OFFICIAL ARTICLE.
To avoid the delay which might arise
from the doubts entertained by the Coun-
Gil in execution Of my decree OF yester-
day, for the immediate convocation Of the
Cor.es, and being the general will Of the
people, have decided TO swear, TO the
Constitution proclaimed by the general
and extraordinary Cortes in 1912. Do
you hold il as understood, and do you
make immediate publication OF this.
| Signed by my royal hand.

/ PARIS, March 9.
The journals Of Bordeaux which arri-
we'd to-day, confirm the news which we
gave yesterday aud the day before, con-
[cerning Spain. They also add more, a.
mong which there are some which want an
appearance of exactness, and which, for
that reason, we abstain from publishing.
The following is the most Important. We
publish it without altering word.
6 The Marquis of Lazan. captain gem
eral Of Aragou, has gone to Madrid 10
haste, to give advice to the insurgents, ia
Saragossa, where the people. have effaced
the name OF Ferdinand, which was placed
over the public places, and substituted
that OF the Constitution.
s' General Castanos, captain general of
Catalonia, has also given advice to gov
eminent that he could not answer for the
fidelity of that province, where he heard
OF many secret meetings among the mill
tary and the people.
6 The same person met courier that
was going from Santander to Madrid, TO
carry the news that the CONSTRUCTION had
been proclaimed in the former Of these
cities.
There has been some commotion at
Valencia, and Nebot has been placed at
the head of corps Of 400 men, and has
made preparations to join the columns of
Riego, which was supposed TO be near
Grenada.
The insurgents Of the Isle Of Leon
have established a provisionary junta,
composed of the Marquis of Uregua, of
M. Soils, director of ports of the Island,
and two other persons NJ. Aieai Goiia-
no. has been appointed prime secretary.
g Gen. Elio has been disgraced for
having advised the king to leave the cap
itai.
The command of the army of General
FIR yre, has been offered TO Generals Biron
aud Ballesteros both have declined.
6 The staff officers Of Gen .Freyre have
hs.- nd
demanded that the regiment which attack
ed the three companies which Reggie left
at Malaga, be struck from the army list,
for having split the blood Of their COM
| rades.
6 The person who gave these details
has also informed, that the insurrection
was becoming general throughout Spain,
and the greatest confusion reigned at Mad
rid, at the time Of his departure; and that
maoy grandees of Spain had presented
themselves TO the King, praying that he
would conyoke the Cortes, which they re-
garded as the sole means Of quieting the
insurgents.
The letters which We have ourselves
received from Madrid, via Irnn, and from
BiIboa, by yesterdays mail, confirm in
| the most positive manner the progress
which the iusurrection is making, and the |
embarrassment OF government. That from
Madrid is couched in the following terms /
1t is impossible for me TO give you
an idea Of the CONSERVATION Of the Court.
Al the moment they expected that the in
surrection Of the Isle of Leon had been
snbdued, we heard that it had spread it
self as far as GalIicia. In the morning Of
the goth Of this month, the people Of that
province rose 10 conjunction with the |
troops. Captain Vauegas was arrested in
MS palace; Professionally government was
formed, and the Constitution published.
They dug up the remains of General Por-
lier, and paid them funeral honors. His |
widow was carried about 10 triumph. AT
Belanzos and al Ferroi, the Constitution |
has been also published. The governor of
the latter city having made some resist
ance, was killed. At Corogne. those who
took part 10 the arrest and condemnation
OF Gen. Porlier, have likewise been killed.
The Instruction had extended itself to
Astnrias. AT Castropol, Cangas and
Fincc, the Constitution was proclaimed.
Vengeance was exercised upon those men
who we're signaIized for persecution. The
constiiutionaiists Of Corogne had marched
upon Santiago, TO facilitate the instruction
there. The constitution has been peacea-
bly, proclaimed at Santander, in conse-
quence Of official orders received from
the provisionary government Of Corogne. F"
The King has communicated this news
to the council Of CASTLE, which has de-
handed the advice Of the attorney gene
raj. The members Of this council have
been for the most part, the executors of
