SPAIN. The news from Spain IS yet

SPAIN. The news from Spain Is yet
very incecisive. Don Carlos and his bro
ther Don Sebastian, with the main army
had Quilted their mountain Businesses, and
were moving southeast on the line Of the
Ebro, threate ming at the same time Cata-
lonia and Madrid. The avowed object
OF the movement was 10 descend upon
Madrid, from which, however, he is still
at a great distance, and though few
mounted brigands, like the bands oi Co
mez and Cabrera, may traverse coun-
try like Spain with great rapidly, 1t is a
very different business Tor an army with
it's naatertel. At the latest advices, he
had not succeeded in crossing the EbrO;
and ON iis banks, II was expected The
great struggle would take place. The
Queens generals were hastily following
him from the northern provinces, and on
the 20lh ult., Irbarren, with part Of her
forces, overlook him at town called HUI
esca, and attacked him. IrIbarren was
beaten off, himself wounded, and the gen.
eral commanding his cavalry killed. lr-
ribaren, in his despatch, says that the
Carss lost 400 men; but as he does not
state his own loss, it was probably more
considerable. The action, however,
seems to have arrested the expedition, tor
the two princes we're !ortifying themselves
ON the ground they occupied. When the
rest OF the Queens forces come up, we
shall probably hear Of more decisive e.
vents.
The inhabitants OF Androsin and its en-
yirons, as well as those Of Tolosa, had u
bandoned their houses, taking with them
all possible effects.
Guerilla bands have been formed on
the road from Hermann to Tolosa, in order
10 intercept the conveys. 1t is also said
that there is large quantity of ammuni-
;ion at rolosa, and which the Carlists in
tend removing upon the first appearance
of any serious movement on the part OF
:he Queens troops: mules and Wagons
are in readiness for this purpose More
than 5000 persons belonging to Tolosa
have Quilted their homes and fled to the
mountains. These details would in some
way account for the delay in Espartero's
advance upon Tolosa and Es!ella, not be-
ing in a hurry 10 venture into mountain
ous district devoid Of provisions.

that the contract had been signed for the
loan of $50, 900, ,OOOf for the Spanish Co

The Journal des Debats, in publishing
the proclamation and decree Of Don Car
los on his arrival at Arragon, dwells upon
the better policy that seemed to guide his

deration could not fail to contribute 10 his
successful progress.

On the 2lst Of May, the Cortes voted
their sittings permanent. until the elec-
ton OF new chamber.-This motion was
agreed to by 80 votes against nine, II
must be observed, in recording this cir
eunstance, that the prolessed and sole
object for which the presen, Cortes was
assembled was the settlement, Of the fu-
ture constitution Of the kingdom; whereas
there is no subject whatever within the
province, either Of Legislative or Of de-
iiberate body, which they have not exer-
