and if the leaders of the Landabarian Club had been
allowed to have their owu way, the capital would
have been filled with consternation. in fact, on
the same evening, several ecclesiastics and others,
whom opinion points out as adversaries to the Con-
stitution, were publicly insulted in the streets.
The alarm continued through the whole of the 18th,
and in the night the same house received an express,
with the news dint the funds had risen at Paris on
the 13th, and that the reports which bad caused the
fall were beginning to he dispelled. On the other
hand, the Government received on the 19th, at two
a.st. an express from its Minister at Paris, with dis-
patches very satisfactory in respect to the reports of
war. On the 19th, in the morning, groups of people
assembled in the Puerta del Sol, anxious to know
the contents of the dispatches of the Disc de San
Lorenzo, and they soon learned that he had written
that the Congress had decided nothing with regard
to Spain. It is even affirmed, that the Minister
has said to his friends that if be had received any
unpleasant news he would immediately have pub•
lished it in the journals. Nevertheless people's
fears are not wholly dispelled, and they *wait with
impatience the result of the Congress. The mer-
clients' expresses which arrive are surrounded and
questioned by numbers of persons. It may be
said that at the first news of a declaration of war
we should see the Revolution make ravages at
Madrid and all the provincial capitals.
All the journals make refl,ctions on the inconve-
niences and obstacles which stand io the way of
a resolution of the Holy Alliance to declare war
against Spain.

formed by the Committee of Gibraltar, tending to
renew the insurrection in Ronda, Lucena, and even
Cents.
In the sitting of the Patriotic Society of Seville
