DErEAT AND DISPERSION OP THE MUTINOUS
GUARDS AT MADRID.
As erprese we stated yesterday tohavearrived from
Madrid, brought the Important intelligence of the total
defeat end dispersion of the mutinous guards in that
capital, on the 7th inst. These troops, it seems, were
a select corps of high•minded men, generally emir

mended by officers belonging to the noble families,
and, baring given umbrage to the constitutional party,
they expected to be di,basded as sun u a favurahle
opportunity offered. When they saw the militia called
out, they thought the moment for disbanding them
rows, and broke out into. open motley. as stated
In ear paper of Saturday. The post to which they
resorted whoa they quitted their parade was the
Pride, an old Palace situated on a bill, two 'raga's
from the. capital, known as the favourite bunt-
ing seat of Charles 111. The putties is a mili-
tary cur, sod the gnosis War esseonsded Ity

four of the battalions had stationed themselves on the
2d inst. and carried on those conferences we mention-
ed down to the evening of the 6th ; two other batta.
Hose of the same corps keeping guard at the Palace.
In tbis condition things remained till the morning of
the 7th, when, about three o'clock, the battalions
who had encamped on the Prado, throwing down one
of the city gates, penetrated into the capital. Their
rise, as it appears, was to form themselves into three
divisions, one of which was to attack the park of ar-
tillery ; another to disarm the national militia, which
Lad en,:amped in the suite of the Constitution ; and
the third to take possession of the Puerta del Sol, end
to guard the streets which led to it. The Go►en-
ment, it seems, were apprised of the intentions of the
ominous troops; and the militia, and armed inhabi-
tants under General blorillo, assisted by Generals Be-
lasteros and Ringo, assembled to oppose them. Of
the projects of the mutineers the only one in which
they succeeded was that which we have mentioned
last, and which accelerated their defeat. Ha►-
ing reached the Puerta del Sol, and dislodged the
gnard at the Post Office, they sallied forth into the
erects, and had the boldness to enter the Great Square,
where there were two pieces of cannon and two thou-
sand men of the National Militia. The moment they
appeared they were fired upon with dreadful effect,
and after a stubborn cutest. in which it is computed
they had a hundred killed, they proceeded to join the
battalions in the Palace. In the mean time the lie]
guards, who were I. the park of artillery, possessed
themselves of the stables, and all the approaches to
the Palace became occupied by patriotic soldiers. At
this crisis the permanent deputation of the Codes,
which by want of communication with the King's
Ministers, who acre detained in the Palace from the
preceding day, convoked a junta, composed of Cons-
ultors of State and others, to deliberate upon a
message to his Majesty for the purpose cf putting
an end to the horrors that prevailed. The object
of this message was to urge the King to order
the guards to lay down their arms; hut this was
deemed inconsistent with the Royal dignity.—la
the end however, the King agreed that the four
battalions who had committed the hostile aggres-
sion should immediately surrender their arms, and
that the other two might be permitted to leave the
capital with their arms. but divided from each other,
and forced to give up for punishment those of them
who had been guilty of the murder of their (Am-, on
the day his Majesty prorogued the Cortes. The 0••
emery orders having been given to this effect, the
battalions condemned to der their arms took to
light. I immediately &detachment of artillery, militia
and cavalry was dispatched i• pursuit of them. They
were ions overtaken ; many, it is saie, were left for
dead on the spot, and more than a third part were

On the morning of the Bth, the small party of
guards who escaped the preceding night, presented
themselves, and prayed for pardon. At ten o'clock,
the auxiliary Bishop of Madrid said male In the bal-
