Just as we were ready for pres-;, we received

A change of ministry lias taken place in spain.

views and intcnliut'S. Jt is not said in so natty

will advocate the Cortes.
The reported battle of thellth turns out, as
wo expected, to hive been mulling more than a
smart skirmish, in which only otic Eitgiish bai-
taliou was engaged, aud sustained a .loss of two
killed and ten wounded. Tile lotai loss of the
Queen’s troops in killed and wouuded was 4(iG,
general Espartero being among the latter.
The change of tnietsiry seems to have alrea
dy produced a good ciTcct. Thejiinta ofMuricia
has dissolved itself, and it was liojied that the
other provinces would speedily return to (heir
confidence in she government.
A conspiracy had been discovered, on the
night of the J fit'll in the barracks of cuirassiers.
Ten sergeants were arrested ami some import
ant papers seized. The conspiracy was Carlist.
and it proposed to operate l»y proclaiming the con
stitution in 1812 iu Madrid.

out of 292 who were on board, 132 perished.
We are enabled to give au accurate account
below of the affair oflhellth between thcqiiecu *
troops aud tho Cariists near Bilboa.
The divisions of E->partcr o aud Espclnta, a-
inuiiuting together to about 8,000 u*eu marched
tin the 11 tli Iroiu Billina. Tho two divisions had
uol marched above two miles when they fell iu
with the advanced parties of the enemy, who
skirmished with them until they reached Arrigor-
reag.i, where they found tho main body of the
Cariists under Morciim, amounting to eleven or
twelve thousand men strongly posted.
Under these circumstances Espcleta not w ishing
to leave hchiuJ him so Iargj a force, which would
have been sufficient to blockade Bilboa had the
Queen’s troops continued their march to Orduua
ns was originally intended, ordered his forces to
retreat upon whielt they were pursued by the
enemy. When tile noise of the firing was beard
at Billion, the garrison and four Battalions of the
English marched out to support Espeleta’s troops.
In cotiicqucucc of the Bridge over the Ncrvinn
Laving been abandoned before the rear ol
E«parioro's divisott, with part of the baggage,
had passed, the Cariists Cavalry charged them,
and occnsinucd considerable loss; hut Espartero
placed himself a: the It ad of a few cavalry aud
recovetcd the bridge, and tho Third Regiment
uf the English coining to his assistance, charged
down the road aud -irovo the Cariists back. This
was the only Euglish battalion that was serious
ly cugaged, and it behaved very well—Espartcro
was sevcrly wounded in tho arm; and the total
loss during tiie day, including two English killed,
ana tea does not exceed 450 men.

several individuals among the crowd went up iu
to the hall of the abolitionists, aud threw out of
the window all the tracts and papers of the socie

street.
About three o’clock the people crowded the

son was the only male character among the wo
men, and he scon decamped, and u ithdrew to an
other room. Tnc mayor of the city, Mr. Lyman,
soon entered and recommended the women to
withdraw, and thus <*strirntcjtliemsc-ives from tho
tumult. They complied, and marched down
stairs iu couples, black am! while, arm iu arm.
Tho mayor addressed the people, and stated em
phatically that Thompsou was not in the city,
and requested tho people to disperse nenecably
The gcucral expression then was to take down a
large sign on the third story, oil whitY was pain
ted “Female Abolition Society Room.” Some
of our most respectable citizens then went delibe
rately, and in a peaceable manner, aud drew out
ihc hunks that supported the sign, aud were a-
bout to take it into the window. The people be
low then demanded that the sign should be low

ple immediately broke it in pieces. This was at
about half past 3 o’clock, and most of the sp eta-

From Madrid our Intelligence comes dowu to

recalled. M. Meudiznbal was still the only act

ki'ii to proclaim to the crowd, that their object
was obtained- The multitude members and all,
pale and convulsed with terror, aud he made 1:0
attempt to speak or to resist. There was a very
general exclamation of “dou’l hurt him;’’ and
two individuals seizing him on each side by the
collar, he was conducted through the lane into
risate-st., aud from thence hurried into the may
or’s office in^tlte city hall The crowd remained
outside, nud at 03c time we should thiuk that
from four to fiv - thousand persons were assem
bled iu the street. The mayor made his appear
ance at the portico, and addressed the multitude
iti a brief aud judicious speech. The crowd, how
ever, did not dUpersc; and on the approach of a
earrings toward the opposite door, for the pur
pose of removing Garrison, the agitation of the
mutitude evidently increased.
The doors of the vehicle were thrown open,
and such was the press upon tlu» horses aud the
coach, that it was several times nearly upset.
By the exertions of the mayor, Garrisou was se
curely placed iu tho conch, which was driven ut
some speed up Court street, followed by a large
having been issued against Garrison, as a public
agitator aud disturber of tiio peace. In order to
elude pursuit, the coachman drove at a rapid
rate, and took a circuitous route, so as to ap
proach the jail from the bottom of Lcvcrctt st.
He was hardly a moment iu adv’anco of the
crowd, and Garrisou bad barely timo to give ouo
leap from the carriage toward the door of the
jai^ to escape the sliu'-'k of tho opposing crouds,
which were rushing towards him from different
cuds of the street. Iio sank exhausted upon a
seat, exclaiming, that “never was a man so re
joiced to get into a jail before.” The door be
ing closed upon him. the immense assemblage iu
front gradually dispersed.
Thus (says the Centiuel) have tho people of
this city expressed their decisive reprobation, of
the outrageous perscvcraucc of fanatics, in dis
turbing the public by harangues on abolition, we
hope that this will lie the last attempt of agitators
to continue their practices under the shelter of fe
males.

me agaiu implore you to tutu out promptly and

rebellious or revolutionary or voluntary warfare.
It has been forced upon us. Justice, liberty, the
constitution, aud the God of battles are ou our

adopted the motto of their ancestors, “Liberty

This campaign will but little interfere will] the

at the place appointed, if not, let the members
equip themselves for hattie, repair to the camp,
aud iu a short time they may enjoy the proud sat

LATEST FROM TEXAS.
We have bceu permitted to read a private let
ter dated Brazoria, Oct 8; in which it is stated
that the inhabitants of that place ate everyday
alarmed by tho Mexicaus; that some two or three
hundred of the latter had proceeded to Gonzales,
about 150 miles distant, aud demuuded the amis
and ammunition of the Americans, aud on being
refused they attacked the town but were repulsed
with the loss of 30 or 40 killed or wounded, none
beiug kiiled on the part of the Texiaus. The
writer states that there arc ahont 500 Texiaus (u
the iuterior battling with the Mexican troops; and
and that about 2000 of the latter were to have
been at 1I10 month of the Brasses on the 20th
inst. The Brazorians are building a fort to give
their visitors a warm welcome.
We have also seen a call to arms of the freemen
of Texas, dated 3d Camp of the volunteers, and
signed by several of tho influential Texans, to
their fellow citizens. They state that at tho ac
tion of the 3d at Gonzales, the Mexican comman
der was slain. The rifles of Americans are 110
trifles iu deciding the fate of military officers.
Wo have learned that a letter of the 12th inst
Brazoria, was received last evening, in which it
is stated that the Texian forces under Geucrni
Houston had takcu the town of Sail Antonio or
Beznr, with 1000 meu under his command.
The Mexicaus had retired at the approach of the
Texans; and the city was taken without resis
tance. It is also stated that a con vov of $30000
belonging to Gen. Cos had fullcu into the hands
of the Texiaus.

Since Elms was taken we have received the
following information from M Gray a Magistrate
iu Hamburg. ‘ Some four or five months ago
perhaps longer, Elms was arrested and brought
before me by virtue of a warrant issued by A B
Esq. (a justico of the quorum for Edgefield)
charged with having murdered a man ill North
Carolina of havittg stolen a horse, and of having
swindled a gentleman of bis property. Upon
deliberating upon the case, I felt it my duty to
commit him to jail, & acted accordingly. Elms
was then banded over to the proper officer;
aud through tho management of threo persons i:i
Hamburg made itis escape. Since that time the
Magistrate has heard nothing about him. He

Another Grand Rail Road Project.—Wc learn
from tho New Orleans Bee, that it is in content
plation in that city to connect New Orleans with
the Gulf ot California on tho Pacifie by a Rail
Roail tn run through Texas, via Natchitoches and
Nacogdoches and the gorge of Rocky Mountains
It is computed, that by extending the content-
latcd rail road from New Orleans to Natchez and
theuce to Richmond, there would be a continuous
rail road of J6T0 miles from New York, which
would be travelled in four days! Should the rail
toad to California be effected, steam ships would
communicate from the latter to China, Persia or
the East Indies, and thus not only cut up the
East India shipping of the liiorlhcrii Stales bt.t
reuder ihe projected route across the isthmus of
Panama, uuttecessay. Such a short aud direct
route to tlio Pacifie, would also neutralize the
eflbits cf tiie British Government to open a route
through the Mediterranean, the Euphrates river,
