MADRID, OCT. 22.

The Committee of the Procuradores, and that of the
Proceres, are to meet., and form the mixed committee (a
conference you would call it), to settle the dispute pending
between the two estamentos, concerning the Guebhard
Loan, and other matters relative to the money bills. That
of the Procuradores consists of Messrs.' Florez Estrada,
M. de Montevirgen, Carillo de Albornoz, Arguelles, and
Galliano. Three of them are decided oppositionists, Ar-
guelles having lately shown himself one : Carillo, an officer
of engineers, is a Ministerialist indeed, but a man of no
influence amongst his colleagues. These have yesterday
chosen M. Florez Estrada for their Chairman, and Monte-
virgen for Secretary. As these two gentlemen headed the
Opposition in the late debates, ere Arguelles or Galiano
had taken their seats, you will see how few hopes there are
of an agreement between the houses, through the instru-
mentality of the mixed committee. It is true the Commit-
tees can only act ad referendum, the final decision resting
with the Chambers. Nevertheless, this inspires little hope
of an amicable adjustment. The Guebhard Loan has but
slight chances of resurrection.
The fierce attack of Monday in the Procuradores has
been very imperfectly reported. Arguelles spoke suaviter
in mode, but extremely fortiter in re, nay, violently. He
said, that had he known the existence of such reglamento
or rules, as those prevailing in the Chamber, he would not
have taken his seat, from the impossibility of a representa-
tive body going on under such conditions. Though he dis-
claimed the idea of systematic opposition on his part, still
he told the Minister, that he would act upon this and other
occasions up to the maxim amicus Plato sed magis arnica
veritas. This declaration astounded and hurt Martinez de
la Rosa, who rose immediately to reply, and did so with
some asperity. Galiano then got up in defence of Ar-
guelles, and was also more than usually vehement. Toreno
took up the cause of his friend and colleague, answering.
Galiano's speech with less passion than is his wont, not-
withstanding the provocation. This sparring enlivened the
debate of the 21st. To-day (the 22d) the Procuradores
have not met.

The Ministry begins to feel that it is weak, and would
fain strengthen itself by new alliances. To part with Mo-
coso is no sacrifice : indeed, lately he has abstained from
appearing in the Estamento, notwithstanding the import-
ance of the debates. I know that the seals of the Home
Department haVe been offered to M. Alvarez Guerra, a
Procer, who filled the same office in 1813 and 1814 under
the first Cortes ; but he has refused, his polities being more
liberal than those of our present rulers: There is talk of
still greater changes. M. Martinez is evidently in a bad
state of health, his liver, it is said, being affected. His re-
signation, therefore, is looked to as probable.- Then it is
said General Alava will take the seals of the Foreign De-
partment,' the Home Department being given to M. de
Mirafiores, whilst Toreno would keep the Finances, and be
'F'relidene or Premier. All this, in my opinion, is absurd.
qt.cOuld not be, nor, were it attempted, could it stand.
"Alava. is the worthiest of men ; but he would not face the
storms in the Procuradores ; and Mirafiores would prove a
colleague highly unfit for the present Ministers.
Yet some change of measures must and will take place.
Since the appearance of Arguelles and Galiano, the Cham-
ber has taken a new aspect ; and the press, though shackled,
points to it with exultation. I have seen a letter from
Mina—not written, indeed, but signed by him, saying he
will soon enter Spain, and assume the command It is said
that Merino has been able to enter some open towns, such.
as Castile, and carry away arms.

(FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.)
Four hours after the explosion in the Proceres against
Burgos, this gentleman was seen in the Prado, in a brilliant
equipage, braving the regards of the public. It is said that
both he and Ballasteros have got ready their passports for
foreign countries. M. Burgos, however, must wait for the
accusatory pamphlet now drawing up against him, and
about to be published, by M. Galiano.

M. Burgos was rather severely attacked in a late article
in the ReVista Espanola. The same paper has since pub-
lished the following letter from the ex-minister :
" To the Editors of the Revista.

" GENTLEMEN,—After having read the article inserted
in your journal of to-day, I think it my duty to declare that
the violent agitation that was produced by my presence in
the Chamber to-day ought not to be attributed to me. I
had a right to attend in that place, and no person could de-
prive me of it without violence. -
" It is not correct to state that I had intended to yield
to the prudent warning that was given me not to -attend
the sittings, nor that I had considered this advice as being
prudent. The fact is, that on the evening of the 17th I
declared in explicit terms that in my position I could not
abstain from attending ; and "I added that if any scandal
should result from my presence, it must fall upon the au-
thors of it. On the morning of the 18th, owing to the
state of agitation in which I was, and at which no person
could be surprised, since I was violently attacked through
the medium of the press, I said that this circumstance
would prevent me from again entering the Chamber. But,
two hours afterwards, the indio-nation with which I was ani-
mated having give-inn-strength, I went to the Chamber of
Proceres at half-past eleven.

" That Chaml;er would not, probably, have adopted its
baleful resolution, if it had taken time to reflect upon its
consequences. These consequences may be terrible, and
when once -the fatal principle shall be sanctioned that I
ought to justify myself legally against an illegal accusation,
and give private satisfaction to each of those persons by
whom I am calumniated, without such satisfaction being
considered as having been afforded by the explanations
given in a printed memorial, the correctness of which no
one can disprove, there will not be a single Procer nor a
single Procurador who can feel that he is solidly seated on
his bench. The revolution will go through all its phases,
and each man's hour will be at hand.

I have protested against this principle hnd against
these consequences in the memorials ti.',at I have just ad-
dressed to the Governments anil to the Chamber, not only
because they apply to my own case, for I am quite disposed
to make a sacrifice of myself, if, thereby, those passions
which are, unhappily, in a violent state of exasperation,
could be calmed,

I am aware that the spirit of party will seek for other
pretexts to attack me, after having solemnly published
that to say that I ever meddled in any loan whatever is an
abominable falsehood, one of those iniquitous impostures
which those who promulgate them do not believe. I had
nothing more to do with Guebhard's Loan than to carry
into execution, by superior orders, some collateral mea-
sures, or to pay the money into the treasury. When it
shall 'have been made evident that the accusation made
against me (I ought rather to say the imputation, because
accusations are made before the tribunals, and my enemies
would not dare to bring forward such) is not only false,
but also absurd and shameful, recourse will be had to some
other falsehood ; for parties, are not discouraged by a single
defeat. In protesting against the unanimity of the Cham-
ber, my object has not been to defend my cause, but the
principles of justice, of public convenience, and respect
for the laws. This is the point of view in which those who
wish to enlighten their fellow-citizens ought to look at the
question. The injustice that has been committed towards
me may be a triumph for my enemies, but, under existing
circumstances, this violence is a misfortune for all parties--
a breach opened in the very centre of our institutions—A
public calamity ; and who knows wheth©r it may "...ot be-
come a calamity for all Europe ? The comre''...ien; that may
result from this flagrant violation
ples of our political organizatir., conservative princi-
-.1 may cross the Pyrenees !
" I did not expect
',Je obliged to have recourse to the
journals. I wA.: waiting
with calm, and without remorse,
for the.`/_.-eCision of the supreme authority ; for it is not a
e.nme to be the victim of an injustice ; on the contrary, it is
glorious to endure a violent act. But you have provoked
me, gentlemen, by advancing in your journal of to-day facts
and principles which it is my duty to rectify, and which you
would, perhaps, not defend, if you were better informed, or
if in these difficult moments you could follow the generous
inspirations of your conscience. I beg of you to insert, in
your journal of to-morrow,-this answer, which will be my
last. Your affectionate servant,
(Signed) " XAVIER DE BURGOS."
The Revista makes the following reflections upon the
above letter :

" The affair of M. Burgos may be looked upon both in a
penonal and a political point of view. We abstain from
speaking upon the former, which must be abandoned to the
competent authority. As to the latter we cannot help de-
ploring the fatal precipitation with which the Chamber pro-
ceeded to the exclusion of M. Burgos, who had an un-
doubted right to attend the sitting. We contemplate with
grief the conflict which may ensue from this exclusion,
without, however, adopting the opinion of M. Burgos as to
the consequences of this imprudent act :---they will not ex-
tend beyond the Pyrenees ; and if ever our tranquillity
should be disturbed by violent commotions, they must not
be attributed to the expulsion of M. Burgos from the
Chamber of Proceres."

The Captain-General of Catalonia has addressed a peti-
tion to the Queen Regent, praying her to adopt energetic
measures for the purpose of preventing the journalists of
that province from inserting articles hostile to religion and
order.

A ...despatch has been received by the Minister at War
from the Captain-General of Old Castile, announcing the
defeat of the insurgents, commanded by Barnabi and
Alonzo, near to Mata Combo, by the movable column of
Palenia. The rebels were forced to retire into Biscay ;
they left a good many arms and some prisoners in the hands
of the royal troops.

The Queen Regent, in consequence of the refusal of the
PtincP gf talecaz atnd the Princess of Beira to recognise the
legitimate Government of her august daughter, Queen
Donna Isabella II
