A REVOLUTION IN SPAIN.

By the late news from Europe, we learn
that an instruction ofquite formidable
nature had taken place in Saragossa.
The insurgents for considerable time
held the castle of Aljaferia and other
strong position. A Brigadier Horse Re
giment revolted, and the Captain General
attacked them with three columns of In
fantry and some cannon. Several horses
were killed, but the insurgents retained
possession of the castle that night, but
the next day, losing courage they re-
treated, and the royal troops took pos
session of the city, and some cavalry
pursued the fugitives. The city was
placed under martial law and disarmed.
Madrid and the whole province is
placed in a state of siege. Catalonia
was quiet, but the news from Arragon
excited the country greatly.
The instruction in Saragossa was to
have broken out on the 5th inst, but
exploded prematurely. The details are
very obscure, the papers being prohibited
from publishing the facts.
General Concha is deeply implicated.
The latest accounts say that the fugi-
tives were joined by the garrison Of
Huesca, and had again made a stand.
Report saws that Narvaez and Espar-
tero are united, and are the real masters
of the present crisis. A general insur.
rection is considered probable.

In a great measure by the high price of
