terms of his public career in America, obsorves
that he is entitled to a courteous reception in
this country and deprecates the manifestation of aoy
adverse spirit. There is nothing in his speochos in
America to warrant suspicion, gual English interests in
Ch:na cannot be subaerved by by any discourtesy towards
the most important deputation from China that has ever
visited this country. No doubt the Emperor and people
of China regard the sending of this commission as an
important event in the history of their country, and its
washers will carefully report their reception.

The Marquis of Unte left Cardiff yesterday for

A correspondent in Cardiff, writing in allusion
to the reports recently circulated respecting the Marquis
of Sete, says :---" As was the custom of his late esteemed
and venerated mother he is during his stay at the castle
tamest invariably to be seen on Sundays at the parish
church of St. John's. On Sunday he was present in the

which appeared in the columns of o contemporary, re-

Mr. Stanfield, M.P., addressed his oonstituents
again lest night, and made a speech on the subject of the
national expenditure. Ilia remarks, of course, had re-
ference chiefly to the navy department. He showed that
the expenditure in that department had been considerably
increased by the present government, and contended that
the expenditure bad not been justified by the Mermaid
efficiency of the navy. Mr. Akroyd was also present at
the meeting, and delivered an address.

It is expected that the review Reason at Alder-

t lips DAY.) eitl
' EISING IN SPAIN.
The latest news from Spain is that the Spanish
towns are pronouncing in 'amour of the insurreo•
lion, and that the ro; al troops have in some in-
stances joined the insurgents. The important
town of Seville has pronounced in tias sense, and
it is believed that tharthagena and Ferrol had dorm
the same. Generals Prim and Ikeda were marching
on Madrid, where martial law had been proclaimed
by General Conchs, the new preiddent of the
council. Don Manuel Concha, Marquis de Duero,
was in command of the central army, Count de
Chaste of the forces in Cetalonis, Aragon, and
Valencia, and the Marquis de Novaliches of those
in Andalssia. Amongst the vessels which pro-
nounced against the Queen are the City of Madrid,
which conveyed the Duke and Duchess of Mont-

pensier oast of Spain, and the Sarragoaa. Queen
Isabella was still in St. Sebastian at 3 o'clock yes-
terday. The insurrection must have been wholly
unexpected by her from the following circum-
stances which we derive from the Gironde :
Count Espeleta, the governor of the Prince of the Astu-
rias, was despatched by the Queen from St. Sebastian to
Biarritz with a letter for the Emperor Napoleon. In this
autograph letter Isabella 11. thanked the Emperor for the
gracious reception which be had givem to the Prince and
nine's/1 of Girgersti, and she added that she would be
hairy to express them rive wow. The messenger left St.
Felantian on Tuesday, September 15, and returned on
limn-day, the 17th, with the Emperor's answer. The
Tel mot stated in his reply that the young e ruple were
a nrthy of the reception he hail given them ; that it scarcely
deices( d the thanks which the Qneen had sent; less
was it nt re,i cry that she put herself to the least personal
inconvenience to come and thank him verbally; hit that
whenever the member, of the royal family of Spain chow
to rind Fronen they would be always welcome. It was in
the midst of this interchange of courtesies that the news
arrittd of tli rouunciamente in Cadiz. the landing of
the exited generals in Andalusia, the departure of Goners!
Prim from London, and the artual preeence of General
Pietist] in the country. The Emperor was soon informed
of what recurred, for on the 19th, the day on which
Genzales bravo retired, General Cestelnuu, the Emperor's
aide-de-camp. i aid a visit to the Queen.

in Cadiz. lie bad on board hie vowel at the time
the generals who were banished to the Canary Wes. and
General Prim, who had arrived from London. Two
frigates took 'dui in the demonstration, which was ac-
cepted immediately by the city. Serrano remained with
the chief command in Cadiz, but Prim left with as many
troops an he could collect.

on those who wish to be united ; the latter in future will
only have to pay some trifling fees. The intervention of

precisely
programme, did not take place as was arranged.
A note in the Moniker this monting seta all
doubts on that point at rest, and states distinotly
that " recent eventualities in Spain were an
obstacle to the interview." As I intimated
in a former letter, troubles are gathering
thick and fast around the Spanish Sove-
reign and government. I say the " Sove-
reign," because it is well understood that the
revolutionary movement is directed not only
against the ministry but the dynasty. The fusion
of parties in this revolutionary enterprise is
necessarily at this early date complicated and
uncertain ; but three important feria have come
out very distinctly—namely, the pronunciamento
of Cadiz, Madrid declared in a state of siege, and
the arpointment of Marshal Concha to the
presidency of the council of ministers.

- Cadiz, the seat of the insurrection, is reported
very confidently to be completely in the power of
the Progressiste. To add to these enormously
daft spots hanging over the political horizon of
Fpain, I bear of a private telegram having been
ryZeived during the morning by a large mercantile
Elm stating that the Spanish fleet is in a state of
revolt. Thus the earlier intimations of this
setious outbreak, which I ventured to lay before
Sour readers—with a proper degree of heslation
in the face of so much false news flying about
have been ectifirmed, and tilt progress of the in-
rnutrisiicn now fixea the attention of all Europe.

withdrew from the projected interview f

It is much too early yet to mos:Witte upon the
manner in which France may lie effected
by the result of the rebellion and during
the struggle, hut there can be no doubt
that its efFects have been already sensibly
felt me the &perm., the agitation and depre.rnion of
the nmimy market being directly referable to thorn.•
causes.

To add to these flollreei of uneasiness, a .1-spatch
reaches Paris from Belgrade stating that the Turks
are preparing to eriiss tlie Danube and enter lt4u-
mania. on the pretent e of reifying the Bulga-
rians. This intelligence, however, it seems to m•
must he received with great oration. It is quite
tine that the Bulgarians have tiennintlisl their
indei•end.wce, under the proteetion of Turk••v.
But it must be borne in mind that before vuell
step can be taken by the Ottoman forces the per-
mission of the protecting poweN must be obtain( .1,
and we have at this moment no authoritative in-
formation that such permission has been even
applied for. Still. this news is of a disquieting
nature, and adds to the gloomy aspect of the poli-
tical situation.

General Prim is known to have entered Sp3in,
although his whereabouts is at present a seeret.
The Lead of his staff is General Milulus del Bose 1,
and his aide-do-camp. Colonel C 311104. Ile is
also accompanied by M. Bieerra and M. Mateo
Sagusta, ex-deputy. Colonels Baldrich and La-
Frunero have assumed the command of bands, the
first in Catalonia, the second in Andalusia.
The news from Spain has a naturally unfavour-
able influence on the Bourse. The Rente, the
Italians, and almost all other securities, including
the Poncier, gave way, and Spanish Bonds have
gene back considerably.
