SPAIN.

Further letters from Madrid, up to the, date .of.the 16th,
attribute the discovery of the Carlist conspiracy: recently
brought to light there to a soldier of the National. Guard,
who pretending to become one of the party, learned all the
proceedings, auLat the, proper . moment. gave . the alarm to
the government. The Count of Cuba, it seems,. has not
beenarrested.
ACcounts from Bayonne of the l9thi instant,,,confirm' the
previous announcement of the 'arrival .of Pon. Carlos at
Estella on the evening of the 14th. General Espartero was
still before Estella, at the head of an imposing force. Pre-'
vious to attacking the place, he wished to take possession of
a farmhouse, called La Braze, not far from Estella,.-and de-
tached for that pur4)se a
.corps of 3,04. . ~. ,T4*.,,ii-,

including those serving in the navy'. Al the 'int-Cgs hitherto
quartered in the Ukraine, Pultava.; Thew. &c., had been
marched into the government of Ekateii oslay..These
litary movements were viewed as indications of the ulterior
designs of Russia on Wallachia and Meldavia,.and of the
necessity for forwarding reinforcements to the Caucasus.
The Russians were. moreover, carefully watching the 'pro-
gress of events, and •of their own intrigues in the east, and
(not to he taken unawares) they were deter Mined on having
it t that quarter a force or 20,000 or 25:000 men, Which they ,
c,inld land in eight days under the wails of ConStantinoplf:.
The National contains a letter from the same place (Bir•
chareet), dated the 16th instant, which ;states that `• (he
struggle in which Wallachia was engageCwirn FiAiia must
decide her fate. The Autocrat had thrown' off the mask,
