" BARCELONA, MARCH 26.—The news which
our authorities daily eceive of what is passing on
the side of Tortosa causes the greatest uneasiness.
It is true that the conspiracy has been discovered in
sufficient time to prevent the conspirators from
getting possession of the place; but those who were
out of the town, finding that the plot had failed,
have raised the standard of revolt. They roam
along the banks of the Ebro, and commit every
kind of excess under the cries of ' Live Charles V.',
and Death to Ferdinand VII.' There is no doubt
that these movements are directed by the chiefs of
the society of The Exterminating Angel,' and are
protected by a secret authority. We shall ascertain
this when those now in custody have undergone
their examinations. I send you a copy of the des-
patches of Lieutenant-Colonel Coll, appointed by
the Governor of Tortosa to arrest the persons im-
plicated, which will inform you how the conspiracy
was discovered. A long letter is subjoined, in
which it is stated that a Lieutenant wished to seduce
a Sergeant-Major of the garrison, and that the latter
affected to join in the proposed plan, but informed
Lieutenant-Colonel Coll, and thus the whole plan
was discovered and defeated.

MADRID, MARCH 25.—Their Majesties and all
the Royal Family returned to Madrid on the after-
noon of the 23d. An immense concourse went out
to meet them, and the most lively acclamations bore
witness to those august personages the pleasure felt
by the people in once more beholding them. The
streets were lined by the Royalist Volunteers. Yes-
terday our pious Sovereign, according to custom,
washed the feet of a few poor people, and waited on
them at their repast, in presence of all the Grandees
of Spain that happened to be at the time in Madrid.
The Royal Family is to go, in a few days, to the
Royal residence at Aranjuez.
MARCH 27.—Orders have been just despatched
for the regiment of cavalry that is stationed at Al-
mendralejo, in Extremadura, under the command of
Don John Malats to form a junction with
the bri-
gade of light infantry commanded by General
O'Neil. This brigade will be reinforced also by a
of company
, the squadron of light artillery,whiehis about to quit Badajoz to join the Army of Obser-
vation, with eight pieces of artillery. Different re-
giments of provincial militia have been told to keep
themselves ready for marching. On th.. other hand
we are positively assured that several bodies of
troops are about to assemble in Old Castile, under
the orders of M. Jewph O'Donnell, lately nomi-
nated, as I have bac: a mentioned to you,
General of that proyirce. The division will very
sp
edilY be formed; already the three regiments that
are in garrison at Valencia, Saragossa, and at Ge-
rona, and which are composed of three battalions,
have received orders to be completed each to a
thousand men. The union of these three battalions
will take place in Old Castile, whither large quanti-
ties of military stores are about to be transported ; a
number of waggons have been put in requisition for

that purpose. The Director-General of the Artil-
lery is occupied in preparing a train of twelve field-
pieces. It is asserted that M. de Casa Flores, our
Ambassador in Portugal, is positively to quit Lisbon
on the 2d of next month. The Supreme Council of
War has refused to purify a number of Generals and
some Colonels, who acted under the Government of
the Cortes.

(EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.)

LISBON, MARCH 21.—Two officers of the Portu,
guess staff have proceeded to Spain, in order to de-
mand the horses and arms of the rebels. It is said
that no difficulty will be started as to the arms, but
that the horses will be refused.
There is a report that Sir Wm. A'Court, the
British Ambassador, has made use of his influence
to keep the present Ministry in their places. The
general section of the Chamber nominated yester-
day a Central Commission, which is to report and
state its opinion respecting the proposal of the De-
puty Magalhaes against the Ministry.
Conformably to the 17th Article of the Consti-

tution, the Cortes must terminate in the beginning
of April their present session of three months.—
Last night it was asserted in the best informed
circles, that the Princess Regent would prolong the
Session. This measure is looked on as necessary,
in order to finish the discussions upon matters still
undecided, and to pass the regulating laws of the
Charter—laws, whose necessity and urgency are
correctly appreciated. At the same time the Coun-
cil of State was not convoked until to-day, at noon,
to give its opinion on this affair. Now, it is known,
that, according to the Constitution, this preliminary
must precede the use which the moderating power
may make, conformably to the second chapter, Ar-
ticle 74, of the Charter, of the prerogative of as-
sembling the Extraordinary Cortes in the interval
between the ordinary sessions.
(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCL)
MADRID, MARCH 26.—Every thing continues to
wear a more threatening and hostile character. Our
Minister wishes, it is said, to frighten England,
whose moderation it takes for weakness. The Go-
vernment, far from disbanding the army, or with-
drawing it, had just sent forward towards Estrema-
dura the only regiment of the Guard which re-
mained at Talaveira ; and a park of nine pieces of
artillery, which arrived here from Valencia, A few
days ago, is to set out to-morrow for Palencia, in
Old Castile. The following are even stronger pre-
sumptions. M. Salmon has, it is said, formally de-
clared to Mr. Lamb, that Spain is very far from dis-
approving of the conduct of the Portuguese rebels;
that it sees in their conduct nothing but a desire to
maintain peace, and that the hope of supporting
them with effect, by negotiation, has alone hindered
her from seconding them by arms ; but that, in ease
the negociations entered upon should not have a
satisfactory issue, then Spain will join those Portu-
guese, who, says M. Salmon, are affected to be called
rebels. The reports which circulate those speeches
of M. Salmon, appear, as I have just said, to be
well founded, for, all of a sudden, and when it was
least expected, a depot of Portuguese refugees has
been found at Palencia, where, doubtless, the mass
of the rebels will be placed, while the depots of
Calahorra and Soria will be such only in name.
Palencia is not so distant from the Portuguese fron-
tiers by one half as those two towns; and, instead of
breaking up the soldiers, two new regiments have
just been enrolled.
PARIS, APRIL s.—The events which have passed
in the Peninsula, since the establishment of the Por-
tuguese Constitution, have proved, demonstrtivelr,
that the focus of the conspiracy organised against
that Constitution is at Madrid. The Chaves, the
Magessi, the Montealegre, were merely the insru-
meats of the apostolic faction, which works upon the
ignorance and barbarousness of the Spanish people.
If any doubts remained upon the subject, it would
be sufficient to peruse the Quotidienne, the official
Journal of the Apostolics. This Journal, which is
in the secret of the party, assures its readers to-day,
that it is Spain which put an end to the hostilities
in Portugal ; it then speaks of the rebels, whom it
terms royalists, for that is the exclusive title which
the enemies of public liberty arrogate to themselves
in all countries. There are not, according to their
views, any royalists but the partisans of the inquisi-
tion, and of absolute power. "If the royalists,"
says the Quotidienne, " have laid down their arms,
they can take them up again when need requires.
If the English retire from Portugal, the refugees
will return to it in peace; if; on the contrary, the
English army remains in Portugal, it is probable that
Chaves, Magessi, Tellez Jordao, and all their com-
panions in arms, will penetrate anew into their na-
tive country, but, in that case, they will form the
advance guard of a Spanish army."
This is positive, and we give the more ready be-
lief to these assertions, that there exists en official
correspondence, and a very active one, between the
apostolic junta of Spain, and the apostolic commit-
tee of Paris. The Quotidienne draws from good
sources; and the tone of prophecy, which it some-
times affects, has nothing surprising in it. It is
as if we heard M. Calomarde, or Father Cyrille
himself.

(Fern the Etoile, dated Saturday, April 7.)
On the Bth of March, the town of Salamo, four
leagues from Milan, experienced the fate of Salins.
It was almost entirely consumed. The theatres of
Milan, which were closed, have opened again, to per-
form for the benefit of the sufferers.

LEEDS.—Two strangers attended Bradford
market on Thursday 'au, in the character of merchants,
and purchased about 730 pieces of worsted stuff goods, for
‘; ready money," with which they loaded a waggon, and
sent it off in the direction of Manchester; they then dis-
appeared, and the person who had sold the pieces, after a
long and fruitless search after the ready-money purchasers,
sent a constable in pursuit of the waggon, which he over-
took at the Dolphin Inn, Clayto* Heights, and brought
the goods safe back. The anonymous purchasers have not
rinse been heard of.---On Monday last a boy three years
and a half old, son of Mr. Joseph Oates, cabinet maker,
g
of this town, fell out of the
garret window of his father's
home, in York-street and
vra • no dreadfully hurt as to
,
occasion his death at boar o'clock the next 'twain!'"
