FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.
London, Friday Evening, March "a }
Hall past seven.
A Paris letter states, that an express
had arrived there from Madrid with in
telligence ofthe PRONUNCIATION of de-
cree. by which Don Carlos, with his
family, are to quit Spain within three
DAYS. The influence of the Minister
NJ. Zca Burmudez, is stated to be on
the decline, and it was expected that
he shortly would be compelled TO re-
tire from office. Every thing al Mad
rid announced the asccndancy Of libe-
raj principles.
The letters by the Lisbon packet,
dated on the % inst. were delivered
this morning; but they contain little
news. Various constructions are put
on them in the retirement of General
Santa Martha from the chief command
of the army; but the appointment of
San Lorenzo had caused some dissatis-
faction, and it was expected that Tel
Ter Jordao, on whom it ought to have
devolved, as he was second In com
mand, would resign in consequence of
it.-Miguel was at Praga on the goth
alt.
1t is now stated that the prevalent
sickness in the north of Portugal was
not the cholera, but of less fatal ne
ture arising more from great priyations
than any other circumstance. This
packet passed Oporto on the 18th inst.
but was not able to enter, and did not
remain off more than two hours; con.
sequently brings no information from
thence; but we find that a letter from
Captain Glasscock, Of the Orestes, is
in town stating that the affair OF the
4th, mentioned yesterday, was an at
tack by the army of Miguel, not a
sortie by the troops Of Don Pedro, as
described in the first account, ami that
according to the reports from the town,
il was repelled with loss of 600 men
on the part Of Miguel. The troops OF
Don Pedro had sustained comparatlve-
" as it was said but little loss. The
Scotch corps under Major Shaw, had
suffered most; one officer is said 10
have been killed, and also every other,
with the exception Of Major Shaw, to
have been wounded. The total amount
of killed and wounded on the constltu-
tional side is given at 100; but with
regard to both accounts, there was
conceived to be some exaggeratlon.
The cholera has not increased, but
much distress is said to prevail in the
town for want Of provisions. This &C.
count is in some degree an imperfect
one, which the circumstances under
which the communications with Oporto
took place will easily explain, but there
appears no reason TO doubt the genu-
ineness of it. 1t is proper, however,
to mention, that no other letters of the
date Of the 18th inst. are in town from
Oporto. The Consol Market has de-
clined a little, and the concluding price

The sIrish Enforcing Bill" was still
struggling its way by 'acnes, through
the Committee of the Whole in the Com
mons. Five clauses only were disposed of
during the sitting of the 18th The Court
Martial clause was carried on the l6fh.
after long and animated DEBATE, aud then
only after an avowal by Mr. Stanley that
Minister, "without being asked to do so
bat from feeling of justice, had struck
GU; political offences of all kinds, and that
all cases of libel, political meetings and
matters connected with the press, had been
taken out of the bill" For the clause,
97O; aginst it, $50 THIS exclusion Of
some Of The most offensive parts of the
measure. is considered by the Liberals
as triumph, alike over the Tories and
the Ministers The following extract from
a London paper of the 2lst, shows the
progress made by the bill during the sit

Two amendments were proposed by
MIR O'Connell in the l2th clalse The
object of the first was to allow the Gov |
ernment to select as Judge Advocates to
the courts martial "any barrister of no |
less than five years standing" This was
agreed to- As the clause originally stood,
the selection was restricted to Kings
Serlents and King Counsel. The effect
OF The second amendmen, was to make
thu courts martial open courts. This al
so was agreed to, with the lemitation that
the court should ne closed while the mem
bers considered their verdict
On the motion of Mr. Stanley, the 10th
clause was so amended as 10 render If ne
cessary that warrants against persons re-
fusing to attend to give evidence should be
issued by the whole Court As the clause
stood before, any single member OF the I
