text, this Work will contain above
