vious to the last telegraphic despatch which an-
nou need the determination of ESPARTERO to
oppose the party that surround the QUEEN, and to
maintain the Constitution of 1537. These will be
read with interest, as showing the extreme reluc-
tance with which the QUEEN REGENT yields to
the Juntas (if consulting ESPARTERO, who sup-
ports them, can be called yielding), and the spirit
with which these bodies act, in defiance of the
established Government. The proclamation from
the Ayuntamicnto of Barcelona the inhabitants,
breathes nothing but fury against the Camauilla and
foreign influence. " A faction," it states, " unworthy
tobelong to the Spanish people,because it is under the
dictation of foreign influence, obstinately attempts
to plunge you into a gulf of misfortunes ;" and,
in another place, " the attack has commenced upon
what presses most intimately on our popular rights
—on our municipal liberties. Let us rather perish
a thousand times, fellow-citizens, than consent to such
iniquitous usurpations." It is needless to say spirited
expressions like these will be responded to by
every city in Spain, and f-'n the flame against that
" foreign influence" which the Liberal party have
had so many good reasons to dread. Seeing the
vast force raised against her—the army, the national
guards—the municipal authorities, and, what is
greater than all, the national pride, the QUEEN
REGENT must of necessity yield, or take her de-
parture to Paris or Naples. But even if she con-
sent to all the demands of ESPARTERO and the
Juntas, little hopes can remain of anything like
a cordial union. Suspicions of her fidelity
to the Constitution, nay something more than
suspicions, have been raised, and there will be a
constant jealousy of her conduct on the part of the
people, V. ho have risen almost unanimously "to
sive the constitutional institutions, the throne of
ISABEL 11., and the national independence, against
the traitors who are attempting to construct upon
their ruins the edifice of tyranny." The next des-
patch from Valencia, is looked for with much

anxiety.
The Madtid Gazette of the 7th contains the
following judicious remarks on this untoward event:
The Queen should know, and ought never to forget,
that anarchy and that republic, which certain parties
affect to apprehend, can never arrive in Spain. It is a
crime against the generosity and good sense of the
Spanish people to accuse them of wishing to forget
their proverbial fidelity to their Kings. If her Ma-
jesty would but regard the perfect order which reigns
in the capital—although deprived of its regular Go-
vernment, so contrary to democratic violence—she
would hasten to respond to the wishes of freemen ex-
pressed in a dignified manner by the Provisional Junta ;
she would thus put an end to the agitation which per-
vades men's minds, and which may cause irreparable
injury. The cause of the throne would gain more by
such a course than even that of the people. In mo-
dern society the people possess the means for over-
coming the obstacles that arc opposed to its happiness,
but thrones are seriously endangered when they at-
tempt to contend against the spirit of the age.
The Gazette also states—
Amongst the persons holding public offices who have
refused to serve under the orders of the Government at
Madrid, appear the names of Senors Garcia, Perez de
Castro, De Ban, Pacheco, and Castejan.
Business on the Bourse was very animated on the
7th. The Five per Cents. were done at .26-,1- for cash,
and 2G at sixty days.
The Guardia Nacional conveys news f; ern Valencia
of the date of the 4th of this month. It app.lars '
that the political Government of that province had
published a report respecting the events which have
recently taken place in the capital of Spain. The
report concludes by declaring it to be the intention
of the Government to adopt the most energetic mea-
sures for the restoration of the Queen's authority at
Madrid, and for the repression of any other attempts at
insurrection.
The Eco de Arragon of the Bth announces that the
province of Huesca had imitated the example of Sara-
gossa, and appointed a junta of Government. The
lyuntamientos of Calatayud and Ayerve had likewise
adhered to the programme of the " movement," and the
latter having assembled the battalion of the National
militia on the 6th on the square of the Constitution,
the authorities and citizens renewed their oaths to the
fundamental compact, which they swore to defend with
arms in hands, even at the sacrifice of their lives.
Accounts from Bayonne of the 10th September state
that Don Firmin Arteta, recently appointed Minister of
the Interior, has not proceeded to Madrid, preferring to
await the result of the present crisis in Bayonne.
Accounts have also been received from St. Se-
bastian of the same date, stating that the Ayunta-
miento of Logrono had declared in favour of the
popular movement at Madrid.
