Events in Europe of warlike character are
so fast Fastening upon each other, that it may
we'll be said, of all Europe. as it is Of France =
ia fampreru est cOusfd,nment d Pordre az
jour. We have now the news Of q serious out
break in that miserable country, Spain, which
up TO this time, threatens to overwhelm the
government in absolute disgrace. I will give
you the news to the latest dates we have, all
communication by mail having been cut off for
two days past.
On the 9th ultimo, the disaffection Of the
people led to an open resistance. aud at the
head of some two thousand cavalry, General
O'Donnell, assisted by Gen. Dalce, marched
out from the garrison of Madrid, aud took po-
sition near the city. From that period up to
the 2sth the accounts on our side, report
some warm work. and on the other nothing
sada weut out with some of the trooDs who had
remained faithful, amounting to two brigades,
to attack the Insurgents, and was vigorously
driven back to the city, with considerable
loss. On the next day the Minister Blassr in
his turn went ont at the head OF all the Queens
troops, and commenced an attack ut O'Clock,

closely besieged by the insurgents, formed
themselves into squares. Against them Col
Galligos of the Insurgents, maze a furious
charge, when the squares broke, and dis
charged five pieces Of artillery into the
ColoDefs ranks. Galliios was taken prisoner,
but Gen. O'Donnell instantly rallying his men,
attacked the infantry, rescuing Galljjos from
their hands, aud selling all their artillery. At
ter this, the Queens troops retreated into the
city, leaving large number Of dead and
wounded on the field. The loss to the insur-
gents was inconsiderable. Among the wound
ed of the regulars was Gen. Messina.
The news from the Provinces indicates ge-
neral rising against the government. Valencia
and Andalusia are said to have declared against
the government. as also Navarro. Valla1olid,
Saragossa and Biscay are sending 10 forces to
aid the insurgents.
This news comes through reliable source,
more to be relied upon than the papers gene
rally. What it is to end in is hard to foretell
Gen. O'Donnell is unquestionably one of the
strongest men and the ablest military COM
mander of Spain, and it cannot be supposed he
has beaded this movement unprepared by pre-
v.ous arran gcments extending beyond Madrid
and its vicinity. He is the same man who was
formerly Captain General OF Cuba, aud di-
rccted the construction of the Notifications of
that island. The opposition is of course only
70 the pre- ent government, and does not look
TO republic; yet it shows the horrible con-
dtion of things in that unhappy uatry.
The effect of this risngiD Spain at this period
is serious in connection with other nations At
any other time it would not amount to much,
rs assistance from the neighboring States could
soon succeed in quelling it. But while Fraace
would fain take part in the game, her head and
hands are full Of chastisements to bully ing
Russia, az she is called. And but for the fear
full consequences of rebellion at this time in
Europe, France would rejoice at the downfall of
the present dynasty in Spain. England, too,
has no heart to sustain Isabella. Yet the inc
v.table tendencies of republicanism have driven
France and England into on alliance, which
though unnatural in itself is potent for the pro-
lection OF roy atty, and in the event of final sue
cess against Russia will be formidable towards
repnblicanism even on the western hemisphere,
and they cannot and dare not hope success to
even the insurgents of Spain. It is boldly sug-
Gested that this rebellion in Spain is the work
of Russian diplomacy, and not few predict in
it serious CAUSES of trouble to the allied powers
before ID is over.
The last news from Vienna puts diff rent
coloripg upon the state Of affairs 10 the East
from that carried to you by the last steamers.
Russia has not agreed to evacuate the Princi-
palities out OF politeness to Austria, but has
given the allies to understand, in language ca
pablo Of no misinterpre'atioo, that she yields
nothing. Her withdrawal from the Wallachian
provinces is only strategic movement, the
better to concentrate her forces, aud prepare
herself for grand coup de main, in which
her power will be the more severely felt.
The English and French were in ecstasy at the
n, VS. Of treaty between the Porte and Aus
tria, by which the latter was to occupy the
Principalities. Only now, however, they dis
cover that this treaty was in fragrant contra
ventlon OF the terms between the allies aud
Turkey by which Turkey was not to treat with
out their concurrence, and the press of London
aud iaris begin 70 den0uDce the Turks ul-
measured terms, and 10 inquire seriously ii the
occupation by Austria il whit better or in
fact aDy thug else than an occupation by Rus.
