THE CREW OF THE TIGER.

It is but common justice, says a letter from
Vienna, to call public attention to the humane and
generous conduct of the Russian Government, or,
in more distinct words, of the Emperor, to the
officers and crew of the unfortunate Tiger. The
first lieutenant of that vessel has arrived at St.
Petersburg on his way home, and it is understood
that the whole of the remaining officers and men,
who have been sent to Moscow and other places,
will also be liberated on exchange. The lieutenant
had the honour of being admitted to interviews
with the Emperor, the Grand Duke Constantine,
and the Minister of Marine, and had every reason
to speak in terms of thankfulness of the treatment
accorded to himself and to his companions iu mis-
fortune. The Emperor's conduct to our brave
countrymen is, it must be repeated, fully worthy
of unfeigned gratitude and of his exalted position.
Re has shown an example that will doubtless be
cordially imitated by our Government, and all
under their orders, whenever the hazards of war
throw Russian prisoners into our hands.

According to a letter from Janina, dated June
20, Fuad Effendi left Metzovo on the 15th, in-
tending to enter Thessaly. He arrived on the
18th within a league of Kalabaka, with the corps
of Osman Pasha, composed of 2,000 regulars and
1,000 Arnauts. He effected his march without
striking a blow. As the Ottoman troops ad-
vanced, the Greeks fell back upon their centre.
These details are completed by accounts which we
have received from Larissa.

the Hellenic volunteers commanded by Hadji-
Petros. After a conflict of three hours the

took flight, some towards Agrapha, and the rest in
the direction of Olympus.

Corfu station the corvette Modeste, of 18 guns.

INSURRECTION IN SPAIN.
CRITICAL POSITION OF THE QUEEN

AND HER GOVERNMENT.

The Moniteur of to-day announces that, accord-
ing to a telegraphic despatch from Madrid, dated
six p.m., of the 3d, the city was tranquil ; that
reinforcements were expected from the provinces ;
that the insurgents were close to Aranjuez ; and
that the intelligence from the other parts of Spain
was satisfactory.

Intelligence from Madrid to the 30th ult. states
that the town was much agitated.
The insurgents, to the number of 4,000 men, were
at the Campo del Moro, at about a gunshot from
the Palace.

General Campuzano, Director of the Artillery,
had refused to attack them, although protesting his
fidelity to the Queen.

General Lara had also refused, on the pretext
that he could not rely on the garrison.
General O'Donnell was said to have summoned
the Queen to change her Ministry. Unless she did
so he threatened to attack the town on the same
evening.
Subsequent advices to the 2d inst. state that
Madrid is covered with barricades. The populace
cried out " Death to Sartorius."

It was said that a part of the garrison had
fraternised with the insurgents.
The abdication of the Queen was under discus-
sion, and the formation of a Regency, of which
Narvaez should be a member.

On the other hand, the Patrie declares that the
news received by telegraph from Spain continues to
be favourable to the Government, and that the
insurgents, after having been defeated, have
marched upon Toledo.

The Gazette, of the 30th, contains the following
decree :

" MINISTRY OF WAR-ROYAL DECREE.

"The desertion committed in February last by Lieut.-
General Don Leopoldo O'Donnell. Count de Lucena,
caused my royal decision of the 14th of the same month,
by which he walk struck out of the list of Generals of the
Spanish army. The indications of his crime of conspi-
racy against the State, which were then very strong,
are now a fait accompli, and General O'Donnell by
yesterday placing himself in open rebellion, proved
his disloyalty and him perfidy. It is painful to my
heart to see repeated these sad examples, and also
the chastisement of generals, whom I raised to the
bead of the army to guide it in the path of honour,
and not in that of military seditions ; but the re-
petition of such acts and the infamy they produce must
find justice more inexorable. I therefore order that
Don Leopoldo O'Donnell, Count de Lucena, shall be
deprived of all his employments, honours, titles, and

decorations, without prejudice to hie being tried in con-
formity with the laws, if necessary. Given at the
Palace, the 29th June.

"THE QUEEN.
"Arranuto BLASER, Minister of War."
The Gazette also contains decrees of the same date
which deprive Generals Felix Maria de Messina
and Ros de O]aio of their grades, honours, and
decorations. Other decrees promote two officers,
one of the civil guard, the other of the regiment of
Estramadura, fur having resisted the rebels.
