Letters from Madrid OF the I'D express fears OF some
pary Violated nsun ectiors taking place in that city or

happen TO the liberal cause All sensible men, who
hope for thing like aopa liberty hereafter should
deprecate 10 the utmost these untimey attempts,
whether made BY mao men or fools by false brothers.
by the clergy or the police The convocation OF the
Cortes lstll mains great subject Of debate every
where and probably more in the palace than anywhere
else. Many people think that Narvaez is the most

Consul Sehor Segovis, is doing everything he can to
disgust the Domnicsns to reduce their resources, to
tie her hands and TO force them into the arms OF the
Americana. The accession TO power OF the present
