LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE COUP D'ETAT IN SPAIN.

Several despatches 'situating from the dominant
' party at Madrid have been remind aim* our last.
Two of these are as follows :

"MADRID, JOLT 16.
_EVENING.

"At eight o'clock this morning the insurrection
was overcome on all points. General Concha ob-
tained pareessiou of the Toledo-gate. As some of the
insurgents still held the Plus Suede, measures
were taken to attack them. The various bodies of
the lower orders wore eixamanded by Pashas.
" At 10 o'clock the last remains of the insurgents
dispersed throughout the city were annihilated.

"Twelve pietas of artillery were in position in the

Marshal O'Donnell, has jest reviewed the garrison.
The troops and the people received their Majesties
and the Marshal with enthusiasm.

" To-morrow will take place the solemn burial of
the soldiers who have died gloriously in defending
the throne and order.

of Ighti mg."

Our Pane oorreepoodent writes under date of yes-
terday evening:
" No private despatches from Madrid have been
delivered to-day. The fair inferenos is that the
latest news cannot be very favourable to the rear
tioeary cause. A good deal of official intelligence
has been received, some of which has been moment-
:fated to me. The moat important new fact is that
a legal essemblage of a certain number of members
of the Cortes has been dieperesd by force by Marshal
O'Doenell. A despatch states that forty members
set together for the purpose of convening the Cortes
is a legal way. This proceeding was perfectly re
plan The constitution provides that twenty
members of the Cortes may meet together and
summon that body to assemble during a period
of prorogation, on the ground of urgency, and that
fifty members shall constitute a hones competent to
proceed to business. The step taken by O'Donnell
in dissolving this legal meeting was in itself s
coup creiat. It is a very important fact that this
meeting of the Cortes wen presided over by Cieneral
Infante, who has been represented as a mediator.
This looks more as if the first despatch, speaking
of him as a leader of the insurgents was true. There
can be little doubt that if O'Donnell madame to be
nester of Madrid, the Cortes will speedily meet
eleswlteto and organise a military force for their
prettied=

" A remora has been current all day that Espartero
has been arrested, but Ido not believe it. O'Donnell
must feel himself in a desperate condition indeed if
be can have had recourse to such a measure, for it
would inarease the insurrectionary Airy tenfold. A
great many towns in Spain are already in a state of
insurrection. It is said that Burgos, Valladolid,
Seville, and Bemoan have proclaimed the republic.
It is confirmed in many quarters that the rising in
Saragossa is very serious indeed. Nothing is yet
known of Espartero's movements, but this much is
certain, that he did not resign, es has bun indus-
trionaly reported, because he was tired of public life,
but on account of in open rapture with O'Donnell.
His friends here think it highly probable that he
will find is the interference of O'Donnell with the
legal privileges of the Cortes a sufficient ground to
eons forward as an active partisan of the popular

Yesterday evening's Petrie says :—" According to
the latest despatohes and the information which ham
reached as, the insurrection at Madrid has been
entirely put down by the energy of Marshal O'Don-
nell and the royal army. General Infante, who had
attempted to play the part of a mediator between the
two parties, had easembled together Softy members of
the conetitsent Cortes at:deals own presidency, but
Marshall O'Donnell dispersed them by fore% On
the other Band it is said that insurrections have
broken out simultaneously on several points of the
provinces, so that the prosisatation of the state of
nip throughout Spain was no mere measure of pre.
caution. We abstain from reprodocisg all the
rumours in circulation eases yesterday, which are
naturally tinged with exaggeration. We cannot fail
shortly to be informed by positive despatches of the
real condition of the Peninsula. The National
Guard of Madrid has been disarmed.•

A letter in the Pays, dated a few days before the
outbreak of the insorreeties, says : "The army charged
with the defense of Madrid consisted of about 18,000
men and three brigades of bores artillery. The best
regiments had been quartered in the capital, and the

The ,Assonelife, a journal always exceedingly
hostile to Evaristo, has the following remarks on
the crisis:

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

Wilk TimmsAs Evionza.

I leant from what I consider a reliable scares,
that the French government has already given orders
far the formation of an army of observation on the
Spanish frontier. The Oarabiniers which were
quarrelling the other day with the Imperial Guard at
Versailles have, I am told, received the roes for
Narbonne, where they will be joined by other Tee-
moots.

I bare heard it aalrmed several times to-day that,
in reasniumose of the serious state of Wain in Spain,
the Emperor has seddeely left Plombieres, and is
expected in Paris this wetting; bat although this
news is probable enougb, I cannot undertake to say
that it is true.

Spanish coup tritat : but, curiously enough, it gives,

from the Madrid Gazette of 4th May, on the " Re-

Lord Lyndhurst's speech on Italian affair. is given
at great length.
The sodden upward movement at the sloes of the

from Madrid was anxiously inquired for, and in the
absence of any reliable intelligence, business was
almost at a stand still. The Rents fell lOc. for

"Thesrrival of Marshal Pillager in Franoe,"says,
the Carrier de Marseille, "is likely to be again re-
hided. From information which we have every
reason to believe exact, we are enabled to announce
that the Commander.in•Chief of the army of the Eut
need not be expected before the end of the month.
This new delay will be caused by a visit which the
marshal is to make to Athens, in order to ascertain
from personal observation the political situation of
Greece. Afterwards, Marshal Pelletier will decide
whether an end ought to be put to the occupation of
the Pilau by the French troops, or whether the
forces belonging to Frau* in Greece ought to be di-
minished or inoreseed."

The Moeigeer officially confirms the acoount sre
have already given of the appointment of Aid►de-
Camp General Count Biueleff, Minister of the Dc.

" he engaged fifty rooms foe himself and unite at the

ness is to arrive here, it is said, on Sunday next."
The &fele makes the followiog observation. on
the late debate on the Italian question in the English
Houses of Parliament :
It is no doubt to be regretted that the dismission was sot
more conolselm—more decidedly favourable to the op-
posed papulatiess of the kingdom of Naples and of the
Roman States. Nevertheless, the tourer revolutimuy

GENOA, JOLT 14.

Austria has not, fora long time, made preparation'
so menacing to Italyas she is making now. Wean not
' so weU acquainted with the movements of her troops
within the frontier of her Lombardo-Venetian states,
but in the Doehise of Modena and Parma, as like.'
wise at Anoona, we see that she is preparing for great
events.

At Ancona, Austrian °Boers have been inspecting
the batteries; they are constructing wake of fortifi-
cation, and filling the magazines with military stores.
The general who commands in the Legations is direct-
ing his attention to the fortresses that command the
roads and defiles; he is arming them with cannon,
so as to make himself muter of the strategic points.
At Massa, on this side of Italy, another Austrian
commandant has had muskets conveyed to the
fortress, where he has laid in fresh @applies and
munitions of war. In the duchy of Parma General
de Crenneville has not retired, ea be threatened the
Regent he would do, but, on the contrary, has de-
clared that, under certain circumstances, be would
raise the strength of the garrison in the city of Parma
to two or three thousand nen, and place troops at
Pontremoli. In the inferior of Lombardy we know
that camps for field practice have been formed.
In the pomace of such measures as these Piedmont
has been obliged to take hers. Without waiting for
the convocation of the Chambers, a royal ordinance,
dated from the Castle of P.lleozo, hal directed the
commencement of fresh fortifications at Alessandris,
the object of which I will now explain.
In 1848, Field-Marshal Radetzki, having evacuated
Milan and the principal towns, concentrated his
army, for the sake of security, in the square space
formed by Verona, Mantua, Peachier., and Lapano.
It is for a similar object—for the sake of shelter and
deface—that Piedmont is now forming a square, of
which Aleseandria is to be one side. fibs is about to
=strict three other fortresses, connected by in-
trenahments and protected by the Tanaro, so that inl
case of surprise she may be able to collect there a
fora of 30,000 men.
Lord Normanby wished to proceed to Parma on
the 9th of this moth, that day being the anniversary
of the birth of Duke Robert L It was known that
General de Crenneville had predicted some disturb-
ances that might require the aid of Austrian bayonets. II
The predictions of the general may possibly have
revealed a scheme leisurely planned beforehand. Lord
Norman by wished to be thise, and it was not till the
10th that he lett with Lady Normanby for Maritsa.
There had been some talk of an amnesty and the
leaking of the state of liege on that day, but the
, Gazette di Parma announces merely that a few per-
sons have been pardoned.
' Count Bacciocei lett Marseilles by the Deasy's,.
with the legal* a later*. Bat instead of going direct
vo Civita Vecchia, the steamer made for Leghorn.
Mosesigneur Patrizi did not go on share, but the
Count did, and travelled by the Florence Railway.
This was puzzling enough ; bat we learned after-
wards that he went to Florence, not to negotiate
with Prince Demidoff about the Princess Mathilda'e
divorce, but to take advantage of Count Kiessleff's
presence in that city. The Count is a Russian privy
comic llor, and his mediation w.s desired for satis-
factorily arranging the position of the princess.
Daring the war the Czar Nicholas had stopped
the yearly allowance of 300,000 f. settled by
Prince Demidoff on his wife. Pesos having
now been concluded, Count Bacciochi's journey
was for the settlement of this affair in concert with
M. de Kisseleff ; but he could not have found biro at
Morelia), the Russian ambassador having left for
Rome. Os the 6th the latter bad an audience of the
Pope, for the purpose of presenting his credentials to
the Holy Be.. Count Beociochi will therefore go to
Rome.

The chief object of the Pope's interliew with the
Log of Naples, at Porto d'Anzio, was to effect the sale
of two Roman Prioeipalities that are land-locked, se it
were, in the Neapolitan territory, them of B to
and Pont. Cerro. Ferdinand 11. is still amid lest the
French should pat garrisons In these two cities belong-
ing to the Pope, which might thus baoome two centres
whence "Maritime would he propagated.
The Pope wishes to create an important town at
Porto d' Anzio, where there is alreadya church
dedicated to Saint " Pio Quisto.* From this
Pope's name, already venerated there, with his
own name of " Pio Nogg" as the future founder
of the embryo town, the combined appellation
of Porto Pio weld be bestowed apse it. A French

=k , M. Ificart, wishes to connect it with

about it with the Roman State. The purchase-
moseys paid by Ferdinand would be laid out on the
building of this new town. These sums would be
merged in tie so-called Chines" tribute, which has
long been a matter et dispute between the Holy Bee
and the Neapolitan government, and the difference
will in this manner be finally adjusted.

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna, of the 13th, says ATs
Deem was performed yesterday morning in the
Cathedral of St. Stephen, on the maxim of the
accouchement of the Empress. All the great digni-
taries of the state, the high clergy, the members of
the nobility now at Vienna, or who had arrived from
the provinces, the diplomatic body, the functionaries
of the court, and a numerous crowd of persons, were
present at the ceremony. All the Archdukes went
afterwards to Laxenbourg, to offer their congratula-
tions to the Emperor. The baptism of the young
Archduchess will take place on Sunday next, and an
express train will convey to Luxembourg for the
occasion the bike of the nobility."
