The advices from Madrid are to Dec. 8th, and from Bayonne to the 27th. Nothing important had occurred. The Bayonne Sentinel of that date, says—
"Since Gen. Mina has taken the command of the army in the north of Spain, the volunteers in the cause of the Queen have greatly multiplied, and the village of Peralta has just sent 60 of its young men, whom the Commander-in-Chief immediately armed and equipped. The ladies captured by the Carlists, and constantly carried about in their train, have been released for a ransom of 70,000 francs." "On the 20th inst. the priest of the village of Nabazcoez was strangled by the Christinos at Pampeluna, they having discovered a depot of arms under the altar of his church. On the same day, the sharp shooters presented to Gen. Mina 30 rebels, whom they had captured in the environs. He gave them their choice, either to repair to their own homes, to rejoin the Carlists, or take service under him. They all made their election to join him, and were immediately incorporated in a battalion of the Queen's sharp-shooters."
