The elections were regarded as settled in Pa

the struggle, been more favorable Tor the Oppo-
sition than in the commencement. Thus we nnd
the enlightened and patriotic Arago returned
for two districts, and the impetuous Colonel
Bricoueville elected for Cherbourg. Moreover,
MN. Laffitte, Arago, Odillon Barrot, Cormenln,
and De Tracy, had been returned by eleven
colleges; six additional Opposition Deputies

which they must decline. Nevertheless the force
of the Ministry would remaif to the full as over

The weather seems to have been as intense
at Paris, as it has been in New-York. On the
2lst of June, it was at 90 3-4 deg. Fahrenheit in
the shade.

In Spain, a serious encounter took place on
the 10th of June at Erce, two leagues from Pam
peluna between the Queens troops, to thenum
Der of 5000 men, under Generals Lorenzo and
Linares, and six battaons of the insurgents OF
Navarro and Zalava. After an obstinate strug-
gle, the latter quilted the field of battle leaving
il strewed with their dead and dying. Two re-
gments Of the Carists were completely destroy
ed. and Quesada entered Pampeluna with the
CONVOY under his guard. The advanced guard
of General Rodirs army has arrived at Madrid,
on his way to the insurgent Provinces.
Ii was reported in Bayonne that Gen. Quesa-
da had been defeated in an engagement with
the insurgents on the 10Th, but the silence OF our
correspondent in Tolosa goes far towards dis
proving the rumor. Even had Quesada suffer
ed a new reverse, however, it would have done
little for the Carlist cause, as the army Of Rodil
will have arrived in the Barque province by this

rection may be, therefore, deemed at hand
