FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE

SPAIN.
The Journal de Paris, of February the 11th, contains the
following bulletin :
4. Five battalions of Carlists having again blockaded Elisond ()-
the Col. Ocana came -on the 7th to the reiief of the town with
Lt}JJ men., After an attack which brought upon him all the
etforts of, the besiegers, ho took his position in the village of
Ziga, where he is waiting reinforcements sent by Miva.
" On the 10th an avant-guard of 330 men hid arrived at the
frontiers of the Aldudes.
" They speak of an affair Ohl took place on the 4th, at
Arquijas, between Lorenzo and Zuinalaearreguy, and as to the
result of which one cannot as yet form an opinion, since up to
the present time both parties claim the victory."
Thus the siege of- Elisondo continues. Col. Ocana has been
obliged to retreat to Ziga, and there he is waiting for reinforce-
ments.

With respect to the Arquijas affair, -the following is the only
account I can give you of the matter, and which I believe to be
tolerably -correct. The convoy, escortA by El Pastor, was, as
I announced two days since, attacked in the environs of Bergara
by the roaylists. On the 33, the affair remained uncertain.
On the 4th, Jaureguy and Espartero were driven back to Villa
Franca. On the sth, they, fought again. Lorenzo, mentioned
in the bulletin of the French government, which I have just
given, arrived to-heir the other generals; but the reinforce-
ments which ho brought with him only delayed the complete
defeat of the Christinos which followed. Zumalacarreguy was
there in person, and the victory, which was a long time disputed,
was at length gained by him. Letters from Bayonne, and
from the frontiers, state that on the 6ththe Christinos were com-
pletely defeated, and that all- the convoy was in the power of
Zumalacarreguy. An official bulletin had not been drawn up
at the moment the news was sent off, as really the Carlist
General had not had time. The ministerial bulletin only
speaks of the affair of the 4th, and not of those of the 2d and 3d,
or of the continuation and conclusion on the sth and 6th.
The following bulletin, dated -San Esteban, 4th February,
and published by the " Guieune," attests the sang-froid of Don
Carlos, and the prodigious rapidity of Zumalacarreguv, who, at
the distance of but a few days,. attacked the Christinos on the
frontiers of Castille, and then at the very gates of France.
"Don Carlos was on the 29th of January at Autonana, and
on the 30th at Apallamez, half a league from Maesto.
"On the 31st Zumalacarreguy endeavoured to gain possession
of the fort of Maesto, but was compelled to abandon it, in con-
sequence of an incorrect manmuvre of his artillery. Don
Carlos with his staff went round the fort, from which the firing
was directed against him during the whole time, but no one was
shot, though the horse of Don Carlos, Cruz Mayor, by his side,
was wounded; The column of the Christinos, which arrived on
the 3d instant in Bosten, arriving by the French territory, after
an hour of repose at Elisondo, retumned to the route of Pampe-
lune, and took with them 2UO wounded or sick soldiers from the
fort of Mesericorde."

At Saragosa there has been an ultra-liberalmovement, similar
to that at Madrid. Letters from Saragossa, dated the 4th inst.,
have arrived at Paris. They state that on the 2d inst. a portion
of the population rose, proceeded to the quarter of the city in
which a bust of the late King Ferdinand VII. was placed, re-
moved that statue and destroyed it; and placed in its stead the
stone of the constitution of 1820, amidst the cheers and bravos
of the,multitude. Although these proceedings took place on
the2d instant, still the local authorities of Saragossa had not
dared to remove the stone or tablet of the constitution of 1820,
but had even tamely submitted tosee the bust of Ferdinand VII.
the father of Isabella and the husband of the Queen Regent,
treated with much marked contempt and insult. This is indeed
the progress of the revolution, and the position of the Queen
Christina is indeed as difficult as can well be imagined.

FRANCE.
PARIS, Feb. 12.—M. Lafitte has addressed a letter to the
French journals, in which he has poured forth all his griefs
against the Bank of France and his royal creditor. He has
male out his accounts and his balance sheet, and shows that if
time were Allowed him he could pay all, he owes to those who
now sue him.

- The Courrier Francais informs us. that the resolutions of the
German Diet, relative to the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, have
been communicated to the King of Holland. By these resolu-
tions it has been resolved that a continuance of the statu quo of
May, 1833, is impossible. The Courrier adds, that the King of
Holland has, nevertheless, resolved on preparing fur all con-
tingencies, by keeping his troops on a war footing.
The Courrier Francais informs us that the Austrian, Prussian,
and Dutch governments are making claims of old debts due to
those countries from France. I think the Courrier is mistaken.
The French journals inform us, that the day before he left
Paris, Lord Brougham ordered a hackney coachman to drive
him to St. Pelagie, as he wished before going from this capital
to visit the republican writer Armand Carrel. The coachman,
however, took him to the St. Pelagie for debt, instead of fur
offences, and as Lord Brougham had not sufficient time left to
proceed from one end of Paris to the other, his visit to Armand
arrel did not take place. _

ITALY.
We give the subjoined extract from the Augsburyh Gaiette
without comment:—

FitoN.riuusop ITALY, Jan..2o.—According to accounts
which are worthy of credit the Austrian troops will evacuate
by the first of May the positions which they have hitherto
occupied in the Roman States, at which time the French will
probably leave Ancona. In fact, the further presence of foreign
troops in the papal dominions seems to be of no use, that is, if
they are to preserve public tranquillity; for if the people are
not perhaps entirely satisfied with the government the revolu-
tionists have lost all courage, since they have become con-
vinced that they cannot depend on any assistance from abroad.
In general the appearance of affairs in Upper Italy is extremely
pacific. In the Sardinian States the complements of all the
regiments, except the guards, have been considerably reduced.
The number of horses for the cavalry, which are fur the most
part furnished by Germany, is considerably less than of late
years. Lastly, the regiments comprising the Austrian army
in the kingdom of Lombardy and Venice, which have hitherto
been on the war establismeut, send home the men who have
served their time, and we do not yet hear of any 'intention of
filling up the vacancies by fresh men. It is even conjectured
that if the tory ministry in England should be consolidated,
which must soon appear, the whole of the Austrian army in
Itally will be placed on the peace establishment.
