'Oa the 4th instant, at six in the evening, Field-
Marshal Doll C. Espinosa, with a column of 600
infantry, and 350 cavalry, entered Madrid. On
their arrival, those brave men were greeted by en
immense concourse of people, and the houses in the
streets through which they passed were illuminated
as if by enchantment. Cries of the " Constitution
and Liberty" were enthusiastically repeated by the
troops and the people; and in the countenances of
all was plainly expressd the desire of proving their
patriotism, nut merely by empty dpmonstrations,
' but by deeds, which may prove to foreigners that
we are the same Spaniarde as we were in 1808.—
'the enthusiasm is so general, that .oven children
despise all sorts of toys, except swords or guns. •
Letters from Bayonne of the 716 inst. state, that
the King of France's speech was no sooner known
at St. Sebastian, Tolosa, .Bilboa, Vittoria, Logrono,
and Pampeluaa, than the indignation of the citizens
was at its height. " The constitution or death."—
" To arms to repulse the enemy," was the general
cry. Torrijos having manifested his intention to
organize the national guard in Pampeluna, hereto..
foie a focus of conspiracy, above 400 citizens came
to ask for ,arms. The same General having resolved
to,open a road across the almost iniccesaible moun-
tains of Navarre, fur the purpose of sending artil-
lery to Irati, ,above .800 inhabitants volunteered
their labour. Great hopes existed of the speedy
dispersion of the remnant of the Army of the Faith,
as in the ealfies which sheltered them, the inhabit-
ants had themselves taken arms fur their expu:s on.
