It was mentioned in our second edition last week, that
news bad been received of the defeat of GOMEZ in Andalusia, by Ge- neral ALAIX ; and such was the positive statement of a Madrid paper, since repeated by another journal of the same capital. But this good news has not been confirmed: nothing has been heard directly from ALAIX himself; and it is asserted that Go- mm subsequently to the date of the reported battle, had threat- ened Malaga, and levied contributions on its inhabitants.
M. LATOUR MAUBOURG, the French Ambassador, has arrived in Madrid ; but he brought with him a M. DE CASES, who has been more than once ordered to quit Spain, as a spy and a plot- ter. The man is quite notorious; and it is certainly a strange breach of decorum in the French Ambassador to allow him to form part of his train. It is said that he has again been com- manded to quit the Spanish territory, and that M. Matmoueo has not interfered in his behalf.
