PARIS, WADxsuay lloanso.

At length there is intelligence of considerable
important* from Spain. The kwarrootion., so far
from being nearly put down, as the Madrid journals
have for several days been pretending, is evidently
spreading and assuming formidable proportions.

The Madrid Gazette of the 26th admits that
"then an still several towns in the province of
Granada in a state of insurrection," but it professes
to feel no uneasiness at the fact, which it attributes
solely to the circumstance of the troops being with-
out e leader, General Blanco having been "most
unexpectedly" taken prisoner by the insurgents at
Jaen. Private letters, however, put the elf+ in a
very different light.
It appears that at Granada the National Guard,
having obtained permission from the Captain-General
to ensemble, immediately .seamed a hostile attitude.
The troops sent against them "showed soma& hide.
elision "—that is the expression used by a party
favourable to O'Donnell—that the Captain-General
felt it momeary to "consent to an armistice of six
I days." In other words, he was constrained to allow
the insurrection to organise itself. The National
Guards put thensseltes in communication with
various neighbouring localities, when risings
I took place, and General Blanco, who had
been sent by Government to supersede the
Captain-Geoeral on account of the "weakness"
shown by the latter, was taken prisoner by the
brothers Merino while attempting to reach his post.
At Malaga the troops joined the National Guards,
and headed by the civil governor made theirpromess-
cionsenfo against the coup Vest. It is, however,
reported that all the officers above the rank of chef
ds I:Mail:on withdrew from their men. The latest
news represents Almeria and hen as still maintain-
ing a hostile attitude.
Letters from Barcelona, of the 26th, received at
Marseilles, state that General Zapatero held the
town with a force of about twelve thousand
men, and that the streets had " nearly" resumed their
ordinary appearance. The "greater part* of the
factory operatives bad returned to their work. Many,
however, had " followed the insurgents," w►o have
left the town, and, joined by the peasantry, scour the
country, having for their head-quartsre the mountains
in the neighbourhood of Barcelona. This is exactly
what was feared. At the date of the 26th it was
stated in Barcelona that Saragossa, having received
from various quarters detachments of regular troops
which had "pronounced" against the government,
formed a stronghold of resistance. It was added that
the peasants of Lower Arregoo were still marching
in large numbers to join the insurrection at Sara
goes., just as those of Catalonia rallied around Berms
lons. Them moouste go to corroborate the statement
as to the formidable numbers of General Falcon's
forces made by the Moniker a few days ago—a
statement which it has n retracted, although it
lits published less authentic intelligence not easily
rscomeileable with it. It is quite clear by this time
that the stories of General Falcon having fled, of
General Dulce having opened fire on Steepest seve-
ral days ago, and of his being in a condition to out
off the supply of provisions to the iostirgeat garrison,'
were all inventions of O'Donnell's party.
The Semaphore of Marseilles says

" The Spanish packet El Vifredo, which left Bares-
lona oa the morning of the 261 b, has arrived. The fol-
lowing is a mammary of the principal news :
" Barcelona has returned to its normal condition
most of the factories have resumed work. Sixties
thousand troops are ennosntrated is the tows under
the command of Geosral &pater°, governor of
Catalonia. If, however, the tows is calm, the sane
cannot be maid of the amine& The insurgents who
wars driven out ea the 21st spread them-
selves ever the coaatry, raised the peasan-
try, sad are at this moment emeareped with
Asa in the atolotaine. According to briars from

Barstow arrived at Barcelona at the moment of the'
departure of Bd Vibe& the numbers of the rebels
was continually increasing, in consequence of the
defection of some regiments in Armin, and of the
arrival of the peasant., who, as at Barcelona, made
common cause with the insurgent& The Queen's
troops sent from Madrid had not yet arrived."
A letter in the P►esse says:—" Two days ego the
Queen, obeying the suggestions of those by whom
she is surrounded, frankly demanded from Marshal
O'Donnell the return of her mother. The minister
only replied by a respectful silence."
The Madrid journals of the 25th announce that the
government bad determined to remit all punishments
incurred for offences against the laws which regulate
the press, and to order the cessation of all prosecutions
commenced. The Queen oelebrsted on the 24th the
anniversary of Queen Christina's birthday. The royal
household was dressed out on the occasion in its state
uniforms and liveries.
The Nacion states that M. Gonzales Bravo, who
was banished by the late cabinet, is about to return
to Madrid.

The Marquis de Albaida, one of the leaders of the
democratic party, is in prison as *wet at VsMinim
M. /*Tanis° de la &closure is in a similar position at
Madrid.

The officer in command at Granada, writing on the
22nd, states that several officers of different ranks,
who had quitted their revolted regiments in various
localities, had arrived there. The second battalion of
Ithe regiment of Arregon, the greater part of the ar-
tillery, sad a detachment of the National Guard, shut
themselves up in the Coale of Gibraltar°. The re-
volationary junta refused to allow any provisions to
enter the cudls till the troops in it threatened to bom-
bard the city. At Cadis there were some attempts ati
disturbance, but they were all repressed. Jean and
Almeria, it is said, continue their resistance.
The Gazette of Madrid says, "Notwithstanding
the disarming of the National Guard at Seville,
there were some disorders at the barriers on the 23rd.
Several of the rebels were killed, and order was
re-established."

We also read in the Gowns A oolumo, com-
posed of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, has marched
from Valencia to join Brigadier Damato, who is at
Villaverda, a province of Teruel, with forces sent
from the district of Atvagon. ♦s goon as the junc-
tion of these troops is effected, they will operate
upon Tinsel, to re-establish obedient)* to her Ma-
jesty's government and chastise the rebels."
The Patti* says.—" Oar despatches from Spain
contain news from Logo and Coronas. Logo was in
the enjoyment of the most profound calm. The
civil governor, who had attempted a pronnociamento,
has taken to flight. At Coranne, General Vas-
sallo continued the disarmament of the militia. This
news is of the 22nd."

Marshal O'Donnell has decided to form two new
regiments of sharpshooters of two battalions each,
to be composed of picked men from other regiments.
These troops will be armed with rifles recently
manufactured at Tadsla. O'Donnell has also
I appointed a commission to draw op a plan
for the organisation of a commissariat

1 upon the French system. The Petrie mays
with much esaiost.f, that the army occupies the mar.
share attention at this moment more than any other
institution of the country, and that he endeavours,
above all things, to usimilate its constitution to that
established in France. Taking France still tot his
model, he proposes when the National Guard shall
be

thiog of which there is no ques-
tion at present—that the officers shall be all named
by the government. A few days will probably de-
cide whether, while he thus apes so many things
from the coup d'ilat in France of December, 1861,
he will be able to add to the list the most important
item of all—success.

The Madrid correspondent of the Indegperadance
Beige, in his letter of the 26th, oommentiog on the
statement of the official journal that Saragossa and
Teruel were the only towns in which the insurrec-
tion still maintained itself, mks:

Supposing this to be the feat, do you know what Sara-
gossa and Tinsel ant In the wan of the French empire
several of the Freewill marshals, at the head of picked
troop, whisk bad conquered all Zurope, tried
without avail to master the former ei y. That
the goveromeat, after all, has very serious fears
about the result, is proved by its sending thither to•
day, from this ginner only, a gasatity of siege or-
finery, a haodnd waggons, eight hundred mules, several
(timpani's of Sepptre, altogether smolt an abundanee of
warlike mantis!, that, as the Evans observes this 'stan-
nic, no such formidable preparations are rementbend to
have ever before been made.

It appease that General Karguael, the Captain•Ganstal
of N , when on his way to Saragossa, accompanied
by two battalions of the line and a strong patty of cavalry,
was stopped at Cinco Villas, near Huns, by a body of the
insurgents. After a straggle of some hour., the royalist
trues were forced to boat a retreat, and in the utmost
but.. Some letters we rusived here had led us to elute
this event; sad the Tenons who wrote them, and who
occupy rather more than an independent station, anus as
today that in the north the insurrection will

c .nsidaratile sum fos them, sad bas saboeribed on hie own
account alas million reale to the treasury of the r.vola-
tionary Juts. The number of their raid milsti., inclu-
ding the battalions of •.luntsers sod the men who have
cones is from the mountains of Arragoe, ia estimated at
30,000.

The ume correspondent remarks upon the despatch
of the Captain• General of Catalonia, which was
given in the B.rpress of yesterday, and which Gene-
ral Zapatero (whose account of the affair seems not
very consistent with the statement previou.ly pub.
lisped by the:Madrid Garotte) concludes by saying
that after hie attack of the 21st, the insurgents with.
drew to Gracia and somewhat farther:

I will cot dwell on the coatradietioa which there is
between theme statemeate; It will give you • measure
of the credit which the official recounts demons; but it is
well you should know that an icserrectioc le more formida-
ble at Oracle, out of rasp of the artillery of the famous Fort

object of the lesurgents memo to be to maintain their post-
tica around or spas the summits of the snouotains is the
seighbourbool of Barcelona. Their intuition is to make
ammo. muse with &moms and Teruel.

With regard to the position of the government, the
writer whom we have just quoted says that (Mon-
mall has great difficulties to contend with, and that
if he should overcome them, it hi not he, but the
Carlista and polite* who will profit by the coup
They are actively at work, and the
brother of the Count do Montemolia, Don Juan de

Bathos, has left London already ; but in the
Basque provinces, where the Cachet faction is
strongest, there is no excitement as yet. The return
of Clasen Christina to Spain, notwithstanding that
O'Donnell has refused his consent to it, is
spoken of as very probable ; it would coca-
' aloft an obstinate contest. The correspondent of the
I Isedipeedasee asserts that the riots in the provinces
semi time ago, which were made the pretext for the
change of ministry, as well as the other disorders
which had troubled Spain since 1854, were instigated
by the priests, and particularly by the Car-
dinal Archbishop of Toledo, who lately expended
for that purpose a large sum of money entrusted
to him as Primate, foe the payment of the inferior
clergy. There are some people who even accuse the
minister O'Donnell of complicity in these intrigues.
Anothercorrespondentof thesamejournalstates that
the Madrid newspapers have been ordered by the
government to abstain from publishing " false news,"
that is, news unfavourable to the royal cause.
However, proclamations from the Junta of Saragossa,
inviting the soldiers to desert, with promises of a
remission of their term of service, are profusely
circulated at Madrid.

The re-assembling of the Cortee at Baragoesa MOMS
to be doubtful, since many members of the liberal
party remain still at Madrid.
