the Royal troops entered the city without opposi-
ton and disarmed the citizens. No definite par

to have been effected without bloodshed. All
Spain has now submitted to the O'Donnell minis
try. His future policy is not known but 1t il re.
ported that he is attempting to make up the quar-
rel with the Liberals.
Shocking accounts are given of the outrages per.
petrated by the soldiery in the most respectable
houses at Madrid during the brief conflict in that
city fortnight ago. The damage done by the SOL
diers to private property during the conflict was
very great. The Duke de Medina Cell has sent
in a claim to the amount of two millions and q
quarter OF francs account of the destruction of
his pictures and furniture The Countess of Mon
tito, neither Of the Empress Eugene, has written to
Queen Isabella complaining that her house was
pundered and her property destroyed by the roy.
al troops. There are rumors, but evidently found
ed chiefly on surnise, that the O'Donnel Govern
ment will publish constitution of liberal charac-
ter increase the army and either abolish the Nation
al Guard or modify it as to include only wealthy
persons and large tax payers, whosel social po-
sition would be q guarantee for their quiet beha.

On the other hand, private letters from Madrid
represent that O'Donnell 10 firm ON two important
points, that Queen Christina shall not return to
Spain and that the "desamortizacion or sale Of
church property shall be proceeded with, and,
consequently, that there is an increased probabi.
ty of a reconciliation between the new Premier
and the Liberal party. The National Guard Of
Saragossa has been disarned.
The Moniteur publishes the following: "Tran.
guilty having been restored in Spain, the lEmpe-
ror has given orders for the suspension Of all
movements of troops towards the frontiers"
The Spanish Government will increase the
number of the regular army by 1000 men.
A letter from Madrid says:
understand the present advisers of the Queen
of Spain have declared to the Government of the
Emperor of the French that it Is not the inten-
tion of her Majesty or ODonnell to change the

be promulgated which, 1t will be remembered, is
much more restrictive than the majority of Span
iards would hitherto accept As far as can
learn, ODonnell Is now employed in endeavoring
to incorporate the moderate men of all parties In
the interests of government. So much for Off.

unpopular, and the army by no means unanimous
in its support Of ODonnell, whose downfall ere
long is declared to be inevitable.

terrible disaster had occurred at Salonica. On
the 1lth ult. s broke out in Turkish khan in the
Frank quarter, and soon extended itself over the
houses in its vicinity. By the exertions however, of
the Governor, Achmet Pssha, and numerous multi

ready to retire. when fearful explosion took place
in the house Of John Schilizzi, Greek merchant
who had secrsed in it about 200 barrels of gunpowder

AMERICAN AFFAIRS.
The London Times has an article on American
domestic affairs, is particularly severe on Colonel
Brooks, of S. c., and very laudatory of Col Ere
mont. In reference to Gen. Walker, in Nicaragua,
1t says: .....e
We shall be curious to know how the govern
ment Of President Pierce will deal with this revo.
luton. At present, indeed, the two parties stand
drawn up in opposition to each other; and till vic
tory decides for one party or the other, no doubt
they will preserve dignified neutrality. But we
cannot doubt that Walker will triumph. Riyas
and his followers must succumb before the mani
fold destiny of the Anglo Saxon race. In the
course of few months we anticipate that Rivas
and his followers will disappear, and that Walker
will be undsputed dictator in Nicaragua, ready to
extend his influence over the neighboring States
