July
The most important news from the continent
relates to the affairs Of Spain, and the doubtial
movements Of Don Carlos. Whether he is in
Spain or in ENGLAND, nobody appears to know.
We give some extracts on this heal below. In
the House Of Commons On The DIST Jolly, Lord
Palmerston, in reply TO inquiries from Ar. Young
and Col. Evans, admitted that there was reason
to believe that Doa Carlos was in Spain, but
added that Government had no authentic intclli-
gence Of the fact.
The British Parlianchtis proceeding with the
various measures Of reform, which was left I'M
finished BY Earl Gray's administration Of which
the amendment Of the Poor Laws, the modifca
ton Of Capital Punishments, and the improve
mcut Of the condition Of Ireland, are the princi-
pal
SPAIN.-There seems 10 be no longer

Spain, and according to bis organs in Pa
ris, he is Immediately to march on Ma.

His presence in Spain, and this sort Of or

The journals in the interest OF Don Car
los are naturally much elated with his
success, and they speak of Rodil's army
being disaifected, and of the further sue
cess Of Don Carlos as assured. How the
contest may turn out it is impossible to
conjecture, though, from the charge now
urged against MIR. Jauge. that of mspris
on of treason in having contributed TO lie.
Wy war on an ally Of France, il seems not
unlikely that France, and, we presume,
Portugal, will Immediately offer their as
sistance 10 opposing Don Carlos. The
letters from Madrid say that the alarm as

AdVices had been received from Madrid
TO the 9th of July inclusive, at which time
all the apprehensions that had been indul-
ged in OF visitation of the cholera bad
subsidized. The project Of assembling the
the Cortes at Scgoyla was abandoned, and
that body would meet at the capital on the
9th, TO which place the Queen would re.
turn on the 22d.
The Memorial B0rdclais Of the 10th inst
continues to express doubt Of the truth of
the rumors circulated on the frontier re
latiYe to the arrival of Don Carlos in
Spain, g but added it, we have Just re-
ceived news which would seem calculated
to remove all doubt on the subject. A
mercantile house of this town received
yesterday from correspondent in Lon
don, a letter of the 10th, in which is the
| following passage-'I have Just left Don
! Carlos, after having had a long confer
euce with him. After this we think that
great mlatTust ought to be entertained OF
the versions circulated, probably by those
who are interested in the cause Of the
/ Spanish Carlists. Don Carlos not having
the faculty of uhiquity. could not be in
| Bayonnc on the . tn, and in London on the
! 10th" The Indicator, on the other hand
regards Don Carlos's presence in Spain
as confirmed, but contrary TO all former
statements, allirms that he landed from
the United Kingdom steamer at port
near Bayonne, and thence proceeded to
Spain passing through Bayopne, on the
ninth.
After all there is so much contradiction
4 IN all the accounts, that we decline ex-
pressing any decided opinion on the sub
ject, The Morning Herald seems to con
firm the Memorial Dordelais, by the fol
lowing paragraph. "There are persons
of credit who unhcsitatlngly affirm that
Don Carlos was to their knowledge in the
metropolis up to the middle of the day,
Il Thursday, the 10th inst" The general
opinion entertained seems to be that if
Don Carlos has not proceeded to Spain,
; be has been personated by some individu
; al who has gone thither in bis name, for
some purpose connected not unlikely with
stock jobbing transactions.
STILL Information TO the Goth july
has been received at New York, from Liverpool
1t appears from the Continental Intclligenccr,
that Don Carlos is really in Spain. No action
/ had taken place between the forces Of the oppo-
sing parties.

OF the hurricane at Bayonnc and vicinity,
