MADRID, OCT: 1 8 .—Yetiterddy, at -two in the
4teicnoon., five French soldiers in disguise, who were
reported to be-Marnelukes, Diet in a tavern near the
eitiarters of the .Walloon Gnartis', One of theXal-
loOn Guards appeared. to ktiovi;_thern,
.and they per-
ceiving this, three of them fled, ancl_concealed them-
selves, while the other two who remained' fell. into
the hands of the people, who immediately put. them
I to death in the most shocking manner imaginable.—
They dragged their bodies through the principal
s:reets, from 'the Walloon quarters as' fat' as the
Royal Palace, from whence they carried them in the
same manner, the one without the gate of St. Bar-
bara, and the other without the gate of Alcala,
where they burned them, of which horrible scene 1
was a witness. The populace then proceeded- to the
house of the Russian AMbassador, because it was-
said that the other three soldiers had taken refuge
there, and demanded them,. threatening to burn the
house if their demand was not complied with. The
Duke PeL INtANTAno, President of the Council,
learning that 'the populace were tumultuous and in-
furiated; sallied forth to appease them, accompanied
by the Governor of the -City, and Colonel DOYLE,
who prevailed on certain of the mutineers, accom-
panied by the Duke,. to search-the house, and not
leaving found any one in it, they retired. The re-,
giment of Ireland marched out under arms, to pre-'.
vent the burning of the house; but on their arrival
they found there was no'.iiecessity for their inter-
ference. In the street Hortaleia there were assem-
bled more than 8000 people, through whom the
Duke DET: INFANTADO and his companions 'passed,
and nothing was heard but errs of " Viva FER-
NANDO " Viva Inglaterra 1" " Viva los In-
gleses !" and thousands of handkerchiefs, bats, &c.
were waved in the air.
