Pampeluna and its garrison, and other important towns, 
have joined the movement. The Royal Army is sepa- 
rated into three bodies, each acting at a distance from the 
others, and neither of them sufficiently strong to attack 
the insurgents or to effect a junction with one of the 
other divisions. In the meantime, the insurrection has 
spread ina circle around the Regent, and great doubts are 
entertained whether he will be able to make head against 
the powerful and well-organized conspiracy which now 
surrounds him. 
At home, the revenue returns for the year and quarter 
ending the 5th inst. are the chief topic of interest. The 
general balance for the year shows an increase in the 
total revenue of the country to the amount of 2,442,942/., 
as compared with the corresponding period of last year. 
The increase of the quarter amounts to 1,700,532/.; but 
as this includes the produce of the silver received from 
China and the Income-tax, it does not give the absolute 
increase upon the ordinary branches of revenue, which 
amounts to about 50,000/, for the quarter. The Customs 
and Excise show a steady and

now Princess of Coburg, is expected to leave Lisbon so as 
to reach London on the 15th of this month.

are the general directions, subject to the usual modifica- 
on the accounts for the quarter, the Theis in the one 
being 125,015/., and upon the other 140,013/.; but the

Order of the Bath.—The Queen has been pleased to 
appoint Major-General Sir Charles J, Napier, Knight 
Cc d i 
on the year the increase is 59,000/.—The y dings of 
Parliament present few subjects which call for special 
observation. The adjourned debate on the Irish Arms 
Bill is not yet terminated, and every clause and sentence 
of the measure continues to give rise to amendments and 
divisions. On Tuesday Mr. Smith O’Brien moved that 
the House resolve itself into a committee for the purpose 
of taking into consideration the causes of the discontent 
at present prevailing in Ireland, with a view to the esta- 
blishment of a system of just and impartial government 
in that part of the United Kingdom. A long debate 
ensued, for the details of which we must refer our readers 
to our Parliamentary Report.

The Revenue.—The Revenue accounts for the year and 
quarter ending the 5th inst. were published on Wednesday, 
and are satisfactory, as showing a small increase in some of 
the more important sources of revenue, and an indication 
of reviving trade. The total revenue for the year was 
47,780,342/., and that of the corresponding year ending 
July 5, 1842, was 45,337,400/., showing an increase of 
2,442,942/, in favour of the present ; but this must not be 
considered an absolute increase, as it includes the Income 
Tax and the money received from China, without which 
there would be a deficiency of nearly 1,900,0002. The 
accounts for the year show an increase on the Post-office 
of 59,000/.; Miscellaneous, 1,080,214/., to which must be 
added Property Tax, 3,317,9977.; Repayment of Advances, 
142,2571, making a total of 4,599,4687. They show a 
decrease on the Customs of 514,926/.; Excise, 1,013,8682. 5 
Stamps, 203,717/.; Taxes, 249,033/.; Crown Lands, 60,000/., 
to which must be added, Imprest and other moneys, 
114,9822., making a total of 2,156,526/.; which being de- 
ducted from the amount of increase 4,599,468/., as stated 
above, gives 2,442,942/., as the increase on the year. The 
accounts for the quarter show an increase on the Customs 
of 135,015/.; Excise, 140,013/. ; Property Tax, 861,7092. ; 
Crown Lands, 2,500/.; Miscellaneous (including the money 
received from China), 849,767/. ; to which must be added, 
Repayments of Advances, 35,655/., making a total of 
2,024,659/, They show a decrease on the Stamps of 39,3691; 
Taxes, 74,408/.; Post-office, 9,0007. ; Imprest and other 
Moneys, 200,350/., making a total of 323,127/., which being 
deducted from the amount of 2,024,659/., as stated above, 
gives 1,701,532/. as the increase on the quarter. 
Earl Grey.—Last evening the answer to inquiries res- 
pecting the health of the venerable peer was that his 
Lordship had a comfortable night, and still continues 
improving satisfactorily. His Lordship is now able, with 
assistance, to leave his bed-room, and sit up during a con- 
siderable part of the day in an ante-chamber. 
Post Ofice.—Lord Lowther, the post-master general, 
has for some time been making arrangements with the 
Post-office authorities of Belgium, Holland, Prussia, 
Austria, Saxony, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Russia, 
for the transmission of letters and newspapers to and from 
England and those countries, on the same terms as the 
recent postal convention with France, which came into 
operation on the Ist of June, either by paying the postage 
or not. These negotiations are nearly concluded. 
Sycee Silver.—By the statement of the account between 
the Master of the Mint and the Lords of the Treasury, 
relative to the Sycee silver remitted from China, it 
appears that the total value is 1,334,480/. 7s. 7d., the 
freight and other expenses connected with which is 
19,2910 18s. 2d., leaving a balance of 1,315,1887. 9s. 5d. ;

On Tuesday his Serene Highness the Prince Reuss Loben- 
stein Ebersdorf went by railroad to Windsor, to view the

6,000,000 dollars, the first instalment under the treaty of 
ankin. Of this amount, 1,281,406/. 13s. 10d. has been 
paid into the Exchequer, and 53,073/. 13s. 9d. reserved for 
freight, charges of preparation, contingent expenses, allow- 
ances, &c, subject to the approbation of the Treasury.

Francx.—The news from Paris is chiefly connected 
with the details of the Budget, and with matters of domes- 
ticinterest. On Saturday the Bill for opening a credit of 
527,241 francs for the Minister of Finance, in order to 
enable the Government to pay, should King Otho’s 
Government not do so, the half-year’s interest due on the 
portion of the Greek loan guaranteed by France, passed 
the Chamber of Deputies by a majority of 221 to 13. In 
the brief discussion which preceded the vote, M. Guizot 
said that there was every reason to hope that the financial 
difficulties of Greece would not be of long duration, and 
that the present Bill would probably be the last of such 
a nature the Chamber would have to give their assent to. 
The Chambers were but thinly attended on Monday, in con- 
sequence of the funeral of Mdlle. Barrot, the only daughter 
of M. Odillon Barrot, whose early death is deplored by 
the Journals of all parties. The greater portion of the 
Members of both Houses were present at the funeral. 
The Chamber of Deputies commenced on that day the 
discussion on the project of a railway from Avignon to 
Marseilles. One of the Opposition papers having stated 
that when the King came from Neuilly to the Tuileries, 
on Friday, he alighted at the Perron de la Reine, and that 
he appeared to be suffering, and was compelled to lean 
forcibly on the arms of the two officers who accompanied 
him, in order to be able to reach his apartments, the 
Ministerial paper says, that nothing can be more false 
than these details, and that the King was never in better 
health. The Duc d’Aumale landed at Marseilles from 
Algiers on the 29th ult. In the beginning of August, his 
brother, the Duke de Nemours, is to proceed with his 
consort to the camp formed at Plelan, near Rennes. The 
Prince and Princess de Joinville arrived at Brest on 
Saturday last, from Rio Janeiro. Dr. Hahnemaun, the 
founder of Homeeopathy, died in Paris on Sunday, aged 
88. Summer tourists may be interested to know that a 
new line of packets has been established on the Loire, by 
means of which a traveller, leaving Paris at six in the 
morning for Orleans by the railroad, can arrive at Tours 
at half-past six in the evening, a distance of 60 leagues. 
Sparn.—The accounts received this week by the French 
telegraph are of considerable interest, and the state of 
affairs in the provinces has assumed an aspect of very 
grave importance to the Regent. Two-thirds of the king- 
dom have joined the insurrection, which is becoming so 
generalin Andalusia, that Gen. Carratala, the Governor of 
Seville, who had retired to Cadiz after the outbreak at 
Seville, has declared Cadiz and its province in a state of 
siege. Pampeluna and its garrison, all the military posts 
on the frontier except Irun and Fontarabia, have made 
their pr i t i i In Galicia 
the example of Corunna has spread with great rapidity. 
Vigo, Pontevedra, Orense, Lugo, and Betanzos, have fol- 
lowed the movement ; but at Ferrol the population was 
still kept down by the Captain-General. Burgos is the 
seat of a very active and energetic junta, which was 
organising the insurrection throughout the entire of Old 
Castile. The General commanding the city was compelled 
to capitulate for want of provisions, but the Governor of 
Valladolid still maintained himself in an old convent, 
converted by the French into a citadel during the Penin- 
sular war. All these circumstances prove that the Burgos 
insurgents are not yet ready to march upon Madrid with 
those of Galicia, as they boasted they would in their 
proclamation. The people of the valley of Aran and of 
the upper mountains, as well as Huesca and Daroca, in 
Aragon, had declared against the Regent. Palma, in the 
Balearic Islands, Ceuta, Algesiras, and the camp of 
San Roquez, had likewise ‘‘ pronounced.” The Regent 
reached La Ronda on the 24th, and proceeded the next 
day to Albaceta, where he was received with the greatest 
enthusiasm by the people and the National Militia, He 
had found it necessary, however, to wait until he could 
be reinforced by Gen. Van Halen, who had found the 
troops of Alvarez so disorganised before Granada, that he 
was obliged to withdraw them. Gen. Van Halen was still 
at Jaen on the 25th ult., awaiting the arrival of the 
Governor of Cordova, with a reinforcement of 1,500 men, 
to cross the Sierra Morena, and effect a junction with the 
Regent. By the latest news from Valencia, it appears 
that the ‘‘ Junta of Salvation,’’ as they style themselves, 
commanding in that city, had issued orders to all the 
country within their reach to pay up within six days the 
taxes due for the entire year. All bachelors and widowers 
without children, from the ages of 18 to 40, are ordered 
to take up arms, and a strong temptation is held out to the 
Regent’s troops to desert by an offer of one real a-day 
additional pay, and a reduction of a year in the period of 
their service. The Junta of Barcelona had called upo? 
the members of the Lopez Administration to meet 1? 
that city. General Serrano had, in virtue of the powers 
vested in him by the Junta, pronounced the tor 
tion of the Regency of Espartero, and rele 
all Spaniards of their allegiance to him, The repor 
of several of battalions of Zurbano’s army having joine 
the insurgents was untrue; but he has found it necessary 
to enter into an arrangement with General Castro, a PS 
insurgent General, by which he has been allowed to oa 
back upon Cervera without coming to a battle. The yee 
ror of a bombardment had subsided at Barcelona, and 1H 
population was beginning to re-enter the city. Since t 7 
retreat of Zurbano, the Governor announced, that ante 
no instructions to persist in his menaces, he would el 
open the fire, unless acts of hostility were commit! ae 
against the place. So long as a superior army ahaa 
compel the insurgents to shut themselves up Baree nid 
the fort of Montjuich will be of little use, since it ary 
now merely batter empty houses. It is in the cou! 46 
round Lerida that the fate of the insurrection may De ok 
cided. Castro and Prim are now manceuvring to tas 
Seoane and Zurbano, and oblige them to retire into 
fortress and open @ communication with 
the militias 9
