the military insurrection has not extended beyond
Biscay and the Basque provinces. Our accounts from
Madrid are to the 6th. All the troops in quarters had
received orders to hold themselves in readiness to
march. The Generals in the interest of Espartero had
visited and harangued them. A few arrests had taken
place, and some officers and soldiers of the Royal Guard
have been disbanded. All the grandees of Spain who are
favourable to the reaction are known. Their conduct is
watched, and the National Militia has declared itself
with great energy for the existing Government. Ac-
counts differ as to the number and description of the
troops who left Madrid, on the 6th, to act against
O'Donnell. At the date of the last accounts, the greater
part of the posts of the city were occupied by the Na-
tional Guard. A proclamation had been published
by the . Regent, and profusely circulated in the
neighbouring Provinces. All the South of Spain,
Andalusia, and Estramadura, enjoy the most per-
fect tranquillity. The agents of the Parisian Coln-
mittee at this place are quite thunderstruck at the turn
which things are taking, as they expected prompt
success, and our authorities, who until now appear to
have tolerated their intrigues, are much more re-
served. An order of the Prefect, and a decision of Ge-
neral Harispe, will render it much more difficult for the
Christino agents to send supplies to the insurgents. The
Carlist refugee officers and soldiers are closely watched.
This measure is attributed to the representations of the
Spanish Consul here, and those of his superior, M. Olo-
zags, in Paris. It was stated here yesterday evening,
that a body of troops, under the orders of Espartero,
was already, on the morning of the 6th instant, ten
leagues from Madrid, in the direction of Aranda, but
this statement needs confirmation. The English couriers
who arrive persist in saying that the garrison of Sara-
gossa is marching by Tudela upon Pampeluna."
The Ayuntanuento of Parupeluna, has published a Pro-
clamation forbidding the inhabitants to communicate
with the citadel, and declaring that energetic measures
will be enforced against any person favouring the move-
ment against the Government at Madrid. O'Donnell's
fire is said not to have caused much damage to the town;
only 54 shots were fired. A parley had been commenced.
Ortigosa, in the engagement with llibeiro's troops,
killed from 12 to 15, and wounded 60; he had carried
off six prisoners.
" Bilbao," says the Memorial Bordelais, " remained
quiet up the 6th inst., but was waiting impatiently for
news from Madrid. On the sth, all was still calm, also
at Saragossa, and it Ras believed that this city would
refuse to follow the move of O'Donnell."

The indicate/LT of Bordeaux, after stating that the
Infante Don Francisco de Paula arrived at Bayonne on
the 7th inst., says that his Royal Highness intended to
proceed to Madrid by the shortest and safest road.
The Prince was accompanied by the Count de Parsent,
his Chamberlain, and M. Hoyos, Under Secretary to the
Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs. It appears that
his Royal Highness experienced some annoyances from
the police on passing through Mont de Marsan, and
more on entering Bayonne, but the circumstances were
not known. His family remains at Bordeaux, as already
stated.

6 (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir J. Louis, Bart.);
Powerful, 84 (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir J. A.
Ommanney, K.C.8.) ; Hastings, 74 ; frigate Tyne ;
steam frigates Gorgon, Vesuvius, Stromboli ; steamers
Polyphemus, Alecto, yacht cutter Stork, French steamer
Minos.

Her Majesty's ship Howe, Captain Sir W. 0. Pell,
sailed for Syracuse on the 2d ult., in company with the
Indus, Captain Sir J. Stirling, and the Vanguard, Cap-
tain Sir Dunn. On the 27th the Savage, Lieutenant
Bowker, sailed for Tripoli, and next day the Cyclops,
Captain 11. T. Austen, for Constantinople, with Emir
Beschir and family. The Powerful was refitting in qua-
rantine. The Weazle was at Corfu, with the Vernon.
The Tyne is ordered home. The Rodney has left Bey-
rout for Malta.

The Howe, Vanguard, and Indus, ships of the line,
were, as some allege, to take in water at Syracuse, and
thence to proceed to Tunis to relieve the three line-of-
battle ships off that city, others say to reinforce them.
The former appears the most probable opinion, inasmuch
as the advice during the last two months from Con-
stantinople, and up to the latest dates, do not say
a word about a Turkish expedition being fitted
out against either Tripoli or Tunis, and as the French
ships will not act without any expedition of this sort
taking place, there could be no object to reinforce
the British division of observation. The whole appears
a delusion of the Bey, but whether the French are the
authors of this delusion is altogether another question.
We are, however, disposed to think that the French,
who wish to remain quiet in Algiers, have not the least
intention of making aggressions in Tunis, which would
endanger their African possessions.
The affair of the I'aliiiure at Tripoli is a little sus-
picious. But this brig may be merely watching the
Ottoman storeships, a reinforcement of provisions and
ammunition being absolutely necessary for the mainte-
nance of Tripoli by the Porte. The Savage left on the
27th for Tripoli, to look after the French ships said to
have gone there. _ _

The crews of the English ships in the Bay of Beyrout
have suffered much from fever.
The Duchess de la Vittoria arrived in Gibraltar on
the sth inst. Her Highness was attended on shore by
Captain Chambers, commanding her Majesty's ships in
the bay, and was received, on landing, by the Governor,
who conducted her to the head-quarters, where apart-
ments had been prepared for her reception.

A guard of lanodr of the 79th Highlanders had been
in readiness all day, but, owing to the late hour of her
Highness's arriv i al, n consequence of the strong westerly
wind, all military compliments were dispensed with.
We understand the Duchess de la Vittoria will remain
two or three days at the Convent.

The Baron iind Baroness de Carondelet and General
Ordonez have been invited by the Governor and Lady
Woodford to meet her Highness at dinner to-day.
