SPANS REVOLUTION.
PARAGRAPH FROM PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE

A PARAGRAPH FROM PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
We are permitted to make the following in
teresting extract from private letter written
from town in the province Of Santander,
Spain, under date of October Goth
With the exception of bands suppos ed to
amount to about three thousand men, in the
mountains of Catalonia the war is now con-
fined to the ancient kingdom or province Of
Navarro and the Basque provinces, in the
latter of which l have lived many years, and
my residence, the Hotel de Londres. in San
Sebastian, has received several shells during
the bombardment of the last three weeks, and
the small town of Irun, on the French border,
was almost totally destroyed more than year
past by the guns Of the rebels.
That part of Spain is most beautiful, COM
posed entirely Of hills, valleys and noun
tains The rocks are of limestone formation,
constantly decaying forming rich soil; so
the mountains are cultivated to their very
SUBMITS, capable of supporting numerous
population we'll. Here these simple peo-
Die live, cultivate the soil and fight, i'm
pelled by their clergy, who are not so
simple former supposing they fight
for the cause Of God as well as their
King and country. So primitive are they
that. like the Indians of our own forest, a
tribe living in valley often does not under
stand the language spoken on the other side
of the mountain; so it is that, within dis
lance of ten miles of Bilbao, the ancient CAPT.
tai and seaport, five different languages are
spoken. The country, like Wales, has never
been conquered by the Romans or other ma
tions. The Arabs were never able to pene-
trate these mountain Businesses, and at the
conclusion of the seven years war (lo40) peace
Was made by convention, not conquest.
They obtained independent rights, priv
leges, and custom house, with less rates OF
tariff and merchandise entering these prov
inces was subjected to small duty, and, pass
ing to other parts of Spain, was again charged
with the customary heavy rates. 1t is sup
posed by many that in the latter part OF No
vember the bands in Catalonia will be entirely
cong uered, and the Eastern army will be free
for the contest in the North. the government
has about 100000 troops, while the number
of the Carlists is variously estimated a: from
80, 900 to CO. 000.-Galreston Aeaos.

POLICE CHARGES.

There was considerable excitement among the
police captains yesterday because they had been sum
moncd TO appear before the Legislative Committee for
Investigating Crime The testimony OF the captains IL
to be heard to-day Arrangements have been made to
furnish Superintendent Wanc with all the testimony.
In accordance with resolution of the Police Commits
sioners the superintendent Chief Clerk awlcy and the
Counsel Of the Board are to examine this testimony
carefully and charges to be preferred by them against
members OF the force who may appear to he implicated
I'm improper acts IL IL understood that Martinots
testimony has been received by superintendent
Walling and that charges are now being prepared
from it, These charges to be heard very soon aud 1t
understood that several members OF the police have
been implicated whose names have not been made public
in this matter before. One OF the greatest drawbacks In
previous investigations has been the inability OF the
Board to compel the attendance of witnesses. II Is
stated. however that the judges OF the Supreme Court
have decided that the Commissioners have the to
grant attachments In such and the Board viii
probably test the matter soon.
