regiment placed sentinels to prevent any apprpach to the

voured to cause the barracks to be evacuated, but without
being able to succeed. The Government was apprehensive,
for a moment, that other troops of the line would make
common cause with the rebels ; but happily these appre-
hensions were not realized. The capital was extremely
agitated during the whole of the 18th, and it is asserted
that the Queen was forced to offer a full and entire am-
nesty, on condition that the rebellious troops would submit.
When the courier left, on the 19th, the city was calm, but
great uncertainty prevailed upon the day just beginning:"
The following dispatch, dated Madrid, the 19th instant,
was received yesterday, by telegraph, from Bayonne ;
" Yesterday, the tranquillity of Madrid was seriously dis-
turbed. A part of the 2d regiment of Light Infantry re-
volted, with a view to establish a more Liberal system..
After a very warm resistance in the Hotel of Posts, where
they entrenched themselves, the insurgents made their sub-
mission, and quitted * * * (Interrupted by nightfall.)"
The following is the report of the Minister of War to
the-Captain-General of Arragon, upon the events of the
18th of January :
" In the afternoon of this day the Sub-Lieutenant, Don
Jose Cadero, of the 2d regiment of light infantry of the vo-
lunteers of Arragon, who filled the functions of Adjutant,
succeeded in seducing and persuading to leave their bar-
racks, by means of a stratagem, and pretending to being or-
dered on service, a portion of the soldiers belonging to the
said corps, as well as a sergeant and an officer ; and the
whole body having proceeded to the Puerta del Sol, suds
denly obtained possession of the guard of that post, and de-
clared themselves to be in open rebellion. The excellent
Captain-General of the army, Don Jose Canterac, animated
by his zeal and his patriotism, presented himself immediately
before these deluded men, in order to induce them to return
to their duty ; but he fell a victim to his devotedness and
his fidelity, having been assassinated in a cowardly manner
during the tumult, whilst the deluded soldiers were defend-
ing themselves, and profaning the expressions which are the
most dear to all Spaniards.
" The Government having been informed of this dis-
astrous and scandalous event, immediately adopted the
most energetic measures for causing its authority to be re-
spected, and for preventing similar disturbances, should they
succeed in attaining the ends their authors contemplated.
" The garrison, including some companies of the revolted
regiment, and the Urban Militia, assembled with almost
incredible promptitude ; and, after having occupies? fit,
.. ";in, threw them-
selveS upon the rebels with .
posts which had been pointed out to fl.
at enthusiasm and that bra.
very by which they are characterised t at the isame time
the fire of the artillery, which was directed with vigour
from the Calla Mayor, mowed down the rebels, who threw
themselves, in the midst of the utmost disorder, into the
of the Post-office, where, profiting by the advantage
offered by that building, they endeavoured to defend
themselves ; but, finding themselves surrounded, and
seeing the inutility of their efforts, and the enormity of
their crime, they implored the clemency of her Majesty.
the Queen Regent, protesting that they had been seduced
from their duty. They declared that their sole intention
was to defend her Majesty and Estatuto Real ; and
they solicited the favour to be allowed to proceed to the
army of the north, in order that they might expiate
so serious an error, by combating for the cause of legiti-
macy, until the very last drop of their blood should be
spilled. Her Majesty, whose love for the Spaniards is well
known, exercised her clemency towards those deluded men ;
and this very evening they left, with the rest of the regi-
ment, for the village of Alcovendos, in order to carry into
execution the only means they had left to recover the ho-
nour they had lost in so unworthy a manner ; her Majesty
reserving to herself the right to cause the authors and prin-
cipal instigators of the revolt to be punished, in order to
satisfy public vengeance, and to destroy every hope on the
part of those who might be tempted to renew similar crimi-
nal attempts. The inhabitants of Madrid remained per-
fectly tranquil, and did not take any part in this criminal
revolt, the theatre of which was confined to the Puerta del
Sol.

" The Government has the satisfaction to announce to
you, that tranquillity is perfectly established,- and that ever
watchful and firm in preserving the sacred deposit of
public order which has been confided to it, it will do nothing
by which its dignity might be compromised ; or, whereby
the inviolable rights of Isabella 11., and our laws as esta-
blished by the Estatuto Real might be endangered.

" The Captain-General of Arragon has received from
Peralta, under the date of the 18th of January, a report, from
which it results that our troops have had an engagement
with the rebels between Mendoza and Asarta. The details
are not known, but the Queen's troops were victorious."
PARIS, JAN. 27.—The journals of the South do not yet
contain accounts of the events at Madrid, and the great
quantity of snow that has fallen lately, suspended in some
measure the military operations in the Biscayan province.
There was, however, a vague report of an action near
Gotella, and the Carlists continued their attack of Elisondo.
There was also a report of an action at Orosco, in Biscay.
The accounts from Pampeluna, of the 18th, confirm the
recovery of Mina. He waited for the arrival of reinforce-
ments from Madrid, and for rather milder weather to re-
sume his military operations. This, at least, results from
the journals of Bayonne and Bordeaux, but we must now
see what effc,-.A will be produced by the events at Madrid.
General Dwernicki, in the name of the Polish rehires
in France, has just addressed a letter to the Chamber of
Deputies, protesting against any Claims that may be made
by the illegitimate and illegal Government which now op-
presses Poland, and disputing its rights to make any claims,
because in every case this right cannot be exercised except
by a legitimated regular power of Poland, free, entire, re-
generated and reinstated in its imperishable rights, a power
emanating from the national will expressed by its repre-
sentatives legally appointed,—Afessager, Jan. 27.

CHAMBET OF DEPUTIES.—.SITUING Of JAN. 26.
.ne President announced that the order of the day was
the explanation demanded by M. Isambert, on the subject
of the Russian claim.
M. Abraham Dubois, after demanding to be heard on the
order of the day, said that M. Isambert had already ques-
tioned Ministers, by whom he had been answered. He
(M. Dubois) conceived that the Chamber was not justified
in obtruding itself as a party to the diplomatic negociations
already commenced, and he, therefore, proposed that no
further explanations should now be demanded,
The President replied, that as the Minister for Foreign
Affairs had professed his readiness to enter into explana-
tions, the order of the day ought not to be changed.
Here a scene of the greatest confusion and tumult en-
sued. M. Isambert ascended the Tribune, but in vain en-
deavoured to obtain a hearing. Several Deputies of the
Centre loudly exclaimed "To the vote." The President
insisted that the Deputies opposed to the proposition of
M. Dubois should be heard. At length, when silence was
partialle
'restored,
Isambert contended that the question now related
Inot to fresh but to past negociations, and that, conse-
I quently, he had a right to address questions to a Minister,
especially as the latter had already answered, and as the
Chamber had consented to that course.
M. Viennet supported the proposition of M. Dubois.
The President said that he at least would defend the
rights of the Chamber, which he considered entitled him to
demand the explanations noted in the order of the day.
The Chamber might before have refused its sanction to the
course adopted by M. Isambert, but as its permission had
been granted unanimously, he (the President) would main-
tain the right of discussion.—(Violent murmurs from the
centres.)
The Minister for Foreign Affairs repeated that Ministers
were ready to enter into the explanations demanded.
After some further discussion, the Chamber decided that
the explanations should be entered into, and the President
declared that M. Isambert was in possession of the tribune.
M. Isambert commenced with observations relative to
the occupation of Poland by the French troops, between
the years 1806 and 1812 ; and, after citing the text of the
Convention on which the present claim of Russia was
grounded, maintained that the treaty of 1818, signed by
Prince Pozzo di Borgo as Minister Plenipotentiary of the
Emperor of Russia, King of Poland, liberated France in the
rrr%sl. r':`°;.tive manner from all claims. In proof of this as-
sertion, he would appeal to the correspondence of M. de
Richelieu, and one of the Emperor Alexander's Ministers,
from which it would be distinctly seen that, in 1816, France
had already paid 200 millions. In that correspondence
also might be read the following words of the Russian Em-
peror's Minister :—" Had the negotiation regarded only his
Polish subjects, his Imperial Majesty would, without hesi-
tation, have abandoned all negotiation ; hut, as other na-
tions are interested, a conference has be en demanded in
which the respective interests may be debat ed." The Hon.
Deputy, after saying that the production of the original dis-
patch would establish the correctness of his citation, then
proceeded to read to the Chamber the pre an rble of the
transaction of 1818, by the terms of which his contended
that the foreign powers had liberated France fro, al all claims.
He also remarked that the 4th article of the Tr eat) of Aix-
la-Chapelle commences with the words "all act
punts having
been settled between France and the foreigr,k Powell the
'

ys fitx,heedira.itu,".d&ic;il He conceived that the terms of these
merely
mrveeilntions were precise, and the Chamber should consider

ciPl thistht asie,tt that litid stiptilated only. or
her bereaitary states. Prussia might have set op a
claim, and these two powers might thus revive the claims of
all their other States. With reference to the secret Con-
vention of 18161 the Hont Deputy maintained that the
secret articles of a treaty. and especially of a former treaty,
could. neither ,annibilate n9r modify articles which had
be6HOAI ht all EiirBo6! aid heatik of the
different nations. He also quoted the opinion of the Council
of State in 1818, declaring France wholly liberated from the
claims of foreign powers. After referring to the present
situatieh of Poland; he bbserirtd; that if Russia made a
claim in her own name, the 'treaty Of 1818 might be brought
forward in proof that France owes nothing. But if the
claim were made in behalf of Poland, France might deny
the right of Russia to put forward such a demand, km=
much as the 'add. had Mt tr4atfel Ot 1815
with regard to Poland. There was, however, one debt
which France owed to Poland—her glorious companion in
arms—but it was a debt of blood, which could only be paid
on the field of battle. To the payment of that obligation
the nation would consent.—( Hear, bear.) Let Ministers
demand from the Chamber the means of discharging it, and
they should be granted ; but the Chamber would never
vote money only for the benefit of Poland's oppressor.—
(Cries of " Bravo !") The Hon. Deputy complained that
the Government had ratified another treaty, without sub-
mitting it to the Chambers—a treaty which exposed Prance
to a war with one of her hitherto most faithful allies. He
then returned to the subject of the Polish claims, and
trusted that regenerated Franed Was reserved for a brighter
destiny, than to be made the sport of foreign diplomacy.
In conclusion, he would ask if the Ministers of the King
could now call themselves the Ministers of the Itevoldinti
of 1830 ?—( Hear, hear, from the left, and applause from
the public galleries.)
The Minister for Foreign Affairs stated, that notwith-
standing the assertion that all claims fiat Mitdd Witbiti tile
period stipulated by the treaty of 1818 were null and void,
an additional Article had been annexed to the treaty of the
30th of May, 1814, placing the Duchy of Warsaw in an ex-
ceptional position. It had been pretended that the Con-
vention of 1810 hat! tun been ratified, but this teal ail
error, as the proces-verbal of the exchange of ratifications
was deposited in the Archives of the Administration of Fo-
reign Affairs. Article 18 of the Treaty of 1814 was not
applicable to the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, which had been
excepted by the addifftmal article already spoken of, simply
because the Poles had not marched into Paris with the con-
querors t they had been conquered with Prance.—(den-
sation.) The sth article of the Convention even prescribed
certain forms to be observed in making the claims, such,
for instance, as the naming of Commissionere... He would
now also produce a document of the Bth of July, 1818, in
M. de Richelieu signed important instructions for the
French Cetnrei”ioner,,proving hl Own belief in the excep-
tions Thad° in favour of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw.
Here several Deputies demanded that the document should
be reed, but that Mite Was declined by the Minister, who
observed in continuation, that after the Convention of 1818
a• negotiation had been opened, and had subsequently, for
different reasons, been suspended i trstibecause the French
Commissioners did not arrive in suffieient time at Warsaw;
and next, beeallge the necessary documents were wanting
there. From 1819 to 1822 M. Hedouville, the French
Commissioner, resided at Warsaw, where claims were pre-
sented to him. An article inserted in the ilionitcrir of the
I,9th of August, 1818, proved that the Government by no
means looked upon the Convention of 1818 as applicable to
the claims of the Duchy of Warsaw.
M. Isambert here remarked that the article in question
referred only to the claims of French citizens,,
The Minister lhr continuation, said
dirt after a discussion which had arisen between the French.
and Russian CommisSioners, and which had been settled in
1829, the negotiation was on the point of being resumed
in 1830. Meanwhile some French citizens interested in
the question, petitioned the Chamber, which had referred
them to the Minister, thereby pronouncing, by implication,
the same opinion on this point as the present Ministry. In
Poland, also, claims had been addressed to the Emperor.
It bad been agreed, at the commencement of 1830, that
Polish Commissioners should visit Paris. From the series
of facts, it resulted that the Duchy of Warsaw, and that
Duchy alone, had claims upon France. The decrees of
the Council of State had been spoken of ; its decision was
correct, all claims except that of the Duchy of Warsaw
being included in the convention of 1818. The Emperor
Alexander's opinion had also been quoted ; but he had
never abandoned the claim of the Duchy of Warsaw. In
conclusion, the greatest confidence might be placed in the
opinion of Government, that the Chamber might banish all
uneasiness as to the result of the negotiation that had been
commenced.

M. Odilon Barrot said that a negotiation had been
opened with Russia, and proclaimed in the Moniteur, not-
withstanding the existence of an article of a convention
which formally liberated France from all claims of a date
prior to 1818. It was right that government should be
aware that the attention of the Chamber was awakened td
its measures. France did not wish to hear it repeated, as
in the case of the American Treaty, that payment must be
made, or that war must be declared—(Hear, hear.) Go-
vernment persisted in thinking that the negotiation should
be continued, on the ground that the claims of the Duke
of Warsaw had been reserved by an article of the Treaty,
adding, that the result would impose no fresh burdens on the
country. These were melancholy arguments, which were
disproved by facts. Commissioners of liquidation had been
mentioned, secret notes and correspondence of which the
Chamber had no knowledge—but how could these modify
existing treaties ? The Convention of 1818 had a cha-
racter which it was impossible to avoid recognising, both
on account of the publicity which it had obtained, and also
on account of its signatures. In 1818 there had been an
Ambassador representing the Grand Duchy of Warsaw.
In the same year Prince Pozzo di Borgo engaged Russia
and Poland in this important transaction ; and, when M.
de Richelieu demanded a last sacrifice from the Chamber of
Deputies, he stated that all was definitely arranged. His
words were consigned in the Illonitcur—( Hear, hear.) It
had been alleged that Poland had not fought against France.
True but such was also the case with regard to other
powers. For instance, Saxony, Denmark ; and yet all had
been included in the treaty, The Hon. Deputy terminated
by saying that the negotiation, if continued, must be so on
the responsibility of Government.—( Hear, hear.)
The Minister of the Interior wished to place the question
in its real point of view. It was not because Poland had
not fought against France, that she was placed in an excep-
tional situation. In 1814 and 1815 various sApulations
had been made. The claims of States upon each other
were pronounced null and void, but those of individuals
were declared valid. M. de Richelieu, in demanding from
the Chambers twenty-four millions of rentes to pay all the
contributions, added that -the rights of individuals were re-
served. With regard to Poland, a series of transactions
had taken place between the Duchy of Warsaw and
France, from the year 1808 to 1814. Poland bad received
from Napoleon money, ammunition, and troops, and given
in return provisions to the French army of occupation. An
evident proof that Poland had been considered an exception
was, that in the treaty of 1814, an additional article had
been inserted in her favour, for the appointment of a special
commission charged to regulate the mutual claims existing
between Poland and France. In 1815, when France had
again to contend with a victorious enemy, the same system
had been adopted by the 9th article of the treaty of that
year. The same treaty contained an additional article,
which also placed Poland in an exceptional position. This
last additional article was not ratified by Russia, but it was
afterwards replaced by the Convention of 1816. The Con-
vention of 1816 was a public treaty ; for a treaty was not
secret, merely because it had not been printed and pub-
lished. During fifteen years the treaty bad given rise to no
difficulties—to no objections from the two contracting par-
ties. After some commentaries on certain expressions con-
tained in the articles of the treaty, the Minister affirmed
that after the final liquidation, the balance would be in
favour of, rather than against France.
General Demarcay—Then I recommend you to abandon
your balance.—(A laugh.)
The Minister of the Interior next proceeded to assert
that though Poland was annexed to Russia at the period of
the Convention of 1818, she had not lost her right of
putting forward her claims against France, as neither the
debts due from states to states, nor those due from indi-
viduals to individuals, were the objects of that Convention,
but simply the claims which the coalesced states had raised
against France. He would only observe, that petitions on
the subject of the Polish debt had been addressed to the
Chamber, which had forwarded them to Ministers. The
latter had addressed themselves to Russia, and it was there-
fore natural that Russia should address herself to the
French Government. He would conclude by again ex-
pressing his participation in the opinion of the Cabinet, that
the liquidation of the claims would prove by no means dis-
advantageous to France.
Odillon Barrot protested against the inference sought
to be drawn from the presentation of petitions. It was by
no means to be concluded from that circumstance, that
France was the creditor or the debtor of any power. He
had always considered it an established principle that a se-
cret act could not modify a public act. Consequently, the
o n
n tion of 1816 must fall before that of 1818. The
convention
had ably pleaded the cause .of Russia, but were it
to be said to the most insignificant Juge de Paix in France
the country, in 1815, entered
"into engagements from
which, in 1818, she was liberated —how would he decide
upon the case
The Minister of the Interior denied that he had pleaded

the cause of Russia, and retorted that charge Upon the Op.
position, who had asserted that the system of negociotion
might lead to the most extravagant demands on the part of
Poland. If the dangers and difficulties of the negotiation
were increased, that result might be attributed solely to the
Opposition,
M. Odillrin Barrot thought it but natural that the Cham-
ber should evince anxiety when the national dignity and the
public treasury were threatened. In his opinion, Ministers
Aught to take advantage of the discussion, and to consider
it.as a ni6etisB likvl7 to furnish them with weapons against
foreign claims.
T,he President—Is the Chamber of opinion that the dis-
cussion shudid lie elbged? (Cries of " Yes, yes," from all

sides.)
The President—The discussion is closed. As there is
nothing to put to the vote, the Chamber passes to the or-
ddr of tl-a day. Every body will think about it.—Ad-
journed at six o'clock.
