SPAIN.

MADRID, OCT. 26.—AddreSses and offers of support
of all kinds continue to pour in frOm the country. The
Junta of Barcelona tell the Minister of the Interior to '
inform the Regent that they have a million of reals
(10,00('1.) at his disposal for the support of the army of
Operations, and that he may begin to draw for this sum
as soon as he pleases. The, Junta hashesides given the
garrison a month's pay. The reaction is complete and
cheering. ESpartero has more loyalty and resources at
his command than he can possibly require to put down
treason and intrigue. fills enemies have made him the
idol of the people. Were he an ambitious man, or
sought the position in which he is placed by recent
events, he should bless Maria Christina and Louis Phi-
lippe every day of his lire. The ravings of the Journal
Iles Debuts only draw, I assure you. the hearts of the
Spaniards closer and closer around him. They are the
people in this world least inclined to man-worship and
leaderisinemocratic by nature, and suspicious from
frequent disappointment; but their French neighbours
have, as it; were, compelled them to rally round a man
whom they see and feel they can trust without fear, and
admire without spoiling.
The Marquis of Saldanha arrived here last night from
Lisbon, by way of Cadiz and Seville. The Infante Don
Francisco de Paula is to reside in Valladolid. It was
obvious from the beginning that •he could not live as he
formerly did in Madrid. The trial of eight of the officers
concerned in the attack on the Palace on the night of the
Bth instant came on to-day. The Fiscal demanded the
penalty of death against four of them who escaped, and
against the other four, who were made prisoners, ten
years' imprisonment and loss of honours. The Tribunal
of Marine and War have confirmed the sentence of the
Council of War in the cases of Requena and Quiroga.
General Roncali, who conducted the defence of Leon,
contradicts in the papers his having resigned, but states
that he has ceased to command in the division to which
he belonged.
We had no foreign post to-day. Fives Active 261-
time to-day.
The Castellano of the 2Gth ult. contains the following
description of the dinner given to the Halberdiers :
" Yesterday took place the banquet offered by the
Provincial Deputation and the Municipality to the Hal-
berdiers, who so valiantly defended the Palace on the
night of the 7th ult. Colonel Dulce occupied the seat of
honour, at his right was placed the Political Chief, and on
his left the Marquis de Valle Umbroso. Under each of
the napkins intended for the Colonel and his companions
was placed a printed paper containing an account of their
heroic exploits, and the congratulations of the Municipality
for the bravery displayed by thein. The names of the
18 Halberdiers were inscribed in large letters, and placed
in a golden frame. 'rhe dinner was served splendidly,
and several patriotic toasts were proposed by the Politi-
cal Chief, the Marquis de Valle Umbroso, MM. Bero-
qui, Cortina, Crespi, and others. The band belonging
to the Halbordiers executed several select airs during
the entertainment. After dinner the entire company
repaired to the Theatre de la Cruz, where they were re-
ceived with salvos of applause, alai on their departure
the people of Madrid manifested by enthusiastic excla-
mations that they participated in the fete given to the
brave, the heroic Halberdiers."
