e have received intelligence from Madrid
to: the 20th instant, with Barcelona papers of the
17th and 18th, giving ample details of the out-
: :break in that town on the 13th. ESPARTERO, on
receiving the news, made a formal communica-
-4 y • 694 to the Cortes on the subject, and at the
hit same time announced that he would set off next
day, the 21q, for Barcelona with an escort of
three battalions. The Cortes immediately voted
on address to the REGENT, and at the same time
expressed their determination to support the
Government against the insurgents. The fal-
lowing telegraphic dispatch sufficiently explains
the object of the insurgents, and confirms the re-
-1 Port in one of the French journals, that the ma-
tiofacturers and monopolists of Catalonia were the
ringleaders of the movement. Justice and pro-
tection for national industry, in other words, " no
commercial treaty+ith England,"-is the order of
the day.

appears that.,oa the. 15th the insurgents
agst- 'Were victorious, and the troops retired to the
latr:: citadel. During the night, and the whole of the
44'11 following day, the forts of 11.1ort;uich and the
tlatitodel cannonaded and bouibarded the town.
:The Junta, it would appear, is composed almost
a'eotirely of workmen and small traders, whose
tatil'l;s9.hief obiects are better trade and higher wages,
kdiliditand prohibition of foreign manufactures. They
s‘lP'sare, in fact, imitating the example set by the
French delegates, with this difference, that the
bistil `if! !rrerieti monopolists adopted constitutional means
for protecting their interests, while the Cata-
lonians have madly resorted to violence; and are
attempting to overturn the Government. There
never was a more insane or hopeless conspiracy.
' ' They have opposed to them the established Go-
vernment, the Cortes, the army, and all the
1r agriculturists and wine producers. What hopes
`5,a111 °t success can one province have against such
united power? The following is a brief account
of what took place on the 17th :

was appointed President of a Junta of nine
(tW ta.aembers, which assumed the title of Provisional
St-I+i
Junta o: the People ; and a second one,
ta:2-11i .ku ;!av,lng a consultative character, was on the point of
Gary
"g formed. Before the appointment of the Junta,
arca, published in his own name a proclamation,
congratulating his • heroic fellow citizens on having
• obtained their liberty, and beaten down the military
kit,ts despotism which a "foolish Government had imposed
en them_a Government :which destroyed their ma-
unfactures and trade, desired to, render. them
`loves by reducing themtOtwatit. He then addresses
°", the workmen who had fought in the insurrection, and
9.j Promises to indemnify them for their perils and severe
tp .14ivations. He terminates by inviting the battalions
"`' 'lla,"Q•fsthe National Guards to nominate each a repre-
's ''tkritative, to form a superior Junta. This Junta,
which has been thus appointed, is composed princi-
' tans- of small traders and workmen, completely un-
,nown up to that day. It issued on the 17th a pro-
" , "Illation, addressed to all Catalonians, which.would
sees to indicate that the insurrection is to spread over
the rest of the province. After some general phrases
• the triumph of the people, the Junta takes care,

114 President Garcy had previously done, to an-
aat'unee to the workmen that their condition is about
, I•7Qe.deliberated on with the utmost solicitude. After
''iPs proclamation came a decree for establishing
i'ag,',%.&nething like order amongst all the armed po-
sa,'t'srlllation which thrOnged the city. In consequence
the'Corninanders of the National Guards and the
:11e:tirles 'of the town were summoned to attend the
d'uto of the people to receive instructions. The
','''';:;')-"refs and Officers of the National Guards were to
:117Pite to small bodies all persons in arms who did not

fiXedpost. Whoever should' be found guilty
I. theft, or any other culpable excess, was to be

and has given it permission to leave the

` L's:`,.'''l• of Atarazanas. During the night, the troops
were in possession of the citadel evacuated

•i.titil""lY of Fort Monjuich and the port, with the mari-
e faubourg of Barcelloneta. The French Consul
offered protection to a great number of persons,
'kill 7:44 sent them on board the Meleagre. Amongst the
