The Bulletin des Lois of Tuesday contained a decree,
announcing that an extraordinary credit of 52,250,000 f. is
opened from the budget of 1854, to the Minister of War,
to provide for the most urgent expenses resulting from
the augmentation of the army and the formation of the
army of the East.
Orders have been sent to Boulogne and other ports in
the Channel for the embarkation of 10,000 of the troops
now assembling to form the Boulogne camp. It is thought
that they are to be sent to the Baltic to take possession of
the island of Aland.
On Wednesday it was said that the house of Messrs.
Rothschild, freres, of Paris, refused to discount the
coupons of the Spanish debt, as they have been in the
habit of doing.

The Monitezer publishes a long report from General
Roudon, the Governor-General of Algeria, with respect to
the military operations which he is carrying on at the
present moment in the Great Kabalie. The great tribe
of Beni Menquilet has made its submission. The chiefs

had arrived on the 24th at the Governor-General's camp
with their war tribute, and to offer protestations of their
submission to France. The example was followed by

another gre

INSURRECTION IN SPAIN.
The military insurrection of the 28th ult., a telegraphic
report of which we published last week, does not appear
to have been thoroughly put down. Thursday's De-bats
has an account which we condense :—On the evening of
the 29th ult.. General Lama left Madrid to attack the

Another account, in the Messager de Bayonne, says
that Col. Garrigo had been rescued by General O'Donnell.
A Bayonne despatch -of the Oth says :—" The rebels
were completely defeated on the 30th. Those who still
hold out are in the neighbourhood of Madrid. A great
number of officers and 'soldiers have already abandoned
them, and made their submission, It is hoped that to-
night the desertion will be still more considerable. Madrid
continues tranquil, and the news from the provinces is
satisfactory."

Notwithstanding the favourable accounts given by the
telegraphic despatches, the state of affairs in Spain seems
to be very precarious. The Messager de Bayonne and
private letters from Madrid give a direct contradiction to.
the telegraph. They say that the Queen's troops, com-
manded by the Minister of War, so far from being victo,.
rious, were driven back precipitately into the city of
Madrid, after having lost their artillery and fifty men.
Half the garrison of Madrid is said to have joined the
movement. Great anxiety is felt as to the part to be taken
by General Narvaes and General Serano.
The insurgents have issued a manifesto, calling on the
citizens to arm for the purpose of overthrowing the cor-
rupt ministry. They profess personal loyalty to the Queen.
The latest accounts from Madrid are comprised in a
despatch of the 6th. It must be remembered that these
telegraphic statements are issued under the control of the
government, and that the fact of an insurgent force having
been able to hold a position within musket-shot of the
royal palace has not been controverted. According to the
despatch we have mentioned, the capital and the provinces
are tranquil. The insurgents are pursued by the troops
faithful to the government, and have arrived at Ciudad
Real, on their way to Estremadnra, to gain the Portuguese
frontier.
