MADRID, June 25.-The overcharged political
atmosphere that has so long hung over Madrid has
at length burst forth INTO a storm of insurrection
more violent than any that has disturbed this
try ior the iast twenty years Inc ministry mas been
cuaed of raising alarm in order to divert the atten
hon of the public from internal affairs and afford
pretext for repressve administrative system. But
their warnings and fears so often expressed are now
justified 100 well.
OF horse artillery revolt IN their barracks IN
the san Oil quarter. The movement had been planned
among the men and tneir non-commissione officers
without the cognizance OF any OF the superior Off
GERS, as tar as Is yet ascertained. The mutlneers
rushed IN the first place TO the officers quarters in
order to prevail upon them to on tne revolt but
unsuccessinly. Thereupon fifteen were at once shot
down, and the proceeded to fortly the barracks
against attack They possessed themselves OF twenty
SIX guns, deposited in arsenal attached to the
barracks, and planted them IN the most advanta.
geOus positions for defense.
The alarm soon spread throughout Madrid and a
large body OF troops, collected from other barracks
in the CITY and commanded by Generals OF all
shades of po itIcal opinion, were rapidly set in
motion for the scene of the disturbance. Upon
reaching the San Gil quarter it was found that the
insurgents had been joined by large body OF pea
santry, who erecting barricades the sur
rounding streets. having been supplied with arms
and guns by the revolted soldery To dIslodge
them the Ioyal troops were compelled to bring up
artillery and commence regular cannonade which
lasted some three or four hours.
The insurgents replied vigorously, and it was
only after most determined contest that the Darrl-
esoes were carried at the poin[ OF the bayonet at
tnued during the rest of the evening and into the
night by a body Of insurgents posted in block OF
houses, the Postigo Oe San Martin, who maintained
a fire upon the troops from the windows. Finally,
however, early ON the morning OF the 2Sd, order
was completely restored, and the Government
ma ned wholly master OF the field.
The struggle was OF the most desperate and san

The loss OF the royal troops not yet stated but it
ust have been considerable. Two generals were
the Moderado chieftain, who was most active In
supporting the efforts OF his political rival, Marshal
O'Donnel, to restore order, was slightly wounded.
The insurgents raised shouts of "ViUa Prim,"
"VtUd la RepubttcG."
General Prim is strongly believed to have been
one If not the chief of the consprators by whom the
present attempt was organized, q belief which de.
rives strong ground from the fact that General
Pierrad companion of PIim IN his late revolt, was
among the Insurgents.
Immediately after the outbreak had been quelled
the province of New Castlle was proclaimed IN q
state of siege and the civil Governor OF Madrid, the
Duke Of Sesto resigned his authority into the hands
OF the Military Governor, the Captain-General
Nearly two thousand arrests have been made of
the Insurgents and their abettors in Madrid, and
have already been tried by court martial and shot
A proclamation has been issued ordering the sur
render to the authorities OF all arms which the
owners have not special license to keep, and re-
quesng the inhabitants to keep their houses lighted

will be summary dealt with according to martial
