THE SPANISH REVOLUTION.
Intelligence of the farther progress of the insur.
rection in Spain has arrived via Paris. On the 18th
the movement party were in full possession of Madrid.
At two o'clock in the morning of that day there was,
engagement between the Royalist, and Constitution-
alists, in which the former acted most vigorously.
Barricades have been raised in several parts of the
city.
Next day (the 19th) we learn that the palace of
Queen Chr►stina at Sallamunda, near Granada, had
been sacked by the populace. It was reported also
that a battle had been fought between O'Donnell and
Blazer, in which the latter was defeated, wounded,
and made prisoner.
Narvaez has, it is stated, offered to assist the Queen
in her extremity by aiding in the formation of a new
Government. The names of prospective ministers
appear in a list published by the Madrid Gazette of
the 18th, but the marshal's name is not amongst
them. Of the six names given three are Moderates :
Duke Rivas, President and Marine ; Mayans, Foreign
Affairs; Rios Rosas, Interior. Three are Progressistas
—Lacerna, Justice; Entero, Finances; Roda, Public
Works.
General Garigo commands the cavalry at Madrid.'
The whole of Catalonia has risen. The Captain-
General leads the movement. There has been fight-
ing on different points.
Valladolid has pronounced. The Captain-General
and Governor have been made prisoners.
Espartero has left Logrono for Saragossa, to join the

The reply of the Emperor of Russia to the Austrian
note reached Baron de Bruck in Constantinople on the
Bth, and that minister at once communicated it to
the Divan, and to the ambassadors of the allied
powers. In consequence of this communication the
Ottoman Cabinet met and held two councils on the
9th. The next morning an aide-de camp from the
Minister of War was despatched to Varna, and
another to Schumla, with despatches for Marshal de
St. Arnaud and Omer Pacha. The object of these
despatches was, it is said, to inform these generals of
the resolutions come to by the Ministry, and to re-
commend them to advance.
Two more fires have occurred in or near the
Turkish capital. On the Bth the Khan called
Kurkgi, containing 325 magazines or depats of drugs
and furs, was completely destroyed. The loss of
merchandise is calculated at more than '200,000/.
On the 10th a fire broke out at Kandelly, a beautiful
village up the Bosphorus, and thirteen country houses
were consumed.
The marriage of the daughter of the Sultan to the
son of Redschid Packs. was fixed for the 17th inst.
It was not to be celebrated with the usual pomp, on
account of the present circumstances. Some fetes
would, however, it was expected, take place.
A portion of Montenegro has revolted. Prince
Danilo marched with 6,000 men against the insur-
gents, who have appealed for protection to Turkey.
