PARIS, Monday Evening.—At the close of busi-
ness on the Bourse to-day, the Four-and-a-half
per Cents were quoted at 93f. 85c.
PARIS, Sunday Evening.—On passing a farewell
review of the two divisions forming the late camp
at. Boulogne, Marshal Baraguay d'Hilliers thus
addressed the troops :
" Messieurs,—The camps are about to be raised.
The army of the North is to be dissolved. You are
under orders to march to Paris, and I understand
all your joy. I should share it most heartily did I
not feel a deep regret at quitting regiments and
offices with whom I have served for the last 18
months, who have so entirely satisfied me, and
whom [ have been so proud to command, I know
not what the future may reserve for us, but if it
answer to my -desires we shall meet again, and in
that case I shall rely upon. you, as you may rely
upon me. We are: animated: by the- same senti-
ments of devotion to our country and the Emperor,
and we shall ever have for our rallying cry Vive
l'Empereur.' "
• The alluSion in this speech to "what the future
may reserve for us," will be understood when it is
mentioned that Marshal Baraguay d'Hilliers is
designated, by common report, as the commander
in-chief of the army of intervention in Spain. .

A new squadron of evolution is about to be
lormed. It will be composed of eight ships of the
line and three frigates, all steamers. This squadron
will be divided into two divisions, ono of which
will be stationed at Toulon under Vice-Admiral
Trehouart, and the other at Brest, with Rear-
Admiral Penaud for commander.

The:following paragraph appears in the Presse :
" A rumour was abroad yesterday that M de Morny,
riding in his carriage, and four, had been run away
The four horSes were killed, the coachman
was thrown off his box, and M. de Morny
miraculously escaped "
The:Prefect of the Seine has received from the
Lord Mayor of London a sixth instalment of
100,000 fr. on account of the London subscriptions
for the inundated. The Mayor of Nottingham has
also just sent to the prefect a sum of 500/. •
Pasts, Saturday .Evening.—At the Bourse the
Rente remained nearly stationary for the first hour,
but afterwards there was considerable animation.
In Credit Mobilier, which had been neglected all
the week, a large -business was done, and this
security may be said to have been the pivot of the
day's market. It Was quoted at the close at a rise
of 55c for cash, and 35c for. account The Rente
closed at 70.85 and 70.86, being a rise of 35c for
cash, and 10c for 'account. Very little business
was done in railways, and there was scarcely a
change to the extent of 5 francs in any line.

THE STATE OF SPAIN

The Madrid journals of the 23rd inst. have been
'eeeived.

• The Gazette publishes the following official de-
spatch from 'Barcelona :
" The moment intelligence of the change of
Ministry reached BarceFona the extreme parties
began to raise their heads. The agitation redoubled
when the rebellion of Saragossa became known,
and it was then ,evident that a collision was immi-
nent. During the night of the 17th, serious symp •
toms of disorder were observel. In the evening of
the 18th the movement broke out, a portion of the.
national militia j')ining in it. The demonstrations,
twice repeated by the troops to induce armed groups
to disperse, being attended with no result, the
military authorities were under the painful necessity
of repelling force by force. The barricades erected
in the streets del. Conde, del Asalto, and de la
Union, which lead to the Rambla, were carried
and destroyed, and their defenders driven from
position to position to the gates of the city. They
then sought refuge in the suburbs ; and at the
departure of the mail; on the 19th, they were
surrounded by the troops. The rebels suffered
severely. • Numerous prisoners were taken and
handed over to the Military Commission. General
Barsols, Deputy-Commander of Catalonia, who
with the force under his order, carried three barri-
cades, was wounded. The Ist, 3rd, 4th, and 13th
battalions of the national militia have been dis-
solved and disarmed."
Malaga and Granada had not yet submitted.
The Moderados were strenuously exerting them-
selves to prevent the re-organisation of the
National Guard. The Progresistas appeared
inclined to support General O'Donnell, as the last
hope of the Liberal party, but they had not yet
made known their decision on the subject. It was
considered certain that the present Cortes would
be dissolved. The Cabinet is not to publish its
programme until the entire pacification of the
country. The Queen had not accepted the resigna•
tion of Gen. San Miguel as Captain-General of the
Halberdiers. M. Heros, Intendant General of the
Palace, had likewise tendered his resignation, and
it was believed that her Majesty would accept it
General Ros de Olano had received the Grand
Cross of Charles 111. Instructions from the
Government had been sent the night before to
General 'Espartere; their contents, however, had
not transpired. General Ferraz had obtained a
Passport for France. M. Miguel Roda was still
spoken of for the vacant seat in the Cabinet. M.
Roda belongs to the. Progresista party.
The Paris Presse publishes a letter, dated Madrid,
July 23, in which the writer says :—" Marshal
O'Donnell finds all parties against him. He has
to contend with the Progressists and the Moderates.
He must already see that the cabinet which he
has formed can only be a ministry of transition—
the stepping-stone to a definitive government of
which Narvaez Will be-te head. This is evident,
logical, fatal. Wherehver O'Donnell turns he
finds a critical sitnation. If, on the one hand, he
would govern constitutionally with the Cortes, on
what benches would he find a maj nity to support
him, and to .reply to the interpellations which
would be addressed to him ? How could he explain
and justify his conduct? What guarantee can he
have that he may not bo overturned by an adverse
vote, which might even go to the extent of an
impeachment? But if,- on the other hand, he
would govern unconstitutionally, without the
Cortes, what security has he that he will not be
ignominiously dismissed by the Court, which can
never forget the humiliating defeat which he
inflicted upon it in 1854? Thus, whichever way
he turns, O'Donnell sees before him an abyss."
A despatch from Saragossa, July 23, says :--
" General Dulee has reached this town, and has
opened fire upon the-people. The insurgents were
discouraged in the fightil-whiacensued, and asked
for an armistice of five days. was granted."
A despatch from• BayOnne;- July 26, says :
?" Figueras, Oviedo, and Carthagena have pro-
nounced against O'Donnell. The troops of the
line and civic guards have fraternised. General
Falcon has, regular and civic, 31,000 troops at
Saragossa. The insurrection is spreading through.
out Catalonia."
