Spain-The Revolution Triumph
ant IN the Provinces.

The substance of the latest news is
that O'Donneli, in the name of the
Queen, has triumphed over the insur.
gents in Madrid, but that the Cortes
have removed into Aragon, and thence,
under the command of Gen. Infaute,
their President, intend to make war on
Queen Isabella and her Ministry, in
the name of Liberty and the Constitu-
tiCn.
Tie London Times, and other journ-
ais, state that the outbreak in Madrid
was encouraged by the O'Dopnell par
ty, aud that a force of l3, 900 troops had
been previously collected in and round
the city, ready to crush the insurrection
as soon as it would break out. Against
the force Of $4,000 Iegular troops the
citizens had no chance of success, but
they fought well, and left 200 dead in
the streets. Aragon, however, is the
strong hold of the liberals, and Esparte-
no is very unpopular therein. here
is reason to believe that Gems. Gurrea
and Falcon, Espartero's tried friends,
are at the head of the troops and Ma
tional Guards of Saragossa. Eighty
five members of the Cortes, (more than
oae third in number OF the whole body, J
have. assembled at Saragossa and hold
their formal meetings there.
The following dispatches are the
source from which we have what inform
alton is possessed:
M~ARsEILLEs, Sunday 20th-P. NJ.
The French war steamers Suffren and
Toulson have sailed for barcelona. The
Spanish steamer, which left Barcelona
yesterday, has brought the intelligence
that the rising which took place there
to the cry of Viva Espartero," has
been suppressed. The barricades were
carried. Government pardoDed the in

From the correspondence of Paris
we pick out the following items of intel
ligcnce:
Several French regiments are ordered
to the Spanish frontier, A dispatch
says that tranquility has been restored
in Barceleno, and. the National Guards
of that city lave en>disarRed. There
has been an ih%surrectionary movement
at La Juuquera, but details are not Civ
en-. Nothing is yet known as to the
whereabouts of Espartero. When he
left his own house he went to the resi-
dence Madame Gurrea, mother of his
Secretary. He may have escaped into
the country, although it is more proba-
BILE that the Government has him under
surveillance within Madrid. When the
telegraphic dispatch, announcing O'Don-
nell's accession, reached Saragossa, the
Captain General called together the civil
authorities and the officers of the Ma
tional Guard, and, after two hours de-
bate, resistance was resolved upon.
We take the following from the Mes
sager de B~ayonne of the 19th:

Some few National Guards, who took
part in the early stage of the combat,
and afterward were forced to abandon
their barbados have found means to
come to Bayonne. The following is a
summary of the news brought by them,
the authenticity of which we do not, o:
course, guarantee:
