From the Journal des Debats (Paris), Oct 28]
There exists at Madrid . committee OF the Ma

has the pretenson Of being the most sincere express
sion OF popular opil ion, and which presents its

the Msrshal win comply with its desires, whenever
It shall intimate them to him. It il this committee

and their Outrsges, snd often they ii treat them
These men constitute themselves cocks OF the walk,
and bear down the real people. Madrid belongs to
