SPAIN.

Advices from Madrid of the 6th state that on
the previous evening "a column of operation"
left Madrid, composed of three brigades of infantry,
one of cavalry, two batteries of artillery, and a
company of engineers, of which the Minister of
War was to take the command on that day.
General Freron had assembled the disposable
troops from Logrono, Burgos, Vittoria, and Pam-
peluna, and was expected at adrid.
The Captains-General of Granada and Andalu-
sia announced that they had assembled their troops
to march against the rebels, and that the utmost
tranquillity prevailed throughout the districts
under their command.
The Three per Cents. arc at 35.50.
Later advices from Madrid, of the Bth, state
that the Rebels were marching upon Ciudad Real.
The. regular troops were on the point of reaching
them, and they are said to be completely demora-
lised.
Madrid remained perfectly tranquil.

The .Heraldo says :—" the Queen, yielding to
the generous impulse of heart, and to the suppli-i
cations of Mme. Garrigo, for the pardon of her
husband, has granted him a pardon." ,
The same journal publishes a letter addressed by
Mine. Garrigo to her Majesty, expressing profound
and eternal gratitude for her goodness. , The_
Debats says :
" General O'Donnell recently addressed two letters
to Queen Isabella : they ' were written in language
full of propriety and respect, and contained protesta-
tions of his devotedness arid fidelity to the Queen.,
What ho had done, he said, was not caused by
any sentiment of hostility, but, on the contrary, by
the sincere desire to protect the Queen and her dynasty
from the imprudence of those who, under pretext of
serving a cause dear to ail Spanish hearts, compromise
it by their temerity and violence. The general called to
mind his old' services; he compared them with those of
the persons who have placed themselves between the
Queen and her most experienced servants ; and be called
on Ministers for `an account of the 'use they have made
of the confidence of the Crown. He tccused them of
having shamefully abused that confidence, and of thereby
having excited new disturbances in Spain, which only
desires to piosper under the legitimate sceptre of her
sovereign, and under the regular and legal protection
of constitutional government. The letters of General
O'Donnel at first proddced some impression on the
mind of the Queen, and a good deal of agitation in her
court. There was a talk of conciliation and of a com-
promise, and schemes for negotiations were proposed
and supported by personages who occupy at court itn-
portantand confidential charges ; it was even remarked
that the Queen herself did not absolutely reject these
dispositions to indulgence. The intervention of the
-President of the Council of Ministers caused them, how-
ever, to be set aside. Count do San Lnis represented
that the authority of the Queen would be ruined if nego-
tiations with the insurgents were to be entered into,;
that there was only ono good line of conduct to follow,
which was, that the insurrection should not be feared,
but be boldly met, and that the only question for the
moment was to combat and vanquish it. These councils
prevailed, and it was determined to redouble energy and
activity. It is unnecessary to add that the letters of
General O'Donnell remained unanswered."
