Hos-rans’ Leona—A correspondent of the London Mar- m' Chronicle gives a minute description of the nature of the “Hunter’s Association,” to whose Lodges the [snicrican President’s proclamation refers :—

“ Whether it ori inated in New York or Vermont—who. the! the M‘Keufidie Nelsons, the Cram, were its princi-

founders—w ‘ er the Baron Frettelin, or the Chen. ier de Lorimier, Were the persons at whose suggestion it was formed—we cannot say; nPither can we say whether it originated in the spontaneous. will and wish of its founders, or whether, at the very outset, to foreign influence_ In May, 18, the first let! s were formed,and Brian was elec- ‘Od 0‘00 0f lilo Grand ‘ les for Vermont. The object of this body will be best understood from the form of the oath administered toi members. It is literally this—J lswear ‘0 do my Utmost 0 promote Republican institutions and ideas throughout the world ; to cherish them, to defend them, and especially to devote myself to the propagation, Nowell“. afld’defonce of these institutions in North Ame- fi“" 1 Pledge my life, my property, and my honor to the Association. 1 hind myself to its interests ; and‘l promise, until death, that 1 will attack, combat, and help to destroy, by all means that tny superior may think proper, every Power or “mummy 0f R0111] Origin upon this continent,

have any possession or footing whatever in North America. so hel I'me, God !’ The organization of the Association is divide into three‘principal branches—the political, the mi- li , and the financial; which three branches are again so ivided into many sections. The classification of mem- bers is as followe— ]. A Grand Sasanen, or Grand Master, 2. Grand E131“, (Presidents ibi- the di ,3. Eaglqs,( iefs of Counties); 4. Grand Leaders,“ Chiefs of Districts); 5. Grand Hunters, lChiefs of Townships) 5 6. Chief Hunters, (Chiefs of Lodges) ; 7. Hunters. ~ “:The Supreme Let] a may he called the Executive and Consultative Council of the Sassnen; but in order to give a correct idea of the organization of the whole, we will carry our readers throu h the different ranks and classifi- cations. An inferior I go is formed of from twenty to thirty Common Hunters, having for head a Chief Hunter; two!) to thirty of these Chief Hunters form the lodge of a Gran Hunter; twenty Grand Hunters form the lodge of a Grand, Leader. The Grand Leaders are members of the Council of the Eagle, whilst two or more have consultative votes in the direction of the society under the Grand Eagle in each state. ’It will be seen that the whole, or the princi- of this organization, is mistrust; and it must be tit-know- d that, if the discipline and the statutes could have been enforced oxtent proposed, it would have created , mly more mlscbiefthan it has yet done. 7. the rules ofthssociety, every member, of whatever rank, isobligedm, r vide himself with a rifle or musket, a sword or II?!

The number of lodges in the States not mentioned may amount to from 50 to I“). The number of members, if taken at the minimum, may be fairly calculated at 80,000 able bodied men, and there are not fewer than 120,000 voters in the Association. The funds, donations, extra contributions, and a rigid eco- nomy, in 1&9—40 and part of 1841, had so much increased as to save above 300,000 dollars as a reserve.

SPAIN. _

The insurrection in Spain is at an end; its failure at the

last having been rapid and complete. On the IIch Oct, the

troops in Aliva and Guipuscoa,ofiiccrs as well as men, made their submission to the Government. Bilboa did the same on the 20th. On the 20th, O’Donnell ordered the final eva- cuation of Pampeltma by some troops which he. had left there. On the 21m, General Alcnln marched upon Tolosa. On the same day Rodi] eiitcrcd Vittoria; where Monies de Don was seized and shot. On the 22d, gnome" arrived at Urdax, with 2,500 men, on his way ‘mto ance_ He Was accompanied by Oi-tegosa and Jaurcguy (El Pastor.) Count Montcrron and a few members of the provincial Bop“. gluon of Guipuscot’. also passed into France on the same

ay.

The capital was quite tranquil. The arrests of the Ma- drid COUSPU'ntOI‘S are now said not to be so numerous as was at first Sl'.pposcd; but they were more important. Several OfIthIe chief conspirators were pursued and arrested in the neighbourhood of Madrid ; and Diego Leon was among them. He was taken in the full uniform ofa General of flu-“Sara, and carrying upon his person all his crosses and orders. In his possession was found an autograph letter of Maria Christina, giving him full powers to establish a Pi‘g- vincial Gorernment till her arrival in Madrid. He was ex- ecuted on the 15th, immediately outide the gate of Toledo, by a piquct ofthe Cacadores of Lucliana. A flush ofIhts .na— tural courage illuminated the last moments ofthe ill—fated chief On arriving on the fatal ground, he descended With perfect composure from his carriage, and Walked With the utmost firmness of tread, dressed in full uniform, to the spot marked out for him to meet his sorrowful end. He there, embracing General Roncali and the clergyman in atten- dance, addresscd a few words to the persons present, with a full and unshaken voice. He denied being a traitor or a coward, of which he had been accused: he had given, he said, many days of glory to his country, and he did not re- pent it: ifhc had done injury to any person, he there beg- ged thIcir forgiveness, as he forgave his enemies; and rai- sing Iiis voice, with an animated gesture, cried ‘ Viva Isabel Segundo! Viva la Liberturl ! ’ lie tlien bade his brother soldiers farcWell ; and giving himself the word ofcommand, the piqiiet fired and lie was no more.

The cliiefattcntion is now turned to Barcelona, where a sort oflocul revolution has grown out of the rebellion. We are indebted to the .lIorni'ng Post, for the following resumé of the iifliiir— ‘

“ We must premise, that the destruction of the fortifica- tions of Barcelona has long been a favourite project of the revolutionary population of that town. At various periods petitions to the Madrid Executive have been addressed for that purpose; but even Espartcro had refused to sanction the wished-for demolition. The Burcelotia'Republicans bad the same antipathy to the citadel as the Parisians had for their Bastile in bygone days, and for their Bustiles now erecting. The same reason for this dislike is alleged,— nnmely, that the fire ofthe forts was more intended to am: the population than to be employed against a foreign foe. Chance has placed it in the power oftheinfuriates of Bar- celona to acliive their object; the town and citadel having been completely evacuated on the night of the 25th by the troops of the line who had been despatched to join the Captain-General, Van Helan, at the French frontiers, leaving General Zabaln in the command of Barcelona. 'In 'the atternoon ofthe 15th, it up ears that the National Guards, who have been well provit ed with ammunition, on the first news of the events at Madrid on the 7th ultimo, and the out- break in the Basque Provinces, were placed in the citadel on duty. The opportunity was too favourable to be lost; and on the 26th two of the most formidable bastions com- manding the town were razed; and in imitation ofthe French Revolutionists wholpulled down the Bastilejthe stones were solemnly paraded. Th is act of demolition received the sanction of the local authorities, except, of course, the Poli- ticalChiefand General Zuhalu, who hold their appointments from the Madrid Government. We do not entertain the slightest doubt that the Work of destruction was the result ofa combination and understanding betWeen the French Republicans and those of Barcelona. It now remains to be seen what part the Regent will play in the opening scene of the Republican drama. \Ve doubt whether Espnrtero has either the power or the inclination to punish the offend- ers. He cannot risk a quarrel with the Catalans at this moment; and he is under the deepest obligations to them for the support they not only gave to him when they raised him by their emeutes to the Regency, but for their cordial co-operation to put down the late insurrection.”

It is remarked that O’Donnell and his brother rebels were allowed to enter France armed and on horseback; and that they are to be placed in various towns, all of them near the frontier. ‘

The following details "ofthe death of General Borso di Carniinati are given in the .Me‘mori'at of Pau 2—“ The gene- ral was arrested at Borja by a national guard, who refused to let him escape, although the captive ofi'ered him the bribe of80 ounces (6,400 1'). After being imprisoned at Borja he was conducted to Saragossa, where he had not long to Wait for his execution. On Monday, the 11th, he was brought out, holding a crucifix in his hand, from which he never re- moved his eyes. On reaching the public square his progress became very slow, for the cavalry \vliicli escorted him had great difficulty in clearing a passage through the assembled multitude. At length he arrived at the gates of the town, and there was shot. He died with great courage.

PORTUGAL.

Letters received in Lisbon from Castenco, bearing'date the 6th of October, mention the inhabitants of that place as under a considerable degree ofalartn, in consequence of the Administrator ofVisue having directed the authorities of Mangualdi, Castenda, and Cannes de Senherim to be on the.alert, form guards, and, if necessary, demand troops, as he was aware ofa band ofrobbers being about to unite in that neighbourhood, for the purpose of plundering some wealthy houses in those towns andvtheirdistricts. A simi- lar attempt was anticipated two months ago. Such is the tranquillity of the provinces! The Pope requires of the Portuguese gwemmem that the convents at Coimbra, Oporto, and Lisbon be given u for the residence of the ejected monks. These propeme': have been sold. Moreover, his holiness declares that 'no bargain In respect thereto, with the recent purchasers, can be holditiIiIg, althoIiIigh soldd byIIthed government.

DisTasss AMONG 'rnr: VVoaKiNG CLASSES A'II‘ Leaps—«The distress in present existing among the working classes in London, and in the great pi-ovmcial towns of the country generally, is, we believe, altogether unprecedented. Fortu- nately, means have been taken in some towns (and we must like measures will be adopted inI all places where distress prevails to a great extent) to obtain an exact knowledge 0f the numbers in a state of destitution. At Leeds, the “Leeds Unemployed Operative Enumeration SocieIty,”Ire- cently established, have, by actual personal examination, ascertained that in Leeds there are at this moment upwards of 20,000 persons Whose average meansI ofIsubs1stenceI‘ is less than one shilling each per week. This is a fact which speaks ti'Umpet-tonguIed, and must, among others, compel any government speedily to afford Isome relief to the people, ifit has any desire to contiiiueIin power, or to preserve peace and quiet in the country.
