TROUBLES IN SphlN.
We find it utterly impossible to give the
news to-day as copiously az we had first in
tended. 1t appears that the troubles at and
in the ncighborhood Of Tarifia, have been Of
a more serious character, than some OF our
late accounts represented them to be. A let
ter from Madrid Of August y, to the editor
of the London Morning Herald, says; "for
the last four or five days there has been a
constant succession of couricrs between this
place and Andalusla and every day Cabi-
net Council, presided at by the hlng, has
been held. The cause has, at length, come
to light, and it is no less than the landing at
rariifa of the Constitutional General Tori
los, for the pLtpose of raising the country,
and acting in corporation with the numerous
bands of Consttutonalists who have their
strongholds in the mountains of Ronda, an
extremely favorable situation, and to drive
them from which it would require very
considerable force. There are various ac-
counts of this affair, but shall content my
self with that contained in letter from An
tequera, which says that Torijos is at the
head of about a thousand men that he is a
bunt,antly provided with money and arms;
that the garrison of Taritsa had joined his
standard, and that in all the villages OF the
mountains Of Rontla, the Stone OF the Constl-
tuition had been set up and finally, that TINS
conspiracy had most extensive raniihcatlons
in all the principal towns i'll -Andalusia, III
consequence of which, great number OF
persons had been arrested for a real or sus-
pectcd understanding with the conspiiators OF
Gibrater."
Gen. O'Donncll, who commanded in the
district, sent to the French Commander at
Cadiz, for assistance; and the next news we
have is telegraphic despatch, received at
Paris, on the 9th, of August, from "Gen.
Digeon to his Exccllency the Minister Of
War" announcing that " the forest OF Lar
if'a was taken by storm, on the 18th. at 5
O'Clock in the afternoon, by the French and
| Spanish troops. The rebels, who rctreated
INTO the Island, were attacked the next morn
ing at day-brcak, by the landing of French
troops, of the 31st regiment of the line. One
chief only escaped in a boat--the rest were
killed or taken. The prisoners have been
dcIiycd up to the Spaniards, to be tried ac-
cording to the laws" Thus had the affair
ended for the present. nareport from Gen.
| O'Donnel he states that the public tranquill-
tv has not been interrupted for a moment.
Speaking of the affair Of Tarliffa, the
Morning Herald says, the place was taken
by joint force of French and Spaniards. 1t
would appear that, previous to the arrival
of this intelligence, great alarm prevailed at
Madrid--not little heightened by the de-
parture Of the King for ldcfonso-Somc
change had taken, or was about to take
place, in the Spanish Ministry three mem
bers of which had received notice of dis
missal. The Governor Of Gibralter is stated
to have issued the strctest orders tor the
departure of all Spanish refugees from the
garrison, in Consequence, it is alleged, OF
their abusing the asylum granted them.
Their wrctchcdncss and dcstitution is eX-
trcmc-most probably, the expedition to
Tariffa was an effort of mere despair, by
men who had no longer shelter or subsis-
tcnce
