The session of the Spanish Cortes was opened on the
19th November, by a speech from the Queen Regent. Her Majesty had nothing satisfactory to tell her Parliament ; and could only express hopes of the improvement of the finances, and the expulsion of the Pretender. The Madrid Liberals call the speech "washy:, On her way instate to the Cortes, there was not a single cheer; the people stared at the show with sullen indifference. The severity of Eseetteeito at Panipeluna towards the soldiers who mutinied against SAARSEFIELL1, is represented as severe be- yond what the occasion required or prudence dictated: and but for the interference of Colonel WVLDE, more blood would have been shed.
According to the last accounts, the Cellist Generals are lode. fatigable in preparing their troops for a new expedition.
