SaturtJau to ifMottftagg* Uoøtø. T LONDON, SEPT. 13. HE French papers to Thursday do not supply any satisfactory intelligence from the seat of war be- Yo,,d the Pyrenees. In the Bordeaux papers of the 8.th it is said that the statu quo continues along the line of the French frontier." Don Carlos was seen on the 4th on the high road to Villabona, proceeding to- wards Biscay. Zumalacarregui was on the 3d at Enlate. "ft the 6th Rodil was in the pursuit of Don Carlos. Jaureguy had reached Vera on the 4th with a corps of 2400 men. He was in the pursuit of a body of2000 in- surgents, who made a precipitate retreat from Lesaca m the night of the 3d, on Jaureguy's approach.—The general belief is that the cause of Don Carlos was des- perate. His health is said to suffer very considerable jroxn the fatigues of the life he has been leading since ^l8, afriyal in Spain. The intelligence direct from padrid is confined to the proceedings of the Chambers. f *1/0.UUnittee of Peers had laid their report of a Bill of Attainder against Don Carlos on the table. It re- amended that that Prince and his heirs should be ver_ excluded from the throne of Spain. The Cham- er declared also that those of its Members who should K' IJ1 a £ *ven time, have taken their seats in it, should. be declared to have forfeited their rights as Vn?18 • of Deputies a petition for a ■oill of Rights was carried against the Ministers by a Majority of 71 against 38.—The Finance Committee had not made their report. The capital was perfectly tranquil. The news from Lisbon is important. The Duke of Bragaliza has been confirmed by the Cortes as Regent. The question was discussed in the Chamber of Depu- tes on the 25th ult. and was carried almost unanimous- ly, there being only five against it, whilst the numbers for it were 90. It was discussed by the Peers on the 28t11, and agreed to. The withdrawal of the paper mo- ney and establishing ofmetallic currency measure was also passed unanimously by the Deputies, with some alterations approved of by Ministers, such as extending the time for all private and public transactions pre- 'nous to the 23d of July last to the 1st of January 1838; the metallic currency commencing, however, September as originally intended; also doing away with the Wause relative to the admission of sovereigns and Spanish dollars as current coin, at the rate of 4120 reis and 870 reis. This measure was also passed by the Peers, and received the Royal Assent. On the 1st of Septem- ber the Message from the Regent relative to the Queen's Carriage came on for discussion in the Chamber of De- puties, when the unanimous vote of that House was in iavour of the opinion of the Committee, recommending t -1 the sanction of her Majesty's marriage with any Foreign nnce, provided it be with the consent of the Regent, her father. It is surmised that the Duchess of Bra- SaJl_za's brother, the Duke of Lichtenberg, will be the individual. The Regent, in virtue of his authority has created 24 new Peers, and consequently Ministers will now expect to carry every measure in the Upper which be sanctioned by the Lower House. It was well known that the old Peers were resolved to thwart and neutralise the progress of every beneficial measure, and so far to interrupt the march of affairs as to propose the suspension of the sale of all national and church pro- perty by public sale, officially announced in every gazette published. All the plate which Miguel had been hoarding up in Elves, as well as the part of that found in tne convents, &c., which had been deemed superfluous, after providing the neighbouring churches with what ™eY wanted, is now undergoing the process of coining the Mint with the utmost possible expedition. 0" the llth ult., the Ursuline Convent at Charles- town, United States, was attacked by a mob, and burnt down, in consequence of a report that a young lady, Placed in the establishment as a candidate for the veil, ad been secretly abducted, and was not to be found "y her friends. The terrified nuns escaped from in- jury by flying into the garden but all their property Was destroyed. The value of the buildings is esti- mated at 20,000 dollars, and the furniture at as much Wore. Fears were entertained that some measures of retaliation would be adopted by the Catholics (a great many Irish); but, by the exertions of their Bishop, Dr. Fenwick, they were kept quiet. The authorities and principal inhabitants met, and denounced the base and cowardly outrage, and declared their resolution to protect the Catholics, and to use every exertion to bring the guilty to justice. Their Majesties came to town on Wednesday, and th ^ee 0'clock the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Officers of e Corporation, were introduced to the Throne-room and presented an Address of Congratulation to the Queen f nr?d 00 the Throne, and attended by her Household in h dresses) 011 her safe return to this country.

This is th i Order of the Horseshoe," and it is common for e donor to give a large one with his own name stamped upon it, and often gilt. There is one over the seat of the seat of the Judge in the Assize Hall which is of very curious Workmanship. t, THE CHOLERA.—A physician of Darlington, Dr.Pea- has addressed a letter to the editor of the Medical wiarterly Review, in which he invites the profession to treat e malignant cholera with single grain doses of calomel, fre- quently repeated; and as an earnest of the reality of his be- lief in the efficacy of this treatment, Dr. P. adds, "that if any two respectable practitioners will make full and patient trial of it, he will be bound to forfeit a sum of money to any Public charity in every instance in which it fails."
