IT said that General Borso, who inducelthem to revolt,-
has been hanged. No diligence or cornier errived here
yesterday from Madrid.
The subjoined despatch is from the Moniteur
of Sawrday. It is of the same date, from
Bayonne, as the last quoted, and was received
in Paris on Friday evening :
" The Sub-Prefect, to the Minister of the Interior—
No news from Madrid. Yesterday, at two o'clock,
the citadel of Pampeluna ceased firing ; it is reported
that the city has capitulated.
" They are arming at Sebastian, where it is believed
that General Meals will shut himself up." -
We have numerous and very interesting ac-
counts from Madrid, of the attack on the Palace
oa the night of the 7th instant. One of these
will be found in another part of The San.
Another states that the insurgents amounted-
in all to 1,000, led on by Generals DIEGO
LEON and ColsonA. The defence made by a
handful of Halberdiers was most heroic. The
fighting lasted from. eight o'clock in the even-
ing till nearly four o'clock in the morning,
and the battle rtneed successively in the ball of
the Ambassadors, the Queen's drawing-room,
nnd up the grand stair-case to the door of the
Queen's bed-room. The cries of the Royal
children as they fled from room to room, con-
ducted by Madame MINA, who covered them
with rnattrasses to de end them from the balls,
was heard in every part of the Palace. • The
walls of the room in whi&l the young Queen
was last sheltered were actually perforated with
balls. Eighteen veteran Halberdiers with a
gallant young Colonel at their head, repulsed
every attempt of the insurgents to break the
doors, strewing the stairs with their dead bodies.
The Minister GONZALES was in his office in the
interior of the Palace, when the re-
volt broke out, and by barricading his
doors escaped being shot by the rebels, who
several times endeavonred to force the doors. In
their fright the poor Royal children, believing
that they had not an hour to live, cried for a
confessor; and when on the following morning
the troops reviewed in front of the Palace
shouted " Viva el Reyna," the young QUEEN ad-
dressing an attendant said, " Without the Halber-
diers I should not now be alive." And yet this mur-
derous midnight attack upon the residence of a
child, the fright of which might have made her
a drivelling idiot for the remainder of her life,
was planned by her profligate mother with the
probable concurrence of the highest personage in
France. Madame Mutsoz, who preferred a base
connexion with a Life-Guardsman to the
guardianship of her own children, and the
purity of the Royal purple, receives visits
from the King of the FRENCH while
desecrating with carnage the very bedrooms of
her own children in the Royal Palace of
Madrid. Base, indeed, would be the Spanish
Government--inglorious the Spanish people,
could Spain either forget or forgive these out-
rages, heaped upon her through the connivance
of France.
The price of-bread for the remainder of the month is
fixed'at thirty-six centimes the kilogramme.
The Director of the _National, M. Thomas, who was
sentenced in July to a fine of 500 francs, and a month's
imprisonment for infraction of the laws of September,
by announcing a kind of subscription to defray the ex-
penses inflicted upon that Journal by the Chamber of
Peers, has just surrendered himself at the prison of
St. Pelagie to undergo his sentence.
The Barcelona journals to the 10th instant, which ar-
rived yesterday, state. that on the receipt of the news of
the events at Pampeluna on the morning of the Sth,
which came round by way of Perpignan, the Captain-
General, Van Helen, immediately assembled the troops
of the garrison, and having announced to them the pro-
ceedings of O'Donnell, exhorted them to fidelity to Es-
partcro. After the review, all the superior officers were
called to the presence of the General, and informed that
he would hold them personally responsible for the subor-
dination of their men. He subsequently published a
proclamation, in which, after expressing his indignation
against the Generals who had rebelled against the Go-
vernment, he orders that every soldier (as stated by the
telegraphic despatch), or other person under, his corn-
ma-nd or authority, who should in speech or writing
express his approbation of the rebellion of O'Donnell, or
attempt to favour revolt or disobedience to the Govern-
ment,
should be punished with death, conformably to
law, and that t very person attempting to prosecute prin-
ciples of revolt in the army should incur the same pun-
ishment. The Gonstitucionel of Barcelona attacks the
French Government with great violence, and accusesit of
ha ring fomented the insurrection of O'Donnell, and recom-
mends that the army should be placed on the frontiers to
prevent the entrance into Spain of what it calls the scum
of Spaniards, who are, it says, excited-to revolt on the
other side of the Pyrenees. The capital and fortresses
could, it adds, be garrisoned by the National Guard.
The Constitueionel complains also that General Pavia,
who was second in command at Valencia with O'Don-
mil, and also-embarked with the ex-Regent, should he
taking the waters at Callas, where he and the Carlist
ex-General Segarra may; it supposes, carry on some
intrigue against the Spanish Government. The Pho-
ceen packet, which left Barcelona on the 9th, arrived
at Marseilles, bringing no Spaniards as passengers, the
Spanish authorities having, says the Gazette the Midi of
the 12th, refused to grant passports to Spaniards to
emigrate. The persons who arrived in this vessel re-
port that great fermentation reigned in Barcelona, and
that fighting with sticks, as the precursor of more seri-
ous conflicts, was carried on in the streets. Other ad-
vices from Barcelona state that the political Governor of
the province, and the Ayuntamiento of the city, have
issued proclamations against the favourers of the
Movement.
We learn from Corfu that the harvest of Corinth
grapes has been very good this year, both in quality and
quantity. Cephalonia has produced negrly 12 millions
of pounds, and Zante about seven millions. A fall in
the price is therefore looked for. It was expected that
a very large quantity of excellent olive oil would be
made, as the trees were loaded with fruit in fine condition.
A letter from Rome states that the Jews of Ancona
gave the Pope, during his visit to that city, a Bible, with
clasps mounted in diamonds.

The Memorial of Dieppe states that a young woman
near that town was brought to bed a few days ago of four
children, who, with the mother, are doing well.
Criminal indictments against M Joubcrt and Baron
d'Este are said, by the Gazzlfe de Tribunaux, to be in
preparation. The Commerce says that Baron d'Este, who
was arrested at Lille for want of passports, was not de-
tained long, but soon allowed to continue his journey to
Paris., where he is believed to have arrived.
The Moniteur Parisien states that the Minister of the
Marine is preparing to establish Government steamers

P 3 packets between the Antilles and the continent of
South America, and that part of the Gulph of Mexico,
called Terra Firma. These steamers, which are to be
placed under the control of the commander of the naval
station of the Antilles, will, adds this journal, prove
highly advantageous to tne French colonies, by ren-
derirg the communication between them, and also with

the South American continent, much more frequent and
certain.

The Cour Royale decided yesterday that there were
no grounds for proceeding against the responsible editor
of the Temps, Gazette de France, Echo Francais, and
Estafette, for the article announcing the withdrawal of
the orders for taking the census ; and directed that the

. ,
copies seized should be restored.
M. Voillet de Saint Philibert, responsibl:e editor of
tbe Mode, underwent 2n interrogation yesterday by the
exnnining Magistrate, on the subject of the number of
the juurnal which has been seized.

A let:;:er from Pampeluna, of the 10th, says :
" has resolved to act with energy, and his
first step Ils-ts been to require the evacuation of the city.
General Ribeiro having disregarded this injunction, the
citadel began by throwing, at intervals, bombs and
grenades into the city, which, it is said, did but little
mischief. As lam going to close my letter, the firing
has ceased, but it is not exactly known for what reason.
It is said that the two Generals have had a confer-

;lice, which I doubt, knowing the firmness ofßibeco's

character."
The Phare says that, just as it was going to press, it
received the following news :
" The firing commenced at Pampeluna at six in the
morning of the 10th, and continued till six in the even-
ing ; at ten at night it recommenced, and continued till
six the mixt morning. After a suspension of two hours,
it was recommenced, and had not ceased at noon. The
women and-children had left the place.
"It is affirmed that the damage is considerable, espe-
cially to the buildings contiguous to the Place de Cas-
tello. which are reduced to a heap of.rnin3.
"Ortigoia entered the citadel on the 10th with two
companies.
" Gcnorai Ribiero, not being able to comply with the
deraknds of the Exaltados, has resigned the command,
mil:eh he has given up to Brigadier-General Bagona."—

There is no decisive news from Spain in the French
journals. From all that we can gather from them it is
not to be doubted that the main object of the present
revolutionary movement, as far as France is concerned,
is to place a son of Louis Philippe's on the throne
of Spain. The Journal des Debats, the organ
of the King, admits this in the following ex-
plicit terms:—" There ia in Spain a young Queen,
who, by marriage, may bring to the throne an-
other blood than that of Louis XIV. and Philip V.
IVitat is evidently the interest of France—and, we may
add, of Spain, for the alliance of such a country as ours
cannot be less precious for Spain than the alliance of
Spain can be for us? The evident interest of France is
to secure the perpetuity of a dynasty which is of French
origin, and to strengthen by a new alliance the old family
ties which unite the throne of Spain to that of France.
Some persons may say, if they please, that family ties
have no influence over politics: what is certain is that
the Powers which 'are the rival; of France would utter
shouts of joy if the blood of Louis XIV. were to cease to
flow in the veins of the Spanish monarchs. We are
ignorant of what the French Government may have done
to avert such a calamity; but we have no doubt that the
Government has done something. Yes, it would be a
treason to permit a foreign dynasty to establish itself on
the throne of Spain.",
The Presse, another Court paper, attacks Espartero
with the greatest 'virulence ; quotes the Standard to
prove that by the Tory Cabinet here he is regarded
as a "disloyal adventurer ;" and contends that it is the
duty and the interest of France to snatch Spain from
anarchy and the influence of England.
The Constitutionnel observes that it is the interest of
the French to prevent a marriage between Queen Isabella
and any foreign Prince not French ; but it does not see
how a marriage could be effected between the Quetietind
a French Prince without involving France in a war of
succession. According to the Constitutionnel ire project
of Espartero for effecting a marriage between the young
Queen and a son of I)on Francis de Paulo is entirely in
the interest of France, as it would at the same time set
aside the pretensions of foreign Courts, and prevent an
alliance with a son of llon Carlos. If such an alliance as
is here proposed be sufficiently French we cannot doubt
that England will at once agree to it. But 20,000 French
bayonets would not force the Spanish people, without
any intervention on our part, to allow a son of the King
of the French to espouse their Queen.
The National asks whether the French Government
will be mad enough to convulse Spain, and throw her
permanently into the arms of England, on a pretext of
pre venting a marriage between the Queen and seine
foreign Prince, when, says this journal, the idea of mar-
rying her to a foreigner has never been entertained by
the Regent. The National regards the idea of setting
up the Duke d'Aumale as a candidate against the Duke
of Cadiz as alike unjust and insensate.
The Courrier _Francais takes an exceedingly sensible
view of this question. The following observations can-
not be too deeply weighed by the _French Cabinet :
"Family compacts became the compacts of nations "at a
time when kings were everything in a State; but nor,
this is no longer the case, and that kings reign, bvt do not
govern, an alliance of dynasty does not imply a national al-
liance; and if Spain is no longer desirous of cultivating the
friendship of France, it is not by a French marriage that we
should create a different feeling. The husband of a Queen is
at all times a personage without-influence. Prince Al-
bert has not, that we know of, rendered England Ger-
man, nor has Prince Ferdinand relieved Portugal from
the yoke of England. Napoleon, who had on his side
the influence of genius, and at a time less distant than
our own, from that in which family compacts were the
order of the day, endeavoured to revive them. He gave
his brother Joseph to the Spaniards as their king, and
what remains of that unfortunate attempt except the re-
membrance of cruel disasters experienced by each nation ?
And is it imagined that what could not be effected by
the powerful arm of Napoleon, by the grand army under
Massena, Soult, and Suchet, and with the gold and blood
of France so profusely lavished in Spain, may be effected
by the Duke d'Aumale! What is called a French mar-
riage couli only be a pretext for using Spain to the pro-
fit of France and her own injury, or for exhausting the
resources of Franca in support of some Court intrigue.
We disapprove of either of these extremes. What we
desire is the alliance and not the conquest of Spain, and
this alliance to be durable must be voluntary."

EY:Jaz= OPINION.

The Morning Herald, speaking of the squabbles on
the Canadian frontier, anti the conduct of Captain Jones,
as respects the capture of Colonel 'Grogan says--" If our
Governinent have no further information than that now
before our readers—or no gTounds to assume that Cap-
tain Jones has it in his power sufficiently to justify either
his own orders, or the excess committed by the party he
employed in executing them ; we doubt not that they
will issue such immediate instructions to their own re-
presentatives in Canada, and address such instant com-
munications to the American Government as may at
least suspend any irrevocable operations proceeding on
the ground of an insult sustained by the one Govern-
ment, and vindicated by the other. We lOok for the
next arrivals with the most profound and inexpressible
anxiety. At present, never did a great and righteous
cause appear to be in more serious. jeopardy of being.!
compromised by an unlucky and unloOked,for accident,
than the issue of the M'Leod case seems-to be, from the
capture of Grogan." •

The Chronicle says All reflecting persons, from
the political economist down to the labourer, arc agreed as
to the evils of the Corn Monopoly. There is not a single
name of any weight opposed to a repeal of the Corn-laws.
It is supported by selfish men, who use no other argu-
ment than, we have the power, and are determined to
maintain the law. But with respect to constitutional re-
forms, the moment they are agitated men begin to diifer
widely: In France, the Liberals dread, if the suffrage
were general, that the priests and the enemies of liberty
would obtain the ascendancy. In this country,
from the inequality of property and the ignorance
and dependence of the population in the agri-
cultural districts, it is supposed by many that
universal suffrage would- only strengthen the land-
lords. Hence many who are ardent friends of
liberty oppose universal suffrage, from a belief that it
would prove.the grave of liberty. In the great towns
alone, they-say, is there anything like public opinion ;
and the improvement that is most wanted in the repre-
sentation is to increase the number of representatives for
great towns, to diminish the number of county represem
tatives, and to place a number of small boroughs in sche-
dule A."—We agree with the Chronicle that an increase
of the representation in great towns is much wanted,
and a proportionate decrease ha the number of county
representatives ; but these are reforms far too efficient
and too really valuable ever to be granted by the Tories
without a desperate struggle. • They dread the force of
public opinion that manifests itself in the great towns,
as much as they encourage by every means in their
power, the ignorance and • prejudice so prevalent in the
agricultural districts. Your true Tory makes it a point
of duty to concede no such reforms to the people, but
such as are scarcely Worth their acceptance.
We quote the following from the Post:—" The new
Government is but just established in office at that
rterio3 of the year which generally forms the recess from
Parliamentary. duty. The Prime Alioister announces
that he intends to bring forward very important mea-
sures, but that some time is required for the considera-
tion of them before they can prudently be submittad to
e
Parliament. Islip publitetaherefore kart ine theadark as
to the general diatptsition with which the Minister _un-
dertakes his task, or has the public really been given
reason to believe that the Minister will prepare his
measures in a harsh, narrow, and excltnive spirit,
as regards the people ? Quite the contrary. Sir
Robert Peel has stated most emphatically what the
principles are upon which he means to proceed, or
at least ho has • stated the nature of the guides
to which he will look in making up his mind
as to the measures he will propose. He has stated, as
plainly as words- can state anything, that the principles
he will adhere to during his public life, whether in oppo-
sition or in power, shall be " in conformity with the pre-
railing good sense, with the moderation, and with the
intelligence of the people of England."—This declaration
of the Tory Pre-tier, plausible es•it is, is a mere flourish
of speech, nothing more. It is just like the majority of
his Parliamentary declarations, meant only to tickle the

long ears of his par the tisene. By people of England,"
thinking with himself ; for it has long been an axiom
with the Tories, that ail the intelligence, good sense, and
moderation of the country are to be found in their ranks.

For these, therefore, Sir Robert Peel will no doubt legis-
late in a very acceptable spirit ; while those who happen
to be without the pale of Toryism wis_ be left to shift for
themselves,
The Times remarks, in reference to the else of Col.
Grogan—" At the same time whatever may become of
poor M'Leod, no person can doubt that this Grogan
of air, if the American details be pertinaciously adhered
to, and foolishly adopted by the Federal Government as
a set-off to the transactions at Navy
Island, must either
produce an immediate war, or very greatly embarrass
the peaceful negotiations now understood to be in pro-
gress. That Grogan's apprehension has been absolutely
necessitated by the strict principles of international law
—principles which the Americans .have too often pre-
sunned to diiregard— we are as thoroughly convinced as
of our own existence. But what with the counter
convictions which may possibly be entertained by- the
Americans, and what with their bitter animo-
sities against this country generally, we almost
dread to anticipate the consequences which seem

I disposed of before any new ground of quarrel arose, the
Governments of Great Britain and the United States

have such a variety of exasperating differences still on-
settled, we cannot do otherwise than augur the very worst.
For want of firm proclamations and a vigilant en-
forcement of them at the time when the American svm-
-1 1 pathizers were fomenting rebellion in Canada, her Ma-
jesty's loyal subjects in that quarter have been literally
1 forced, in self-defence, to supply a practical reparation
of the deficiency. If the Americans cannot repress their
1 insolent aggressions upon British territory, the Queen of
England will assuredly do it for them. If a systematic
series of outrages must needs be inflicted on Britain's
- crown, her iiajesty's forces, instead of abstaining from
doing the duties of the Albargh magistr.aey, will, in all
probability, find ways and means of asserting her great
national - rights under the walls of New York itself:

And if it must come to that, may God send us a good

The Seotsmthn observes, in an article on the subject of
the Church's demands on Government, as urged by the
Church of Enjind Quarterly Review—" That Sir Robert
and his coadjutors regard these absurd claims with con-
tempt and derision, is certain ; but men who live by
shifts and expedients must often purchase the silence of
troublesome partisans. and buy off the hostility of oppo-
nents. Two or three millions annual',,
.for Church Ex-
tension t Such are the modest claims of those to whom
Sir Robert Peel owes his majority. But there is a de-
ficiency in• the revenue, and we are thankful for it!"
The Beton Free Press has the following remarks on
the Chartist system of policy :—" The Chartists weaken
the effect of Anti-Corn-law demonstrations by their
reckless interference, and, instead of strengthening
themselves by it, they only excite disgust and indigna-
tion in many who would otherwise join their ranks. The
food monopoly is the weakest point in the citadel of
monopoly, and by a united people it could easily be
stormed in that airection.a l3,ut the Chartists seek to
break the force of the attack. They seem to forget that
by standing in the way of the Corn-law Repealers they
are at once sacrificing a present good, and patting off
still farther their own more distant objects."
The Leeds Times gives the foll Owing picture of the
present state of the country :—" The people are suffer-
ing, at one and the same time, from hunger and from
surplus produce ; from nakedness and from a glut of
clothing ; from over trading and overworking ; and from
want of trade and want of work ; from panics occasioned
by too much wealth and too much debt ; and from bank-
ruptcy and insolvency, - t'ee fruits of ' plethora' and
unexampled prosperity 1' These are the ' breakers'
which are already under our very bows ; and yet the
first step of Sir Robert Peel, the ' Pilot' who is to
' weather the storm,' is to abandon the vessel fur an en-
tire season to the mercy of the wind and waves."
Speaking of the present Ministry, the Devonport lade-
polka remarks :-=e" So long as the country will endure
to be so represented and governed, so long must it bear
its worst grievance unmitigated. So long as the Tories
-may, with impunity, despise public opinion, they will do
so, -for they never yet rendered it a voluntary deference."
The Liverpool Chronicle advises the people -in these
terms :—" The people must not forget their duty to
themselves. They must let their mis-representatives
know-what they think of them, and they must speak out
in a tone which may force itself to be heard above the
shouts of merriment which will echo through the halls
of Drayton Manor, and disturb the insulting laugh of
, high-rent Buckingham, and all the other enemies of the
country. Yes ; let the work of petitioning the Queen go
on from one extremity of the empire to the other." •
The Dublin Eveni ilg Post, in discussing Lord Alvan-
ley's pamphlet, makes the following incidental re-
marks :—" Professions are totally valueless, when the
Castle. is crowded and ruled by the old and inveterate
enemies of popular rights, sad when the Delzoes are
are awaiting, in regular rank and file, their promotion to
the Judicial Bench, and to the most important offices
connected with the administration of justice. When
Lord Riet is powerless in opposition to the forced ap-
pointment of ono of those Delzoes as his own con'sulting
Counsel, is it net the merest delusion to talk to the
Irish people of the good intentions of the Lord Lieu-
tenant and the Chief Secretary. The plain truth is, that
English Tories govern in Downing-street, whilst Irish
Orange partizans rule in Dublin Castle."
