Correspondence of The N. Y. Tribune.
LONDON, May ~, 1857.
O'DOnnelps speech in the Spanish Senate on the
18Th of May, contains most curious revelations Of
the secret history of cotemporaneous Spain. His
betrayal Of Espartero aud his coup d'etat having
paved the way for Naryaez, the Polaccos, in their
turn, are now trying to rid themselves Of the lat
ter. To this purpose Gen. Calonse, himself a
Christine rebel of ls43, and the Captain-General
of Pampeuna at the time Of the outbreak Of tue
reyOlutionin lc54 was induced on the 18th OF May
during the Senate's debates on the addressto the
Queen, to move a series of amendments to the para
graph recommending a general amnesty. Ia a
yirulent attack on military Instructions in genera
aud ON the military nsurrecton of 1854 in particl
lar, he demanded THAT the policy of Cancellation
should not go the length to encourage, by granting
"absolute IMMUNITY, iHoorrigibte perarbers." This
stroke, premeditated BY the friends of Sartorus,
was aimed at ODOnnell as we'll as at the Duke ot
Valencia (Naryaez). The POlaccos had, IN
fact, ascertained that O'DOnnell would sein
upon the first occasion 10 den0unce Naryaez
his secret accOmplice in the insurrecti0n d
the camp of the Guards Such an OpportunIy
vas, accordingly offered 10 ODOnnell by General
Calcnge. To prevent the threatened explosion,
Narsez yentured upon desperate maneuyer. de-
the man of order, justified the revolution OF lsoi
which, he said, was inspired by the Oftest pafflot-
"hm, ard provoked by the excuses Of the prece'
ding cabinets" Thus, at the very m0meat that MI
de NOceda the Minister of the Interior, was pro-
posing 10 the COrtes DracOnian press-aw, Narysez
the chief Of the ministry acted in the Senate a.
the adrocatps diaLoti-the yindcator Of reyoiutsa
and military insurrectiOn. But in vain. during ne
subsequent sitting Of the Senate on the letn @
May, while forced by the Polaccos 10 recant DIS
censUre Of former Cabinets, Narvaez had, al me

revelations the truth OF which be himself admitted,
By g, nplaining that "O'DonDell had revealed Pr

ING "vhat confidence could now be placed IN fneri'
ship" In the eyes Of the Court, Narvaez ID nos

way 10 Bravo Murillo and Sartorius, the sure fore
runters Of a Bew revolution.
