The French Papers of Monday bring some addi-
tional intelligence from Madrid, though not of a later
date than what we have already given. The Muni-
cipality of Spain presented an Address to the KING
on the events of the 30th of June, in which they
demand that the assassins and rebels shall be punished.
" Flow," say they, " cat, we believe that such crimes
ate met ely casual? We have long observed a regularly
'organised conspiracy against our dearest liberties—
we have seen the evil, but it has not been remedied.
—lf such climes ale to go unpunished, there will
be neither military discipline nor social order, nor
will the life of your MAJESTY be any longer in safety."
They then assure him of the confidence they enter-
tain in the existing Authorities, and the hope that his
MAJESTY will take such measures as the critical situ-
ation in which the capital is placed now demand; and
they entreat him not to shut his ear to the voice of
the Municipality, if he wishes his own preservation
and that of those brave Spaniards who have so often
shed their blood for their KING.
The French ultra Royal Papers are quite au deses-
poir at the late events in Madrid. The Qualidienne
is quite. feriou.i against FERDINAND for not having
had sufficient courage and firmness to avail hitnse:f
of the late opportunity of restoring despotism, and
calls upon all the Kings of Europe to make a new
crusade against liberty, and pour their armies'
into Spain for the vurpose of making the imbecile
the absolute KING. The Journal des Debuts, how-
ever, gives such an exposition of the conduct of the
KING, as almost proves him the undisguised Chief of
the revolt, and must put an end to all confidence in
him. It appears that during the insurrection, and
while the Guards were in unpunished mutiny, the
RING sent an answer to the address of the permanent
deputation of the Cortes, in which he demanded
—l-1, a guarantee for his own life, which he says is
threatened by a republican and anarchical faction ;-
2.317, the advice of the Council of State on the
best means of inducing the Guards to return with
honour to that duty from which the repeated insults
of the Liberals had made them for a moment &pat t;
idly, that General RIEGo should be sent to a Court
Martial, for having taken the command of the Con-
stitutional troops; and 4th, that the Council and
the permanent deputation of the Cortes should ex-
plain their views in respect to the dignity of the
Crown and the Royal Person. A very moderate
proposal truly, and to which it is said the Council of
State returned for answer, that they enuld not gua-
rantee the safety of the KING, when a justly irritated
people might attack the Royal residence to purge it
from those odious saltFars by whom it was guarded;
that the only 4 means or calming the agitation was os
punish with the utmost rigour the rebel guards,: that
the conduct of General RUGG was entitled t 0 praise,
and that his MAJESTY ought not to countenance those
accusations against the General which had been pub-
lished by a Journal sold to the • Hoty Alliance (the
Imparcial); that the CoUncil of State knew no other
duty but that of defending the Constitution, a duty
which all its members sought to discharge. The
'KING is said to have sent a new message, stating that'
in consequence of the present state of things, and the
repeated outrages on his person and authority, the
social contract should be considered as broken, and
that he should re-assume all his rights. The Council
replied, that the social contract had been violated by
his MAJESTY, who possessed no rights but those
which the Constitution had given him.
It appears that the conspirators had principally re-
lied on the support of General hiourat.o, whom they
expected to tarnish all his former glory by heading
a band of rebels to overturn the Constitution, which
he had sworn to defend. They sent Deputations to
him, inviting that be would join them; but he replied,
that he saw is the Guard nothing but mutineers, and
