them there, compel them to submit, or
bring the war to the issue of single
engagement. His system is said to be
one of indiscriminate destruction f;
neither the lives nor possessions Of sus-
pected Carlists are to be spared.
He is said to be full Of confidence;
$50 was Nina before him y and SO
strongly is this feeling shared by the
Queen, that she has postponed her de.
parture for Aranjuez, and remains in
the Capitol, that she may the sooner
receive news of his success.
In the meantime the war appears to
be carried on with frightful crueliies
on both sides. Gen. Cordova, in the
north, is said not only to have burnt
Carlist hospital, but to have executed
all the sick and wounded be found in
il. A village named Licaeroz had
been destroyed by General Oraa, and
he had issued a proclamation, threat
ening like fate to such places as
should initiate the example ofits inhab-
itants.
The head quarters Of Don Carlos at
Cugarramurdi, appear to have been
broken up by the advance of General
Oraa.
The health of General Nina is said
to be seriously impaired, and his spec.
dy dissolution was thought notimprobA
able. General Osma (royalist) died
suddenly at AIcala de Menares in Ma.
varre, early in April.
Symptoms Of agitation had broken
out at Cadiz and at Saragossa there
had been a tumult, 10 which ten monks
were slain, and several other persons
wounded. 1t appears, however, to
have arisen solely from some local
cause.
Lord Elliot, acting as mediator un.
der the instructions Of England, Russia,
Austria and Prussia, had left Bayonne
to meet Don Carlos, but We have not
been able TO ascertain bis route or pro-
gress. The following are said to be
the objects Of his mission:
In the first place to marry the eldest
son of Don Carlos to Isabella III. on
the conditions already announced by
ilhifp ltaaeapfesls, u this should hsa apaed
for six months, in order to open nego-
tiations for an arrangement under the
auspices of England and France. If
the two preceding proposals should be
inadmissable, to obtain from both par.
ties that the rights of nations shall be
tina, the rules Of war shall
not be disregarded; that the lives Of
prisoners and the existence ofthe towns
shall be protected; as Europe cannot
in this age allow Spain to exhibit /
picture Of carnage and des.
olation. Incase every proposal should
be rejected, a Congress would imme.
diately assemble, at Verona and Lay.
bach, TO regulate the future destinies of
Spain.

Accounts from Lisbon to the 12thH
of April.-Quiet and a most loyal feel4
ing toward the widowed young Queen
are represented to prevail. There had
indeed been disturbance on the 29tt5
March, but it was directed solely an

very unpopular, and whom some notD|

Prince Augustus, for the sake Of mar.

residence was beset by crowd, dssl
nouncing vengeance against him, butt
the tumult was soon appeased by theH
manly conduct Of the Duke de Terceig

OF the rioters and drove them away
like a flock Of sheep. The Duchess q

Throughout the affair, there wac nc
the least trace of Miguelite or revolu

The funeral Of the Prince took place
on the 31st Of March, 1.-The public evint

of the Queens demise, and the exped;
sncy of second marriage, has bee

AS to the succession, it is said thu
