LONDON, AUG. 9. Tfjfl Paris journals to Thursday havebe<?n recei ved. TW telegraphic despatches from Bayonne, were re- ceived in Paris on Wednesday, stating that General Rodil bad beaten the insurgents along the whole line: and one dated St. Jean de Luz, August 3, seven P.M., which is as follows" El Pastor announces, that on the 1st, the main body of the insurgents were beaten towards Iturgoyen, and that the Queen's troops were pursuing them in every direc- tion," Another letter from St. Jean de Luz, dated the 6th inst. was posted at the Bourse on Thursday last, by order of the Minister of the Interior:—" Don Carlos has arrived at INfarigt, apd appears to be falling back on Elisondo. The Jn- •urg^nte confess that they experienced a check on the 1st iij#t. Tfyeir army appears to concentrate itself upon San- Estevan." The general opinion is, that Gen. Rodil would be enabled, without the aid of any > "eign troops, completely to annihilate the Carlists It uppers also by an "official bulletin of Biscay," published in Bayonne on the 2d inst., tbaf oil the 27th ult. an attack was made by Zavala with the Whote of the rebel forces under his command, on the town of Egbar, which, after two hours' fighting, en;.12d in the de- feat .and flight of the assailants. The garrison and all the inhabitants of the place are said to have defended it with the utmost resolution. Subsequent official advices from Madrid, are very satisfactory. The dispatches received by the Spanish Government from General Rodil state, that after his late victory, the royal forces pursued the retreating in- surgents for nine miles, and would have continued the pur- suit further, had not the woody nature of the country pre- vented it. The disposition of the royal army is said to be excellent; not the slightest desertion to the enemy had taken place, and the most sanguine hopes were entertained that decisive advantages would rapidly follow. The arrival of Don Carlos in Spain is now the theme of public conver- sationin Madrid, but the fact creates little or no sensation, the Government showing no sort of uneasiness or jealousy on the subject. These accounts reach to the 30th, on which day, or the 31st, it was expected General Palafox would be released. General Van Halen is to be escorted to the frontiers, and dismissed with a caution not to be found again in Spsjin. His Majesty's schooner Viper arrived at Falmouth on Wednesday from Lisbon, whence she sailed on the 24th i|)t< By the accounts things continued tranquil, with the tactions in general proceeding favorably for the Adminis- tration.—sThe arrival of H. M. schooner Pike at Lisbon with information of the entry of Don Carlos into Spain, had eaased considerable sensation there, and there is every reason to believe that the Government contemplated sending troops to the frontiers to co-operate with General Rodil in case of necessity. Don Pedro's health had considerably im- proved; it was m a state that would enable him to accpm- paay The Queen on the following day to Oporto, whither they would proceed in the Royal Tar steamer. His Ma- jesty's, steamer Confidence, with Lord Howard de Walden, was to. accompany the Royal party. Amongst the subjects to which the attention of the Cortes was to be primarily called, was that of the marriage of the Queen. It would appear that an intrigue lias been already set on foot for uniting her to the.son of an influential Duke, but this alliance with a native, which might inconveniently complicate the relations of parties in Portugal, had been repudiated, and the Duke of Leuchtenberg, the Empress's brother, was un- derstood to stand highest in the favour of the Queen herself, the foremost in the good wishes of her father. Donna Maria's hand has, it seems, been an object of much solicita- tion on the part of more than one Princely aspirant. The Session«of ithe Cortes, it is thought, will hist stbout three months. His Majesty's frigate Staff arrived at Falmouth the same evening from Lisbon, which she left on the evening of the 26th. Don Pedro and the Queen sailed for Oporto on Tuesday, where they calculated upon meeting with an en- thusiastic reception. The Official, Gazette of the. 26th con- tains the Queen of Spain's investiture of Don Pedro with the riband of the Grand Cross of the ancientMilitary Order ,of San Fernando. The Belgian papers, arrived to-day, have.brought an outline of the proposed arrangement as to Luxemburg, which I, io said to have received the sanction of the House of Nassau, and on which, it is supposed, the future negotiatians will turn. The Belgian papers imply that the proposal will not ,be satisfactory to Belgium. The Duke of Nassau, itappears, remands a pecuniary recompence of 750,000 florins for his ..reversionary interest in the Luxemburg territory. tO ras ory. 'IR
