ST. SEBASTIAN, JUNE 20.

A few days since the Political Chief of this province ob-
tained information of an extensive conspiracy carrying on in the
piov uce. He succeeded in discovering some of the persons
who were engaged in this machination, with much caution, and
took measures to arrest them. Unfortunately, the conspiracy
broke out at Azpeitia, in the night of the 17th, before he could
carry his measures into effect. He then took steps, to prevent
the insurrection from extending, to arrest certain persons and
pursue the rebels. Detachments of troops have been sent out
in various directions, and many persons have been arrested.

On Sunday, the 16th, part of the Regiment of Ordenes, and
four Patriots of Pampeluna wgre attacked near Biscarret by 300
rebcls, who were in ambush; they made, however, a brave re-
sistance, and retired with the loss of only three men. The Mi-
liCa of Toledo completely defeated the rebel Balbe, killing 14 of
his men, and taking three prisoners, Ste. The populace of Pam-
Felons, seduced by the ill-disposed, would not believe the news,
and even attempted to hinder its being proclaimed.
The efforts of the anarchists at lialenda, to excite the mob
against the Regiment La Princess, unfortunately succeeded in
causing a disturbance on the 16th inst. From a statement sent
by the Colonel, it appears that the Ist Battalion, which arrived
from Murcia on the 15th, having been drawn up in the Square
before the stone of the Constitution, and giving the three usual
cheers, the country people cried, " Riego for ever !—The So-
vereign People for ever!" adding various expressions of insult
to the troops. The following evening, when the music of the
regiment went out to play the retreat, the people attacked the
musicians, crying," Riego for ever ! and Death to the Regiment
Trincesa, who are Smiles and factious !" and having compelled
them to retire to their quarters, the gates of which were shut,
they began throwing stones at the Officers, and committed va-
rious sai.cesses.

NEW BRIDGE AT WINDSOR.
Yesteidgy, y
a new bridge over the Thames )at VV;
formed by his Royal 'Highness the
with Masonic ceremonies, and the interet which was
excited on the occasion was very great.
At an early hour the tows was filled by fashionable
visitors, and during the Morning ihe roads leading
thither were lined with every species of vehicle, and
at length the town was thronged to such excess, that
accommodation was obliged to be‘refused to numbers
of individuals who arrived on the Vot.
In the early part of the it commenced
raining, and a dismal *loom pervaded the sky ; but
this did not seem to impede the disposition of the
anxious travellers, who were flocking from London in
barouches, gigs, eac. containing Freemasons and their
families, it being announced that his Royal Highness
was to attend as High Steward of the Grand Lodge
of England in full costume, and assisted by many
Gentlemen of the Craft.

Every arrangement was made for the
dation of the Masons, who attended most flume-.
rously, and were introduced to the Town Hall, Wind-
sor, where several Noblemen and Gentlemen of dis-
tinction, high in that order, were ready to receive
them, and crowds of persons were attracted round.
the place, and many Military Officers, together with
some elegantly dressed Ladies, stationed themselves
in the balcony of the White Hart Tavern, opposite
the Town Hall, in the expectation of viewing his
Royal Highness the Duke of You on hit arrival.
Several of the Headboroughs were in attendance with
ion staves ; they were stationed opposite the entrance
to the Town Hall, so as to form a passage for his
Royal Highness and the intended Procession to pass
through. The Ist Regiment of Life Guards were
also ordered to be in attendance, and those who were
Freemasons were intended to join the Procession in
full. dress. The Officers of this Regiment attracted
great attention ; their peculiarity of dress had so
striking an appearance—instead of wearing helmets,
they had cocked hats with white weeping feathers.
The town, on the whole, never presented a more in-
teresting appearance. The day was observed as a
holiday, and all the tradesmen closed their shops.
At about two o'clock his Royal Highness the Duke
of YORK arrived at the Town Hall, where he was re-
ceived by the Gentlemen forming the Grand Lodge,
and others of the Craft. Amongst the Gentlemen
present were the Earl of HARRINGTON, Lord HAR•
COURT, Lord REDICSDALL Lord GORE, the Hon.HA RRY
BEECHER LYGON, General Sir JOHN DOYLE, Colonel
CA VENDISH, Colonel CORMACIC, WILLIAMS, Esq.
M.P. and many other persons of distinction.
The Procession shortly after commenced, and the
town by this time presented a most lively and inte-
resting appearance ; every window and situation that
could be possibly occupied, were filled by Ladies, &c.
and the spectacle presented to public view surpassed
all description ; suffice it to. say, that the whole of the
beauty and fashion of this pleasant little town was
now shewn off to great advantage. The streets,
through which the Procession had to pass were so
thronged that it was almost incredible that Windsor
could contain such a body of persons.
The Procession moved on slowly in the following
order, proceeding out of the West entrance of tho
Town Hall, from thence down High-street and
Thames-street, to the scite of the foundation, on the
Windsor side of the intended new Bridge.

Two Stewards.
Peace Officers, &c. &c. &c.
The line of Procession reached from the Town
Hall nearly to the bottom of Thames-street; and his
Royal Highness and the whole of the Grand Lodge
and Craft being in their full costume, and decorated
with all the honours of Freemasonry, had a most pe-
culiar and grand effect. On their arrival at the place
where the stone was to be laid, the Brethren and
others who walked in procession formed themselves
on a platform, which was erected immediately above
the spot intended for the ceremony ; and the Mayor
and Corporation, Committee, and the attendants on
his Royal Highness, were only allowed to descend
into the foundation. The pressure that now took
took place was excessive, so anxious were the popu-
lace to view the ceremony.
On his Royal Highness, &c. descending, the stone
which had been lowered by the workmen had some
cement placed underneath it, and a lower stone had ,
a hole worked in it, intended for the coins and me-
dals which were to be deposited therein. His Royal
Highness then ordered the stone to be lowered, and
the Chaplain recited an appropriate prayer ; on which
the stone was placed, and his Royal Highness per-
formed the ceremonies by placing under the stone a
sovereign, a half-sovereign, a crown-piece, a half-
crown, a shilling, a sixpence, a four-penny piece, a two-
penny and penny-piece—current coins of the realm.
His Royal Highness then delivered to the architect
a plan of the building, and some of the instruments
of masonry, wishing him success in his undertaking.
His Royal Highness then re-ascended the platform,
and the Grand Officer delivered an oration which con-
