THE COUP D'ETAT IN SPAIN.

PROCLAMATION OF THE PATRIOTIC

LEADERS AT SARAGOSSA.

At Beisgo3e^ on the 15th, immediately after the
reception of the news from Madrid, all the military,
political, and civil authorities of the province end
city, as well as the chiefs of the National Guard, r--
gambled at the palace of the Captain•Geceral of
Arregon, and in a sitting presided over by that
functionary, voted the following proclamation :
"Inhabitants of the province of Saragossa,—A'
shameful attack upon the cause of liberty has been
committed in the capital of the kingdow The
man, who in 1654 drew the sword in the name of
the law, has to-day forcibly talks. possession of the
government of the nation in contempt of that law.
He does not fear to shed the blood of the people that
he may substitute his arbitrary power for the national
sovereignty.
"The city of Hammes, ever heroic and the firmest
rampart of liberty, rennet remain indifferent in the
presence of such an attempt; it must constitute it-self
in open opposition to the ministry with the unshaken
resolve not to lay down arms until the liberty of the
country is safe.
"In bringing events and resolutions so grave to
your knowledge, the Junta of Saragossa invitee you
to rise as one man, to gather round it and hold yoc •
selves ready to resist the power which seeks to
impose upon us, by grape shot, its absolute will.
But the Junta cannot abstain at the same time from
recommending you to proceed with the greatest
moderation, avoiding ail that may compromise tho
owed care yon are called upon to defend.
"Consider the advantage which oar enemy would
gain from the slightest excess on your part, and the
joy with which he would see anarchy glide in
amongst us. All this would but give too many
opportunities for legitimising his intervention.
" Union and resistance to the ministry of the Count
de Lucena, and we shell save liberty from the &ti-
gers which menace it.
"President, ANTONIO FALCON.
" Vice•Preeidant, FALICIANO POLO.

"Members : Manuel Gorriga, Josquins Marin, Jose-
Cano Manuel, LOTODZO Maria Behmid,Candido Conde,
Simon Gimeno, Geronimo Bono."

The following despatch is published in a second
edition of the Mo►ning Post :

_
" SANTANDER, iIILT 21.
" St. Sebastian attempted a pronundamento, bat
order has been restored.

"Navarre and the northern provinces are tranquil.
olt is said that matters are in a fair way of
arrangement at Saragossa.
"The troops have entered Logrono without re-
sistance."

The Paris correspondent of the Pod gathers from
the on dila he has heard that "If the government
now established in Spain s•cessds in maintaining
itself in authority, Frances will of enures not inter-
fere. If the Progresistaa gain the day, and
by any chance the present Queen is re-
quired to abdicate in favour of the PtinC34ll
of Aetnria, and Eepartero is appointed Regent, still
France will not interfere. She will invade Spain
only in one of either of these two alternatives—
should, in the event of any unforseen casualty, the
Duchess of Montpensier beoome next heir, and make
pretensions to the throne, or should • republic be
declared."

The following was addressed by O'Donnell to the
President of the Cortes a few hours after its meeting :
