can the Government do with their verdict ? Has the
trial, so far, answered any one good purpose ? Has it
not done more, to stir up and bad feelings,
than years of repeal agitation could have effected?
Has it not gained for the Irish more sympathy than was
ever before expressed for their wrongs, by the people
of this country ?

Let Sir ROBERT PEEL ponder well and meditate
closely on his next step—a false move will be fatal to
his Government.

Madrid journals. of the 3d and 4th inst., have been
received, from which we learn that, on the 29th ult.,
an attempt at insurrection was made at Alcoz, which
was suppressed by the troops and the National Guards.
A collision ensued, when some persons were killed,
and thirty of -the insurgents captured. At Elcho,
Cocentanyo, Orihuela, and Muro, similar movements
had been repressed. The Governor of Murcia had
blockaded Alicant with the coast-guard boats. The
citadel of that place, which is strong, had been de-
livered into the hands of the insurgents by a lieu-
tenant of the garrison. The Government, however, are
determined to make an example, by shooting all those
captured, as appears from an order of the Minister of
War to General RONCALI, published in the Madrid
Gazette, directing him, in the name of the QUEEN, to
shoot the 30 insurgents taken prisoners at Alcoz. The
Minister requests him to forward to his department an
account of their execution for the information of her
MAJESTY, and enjoins him not "to allow himself to
be stopped by the fear of any acts of retaliation which
the insurgents of Alicant might threaten, for although
her MAJESTY should view with grief the victims that
the fury of the rebels might sacrifice, yet the absolute
necessity that the law and public vengeanee should
be a reality weighed still more in her Royal mind."

On Saturday, the French Government received
the following intelligence from Spain :

TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH.

" BAYONNE, FEB. B.—Carthagena followed on the 2d the
movement of Alicant.

" The Governor and some Chiefs were arrested by the fac-
tious. It is affirmed that the troops have pronounced for the
insurgents. This news has created the utmost enthusiasm
in Murcia in favour of the Government. A commission has
been appointed to second the authorities. The troops of the
province are assembling at Orihuela.
" The National Guard of Burgos were disarmed on the 2d
without difficulty." _ _

The events which have lately occurred in Spain
continue to occupy public attention at Paris, and
Queen CHRISTINA has had frequent interviews with
the leading men of the Government. On Wednesday
a long conference took place in the hotel where she
resides, at which SOULT and MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA
were present. On the next morning her MA-
JESTY had an interview with the KING at the
Tuileries. According to the latest accounts
she still resolved to set out for Madrid
on the 15th instant. One of the Opposition
papers states that reports of a change of Ministry
were prevalent in the Hall of the Chamber of Con-
ference on Thursday. It, was said that the GUIZOT
Cabinet would be modified, and that M. GUIZOT and
M. MARTIN would retire and be replaced by M.
PASSY and M. DUFAURE. M. GUIZOT would, it
was said, return to London as Ambassador, and M.
MARTIN (du Nord) would obtain the presidency of
one of the Chambers of the Court of Cassation. The
Siecle and Patriot publish the same reports, but they
are entitled to little credit.

On Saturday the funds continued firm. The Three
per Cents. closing at 81f. 95c. ; the Fives at 125 f.

Although the three principal favourites stand at the same
price, there was a Might difference in the degree of estima-
of
Alliaedrrya slight advantage over Sir Robert ; the
estima-
tion in which they were respectively held. The Prior clearly
1114 ad
Andrew, who, backed rather freely at
latter had several friends, and figures in a much more favour-
able position than he did a week ago. Cattonite was not in
anthdel
demand. Of the other favourites, Freedom alone made any
advance.

The betting just touchel upon the two leading favourites,
and, without affecting the Buck's position, served to prove
that Rattan stood in higher favour than he did this time
last week ; 5 to 4, however, was still offered between the
two. Leander at one time receded to 20 to 1, but his
party came out with several ponies and fifties, choked off
the layers, and reduced the offers to 16 to 1 ; such we have
quoted as his price at the close ; but we can Scarcely ven-
ture to affirm that it is exactly correct. 16 to 1
was taken about Orlando, and 1,000 to 45 would
not have been refused about Cockamaroo. 1,000 to 40
was laid agst Loadstone, 1,000 to 30 agst lonian, 2,000 to 50
agst the Vat colt, 1,000 to 20 agst Apprentice, the takers
willing to go on; 1,000 to 20 agst Mount Charles, 2,000 to
35 agst Bebington, 2,000 to 20 agst Zenobia, and 10 and 11
to 1 (in hundreds) agst Col. Peel's lot. Running Rein is
quite out of the betting.
