The insurrection, so far from being nearly pu
down, as the Madrid journals have for several days
been pretending, is evidently spreading.
The Madrid journals of the 261 h have arrived in
due course.
The Broca announces that the Government had
determined to remit all punishments incurred for
offences against the laws which regulate the press,
and to order the cessation of all prosecutions com-
menced. The Queen celebrated on the 24th the
anniversary of Qaeen Christina's birthday. The
royal household was dressed out on the occasion in
its state uniforms and liveries.
The Gazette of the 25th gives some details of the
proceedings at various towns which had been pre-
viously only slightly mentioned.
At Gsanaula tho national guard, having obtained
permission to assemble, in presenco of the co-opera-
tion which the municipality promise ..I to the captain-
general, assumed a hostile attitude. The troops
which were directed on the points occupied by the
National Guard, showed so little decision that the
Captain-General was compelled to consent to an
armistice of six days. It was on the 19th that the
troops and the National Guard quitted their re-
spective positions, but the latter placed themselves
in communication with the neighbouring localities;
and General Blanco sent by the Government to
replace the Captain-General, who had shown great
weakness, was made prisoner by the Brothers
Merino, on coming to his post. The officer in
command at Granada, writing under date of the
22d, states that several officers of different ranks,
who had quitted their revolted regiments in various
localities, had arrived there.
Tiae second battalion of the regiment of Aragon,
the greater part of the Artillery, and a detachment
of the National Guard have shut themselves up in
the Castle of Gibralfaro. The revolutionary junta
refused to allow any provisions to enter the
castle, but the troops therein threatened to bom-
bard the city if such a measure were persisted
in. This energetic language had the desired re-
sult, and the interdiction was removed.
At Malaga, the troops joined the national guard
under the command of the civil governor. The
superior officers from the rank of chef-de-battalion
all retired.
At Cadiz there were some attempts at disturb-
ance, but they were all repressed.
Jaen and Almeria, it is said, continue their re-
sistance to the new ministry.
Accounts from Barcelona of the 26th, received
by sea at Marseilles, announce that the city had
nearly resumed its ordinary aspect. Most of the
workmen of the manufactories had returned to
their work. A few had followed the insurgents,
and were beating about the country, their head-
quarters being in the mountains around Barcelona.
It was reported in the last-named city that Sara-
gossa, having received from various sides detach-
ments of the different corps which had rebelled,
formed a strong centre of resistance.
A letter in the Presse says :—" Two days ago
the Queen, obeying the suggestions of those by
whom she is surrounded, frankly demanded from
Marshal O'Donnell the return of her mother. The
minister only replied by a respectful siler.ce."
The Madrid correspondent of the Independance
Beige, in a letter dated July 21, says that he is
positively informed it is the intention of the go-
vernment to regard the Constituent Cortes as de-
funct, and officially to proclaim their dissolution as
soon as order shall have been re-established.
The government will not think of convening a new
Constituent Assembly to deliberate upon the future
constitution of the country, but will impose upon
it either the constitution of 1837 or the constitu-
tion of 1845 ; but which of these has not yet
been determined. If the constitution of 1837
be adopted, a modification of it will be made
by changing the elective character of the &-
nate ; if the constitution of 1845 be preferred, an
article will be added to it securing the immunity
of certain individuals, with a provision for com-
pletely extinguishing the liberty of the press.
It is said by the Paris correspondent of the Inde-
' pcndance that Narvaez, on his way back to Paris,
travelled in the same railway carriage with O]ozaga,
the Spanish Ambassador, and that they were en-
gaged in earnest conversation all the way. Lord
Howden, he says, is still at Paris.

AUSTRIA.
A letter from Vienna of the 26th, in the Consti-
-tionnel, says :—" After two days' heat the bad
Weather has recommenced ; on the 15th there was
fall of snow at Klauienbourg (Transylvania). M.
tie Danuraoff has arrived from St. Petersburg with
despatches from M. de Balabine, relative to the
question of the Principalities. It is said that
Russia no longer insists on the union of those two
' provinces, but wishes to conform to the wishes of
the country and to public opinion. M. de Koller
has set off for the Baths of Bohemia, a fact which
indicates that the commission of re-organisation is
on the point of assembling."
A letter from Vienna of the 25th, in the Bourse
Gazette of Berlin, says :—" Baron de Hubner, the
Austrian ambassador at Paris, has given the most
satisfactory assurances as to the intentions of the
French Government relative to Spanish affairs.
The Baron is about to proceed to Naples via Trieste
and the lonian islands."
" A fact which will give some idea of the splen-
dour with which Prince Pl.nl Til.terhazy t • Lp-
pear at Moscow is," says the Cologa,e Gazette,
1" that each of the six horses, reserved exclusively
for his personal us), is valued at from 8,000 to
10,000 florins (the florin is worth something over
2fr.) The cloth of his favourite horse is a tiger's
