LONDON, SEPT. 7. rpHE news from SPAIN has excited the greatest in- X terest both here and at Paris, and from the ac- counts daily received, there is every probability that a termination of the civil war may be now looked on as more than problematical. That Maroto has abandoned Don Carlos and entered into a treaty with Espartero is unquestionable, but the various reports that Don Carlos had taken refuge on board Lord John Hay's vessel at Bayonne, and that he had subsequently signed an act of abdication, are premature. As, however, every thing relative to the present position of the Pretender will be read with interest, we give the news as received day by day. On Tuesday the French Government. caused the following telegraphic dispatch, received that morning, to be affixed at the Bourse:— Maroto and Espartero had not come to an understanding at an interview they had together on the 26th alt. between Bergara and Villareal. Since that time, however, Maroto and Don Carlos are separated, although without any positive or open quarrel." The Journal des Debates gives the following expose which led to the above separation :— It was on Sunday, the 25th, that the schism arose between Don Carlos and General Maroto, on the occasion of a review of his division, held at Elorrio, within two leagues of Durango. The soldiers having given" vivas" both for their General and the King, the latter left in a rage without finishing the review. The insurrection of Vera in his favonr bad inspired Don Carlos with some energy and hope to be able to free himself from the voke of Morolo, and, on quitting bim, he repaired to Bergara, between Durango and Tolosa. On the 26th a conference took place at Villareal, and there Maroto explained to the Generals his plea of pacification, which was the source of the discontent and anger of Don Carlos. The Generals having insisted on the clause of the marriage of the son of Don Carlos with the young Queen, a clause which had been rejected by the Constitutional General, Maroto promised to make fresh overtures, and if not accepted by Espartero, to break off all negotiations. One of the officers present expostulated against all attempt at arrangement, and stigmatised the pourparlers with Espartero as an act of treason against the King but this provocation to violence produced no unpleasant consequence, and the meeting broke up on apparently good terms. Maroto im. mediately sent a messengar to Espartero with a new proposition respecting the marriage, as agreed upon by the Conference. The next day, the 27th, Espartero replied by a refusal, and made a forward movement npon Elorrio and Bergara, at the head of a superior force. Maroto not being able to oppose him in that direction, marched to Aspeita, with his division, in order to cover Tolosa. From thlltlatelal position he could, according to circum- stances, proceed either to Tolosa, by the royal road, or on the flank of the Constitutionalists. Don Carlos, not understanding the object of this movement, and seeing the Constitutionalists approach, fled precipitately from Bergara, and, in his terror, re- ported everywhere that Maroto had left him exposed to the enemy and deserted to the Christinos." The Moniteur of Wednesday contains the im- portant tidings of the pacification of the Provinces of Biscay and Guipuzcoa, concluded betweenEsparteroand Maroto, published in the following despatches Bayonne Sept. 3.—They write from Passages that a treaty of peace was concluded on the 29th ult. between Maroto and Espartero (with a reservation for the approbation of the Cortes), for the pacification of Biscay and Guipuzcoa. The principal j conditions are as follow :—Voluntary submission of the mhabi- tants, with cession of their faeros concessions of pensions to the wounded and the twenty-five battalions and ten squadrons of Maroto will lav down their arms.. On the SOU) Don Carlos went to Lecuinberri, which proves that he is on good terms with Elio. On the 29ih Espartero "c.-upied the left bink of the Deva, and Simon Torre and Maroto the right bank. Lord J. Hay complaint of Espartero compro- •nisingthe negotiation by precipitation. Don Carlos has appointed Eguia Commander-in-Chief." The publication of this intelligence produced a rise in Spanish stock of one per cent., and the general im- pression was that the civil war might be considered at an end. The Sentinelle of Bayonne contains a letter from the Spanish frontiers of the 30th ult. which states that after Maroto had proceeded with his battalions to Azcoita, and the Junta of Generals had been held, Martinez the Secretary of Maroto, went to the lines of Andoain, where he had a conference of two hours with Lord John Hay. It was stated at St. Sebastian that <n nrmistice of a fortnight was to he concluded. On t'10 30th discharges of cannon were heard, from which u^as inferred that the armistice had been concluded, the bells were rung in the villages occupied by t ie \arlists. The white flag was said to be flying along tj1*3 Carlist line; and some boats having hailed the ageppa steamer, which was proceeding from Santan- er to St. Sebastian, informed the crew that she could ent(?r the port if in want of any thing, as the peace concluded. h The Courrier Bordeaux gives the following as au- thentic from the Basque Provinces:— An important Treaty has been concluded between Espartero and Maroto. under ttie intervention of Lord John Hay. At the tnOltJent when the signature of Don Carlos was to have been "'fixed to the act of arrangement, lie tore up the writteu conven- J'.°0, protesting against any decision that might be cotne to without knowledge, against the ri'ght of his Royal pretensions. This *,0'ence was provoked by the last article of the treaty, which Pr°Honnced the definite exclusion and banishment of Don Carlos r'1(* the members of his family. All the information which we ^eive gives as positive the arrangement entered into between flaroto, Moncal, Zarintegui, Simon Torre, Iturriaga. and Elio, p011^ which it is inferred that the latter will not lose sight of Don •"IOS, and will prevent his joining the little nucbts of the insur- P-R1* Vera, if he be capable of such an act ol resolution. It J 8a'd that Espartero has sent an Aide-de-camp to Madrid, and 'at things will remain in suspense until his return. Maroto has Espartero with eighteen battalions." « he Moniteur Parisien of Thursday night, received .by extraordinary express, contains the following highly 11 Important telegraphic despatches from the Spanish frontier: — Madrid, Sept. 1.—The Queen Regent has opened this day the session of the Cortes. The Roval speech contains no allusion to '?,n/t!0,la''or> with Maroto." Bayonne, Sept. 4—General Espartero will recommend to the -ernment, in the most pressing manner, the fulfilment of the ers niade in its name—to propose to the Cortes the concession or laodificatiot, of the fneros (privileges of the provinces)." Espartero occupies the whole of Guipuzcoa. The Carlists sttalions of that province are dispersing. Don Carlos was on ihe at Leciimberv. Elio covered that strong position with six battalions 1? ayonne. Sept. 5.—The treaty of Bergara, signed only by Espartero and Maroto, is very favourable to the Carlist troops, J'ut makes no mention of Don Carlos. About eight thousand meu have deserted from the Pretender, and ubout an equal number remain with him." The Spanish Authorities have received the official news of the treaty concluded between Maroto and Espartero for the pacifica- tion of Biscav, Guipuzcoa, and Castile. The Christinos now occup.v Audoain. The bells are ringing every where, the people are ,n j"y, and the aspect of the country is entirely changed." The other journals contain communications from l,arious parts 0f the Spanish frontier bearing on the j'eaty for terminating the civil war now in progress, yh'ch confirm all that has been published on the sub- Ject. It was, however, believed in Paris that the J^Rotiations might be interrupted,and even abandoned but there appears no reason for supposing that in any case Don Carlos can recover the effect of the blow R|ven to him bv the defection of so large a portion of his army and its Chiefs. Letters from Bayonne of the 4th inst. state that an Aide-de-camp of Espartero rode into Bilboa in the evening- of the 30th, and announced that a Treaty of Pence had been concluded. On receipt this intelligence the inhabitants illuminated their 10uses, and testified their joy by dances and other atnnsements. The harbours of the adjoining coast ^ere occupied by the Christinos, who had, on the other e detached a corps to garrrison Onate. Upwards of 30 refugees had already arrived in Bayonne. Advices from Madrid state that 'lie funds were ad- pricing an(] fhe people in extacies in the hope of a ^initiation of the civil war. It was generally believed that England and France would gr.rantee the faithful execution of the Treaty, and that nn English garrison ^°'ild be placed in Bilboa, and a French one in St. i^hastian, for the protection of the inhabitants of the Provinces. The condition of the treaty were the grant ofthefueros, the maintenance of the officers in their r^nks and honours, the promise of a pension to Don Carlos. who was to retire to Rome. It was remarked that at the last review of the National Guard, the two Infantas wore green hats with red flowers, which are the National colours. The Smyrna papers of the 19th ult. contain commu- nications freon Constantinople of the 17f 11, in which it stated that Meliemet Ali persisted in his first inten- tions, and would not enter into any negociation until Kosrew Pacha had been dismissed from the Councils of his Highness.—In the evening of the 15th this reply reached Constantinople, and on the next, day a Council *vas held at the Porte which lasted until nightfall, and at nine o'clock Nourri Effendi, accompanied by his D ragoman, left for Therapia and Buyukdere, to ac- quaint the Ambassadors with the result of the con- ference, and to know the resolution of those diplomatists, who had also met in the course of that day. on the subject. The latter were understood to have declared that they would not permit the removal of Kosrew Pacha nor acquiesce in the other pretensions of the Viceroy, and that they were firmly determined on maintaining the resolution of their respective Courts to enforce respect for the rights of the Sultan and for preserving the integrity of the Ottoman empire—It is stated that Lord Ponsonby received on the 9th new letters from his Government accrediting him Ambas- sador of England to the Court of the young Sultan.— On the 11th Admiral Roussin. the French Ambassador, presented his credentials to the Sultan in presence of the Grand Vizier, Nourri Effendi. and some of the grand officer? of the Palace. His Highness received him most graciously, and he was requested to thank the Prince de Joinville, in the name of the Sultan, for his noble conduct during the late fire at Pera. The losses occasioned by this disastrous fire are estimated at 120,000,000f. (4.800,0001.), and the number of houses consumed at 5,000. The Turkish Government had placed tents at the disposal of the sufferers, and caused fifty piastres to be distributed to each family. The thanks of the merchants and foreign residents had been presented to the Prince de Joinville and his soldiers for the eminent services rendered by them during the conflagration. The packet ship Virginia, arrived in Liverpool on Wednesday, brings New York papers to the 14th ult., but they are chiefly filled with accounts of the renewal of the Florida war; with the addition, that near Fort Frank Brook, on the 24th ultimo, a party of Americans were fired upon by the savages, and Messrs. Henderson and Parkes shot dead. Their eyes were then dug out, and the corpses frightfully mutilated. In Texas, two battles have been fought with the Indians, who had assembled under a Chieftain named Bowles, for the purpose of attacking the Whites. They were defeated in two spirited engagements by the Texian troops under General Rush, and a great many killed. About nine of the Texians were killed, including two Officers. The news from Canada is not important. The dates are— from Montreal to the IOth, Quebec to the 9th, and To- ronto to the 7th ult. The Montreal Courier of the 7th reports that all the State prisoners are to be liberated, on condition of their leaving the Province for ever. The accounts of the crops from most parts of the States are favourable; but great complaints prevail that business is languishing for want of currency, arising from the general want of credit. The two can- didates for the Presidency, Mr. Van Bnren and Mr. Clav, were both engaged in their electioneering tours. THE MONEY MARKET.—There was a great pressure for money in the early part of this week in the City, and the best paper was only cashed at very exorbitant discount. The notice of the Bank on Thursday to ad- vance money on deposit of bills of exchange not having more than six months to run, at 6 per cent., did much to overcome the difficulty, and money is much more easily attainable. The Public Securities improved to a marked extent during the week. Consols for money advanced from 89 £ to 90f. Exchequer Bills improved from 28. to 9s., and India Bonds from par to 6s. pr. The transfer books for Bank Stock, and many of the heavy Securities,are now closed. India Stock declined from 249l to 218, and the New Three and a Half per Cents. rallied from 96, to 9BJ. The operation of to- 2 day, both in the funded and unfunded debt, were, as far as the general body of the dealers was concerned, upon a limited scale. Money Stock was quoted in the morning at 90-jj-, hut a sale of 50,0001 reduced the 8 price lJ, although subsequently a rally occurred to the point at winch the opening bargains were effected. Stock for October was down at one period to 91, but the quoting 91 k. The premium on Exchequer Bills only varied from 7 to 9 and India Bonds were marked the same as on Friday. The New Three and a Half per Cents, after declining 97k closed at an improve- ment to 98J. The news from Paris on Spanish affairs caused considerable traffic it, the Bonds, but specula- tion was checked by the immense quantity brought upon the market for the purpose of being realised. Her Majesty is in the enjoyment of excellent health at Windsor Castle, and rides out daily in the Great Park, when the weather is at all favourable. Their Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians and uite arrived at the Castles at half past seven o Iclock yesterday. Prince Esterhazv, who has been an invalid during the last six weeks, is now convalescent. It is stated, his Highness meditates the resignation of his Embassy, his vast estates in Austria requiring his residence in Vienna the greater part of the year. The Sun of yesterday says-" A rumour has pre- vailed for some days that if the pressure in the monev market does not abate speedily, there will be an issue of one pound notes The Earl of Lucan, hte Lord Bingham, who recentlv succeeded to his hereditary honours, has in every case remitted the 26 per cent. to which he is entitled out of the tithes on his Lordship's extensive estates at Castlebar, county Mayo. At a meeting of the National Convention," held At a meeting of the National Convention," held yesterday, it was resolved by a majority of one, that the body be dissolved on the 14th inst. and that an ad- dress to the people, stating the reasons for such a course, be forthwith prepared and published. Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, Col. Pasley made a second attempt to blast the wreck of the Rot/al George, sunk at Spithead, but unfortunately was baffled owing to the roughness of the weather. There were a great number of boats out crowded with persons, and much interest was evinced. The Lords of the Actmi- ralty were present on the occasion ilr. Macaulay, at a public breakfast given him last week by the Liberals of Edinburgh, at the York Hotel in that city, stated a curious coincidence—namely, that lie had succeeded Mr. Abercromby on no fewer than three different occasions first, as Commissioner of Banruptcy second, as Member for Calne and lastly, as Representative for Edinburgh. The First Lord of the Admiralty (Earl of Minto), accompanied by SirCharles Adam, Sir William Parker, Sir Thomas Troubridge, and Mr. Tuffnell, returned to the Admiralty on Monday night, from an official visit to Chatham. The Noble Earl and the above Gallant Admirals took their depature on Tuesday evening for Portsmouth, whence they will embark on board the Firebrand Government steamer, which will convey them to her Majesty's principal Dock-yards in their tour of inspection. CAMBRIDGE ELECTION. The nomination for a Re- presentative for this Borough in the room of the late Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, elevated to the Peerage, took place on Wednesday on hustings erected in Paiker's Piece. —Mr. J. H. T. Manners Sutton, a Conservative, was pro- posed by G. Fisher, Esq. and seconded by Mr. Bartlett; and Professor Henslovv proposed and Mr Alderman R. Foster seconded T. M. Gibson, Esq., a Liberal, and late M.P. for Ipswich. Both Gentlemen addressed th" electors at some length, and on a show of hands the Mayor. (H. Headly, Esq.) decided that it was very nearly equal, but he though the small difference was in favour of Mr. Gibson. At 8 o'clock Thursday morning the polling commenced, and terminated at 4 in favour ot Mr. Sutton, the numbers being, Sutton 717, and Gibson 617-majority 100. MANCHESTER ELECTION.— In consequence of the dispute relative to the validity of the Charter of Incorpo- ration granted to the town, two nominations and two elec- tions for this Borough have taken place to fill the vacancy occasioned by the Ri¡!;h.t Hon. C. P.Thomson's appointment to Canada. Tiie folit)%vi"g is the cause oflhis double election. The elections have hitherto been under the superintendence of the Boroughreeve, but a Municipal Charter having re- cently been granted, the newly elected Mayor claims to be the returning Officer. As, however, the Municipal Borough does not include the whole of the Parli ;meutary Borough, the Boroughreeve still claims the right conferred liy the Reform Bill. The election precept was first sent to the latter, but on representation, another precept was forwarded. to the Mayor. The nomination before the Boroughreeve klok place on Wednesday, when R. H. Greg, Esq., a Liberal, was proposed by Mr. and seconded by Mr. Cobden: Mr. T. Fielden proposed and Mr. Condy seconded Colonel Thompson, a Chartist; and Mr. Claike proposed and Mr. J. Wood seconded the Right Hon. Sir George Murray, a Conservative. A protest was entered against Mr. Greg, who is abroad. Tiie show of hands was in favour of Sir George, and a poll was demanded on behalf of the other Candidates.—On Thursday the nomination took place before the Mayor, when it was stated that Colonel Thompson, not recognising the Court of the Mayor, would abide the result of the election proceeding under the arrangements of the Boroughreeve, and on this ground he declined being put in nomination. On this occasion Mr. J. Brooke proposed and Air. J. Price seconded Mr. Greg; and Mr. Clarke and Mr. Wanklin, jun. proposed and seconded Sir George Murray. The show of hands was in favour of the Right Hon. Baronet, and a poll was demanded on behalf of Mr. Greg. The polling on the Boroughrecve's nomination commenced with great, spirit at eight o'clock that morning, and Colonel Thompson finding he had no chance, transferred his Chartist votes to Sir George, a great number of whom polled for him, and up to half past one the Right Hon. Baronet was upwards of 250 a-head. the Gallant Colonel having only 32! The Liberals, finding the defection of the Radicals, from this time put on the steam, and at the conclusion the numbers were, Greg, 309G, Murray, 2969; majority for Greg 127. For the Gallant Colonel the numbers we.e only ü3! In the evening Colonel Thompson's Committee agreed that all the Chartists should give their inteiest to Sir George at the ordeal before the Mayor on the morrow.—The polling under the Mayor's nomination commenced on Friday morning, and (according with their own reporter) the Conservatives were not so active in bringing up their voters to the poll as on the preceding day, their ardour being somewhat damped by their disappointment in not returning their Candidate. At eleven o'clock the return of Mr. Manners Sutton for Cambridge put new life into them, and at half past twelve the numbers were, Greg 2041. Mui ray 1791-majority 250. Their ex- ertions, however, aided by the votes of the Radicals, were all in vain, the Liberals polling man for man, and at (he close of the hooks at four o'clock the numbers were declared by Mr. Greg's Committee to be, Greg 3424, Murray, 3174- majority 2.50.—Sir George's Committee gave him a greater number of votes, reducing the majority to 212.
