INSURRECTION IN SPAIN.

The Moniteur of this morning contains a despatch
from Bayonne of the 3d, which states that on the 29th
the Queen of Spain appeared on the Prado, and was well
received by the troops and the populace.
Generals O'Donnell, Ttos de Olano, and Messina have
been deprived of their rank, titles, and honours.
A despatch from the Spanish Government, of the 2d,
states that on the Ist, at four in the aiternoon, the
Queen's troops attacked the insurgents and gained a
signal advantage over them ; that the latter were routed,
and that many officers and privates had demanded leave
to return to their duty.
Madrid was tranquil.

According to intelligence from Madrid of the 2d, at
6 p.m. the city was tranquil, and no bad news had been
received from the provinces- The insurgents, instead of
throwing themselves on Alcala, were marching on
Toledo.
On the Madrid Bourse of the 28th the Three per
Cents, were at 37.40.
The Madrid journals of the 29th ult. contains details
of the military insurrection, of which some account has
already been given from telegraphic despatches. These
details are summed up in the following letter :

" Yesterday morning General Dulce, the officer who,
in 1841, distinguished himself in the palace of the Queen
at the head of the Haliebardiers by his noble resistance
to the insurgent troops, gave orders to all the cavalry
of Madrid to mount their horses. This he was enabled
to do, in virtue of his office as director and inspector of
cavalry. When the regiments had turned out he cried,
Long Live the Queen ! Death to the ministers !'
Generals O'Donnell, Ross de Olano, and Merino joined
him, as did also Colonel Ehagne at the bead of his regi-
ment. The rebels then left in the direction of Alcala
and Guadalajara, with, no doubt, the hope of causing
the troops stationed there to join them. The generals
issued a proclamation to the troops in which, whilst
expressing their devotedness to the Queen, they de-
clare that it is their intention to re-establish the con-
stitution of 1835. They then drew up and
signed a document by which they bind themselves
to do what their proclamation announces. The
council of ministers, on hearing of the insurrection,
immediately assembled at the Ministry of War, and
has since been setting permanently. The telegraph
is sending despatches in all directions. Important forces
have been sent to cut off the retreat of the rebels. The
Queen, who was at the Escurial when informed of the
rising, resolved to return to the capital ; and the Council
of Ministers having approved of this, her Majesty set
out. She arrived at Madrid at ten o clock in the even-

ing, and the bells of all the churches were rung to an-
nounce her return to the population. Instead of en-
tering by the Barrier of San Vincento, the royal cortege
arrived at the Barrier of Atocha, which was the longest
route, and passed through all the town. The Queen
was escorted by all the garrison of the capital, including
the cavalry regiment of Villa Vicente, which had arrived
from A ranjuez just as the Queen entered the city gates.
The population greeted her Majesty with enthusiasm.
and the Queen seemed much moved by her reception,
It appears that at the date of the last news, the rebels
were between Torrejan de Ardos and Alcala. At this
moment a strong column, consisting of 400 cavalry, a
battery of artillery, and. four battalions of infantry, are
leaving Madrid to pursue the rebels."

PROCLAMATIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT.
The Madrid Gazette publishes the following docu-
ments :

" MINISTRY OF WAR-ROYAL ORDINANCE.

" The unexampled disloyalty of General Don Domingo
Dulce, who, ungratefully abusing, not only his autho-
rity, but the confidence which I deigned to accord him,
has led into insurrection part of the forces of which the
direction was confided to him, must be treated with all
the rigour of the laws. In consequence, I decide that
General Dulce shall instantly be deprived of all places,
honours, and decorations, and he struck out of the list
of officers of his class ; and this without prejudice to the
trial to which he may if necessary be brought.—Given
at the Palace, the 28th June.
"THE QUEEN.
" ANSELMO BLASER, Minister of War,"
" ROYAL ORDINANCE.

"Excellency—On the 22d February last, in adopting
exceptional measures in consequence of the events at
Saragossa, the Queen's government proclaimed that it
was resolved to support order and the laws at every
cost. It now repeats the same declaration in presence
of a new military revolt ; and in order to crush that re-
volt by preventing any one from seconding or assisting
those who have commenced it, or may persist in it,
the Queen has adopted, with the advice of the Coun-
cil of Ministers, what follows :-1. All the Penin-
sula and adjacent islands being declared in a state
of siege, the military authorities shall resume the
universal command, and in consequence shall have
priority over all the other chiefs of the different
departments of the State. 2. Permanent courts-
martial shall be established in the provinces in which
they do not at present exist. These tribunals shall try
all sorts of persons who may attempt on whateverground
it may be, to disturb public order, or who may speak ill
of the constituted authorities, or of the government, or
of the sacred person of the Queen (whom may God pre-
serve !) By royal command, I communicate this to you
in order that it may be executed. God preserve you for
many years.

The Gazette further publishes the following, addressed
by the military authorities of Madrid to the people of
the capital :

" PROCLAMATION.

"Don Domingo Dulce, the director-general of cavalry,
setting at work the projects of conspiracy, by which for
some time past public tranquility has been secretly un-
dermined, and calling out, under the pretext of mancen-
vres, three regiments of the branch of the forces of which
he had the direction, left the capital at an early hour
this morning, accompanied also by a battalion of infan-
try formed of different detachments. The Government,

SECOND PROCLAMATION.

,s At the present moment, and however afflicting it
may beto present in all its nudity to the country so
black an act of ingratitude and disloyalty, the govern-
ment does not hesitate to appeal with a noble confidence
to the plain common sense and honour of the popula-
tion of Madrid. Let every one, as a man of honour,
lay his hand on his heart and he will feel the horror
which is caused by the conduct of an authority which,
alien invested with the confidence placed in it, and
abusing the influence of its position, has perfidiously
undermined and perverted the mind of its subordi-
nates, for the purpose of inducing it to commit
a most desperate attack on the most sacred laws.
The Spanish people have sufficient experience in re-
volutions to be aware that a movement commenced
by such men and such means can only prove injurious
to the progress of improvement in the country, and to
the consolidation of its liberty and happiness. The
Government, reckoning on the fidelity of the troops and
the loyalty of the population, feels certain that the pre-
sent movement will not only succeed, but will be soon
put down, without the people of Madrid having anything
else to do than to congratulate themselves on the judi-
cious conduct employed. But if, unfortunately, any one
should attempt to interfere with public tranquillity, let
him be certain that the Government will prove inexor-
able in punishing all persons concerned in such an at-
tempt.
" Madrid, June 28. " JUAN DE LABA."
Then comes the following decree by the Captain-Gene-
ral of the province :

" Art 1. The military district under my orders is de-
clared in a state of siege. 2. A permanent court-mar-
tial is established to try all persons who may directly or
indirectly attempt to disturb public order. 3. All as-
semblies in the streets and public places of more than
three persons will be dispersed by force after the usual
summons. 4. No person is to be allowed to carry arms
and all arms to be delivered up within a delay of 24
hours. Every infraction of these orders shall be brought
under the operation of Art. 2. 5. Persons spreading
alarming news, or delivering or carrying papers of a
subversive character, whether in print or manuscript,
are equally to be subjected to Art. 2.
Madrid, June 23. "JUAN DE LARA.."

PROCLAMATION OF THE INSURGENTS.
The following proclamation has been distributed by
the insurgents
" Citizens—A. corrupt and corrupting Government,
which has outraged the majesty of the laws and hu-
miliated the honour of the country, is on the point of
sinking under the weight of the national execration.
" The honourable men of all parties condem it ; the
public, indignant at its iniquities, reserves for it an
exemplary punishment.
"The days of its shameful domination do not suffice
to count by them the reckoning of its crimes. It has
broken through the constitution of the State, trampled
on all the rights of citizens, been wanting to all the
sentiments of decorum, scorned the national represen-
tation, closed the tribune, enchained the press, sacked
the treasury, corrupted consciences, and sowed profound
perturbation in the country.
"The generals who have given to the Queen a throne,
in order to reign constitutionally—the men experienced
in political struggles, and the independent writers, are
persecuted, dismissed, or proscribed. A swarm of ad-
venturers has proposed to itself to convert Spain intolits
patrimony, and to destroy in a day the conquests of fifty
years of heroic actions and generous sacrifices. After
having torn from the people enormous contributions not
authorised by the Cortes, it has instituted a new impost,
which has spread misery and famine in the provinces.
Its conduct his no example nor excuse. The revolution
does not spring from the masses, nor go out from the
people—it proceeds from the governing power, which
has placed itself beyond the law.
" It is not another change of persons which is treated
of, nor a party revolution ; what is treated of is the fra-
ternal union of all Liberals, of all men of probity, who
seek to render the scandalous robbery which we have
hitherto witnessed impossible.
" Patriotism, union, and confidence ; with these three
elements the nation, liberty, and the throne will be
saved ; and you will banish for ever the sad legacy of
humiliation which otherwise you will leave to your
children.
" An act of energy alone can put an end to the reign
of arbitrariness and immorality. The country expects it
all from you, To arms, citizens Either now or
neverr

FRANCE.

It is asserted in Paris that the prospects of the new
Turkish loan are very favourable. M. Durand left yes.
terd ay for London.

Yesterday morning a soldier, named Masson, sen-
tenced to death for having killed his corporal, was shot
at Vincennes, in presence of detachments of all the corps
of the garrison.
The trade of Paris for the last week exhibited
little or no variation from the preceding one, busi-
ness altogether having been very dull, owing in a
great measure to the inclemency of the season. The
accounts from the manufacturing districts are not
either satisfactory, an almost complete stagnation
prevailing at Rouen, Mulhouse, Rheims, Amiens,
Roubaix, and Turcoing. The few days of fine
weather of the beginning of the week have re-
assured the most timid as to the result of the
approaching crop, which everywhere promises to be over-
abundant.

The Bourse rose to-day, notwithstanding the fall in
English Consols. The Toree per Cents, closed 73f. 40c.
for the end of the month ; the Four-and-a-Half per
Cents. at 98f. 40c. The New Loan was not quoted.

THE CAPE AND MAURITIUS.

The General Screw Steam Shipping Company's mail
packet Calcutta, Captain Goodhall, arrived yesterday
afternoon. She left Calcutta April the 15th, Madras
the 23d, Ceylon the 26th, Mauritius May Bth, Table-bay
the 26th, St. Helena June 3d, Ascension the 7th, and
and St. Vincent the 19th.

Lieutenant-General the Hon. Sir G. Cathcart,K.C.B.,
late Governor of the Cape, came by the Calcutta, and
having landed at Plymouth, proceeded at once by the
South Devon Railway to Exeter.

On the 19th of April, near Clarkenburg, a sharp fight
occurred between Kreilis Caffres and the Tambookies,
when the latter suffered a loss of 50 men. The Caffres.
who outnumbered their opponents, were severely pun-
ished. With this excention the Cape colony was per-
fectly tranquil. The elections were not finished.

Her Majesty's ships Hydra, Penguin, and Juno were
in Simon's Bay. The Juno was to leave on the 26th of
May, supposed for New South Wales. His Netherland
Majesty's steamer Soembing; Commander Febias, left
Simon's Bay on the 21st of May for Java. The steam-
ship Queen of the South left Table Bay, for Australia,
on the 23d of May, taking several passengers ; the
Silver Cloud on the 26th. The screw steamer City of
Hobart Town, from London April 2d, St. Vincent the
21st, and St. Jago the 24th, arrived at the Cape on the
24th of May, and was to sail for Hobart Town on the
27th. At St. Helena there was a condemned slaver,
prize to her Majesty's brig Linnet, a bark of 260 tons,
named Millando. A large Russian ship, with 70 men on
board, from China, with furs valued above a quarter of a
million sterling, had sailed from the island for St. Peters-
burg a few days before the Calcutta arrived. Her
master was a German, and had procured double sets of
papers to make for America, if necessary. The declara-
tion of war was not then known at Ascension. It was
reported that a Russian frigate had put into Porto Praya,
under English colours, about a month before (May 20) ;
her name and destination unknown. The barks Pene-

lope, Marquis of Chandos, and Wilhelmina,, and the
schooner Caroline, were at St. Vincent. The Lady
Jocelyn arrived on the 16th, and left for Australia.
On the 17th of June the Calcutta experienced heavy
weather in gales off Algoa Bay, and was compelled to
lay to. From the 16th to the 22d of May, from Table
Bay to Ascension, very light trades and frequent calms
prevailed ; from the 23d of June contrary winds from
the north-east were experienced. She has a full cargo
of saltpetre, indigo, raw silk, piece goods, &c. The
Calcutta brings in all 175 passengers, among whom are
Major Mercer, from Calcutta ; Colonel Millar, Colonel
Neill, Major Bower, and Captain Jacob, from Madras ;
Captains Henderson, Hall, and Corfield, from Ceylon ;
and Colonel Seymour, Colonel Penckeney, D. A. Com-

sheets of copper. She was to sail immediately with the
sloops for China, despatches having been received from
Admiral Sirling, in the East Indies, requesting their
co-operation to effect the capture of the Russian force in
those seas.

The sugar crop at the Mauritius was fast drawing to
a close. It will reach 100,000 tons, of which 77,000
have been shipped to the United .kingdom, 11,000 to
Australia, and 2,100 to the Cape. The last heavy winds
were favourable, and the coming crop is estimated A

ALL'S LOST.-INTOLERANCE FOR EVER I

-
MAYNOOTH GRANT.
( Front the Morning Herald.)
We do not profess to disguise either our disappoint'
merit or vexation at the result of Mr. Spooner's motion
last night. With a very few words, wu must dismiss
this most disheartening subject.

A large majority of the house, it is perfectly plaint
were ready to vote for the motion of Mr. Spooner. But
a large number of members had left the house the be;
lief that there would be a protracted debate. Ey one 0'
those dexterous pieces of management in which all Per
sons admit the Government " whips" to be pre-etni•
nently skilful, these gentlemen managed to obtain their
own supporters in the house, and, taking advantage 0,
the state of the Protestant benches, Ministers hurrie"
the division, and succeeded in defeating Mr. Spooner
proposal by a narrow majority of 16.
It is useless to deny that there must have been sad
mismanagement in all this. Mr. Spooner did all that
coarage and high principle could do. Mr. Newdegate
ably seconded his efforts. But why, let us ask, was no
one found to protract the debate, and prevent the Min':
sterial artifice from succeeding ? Mr. Butt, at the last
moment, gallantly came to the rescue, but was met by
the Speaker with the intimation that there was an un-
derstanding that no one was to speak after the glass wan
turned. Amid a storm of opposition from those eager
for a division, the hon. member succeeded in establish:
ing his right to be heard, and having carried his point
both with the Speaker and the house, very unwisely
we cannot help thinking—waived it in deference to t°o
feeling of the house. So it was, however, 141 i
Spooner's motion was negatived without debate, Or
this while there were members enough within a quartet
of a mile of the house to have carried it by a triumphal'
majority.
There is in all this, let us say, a lamentable proof of
want of concert. We will not stop to apportion blame'
The heaviest part of it must probably fall upon those
who would not sacrifice their dinner at their club ?
watching an important debate. But why were 10_,
arrangements made to secure a succession of speaker'
to prevent an abrupt division ?
The new " understanding" intimated by the Speaker'
and of which the great majority of members were per
fectly unaware—like all these new rules and under
standings— shackled the freedom of discussion in the
house. But account for it as we will, the fact is, that
great opportunity has been lost—and this in itself
plies that arrangements were neglected which, we trusty
will never again be similarly overlooked.
This solitary success of Ministers is gained, after all,
by a division carried by a surprise.
