lParia Correspondence of the London Time 8 July 81
The letters Of your Madrid correspondent due
here yesterday and to-day, have not been received
though know from another source that they were
posted at Madrid in the usual manner. can only
conclude that they have been detained in that
capital In the absence, then, Of direct special COM
municaton from place 30 near the scene Of action
and from so perfectly reliable source / have only
to transmit the few facts which have reached me
from various quarters. II appears that General
% wnp % v as was Inspector
the whole, Of the regiments Of that arm, at place
near Madrid, called Campo dc Guardias. II is said
that the men proceeded to the rendezvous in the be-
inspection but thers s reason 70 believe that the
cavalry regiments were well aware of the purpose
for which they were assembled, viz. that they were
TO rise against the government. When they were
all on the ground, General Dulce harangued them,
and ended BY crying out Hfva Ia Reyna' Abejo
los Minisfros!," In which they joined. They then
moved on towards Canaleja, q village about four
miles from Madrid, where General O'Donnell has
himself at their head. accompanied BY General
Ros de Olano, General Messina and Brigadier
Echagne. with the infantry regiment Il believe
that OF the Constitucion) which he commanded. A
terms the sovereignty Of the Queen was admitted,
demanded the re establishment Of the constitution
Of 1887; and = paper TO which these officers put
their signature, declared their intention Of carrying
into execution that engagement. have already
mentioned that the Queen, accompanied by the
ministers, entered Madrid. An order was given
that the bells of all the churches should announce
her arrival Instead Of entering by the gate Of San
gate of Atocha, and had consequently to traverse
the city before arriving at her palace. The minis
telial accounts state that her Majesty was re-
ceiyed with great enthusiasm General O'Don-
nell is said to have with him 1000, 900 reals,
(f200OOl, 10 provide for the first expenses Of the
movement. One account mentions that one or two
officers of the regiment, commanded by Echague,
we're shot by their men for trying 70 prevent the
regiment from joining the instruction. The Min
isterial dispatches state that an engagement took
place between the insurgents and the Queens troops
on the 30th that the loss OF the former was severe
that the garrison remained faithful, and that public
tranquility was not disturbed at Madrid. Another
despatch Of the 30th states that the troops and
the insurgents were in front Of each other at about
league distant from Madrid ; that the &C.
tion had not yet. commenced, but that from
the excellent attitude Of the former success to the
Queens cause was certain; that Madrid continued
tranquil; and that the news from the provinces was
satisfactory" Another desparch Of the I'd from
Madrid, also states that the greaest tranquility
prevailed in that city, that the news from the pro-
yinces was satisfactory, and that the insurgents
we're on their march towards Toledo. A private
letter states that several battalons Of the garri-
son Of Madrid had to be shut up in their barracks
to prevent them joining the insurgents. Owing
to the stoppago Of the correspondence generally,
with the exception Of the Ministerial accounts.
which ] also transmit the intelligence is
lMpellect ana sometimes contrad1ctOryy. One
suspicious circumstance, however, 10, that though
several dispatches speak Of battle having tn ken
place between Alcala de Henares and Torriisn
de Ardos, ~ also Of second action. no definitive
result has been proclaimed. II Is said that the
insurgents suffered severe loss but no action can
take place without loss on both sides; and il q
great advantage was obtained by the Queen troops
and the insurgents dispersed, it ia certain that such
good tidings would be at once communicated. From
the direction at first said TO be taken by the insur
gents Alcaia-it appeared as If they were moving
on towards Aragon, as in Saragossa they might
reasonably hope to Hna auxiliaries Il is now said
that they were proceeding to Toledo whether in re-
treat or not il not stated. IL is not improbable,
however that they are on their way TO Andalusa to
raise that province Up TO the present We have not
learned that any town Of importance, indeed that
any town, has as yet "pronounced' for the insur
rection. Several Spanish refugees, who haye been
residing in France have already left for the frontier
for the purpose Of entering Spain, and these
speak very sapgunely Of the ultimate success
Of the movement. or the associates Of General
