AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, July 14.—The members of the Vienna
Conference have communicated the contents of the
Russian note last received by this Government to
their respective Cabinets, and at the same time de-
manded instructions. It is expected that the reply
of all the Governments will have reached this city
within eight-and-forty hours ; at all events the
Conference is to meet on the 17th to decide on
the steps to be next taken in respect to Russia. It
was foreseen here that the retraction of the order
to occupy Wallachia would produce a most unfa-
vourable impression on the west of Europe, but
the delay was unavoidable, as you have learned
by my more recent letters.

SPAIN.
THE INSURRECTION.

The following telegraphic despatches from Spain
were received in Paris this morning, from which it
appears that the insurrection is not diminishing,
but is actually spreading :
" PERPIGNAN, July 15.—The garrison and town
of Barcelona have pronounced against the Govern-
ment.

" The troops of Navarro and of Guadalaxara
have taken the initiative, and been supported by
the loud acclamations of the people. The military
governor has headed the movement, which has ob-
tained the adhesion of the Captain General. The
troops and populace rent the air with cries of 'Long
live the Constitution !"Down with the Ministers !'
and DoWn with Queen Christina !' "
" BARCELONA, July 16.—The disaffected have
profited by the general disorder in which this town
is placed, and have set fire to a great number of
the shops. They even assassinated one of the pro-
prietors, as also his son ; as likewise a master's
mate. Yesterday three or four other persons were
murdered. Military precautions are now being
taken, in order, if possible, to prevent further dis-
turbances."
" ST. SEBASTIAN, July 17.—Two battalions of
the regiment of Bourbon, in garrison at this place,
have pronounced, and have issued a very sensible
proclamation. O'Donnel, the Commandant Ge-
neral, and Gupuscoa, the colonel of the regiment,
and the principal official functionaries of the town
have-been arrested. A corps of artillery has aided
the insurrectionary movement. The general popu-
lation, however, have not rendered any assistance
to the rebels ; and the town remains tranquil."
The following letter from Madrid is given by the
Mon,iteur

" MADRID, July 11.—According to news published by
the Gazette and the Madrid journals, the regular troops
of the insurgents, after having concentrated themselves
at Manzanares, having taken the Andalusian road, and
must to-day have entered the Sierra Morena by Despena-
Perros."

We find in the Bulletin the following proclama-
tion of General O'Donnell, which was published on
the 7th at Manzanares, a small town of La Mancha,
near Ciudad-Real :

" Spaniards ! the enthusiastic reception which the
liberal army obtains from all the populations ; the reso-
lution of the soldiers who compose it, and who acted
heroically at Vicalvaro ; and the applause which has
everywhere greeted the news of our rising, assure from
this moment the triumph of that liberty and the laws
which we have sworn to defend. In a few days the
greater part of our provinces will have shaken off the
yoke of the tyrants ; the entire army will have ranged
itself under our flag, which is that of loyalty ; the nation
will enjoy the benefits of the constitutional regime, for
which we have uselessly shed up to this day so
much blood, and have supported so many costly
sacrifices. The moment has come for declaring
what we have resolved to do on the day of victory.
We desire the preservation of the throne, but with-
out- a camarilla which dishonours it ; we desire the
rigorous execution of the fundamental laws, and an
amelioration of the law on elections, and of that on the
press ; we desire the diminution of taxes founded on
strict economy ; we desire that in civil and military
employments the rights of seniority and those of merit
shall be respected ; we desire to wrest the communes
from the centralisation which devours them, and to give
them the local independence necessary for the increase
of their prosperity ; finally, as the guarantee of all these
advantages, we desire to establish the national militia
on solid bases. Such are our intentions. We state
them frankly, without des ring to impose them on the
nation. The Government juntas which will have to
constitute themselves in the free provinces, the general
Cortes, which will have to assemble without delay, the
nation itself, in short, will establish the definitive bases
of the liberal regeneration to which we aspire. It is
with these sentiments that we consecrate our swords to
the national will, and we swear not to replace them in
the sheath until our object shall be attained.
" LEOPOLDO O'DONNELL, Count de LUCANA,
General-in-Chief of the Constitutional Army."
