LARUIIIIIA. and OZCARIZ, who are well known for their exploits during the last civil war. The CaptainGeneral left Sebastian on November 2 in pursuit of them. The troops quartered at Vera have been ordered out, as well as a detachment of Custcmhouse officers.  MADRID BOLA, Nov. s.—The Three per Cents. were done at 26 9-16, at fifty days; the Five per Cents. at 151 for paper ; the Debt without Interest, at 5i ; and the Coupons at 11 for cash.  We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. We yesterday announced the fact that the Messrs. ROTIISCIIILD had contracted for the new loan in the Three per Cents. at 754. The following is the account given, by Galignani's Messenger of Wednesday afternoon, of the circumstances attending the bidding : " The adjudication of the loan of 250 millions, as authorised by the Bill of Aug. 8, 1847, took place today, at twelve o'clock, at the Hotel of the Minister of Finance, Rue de Rivoli. The room in which the proceedings took place was crowded to excess long before the hour appointed to commence. When the lion. Minister had taken his seat, he briefly intimated for what purpose the day's meeting was ordered, and then called on M. Calinon, the Secretary of the .Department of Finance, to read the conditions of the adjudication, which state :—That the payment of the 250 millions should be effected in twentyfive months from Nov. 22, 1847 ; that a first instalment of 12,500,000 f. should be delivered on that day ; a second of 12,500,000 f. on Dec. 22, 1847 ; a third of 5,000,000 f. on Jan. 7, 1848 ; and all the rest, each amounting to 10,000,000 f., on the 7th of each month, down to Nov. 7, 1849, on which dray the last instalment was to be paid, &e. The Hon. Minister then laid on the table a sealed packet, containing the minimum price below which no tender could be accepted, and called on the persons wishing to contract to hand in their tenders. Baron J. de Rothschild then placed a sealed packet on the table, no other person following his example. When the dock struck half-past twelve the Hon. Minister proceeded to open the sealed packet of M. de Rothschild. He first read the receipt from the Caisse de DepOts et Consignations for a sum of 10,000,000 f., caution-money paid in according to the conditions. He next read the tender itself, which offered to take the loan of 250 millions at the rate of 75f. 25c. This announcement was received with hisses by a number of persons, who considered the price too low, whilst others cried out, C'est un tres-beau prix.' The Hon. Minister then stated that as the rate just named was above the minimum price contained iu his sealed packet, the loan was adjudged to MM. de Rothschild. Except the immediate friends of MM. de Rothschild, we saw none of the bankers or capitalists of Paris present."  The Conservateur of Wednesday pays the follow ing tribute to the memory of Count BRESSON  " This sad intelligence plunges not only in mourncng a respectable family, but it affects all men who value services rendered to one's country, for no man has served Prance better than Count Bresson. What was the cause of this catastrophe ? They who knew the Count, who could appreciate the strong affection he bore to his father, his wife, to his brothers, who know how much he was a slave to his duties, are obliged to think of the events of the last few years, and to call to mind the brain fever which nearly caused his death in Spain. After that terrible illness he was subject to intermittent attacks which affected his brain. These attacks, however, never led to the supposition that any such frightful denouement could take place as that now announced. What occurred in this last and fatal night ? A Marseilles journal asks, Is it an assassination? Is it a suicide ? No one knows. All that we can say is, that, in a last letter to bits father, M. Bresson, after having expressed his tender affection adds :—" I feel that I am more a man of the north than of the south. This beautiful climate excites my nervous system to excess." We must, then, at least wait for certain news before pronouncing on the real causes of the unhappy end of a man of the highest distinction, who, united to the truest and most profound social feelings, the most eminent qualities of the citizen." The Union Monarchique says—  " Raised while still young to the highest positions in diplomacy, loaded with favours by a Government for whose advantage he recently negotiated the Spanish marriages, M. Bresson in destroying himself can have only yielded to a spirit of despair—the cause of which we vainly seek for. We deplore his melancholy end. Whatever may have been the political acts of his life, we cannot but do homage to his eminent abilities and the admirable personal qualities with which he was endowed. his death is a great loss to our diplomacy, as it is a subject of inconsolable grief to a most honourable family.' A rumour prevailed in Paris on Tuesday to the effect that Friburg had been taken by assault by the troops of the Federation, after a most destructive engagement. No great credit, however, was attached to the rumour, and no intelligence confirming it had been received up to Wednesday afternoon. The Debats says—" Our letters from Berne of the 6th speak of the measures taken by the French Ambassador in behalf of the young Frenchmen wrho have the misfortune to be in the College of Friburg. M. DE Bois LE COMTE, after having conferred with General DUFOUR, has sent M. DE MassioNAc, an attache of the embassy, to bring those young people to the hotel of the embassy at Berne. For this purpose the General had delivered a safe conduct to M. DE MASSIONAC, who was to return to Berne in the evening of the 7th. Tkis attaché had also been charged to bring back the young Spaniards who are in the college. Mr. PEEL had also sent an attache of the Legation to bring the young Irishmen to Berne.
