(From the correspondence of the Standard.)
Bayonne, October 12, Seven o'clock, evening.—They write froni
Madrid on the Ist of October as follows:—" Gomez was at Mon-
toro preparing to repss the Guadalquivir and La Sierra, to
throw himself into the mountains of Vulida, in consequence of
the demonstrations of the Captain General of Sevilla, who had
assembled on the 28th 4000 men at Carmona. Senz was, on the
6th, at six leagues from Oviedo, which latter place was occupied.
by 2000 trouts and militia determined to resist him. The •Por-
tuguese brigade was proceeding there from Leon on the 2d inst.•
by forced marches."
" Montoro," says the Journal des Debats, " is on the high road
from Cordova between that town and Andujar. The road which,
runs along the left side of the Guadalquivir Gomez has quitted,
he has since crossed the river at the bridge of Montoro, and re-
turned into the mountainous districts." Thns, according to this
account, he ceased to march on Cordova, without taking either
that town or Jaen, towns being still defended- by oldiwalls
flanked with towers, which are as old as the time of the Moors ;
and the Carlists are without the means of attack. According to
the terms Of the above despatch, Gomez will repass the Sierra
Morena by the road of La Conq.uista. in the direction ofhPludad
Real, the capital of La Mahcha. Carmona, where the Captain
General of Andalusia asseMbled his troops, is a fortified town
between Seville and Ecija.
BAYONNE, Oct. la—Gomez entered Cordova on the Ist
instant. The Spaniards and the garrison, shut up its fortified
houses, resisted the enemy.
Ataix was on the sth at Andujar, Espinosa at Fuentes de la
Campana, anal Rodil at Mara.
The Debate says truly, "The news of to-day are quite opposed
to those "of yesterday. Gomez is no tunger about to cross the
Sierra Morena ;..on the contrary.—behold! he hiss entered Cdr-
dove, and is marching already on Seville. We were taught to
believe that he was pursued with thy greatest vigour, and that
five or six corps of troops were shutting- up all the means of
escape er of advance; whillt now we leant, on' the contrary, that
the Brigadier Alaix was five days' march behindhand, and that
the Captain General of Andalusia is still occupied in getting
together his forces in the environs of Carmona.
" Some persons think that the ulterior destination of his ex-
pedition is the province of the Algarves, in the south of Portu-
gal. Geniez will, in that hypothesis, gain the mountains to the
west of Seville. to crossthe Guadiana, the course of which forms
the frolitier of Portugal and of Spain. This version is the
more probable, inasmuch as lOortuguese general and many
Portuguese officers march with thrmez; and, according to the
latest intelligence froqi Lisbon, a 151iguelist rising was feared in
the Algarves.
" The entry of the 'Carlist chief Don Pablo Sanz into
Oviedo is a new source of embarrassment for the Queen of
Spain, whose cause this expedition menaces in Castille, and
for Portugal, which it can menace by Gallicia, as Gomez has
attempted already.
"Mora, where Rodil is encamped, is six leagues south of
Toledo, between that town and Consuee,ra, on the route of
Ciudad Real. This position is at an equal distance from Anda-
lusia, and from the frontiers of Valentia. They do not say what
are the troops he is to oppose in that direction—viz., of the
mountains of Toledo. Perhaps he was obliged to make this
movement in order to repress the incursions of the bands which
occupy the mountains." '
Cadiz, Sept. 30.—Muskets have been ordered to be bought at
Gibraltar. The provincifil regiment of Jerez; which was at
Ceuta, has been replaced by the National. Guards, and put at
the service of the Captain General of Andalusia. All the troop's
have been ordered to march on Jerez. No more troops have
been kept at Cadiz than those necessary to guard the place.
The national mobilised militia left yesterday at half-past twelve
for Jerez playing patriotic airs, and accompanied by a great
part of the population. No one can describe the touching and
enthusiastic scene. General Butron, who was the second in
command at the siege of Saragossa, has left Cadiz with full
power to take the chief command of all the national militia of
the province assembled at Jerez. Don Jeijoo de Marquina has
left for Gibraltar to buy 1,000 muskets. Other members of the
Ayuntamiento have gone into the different towns of the.pro-
vince to accelerate the organization of the moveable National
Guard's. The Major-general D. Pedro Ramirez, the new mi-
litary commandant of the province, arrived yesterday. He im-
mediately took the command of the place, and published a very
energetic proclamation.
A letter from Bayonne, of the 11th of October, says :—" Yes-
terday the roar of heavy artillery was, during. a great portion
of the day, heard in the environs of our town. This was at first
attributed to the celebration of the anniversary of the bhth of
Isabella 11. But these detonations continued too long to be
simply salutes of artillery. Some persons state that they were,
on the contrary, the effect of an attack made by the "Ang,lo-
Christinos against Orramundi and Amezagana. These two
points, and, above all, the last, give much uneasiness to the
Christinos, who are without doubt resolved on attacking them.
Letters from Durango of the 9th, state that Sanz, after having
accomplished his mission in the Asturias, proceeded with ra-
pidity against Arragou. He avoided all the Christinos divi-
sions who waited for him on the banks of the Ebro. The army
of Rodil is so demoralised that it is useless. It is said that this
general has informed M. Mendizabal that he must receive as-
sistance, or else must return to Madrid."
Another letter from Bayonne, of the 10th Oct., says, " Villa-
real is at Salinas—a reconnaissance has been made by the Eng-
lish on the side of Amezagana. The position of the Carlists on
this point was not such as to induce them to make any attack.
After a few shots had been exchanged between the advanced
posts, they retired. One hundred men of the legion of Algiers,
who went over to the Carlists at Echanez and Ortiz have beeu
ordered to Estella "
The following extract of a letter from Toledo, of the 4th inst.,
is from the Espaynol : —"General Rodil is•in this province. He
has just sent off a courier to Badajoz. The factious still occupy
the left banksa the Tagus. All the passengers are intercepted.
Two columns are pursuing them."
• Letters from Seville of the lst instant announce :-3000 in-

fantryand 500 cavalry were reviewed yesterday at Carmoua by
the Captain-General. The battalion of the national militia. of
Seville was 700 strong. This imposing force will be joined by
160 cavalry. Troops frOro the provinces of Nuelva aud of Ca-
diz, will, it is expected, shortly arrive here. Yesterday the half
battery of artillery, a squadron of cavalry, and the company:of
volunteers of Andalusia, set off for Cordova. The Captain-
General demanded yesterday of the armament junta 200 lances
and two waggons of munitions. The armament and defensive
Commission of-Seville is preparing, in concert with several other
artillery officers, a -plan, according to which Seville could'-lie
fortified. The works are already begun, and the commission
expects that it will be strong enough to repulse any attempt of
Gomez."
