The news from Spain is unfavourable. While the main army

of the Queen is inactive in Vittoria, and General EVANS has to maintain his position near St. Sebastian by almost daily encoun- ters with the enemy, the ruffian CABRERA has defeated Colonel VALDEZ in Arragon, near Banon ; killing a considerable number of his soldiers in the battle, and shooting 43 officers and 850 pri- vates, whom he made prisoners, in cold blood after the fight was over. Several of the British soldiers, who were captured in the recent skirmishes by the Carlists, have been fastened to walls and then shot at for sport, till dead.
