The Spanish Chamber of Procuradores adopted, on the 8th in-
stant, the amendments made by the Proceres in the Foreign Debt Bill, by a large majority ; and have reoognized the Guebhard Loan.. From the seat of war, the new's is disastrous to .the. Royalists. ZUM A L AC A RRE GUY has defeated a considerable Way, of the Queen's troops under General CrDOYLE. The General himself and his brother having been taken prisoners, were both shot in cold blood after the battle was over. Very exaggerated accounts of this engagement and its results have been published in the Carlii..t papers in London and Paris. The following is extracted from the letter of the Madrid correspondent of the Tinier. The Queen's General was completely out-rnanoauvered by his wily antagonist.
"It appears that General Ostna, although with only six battalions under his immediate command, had made himself sure of cutting off the retreat of Zunis. lacarreguy, who with his nine battalions had ventured down into the open country, as if to provoke a general engagement. General Osma, on the morn- ing of the 27th, divided his troops into three divisions, and marched them to points which commanded the three outlets of the valley into which Zumala- carreguv had descended, apparently to offer battle to the forces of the Queen. One of "Osma's divisions, consisting of the African Battalion, and of that dis- tinguished par excellence by the name of " El Batallon de la Beirut," two of the best and bravest in the service, were posted in a village at the mouth of the principal puerto or gorge of the neighbouring mountains, under the command of General O'Doyle, an able and spirited officer, of Irish extraction. On this occasion, however, unhappily for himself and his gallant little band, which amounted altogether to about 1,400 men, he allowed himself to be deceived by a well-executed ruse on the part- of Zumalacarreguy ; who, dividing his force into two unequal divisions, in the perfect knowledge apparently of the whole of General Osma's dispositions;and of the distribution and the movements of the Queen's forces, had so maneetivered as to make O'Doyle believe that the smaller of the two was that of one of his allies. A sham fight, in fact, was got up be- tween the two divisions of the insurgent force; in the course of which It ap- peared that that which represented one of Ostna's divisions was getting the worst of it. On this General O'Doyle could no longer restrain himself, but marching out from his village strong-hold to the assistance of those whom he mistook for his friends, he fell at once into the snare laid for him by the insur- gent chief ; and with his own life lost every thing, not a man of his division having escaped ; and the two pieces of artillery attached to it, together, of course, with 1,400 muskets, having fallen into the hands of the enemy."
The wise people of Madrid are of course exceedingly angry, and somewhat alarmed at this disaster i • which they impute to the incapacity or negligence of the War Minister, Z.ARCO DEL VALLE ; and he, it is said, will retire, and be succeeded by Ge- neral VALDEZ. Mists. is said to be on excellent terms with VALDEZ, and wishes him to come to Vittoria, in older that they may concert a plan of operations together. Much is expected from MINA; who has taken the command of a portion of the Queen's troops near Pampeluna, and has issued a proclamation to the insurgents, offering pardon and protection to all who mill re- turn to their allegiance, but a war of extermination to obstinate rebels.
ZEA BERMUDEZ has been for some time in Paris, and has bad several conferences with Louis PHILIP. It is surmised that the reestablishment of a Spanish Juste Milieu system is again on the carpet.
