A Royal decree depriving Don Enrique Maria de Borbon of the dignity of Infante of Spain and all other honours and titles conferred upon him ap peared to-clay. The text of the Ministerial pre amble to the decree is as follows : " Madame, —When everything is threatened and invaded by the fury of social revolution ; when the force and destructive tendency of this revolutionary movement attacks not only the foundations of the throne but those of society; when the Governments of order resolutely prepare to resist it ; when the threatened classes—threatened because they have something to lose—rally instinctively to strengthon and support to the utmost the principle of authority, weakened in so many ways, and yet the last anchor of salvation for secular society ; when, in fact, all the revolutionary elements, in formidable concert,. adopt as their watchword, and proclaim with all The fury of their instinct, levelling and dethronement— nothing that might happen could cause surprise. One thing, however, appeared to be impossible. It is, that a scion of the royal race, a prince of the blood, disavowing his dynastic origin with incorri gible obduracy time after time, should now by his acts excite the instincts of revolution, and weaken the efforts of the Government of his country, who, faithful to their oath, contend against it. But that which seemed impossible has, to the shame and in dignation of all, come to pass. It is not the first time, madame, that the well-tried loyalty and mon archical instincts of the Spanish people and their attachment to order have had to deplore culpable aberrations similar to that which forms the subject of the present statement, and they still remember the inconceivable acts of 1848. Your Majesty, act ing with your unvarying and inexhaustible munifi cence, :.hoovered honours and benefits upon the Infante Don Enrique. The republican revolution was then in fierce agitation at the gates of the Pe ninsula. Few were under greater obligations to stay its course than the Infante ; and yet, to the asto nishment of Spain and all Europe, forgetful of him self, forgetting everything, denying his country, his family, and his origin, and even reviling them, he took the lowest post among the inflamed adepts of the republic. With pain, therefore, but with the resolution of duty, the Ministers of that period considered themselves under the necessity of recommending to your Majesty the deprivation of the Infante, and your Majesty had to endure the bitterness of sanctioning this step. The Ministers will not add to the grief oppressing your Majesty's generous heart by recapitulating the mo tives of that determination. Written documents however remained, and even the infante himself, when disabused of his errors, could hardly hear them read without anguish and remorse. These charges have now been increased by a fresh offence. Your Majesty's unfailing bounty, reinstating the Infante, again bestowed upon him honours and favours. The Infante Don Enrique now resides abroad by his own choice. • The press of the country in which he resided proffered the most insupportable insults against the highest objects, such as good Spaniards never mention but with enthusiasm and respect. If any Spaniard more than another should have felt indignation at this, and come forward to redress the wrong, it was the prince, the near relative of the royal house, upon whom a thousand favours had been lavished. But the Infante Don Enrique, when it is not to be supposed that he could have been un aware of the fact, or of the reply of the Spanish Ambassador to the periodical which published the insult, bad recourse to the public press only to place on record and publish, without ever being asked for such a dec:aration, that his post of honour was not at the side of his Queen, but the foreign country which gives asylum to the refugees and political convicts whom he mentions. The undersigned Ministers, immediately upon receiving knowledge of the fact, sought an explanation from the In fante himself, since he did not disavow the commu ideation published under his name. To this effect the necessary instructions have been given to your Majesty's ambassador at that court. The Infante has been twice summoned to receive your Majesty's orders, but has left these requests unnoticed. Un der these circumstances the counsellors of the crown firmly resolved that your Majesty's authority shall be respected by all, without exception of persons or classes ; and, considering how greatly such deplor able excesses are aggravated by their inconceivable repetition, feel bound to propose to your Majesty the deprivation of the Infante Don Enrique Maria de Borbon ; and to that effect submit to your Ma jesty's sovereign approbation the following decree.

Naval and Military Intelligence. VALETTA, March 10.—Her Majesty's iron screw transport Megaera, Capt. J. Simpson, arrived on the 4th inst., after a fine passage of 12 days from Plymouth and Gibraltar, having on board supernu meraries for the fleet, among whom was Li gut. C. R. Drew, surveying-officer of her Majesty's ship Hydra, returning from leave. The Megara will take back to England naval and military invalids and time expired nien. She is expected to leave about the 24th inst. The Tyrian gunboat, Lieut.-Commander the lion. V. Montagu, and the Cockatrice gunboat, Com mander Bogle, left port on the sth inst., the former for Patras, to relieve the Enterprise, 4, Commander Bosanquet, which will bring back to Malta the Bishop of Gibraltar calling at Zante and Cephalo nia, to enable his lordship to visit the English families residing in those islands. The Tyrian will afterwards proceed to Candia to take the place of the Wizard, gunboat, Lieut.-Commander P. J. Murray, on being relieved by the Racer, 11, Contr. L. Brine, which arrived at Malta on the sth inst. from Alexandria and Suda Bay. The Cockatrice has orders to resume her station on the Danube, communicating on her way with - the Piteous and Constantinople. The Turkish steam transport Kars, ' from Constantinople and the Dardanelles, having on board 841 soldiers for the garrison of Tripoli, put in here on the 4th inst., having, although only at sea four days, run short of water, for which, on entering the port, biscuits were gladly bartered by the troops over the side of the vessel. No time was lost in sending her a tank of water, and she pro ceeded on the following day to Tripoli. The Egyptian steam yacht Mahrusa, Capt. Gcmelly Bey, arrived on the 6th inst. from Alexandria, to make use of our naval dock for cleaning purposes. The French steam frigate Eldorado, with 800 troops and 61 horses on board from Toulon and Algiers for Cochin China, which left our port for Alexandria on the 2d inst., after replenishing fuel, bore up on the sth inst., having, as it is reported, run short of provi sions and water. It is said there are 25 horses of pure Arab breed on board this vessel, which are being sent as a present from the Emperor of France to the Emperor of Japan. The Hawk, screw steamer, belonging to the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company, kft Malta on the 4th inst., for Messina, to overhaul the telegraphic cables between Sicily and Calabria, which have lately been out of working order. The appearance of cholera at Jersey has inbreed the Malta Government to impose a quarantine of 15 days on arrivals thence, and from the other Channel Islands. It has at ' the same time increased the period of quaran tine from seven to 15 days on arrivals from Girgenti, iu Sicily, and its vicinity, where cases of cholera continue to occur of a very type. ' Arrivals with clean bills of health from other parts of Italy and from the Calabrias are admitted to pratique. Among the passengers by the Pera from Alexandria for Gibraltar and South . amptou was the Count d'Alengen, who is returning to Europe from a tour in India. Rear-Admiral Hall, one of the directors of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, arrived here by the Ripon from Southampton on the Bth inst., en route to Alexandria. For some time past it has been rumoured that the squadron would be suddenly ordered away on a cruise. It is now said it will be put to sea to-mor row—the Victoria, the Prince Consort, the Ocean, the Royal Oak, and the Arethusa—under the coin mend of Lord Clarence Paget, and, after a day's target practice at the Tilfla Rock, on the south coast of Malta, proceed to Favignana, and the coast of Sicily. Arrangements have, I understand, been made to keep up communication with the Admiralty through the Consulate, so that in case affairs in the East, or elsewhere, require the presence of any of the ships at any particular quarter they will be al ways at hand. The English screw steamer Jarrow, which arrived from Port Said and Candia on the sth, brings news to the 2d inst. The insurrection is by no means quelled, and every effort is being made to keep it alive, not only by the Greek com mittee, but by agents of other foreign Powers. An English steamer, called the Dream, 460 tons, had hoisted Greek colours, and been taken charge of by a Greek owner at Syra. She is fitted with two guns, and it is no secret that she is intended to assist the Pauhellion in running the blockade. Two shots were fired at the Jarrow by a Turkish frigate, which mistook her for a blockade runner." A telegram received at the office of Admiral Sir Thomas S. Pasley, K.C.8., the Port Admiral and Naval Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, from the Admiralty yesterday afternoon, directed that the whole of the available seagoing vessels in com mission in the port should complete their prepara tions for sea, and be held ready to proceed to Ireland at an early hour this morning. The Hector frigate, returning stores alongside the dockyard, preparatory to being paid out of commission, im mediately on the receipt of the telegram com menced re-shipping her stores and bending her sails and would be ready to again leave Portsmouth harbour by high water to-day (Friday), en route for Queenstown. The Bellerophon frigate had but to take her powder and shell on board and could leave for Queenstown by daylight this morning. The Niobe screw gun vessel, w hich has been lying at Spithead having a new stanchion fitted, would also, it was expected, sail from Spithead at daylight this morning, and would be folio wed by two gunboats, manned from the paddle frigate Terrible, and the gunboat Stork, m anned from the Excellent. The screw troopship Himalaya is lying at Spithead, is readiness to convey the 613th Regt. to the Channel Islands, but at the present moment she is available for conveying two regiments per trip to Ireland, and the Bellerophon and Hector can well convey another regiment between them. We would again remark that there are 1,200 Royal Marine Artillery in bar racks at head-quarters if troops are wanted to take charge of any parts of the coast or of the harbours of Ireland. muster ust er The R strongly a at 111 Marine Light divisional Inf a h ead_ aqu telrsso. tier Majesty's yachts Victoria and Albert, Osborne, Alberta, and Ellin are all undergoing their usual repairing and embellishment courses for summer service at Portsmouth. The Elfin received new boilers yesterday from the steam factory de partment.

THE FENIAN INSURRECTION. (From the Times' Special Correspondent.) LIMERICK JUNCTION, Wednesday Night. I suppose that outside the steppes of Tartary and the Polar regions it would be hard to find any colder bit of-table land than this .Litnerick Junction ,Sta tion. • Just mowthe ,- scoUoS...wintry snow is lying thick . .on tic*round, a keen north east wind sweeps- the platform, and in the distance the mountains are frosted over, so that it is not easy to tell where cloud begins and mountain summit ends. The people thelziselves say that the sky fights against the Fenians. " That is the best flying co l um n," said my carman to-day, pointing to the snow-scud on the hill-side. " Those poor people must be dead with cold and hunger ; in such wea ther no one could live upon the mountains." This is the popular opinion, often repeated by those one meets. Even the soldiers, though well-fed and tolerably well-housed, suffer a good deal when on patrol duty ; and the sentries who pace the platform of the station night and day must have a terribly cold billet. Here and in the neighbouring garrison of Tipperary the men are of necessity huddled to gether with very little sleeping room, and for many nights together never take their clothes off. The goods' station here, open to all the winds that blow, is so occupied. In mild weather it would make not unpleasant quarters, but men and horses now must find the cold hard to bear. In Tipperary the mar ket-house, national school, and poorhouse afford more comfortable lodgings ; but all the conveniences of barrack life are of course absent. Still the men are cheerful, and submit to these small privations with great good temper. A grumbler is a great nui s tnce in a regiment, as he is anywhere else ; and in campaigning he does special mischief. As far as I have seen there is very little g r umbling among the pexcept at enemies, en.l ieswho keep out of sight ando o give s n n end of trouble, " j us t f or not hi ng at tr atno-odfaGy'ralntmstoet with Captain C. wn, four miles from all." Ma A s. t sey T , i a pp g e e r n a t r le y m , this place, who was taken prisoner by the Fenians on the night of the rising. They first called at his resideneeaboutmidnighta nd demanded arms. After some demurs, seeing that the men were determined, he gave them an old gun, but contrived to throw it out to them with such force as broke the stock in pieces. They then retired, and Captain Massey thought he was rid of them, but in a short time they returned, and asked whether he had not a blunder buss. They also inquired for one of the stable lads, whom they wanted to impress, and said they must search the house for him. Captain Massey opened the door, but they did not search the house ; they only said he must go with them to their leader. He was accordingly conducted by two men across several ploughed fields a distance of over two miles, until they joined a considerable body of insurgents, who were bivouacking along a hedge-side. There he was kept in close custody for about four hours. His captors were perfectly civil, and fulfilled the pro mise they had made him that he should not be mo lested. They said little, but spoke of their determina tion to have an Irish Republic. The British Govern ment, they declared, was a bad Government, and the people could not stand itany longer. The Fenian leader, who had ordered the prisoner's arrest, did not take any further notice of him ; and at the end of the four hours Captain Massey was released un conditionally. The object of detaining ] him was probably to prevent him from giving any informa- I tion to the constabulary until the Fenian plans were matured. lle fared better than another gentle man I have heard of, the son of a Protestant clergy man. The Fenians called at his father's house and demanded arms. Ile came to the door and handed out the arms to them ; and with a certain grim humour they said he was a likely young man, and would make a capital Fenian leader. S they forced him by threats to go on his knees and take the Fenian oath, after which he was made to accompany them to the houses of several of his friends, the gentry in the neiighbourhood, one being the houseof his own aunt, and collect the arms from all. If he hesitate lor hung back, half a dozen pike-points were in unpleasant proximity to his body directly. When the houses for-miles round had been thus visited, he being the spokesman and active agent by compulsion at all, the Fenians said he had done very well that night, and allowed him to go home, telling him that they might, perhaps, require his services again. It does not surprise one to hear that this gentleman has placed a very long distance between himself and the Fenians who played this unpleasant practical joke upon him. copy py of the Fenian oath was found upon Bourke, the man who led the insurgents at Ballyhurst, near Tipperary, and who, being on horseback, came to grief at his firstditch. "In thepresence of Almighty God"—so the oath runs—" I solemnly swear that I will not bear arms against, or by word or act give information, aid, or comfort to the enemies •of the Irish Republic until regularly relieved of this obli gation. So help me God !" The form of oath is not badly conceived, if the object be to procure its wide acceptance. According to its strict grammatical construction, the undertaking exacted is not to bear arms against the enemies of the Irish Republic—a droll way of advancing Fenianism indeed. But even as it would be generally understood, it does not pledge those who take it to anything more than Dr. Johnson thought was meant by subscription to the Thirty-nine Articles. " You are not supposed to assent to every one ; but you undertake not to preach against them." So this oath merely calls for something like neutrality, and probably, therefore, it is not the Fenian oath, but merely one or two ; the other relating to active support, and requiring from the neophyte a promise of obedience when he is called to arms. The unwillingness of the people to supply information may be accounted for in part by the extent to which the oath above given has been taken. Among other things- found upon Bourke--I believe he was called General Bourke — were some photographs of ladies and some doggrel verses, amatory and sentimental, which are bad enough to be original, and, if they refer to the career of the hero of Ballyhurst, are not very cre ditable to him. The Fenian leaders were prompt in punishing any breach of discipline or insubordination on the part of their dupes. One instance which occurred near Tipperary was told me to-day. A farmer's son, who says he was impressed by the insurgents, was out with them all Tuesday night. In the morning, feeling very hungry as well as very tired, he said he would go home to breakfast. As no military code, not even the Fenian one, can recognise the right of an army in the field to go every man his own way to meals, the Fenian leader objected to this proposal. However, the young recruit was unused to the rigid discipline by which armies are kept together, and being very hungry he was very wilful, and as he weighed the assumed delights of the morning rasher and hot tea against the remote prospect of his ha'- porth of bread and water from the brook, he stepped boldly out in the direction of home. The Irish- American leader of the Fenian Land went after him, and with an oath gave him his breakfast in the shape of a bullet through the thigh. The man is now under the care of a surgeon, and on Sunday Mr. Massey, a magistrate of Kingswill, near Tippe rary, went over to take his deposition. One would suppose that anybody who had been so treated would be anxious to bring to justice the fellow who had maimed him. But the farmer's son would not say a word by which either the leader or any of the party could be identified. It is suspected that there have been several other victims of this brutality ; but of course no information can be gained upon this point, except in cases like this where surgical aid is called for, and the truth thereby appears. As I write (midnight) the snow is falling heavily, and the snow drifts on the part of the line make it probable that the railway traffic will be seriously retarded. No day passes without its special trains for the conveyance of troops or commissariat stores front one point to the other, so that any interruption of the traffic will be exceedingly inconvenient to the military. Mr. Tighe, the stationmaster here, is set ting men to work to clear away the snow from the most exposed points, but the wind drifts it on to the , line at hundreds of others. • Aupt,yst, March 14. .; • - The .case -r of Mr. Ciiifton,'-'the'young-gontieniaU • charged ivith having a pistol, sonic bullets, and a skeleton key within the precincts of Portobello Bar racks on Sunday night, came again before Mr. M'Dermott yesterday. His father deposed that the prisoner had a license to carry a pistol, and the key was the key of the rear entrance to his father's house. With respect to the bullets, they had been cast by his father during the past week, and Mr. Crofton, finding them in a vase in an exposed posi tion, and fearing they might be stolen, put them into his pocket for safety. The Rev. G. De Butts gave the accused and his family a high character for re spectability and loyalty. Mr. Bradbourne, a gentle man iu the employment of Mr. Guinness, M.P., de posed that Mr. Crofton was engaged in the brewery, that he was a most respectable young man, and that he had recently signed an address of loyalty denounc ing the Fenian conspiracy. Mr. M'Dermoit said that, having fully investigated the case, he would dismiss the charge, and observed that Mr. Crofton left the court without the slightest stain upon his character. The same magistrate sent for trial to the Commis sion Michael. Walsh, who was brought before him on remand. He was arrested by Constable Berne on the morning of March 6, between Clonskeagh and Dublin, having in his possession a six-chamber re volver, a powder flask, and some balls. Among the false rumours in circulation yesterday was one to the effect that there had been disturb ances in the town of Arklow. On inquiry by tele graph the place was found to be perfectly quiet. Similar gratifying reports have come into town from all the railway lines. It is stated that the Government have given directions for four gunboats to be instantly de spatched to Dublin, and to be stationed in the River Liffey for the protection of the city. 7 It is also stated that it is in contemplation to Order the closing of all public-houses in the city and suburbs from 6 o'clock on Saturday evening next until Monday morning. The 89th Regiment arrived at the North-wall to-day from Portsmouth to reinforce the Dublin garrison, in consequence of the demands which have been made upon it for troops to supply the flying columns at present going through the country. Yesterday a large number of prisoners confined on remand in Kihnainham Gaol were fully com mitted for trial by Dr. Carte, military magistrate, on information being tendered by the military and police of their presence at the Tallaght affair. It is stated that the Special Commissions will be directed to all the judges. There will be four com missions sitting contemporaneously—for Dublin, Cork, Tipperary, and Limerick—two judges iu each court. The Lord Mayor is always included in the Dublin Commission, and he attends the opening, but takes no further part in the proceedings. The Cork Examiner says :—" The special commission is spoken of as likely to open in Cork so soon as the Ist of April. It is said the judges who will preside there will be Chief Baron Pigott and Chief Justice Whiteside." A large quantity of barraolc stores, consisting of
