ARMY Or OBSERVATION.

By the extraordinary courier who arrived this morning at
four o'clock, I have received the royal despatch, dated on the
29th September last, by which your excellency has conde-
scended to inform me of the afflicting intelligence of the death
of our dearly beloved Sovereign, which took place on the said
day, at a quarter before four o'clock in the evening. Your
excellency has communicated to me the measures that her Ma-
jesty the Queen Regent during the minority of the Queen our
Sovereign Donna Isabella 11., has thought proper to adopt, and
to which I will minutely conform. They wilt serve me as a
guide in all that may concern the inviolable oath that I have
taken, to sacrifice my life for the defence of the legitimate
rights of our Sovereign the Queen Donna Isabella 11., a senti-
ment in which all the trooys under my command unite.
At the Head quarters of Ciudad PEDRO SARSFELD.
Rodrigo, 3d Oct. 1833.
To his Excellency the Minister Secretary of War.
BOURDEAUX, OCT. 16.—The diligence from Madrid has just
arrived. On its departure the capital of Spain does not enjoy
that tranquillity which the liberal papers wish the partisans of
the Queen to believe.
. .

Tl►e Christinos dare not, even backed by power that protects
them, walk about without shame, and in the countenances of
the people arc the marks of contempt and hatred for the usurp-
ation.

It was reported at Madrid that Don Carlos would soon arrive
at Bilboa ; the Biscayans have sent to him in Portugal a
steamer to convey him to Biscay. The passengers in the dili-
gence confirm this.
There have been sent from Madrid two regiments of the
royal guard to oppose the general insurrection in Estreinadura,
which had broken out. in several points in favour of Don
Carlos. There is no doubt but that the soldiers will join the
legitimists, as the royal guard, we are assured, will not fight for
the little Queen.

The same travellers say, that on the whole of the way from
Madrid to Irun there is a fermentation contrary to the interests
of the young Queen; but nevertheless the order and discipline
among the royalist volunteers will not allow any excess.
By this time Don Carlos must have been proclaimed at Bur-
gos, where the Carlists of Vittoria had sent 2,000 volunteers on
20,040 men who assembled on the Basque provinces. By this
means they will hasten at Burgos and Old Castille the general
recognizance of the King. There have also been some forces
sent against General Castanos, to dislodge him front St. Se-
bastian.

The regiment of the Queen No. 2, quartered at Tolosa, does
not seem very favourable to the usurpation. The carbineers
of the coasts and froutiers present themselves iu crowds to the
Royalist authorities at Vittoria.

I have iu my hand several French journals whose tenor, in
respect of us,* is laughable or worthy of pity. One must he
blind not to see that the well wishes of the whole of Spain arc
for Don Carlo; and that it is impossible for a handful of ambi-
tious persons to force the acceptance of revolutionary principles
in lieu of national institutions.
Let us settle our affairs ourselves, and if any have the teme-
rity to interfere, we will show them that we nre the same men
who knew how to combat and vanquish for uur rights and inde-
pendence, the most redoubtable army in the world.
