The night was advanced and all was still It was
presumed that Espar. went to some one to inform
the Queen what was going on. O'Donnell went to

manned awake and we're not Idle. Four horses, sad

camp Of ODonnell Of that name) in an
hour and half after rode ont Of Madrid, enveloped
in a cloak and travelling hat, by the Paerta de

Up to the date 1T which the letter was written no
more particulars were known than those now give,

night of tie 18th nothing reS had occurred.

coed from very good source-it would seem that
the present affair Is little than repetition of

two members Of the Cabinet az iinst the libe

party to it. Her Majesty has acted with her usual
cleyerress-she always affected TO hate O'Donneil
