done so, the insurrection would have been nipped

General Don Leopoldo O'Donnell, Count de Luce
ma is the mead and front of tie insurrection; he is
an old officer Of the Spanish guard, and renowned
for his courage. He made himself famous in the
seven years war against Don Carlos and was one
OF the first to attach himself to the liberal and con-
sttutional monarchy Of Isabella After the war,
command was confided to him in the northern pro-
yinces. In ls4I he seconded the movement against
the regency Of Espartelo, which, not succeeding,
ODopnel left Spain, but he returned two years after
when Espartero had fallen; he was then nominated
Captain General of Cuba. After this he became tur-
not scrupe to entrust him with the important func
lions of Director General Of cavalry, from which,
however he was subsequently dismissed by Murillo.
In February last he was ordered by the Queen into
exile, but secreted himself in Madrid; and it is now
known that the ovement was to have taken place
on the 25th instead Of the 18th Of june O'Donnell
during the three nights which preceded it, abso-
lntely walked about the streets Of Madrid in full
uniform, waiting for the favorable moment. He
possesses, is sad very large fortune, and makes
four.
General Dulce, the other rebel spirit, formerly
commanded the habardiers, who were on Guard
near the Queen and the Princess her sister, on the
memorable 18th of October 1871. He supported, in
this quality the attack made on the royal apartment
by the authors of the instruction, who wished to
carry on the Queen, in order to remove her from
the influence Of Espartero. He belongs to the pro-
grcfsist party, but Is popular with all.
Colonel Echague, who has joined O'Donnell and
Dulce, is not much known. He served with dis
tinction under General Lersandi, and entered the
army in 1884. He took part in all the principal
combats OF the war Of succession, and obtained all
his grades in the field OF battle. He had with him
at Madrid one battalion, which is about four hum
dred strong; but he carried Off the regimental
chest, In. which were one million Of francs. This
money will, Of course, be no unimportant resource
The Gear has sent Colonel Isakof to Dresden with
an autograph letter, thanking the King of Saxony
for the part he has taken in the Bamberg Confed-
Grafton, and the Colonel has mission to make
similar compliments to every member Of that same
confederation. Unfortunately-s says the Mont
feur-the parties are not particularly pieased with
the imperial gratitude, and look upon It baving
tendency to compromise them with Austria and
Prussia. Colonel isakop has, therefore, been re-

PALACE OF ST. Ctoup, July 8, 1854.
MY DEAR PRrycE-I am one of those who are called
upon to take the largest share in the cruel loss which
you have just met with; your mother all times

children has never failed therefore unite 10 the
just and profound grief Of the family, with the feelings
which You know entertain for it. and the expression Of
which renew to YOU NAPOLEON.
The Empress also wishes me to express to you her SEN
timents on this fatal event.
AT the funeral, the Emperor, Prince Jerome and
the Princess Mathlde were each represented. Mar
shals Magnan and Harispe, with all the staff at
Paris and the Hotel des lnvalides, were present.
After the religious service the funeral cotege went
to st. Leu Taverray, whose church contains the
tombs OF the father Of the Great Napoleon Louis
King of Holland, and Of the two brothers Of Napc.
leon the Third. The body Of this distinguished
lady was then placed in the vault, which already
contains those of her two sisters.
The members forming the jury Of the French In.

him of the desire which be has throughout
