the Crimean Army, let us say, for example—
precisely what a physician would be who (instead

last night in the duchy of Masta-Carrara.*
The particulars are not known here yet.
The telegraphic wires thence are broken.

TURIN, MONDAY MORNING.

The movement at Massa has been completely

suppressed. Only about 60 persons crossed from
the Sardinian territory ; 20 were arrested on the

'rontier.

The telegraphic communication has been re.

e4tablished.

SPAIN.

The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the follow.

ng article on the" recent events in Spain :

"We have watched with interest the recent
events in Spain, and we have approved them to
a certain extent, as we fancied we discovered

,herein a favourable chance for establishing the

Constitutional Government on a firm basis ; for
France, which represents in Europe the ideas of
1789, can entertain no other wish than that of
beholding a neighbouring State, in whose prospe-
rity she takes a deep interest, avoid anarchy or
despotism—those two shoals so dangerous to pro-
gress and liberty ; and, as the Espartero Ministry
did not seem to possess either the power to pre-
vent excesses or the requisite energy to lead a
groat country, it is natural to hail with sympathy
a change of a nature to consolidate the throne of
Isabella 11.

" Some foreign journals, blinded by their un-
warranted preference for a name, have called a
coup d'etat that which was simply a resignation
of Ministers, accepted purely aad simply by the
Queen after reiterated fefusals. If the resig-
nation.had been that 'of O'Dminell they would
have found it perfectly constitutional. Party spirit

should never misrepresent things to such an ex-
tent, and thereby endeavour to mislead public
opinion.

"The condition of Spain had been deplorable
for two years ; that great country, for so long a
time the arbiter of Europe, whose alliance but
recently was eagerly sought for, had sunk into
insignificance. It had neither finances, nor army,
nor commerce, nor administration, nor influence
abroad. In this difficult position ambitious men,
instead of endeavouring to give strength to what
existed, attempted to overthrow it, either by
flattering the passions of the mob or by attempt-
ing to realise dangerous utopias. The disorders
which have agitated Spain for the last few
years must be attributed to the fatal idea of
certain Ministers, four years since, to make a
coup d'etat, when Spain was tranquil and
prosperous, and when there was no cogent reason
to urge them to make a sudden change in the
laws of the kingdom.
" For a coup d'etat to be legitimate in the eyes
of posterity it must be justified by a supreme
necessity, and be regarded by all men as the sole
means of saving tho country.
" We know those who dreamt of coups d'etat
not with a view to modify some institutions, but
to subvert the throne or change the dynasty, either
by uniting Portugal to Spain under the House of
Braganza, or by establishing a regency. We there-
fore give credit (nous lui savons gre) to Marshal
O'Donnell for having attempted, without a coup
d'etat, to restore order in Spain, the first and
indispensable basis of liberty. We give him due
credit for having during the first moment of
anarchy devoted all his care to the reform of the
Spanish army, as well in a moral as in a material
point of view ; for it did not suffice to reform bat-
talions and squadrons—it -was essentially neces-
sary to give to soldiers who are as brave as they
are capable of great things the only mainsprings
for the maintenance of an army, duty and fidelity
to the Sovereign, and discipline.
" Let us hope, then, that the recent changes
will put an end to those coups d'etat and to those
baneful pronunciamentos, for it is our sincere
desire that Spain, which contains so many ele-
ments of strength and prosperity, should resume,
in the midst of quiet, the rank which is her due,
instead of descending to the level of certain Re-
publics of South America, where neither patriot-
ism, nor civic virtues, nor high principle are to
he found, but only a few Generals who dispute
the power with the help of soldiers led astray by
empty promises.
The Moniteux also publishes the following
items of intelligence :
BARCELONA, JULY 24.
The Consul-General of France to his Excel-
lency the Minister of Foreign Affairs :
We have just learned that General Ruiz, the
commandant of Gerona, has evacuated that town.
He was only followed by a company of chasseurs
of the national militia. It is not known what
direction he has taken. Catalonia is therefore
freed from revolutionists. The militia of little
localities hasten everywhere to give up their
arms.

PERPIGNAN, JULY 26

Affairs :

inst :

The Trefeet of the Eastern Pyrenees has sent
the following despatch to his Excellency the Mi-
nister for Foreign Affairs :
The events iu Catalonia continue to be more
and more favourable to the cause of the Queen.
The revolutionary junta of Gerona is dissolved,
consequent, it is said, on the arrival of the troops
of Rosai. General Ruiz has fled to France, as
well as the Deputy Henriquez Clement, one of the
leaders of the insurrection. Discouragement and
disorganisation were making rapid progress in the
ranks of the insurgent militia.
ST. SEBASTIAN, JULY 26.

The French Consul has sent the following des-
patch to his Excellency the Minister fur Foreign

General Echague is still at Alagon, near Sara-
gossa. He has established a telegraph-office, and
communicates with us. The insurgents of Sara-
gossa have demanded a suspension of hostilities
for five days ;it has been granted. Brigadier
Smid has waited upon General Echague. He is
to bring over some of the troops desirous of sub-
mitting.
Great discouragement prevails at Saragossa.
The truth is beginning to make itself known.
These advices are of the 25th. To-day, the 26th,
the General informs me of the surrender of Jaca.
The garrison has been relieved and the Governor
changed.
Other advices received at Paris announce the
arrival of General Duke before Saragossa.

Our accounts from Madrid are of the 23d

The Gazette publishes the following official de-
spatch from Barcelona :--
"The moment intelligence of the change of Ministry
reach6d Barcelona the extreme Rattles began to raise
their heads. The agitation redoubled when the rebellion
of Saragcssa became known, and it was then evident
that a collision N,asimminent. Daring the night of the
17th s,r;ous symptoms o' disorder were observed. In
the evening of the 18th the movement broke oaf, a
portion of the national militia joining in it. The de-
monstrations, twice repeated by the troops to induce
the armed groups to disperse, being attended with
no result, the military authorities were under the

ainful necessity of repelling force by force. The leArri-
cades erected in the streets del Conde, del Asalto, and
de la Union, which led to the Rambla, were carried and
destroyed, and their defenders driven from position to
position to the gates of the city. They then sought re-
fuge in the suburbs ; an,d at the departure of the mail,
on the 19th, they were surrounded by the troops. The
rebels suffered severely."

The following despatch is also published by the
C azette

" The Captain-General of Valencia writes, under date
21st, one o'clock p.m. Brigadier Planas defeated on the
19th the insurgents of Reuss and disarmed the National
Guard of the town. Tranquillity is completely restored
in the province of Tarragona. At .Cartbagena •the dis-
cipline and loyalty of the troops prevented a popular
movement. The Governor of the city, General Ping,
refused to obey the Government, but Col. Teran, who
commands the regiment of Valencia, agburned the go-
vernment of the place in the name of the Queen. At
Albacete tranquillity is reestablished, and the portion
of the national militia which effected the pronuncia-
mento is being disarmed. Nothing new occurred in
other districts sub3equently to my despatch of yes-
terday."

PORTUGAL.
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MORNING.
The Baganza, steamer, has arrived with Lisbon
letters of the 22d inst.
The country was perfectly tranquil, and no fears
were entertained of its imitating the comthotions in

Spain.
The following is a translation of the King of
Portugal's speech upon closing the Cortes at Lisbon
on the 19th inst. : _ _

" Worthy Peers and Gentlemen Deputies of the Por-
tuguese Nation,—At the moment of closing the session,
the last of the present Legislature, I have again come
to testify how much I appreciate being in the centre
of the national representatives in order to signify to
you my satisfaction at the zeal you have mani-
fested in the fulfilment of your important legislative
functions. The causes which gave rise to the change
of Ministry at the beginning of June are well known
to you. Convinced that increased facilities of corn-
' munication by means "of good roads and of railroads
is now as imperious a necessity as it was always of the
highest convenience, you did not hesitate to vote the sup-
plies which my Goiernment proposed for that object. I
thank you, and trust that my wishes and your own will
be fulfilled by the uninterrupted progress of public works,
upon the largest possible scale, in order that the country
may in the shortest possible period enjoy the immense
benefits resulting therefrom. The harvestthis year do not
promise to be better than the last. I hope, however, that
from the measures you have adopted to attenuate the evil,
and above all, by the favour of Divine Providence, we
may be enabled to pass the ordeal without seriously suf-
fering its terrible consequences. I deeply deplore that
the cholera merbus should have again afflicted the capital
and other parts of the kingdom. P, however, con-
tinues to diminish in gravity, which fortunately never
became very alarming, and every care has been, and still
is, taken to diminish its ravages by the prompt succour
of those requiring it. It is pleasing to me to announce
to you that the public tranquillity has been maintained in
all points of the kingdom.
" Worthy Peers and Gentlemen, Deputies of the Portu-
guese Nation,—l am fully assured that during the
interval of your Parliamentary labours you will still con-
tinue to render most valuable services, fortifying the
people in the spirit of conciliation and tolerance, and in
xospect and obedience to the law."
The Session closed on the 23d inst.

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, JULY 23.
A few days since (probably on Saturday, the
19th) the Austrian Government forwarded another
note tcl the Neapolitan Government. • The lan-
guage employed by the. Austrian 'CroveYtiment in
the note in question was " extremely urgent,", but
still the prevalent opinion, ill' high political_ circles,','
is, that little or no attention will be paid. by the
Naples Cabinet to the representations of Count
Buol. A strange report has been in circulation,
for some days past that the King of Naples enter-
tains some idea of abdicating in favour of his son,'
Prince Francis, who is now in his 21st year.
