The new order of things in Spain has been strengthened
by a seasonable victory over the Carlists. On the 21st of last month, General Ankix, at the head of the Queen's troops, attacked GOMEZ, the Carlist chieftain, at Villarobledo in the province of La Mancha, and completely defeated him. The number of killed is not mentioned, but ALAIX took 1360 prisoners, two pieces of can- non, and an immense quantity of baggage and booty, which GOMEZ had pillaged from several defenceless towns and villages. Previously to this decisive affair, GOMEZ had been repulsed from the town of Requena, which he attempted to take on the night of the 13th. Although the assailants were 7000 in number, and the tr,Ocations of Requena are in ruins, the National Guard of the leas), encouniged by the Governor, Colonel ALRORNOZ, exhibited so much determination, that Gomsz was glad to retreat. The moral eflbct of these successes has been highly serviceable to the Constitutional cause. The Ministers are encouraged to act with vigour, and something like pecuniary resources have been opened to them. A powerful army is actually in the course of being organized, to be commanded by RODIL; and bills drawn by General EVANS for the use of the British Legion have been discounted at Bayonne, to the amount of about 8,000/. The Madrid Gazelle is filled with decrees indicating activity and resolution on the part of the Ministers. One of them seques- trates the entire property of all Spaniards who, subsequently to the 1st of October 1833, have left their habitual residences, to serve, directly or indirectly, the cause of Don CARLOS; and nulli- Aes all sales and transfers of such property within the period men- tioned. The operation of the law is also to be prospective—the property of all future deserters to be forfeited in like manner. This proceeding is hand), but necessary ; the present state of affairs in
Spain admits of no tampering with traitors. All the regular troops of Madrid have been ordered to join the army of Room, who has left the capital with a considerable sum of money. The other decrees relate to the administration of justice, the raising of loans, the diminution of official salaries, and the freedom of election.
