TUB STRASBURG REVOLUTION, PARIS, Nov. six
o'clock on Saturday morning last, (Oct. 29,) Louis Napoleon
Buonaparte called upon the Colonel of Artillery, Vaudrey, in gar-
rison at Strasburg, with whom he had been for some time in cor-
respondence. The colonel conducted him to the barracks of his
regiment, assembled the men, and presenting Louis to them,
said, " Louis Philippe is no more. His government has been
overturned in Paris. There is an end to the dynasty of Or-
leans. Behold the descendant of f' the great inn." He is
worthy of being our King. " Vive Napoleon Louis Buona-
parte !" The soldiers joined in this cry, and iinniediately'took
up arms. Picketi were immediately marched to the hotels of
the different authorities•by whom the prefect and the general of
brigade in command of the place were arrested: Colonel Par-
quip (brother of the barrister who defended Fieschi) accompa-
nied Louis Napoleon to the house of General Voirol, and
found him just getting out of bed. Colonel Parquin hairing or-
dered his men to arrest the general, the latter rushed to his bed-
side, and drew out a pistol, which he levelled at Parquin, and
drew the trigger, but the pistol missed fire. The general then
ran behind a desk, and addressed the soldiers, assuring them
that they hail been grosAy deceived, and pointing at Parquin,
as the principal in the fraud, ordered them to arrest him. The
soldiers in one moment resumed the exercise of their senses,
and, furious at the idea of being made the tools of an intriguant
andA liar, seized him and carried him off to their quarters,
where they told their comrades what had occurred. In an in-
stant the truth flashed on the soldiers, whose indignation was
roused to the utmost by finding that they had been duped, and
they would have instantly torn to pieces their colonel, Louis
Napoleon, and the other chiefs of the revolt, had they not been
saved by the timely arrival of General Voirol. at the head of a
body of troops of the garrison. In an instant all the revolters
were in custody ;- the magistrates previously arrested by them
were restored to liberty, and, before the people of Strasburg
knew anything respecting it, the ,movement was suppressed.
The ringleader's arrested are eight in number.

ATTEMPTED INSURRECTION AT VENDOME.—The Ministerial
evening Journal contains the following :—" An attempt at a
'military insurrection, still more senseless than that of Stras-
burg, has just taken place at Venddtne—an attempt which, in
spite of its insignificance, merits some attention, ou account of
the coincidence between the dates of the two movements ; for,
as to the result of such rash and culpable undertakings, not the
slightest apprehension can be entertained. The following are
the, particulars of this insane attempt, made on the 30th ult.,
upon the loyalty of the Ist Regiment of Hussars, in garrison,
at VendBree.—A Brigadier of the fourth squadron, named
Bruyant, was at the inn of the Tete Noire, with 14 Hussars of
the Regiment, and at this meeting a plan had been adopted to
sound to horse during the night, to seize upon the military
posts, to.snaster the officers on duty, to arrest the authorities,
and to proclaim the republic. The rebels were then to march
upon the neighbouring towns to increase their party. -The
meeting,. before it broke up, was denounced to the Lieuten-
ant-Colonel of the regiment, who lost no time in .ordering the
Brigadier and his fourteen accomplices to be arrested. On
being conducted to the guard-house, Bruyant availed himself
'of a moment of liberty .to file a pistol at a Quarter-master,
placing the muzzle close to the body of the.unfurtunate man,
who was instantly shot dead. Bruyant profited by the confu-
sion occasioned by the event, escaped from his guards, swain
across the Lair, and was soon out of sight. His principal ac-
complice, the hussar 'l'hierry, also escaped at the first alerts.
At two o'clock in the morning, Bruyant voluntarily returned
to the barracks, gave himself up, and was immediately placed
in confinement. - He was afterwards interrogated by the Pro-
cureur du Roi, accompanied by the sub-Prefect, but he made
no concealment of his plans or of his senseless hopes. The
Hussars, who had assembled at the Tete Noire, and whose arms
were loaded, have beet' arrested, and have already undergone
an examination. This echauffoureo was confined to the bar-
racks of the regiment, the tranquillity of the town of Vendome
not having been for a moment interrupted. All the posts have,
been doubled, and the National Guards were under arms on the
first summons from the sub-Prefect and the municipal authori-
ties."

SPAIN.
(From the Correspondent of the Morning Herald.)
MADRID, OCT. 27.—1 have only time to inform you that there
was a very animated debate this day in the Cortes respecting
the question of the regency. It was proposed that the matter
should be discussed by the deputies, and a committee formed to
report thereon. Upon which a deputy, named Pizarro, arose
and said, that any discussion upon the proposal that the regency
should be confided to Christina alone was an evident infraction
of the constitution. H. used very strong language indeed in
in support of his view of the case, but was repeatedly called to
order by the president, who appeared to be very much irritated.
Pizarro, nothing daunted at these interruptions, advanced close
to the president's seat, and thundered out that he was a deputy
of the nation ; that the pi esident was nothing more; and that
he did not acknowledge in him any right to censure his lan-
guage. A scene of confusion now ensued, and some persons
supported strongly Pizarro's arguments; amongst others a cu-
rate, who was also a stickler for the glorious constitution. The
matter ended with the proposal of the question, which was sup-
ported by 4-1 members, and opposed by 11, out of a house of Ei9
members. When the question became warm, the remaining
deputies left the house in the most cowardly manner, refusing
to vote either pro or con. This will give you some idea of the
patriotism of the representatives of the National Congress as it
is 'called.

Mendizabal said that the announcement of the non-payment
of the dividend was not in conformity to the arrangement
agreed upon by him, as it was his purpose to pay it by treasury
bills. This was the addition to his report of which I spoke to
you yesterday, but of which I cannot give you details by this.
post.
Gomez, by the last accounts, was close to Almeida, and, from
the report or Colonel Flinter, his force is about 13,000 fighting
men. From this you wilt at once perceive that all attempts on
the part of the Queen's gdards to dislodge him from his positions
are likely to prove fruitleSs. The people of F,stremadura are in
the most disheartened stale, and, by way of wending the matter,
I have been assured that the inhabitants of Badajoz have pro-
claimed the republic. The news received of the attack by the
Carlists upon Bilboa has produced a great sensation here, as it
is supposed that the inhabitants of that town will not be able to
make any efficient resistance.
The funds continue in the most depressed state. No negocia-
tions for cash have.been made to-day. J. W. W.
A telegraphic despatch from Bayonne, received yesteiday,
announces that the Spanish Cortes have declared the Queen
sole regent during the minority of her daughter. By our Ma-
drid correspondence we find that a proposition to this effect,
signed by several deputies, was made in the sitting of October
26th in the following terms :—" The General Cortes of the na-
tion confirm to her Majesty the Queen Regent the title and
authority with which she is invested in that capacity during the
minority of her august daughter, Donna Isabella II." In the
same sitting a committee of nine members was appointed to
draw up a plan for putting an end speedily to the civil war.
