SPAIN.

Madrid papers of the 2d have arrived.
The Espana publishes a paper drawn up by Major
PORTAL, the leader of the Seville insurrection, dated
Beja, 22d ult., and signed by various other officers of
the insurgent force. It accuses the Seville Liberals
of having been wanting to their promises, and sits s
that the rising of the troops was in order to execute
a plan agreed upon with a committee of the inhabi-
tants, who had pledged themselves to rise, and that a
body of 400 armed citizens were to have seized and
imprisoned the authorities ; but that not one of them
came forward. He claims the victory in the
affair between a portion of his forces and those of
SIIELLY at San Lucar, and says he remained three
days near Huelva ; but finding the movement not
supported as he had expected, he and the other officers
resolved to march into Portugal, which they did in
perfect order.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Mayor of Paris has published a notice that the
declaration of the poll for the Paris elections will be
made on Thursday morning (this day), at eight
o'clock. The lists had been made up in the majority
of the arrondissements,:and the following are in all
probability the successful candidates :—General
Changarnier, Goudchaux, Thiers, Achille Fould, the
banker, Horace Say, Caussidiere, Victor Hugo,
Emile de Girardin, Hyppolite Passy, and
Moreau. There may perhaps be some alte-
rations to be made in this list, as in
some of the arrondissements Prince Louis Napoleon
Bonaparte has a considerable majority, and in others
Pierre Leroux, Proudhon, and the Socialist can-
didates have a small majority. At Rouen Layer,
T biers, and Charles Dupin are at the head of the
poll. Emile de Girardin is also returned for
Rouen. M. Thiers has also been returned for
L'Orne, sad there is every probability of his being
returned for the Bouches du Rhone and for Algeria.
The intrigues of the Legitimatists and the Orlean-
ists still continue, but we have no doubt but that the
officers of the republic will know how to deal with
the intriguers. It is said, that of these intrigues M.
GUIZOT is the soul, that he plans everything, and
directs everything from England. If the French
Government have proof of the existence of these in-
trigues on the part of M. GUIZOT, it is their duty to
present that proof to the English Government, and
to demand that, under the provisions of the recently-
passed Alien Act, M. GUIZOT should be deported
from England—a demand with which the English
Government would, no doubt, comply should the
proofs be complete, and in a compliance with which
they would be upheld by the people of England, who
will never permit this country to be made an asylum
for those, who abuse its hospitality.

It is said that the Executive Committee have
offered the post of Minister of Justice to M. BETH..
moisr, who has accepted it on condition that M. M.
PORTA.LIS and LANDRIN shall be reappointed the law
officers of the Republic. The cheap banquet of the
ourriers, proposed to be held at Vincennes, has been
postponed to the 11th. By that time the Ateliers
Nationaux will be broken up, and the workmen there
will, it is expected, join the demonstration. Consi-
derable alarm has been excited by the announcement
of this banquet, and the Castle of Vincennes has been
put in such a state of defence as to secure it from all
risk of being carried by a coup de main. On this
subject the Constitutionne/ has the following re-
marks :

" What is all this but agitation under a new form, and
at a period when agitation is our greatcst bane? A
banquet of 50,000 persons is an army. There is the
going to it and the returning, which necessarily causes
immense precessions. The guests, animated with the
most perfect devotedness to public order, say en setting
out where they wish to go, and what they will do, but it
may be boldly said that they know neither the one nor
the other. Such an agglomeration of men has no
power over itself; it obeys a law of sympathetic cohe-
sion, which, binding all pans one to the other, march in
whatever direction it may be guided by some bold
leader. This is the invariable tactic pursued by anar-
chists when they organise manifestations, and it is thus
they mislead the good sense of the masses. To these
chiefs of anarchy what is necessary is a crowd.
The act of recruiting for it consists in making
an appeal to the citizens, and particularly to the
working classes, in the name of an opinion,
or of an interest which concerns them. If they
cannot find sufficient numbers rally in the same cause,
they propose one thing to one part and another thing to
another. The elements of which the assemblage is com-
posed may be various, and they may have opposite ten-
dencies, but that is of no consequence, they corm a great
body. There are precautions to take to isolate one from
the other groups actuated by different intentions. These
precautions taken, the organisers of the manifestation
will place at their head men belonging to themselves ;
they will themselves appear at the last moment, and,
welcomed by their adherents, they proceed to the
Government as the interpreters of the wishes of all
who follow them, whilst, in reality, they only express
their own personal opinion, or that of their own small
faction.

" This is the history of all the manifestations which
we have seen since the 24th of February. On the 17th
of March the workmen had been called toge-
ther under the pretence of protesting against
an alleged re-actionary manifestion of the National
Guard, and to present a testimony of patriotic devoted-
ness to the Republic and to the Provisional Govern-
ment. One hundred thousand citizens assembled to
give force to the Government I What was the conduct
of those who placed themselves at their head? They
wished to compel by violence the resolutions of the
Government in the name of that army of the people who
came to offer it their support.
"On the 16th of April the workmen were called to-
gether in the Champ de Mars, under the pretence of the
elections. They were marched towards the Hotel de
Ville, with the apparent object of placing a patriotic
offering on the altar of the country. God knows what
a fate the head of the column had reserved for the
Provisional Government, whom they considered they
had in their power, if on that day the National Guard
had not suppressed the movement by the sole weight of
their innumerable and immovable masses.
" On the 15th May it was in the name of Poland that
the patriotism of an immense number of citizens was de-
ceived. The head of the column, which at all those
manifestations is always well organised, penetrated into
the chamber; when there the question of Poland was no
longer thought of, but the cry was of the blood shed at
ilouen by the bourgeoisie—the tax of a milliard on the
rich, and the senseless but criminal idea of dissolving
the National Assembly.
" These are examples which we think it well to point
out to all good citizens whe may be disposed to take
part in the ten sous banquet. They may entertain the
innocent idea of fraternising in a frugal repast. But
there will be 900 tables, and 50,000 guests ;
and the place of meeting is at St. Mande, near Vincen-
nes ; the organisers of the banquet are the plagiarists
who daily cry the anger of Pere Duchene in the streets ;
the members of the club of Egalite et Fraternite
yesterday promenaded in the quartier St. Martin,
crying ' Viva Bathes.' These are sinister preludes.
\Ve therefore invite the friends of order to reflect well
on all these circumstances before engaging themselves in
this banquet du campagne, or rather in this campagne du
banquet, and if they still persist in taking part in it, we
recommend them to watch carefully, and with great sus-
picion the head of the column, and to notice the direc-
tion they will take on the return. It will be well for
them to do this, for no one can say where they may be
led, or rather whither they may not be led."

Notwithstanding the proclamation of the Mayor
of Paris, numerous meetings continue to be held
every night on the Boulevards. The Debats thus
describes the state of Paris on Tuesday night :
" Considerable crowds of persons were last evening
assembled o❑ the Boulevards. The Porte Sr. Martin
and the Porte St. Denis were as usual the points
where the masses were the most compact. The par-
tially known result of the election, the decree
against tumultuous assemblages, and the reported re.-
rignation of some members of the Executive Com-
mittee, where the texts taken hold of by the numerous
orators, in order to promote agitation. At nine o'clock
the crowd became very dense, and all the shops in the
neighbourhood were closed, and the armed force soon
atter showed itself. Some battalions of the National

Guard, of the line, and of the Garde Mobile, took u
posisions at the ends of the streets leading on to the
Boulevards. Their presence not serving to tree the cir-
culation of the street:.;, each battalion formed in platoons,
marched at double quick time, with drums beating,
along the whole Boulevards, and between the Rua Pois-
soniere and the Porte S. Martin. The crowd dispersed
but after the troops had passed returned to the same
points, but the greater part of those who were attracted
solely by curiosity effected their retreat on hearing the
drums beat. About half-past eleven the crowds ap-
peared to decrease. No casualty of any kind took
place."
