SPAIN.

"One of our correspondents at Madrid who is
usually well informed," says the Messager of
Bayonne, " writes to us that three refugees sent
from Jersey and London organised the movement
of Madrid, with the aid of about three hundred
French workmen who were expelled after the 2d
December. It was these experienced professors of
barricades who taught the people of Madrid the
tactics of street fighting."
A telegraphic despatch from Bayonne says the
Gazette of Madrid contains a proclamation by the
Queen. Vier Majesty testifies therein her confi-

dance in Spaniards as wall as in Marshal Espartero.
She announces, moreover, the re-assembling of the
Cortes. The proclamation has been very well re-
ceived. The militia does duty at the Palace con-
jointly with the infantry of the line. Madrid is
tranquil. General San-Miguel displays much ac-
tivity in maintaining good order.
The militia had mounted guard at the palace in
conjunction with the troops of the line.
Letters received from different parts of Spain
announce that the country is tranquil.
A telegraphic despatch from Paris says, General
Espartero entered Madrid on the 28th.
It would appear that the conditions which Es-
partero attached to his acceptance of the Presi-
dency of the Council have been agreed to by the
Queen.

The Nation adverts to the subject in the follow-
ing terms :
" Major-General Don Allande Salazar arrived on
Tuesday, July 25, at this Court, with a special mission
from the Duke de la Victoria to her Majesty the Queen.
" On alighting he went to the palace, in order to
state to the Queen with the frankness and patriotism
which characterise him, the only programme of govern-
ment with which General Espartero compromises himself
to accept the high charge confided to him.
" Her Majesty replied that she would think on what
he had stated, and would inform him of her resolution.

Senor Salazar was summoned to the palace at 10
p.m., and there being present there the Senor San
Miguel, the Queen declared that she accepted, in all its
parts, the programme of the hero of Luchana. The
San Miguel and Salazar retired at once highly pleased,
the latter taking post at once to return to Saragossa.
" In sight of this we ought to consider the entry of
the Pacificator of Spain into Madrid as very near at
hand."
The only conditions imposed by Espartero, which
were verbal ones, it is said, were these : .

1. The convocation of constituent Cortes,
by universal suffrage.
2. The departure of Queen Christina from Spain.
It is expected that very important questions will
be brought before the constituent or sovereign
Cortes, and it is not certain that the subject of the
dynasty will be excluded from their deliberations.
The diplomatic body were summoned to the pa-
lace at half-past eight o'clock on the evening of the-
24th at an hour's notice. Our Charge d'Affaires,
Mr. Otway, was the first to arrive ; but, td the an-
noyance of every one, the members of the corps
were informed that a counter order had be'en given.
It was said that the Queen was indisposed. Some
thought they were summoned to hear her Majesty
announce her intention to abdicate. It was seriously
talked of to blow up the palace, by placing barrels
of gunpowder in the subterranean passages, of
which there are great numbers underneath and
about it, and if the hostile attitude of the palace be
kept up it may be attempted. The people have got
possession of the powder magazine at the CamP°
de Guardias. The announcement by the Junta
of the Queen's reply to Senor Salazar being satis-
factory, and that Espartero will soon be at the head
of affairs, may calm the excitement which has hi-
therto prevailed. The Junta conclude their address
to the people with " Vivas for Isabel 11., Consti-
tutional Queen."

The wounded in the military hospital,
in conse-
quence of the, late struggle, exceed 800. The
deaths probably amount to nearly half that Duni'
ber.
The 24th was Santa Christina, and in order to
show the popular hatred which exists toward!
Queen Christina, orders were sent by the authors'
ties of the barricades to all housekeePers not to
illuminate, as had been done every night for
last week. In the Calle del Principe a death
head was displayed over the barricades, with crape
around it, and an inscription above, " Santa Chris-
tina." The was no levee at the palace as usual on
this day.
Brigadier Narciso Ameller has been appointed.
commander-in-chief of the men at the barricades.
The Junta have closed all the Ministerial offices,
except that of War, which is held at the Palace of
Buena Vista. The latter edifice has been prepared
fur the reception of the Duke de la Victoria.

ITALY.
A despatch received by the French Government
on Saturday night states that Parma was tranquil
on the 25th. Several of the insurgents had been
keen killed andl7 wounded, in a skirmish which
occurred. on the 22d.
Two soldiers who had joined the movement had
been condemned and shot.
Numerous Austrian reinforcements had arrived.

EGYPT.
The Constitutionnel has the following on the
change that has taken place in Egypt :
"The sudden death of Abbas Pasha has called to the
Government of Egypt his uncle, Said Pacha, Ae•
cording to European ideas of succession to the throne,
it would have appeared that the Egyptian vice-
royalty should have belonged to the son of Abbas
Pacha, Hami Pacha, who has just left Alexandria
on a tour in Europe. Such, however, is not the order
of succession according to the patriarchal law as set down
in the Koran. The heir to the throne is always the eld-
est of the family. A curious example of this was seen at
the time of the death of Ibrahim Pacha. Mehemet Al!
left three sons, Ibrahim Pacha, Toussoum Pacha, and
Said Pacha. After Ibrahim Pacha, the viceroyalty fell
