THE NATIONAL REGISTER

hailed with loud acclamations. Towards the even-
ing the populace surrounded the Hall of the Cortes,
where the Peimanent Deputation informed them
that they bad despatched a messenger to the King,
to lama), his Majesty of the state of the capital.
From thence the people thronged to the Municipa-
lity sev-sral of the members of which endeavoured
to appease them: they insisted that an express should
be sent off to the King, desiring him to return to
his capital. This the Municipality promised, and
the crowd dispersed.
Yeste:day there was the same ferment, his Ma-
jesty's answers were demanded, and the authorities
were forced to announce that none had been received.
The Ministers have all sent in their resignations.
The troops have been three days under arms. All
rational men shudder when they see that three or
fin'. IN retches, who take the lead at the Club Fon-
tans, can thus disturb public quiet, and drag us to
the pre,ipice. The Political Chief, Gen. Coussans,
who thought to maintain his place and popularity by
his coward flattery of the populace, is now deptived
of the King's confidence, and despised even by those
on whom he lavished his base servility. He has de-
clared himself ill, and tendered his resi,-;ttation.
Reflecting minds see in this a well-combined plan to
involve us in all the hot rors of a cis '1 tear; the first
thing in furtherance of which was to remove Gen.
Murillo, whose courage and fidelity they justly
feared: this siew was effected, thanks to the in-
trigues and gold of the American Spaniards. Now
it is wanted to three the King to ram a to his eapi-
ti'l, in order to load him with insults, as was the
case in November last. God knows where men will
.ton who have a taste fbr revolutions.
TEN O'CLOCK, P.M.—A courier has just arrived
from Saragossa. There is no doubt that Riego as-
pired to the Dictatorship: some agents who were in
the secret divulged the plan. There was a general
my of execration against the conspirator when his
►iews were known. He has been conducted to the
fortress of Lerida, under a strong escort. It is im-
posrible to describe our situation. We are on a vol-
cano.

It it affitmed that a plot to assassinate the King
has been discovered, and that severel high personages
are implicated.
BAYONNE, SEPT. 10.— (P; ;vale Correspondence.)

been constantly under r•.ns. Slril we be able to

hope, especiaily i4"it be floc, as onumred, that G:m.

that he would resume the command of the staled
force."

AN nen the Minister for the colonies presented him-
