The intelligence from Spain, as regards General EVANS and Lis
troops, is very contradictory. On the one hand, it is said that the dissatisfaction with the Government of Spain continues ; and that officers and men are eager to return home ; on the other, that ISTURITZ and the Queen have pacified General EVANS with pro- mises of better treatment in future. ESPARTERO seems to have compelled the Carlists to give up their march into the Asturias ; and to have driven them again into the mountainous districts of Navarre ; but CORDOVA has done nothing.
The Carlists have been completely put down in Catalonia by MINA; but there was some rioting at Figueiras, on the 11th ; in the course of which, the Governor TENA, who was suspected of treachery, was murdered by the populace. Having killed their victim, the rioters did not offer much resistance to the garrison, and order was restored.
