THE RISING IN SPAIN.

(From the Times' Correspondent.)
MADRID, Sept. 26, Evening.
If I were to say that I, a perfect stranger to this
country, and no less inclined by nature than bound
by the duties of my office to the strictest impar-
tiality, am apparently the man in Madrid most
deeply concerned in the issue of the present politi-
cal movement, my assertion would be taken as a
paradox ; yet it would only convey the impression
produced upon my mind by the aspect of this city.
If you trust the evidence of your eyes and ears, you
will never imagine that such a change as the
substitution of one dynasty for anocher, of
one Government, good, bad, or indifferent, for
another having at least the charm of novelty,
is impending over the Peninsula. The Spaniards,
you would say, arc convinced that no ass-driver can
make ono and the same beast of burden carry two
loads. Not that the tall: about Prim and Serrano,
about Cheste and Calonge, is not general, loud, and
vehement. The drama has an interest
.for the pit
and the galleries ; but it never seems to strike the
spectators that they ought to count for something
in the action. " Open your mouth and shut your
eyes," is the motto, " and see what good the Queen
or her enemies will bring you." And yet the
Spaniards are a noble race, gifted with as much
physical and moral courage as any of their
neighbours. Bat faith in themselves and in their
leaders has been shaken by nearly a cen-
tury of hope deferred. Bad government, they
seem to think, is for them to be the rule ; a pronun-
ciamiento a passing and deceitful, but pleasurable
excitement. A struggle for mastery between the
Blacks and the Reds is only a tamer kind of bull-
fight, not by any means as exciting as the real
thing; certainly not an exhibition for which the
true national sport should be given up. There were
to be Toros to-morrow (Sunday), no matter how
dear the pan might be or threaten to become. The
Ring was to be opened, the police nothing loth, and
it is only by the unsettled state of the weather that
we are spared the disgusting spectacle of a popu-
lace, in rags and finery, gloating over the blood of

four•footed animals, while the blood of those who
would wish to rescue them from the most de-
grading tyranny is being spilt at a few leagues' dis-
tance from them.

By way of amends for real inaction, however,

the Madrid people indulge, as I said, in a prodigi-
ous amount of talk. As if they alone were unworthy
of the name of Spaniards, they fancy that the
people in all other parts of the Peninsula are up
and doing. They feed on the garbage of s tale,
absurd, impossible rumours. They describe their
native soil as everywhere breeding swarms of pa-

triotic combatants, but it never occurs to them
that they should go forth and join any of the bands
said to be scouring the land in every direction.
They tell you the names of battalions and regiments
falling off from the Royal standards and making
common cause with the insurgent ranks, but they
never feel disposed to try the temper of the soldiers of
their own garrison ; they never assume an attitude,
which, by compelling the Government to concentrate
their forces about the capital, might operate a
diversion in favour of the insurrection, pressed by
superior numbers in the provinces. Throughout the
day trains full of men and arms have been forwarded
by the Southern Railway line, with a view to dis-
engage Novaliches from the awkward position in
which he had rashly entangled himself in the south
of the Sierra Morena, and to force open that Pass
of Despenaperros which the brave mountaineers of
that inhospitable region were stoutly disputing in
his rear. No less than 31 special trains have gone
down to Andalusia within the week. As they
convey on an average a force of 560 men each,
it is :computed that no less than 17,360 men
have marched from Madrid alone, either with
Novaliches or after him. It is difficult to conceive
how Prim and Serrano can muster up sufficient
troops to withstand the onset of so overwhelming
an army. Yet the issue of the contest depends on
such resistance as Cordova or Seville may offer.
If the insurgents are driven to the seaports of
Cadiz and Malaga, their total dispersion and
escape on board the friendly men-of-war is only
a question of time. Circumscribed within the
limits of Andalusia, the struggle seems to me to
present but little chance of success for the insur-
gents, and it is disheartening to see that the appa-
rent impotence and certain inaction of the patriots
in Catalonia, Valencia, and other provinces allow
Concha to turn with all his combined efforts against
devoted Andalusia.

It is true that it is always on the cards that
NovaEchos' battalions may go over to Prim, but
the example of the savage resolution with which
the royal troops fought for their sovereign at San-
tander ought to be a damper on the sanguine
temperament of those who trust to the defection of
the soldier for the triumph of the citizen's cause ;
and if we may rely ou the correctness of the report

rife this evening that a gentleman well known in
Madrid, by name Vallin, has been shot at Baylen
by order of the cavalry colonel, Cevallos Escalera,
because he was " talking loudly in the hearing of
the colonel's soldiers," or probably, in other words,
because he endeavoured to shake the regiment's
fidelity,--we may have reason to believe that the
task of tampering with the troops is beset with such
dangers as few people will be ready to encounter.
It is added that the Colonel's deed met with the dis-
pleasure of his superiors, and that he is to be brought
before a court-martial to answer for his conduct ;
but even this ought to be taken as a symptom that
the Government has sufficient reason to rely on the
steadiness of the troops, and that its leniency is in-
fluenced rather by considerations of policy than of
humanity ; for few Spaniards of
.any party shrink
from bloodshed whenever any purpose of necessity,
or even of expediency, can be furthered by it. The
Liberal party here are furious at the report, and
swear that no quarter is to be grantel to the
Royalists ; and, if the contest is to be prolonged, it
is likely enough that the usual amount of shooting
and butchering will go on on both sides.
Among the thousand wild and idle reports that
are circulating this evening, there is one that has
created the greatest stir in men's minds. it is the
alleged assassination of Gonzalez Bravo by a bull-
fighter named Suarez, at Bayonne. Long before
this letter can reach you, the news, if at all true,
will have reached England from other sources.
The death of the late Prime Minister would,
of course, in no way affect the upshot of the pre-
sent struggle ; for, happen what may, Gonzalez
Bravo can never hope, I will not say again to
attain power, but even again to sec his foot in his
country, and be seems to have been so well aware of
it from the beginning that the bills " To be let"
were stuck up in the windows of his apartments in
Calle Lope de Vega the very day after he ran away;
but the exultation at the report of the deed, if true,
or even the fabrication of the rumour, if false, must
be taken as evidence of the deep execration in
which the man was held throughout Spain, and of
the sense of " poetical justice" with which his me-
mory is pursued even in the land of refuge from
which he fancied he could laugh his enemies to
scorn. Anything like the unpopularity of that
Minister ever since the atrocities committed by his
orders on St. Daniel's day, the 10th of April, 1865,
is not to be conceived, and nothing but the sheerest
infatuation could have prompted the Queen to trust
such a man with the reins of Government the
moment he ceased to be screened by the ascendancy
of the redoubted Narvaez.

SEPTEMBER 27.

I was willing to give the Concha Government
credit for sufficient wisdom to look upon honesty as
the best policy, but I perceive that I was guilty
of unpardonable credulity. Even to-day they
put forth claims to a reputation for veracity, but
I have the means to ascertain that the truth is nut
in them. It is said in Italy that you ought never
to be more on your guard against a Neapolitan
than when he tells you, " Non vi dico begin,"
and, in the same manner, a Spanish bulletin
should never be more mistrusted than when
it begins with a flourish as the Government's
desire to tell the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth. To-day, fur instance, the
bulletin pretends to know everything about Nova-
liches ; but it is certain that communication is not
completely re-established. It was expected that
Novaliches would give battle to-day, but most
assuredly there will be no battle, because Nova-
liches is pressing for more reinforcements. Gene-
ral Sorrano-Bedoya has left Malaga and brought
a considerable part of his forces to Cordova. It
will be long before Novaliches will dare to attack
that place, whose narrow streets would enable its
defenders to fight for the ground inch by inch.
Three hundred and sixty Spanish emigrants from
Portugal have entered the province of Badajoz.
There are bands astir in Asturias, Leon, Galicia,
Valencia, Logrono, Salamanca, Badajoz, Castellon
de la Plana, Calatayud, Ciudad Real, Albacete, &c.
The Government informs us that three men of
war had appeared before Carthagena, and sum-
moned the garrison to surrender. The first and
second summons were disregarded ; but since
then railway and telegraphic communication is
ante Tupted, and the Government know abso-
lutely nothing about the place. Bejar, the great
manufacturing 'place i❑ the ;Province of Sdla-
mauca, high in the Sierra de Gredos, has been
stoutly fighting for the whole week. It first re-
pulsed the attack of four columns, and t►he beaten
Royal troops have been ever sioca waiting for rein-
forcements at a league's distance from the place.
Even the official bulletin avows the difficulty of
sending troops into that rugged region. Alcoy, an-
other manufacturing town in the midst of the Ali-
cante mountains, also holds out with u ndaunted
determination. All this comes to me from sources
of information on which I implicitly rely. A part
of the victorious Royal troops from Santander have
arrived at Madrid, but General Calonge, who was
here yesterday, has gone back to Valladolid.
Great news for the insurgents are expected from
Corunna.
