hearing that they had moved upon

reached Argsnda on the same evening,
pushed after the rebels, who were fall

Nillarejos, and all but fell in with them
at Fuentiduena. Here, however, the
insurgents, after crossing the Tagus. cut
the chains of the suspension bridge,
which sank in the water, and thus
placed the stream between them and
their pursuers.
The Madrid correspondent Of the
London Times writes on the 5th
At the head Of the insurgents, or at
least at the direction of their move
ments, is, il is now aseertained beyond
doubt, General Prim, who has with him
Milans del Bosch and other officers, his
fellow campaigners in Morocco and Mex
leo. If one could believe his Progress
ista friends, Prim knows very well what
he n about, and has met with full sue
cess, has been Joined by q detachment
Of troops and volunteers, and com
mands a force Of 5000 TO 5000 men.
At Villareios de Sanyanes he had, on
the Sd, ordered 5000 rations. If all
we hear is true, and he has no chance
| Of success in front, he has the open
country in his rear, and the whole of
Aragon and Catalonia, it is supposed, to
support him.
The correspondent adds that a great
panic was occasioned at Madrid, though
the authorities we're very careful TO as
sert that all was quiet, that the mutiny
was Of little Importance, etc. Madrid,
however, was put under martial law,
and an outbreak at Barcelona sup

movement will be successful. He says:
