It appears by accounts from 'Bayonne of the '2Bth'
ult. that the celebrated Champion of the Faith, the
Trappist, ha's closed his military and political career in
a manner which he little expected. Hating received
orders to trait the capital, he presented himself to the
King. and demanded, as the reward of his services, the
Superintendence of the Pblice of Cuenca, with the mili-
tary command of that place. The King referred him
to the Minister at War, who having probably received
secret instructions, refused his request, and told him it
was the King's pleasure that he should return to his
Convent. The Trappist flew into a passion; the Minis-
ter tailed him a Liberal and a Freemason, and had him
turned out of.the room, and the King immediately or
'dered a Colonel and fifty cavalry to escort him bad; to
his Convent, and to deliver him into the hands of his
Superior. if this be true, and a new struggle should
arise in Spain, there is no cloak how the Trappist would
use the great influence which he possesses over 'the
minds of the people. He has probably now discovered
that an absolute King is not the best of Kings, and
might feel disposed to assist in pulling down the brazen
idol which he has contributed to erect. Ferdinand had;
issued several Decrees imposing various duties,and esta-
blishing new regulations, especially sespecting the im-
portation of salt fish.
The following from a private correspondent, con-
firms the intelligence from Bayonne, as to the restless
state of Spain:

" MADRID, FEBRUARY

" The amnesty seems deferred sine die. A iew days
ago it was the general.talk; now all is silent again.
The Ministers of the Holy Alliance are psuzzled about
that, and about everything else; they have their conk
ferences together almost as often as the King's Ministers
have their juntas; they have their plans for governing
the country, very nicely arranged upon paper, but they
find their measures produce no good, on the contrary
aff.tirs appear worse and worse. They seem to suppose,
an extended amnesty would too much dissatisfy the
great mass of Royalists, already so much disappointed
in their expectations, and the situation of the actual Go-
verninent be thereby rendered more perplexing than it is.
44 To keep the Royalists in order and to enforce mea-
sures, an army is requisite, and there is no money to
create an army. As it is, the Government can do no-
thing more than issue Decrees in the Gakette, which are
either attended to or not, according to circumstances
and the disposition of the people. For example, the Cu-
rate Merino was ordered to disband his followers, or
soldiers, as they are called, in the manner that the other
partizan Chiefs have done t he was willing to do so, but
the Officers and msn refused, withont receiving their
pay) and a continuation of it, together with their rank,
in fact, to be considered as troops of the line. The Go-
vernment is unable or unwilling to accede; there is no
disposable force, or any to be relied on; the consequence
is, the French have to deal with the Curate, and fourre-,
giments of infantry and cavalry, with artillery, marched
!;nit yesterday in pursuit of him and his followers, in
the direction of Segovia. Some say his force is 2,000,
others 7,000 men. If Merino is true to his men, he
may give the French a great deal to do, not by fighting
with them, but in the Spanish guerilla fashion. He is
upon his own ground, and in the midst of his friends.
" The Trappist also has been very unruly, refusing to
'leave Madrid, notwithstanding repeated orders-a-pro-
bably he made promises to his men which the Govern-
ment will not enable him to perform. In his last in-
terview with the Minister of War, he went down upon
his knees, as his last resource, imploring him to let hint
remain, but the Minister told him obedience was the
first duty, both in the soldier and the filar, and sent him
off the next morning to his convent with an escort.
" The disbanded soldiers of the other partisans do
not travel to their homes very contentedly. They say,
if they turn out again, they will know who they have
to fight for, not for priests and friars, nor for one who
will turn them adrift so easilunthey had better have
t
fought for themselves, and they would have got
something. I suppose, by, and bye, this will be the case
that they will turn out for themselves on all the high-
ways, and live by plunder.
" The Genetic of to-day brings a decree for the re-
establishment, or rather the more efficient duty of the
internal Custom-houses, which had been done away by
the Constitution, in all the principal towns, as also the
contributions, or head-money, of Castile and Leon,
which was collected by a duty on five of the chief ar-
ticles of consumption. The Government is at its wits
end for money, and must resort to every means possible
to squeeze it out of the people. As to anything like
justice or good faith, that is quite oat of the question;
if any money can be laid bold of, by hook or by creek,
there is no such thing as giving it back again. All the
tricks and shifts imaginable are practised to evade the
most reasonable and just claim in the world ; and I am
afraid I shall have shortly to report the case of an. Eng•
lishrnau, whose property was seized by the Officers of
the Government, under the idea Mat it belonged to Con-
stitutionalists and the produce of the sale applied .to
cover the nakedness of the troops, and whose application
for payment of the value of the effects has hitherto been
answered by general observations, that such cases natO-
rally happen in revolutions, and that be should proceed
against the Colonel of the regiment who had ordered
the sale, who was the responsible person, and so 811:
The Colonel, probably, only gets four months' pay Out-
of the twelve, and if he can cover his own nakedness
with it, it is about as much as be can do.

"I understand a contract has been entered into with
the Government for the supply of 12,000 of the disor-
derly Irish, for the purpose of keeping orderly the Spa-
nish people ; the officers to be taken from the English
,half-pay list ; which they give up to come on Spanish full
pay. I suppose they will all be Irishmen who commit
this blunder. The British Government will Le a great
gainer by this measure, as the half-pay list will be so
much decreased, and the famous Captain Rock, it is
supposed, will be completely deserted. The contractor,
of course, niust be from 'the sod,' but I don't know if
he's wild. There can be no obstacle in the way of the
fulfilment of this contract between the two high con-
tracting parties, since the sine qua non is quite out of it."

Made by the Naiad to weigh. and In standing ant of the Bay. about
half-past three, we observed * strangetin the oiling. which we in-
stantly made the signal for condi* on on on the opposite tack. Soon
after, when she had got on our reatieer beam. the Naiad hoisted
her ensign, ithich was followed bee the 'corvette hoisting a large Al-
swine ensign and pendant. The Naiad then fired a shot to bring
her to. when she-instantly returned It. The signal No. 3, being
then made, to tack in ehoce, we immediately tacked, and opened our
broadside on the elute; and which We did not cease firing, except
when the Naiad was passing between us and the enemy, until we
laid him on-board. Soon after the Naiad passed, she went ahead of
41
the enemy, and tacked and stood out found her. By this time we got
nearly tafd-arm ind yard-arm to the vessel, and by the well direct
area mond and grape, many other men were killed and woun .
—Captain Burton, now perceiving that the Naiad pa made is
signal of recal, gave directions to toad with gripe and catthisere,
Snake ready to board, and, when** was ready, to give the hit .
We kept away for the guns to bear e on inffing-to again to b
we had so much way that we shot a-bead close under the enemy's
bows : orders were instantly given to heave all aback, in order to
bring the enemrabowsptit over the Camelion's taffrail; the enemy
pencilling this statlituvre, put his helm a-weather to run to lee%vard,
when orders were given to drop the peak, bear round the head-
yards, and fill, to at kin again. In a few minutes the Camelion run
her best bower into the enemy's fore-chains, and instantly boarded'
with all hands. Finding the crew of the corvette had run below,
Lieutenant Been" who conducted himself in the most gallant
manner, was left on board to take charge of her, the Captain having
returned to take her in tow. In the meantime, when in the act of
clearing the ship, Captain Spencer stood in, and ordered the anchor
to he cat away."

Within the last half-hour a gmeral panic has seized the Foreign

Spanish Bonds have fallen to to 3 per cent. They have just been
done at 110 to 201. Consols are now 331, j.
We cannot as yet ascertain the •cause of the depression in the
foreign funds, but it is supposed to be coring to the obstinacy of the
Spanish Government in asserting its claim to its late Colonies, and
the utter hopelessness of its being able to reconquer a single Province,

By an Express from Paris, we have received the.
Journal des Debats and Etoile of Saturday, but they
contain no intelligence of any interest to the English
Reader, being principally filled with observations on the
elections. The Princess of Corms appears to be much
worse, as when her brother, the Doc de BOURBON ♦i-
sited her on Friday evening, she did not know him.
It is stated, in an article from Rome, that the new
Ambassador from Portugal had arrived There; and that
the Englishman who had been wounded in the streets,
was in great danger.

By the arrival of a Lisbon Mail, we have Papers to
the 21st ult. They are almost exclusively filed with
extracts from the English, French, and Spanish Jour-
nals. The Gazette of the 18th ult. contains the follow-
ing account of the ceremony of investing the KING of
PORTUGAL with the insignia of the Russian Order of
St. Andrew :
LISBON, JANUARY- Is.

Ili: Majesty desiring to receive with becoming poop
and distinction the investiture of the Order of St. An-
drew, which his Majesty the Emperor of Russia has.
sent to him, and also to his Royal Highness the Infant
Don Miguel, by Baron Strogonoff, his Majesty was
.pleased to appoint for the ceremony Monday, the 16th
instant, at two o'clock, in the Palace of N. S. d'Ajuda.
At the hour appointed, the Court being assembled,
the Baron Strogonoff, accompanied by M. de Borel,
the Charge d'Affaires and Consul-General of the Em-
peror of Ruisia, and by his suite, was introduced in the
usual form, and addressed his Majesty as follows:
" Stara—Commissioned by the Emperor, my august
Sovereign, to deliver to your Majesty the insignia of
the Orders of Russia, I consider myself as exceedingly
happy in being the organ to express to your Majesty
the sentiments of lively affection and true friendship, of
which his Imperial Majesty is happy to give your Ma-
jesty a brilliant proof. The Emperor adds to it the
congratulations, the sincerity of which is already known
,to your Majesty.
" I beg your Majesty to believe that I am deeply
sensible of the good fortune of fulfilling so honourable
a commission, and of presenting to your Majesty the
►omage of my respect, when ybur Majesty, restored to
the wishes of your people, sees all Europe rejoice in
their happiness, and in their love for the august person
of your Majesty."
To which his Majesty replied:

" I 'mice with sensible'pleacure the insignia of the
Orders of Russia which his Majesty the EMpercn, your
august Sovereign,* has thought fit to send me; and I
accept them as a new pledge of the friendship which
