.c < gElgimegftag'g atin gTf)urgttay^ tlJoøtø. LONDON, JULY 7. THE Paris papers to Sunday inclusive have been JL received. A telegraphic despatch, dated Bay- onne, July 4 (Saturday), was posted at the Bourse in the middle of that day, stating that the army of the Queen, 20,000 strong, entered Bilboa on the 1st, at 2 p. m. No affair took place. Don Carlos had estab- lished his head-quarters at Onate." The Moniteur of Sunday contains two articles of great interest. The first is a circular, signed by the Minister at War, stating that a treaty was concluded and signed on the 28th ult. for the transfer of the Foreign Legion from the service of France to that of the Queen of Spain. The King of the French undertook further to transport the legion to such point of the Peninsula as the Cabinet of Madrid should require. The second article referred to, states that measures had been concerted between the French and British Governments for the establishment of cruizers on the coast of Spain. The cause of Louis Philippe's present alacrity in supporting the Queen of Spain, may be traced to his discovery of what occurred at a conference at the Loo, between William of Holland and a confidential agent of Don Carlos. As soon as Louis Philippe learned that Don Carlos had sought the influence of the exiled Bourbons-that the Great North- ern Powers had secretly favoured the pretensions of Henry V. to the throne of France-his eyes were opened to the danger of his position, and he at once re- solved, without taxing the Holy Alliance with the dis- covery which he had made, to adopt such measures as would effect the speedy downfall of Don Carlos. Had not the King of the French, while trusting in the good faith of the Northern Powers, declared against active intervention, there is no doubt but that he would now march an army into Spain sufficient to drive Don Carlos out of Catalonia in lesa than a month. Letters from Saragossa announce the assemblage in the town of Mallen of 17,000 volunteers of Catalonia, Valencia, and Arragon. These volunteers, under the command of the Captain-General of Arragon, are to join the General-in-Chief of the Queen's army. The city of Pampeluna is closely blockeded by the Carlists, who suffer no kind of supplies to be introduced into it. An unfortunate young woman of the Bastan, who was going to the city to see her family, was seized by the Carlists, who cut off her ears so close to the head that she died in consequence of the mutilation. The scar- city of fire-wood, charcoal, and fresh provisions, is se- verely felt in Pampeluua^ The Carlists are divided about the choice of a Commander-in-Chief in the room of Zumalacarreguy. It is generally credited that this division will have the effect of considerably weakening the insurgents. Intelligence was received at Falmouth on Saturday from Lisbon to the 24th ult. The Duke of Palmella has addressed a Circular' to the Portuguese Diploma- tists at Foreign Courts, declaring, on the part of the new Ministry, a firm adhesion to the Charter, and a determination to maintain the most religious observance of all treaties and engagements both with native subjects •-and foreigners. THE SPANISH EXPEDITION.—The 2d battalion, under the command of Major Hicks, of the 50th Foot, embarked fromtbeIsIeofDogsthisday. Owing to the great exertions and good arrangements of Col. Evans and his coadjutors, the other detachments will follow in quick succession, the 3d battalion being ordered to be in readiness for departure on Thursday next at furthest. So great is the number of officers who have served in the British army already on Col. Robinson's list, and of those who are daily making applications, that volunteers cannot even at present receive an audience. No arrangement has yet taken place for the Commissariat Department-Vxn. IRELAND.-Lord Mulgrave has directed circulars to be sent to the Magistrates, calling upon them to prevent the nsnal Orange exhibitions on the 1st and 12th inst.-The Dublin Evening Post says, The Committee to inquire into the nature and dnties of the Board of Public Works in Ire- land are still prosecuting their inquiry. There is no doubt that, in addition to the sum of500,0001. to be issued by way of loan, a grant of 50,0001. will be made for the purpose of forwarding public works in Ireland. It is understood that Government will recommeud that a sum of 76,0001. be granted for the purpose of rendering the Shannon navigable." -The distress of the peasantry in the county of Mayo con- tinues. The Herald says: Where the destitution seems to be greatest (if any distinction can be made amid such universal suffering) is in the district adjacent to Westport and Newport; and yet the exports from those ports amount on an average to about 300 tons of grain per week; and with this superabundant supply, the markets well filled, meal at lis. per cwt., and potatoes at 2fd. and 3 £ d. per stone, the great majority of the population are on the brink of absolute starvation, existing on precarious charity, on sea-weed, shell-fisb, and cabbage-leaves. The landlords, as usual, with the exception of a few in Erris, have not contri- buted a stiver to relieve their starving tenantry; and in this district they are remarkable for exacting a far higher rent than the price of agricultural produce will enable the tenant to pay." Dr. Murray, the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, has written a letter, dated the 2d instant, to Lord Melbourne, to assure his Lordship that, notwithstanding the assertions made lately at Exeter Hall, he does not approve of the doc- ttines quoted from Dens's Theology;' that he never di- rected that work to be published and that it is not the text- book for the theological conferences of the Catholic Clergy. Dr. Murray thanks God that the doctrines of Dens are now little more than the record of by-gone intolerance;' and he declares that the imputations of Messrs. M'Ghee, O'Sullivan, and their clique, are wholly devoid of any foun- dation in fact.' The announcement in Friday's Gazette, that upwards of 225,0001. (one-fourth of the actual surplus Revenue for the year) is to be applied to the purchase of Exchequer Bills and Stock, and to the repayment of sums advanced by the Bank of England, produced on Saturday a favourable im- pression on the English Funds.—The effects of the late panic in the Money Market has almost entirely subsided. The Chancellor of the Exchequer gave notice last night, that Oh Friday next he would move for an Address to the Crown, recommending the acceptance of an offer made by Henry Seymour, Esq., the Serjeant-at-Arms, to retire upon a pension of 8001. per annum, being the difference of his present salary, and that which is to be allowed to his successor. Mr. Seymour has held the office for 24 years, and wishes to retire in consequence of the declining state of his health. Earl Durham left town on Saturday for the Isle of Wight, where he will occasionally sojourn until he takes his departure for St. Petersburgh, which it is now understood will depend npon the return of the Emperor of Russia to his capital, about the end of this month. The most favourable results are expected from the Embassy of his Lordship, for judging from the success of his former mission, these expec- tations are likely to be realized to the fullest extent. It appears from a Parliamentary return, that Go- vernment paid to W. V. Landgridge, Esq., of Lewes, on 28th April, 1834, the sum of 3231.14s. 8d., towards the expenses of prosecuting the editor of the Brighton Guardian.—[This was one of the most disgraceful acts of the GREY Ministry. It was a mean attempt to curry favour with the most inveterate of their foes, the County Magistracy.]—Spectator. Ministers have conceded the appointment of a Com- mission to inquire into the state of Religion and Education in Scotland. Mr. Pond has retired from the situation of Astrono- mer Royal; and Professor Airy has Jbeen appointed to the office with a salary of 8001. a-year. Sir Lancelot Shadwell, it is stated, has been appointed Speaker of the House of Lords, Lord Denman's presence being required on the Oxford Circuit, which commences on the 16th inst., at Abingdon. The Installation of the Marquis of Camden as Chan- cellor of Cambridge University commenced on Saturday with the performance of The Messiah in St. Mary's. The Noble Marquis arrived at Trinity College on Saturday evening, and was received by the Vice-Chancellor, Master, Fellows, &c. Prince George of Cambridge left town on Saturday for Magdalene College, to attend the ceremony. The Commissioners of Excise have decided that re- tailers of Beer may send out in the same cart quantities of spirits intended for and directed to different individuals not exceeding one gallon without a permit, although in the aggre- gate above a gallon. This division, however, of the quantity into smaller divisions, will not excuse the necessity of a permit if the whole, being one description of spirits, is intended for one petsoh. The Mark-Lane Express states, that in consequence of the low price of wheat, a considerable breadth of land has this year been sown with flax and adds, that flax of home growth exceeds in value by one-third that which is imported. The loss sustained by the farming interest in the range of country between Langles, Essex, and Babraham, in Cambridgeshire, occasioned by the hail-storm, which destroyed so many growing crops in the afternoon of 9th June, is esti- mated at 10,1801. Lord Dacre intends to allow his suffering tenants a fourth of their loss; and subscriptions, further to mitigate the calamity, are being entered into by the land pro- prietors in that quarter. REFORM ASSOCIATIONS AND CONSERVATIVE CLUBS are still forming in various parts of the country: but the Tories, certainly, appear to be more active in the work than the Liberals. A curious circumstance happened last week to a pas- senger who arrived at Dover by the Fire-fly packet from Calais. In his haste to land, he left his boat-cloak behind, which, upon being taken the to Custom-house, was thought to be suspicious, and on searching, there were found 120 black lace veils neatly sewed up in it. On Thursday, the proprietors of the John Bull ob- tained a verdict, with 326/. 8s. IOd. damages, against a Mr. Rosier, who had furnished them with a libellous paragraph which was published in the John Bull, against a Mr. Chalmers. Chalmers had brought an action against the Paper, and re- covered damages and costs amounting to upwards of 3001. The Jnry were satisfied that Rosier had guaranteed the editor of the John Bull against the consequences of publish- ing the paragraph; and on that ground found a verdict for the plaintiffs. A Paris paper announces that the fete of Neuilly, which, on acconnt of the bad weather, had been put off from Sunday, May 30, is to take place on Sunday June 5. There will be a concert on the river, at 3 o'clock precisely, balls and I dicers amusements. In the evening, at 9 o'clock, a baloon k- to nke its flight, and fireworks will be Jet off."
