INSURRECTION I N
SPAIN.

MADRID, OCT. 10.—The part of the grand- military
conspiracy against the liberties of Spain, which Was to
have been enacted in Madrid, has proved a signal failure,
The result leaves one in doubt, whether to admire most
the baseness and wickedness of the attempt, or the
cowardly and stupid way in which it was sought to be
executed. With half a dozen Generals of the highest re-
putatiomin Spain; a thousand men at theincominanl, and
in complete possession of the avenues of the Palace, up
to the very doors leading to her Majesty's apartments,
they were net only not able to secure their prize, but
have the greater part of them already fallen into the
hands of justice. The night before last two squa-
drons of cavalry, who were ordered to proceed,
on the morning' of the relief of 'the Palace, in
search of the leaders of the conspiracy, who ...were.
known to have taken the road of the Pardo, conveyed
back General Leon and the two Fulgosios prisoners,
whom they overtook near Colmenar Viejo, about five
leagues from Madrid. They were immediately handed
overlto the custody 'of the National Guards, and remain
confined in the central guard-room of that force in. the
convent of St. Thomas, in the street of Atocha.. .Gene-
ral Leon was taken in the full uniform of a General of
Hussars, and carrying upon hit person all his crosses
and orders. In his possession was found an autograph
letter of Maria Christina, giving him hill powers to es-
tablish a provisional Government till her arrival in
Madrid. The letter is besides said to have contained
instructions for the securing the young Queen's ,person,
the execution. of Espart"ero, Arguelles, the existing Go
vernment, whoever they might be, and all the members
of the late provisionalliegency who cotdd.be found.
On the following day.: tlicalcade of AraVaca, a,village
a few leagues from Madrid, and the National Guards of
the place, conveyed to Madrid, and delivered into the
hands of the political chief Brigadier Requena and Col.
Quiroga, who were found in a cart, stowed up in two
large baskets, in which charcoal is 'usually taken to mar:
,ket in this country, and in this way endeavouring to
effect their escape. The Duke of San Carlos, who as-
serts he went merely to the Palace as usual in the dis-
charge of hit duties. as a " Gentleman of the Bed-
chamber" on the evening of the attack, has not, I
understand, been arrested. Brigadier Nozogoray
was also arrested on the night of the attack by the
officers in one of the barracks, where he went to
inqUire for General Leon. To the crime of con-
spiracy this officer attempted to add that of assassins
tion, and which was only prevented by the presence of
mind of a brave young officer who had him in custody,
and who, seeing him put his hands in his side pockets,
suspected his intention, and immediately applying a pis-
tol to his breast, arrested the execution.of the fatal in-
tention. On examination a pistol was found, cocked, in
his pocket. Re remains a prisoner also. As yet, I be-
lieve, neither Generals Concha nor Piguero have been
discovered. It was confidently believed last night and
this morning that they had been taken in the Pardo after
a violent resistance, but on inquiry I'found these reports
require confirmation. Colonel .3diclova, Brigadier
.Nove-
las, and Ramonet, who also were at the , Palace com-
manding the mutineers, have hitherto not -been taken:
A permanent Council of War has been established for the
trial of the offenders.

The city remains perfectly tranquil, but.of course in a
state of much excitement. Both the' people and the
National Guards are
.conducting themselves with the
utmost moderation and circumspection. Not a single in-
dividual of the lower or middle classes of the city joined,
the insurgents on the night of the attack. The whole
was conducted and executed by military men and a few
of the nobility.
The Marquis of Rodil, who is promoted to-day in the
Gazette to the rank of a Captain-General in the Spanish
army, the highest in the service, goes as Commander-in-
Chief of the army of the North.. LOrenzo has been also

promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-General, as prepa-
ratory to his employment in active service, if this should
become necessary.
'for-day the Queen completes her 11th year, having
been born on the 10th of October,- 1830, and commenced
her reign on the 29th of September, 1833. In conse-
quence of the recent occurrences the usual levee on her
birth-day was not held. The Regent, however, rode
down on horseback to the Palace, about one o'clock, to
visit her Majesty, who drove out afterwards in the even-
ing through the city.
OCT. 11.—The Council of War, appointed to try the
conspirators, and to the presidency of which Senor Ca-
palz has been named in the piece of Gen. Buytron, is still
sitting, and at three o'clock this day, when they had
been about thirty-six hours engaged in investigations,
had come to no decision in the case of any of
the prisoners. The Council, however, was pledged not
to rise from their duties till they came to -a decision.
As one of the means to interest the liberal party in
the favour of the accused, Gonzales Bravo has been em-
ployed to defend the case of Leon, and a petition on the
part of the National Guards is going about for signa-
tures to save them. A number of the female friends of
the conspirators also waited on the Regent yesterday, to
supplicate him to pardon them. His reply was, I under-
stand, that if it depended upon him personally to do
anything for them he would most willingly do so, but
that they were in the hands of justice and of the laws,
and that he could not interfere. -.With respect to the
real feeling of the National Guards.and the inhabitants
I am inclined to think it is for punishing these men.
The National Guards who accompanied the remains of
their companion to the churchyard of the Irun Carral
are said to have made a vow of vengeance over his grave.
A private meeting of the senators, at present in the
-capital, was held to-day, at one o'clock, to consider the
state of affairs. The Ministers of the Interior and of
Marine, and two of the Council of War, were present
on the occasion. A severe censure was passed by, some
of the senators present upon the neglect of the Govern-
ment in the late business, which was sought to be de-
fended by Senor Infante, Minister of the Home Depart-
ment. On the whole, however, the general feeling was
to give the Government that support in the.presentbcrisis
which all admitted was required by the circumstances
of the country. The members of the Council of War,
who attended, stated that they were actively engaged in
the cases submitted to them.
The corporation went in a body to the Palace yester-
day to congratulate her Majesty on her birth-day, and
on her happy escape from the conspiracy against her
Majesty's safety. The political chief, as the head of the
corporation and provincial deputation, the members of
which were also present, made an eloquent address to this
effect on the occasion ; to which -her Majesty replied by
expressing her thanks for the loyalty of both bodies,
and their solicitude for her personal safety and the
security of the institutions of the country. The
corporation then proceeded ,to the , house of the
Duke de la Victoria, to reassure him of their sup-.
port, and that he might call upon them for any
resources in men or money which they could sup-
ply. The Duke made a most energetic reply, with which
the body returned entirely satisfied. A deputation of
the National Guard also waited on him, and expressed
their entire confidence in him in the- trying crisis in
which the country was placed.
The Marquis of Rodil marches to-morrow with a por-
tion of the troops here to take the command of the army
of operations in the north. The Duke will probably
follow him by Friday or Saturday next, but this mist of
course depend upon circumstances. This, however, is his
intention at the present moment. Seventy-five thonsand
men is the number of troops which are expected to be
assembled there in a very few days.
The wife and children of General Leon are said to,
have arrived here to-day from Valencia.

OCTQBEA 12.—The Gazette of this morning contains
two circulars—one signed by the Minister of Finance,
Senor Surra y Rull ; the other by Senor Infante, Minis-
ter of the'lnterior, which may be considered as the ex-
pression of the altered tone assumed by the Government
towards their enemies, who have passed the limits of
mere political opponenta since the night of the 7th.
A few extracts will suffice to give an idea of the new lan-
guage of the most forbearing of Governments:—" The re
bellion," says the first circular of the Gazette, " which has
broken out in some of the provinces of- the kingdom,
and the frightful crime committed in the heart of
the capital, are demonstrative proofs of the Govern-
ment's efforts being in vain to heal the wounds of
the country, and to secure that -peace desired by all
good Spaniards, if they longer took benevolence and in-
dulgence for their guides. It has, therefore, become ne-
cessary in the existing circumstances to give up all, once
hi- all, every idea of respect or consideration towards
the secret enemies of the eountry, who treasonably vio-
late the laws ; and with this view his Highness the
Regent, convinced of the necessity of surrounding him-
self with persons whose interests and principles, are in
complete harmony with those proclaimed at the re-
volution of September, has been pleased to order that,
without failing in justice, but- with all despatch pos-
sible, demanded by the just indignation of the people,
you will propose the separation, with the reasons
thereof, of all persons holding situations in the
offices of your province, who do not inspire the most
complete confidence with respect to their adhesion to
existing institutions." The second circular couched in
similar terms, orders an inquiry with respect to all per,
sons who, under pretence' of belonging to the Govern-
ment Offices, did not join their respective companies as
National Guards on the night of the 7th, with the view
to their punishment according to the ordinanza of that
force, which, I believe, is nearly the same as that in use
in the regular army. No one, even the greatest oppo-;
nent of the Government, can justly complain that they
have at length held this language, and taken measures for
the safety of those institutions over which they preside.
The 'trial of the. Conspirators is still in progress. Last

to be seen in preparation in every quarter. This morn-
ing, about ten o'clock, the division of General Rodil,
about 10,000 strong, moved out of Madrid on their march
to the provinces by way of Burgos. The day for the
Duke's departure is not yet fixed, but I expect it will be'
within the present week. He will certainly make not a
moment's delay beyond seeing Madrid in a state in which
he may safely leave it. Gen. Seoane, whose firmness and
fidelity can be alike relied on, is sent for to Madrid from
Valencia, and will doubtless take a leading part in the
management of affairs in the Duke's absence. A larger
number of the National Guards were called out open
duty to-day, in order to supply the place of the garrison

roeps, who marched ant-
ef town with General Rodil. In

About thirty- one Depeties assembled yesterday, in

Ocee 13.-e--Lest night the messenger who conveyed the
account of the:events of the night of the 7th instant at
Madrid to Valencia, returned in the extraordinary short
period of five days, and• states that the most indignant
feeling prevailed on the.receipt of the news, the National
Guards of the city and of the neighbouring towns not
only; of but insisting-upon going to Arragon, to
join Eeparteep, there to put-devils Abe rebellion. Official
addresses from the political' chiefs and corporations to
their various districts and towns have been received here
from Avila, Badiejos, Burgos, Palencia, Toledo, Segovia,
.Leon, Cuenca, Valladolid, Zamora, Salamanca, and Va-
lencia. In a very few days it will be found that the
treater part of the towns of_Spain will have pronounced
their opinion in favour of and given their support to the
present order of things. .
The . Permanent Council of War, appointed to try
General Leon and his colleagues for the attempt of the
night of the 7th, assembled tosday in the church of San
Isidro, to hear the defence of the prisoners reed by
General Roncali, selected by the accused for that duty.
The Council of War met in „the church about -twelve,
and . after bearing mass, General Leon was conducted to
the place from the barrack of San Tomas, in the street
of Atocha, where he was guarded by the National
Militia, since his arrest. Ile. was taken to the church in
a carriage, accompanied by the Fulgosios and General
Roncali, and- escorted-by the National Guards, who also
were on duty iii great forie along the:Way, and prevented
the approach of the crowds to the. church. Leon was
dressed in the full uniform of-a. General of Hussars, with
the large cross of Cherles-Mi &c. :He seemed perfectly
composed.. Amongst she documents produced for time pro-
secution,: was a letter addressed by the ..aCcused to the
Duke de la V ictorisseetetiog that he, General Leon, had
orders from Maria Christina to depose the Duke, and
that Maria, Christina had resolved upon corning to Spain
tore-assume the,
.Regency of the kingdom. In his de-
fence General Leon' auel. his advocate, Roncali, pleaded
not guilty to. the charges against him. At half-past five:
th,e Council broke-up, the prosecutor, Brigadier Minusier,
having, -sought time to. reply ,to the -defence, so that the
case is not yet decided. . .
The Gazette of to-day eonteinit several circulars. One
of them orders that all the officers of the Ist Regiment
of the Royal Guards, who were suspended some days
ago, shall present themselves in forty-eight hours to the
Captain-General of New' Castile, or that, they will be
considered as outlaws. Another ordains that •no- leave
of absence will for the present be given to military men,
and that all those who have obtained such leave will
immediately return to their regiments.

OceronEtt 14 —The unfortunate General Leon has
been found guilty, and condemned to death. This morn-
ing, at one o'clock, he was informed of, his sentence, and
to prepare for his execution. Than the attempt made by
his advocate to prove his innocence nothing could be
more absurd, or indeed mischievous, and unworthy of
him. Much better would it have been for him to have at
once acknowledged his offence, and ,thrown.himself on
the mercy of his judges and the sympathies of the peo-
ple: Instead of this, the ridiculous plea was set up of
his being wholly innocent of the charges alleged against
him, which could only eerve:to turn public feeling more
and more against him. The unhappy prisoner is said to
conduct himself with much serenity. To-day lie had an
interview with the Secretary of the Duke de la Victo-

with the trials of the other prisoners. Generals Saenz

EXECUTION OF GENERAL LEON.
OCT. 15.—Two O'CLOCK, P.M.—Poor Leon has just
paid the last penalty of the law. Precisely at one o'clock
lie was taken, in an open carriage, from the "central
guard room of the National Guard,- in the old Convent
of San Tomas, in the street .of Atocha, accompanied by
his friend, General, Roncali, and the clergymen who as-
sisted him in his last moments to the place of execution
immediately outside the gate of Toledo, where at 20 mi-
nutes to 2 o'clock he was shot by a picket of the Caza-
dores of Luchana. The streets leading to the site of the
melancholy:scene were early lined with the National Guard
and troops of the line, and no person allowed to pass
either in, the line of the procession, or to go outside the
gates of the city. Few had, therefore, an opportunity of
witnessing the sad spectacle. The streets, however, and
all the points from which a glimpse of the procession
could be obtained, were filled by chiefly the middleeand.
lower classes of the citya. but • without the slightest dis,
order, or desire of producing -any, haying been evinced.
by ,the assembled crowds. A flash of his natural courage
illuminated the last moments of tho ill-fated chief. ,- On.
arriving on the fatal ground, he descended with perfect
composure from his carriage, and walked with the ut-
most firmness of tread, dressed in full uniform, to the
spot marked out for him to -meet his sorrowful end. He
there, embracing General Bancali and the , clergyman
in attendance, addressed a few words to the, persons
with
ers ;ftill medi:unshaken voice. He de-
nied being a 'traitor or a co-wards of which he
had -been accusectee he had given, he said, Many'

his voice, with an animated gesture, cried, !` Viva Isabel

of command, the picket fired, and.. he was no. more. The
troops and. National Guards who attended on the occa-
sion returned immediately h same; line they pro-
ceeded to without the gates, the crowds quietly disperod,
and at the hour of writing the city continues in a state of
the most complete tranquillity. Remarks would be
superfluous. The act. "of itself declares its importance.
ft is; perhaps, the 'first- time that constitutional Spain -
has witnessed the complete. fulfilment of justice in cases
of this description. The moral, I trust, will not lost
either upon the domestic or foreign enemies of Spain.
Upon their heads rests the blood of the unfortunate men
engaged in the present conspiracy; but I must close.

dwelling of their sovereign be added the circumstances
of the tender ago of that Sovereign and her infant sister,
the event, if possible, assumes a character of still darker
guilt.

- The Government cannot look upon it in any other
light, and cannot avoid denouncing it to the execration
of all virtuous men, and to all Europe. The atrocious
and barbarous attempt will doubtless be the signal of
many such crimes ; the signal for involving the country
in another civil war still. more bloody than that which
has just terminated. In this light have the Government
to consider the subject, and to see that the full vigour of
the laws overtake the criminals.
The Government doubts not of the good sense and cor-
dial support of the people towards the Queen and free
institutions of the country, and that they will tranquilly
await the application of the laws by the proper tribunals,
and thus secure the triumph of freedom and the prospe-
rity of the country.
Upon you, loyal Spaniards, gallant soldiery, and brave
National Militia; I rely to sustain the throne of our inno-
cent Queen and the Constitution. Aided by such power-

opinion, I entertain no fear of the success of our cause.
DUQUE DE LA VITTORIA.
THE., INSURRECTION IN THE BASQUE PRO-
VINCES.

SAN SEBASTIAN, OCT. 15.—The revolutionary expedi-
tions of Munagorri are for ever at an end. The unfor-
tunate man was shot yesterday about half-past two
o'clock, near the iron foundry of Zumarista, between
Oyarzun and Lassaca. He had engaged with about 15
or 16 followers to conduct Carrequiri, who was proceed-
ing to France, across the mountains, and after having
seen him safely enter the French territory, ho was in
the act of making his way back, when the well-known
Elorri got information of the direction he had taken.
In order to make himself more sure of his prey, Elorri
pretended that he came to join the party of Munagorri,
and immediately shouted out, Viva la Reines Guyer-
nadora, y clean log fueros." The ancient Chapelgorri
soon came up with the person he was in search of, who
was at the moment in company with 10 or 12 of his parti-
sans three or four of whom only were armed. The mo-
ment Munagorri caught a sight of this new convert to
fuerism, he guessed that the object of his visit was not
friendly—be knew that his doom was sealed, and he saw
that his only safety was in flight. Thoso who had no
weapons immediately fled, and the few who possessed
arms were soon deprived of them, and made prisoners by
the Chapelgorris. Munagorri himself was mounted,
and on seeing Elorri, he clapped spurs to his horse, and
Made an attempt to escape. But his vigilant enemy
was not thus to be baffled. One of his followers caught
hold of the reins, and clung to them until he was dragged
some paces onward. Elorri called out to him several

times to surrender, but Munagorri still tried to escape
with all the desperation of a man who knew that he had
no mercy to expect. Elorri took his aim, fired, and
wounded the horse on which the other rode. The animal
reared, and then fell heavily, with the rider under. The
whole troop then delivered their fire upon the horse and
his rider, and it was all over. They rushed to the spot,
and lifted up the bleeding corpse of their enemy. He
was pierced by no less than seven balls.
_ Thus perished this unquiet and restless man, who, if
he had continued with steady perseverance in the occu-
pation to which he had been habituated since his early
youth, might have commanded a respectable station in
society. Munagorri was originally an escribano, but
soon. abandoned the profession of the law, and com-
menced the business of a roa&contractor. He subse-
quently became engaged in iron-works, in which for a
time he succeeded better than in his former pursuits.
He became, however, at length involved in serious diffi-
culties, owing, it is said, more to the restlessness of his
disposition than to his want of capacity. Those to whom
he was indebted have said, that the embarrassments of a
pecuniary nature with which he was then struggling,
and not patriotism, formed the principal motive of his
raising the standard of Paz and fueros in the province
of Guipuzeoa in the year 1838.
Munagorri was a kind hearted, generous, and amiable
Man, but he was not made of that stuff which goes to the
formation of political leaders or chiefs of insurrection.
He has left a large, and, I believe, a helpless family
(but indifferently provided for, through the fault of the
(,hief), to lament his loss.

His surrendering to Elorri would have finally made no
difference in his fate, except that his life might perhaps
hare been prolonged a week or ten days; he was a
