ewe.' for some days on the banks of the Tagns, until he
should pass that river to proceed on Truxillo and attark
the Comoitratienal troops of Estremadnra. On the 29th of
serte,,:bee he karmd that the Consriintionalists were
moving' on the Tagus, and he marched immediately with
the l.t regiment of Hussars and the Ist Light.
In the evening he arrived on the Titens, and was informed
that the Cunstirotionaliats had been endeavouring to pass it,
and 11..1 been reprised by Gen-ral Queoada's advanced
genial stationed at Alto ford. Next day the General was
by the 2.1 battalion of the 7th Light. and the 7t It
regiment of Horse Closssenrs. He ordered the river to he
passed, which was overrated by the cavalry and the artil-
lery at the ford, and by the 714 Light by the pontoon.
The enemy occupied a valley with a very narrow anti rapid
outlet, the ill fence of which was easy. The General hav:ng
cans-d this position to be turned by the Voltigeurs of the
7th, the enemy did not attempt to maintain it, and the
brigade. after driving before them a few pros, debauched
into the ext.nsive plain on the road to Trnxillo.
For the first time since the opening of the campaign,
the brigade had the satisfaction of seeing the enemy ranged
in miler of battle in the plain. General Palencia bad
drawn np in the plain eight fine .quallrons, consisting of
cuirass:pro and heavy cavalry. His right was protected by
high and preripitons heights, where he had posted a consi-
derabl- number of infsntry in ambuscade, among the almost
inarre.sible rocks. On !.is left be had two battalions of
infantry protected by a deep ravine, end three pieces of
artillsry defended the front of his line. In this position
he offered battle to I ieneral Larochejaquelin.
Emboldened by the ottperierity of his noinhers, and per-
suaded that our light cavalry could not compete pith
his riiir.s.iers and heavy cavalry, he had forgotten that he
had to do with French...re,

Ifeneidl Larucliejaqu-lin,liacing reconnoitredthc enemy's
n, ordered Colonel Lambe! to carry with the greatest
celerity the heights which covered his right. The Colonel
executed this order wills rue•. vigour and promptitude, that
notwithstanding the extreme difficulties of the ground, he
sown vained the summit of the position in which the info!).
try in ambuscade kept up a close fire. Though he hail at
first only about a score of cnrl•ineers with him, he made
them charge the enemy, clambering over rocks a and they
pot tn Hight a whole bsitalion, by which they had for a
moment been almost surrounded.

General Larochej aquelin viewed the field of battle with
an att-nt%',• eve, and was waiting for the 7th Light becom-
iog disposeable, that he might direct it against the enemy's
left 11 ink, while lie, probably impitient of inaction, broke
his order of battle, and int-rued in columns to advance to
the attack through a confined position. The General per.
ceiving his manastivre, by which the enemy lost the supe-
riority of the extension of. hi (lin not hesitate to order
an immediate charge. The Constitutional cavalry engaged
with great order and coolness ; they relied on their cniras-
Ple't.. Their gals s were erosion, and the fighting was man
to man. Colonel Sitnioneci, of the Ist Hussars, and Colonel
Wimpffen, of the 7th Chasseuts, charged at the head of
their regiments with all the vigour and intrepidity which
belongs to Frenchmen. The Lancers had orders to knoi k
off the cuirassiers' helmets, in order that they might be
sabred on the head. The Consti ietional cavalry, unable to
resist the valour of the French regiments, turned round,
was pursued, sabred and completely routed, with the loss of
one piece of cannon, one cassoon, and a number of killed
and prisoners.
Wille this was passing in the plain. Colonel Lambot
rallied his regiment on the tirst height which be had
carried, and posted Commandant de Biraocourt with his
battalion in •.e and in observation. He afterwards
pushed forward with his first battalion, and with the
bayonet drove the enemy's infantry successively from a
second and third position similar to the first. The enemy
defended the ground foot to foot behind the rocks, and
did not abandon them till the moment that our troops
surmounted them by climbing. At this point the enemy
had the Sth and 24. h battalions of the Line, and a battalion
of Grenadiers and Voltigenis, who made the principal
defence. Finally, driven to the extremity of the mountain
which terminates by a rapid declivity and steep rocks, the
Constitutionalists threw themselves into the plain in a state
of complete rout, after losing a great number in dead and
prisoners.
The capitulation of San Sebastian consists of 17
article-
Art. I. The fortress of San Sebastian and the citadel of
IA filots shall be delivered to the French troops on the 3d
of October. The garrison shall mach out with the
honours of war, drums beating, colours flying, and shall
lay down their arms on the glacis.
2. The Governor, the garrison, the staff of the fortress
and of the citadel, and that of the corps; the superior
officers, the sobs...erns, the sub-oflicris, and soldiers, shall
be prisoners of war, and shall be condoeted to Fr.onee by
French troops, who shall assist them, and take care that
they are in no way insulted during the fettle to the French
territory.
There is nothing remarkable in the other articles, except
the 10th, by which the garrison is allowed a covered
waggon which is to proceed to the French territory with-
out being examined or detained on any pretext whatever.
The officers are allowed to retain their swords, horses,
and baggage; the troops of the line, militia, volunteers,
ke. their knapsacks.
Pasts, OcT. 15.—" The news of the deliverance of the
King of SPAIN has been communicated to all the Prefects
by the medium of the telegraph ; and these functionaries
immediately transmitted it to the authorities and inha-
bitants under their jurisdiction, by the most rapid con-
reprice. It is impossible to describe the effect which
this happy news has simultaneously produced throughout
France. •
The stones destined for the triumphal arch, without the
barrier of L'Etoile, and which were scattered about in the
vicinity, are now being collected near the structure. Several
workmen are even employed in clearing the ground at the
basement for the erection of the scaffolding which required is
for its completion."
The Pilele says' that " the Hotel of the British Ambas-
sador was not illuminated last Sunday; and it is added,
that his Excellency did not assist at any of the ceremo.

Fusels/var. Sm. 10.—Letters from Odessa of the
22d September say, they have there accounts from Constan-
tinople of the 16th, according to which, people were very
imAtient to see whether the Porte would actually realise
the concessions, made in the conference of the 30th of
August, by the Reis-Effendi to Lord ,STRANGFORD. In
general, however, it was believed that the Divan will
perform what the Reis-Effendi bas promised ; the entrance
of the two Emperors having excited considerable sensation
in Constantinople. and we are convinced that these conces-
sions will suffice to restore the diplomatic relations between
the Porte and Russia. The government continues to
spread reports, as usual, of dissensions among the Weeks.
Meantime the same barbarous warfare continues, and in
