~1HE SITUATION on JANUARY 5.
Madrid fJan. 81 Cosre> pondeoce London Times
We are here in state OF siege, and IN eyery
probability coon to be btockaded. 1t is dill
cult to collect trustworthy intellIgence-next
to impossible to transmit It,. The government
papers only write to conceal and disguise the
moderate and mostdevoted to the cause Of Or
der, such as the Et.oca-eyen the partlsaas Of
The O'Donnen Ministry, such as-the R<ino, are
seized day by day, come out badly mutilatcd,
and eau only obtain pence By pledsing them
selves not TO publish one line on the only top'c
Of present interest, except at the dlctation Of
the men in power. "
The two cavalry regiments, Baileu and Cal
atr1vn, which nlntiuitd at ArAn5uez and
Gonna on the night from the Cd to the Sd,
marched out Of these two places, headed by

from which thcy could with equal case hayc

the I'D they had already reached Arsauda del
Key, within four leagues OF the capital. 1tWas
probably at this point that they expected
quartered At. Aieala !; but these troops,
instead OF keeping their tryst; obcyed
lie timely orders Of their government
and came into Madrid that same afternoon Of
the Sd. The two cavalry corps, therefore,
fell back from Arganda tn the night, aud
mes, four leagues further. They continued
their backward rna1ch during the dag, al
ways In the ssne direction, til they crossed
the Tagus at Fuentiduena. Tdey had met
With little or no disturbance OF opposition ia
their march. Their two Coloncls, most Of
their officers, and body Of civil guards,
Of gendarmes, did indeed set out in pursuit.
aud endeayored to bring them back by per.
suasion but they were either shot at or re-
ceived with blows, and lad to give up the
attempt.
On drzt being appriscd Of the mutlny. the
Government sent out small column on the
road to A1aniuez, to protect the capitai from
coup de man Of the Insurgents; but upon
hearing that they bad moved upon Chinchon,
they gave orders to Gen. Zabala to 60 forth
and meet them. zabala lett Madrid at
quarter past o'clock p. m. Of the Sd, reached
the rebels, who were falling back before him,
pursued them to Viltare5os, and at last fell In
with them at Fnentidnena. Here, how
t ever, the Insurgents, after crossing
the Tagns, cut the chains Of the sus-
pension bridge which ,,s snnk t,odn IN the W.

| fotds Of the stream, looked round for mate

bridge, and, when he wrote his despatch at
one o'clock yesterday afternoon, vas still
hopeful Of success. In the evening, however,
was described "a marching down stream to
Araniuez, where he could avail himself Of the
bridge and set out again on the track Of the
fuglt1ycs, after, however, circuitons march
Of no less than twelve leagues. So far the
insurgents have certainly given their enemies
the slip and stolen march upon them.
At the head Of the Insurgents, or at least
Mt the direction Of their movements, is, It l.
now a.ccrtained beyond all doubt, Gen. pr1m
