Paras, March 9.
The journals of Bordeaux, which arrived
to-day confirm the news which we gave yes
terday and the day before concerning Spain.
They also add more, among which there is
some which wants an appearance OF exact
ness, and which, for that reason, we abstain
+, from publishing. The following is the most
| important. We publish it without altering
a word
g The marquis of Lazan, captain gen. of
Aragon, has gone to Madrid in haste, TO give
advice of the insurgents in Saragossa, where
the people have efaced the name OF Ferdi-
nand which was placed over the public pla-
ses, and substituted that OF the Constitution.
General Castanos. capt gen. OF Cataio-
MIA, has also given advice to government that
he could not answer for the fidelity Of that
province, where he heard many secret meet
ings among the military and the people.
"The same person met courier that was
going from Santander to Madrid, to caay
the news that the constitution had bt en- pro-
claimed in the former of these cities.

lencla, and Nebot has been placed at The
head OF corps of 400 men, and has made
preparations TO JOIN the column OF Riego,
which was supposed TO be near to Grenada
The insurgents of the Isle efLeon, have
established provisionary Junta, composed
OF the Marquis of Uregua, OF M. Soils, Of the
director of ports of the Island, and of Two

appointed prime secretary.
General clio has been diSgraced for ha-

Freyre, has been offered to Gen. Biron and
Belesteron; both have declined.
''The staff officers of Gen. Freyre have
presented themselves before him, and have
demanded that the regiment which attacked
the three companies which Riego lett at Nal
aga be struck from the army list for having
split the blood Of their comrades.
The person who gave thcs details has
also informed that the instruction was be-
coming general throughout Spain, that the
greatest confusion reigned at Madrid, at the
moment OF his departure and that many
grandees ofSpain had presented themselves
to the king praying tina the would convoke
the Cortes, which they regarded as the sole
means of quoting the insurgents.
The letters which we have ourselves re-
ceived from Madrid, from Irun, and from
Bilboa, by Yesterdays mail, confirm in the
most positive manner, the progress which
the Instruction is making, and the embar-
rassment of government. That from Mad
rid is couched in the following terms:
cit is impossible for me to give you an
idea of the CONSERVATION of the court. At
the moment that they expected that the in
surrection OF the isle of Leon had been sub
dued. we heard that it had spread itself as
