said thus much, let me hope you will be convinced of the
necessity fur public meetings. to enforce these vital and
important matters on the notice of an adminis-

encounter, than vigorous determination to overcome,

landed interest. And, notwithstanding the fears of
some and the cold indifferesee of others, let me conjure

its Legislature.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE FROM SPAIN:

Extract of a Letter frootMondragon, Monday, Sat
18.—On descending at the Needs, or hotel, bum I
found it filled with soldiers of the Constitution, who base
just marched in here after *traction, which they bid the
day before yesterday with a party of the " Army of the
Faith," or rather " the factious." as they call them,
near Villa Real. between this place and Bilbao, and
about seven leagues from hence. The Constitatiooal
Army numbered five handled men under the command
of the Political Chief of San Sebastian ; the factions bad
about an equal number. After fighting for about two
hours and a half, sixty of the factions were killed and
takes pristmers, and the rest lied to the inonstaiss.
The soldiers here are in great spirits. Their whale oo-
eepatioa is relating the resell of the kettle, which they
do with a juvenile air of triumph, and in singing nags
of victory. In some of these a number of them join in
chorus, and their harmony is by no means napielming.'
There is on originality in Spanish music,aod a clawiller
which ever renders it interrsting. The *sag, Wail
now singing in my ears, is extremely animated. AR
now and then a solemn movement that rosaiodo o,

Our route hitherto was through Villafrases,Vlßatesio
sod Vergers. The Villareal, through which we passadi
is net that near which the recent action was fought. Ai
we were passing through a villegs near Villareal. a erowd
of boys gathered renal the•roiture, and cried ott
peatedly nee k Coneeitetioa! rive! Five! Wise
a oosol way. of begging a few Seel, which seemed 1 bell
their ptinmpal object; but upon one of the passeogers
I trying out Vies el Rey! they shouted its—so! nos Isr;
Oinatitittiox ! To try his principle, one of the seen-1
leers offered a sous to a boy if he woad exclaim Viva el
Rey! To do him jostice:he refused to do so. and re-
jected the offer. This was the first place that I observed
any signs of enthusiasm in f f the Constitution.
