-& ft&letmegnag'g aitti Cfmtgttag'g flostg. LONDON, MARCH 22. THE Paris journals to Sunday inclusive have been JL received. The Chamber of Deputies was en- gaged, during the whole of its sitting on Friday, in discussing the proposition of a supplementary grant of 500,000 francs (20,0001.) in favour of the Polish and Italian Refugees residing in France. The sum pre- viously voted to them, and which has turned ont short of taeir wants, was 2,500,000 francs (100,0001.) The supplementary grant was ultimately assented to by a verylarjje majority.—The King of the French has de- cided against any intervention in the affairs of Spain, notwithstanding the remonstrances of the Foreign Mi- nister. Thus the system of wholesale robbery, and massacre carried on by the Carlists for two years is to continue; unless England take measures for clearing the Basques of the Pretender and his ruffianly adhe- rents. The Constitutionnel gives some particulars of the late engagement at Orduna, between the Carlists under Eguia and the Queen's troops under General Espartero. It appears that the engagement was brought about by a movement on the part of Eguia, the object of which was to prevent a junction between the troops of Cordova and Espartero. The movement, however, did not tend to the desired result, Eguia having been unable to maintain his ground at Orduna, where the engagement took place. He was defeated, or at least compelled to withdraw, and the junction be- tween the two corps of Cordova and Espartero was therefore effected. The Carlists are said to have left on the field of battle 600 killed and wounded, and to have lost besides 150 men, who were made prisoners. This engagement is represented as the most serious of any that have occurred between the Carlists and Christinos during the last six months. According to account referred to by the Moniteur of Friday, Mina had left Barcelona on the] Oth, on his long prepared expedition against the Carlist bands which infest Cata- lonia. He had levied a contribution of 500,000-francs (20,0001.) on the inhabitants of Barcelona towards de- fraying the expenses of this expedition. Ripoll and Campredon were besieged by the united bands of Torres, Tristani, and Brujo. A Bayonne paper of the 15th states, that the threats of reprisals issued by Cab- rera, in consequeuce of the execution of his mother, have been partly carried into execution on eighteen unfortunate women—mothers, wives, or sisters of men devoted to the Queen's Government, who have been shot by his orders. Other simitar executions on the same account were speedily to follow. By the German Papers we have received the an- nouncement of a Russian quarantine establishment at the mouth of the Danube. To the mercantile world such a piece of news, supposing the establishment to be nothing more then is announced, is of considerable interest, but by politicians who look just now with well grounded suspicions on every step taken by Russia, and who will see in it only a ruse to effect a more important object, the affair will be regarded with still greater interest. Buenos Ayres Papers, to the 23d of December, were last night received. The province was trannuil and the trial of the Reinafes, and several others, for* the murder of General QUIROGA, was expected shortly to take place. The Papers contain a correspondence of some length between the Consul of the United States and the Buenos Ayres Minister relative to a statement in a United States Journal, which contained offensive reflections upon the former Government. The North Americans have promptly disclaimed all knowledge of the offensive paragraph, and the good understanding of the two Governments had been renewed.
