SPAIN.

(Front the London Morning Chronicle, flpril 14.) Mas De Las Matas, April 6. Head Quarters of the Duke de la Victoria. Eleven A. M.—I hasten to acquaint you that a despatch has just been received by the General- in-Chief from Col. Zurbano, conveying the im- portant intelligence of the capture by thatfiofii- ccr of two rebel battalions—the 6th and 7th of Aragon—at Pitarque. The prisoners taken amount to 419, the remainder having been killed, lwith the etception of about 80 who escaped, but who most likely afterwards fell into the hands of General Ayerbe. ‘ This important event is the result of a combi- nation ordered by the General~in-Chief before leaving Castellote. Calculating that part ofthe rebel force which had been in the neighbourhood of that place would proceed towards Villarluen- go, be ordered Col. Zurbnno, who was at Ejulve, ‘to proced in that direction ; General Ayerbe go~ ‘ing towards the same point from Santolia, bv 'Tronchon. Col. Zurbano advanced as far as Pitarqne (beyond Villarluengo, in the direction of Aliiiga) and there, early yesterday morning, surprised the two battalions ; the result being asJ above described. If General 0 Donnell has al-

Teady invested Aliaga, there is no escape for the :cbelgarrison of that place. . , ' l , ' capture of two complete battalions, im- m’, , y following the fall of Castellote; must

prdduce Ing'appalliug efi'ect upon the rebels. in short, the prospect of the termination of this afflicting war becomes brighter every hour. —

The London money market continued easy and the amount ofbullion was increasing. ’

There was nothing doing in London in American sc- curities. The association in Paris have commenced operations, and some sales of magnitude had been mttdc.

The British Queen had not arrived out at the time of the departure of the Great Western.

The weather had been very fine, and the season fa- vourable for agricultural purposes. The corn markets

.were on u decline. . On the l3lh April, at Mnrklane, there

was a full of 2s. per quarter, on both Englih and Foreiwn wheat. V _ . ° The Cornan debate went off without a division, owmg to a mistake in form; and it is not supposed that the sub ect_w1ll be again brought forward the present year. uiing this Parliament, or even with the present ministry, there is, apparently, very little prospect of the measure being carried. . Letters oftnnrque tind repfisul had been issued against China, and an Order in Council had been passed to that effect. Viscount Melbourne declared in his place in the House of Lords, on the 10th ult., that it was the inten- "‘01) ofthe Government to (Ynand repartition from the Lhinese, in consequence of t e injuries which had been inflicted on British subjects in China, and unquestion- ably it was the intention of‘ this government to proceed to acts ofreprisnl against the Chinese trudc. Sir Robert l’eel wished to know when the Enpers which he had moved for relative to the American oundnry, would be laid on the table of the House? Lord John Russell was understood to so that the papers would be laid on the table before the adjournment. The Duke of Wellington has had afinlier violent attack ofsitfiners. ' The Secret Service Appropriation Bill was under discussion at Paris in the Chamber of Peers. The war with the Arabs about Algiers was still con- tinued. Tlie‘erer were displaying extraordinary ac- tivity on all points, and it was said that a company of the foreign legion, chiefly Spaniards, had mutini'ed and gone over to hem, first butt: ering their captain. \ Ir'tbe House ofLords, on the 13th April, the Irish Tithe Commutation Act Amendment Bill was read a secontLtime, and ordered to be committed on Friday, t e Lord Melbourne gave notice that he should this day move the adjournment of the House till Thursday, the 30th April. In the Hove ofCommons, on the same evening, seve- ral Petitions were presented for and against Church Ex- tension, and against the Corn Laws, against the Clergy Reservewill, and against intrusion into the Church of Scotlagl. Mr. Ke‘ly gave notice that immediately after the Easter recess, he should move for leave to bring in ti Billto abolish the punishment of death, except in cases of murder.’ In nnswcr to a question from Mr. Pakingtou to Lord Mn Russell, as considerable misapprehension prevailw out of dogs ,with regard to what had taken place respecting the Clergy Reserves Bill, his Lordship snid,that ‘ What he had stated was, that there wait: clause in the bill which went to repeal a portion of the Act,7th and 8th George IV.. which, so that Act did not contain any’lausemmypowering the Colonial Legislature to alter or repeal it, Wagso far, in the opinion of the law 0 ers of the Crown,of no legal effect, unless confirmed byjp Ag!
