SPAIN.
The siege Of Bilboa was commenced
BY the CarliSts on the I ith. end was
pressed with such vigor, that relief was
sought by the commandant from st.
Sebastian. but only ore thousand men
rould be spared from the garrison
Zuualscarreguy vas severely wound
ed on the 18th, and resigned the com
msnd to general Erase. a rumor pre-
vailed At Bayonne on the 18th, that the
Carlists had been Defeated in a severe
engagement near Viitoria, but no sub
scqucnt accounts had been received
confirming the intelligence. The
. speedy fall Of Bilboa Is spoken Of as
almost certain. The accounts. low
ever, are very contradictory. A letter
from Paris mentions that Zumalacarrc-
guy had died under amputaiion, and
tia; the siege Of Bilboa had been rails
cd, IN consequence OF the defeat of
the Carlists near NIttoria.
The question OF Intervention as a
rational measure, by France and Eng
land, appears To be still undetermined
Important events arc depending on its
decision, If II be true, as stated in a
letter from Madrid, dated June 18th,
that IN the event OF a refusal by those
governments, the queen regent and her
! new minister Toseno have resolved 10
throw themselves into the arms of the
ultra liberals. which would be almost
eluiyalenttoa revolution.
There vas rumor tina. the new
minister Toreno had rendered his Iesig-
nation, on account Of the opposition
ne met from the ultra liberals, but il is
not confirmed.
The French government has so far
commenced active measures as TO have
despatched an order by telegraph,
from Paris to Toulon, for the departure
of the Foreign Legion from Al icrs to
Spain.
The Times saws that the refusal of
the French and English Governments
TO interfere directly. is highly saiisfac-
tory TO the Spanish people and that the
assistance To be rendered, with the in
crease Of spirit and vigor Of which il
will be the cause, will be- all-suGicient
to put an end TO the war.
