SPANISH NEWS.
The insunection has at length become
general in Spain. a courier who arriv-
ed here yesterday, brought intelligence
from different provinces, proclamalions
from various constitutional chiefs, and
several new Journals, from which, OH ac-
count Of want OF room, we can make but
few extracts. The intelligence brought
is further confirmed by Russian cou.
rier who passed through here yesterday,
and who had Quilted Madrid on ,he
morning of the 9th inst. He adds, that
after the almost unanimous dcclarat;o of
the army aid people, and the energetic
demonstration of General Ballesteros,
the King found himself obliged TO pro-
claim the Constitution Of the Cortes, the
same as we announced yesterday.
The pri,ens of the inquisition were u
Universally thrown open, and general
amnesty was about signing when the
courier left there.
SARACossA, MARCH 7th.
Never has a political change been
brought about with SO much tranquility
and union. The constitution has been
proclaimed the day before yesterday by
all the people and the garrison composed
OF two regiments of infantry and one Of
cavalry. Military music and a general
illuminating terminated this memorable
day. .,-.,
The JOY of the people of Arragon was at
its hight. The marquis d'Alazon, cap
tain general, has been confirmed in his
command, and the Count de Castro xon,
who had replaced him by order OF the
king, has been arrested and sent back to
Madrid.
MADRID, cth March.
All has Terminated happily the weak
ness OF the government against the i'm
mense force of public opinion, does no,
even give time to organize the contes,
between light and darkness. The Con.e
dAbIsdal who called himself the friend
of Ferdinand, has gone to Ocana, where
he mas put himself at the head of regi.
ment commanded by one of his brothers,
and has arrested the public authorities
and proclaimed the constitution. He
continues the same operation in the diff.
terent towns of the Channel.
Several piquets Of cavalry from this
garrison and many gardes du corps have
deserted with their arms and mountings.
All the corps of engineers and sappers
which wefe at Alcaia, have disappeared.
Finally, all the provinces are declaring
themselves and constituting provisional
governments; all these events which fol.
low each other with such rapidity have
forced the King to declare that he would
consent to the wishes Of the people, who
show the most lively movements of joy,
and we hope that this great crisis will be
terminated without the smallest misior.
