nand can bring into the field, exposing themselves
10 the still more perilous snares spread By his rcache-

place them on q moFe equal footing with their mon-
Arch for if il be true, AZ Il is stated In the following
extracts, that six thousand Of them have cut two
whole regiments Of Royal troops to pieces, that an
conspiracy has been discovered SaFragosi
embracing the most distinguished families Of tha-
heroic city, and that all Galica is also the OF

armng to meet those who remain faithful are great
as to be called epeeeaSSe, it is clear that the chan

rebels; and that it is safer for them the
sword than to accept Ferdinand's hollow clemency.

report is spread that the affairs of the Greeks had
taken favourable turn that Russian Consul
to the Greek Government has been appointed, and
that the Count Capo DIstra going to be official
y recognised President Of Greece by the three Al
lied Powers.

Gen. Monet on the 18th inst. at Conca del Tren,
large valley about league from Tarragona, fought
action with the rebels, in which he hau two horses
killed under him, aud was completely beaten. The
rebels then drove him into Tarragona, where he has
shut himself up with two regiments of royal troops !;
they now besieging him in that place. 1t is said
to be the news of this fight joined with that Of the
desertiOn to the Insurgents of more than a third of
the royal troops, which has determined his Majesty to
set out post
1t is thought that the fall of NJ. Balasteros, whose
financial measures have done the greatest injury to
Catalonia, the most INDUSTRIOUS commercial, and man
ufacturng province will be the inevitable result of
the Kings journey. 1t would then be difficult to pre-
vent that of nj. Calomarde from following, not
wIthstanding his present favor The Insurgents have
totally destroyed the famous paper mandatory at O.
lot, belonging to M. Calomarde; they have also shot
the foreman of the works. This mandatory made
many malecontents, because M. Calomarde. proftng
by his position not only furnished papers to all the
offices of his department. but also to those of his col
leagues, (even when the Duke de L'Infantado, who
has paper manufactures, was Minister of State) and.
in consequence the greater part of the other paper
manufactures established in Catalonia sold hardly any.
1t many things of this kind that has brought about
the revolution in Catalonia.
Two regiments of royal troops, in going through
pass called the Col de Baaguer, were surprised and
cut in pieces by 5000 insurgents, commanded by
stranger, whose name, and even country, is yet
known here. The insurgents have lately circulated
throughout Catalonia, even in Barceonia proclaim
alton the Kings name, in which full and perfect
amnesty granted for all political opinions and crimes,
to all Spanlards, from 1908 to the present day. 1t
no longer bands that form the instruction, but levy
masse.
The last letters from Gaicia announce general dis
content to be prevailing in that province; general
rising is Appreciated there in opposition to that in
Catalonia. In Gacia the CRY would be---Viva Ia
Constitution.
Sept. 22.-Diferent reports are abroad concerning
DEGREES already prepared, as it is said and which
to be promulgated as Is supposed, during the Kings
journey; it is also asserted that these DEGREES have
new Prescriptions and changes in the Administration
for their object, which would lead us to more terri
bic state of rgor than that experienced under the
ministry of Don Victor.

Journey was determined upon on the LIST inst and the
great secrecy observed in the whole transaction seems
to indicate that it will give birth to important events
LONDON Oct l.
The Monteur contradcts the report given by the
other Journals that addition of five vessels Of the
line was to be made to the French squadron in the
Levan and states that it is not the intention of any Of
the three Powere to increase the respective amount of

addressed autograph letter to Count Capo DIsra,
congratulating him on his nomination to the post of
President Of Greece, and expressing his intention to
take decided part in favor of that country. This

carried into effect by the late interference of the Al

any thing beyond what has already been done.
