The Paris correspondent of the London
Times in his letter Of the 22d of September, re-
ferriag to the outbreak of the revolution in
Spain, says:
The revolution that has broken out in Spain
is one Of extraordinary gravity. The move
ment is not Of party, but it Is national md
anti-dynastc. In general it has been the army
that commenced the game; this time it is the

been received in Paris saying that Cadiz had
canitulated. The facts of the case are some-
what different. The two men who have OPEN
ed the ball are Captain Malcampo, per-
haps the most distinguished otncer IN the
Spanish navy, now IN command OF tne Ir9a-
clad saragossa, and Gefe de Escuadra Iopete,
(a rank equivalent to commodore or rear I'D
mirall who ful6ls the duties OF the captain
of the port at Cadiz, and has command OF
ali the Spanish vessels OF war lying there.
Malcampo Is ProgreSistd, or decided Liberal
in politics, but has never been mixed up IN any
noiitical affairs or in insure :tions. Topete,
wSo is also one of the best naval officers Spain
possesses, has always been consldered a -hooe,

shades of the Liberal party--al, in short, who

pared at Cadiz, with the exception OF some
battalions Of artillery quartered there, which
could not be got frankly to JOIN the movement.
Malcampo thereupon brought his ron clad just
onposite their barracks, which happen to be
onSte omen to the sea. Our information is as
Vet imperfect but it is likely that the Saragos-

submitted and Joined the insurTeclon. Iher
