PROCLAMATION BY THE
GOVERNMENT.

The following proolamation was issued on the 15th
by O'Donnell and his colleagues :

lehabitaats of Madrid !—The situation la which her
Majesty's goveramtnt, with (nehmen mad loyalty, now

oat. Your conduct has put the government into a painful
perplexity.

mew, you have been drawn on to cuisequenoss which your

li¢erties, finds heelf under the necesseity of resirtiog to
means which are not agreeable to the mitintents of its heart.

between the government and you. It is no 'laird* ambi-

The Paris Monaeur publishes the following state•
mints:

The news from Spain la reessurlng A telegerphie des-
patch of the 16th bat already announced that tranquillity
was completely re•establiahed at Madrid; that the dis-
arming was booing actively carried out, and that free mm
munication was restored throughout the city. Oa the
morning of the 18th o, movement was apprehended at Bar-
celona, but the attitude of the troops resssured men's minds.
In fact, a few groups that collected is the nouns of tha
afternoon were promptly dispersed. We learn that os the
19th tranquillity was restored; the militia had been dis-
armed and dissolved.

A latter from St. Sebastian, dived the 19th, states that the
electric communication with Madrid wo still uninterrupted

by the movement at Saragossa. Navarre, Birosy, sad
Ouipusocia were quiet The past and the diligent., from
Madrid bad arrived, witbout meeting with any ebstacle, in
the morning. the Captain•G 1 Echagne was at
Tadela, with several battalion,. They had no news from
&ragtime. The news received from Madrid gave manna
that tranquillity would be maintained. Oa the 18th
the whole of the National Gaud had laid down their army,
and the inhabitants had resumed their ordinary occultations.

The Captain-General of Catalonia bag addramed to the
Spanish Vice-Count at Perpignan the following despatch:
" BARCELONA, July 19, }-past 1 p.m.
" Tranquillity is re-established. The militia is disarmed
and dissolved.

" AtJniequiera there was an insignificant movement."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(raox ova OWN co]

PARIS, MONDAY EmwncO.
There is still no telegraphic news from Madrid.
The ordinary letters, from which I subjoin copious
extracts, are to the 17th. There is still no certain
intelligen.e as to the whereabouts of Espartero.
Several accounts affirm that he is at the English em-
bassy, while others rec:at that he is at General
Gurrea's house. Contradictory stories are told of hie
attitude. Some say that he attended the sitting of
the Cortes which was dissolved by O'Donnell. It is
report-4 that the mountaineers of Catalonia have
risen.

The Measager de Baycnne of July 19 says it is not
true that Esperroro hes ever left the house of Gene.
ral Gurrea since he went to reside there. But
although he has not put himself at the head of the
instrgen.v, neither hu be done anything to pat
down the insurrection. The Queen showed gnat
presence of mind. She went into the etreets twice
to encourage the troops by her presence. Accord.
ing to the same journal a new aynntiamento has
been appointed, at the head of which are the Mu.
qu's de Perales and the Duke of Alba.
Serrano Dominguez is Captain-General of Madrid.
The Measager gives the following account, which
it will be seen diffas from others, of the death of
Pucheta on the 16th :

At eleven o'clock the band commanded by Pachata was
la the Plaea Santa Crux, where it kept up a matt fire.
At one o'clock the same band was lighting h►rd in the
Strode Olive, Jacontetrezo, and Cabed►.

At four o'clock, Pacheco, being driven into a corner near
the Plate Cebada, was recognised by some of the populace
end piloted out to the soldiers at the moment when ►e was
about to escape by the Teed° gate. Ile wee arrested, and
taken to the Place Cebada, whirs he was shot, on the very
@yet whirr, two years since, he executed his worthy rived
Francisco Chico. his dead body iris exposed to the pub-
lic, and dragged through the streets en a cart. According
to another version, Nava was discovered near Villaverda
and was shot a few minor(' afterwards.

Besides Packets, another bullfighter, named
Choi% is said to have bren killed during the struggle
at Madrid.

The three stories of the Hotel de Villa Hermosa at
the corner of the Prado are thoroughly devastated
and the furniture btoken to pieces by the firing.
The Pate is published the following paragraph as
to the intentions:of Marshal Nunez, who, as you aro
aware, has gape to Bayonne :
If order shall be prcmptly re•establtahed, be will give op
the idea of returning the Peninsula. Bat in ease the icier-
rection shall heroine general, cr ',peer fcroidable on as,
particular poise, he will seed a note to the Queen's govern-
ment, uttering his a, trims and those of the friends who
share Die political cpinions. In any cue the Marshal will
not enter Spain unless his offers shill he accep•ed.

There is no confirmation of the statement that
eighty-five members of the Cortie have arrived at
Saragossa. The French government journals, with-
out positively denying the fact, are instructed to
throw doubt upon it. They all say, in nearly identical
terms, that O'Donneli's cavalry being master of the
country surrounding Madrid, would not probably
have allowed so many deputies to leave the city.
Of the twelve crptain-generals now commanding
provinces in Spain, seven were appointed under the
exclusive influence of O'Donnell, and live
upon the recommendation of Espartero. One
of these latter is the Lieutenant•Oeneral
Falcon, Captain-General of Arragon, upon
whom the hopes of the insurrection now seem mainly
to rest. His appointment was greatly opposed by
O'Donnell, and &puler() only obtained it by ex•
pressing his firm determination that it should be
made.

The following private despatch wu received in
Paris at nine o'clock yesterday evening:

Marseilles, Jaly 20.

The packet from Satrelose has arrived. The passengers
report that in tLe night of Friday they heard tt.e fire of
goes aid musketry. At five in the :morning of Saturday.
the firieg bad ceased, cud the town was occupied by t►e
military force.

MM. Patricia Ercosura, Pascual Sheiks, Sagasts
Calvet, Asoeuoio, and other deputies who had headed
insurgent battalions of the National Guard, had cot
been found.

The following details have been received of the
movement in Barcelona during the 18th and 19th:
