The InsurrectiOn in Spain.

MADRID papers oil the 2Uth ult., the uay
after the outbreak, says:
Yesterday morning, General Dalcc, the
officer who, in lS4l, distinguished himself
in the palace of the Queen at the head of
the Halberdiers, by his noble resistance TO
the insurgent troops, gave orders to all the
cavalry of Madrid to mount their horses,
This he was enabled to do, in virtue Of his
Office as Director and Inspector of the
cavalry. When the regiment had turned
out, he cried ''long live the Queen! Death
to the Minister !" Generals ODonnell,
Ross de Olano, and Messina joined him, as
did also Brigadier Echague at the head of
his regiment. The rebels then left in the
direction of Alcala and Guadalajara, with,
no doubt, the hopes of causing the troops
stationed there to join them.
The generals issued a proclamation to
the troops, in which, while expressing de-
votedness to the Queen, they declare that
it is their intention to re-establish the con-
stitution of 1887. They then drew up
and signed document by which. they bind
themselves to do what their proclamation
announces. The Council 'of Ministers, on
hearing of the insurrection, Immediately
assembled at the Ministry of War, and has
since been sitting permanently. The tele-
graph is sending dispatches in all directions.
Considerable forces have been sent to cut
off the retreat of the rebels.
The Queen, who was at the Escurial
when informed Of the rising, resolved TO
return to the capital the Council OF Min
isters having approved this, her Majesty
set out. She arrived in Madrid at 10
O'Clock in the evening, and the bells OF all
the churches were rung, to announce her
return to the population. Instead OF en-
tering by the barrier of San Vicente, the
royal oortege arrived at the barrier OF Alto
cha, which was the longest route, and
passed through all the town.
The Queen was escorted by all the garri-
son of the capital, including the cavalry
regiment of Villa Visente, which had ar
rived from Aranjeuz just as the Queen
entered the city gates. The population
greeted her Majesty with enthusiasm, and
the Queen seemed much moved by her re-
ception. 1t appears that at the date of the
last news the rebels were between Torijan
de Ardos and Alcala. At this moment q
strong column, consisting of 400 cavalry,
battery of artillery, and four battalions
of artillery are leaving Madrid to pursue
the rebels.
The Heraldo, semi-oficial jourKRl, says:
The attitude of the population during
the whole Of yesterday was admirable
Every one followed his usual occupation,
and every voice blamed the Infamous CON
duct of the rebels. The presence of the
Queen at Madrid is the best pledge of the
maintenance Of confidence.
The same journal expresses the belief
that, as most of the insurgent soldiers
have been deceived, they will soon begin
to desert. 1t adds, that reinforcements
were arriving in the capital The insur-
rection does not apear to have created so
much effect as might have been expected
on the stock exchage, the threes having
closed at 37,4O; on the preceding day
they were at $3.50.
Other accounts mention that two Sena-
tors named Mereno and Collada, had been
arrested on suspicion of being concerned
in the conspiracy. twenty-five battallions
were about to be put in movement against
the insurgents, and General Lara, Captain
General of Madrid, commanded the forces
four .battalions Of the line, four pieces
Of artillery, and 1000 horse, (others say
500), sent against O'Donnell The Cap
tains general of Navarree, Arragon, and
Valencia had received orders to advance
against the insurgents-which would show,
by the way, that the movement is not so
contemplate as the organs Of the Spanish
ministry would affect to suppose.
