LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1924.

The Paris Papers of Sunday and tba Mak of Monday
reached us late last night; their leading contents will be
found below. The Munitrar asserts that Madrid was
tranquil, though the Monk Sacs had returned from Toledo
to that capital. The death of the Minister Irujo is not
mentioned in these papers ; the statement of his decease,
aml the appointment of Ilereilia in his place were there-
fore probably premature ; the Mohiteur denies that any
tumult took place, as stated sonic time since, at Aleo-
venda. But what reliance can be placed on the French I
Papers? Though these Journals wish to make it appear
that Spain is tranquil, it is clear, from an ordinance given
in substance in the Dude, and issued by the Spanish Mi-
nister of War on the 1:101, that the country in general
must be greatly disturbed. This document states, " that
" the King ;.: informed that in several parts of the king-
" dom men still show themselves, who, obstinate in their
" principles, and act r•n touted to live in discord, think to
" disturb. They break out (it asserts) into inv,vtives
" against the sacred rights of the throne and praises of the
" abolished Constitution. They spread alarming reports,
" and carry their audacity so far as to infest the public
" roads with arms in their hands." This does not smack
much of the tranquillity trumpeted by the Alonifeue. To
put down these dangerous discontent. a Military Commis-
sion is instituted in all the provinces, to be formed in fifteen
days, for the trial of the Constitutionalista; against whom
all the capital penalties of Ferdinand's 11ecree of May,
1.414, arc to be enforced. The malcontents, however, arc
inn-Easing both in numbers and dsring. Accounts from
Valencia to the 11th January state, that a group of armed
Constitutionalists appeared on that night at the gates of
4 :trate of S. Narcissi), to carry off the guard, but failed.
The declaration of Mexiio against Spain appears in the
Restarrador.

Madrid is perfectly tranquil; several Prelain•bniii;eni•lited
in the capital hare lately left it. It is affirmed that D. Victor
`lae has returned from Toledo, and is actually here.
Nobody at Madrid believes that the departure of the Spanish
troops. especially the regiment of the Prince, was by the desire
of the Connuander-in-Chief of the Army of I Occupation. This
regiment d cavalry was one of the most distinguished forces in
Spain, and lived on gond terms with the allied troops. This MM.
sure was taken entirely with a view to the public good, and to re-
move henceforth every pretext fm malevolence.
The Liberals spread a report that there was a tumult at Alcoben.
das. This is a notorious falsehood.

is atirmed that the officers of the royal guanl will be selected
turn the troops commanded by lietierils 1;rol:s. Charles
Quatada, and others devcuril to the %Oil:, and that the re-
maiwler of these troops will be distributed among the other regi_
wuetsOf tbe anny.
