PARIS, THOLDAT EUNIXO.

You will not fail to have been etruck with the
great importance of the news from the Moniteur
contained in my telegraphic despatch of this morning.
After having previously stated that order was com-
pletely restored at Barcelona on the 19th, the French
official journal now confuses the falsity of its own
news by the admission that desperate fighting con-
tinued, without any other interruption than the night,
during the 20th and Ilst. Thus, the people of Bar-
alone, with an energy which if it were more general
would make the hearts of ermined tyrants quail,
fought for their liberties during four long days,
against a military force organised in expectation of
the outbreak by the court conspirators of Madrid,
and ordered to give no quarter. And even at the
end of the fourth day, after stating that the people
had been driven from their positions into the open
country, where they were "sabred by the cavalry,"
the Moniker can only anew itself up to
say that the nooses of the Queen's troops
"may be considered" as complete. The feebleness
of this enervation must strike every reader. In
fact there is strong reason to believe that the fight.
ing was again resumed on the 22nd. The following
despatch has reached Paris today:

. -
Kammlles, Thursday, July 24.
The Cid hat arrived with Barcelona news to the 23rd at
8 a.m. The troops wore masters of ell the positions, bet,
notwithstanding the tranquillity of the town, the sol-
diers still stood to their arra. The ahoys are reopening.
The struggle was moot bloody.
According to the estimate of the captain of the Cid, the
number of killed and wounded on both sides cannot be less
thin 1,200.

Families who have abasokeed Bueelona are still arriving
ban, bat eel is each numbers as daring the hot fur days.
The importance of the determined resistsnoe of
Bantam& is immense. It had been calculated that
that city, which is very republican in its tendency, and
was supposed to be dissatisfied with Espartero's con-
nexion with O'Donnell, would not pronounce. The
gallant conduct of the inhabitants must have greatly
thwarted the military calculations of O'Donnell, and
is calculated to encourage resistance in a multitude I
of other places. In fact, it may now be said
that if Saragossa, from which we have
had no direct news whatever for several days,
is still in a vigorous condition, there is good hope
that O'Dotinell's coup fetal will fail. His army is not
large, and he meet be in the utmost embarrassment
to know how to distribute it. The ridiculous story
is told by the Epoce (which seems a very hotbed of
lies) that many regiments which had been
ordered to go from Burgos and Valencia to
Saragossa bad turned back, because "they
were not wanted to restore order.* It they
did turn back, which is very probable, it was because
they were wanted elsewhere. Bat this evening's
Petrie tells quite& different story. It says that it is
not only from Navarre and the Basque provinces that
troops have been sent to Saragossa te " restore the
empire of the laws," but that a division formed in New
Castile, troops from Bingos, from Old Castile, and
from Catalonia, are marching against the rebellious
town. This does not look as if the stories which
the French wad Spanish governments tell of Sara-
gossa not being likely to offer any serious resistance
were believed by themselves.
The insurrection which the dfonfleur admits to be
going on in Gerona is very serious. General Ruin,
one of the best generals in Spain, and a determined
progreiwist, commands the insurgents there.
General Beesdi, the second in command of the
Queen's troops at Barcelona, was seriously, and as
00039 say, mortally wounded.

- -
There are rumours to-day among Spaniards of
many new risings in the provinces.
A Madrid letter of the 20th says that there is
already a disagreement between O'Donnell and the
Clues, who not liking her tool is in a hurry to throw
it away.

Theonly late news received from Madrid to-day is
a despatch (date not mentioned) by way of &int
Sebastian, announcing that tranquillity was perfectly
r►eatablished in the capital,—an announcement
which, besides that it comes from a quarter entitled
to no credit whatever, conveys but small evidence
of the success of the coup cretat in presence of what
is known by the admission of the Needier of the
general state of the country.
The statement that a battalion of the Almanza re-
giment, sent against Saragossa from Pampeluoa, bad
turned against O'Donnell, is confirmed. The batta-
lion "pronounced" at Soria while on the line of
march.

The Diario Espanol announces that a pronuncia•
meek, had token place at Logrono, but tt.at the re-
snit of it had been insignificant. It says, that the
same fate will attend the " agitation " at Alicante
and Carthagena— places which have not hitherto been
mentioned as having revolted.
El Parliament." affirms that Espartero has resolved
to reside in Madrid, and has taken a house there.
This news couflicts with a former statement that he
had left Madrid under escort. I think there can be
no doubt that, wherever he may be at this moment,
he is in point of faot a prisoner.
The Noredades says that MM. Ametler and Terare,
aides-de-camp to the king, have resigned, and that
the resign►tions of other functionaries holding high
rank in the royal household are talked of.
The Bourse opened to-day wi h a rise, the affirma-
tion of the Monileur that the insurrection at Barce-
lona was subdued bring set off against the announce-
ment of the prolongation of the struggle. But there
was a reaction afterwards, in ooneequenoe of the
absence of news from Saragossa. The Bente closed
at 70fr. 85c. and 70fr. 80c., being a rise of 10c. for
cash, and a fall of 20c. for account. Back of France
fell 75'r. Credit Mobilier rose 2fr. 50c. Railways
were, upon the whole, rather lower.

ITALY.

-.-
LOMBARDY.

TURIN, JLLT 22.
Lords Clarendon and Palmerston having, in the de.
bate upon the Italian question, left it to be understood
that, as neither the remonstrances of the Briti.li nor
French governments have had any effect in
diminishing the cruelties of the King 01 Naples, they
hope that some attention would be given to the
representations of Austria, I think it right to give
you the contents of a letter which a gentleman
yesterday received from Milan. The date is July 17;
the letter was not put into the Milan post-office, but
sent through the country, and shows the Austrians
are playing the same game in Milan as King Bombs
at Naples. They have doubled the house tax in
Milan, which now amounts to more than 80 millions
of francs. The municipality of Milan have protested
moat energetically, saying it is impossible for the citi-
zens to pay the sum, and asking for redress; and they
have quoted the celebrated Jacini, " sutore del libro,
' La Proprieta Fondiaria e la Populszione Agricola
di Lombardi,'" proving that the population can stand
no farther taxes. The Austrian Governor's answer
to them is a notice that all those who consider their
houses overtaxed will be listened to if they can
show other houses in Milan, similar to their own,
which are not highly taxed. The letter says, "We
are in a state of absolute madness. As we pus each
other in the street we shake hands, bat do not speak,
but look What must be done ?" What next ?" This
cannot last.'" The letter gives a great many details.
Great complaints are made by the proprietors of
grain and vineyards near to the bridges which cross
into Piedmont. The troops, with their waggons
and horses, are there bivouacked, and are causing
immense loss; but no complaint is attended to. I beg
you to remark the Jesuitical policy of the Austrians,
by strewing distrust among the inhabitants that no
onecan have a chance of justice until he gives infor-
mation against a friend, the Austrians giving coups de
,chei at Milan, and King Bombs coups de baton at
Naples.
