LATEST NEWS.

THE SPANISH INSURRECTION.

(From the Second Edition of the Morning Post.)
PARIS, THURSDAY, 9 A.M.

The Moniteur says :
" The last news from Barcelona announce that

the conflict there *as very keen, but that the
success of the Queen's troops may be considered
as secured. The fire lasted on the 18th from 5
in the evening till midnight ; on the 19th it was
resumed from the morning till p.m. ;on the
20th it lasted the whole day ; on the 21st, from
morning till 5 p.m.

" On this last day, the insurgents having been
driven from the streets of the Union, and from
the Rue Neuve of the Rambla, and from the Hos-

pital de la Junquera, their principal positions,
betook themselves to the country. They were
pursued thither by the cavalry, which sabred
them. Gerona and La Junquera are still in a

state of insurrection. Tranquillity prevails at
Figueras. The garrison is ready to fire on the
occurrence of the slightest movement.
"It is thought that the victory obtained at Bar-
celona will arrest the other movements of
Catalonia."

SPAIN•
DEPARTURE OF FRENCH TROOPS FOR
THE SPANISH FRONTIER.
BOULOGNE, July 23.—The division encamped at
Wimereux is under orders to leave to-day en route
for the Spanish frontier. It consists mainly of
Chasseurs. The movement is doubtless in conse-

quence of the threatening aspect of affairs in the
Peninsula. The camp huts, &c., are to be sold,
according to present arrangements. Marshal Bara-
guay d'Hilliers wishes to have them preserved,
thinking they may be useful next year for exercis-
ing the troops. The camp of Honvault will be dis-
persed, it is expected, in October.
The Semaphore de Marseille, of July 21, says :
It is announced that a corps of observation is about
to be formed on the Pyrenean frontier. A " cer-
tain number of regiments" have been ordered to
march towards the neighbouring departments. The
37th regiment of the line left this town on Satur-
day for Montpelier, where it will replace troops
that are going to the frontier.
[The above shows the importance of the move-
ment, and the insincerity of the statement of the
Constitutionnel, that a single brigade was all that

would be sent.]
The Sie•le of yesterday has this from a private
correspondent in London :
"We have received this instant the following
information, which comes to us from a source gene-
rally well informed.
" The English government yesterday received a
despatch from Mr. Otway, who, in Lord Howden's
absence, represents England at Madrid. This
despatch was very important, and according to
what is said to-night it left the impression that
Marshal O'Donnell's situation was less favourable

than had been supposed.
"In consequence of this despatch, orders were
sent by telegraph to Lord Howden, whatever
might be his state of health, to return instantly to
his post, passing by way of ,Saragossa ; and be was
informed that he should there receive despatches
from his government, as well as despatches from
Mr. Otway."
Prince Louis Lucien Bonaparte arrived at
Bayonne on Saturday, and after a few hours'
stay left for Spain. The civil and military autho-
rities of Irun being informed of his expected arri-
val, awaited him at the gates of the town in official
costume. The Prince, born on Jan. 4, 1813, is
son of Lucien, brother of Napoleon I.
Marshal Narvaez also alsd arrived on Saturday

at Bayonne, with the intention of offering his set:-
vices to the Queen of Spain. In place of going
forward, he has despatched an aide-dc-camp with a
letter to her Majesty, stating that he will await
her orders either to go forward to Madrid or to re-
turn to Paris.
" Marshal Narvaez," says the Assembles Na-
tionale, " has been appointed ambassador of
Spain at Paris, in the place of M. Olozaga. We
do not know if the Marshal will accept the high
functions conferred on him, but, should he do so,
we may be satisfied that the policy of the new
government will be entirely and exclusively con-
servative."
General Prim is now at Marseilles. It was
believed there that he intended to embark from

that port to return to Valencia, of which province
he was captain-general, but from the functions of
which post he has been relieved by the decree
which, as has been mentioned, appeared in the
Madrid Gazette of the 17th.

The Pays contains the following :—" The incur
rection of Aragon is confined to the chief town ( f
the province. It is said that the Government, at
the last council, decided that the most stringent
measures should be adopted to put down the revolt.
Orders were consequently given to that effect to
General Dulce, who has been appointed Captain-
General of Aragon in the room of General Falcon.
He is to march on Saragossa with 42,000 men, fur-
nished in part by the garrison of Madrid, and two
siege trains. He will take possession of the posi-
tions of Monte Terrero and the fort of Aljuferta,
commanding the town, and which are only de-
fended by a small force. He will then invest
the city, and summon the insurgents to sur-
render, and on their refusal ho will open a
fire from the forts. No doubt is entertained
at Madrid of the success of this plan. General
Falcon had in Saragossa a force of only 3,000
men and some battalions of militia. One of the
generals who was under his orders remained faith-
ful to the Queen, and retired into the country at
the head of 1,500 men. In presence of these facts,
the inhabitants of Saragossa, not being supported
from without, must submit. General Dulce, under
all circumstances, has orders not to come to any
engagement in the town, but to act with his artil-
lery. General Armero, Captain General of Valla-
dolid, has just published a fresh proclamation, the
severity of which is warranted by the state of anar-
chy which exists in that city. `Every act of in-
cendiarism,' he says, 6 wherever it may be commit-
ted, will be punished with death ; the persons
caught in, flagrante delicto will be executed the
moment their individuality shall have been proved,
and they will merely have a respite of three hours
allowed them to receive the consolations of re-
ligion. "
The Madrid papers of the 19th, duo this morn-
ing, have not reached us, but a private letter of
the same date says :--•"Espartero is still here, of
his own free will. The trial by court-martial of the
ex-Minister Lujan is a mere invention. Upwards
of 150 persons arrested at the Post-office with arms
in their hands have boon set at liberty ; those still
in custody are common offenders. The official ac-
count of the losses of the troops is as follows :
killed, 6 officers and 32 privates ; wounded, 19
officers and 202 privates; missing, 2 privates. There
were six horses killed and 16 wounded. The loss
of the National Guard is not exactly known. The
last accounts from Aragon would appear to be
rather unfavourable, as largo forces have been di-
rected from every quarter against that province.
From Saragossa we learn that Gen. Falcon has seen
part of the troops under his command desert from
him. Murcia has declared against the Govern-
ment, but that province inspires but little uneasi-
ness. There are still great changes being made
among the Government functionaries. The
policy of the present Government may be stated
as follows :-1. No bloodshed for mere political
punishment. Capital punishment to be reserved
for common crimes committed under the cloak of
political opinions. 2. Conciliation and toleration.
3. Moderate Progressists not to be excluded from
public functions. 4. The constitution to be pub-
lished. 5. The Constituent Cortes to be dissolved,
and ordinary Cortes convoked. 6. The National
Guard to be re-organised on a reduced scale. 7.
Political prosecutions brought before the Cortes
against previous governments and certain persons
connected with them to be put a stop to. S.
