that you are Portuguese worthy of Alfonso the Fourth

victory! Arm yourself with every weapon that you can
find—with hatchets, knives, sticks, and stones—all will
serve to destroy the enemy. And if any miserable person
from amongst you shall dare to utter cries of terror or of
anarchy immolate him on the instant, and make a barricade
of his body.
Portuguese—We exhort you to moderation. Liberty

(Signed by different officers and soldiers of the National
Guard, united in club).

The rebels only await the safe delivery of the
QUEEN to attack the capital. SALDANIIA and
TERCEIRA will probably be joined by Prince FERDI-
NAND as soon as her MAJESTY has given birth to
an heir to the Throne ; and should the QUEEN suc-
ceed in accompanying her Consort, their united in-
fluence will turn the scale in favour of the insurgents.
We regard the Constitution as all but lost, and we
mainly attribute its loss to the treachery of the SO-
VEREIGN, and the intrigues of Prince FERDINAND.

The whole of the French Papers of Thursday have
been received. The Government had just been in-
formed by telegraph that an insurrection had broken
out at Pampeluna, in the first fury of which General
SAARSFIELD and Colonel MIDIORK were mur-
dered. Advices confirming the accounts before re-
ceived of the murder of the Governor of Vittoria had
likewise been communicated to the French authorities.
These are but the opening scenes of the bloody drama
which will be performed in the Peninsula, unless
France and England take instant measures for putting
an end to the civil war. The moral bonds that keep
society together cannot hold much longer; and once
they are broken there is an end to all hopes of the
speedy pacification of the Peninsula. Moreover, in
the event of such a catastrophe, intervention would not
be confined to the great Powers of Western Europe.
Austria, Prussia, and Russia would take an active
part in the crushing of a monster engendered by revo-
lutionary anarchy ; and, as the policy of these Powers
would be directly opposed to that of England, we
would be compelled to take the field in support of our
system. Thus Spain would a second time, in addition
to its other mi'eries, become the battle ground of
Europe. How easy would it be now to prevent such
a calamity !

We have advices from Madrid to the 26th ult. A
report prevailed that General MENDEZ VIGO had
been shot by his own men, but it was not generally
credited. Senor GONZALES had consented to be no-
minated a member of the new Cabinet. The officers
who headed the insurrection in the capital had set out
to join the army, after a secret assurance from the
QUEEN that they would be all restored to their respec-
tive ranks. Her MAJESTY promised to grant them
an amnesty as soon as the popular excitement was sub-
sided. Did we not predict this termination of the
farce of the arrest ? With respect to the overthrow of
the CALATRAVA Cabinet, and all the other misfor-
tunes that have recently happened in Spain, we find
the following striking observations in a letter from the
correspondent of the Chronicle, dated " Madrid,
August 23," which we copy from our Contemporary's
columns of this morning :
"It is now ascertained beyond a doubt that the in-
surrection at Pozeula de Aravaca and in other quarters
has been the consequence of a regular plan laid for some
time by the Moderaos and the officers of the army to put
down the late Ministry. To this cause the death of Esca-
lera is attributable. According to the arrangement of the
parties concerned in the conspiracy, I understand, from
authority which leaves no doubt of the truth of the state-
ment on my mind, that it was agreed that the first Carlist
expedition into Castile was to be permitted to pass with-
out opposition into that province, and that, on this oc-
curring, Espartero was to march under the pretext of
sav'ng the cipita!, and put down the Ministry there.
Faithful in performing his part of the plot, Escalera saw
the expedition pass the Ebro within musket-shot of him,
and would not permit Ida men to attack the invaders.
He has paid with his life the penalty of his treason. This
is the true cause of his death, and not the pretended scarcity
of provisions and non-payment of the troops, as was circu-
lated by the -lbdernos to throw odium nn the late Mi-
nistry. The same cause—treachery—has produced those
other instances of insubordination which I have stated in
former let tcrs, and will, it is to be feared, produce many
more. The conspirators, indeed, have attained their
ends ; but they have reduced the country to a state
which must bring ruin on themselves. They have left
the country without almost the shadow of a ruling body ;
certainly without the substance. And now that they
have conjured up the storm, they have neither the
means nor the courage to command it. Espartero, after
lending himself to this conspiracy, is amusing himself at
Torrelaguna, and enjoying the few luxuries which the Car-
lists have left untouched there. What his intentions are,
whether to return to Madrid and enter on the duties of his
office, or to continue with the army, no one can tell. Al-
ready he has disappointed his own supporters and fellow-
conspirators in not coming forward and putting them by
dozens into office. The Queen, too, to whom he is said to
have made splendid promises, now feels the deception
which has been practised en her. Siguenza is stated to be
the point which he intends next for his head-quarters."
Our readers will draw their own conclusions from this
statement, which we believe to be mainly, if not quite
verbally, correct. Certain we are that it is now two
years since SAARSFIELD, who has just been mur-
dered in Pampeluna, so conducted himself as to be
considered by the French and British authorities a
traitor to the cause of the Queen Donna Is BELLA.
Nor has a single officer yet fallen against whom
charges of treason have not repeatedly been preferred.
the following is a copy of the Address of the
Corks to the QUEEN respecting the dissolution of the
late Cabinet. No message could he conceived in a
more loyal and constitutional spirit :

" MaDamE—The deplorable event which has occurred
at Pozuelo de Arabaca has filled the Cortes with the
deepest sorrow. The public voice has proclaimed the at-
tempt made by tome dicers of the Royal Guard who have
been guilty cnough to pretend limiting the high constitu-
tional prerogAtive which your Majesty has of freely dis-
missing your Ministers. Such acts, Madame, violate
the fundamental laws of the State, subvert public
order, bring on the dissolution of a representative
Government, and the ruin of all social principles.
The division, stability, and attributes of the State,
however, established by the Constitution, cannot be
abandoned to the caprices of those to whom the nation has
confided arms for its defence, and whose duty it is to obey.
The right of Spaniards would perish if force usurped the
place of law, and anarchy would throw the country into a
fearful chaos. To prevent those dangers, preserve the ho-
nour of the army, which gloriously combats for the national
cause, save the prerogatives of the Crown, and strengthen
the respect due to the Constitution, the Cortes hasten to
tender to your Majesty their sincere and loyal co-operation
in the name of the magnanimous nation which they re-
present.
