SPAIN.

Last night we received aMadrid Gazette Extraor-
dinary, published on the 24th ult. Its contents consist
of official documents relative to the suppression of the
revolt in the province of Alava, the most important of
which is the following letter of the Junta to the Queen
Regent :
" Senora,—The general deputation and special legiti-
mate Junta of the province of Alava, after being oppressed
by a guilty faction during the space of forty-four days,
have at length the inexpressible satisfaction of laying at
the royal fret of your Majesty the sincere homage of their
faithful sentiments.
" The snetobers of the Junta have, like your Majesty,
deplored the evils which afflicted your people. Rescued
from an atrocious captivity by your Maje-ty's troops under
General Saarsfield, Commander-in-Chief of the Army in
fhe field, who, amidst public and general applause, and
vivas for your Majesty, entered the city of Vittoria at
half-past 10 this morning, they seize the first opportunity
of communicating to your Majesty this glorious event,
and of ratifying to your Majesty the oath of fidelity which
they took on the very day on which they were so perfi •
diously arrested.
"It is most important, Senora, to your /llajesty'a
Government, and to the felicity of your people, to know
thoroughly the real character of this insurrectional move-
ment.
" The general deputation of your province of Alava is
preparing a regular and detailed account of this event,
which may, at the same time, serve fitly and impartially
to explain the conduct and sentiments of your faithful

province.
"The truth shall he told to your Majesty with tha,
candour which the Junta always exercised with the legi-
timate Government, with the good faith and sincerity in
which this danger was announced and foretold in the
paper of the 9th cf February. This was done with the
most pure and loyal desire that your Majesty's Govern-
ment might acquits strength and be consolidated for the
happiness of your people and the general tranquillity of
Europe, a result which must be essentially influenced,
Senora, by the triumph of the prinicples and nob,e senti-
ments which animate the feeling and virtuous heart of
your Majesty.
" Your Majesty's troops will in a moment disperse the
bands of armed peasants whom they may find in their pas-
sage on the height of Herrera and the declivity of Pena-
cerda. These were preceded by a considerable number
from Vittoria, whose leader is one of the most deluded of
the reitel chiefs, the seductions of fanaticism having been
most profusely employed with him.
" The corps whom the revolutionary tyranny formed of
men forcibly dragged from their families are at present
wandering about, not knowing where to go. Your general
deputation have thought proper to address them and to
sp-ak to them in your Majesty's name, in concert with the
General-in-Chief. The deputation have transmitted the
annexed circular to them, and it is to be hoped that they
will soon return quietly to their families, whom they never
wished to leave.
" May your Majesty deign to receive the humble
prayers and sincere homage of your province of Alava,
legitimately represented by your general deputation and
special Junta.
" May God preserve the Royal Catholic person of your
Majttsty, your august Daughter, oar lady the Queen, and
the Royal family, many years required by this Monarchy.
Signed by " DAGO ORT ES de VELASCO,
" And the other members of the Junta.
" Vittoria, Nov. 21."
In the circular addressed to the people of Alava, the
Junta remarks that all classes may be pronounced inno-
cent, for that the insurrection had no popular character.
It is then stated that the General-in-Chief offers pardon
to all the insurgents under the rank of Captain, who shall
within a fortnight present themselves before the magi-
strates, or lawful authorities of their districts, and sur-
render their arms.
To a note dated the 22d, enclosing those documents to
the Secretary at War, the President of the Junta adds a
postscript, in which he announces that one of the tercios,
or insurgent corps, formed of the youth of the 43 villages
within the jurisdiction of Vittoria, had mutinied and re-
fused to obey the officers. The men, having dispersed,
were returning to their homes.
The Gazette contains the following declaration in the
Queen's name:—
" Her Majesty the Queen Regent has accepted with her
innate benignity the candid and loyal manifestation of sen-
timents made by the legitimate deputation of Alava in the
name of the people of that province. At the same time
that her Majesty will display that inexhaustible clemency
which distinguishes her august mind towards the seduced,
the oppressed, and the misled, who may merit the same
by their prompt submission and efficacious repentance, she
considers it her duty to leave the course of law and justice
open with respect to the real delinquents—namely, the
wicked and ambitious chiefs and leaders who have specu-
lated on thriving by the misfortunes and blood of the

people.
" The facts stated in the documents will prove to all
Europe how firm and indestructible is the throne of our
adored Queen Isabel 11., since it rests upon the ancient and
fundamental laws of the monarchy, which were never in.
yoked in vain among Spaniards—on the universal wish
and ardent love of the people—on the august virtues and
wisdom of her Majesty, who, for the benefits our immortal
Queen has diffused, has merited the title of Mother of the
Spaniards, and has inspired the country with the hope of
a real restoration—and, finally, on the invincible valour
and incorruptible loyalty of the Spanish army.
" Her Majesty the Queen Regent, who well knows how
to appreciate the services of the gallant troops, before
whom the phalanges of usurpation, in whatever number
they might appear, have always been dissipated like
smoke, will scarcely have received the official despatches
of the General-in-Chief, when she will hasten to bestow
the reward due to valour and merit."

DREADFUL ACCIDENT TO THE DUKE OF
WELLINGTON'S COACHMA N. —Saturday, about half-past
1 o'clock, the Duke of Wellington's coachman, whose
name is Trueman, was riding on horseback, in Hyde-park,
when a shower of rain commenced, and Truman put his
horse to a rapid pace in order to get to a place of shelter.
In a few minutes the horse suddenly stumbled and fell
forwards on his shoulder. Trueman was thrown off, and
the left side of his head struck with frightful violence
against the gravel, and being a very heavy man, about IS
stone, the force of his fall must have been tremendous.
Policeman Turner, of the A division, ran to the assistance
of the unfortunate man, whom he found insensible and
bleeding from an extensive wound over the left temple.
Poor Trueman was conveyed to St. George's Hospital,
where lie lies in a very dangerous state. He is between
60 and 70 years of age, and was with his Grace during
the principal part of the war. He was taken prisoner in
the Peninsula, and by the express command of Napoleon
drove the state carriage for many months. Previous to
entering his Grace's service he was coachman to his late
Majesty George IV., when Prince Regent, and he was in
the habit of remarking, when spending a convivial evening
with his friends, that he had driven the three greatest men
of the age.-- Observer.
