THE INSURRECTION IN SPAIN.

Letters front Madrid, up to Friday last, have
come to hand. At that date the absence of tho
Queen was freely attributed by the inhabitants to
an intention on her part to abdicate. The
representation of the official journals that General
Prim was not in harmony with the other chiefs of
the movement is ridiculed by our contemporary,
the Temps, which believes all that has taken
place has boon according to previous concert.
" Admiral Topete," it says, " is one of the most
determined of them all to secure a radical
change."
Several foreign ministers assembled yesterday
in the house of the Marquis do Moustior, at Paris,
in order to confer on the subject of Spanish affairs.
It is said that the moral results of the conflict
occupy a more prominent position in their delibe-
, rations than the military movements.
Cabrera, the old Carlist chief, is said to bo lying
ill at Kensington,nnable to leave. Gonsalesßravo,
who has a large fortune, is occupying a villa at
Pau. It seems that he and his follow fugitives
were loudly hissed at Bayonne, and were obliged
to take refuge in a shop.
M. Pined has addressed a circular to all the
prefects upon the southern frontier of France, in
which he instructs them to allow refugees front
Slain to pass, without distinction of party,
mud to permit any to return who may wish to 11,)
so, save those who, having taken up their residence
in France, have reeeivetl subsidies from the im-
perial government.
Quetn isabella. according to one account, was
profoundly moved by the cows which reached her
from all parts, and which reported every day the
widening spread Qf the insurreetien, Struck with
the solitude which was surrounding her from
hour to hour, and with the departure from
the same port of Kan Sebastian of the war
vessels which had arrived then) by her
orders, and the crews of which had boldly
,pronounced in favour of the movement, her
Majesty was, it is stated, full of hesitation and
yerplexity. She occupied the palaeo of the infant
Don Sebastian. which is outside the town, awl
situated on the sta-shore. Latterly it has oc-
curred to her that this building might he cannon-
aded by a vessel passing at a distance, and she has
sought refuge at the Hotel de Ville. As for the
King, " he smokes his cigarette, and walks on the
beach, admiring the beauties of nature."

A letter from San Selnuitian of Friday last gives
a strange account of the behaviour of the Quoon.

crushed fortes of Novaliehee, and swollen by the insur-
gents of Grenada, Murcia, and the south of Valencia,
will arrive in the pr. senee of Prim by way
of Baden, Ciudad Rodrigo, and Toledo. The
royalists, in order to prevent the realisation of these

Minister that the Spanish Government could no

English Government could therefore take the mea-

DEATH OF COUNT WALEWSKI.
PARA Rim 28.

Count Walowski died at Strasburg yesterday
from a stroke of apoplexy.

POLAND.

If the correspondence of the Nord-Esl is to be
believed, the Emperor of Rll3Blll, seeing that hie
journey to Warsaw must eoinoide with that of the
Emperor of Austria to Lemberg, and doubt-
less fearing that the difforenoo might be
remarked between the weloomo aocorded to their
respective sovereigns by the Polish populations of
Austria and of Russia, manifested an intention to
give up his visit to Poland; but, learning that the
Emperor of Austria is not going to Lemberg, he
has given orders that a magnificent reception
should be prepared for him at Warsaw.
