MADRID, Nov. 28.—The publication of an extra-
ordinary supplement to the Madrid Gazette to-day at
noon, giving a detailed account of proceedings in
Barcelona down to the 24th instant, has completely
removed from the public mind any doubts which
might have still been entertained of the winding up
of the insurrectionary drama in that city. The in-
telligence conveyed through the same channel has
also dissipated the fear of disturbances spreading in
the rest of the province of Catalopi4. The official
documents containing this news are highly satisfac-
tory. They consist, as they appear in the supplement
of the Gazette, of a narrative extracted from the com-
munications of General Van Halen to the Minister of
War, General Rodil, now with the Regent at , Sara-
gossa; and of the notes, dispatches, and verbal nego-
tiations which have passed between General Van Ha-
len, the provincial deputation, and the Junta in
Barcelona. From the former we learn that Gen. Van
Halen, having received no reply to his demand of the
previous day, marched from head-quarters at San
Felice de Llobregat to Sarria, establishing a line from
this point to the Fort of Montjuich, on the morning
of the 24th inst. An officer was then dispatched to
Barcelona to acquaint. the provincial deputation that
the hour for attacking the town had expired, and that
if he did not immediately hear from them he would
commence firing on the town. This had the desired
effect, and in a short_ time five or six individuals of
the provincial deputation, accompanied by as many
others of the respectable inhabitants of the town, ar-
rived at the head-quarters of the General. While this
deputation was explaining to him the state of parties
in the town, the change of opinion, which had taken
place, and the few obstacles which now remained to
prevent an accommodation, a dispatch arrived from
the commanding officer of the troops who had been
made prisoners, stating that the Junta had consented
to allow them to join head-quarters, but without their
arms. To this communication General Van Halen
replied that the prisoners detained in the city should
be permitted to march out to join him, with their
arms, and in complete military order. Two of the
deputation now returned to the city to inform the
Junta and the people of their interview with General
Van Halen, and to prevail upon them to yield uncon-
ditionally to his demands. The other individuals of
the deputation stopped with General Van Haien, in
proof of the confidence they placed in him. Their
companions, the Commissioners, bad not started Jong,
when the regiments of AlinanSa, Saboyai and Zatnora,
successively arrived at head-quartergi and were united
to the rest of the troops. On the following morning
of the 25th, Van Helen was to return to Sanz to re-
new negotiations, and, as was then, expected,. to enter
the city on that day. The deputation which waited
upon him said that, the only difficulties_ now in the way
of the re-establishment of order, were about 3,000 or
4,000 ruffians, who kept the better part of the popula-
tion in terror of their lives. They also stated that,
during the two preceding days, nearly one-half of the
population of the city had fled, partly for fear of these
ruffians, and partly for fear of the town being bom-
barded. The affair my, therefore, be looked upon
as all but terminated. The Regent remained at Sara-
gossa on the 25th. The National Guard and inhabi-
tants had addressed him, offering him their supperti
and condemning in the strongest manner the insur-
rection of Barcelona. All quiet herd. Provinces
