thority. The report which we have received goes even further than this, and speaks of , fraterllization between portion of the garrison and the insurgents. It tells us, too, of a sum mons addressed to the Queen on the mart n Gen. ODonnell, desiring her to resign her crown A regency is mentioned, of which Narvaez should be member, and, if member. ther the sole chief In opposition to the rumors which all come evidently from one source, there IS the poor suggestion, on the other side, that the lnsurgent forces have suffered defeat, and nave retired upon Toledo. The authority for 1nis rumor IS the telegraph, which is in the ,lalos oi the government. It may no doubt oe true, put Tn does not come before us in any way which entities it to any great credit.
 Such are the principal additions to the infor- matlon we published yesterday, which we can lay before our readers to-day. This or that particular event may be misrepresented, but one fact Is abundantly clear-that armed insurrec- ton exists in Madrid and in the provinces and the government has not been strong enough to put it down. In Madrid itself-at the principal seat of government, where, as may reasonably be supposed, the advisers of the Spanish court had gathered together the troops upon whom they could place the most conidence-the in surrection has been able to maintain itself,- There are many officers in and about the cap- tai of great name, but not one of the number has come forward to maintain the throne of Queen Isabella, now threatened with such inn minent destruction
 We are not surprised that these events have taken place; we may be rather surprised that they have been so long deferred. For the last two or three years the Spanish nation has been ripe for lnsurrection and, in all probability, the only consideration which has restrained them from action has been the recollection of the evils under which they have so lately smarted, and the exhaustion of the country consequent upon protracted civil war. Besides, 1t might be very obvious to the mind of Spaniard that such person or such faction deserve to be swept away. but 1t was not so clear that any public parsonage with whom he was acquainted deserved to be set up in his place. By whom had the nation not been plundered-by whom not dragooned and oppressed? Soft is in Spain, and It Is, as respects Spain, throughout Europe She has compelled the world to despair of her. and the fortunes of country which once were of universal interest have fallen so utterly in public estimation that few of the thousands who read the bulletins from the Danube with the deepest anxiety will think it worth their while to give more than glance at the intelligence even of revolution in Madrid.

 The political advices by this arrival are high- ly important and interesting. The indications are tending towards general war more point edlv than at any previous period Russia. it would seem, is determined, despite Austria and all the combined powers, to fight it out, even to the lat man and last rouble She has, it seems, disregarded the summons of Austria to evacuate the princil alities. A collision, there fore, with the Austrian and Russian forces, es- pecially at or near Moldavia, was imminent and confidently expected. The Russians had been defeated on the line of Sereth.
 The Austrian commander-in- chief had pro- ceeded to the seat of war with orders to insist on the evacuation of Moldavia. This refused battle, 1t was expected, would ensue. Aus trla seems in great earnest ill the matter, and will insist upon her demands

 In England, the position of Austria is still looked upon with some distrust, and there are those whose opinions have weight, who think she may yet be working deeply laid scheme against the Turks and allies which at fixed or suitable time may be turned to the arrest of her old friend and aid, the Czar Some think she wishes, by pretext to get safely and firmly fixed in the principalities After which she will disclose favor of Russia, and join her in battle.
