MADRID, AtlGUnir 23.
During the last three days we have been to a amitosis!
state of commotion and alarm. The event. which have tree.
spired are of such importance, that reflecting people ►iew
them as the commenceomet of a civil war.
Oo the 20th instant, st nine in the evening, an assemblage
in front of the prime, in which are confitied 'leversl of the
Royal Body Guards, who dispersed the populace on their
offering Insults to the King about ► month ago, began singing
the popular obnoxious Troia la Pero. As their conduct
became more ►iolent, the officer commanding the post eater-
fered, upon which lie and his men were grossly assailed, and
the populace aefused to depart. Some blows were auw struck
by the soldiers, but not in a mintier to hurt any one much.
The nests of the affray soon reached the Club de la Fontana,
from whence 400 persons proceeded to reinforce their confe-
derates, and more doting outrages were committed. The Po-
litical Chief repaired to the spot ; he was told that the officer
of the guard sod his men had, unprovoked, commenced an
attack upon the ptople. He endeavoured to alley the fer-
ment by blaming the soldiers, laud almost flattering the
real betimes of the tumult.. General Morillo repaired, at
the bead of a military detachment, to the spot; he was
assailed with the most unseemly invectives, and dm most
desperate among the crowd eadeavuered to arrest lie pro-
gress. Seeing that It. authority was thus opposed and
despised, he determined to act with that energy and prompt-
Mode which circumstances imperiously demanded, and,
with bizarre is his band, forced kis way through the dense
and clamorous crowd, and compelled them to disperse.
Prom theses they proceeded is groups to the Club de
la Fastens, where the twist notorious orators billowed their
rage by perverted aarratives of the affair, and falsely de.
Glaring th■t Morillo, with his draws sabre, had grievously
wounded many citizens. Cries of "Death to Morillo! the
Lead of Morillor followed these hillasomatory speeches.
Oa the following day (the 21W) crowds assembled is
the streets early in the inornies, and the populace opposite
the Club amounted to above 10,000. Cries fur the heads of
Morillo and the Ministin were re-echoed in every quarter.—
The Political Chief issued a notification that the Moister of
War had acceptid the resignation of General Morillo, whose
foectioos would be executed, par fitted., by General Monte.
mayor. This had the effect of calming the viulent spirit
which had bees manifested by the populace.
The Minister of the Ultra-Marine possessions set off ex-
press to the King at St. lldefunsa, to inform his Ilojesty of
what had transpired.
On the 22d, tench agitation prevailed. The trial of Mo-
rillo was vehemently dentamied, and much impatience ma-
nifested fur the King's answer to the trommtinicatioe which
it was known bad been addressed to him by the Ministers.
General Morillo issued a Proclamation on the night of the
Slat, in which be denounces the malignant aspersious which
designing men had cast upon his repotatioo, by falsely re-
preseatiug that he had used his sabre against the assembled
people. After giving an account of his effort. to restore
order, be says, " My sworitoiritich I will never use bat
■gainst the enemies of my country, reaniaesi is the scabbard.
