MADRID, FEB. 8-:—:-The illiicellanea states,
thtit in the night of the sth one of its Editors
narrowly escaped assassination in the street of
Majaderitos> In that of Cosmo
citizen, whose name is not mentioned, received
two -stabs-from a poniard, and was killed On the
spot, imMediately after he had uttered the cry of
Live the Constitution..
• The famous Abuelo has-been at lengill'arrest-
ed.. He was taken on the-31st ult. at lleleehosa,
in- -the Province . -of. Toledo, with four others.
One only of his band has yet escaped the pursuit
of the National Militia.

A new conspiracy has just been discovered at
Madrid, which might have involved the capital in
the horrors'of a civil war. A hundred armed
men sc'ere to assemble at the Puertct de ilierio,
about a quarter of a league from Madrid, and
thence march to the capital and fire on the inha-
bitants. The Government had early intimation
of the plot, and a company'of troops, raised by
the famous banker Bertran de Lis, was immedi-
ately dispatched to a small house, which was the
rendezvoas of the conspirators, but, unfortu-
nately, the troops arrived too early, and found
only a few persons assembled. Sixteen of these
Criminals were surprised and taken to the City
prison, whither the Judges immediately-repaired
to take their examinations. From the particu-
lars which have transpired, it seems that they
have been supplied with money, but they know
not by whom, and that they were promised the
plunder of the richest houses in Madrid. They
have also given information of a depot of arms,
ammunition, Sze., belonging to the conspirators;
and it has likewise been discofered that several
fruitless attempts have been made to seduce the
soldiers of the infantry of the Royal Guard: A
later accOunt adds, that they have not yet been
able. to detect the persons who furnished the
money.

The. Archdeacon Vinuesa still persists in his
silence. lie -will make-no disclose es to the
Judges ; and in the conversations which he holds
with the, sentinels of the National Girard on duty
over him, he appears resigned to his fate----"
shall die," he says, " on the scaffold, where
many others haVe died before me, and still more,
will share a like death."

'RCN, FEB.. 12.—A letter received from Ma,
drid represents that .capital as - being still in a
very disturbed state on the lath inst. The Mu-
nicipality had. sent several deputations .to the
permaneut Deputation of the Cortes, the objects
of which were not known. The Cortes will re-
assemble on the lst of March, and the first mea-
sure to be taken into consideration by them will
be the suppression of the Body Guards. The
individuals of this corps are now under arrest.
The conspiracy for establishing a Republic in
Spain, discovered at Malaga, of which Medialdua
was the author and principal, assumes a more
serious character. Two individuals, supposed to
be accomplices of Medialdua, have been arrested
at Antequcra ; and it is imagined the conspira-
tors in this design are dispersed throughout all
the south of Spain.

The postscript of this letter speaks of an in-
surrection which had just broken out at Madrid,
in which one of the Ministers had lost his life.
