Governor of the Castle, and eventually dispers

no serious disturbances. The King, through
out these trying circumstances, has shown him.
self worthy of the high office to which he has
been called. Though himself the creature OF
popular choice, he has not been intimidated by
popular clamor, but has distinguished between
the sense Of the nation and the noise of factious
dlscord He has refused to accept the resigna-
ton of two of his Ministers, who wished TO re-
lieve him of the unpopularity of their names,
and other measures, lest it should seem unbe-
coming, or yielding to the mob, and has placed
himself at the head of the National Guard, de-
termned to enforce the respect due to his of
tce at all events. The King has triumphed,
and the popular party is weakened but the ad.
vantage of a victory, which, under other cir
cumstances, Monarch might take for enlarg-
tlng his prerogative, cannot be apprehended in
these, as the National Guards, whilst they con-
stitute his strength, are also guarantee that
he does not abuse his power. Upwards of 200
of the mob are in the hands of the police, and
amongst them is said to be member Of the fam
lily of Prince Metternich. 1t was said that
agents of the exMonarch were the principal
promoters of these disturbances. The National

Paris, Oct. 81. About 10 o'clock, numerous
groups formed in the Court of the Palas Royal.
They cried, Death to the Ministers! VEN
geance" The King descended, without escort,
land in an everyday dress, and spoke TO the per-
sons round him. We are assured that he said,
y +" Vengeance never, justice always. If it is
! necessary, will put i:iyself at the head of the
National Guard to make the laws respected-I
am the friend of liberty, but detest licentious
ness. Let good citizens retire the law shall
be executed, and Justice shall do her duty"
Lively acclamations followed these words. The
crowd dispersed almos: Immediately.
In SPAIN, it appears that some movements
have taken place of n revolutionary character.
! The Constituencies under Valdes were as
sembhng on the frontiers, and, as will be learn
! ed from the following extract from Paris pa
/ per, small body had entered the kingdom.
Correspondents of the London papers seem to
receive the accounts of the unlucky attempt
with great distrust, and intimate that matters
| nave not been so uniavorable TO the revolution
Paris
have people believe.
One account gives the following particulars
of the state of affairs which is said in one Of the
papers to be correct, notwithstanding contrary
reports. Nina and other Spanish Chiefs have
entered the Spanish territory. Valdes still
preserves his position at Zugarramnndi Forty
men of his column returned to the French ter
ritoryto provide themselves with arms they
stood in need of, and which they could not pro-
cure in Spain.
Gurrea was 10 have entered on the 18th by
way of laca. Milans, Baiges, erase, and San
Miguel, were to have entered Catalonia at the
same time.
From the Paris Courier
There is much talk at the Exchange OF q tel
egraPhic despatch, sent from Bayonne by the
Sub Pretect, announcing in substance, that the
corps of Gen. Valdes, amounting TO 800 or 900
men, had been surprised and completely defeat
ed, so only having escaped to take refuge in
France. 1t is probable that there is some ex-
aggeration in this account, and that it has been
got up to favor some speculation in the public
funds. a...
The truth appears to be- that on the 10th,
yaldes occupied the villages of Urdache and
! Zugarramund. Eight hundred royalist troops
were four leagues distant and made no offensive
movement. On the nth. skirmish took place
between Valdes and the royalst troops: about
30 Of the Constituencies fled to tho French
territory, which they quilted, to rejoin
their companions at Zugarramund.
The following article being later than the
above, seems 10 put the matter at rest.
PaTtS, Oct. %. Tied by diplomatic engage
ments, shrinking from the idea that its conde-
scenton might occasion civil war in a neigh
boring country, which it would be difficult to
check afterwards, in the midst Of the efferves-
cence Of passion amongst the various parties,
| the French authorities had given orders to stop
the refugees on this side of the frontiers. But
! all these means to save them from the blows
that were to strike them were useless. The
/ town of Bayonne had almost experienced an in
\ surrection of its inhabitants, and of the Nation
al Guards, against the authorities both civil and
military.
The gate of the Marine Promenade was open
ed, the Spanish Liberals precipitated themselves
through that outlet, went to form junction at
Vile Franche, and on the 18th, crossed the
frontiers at Ainhue, led by Valdes and Vigo,
from 800 to 900 men in number. Events have
sadly confirmed both our antcipations and our
fears. After some success, which nflamed
their hopes, this troop has been surprised and
destroyed. A telegraphc despatch from Bay
onne states that scarce fifty men have escaped
from this disaster.
The defeat of Valdes is confirmed by the news
received day, but it is said that Nina is de-
termined upon entering Spain in order to col
lect the remnants of the division of Valdes, or
to penetrate still farther into the country, with
more numerous and better disciplined forces, or
finally to counter balance, by this demonstra-
ton. the moral effect produced by first check.
Valdes (who said to have been taken or
killed. succeeded in making his escape, with
few of his men. 1t is to be hoped that this
chief will, for the future, yield to the old mill
tary experience and personal consideration of
Nina.
