Progress of the Revolution.
The London Star of Oct. 3 remarks:-
Further intelligence from Spain testiaes to the
complete organization of the movement. This
is shown no less in the care with which the
rising in the capital was timed by Senor Rolero,
who had the direction there, than in the extreme
moderation with which the population, excited
as they must naturally have been, have used
their victory. The rifles distributed In Madrid
are being called in nov there Is no further use
for them, and not only was the palace of the
Queen respected, but an inventory is being
made of the furniture, which must be pretty
heavy, or the Queen would certainly have
taken it with her out of Spain as she seems to
have taken everything else. The only serious
riot that has yet taken place was that in BARGE
Iona on Tuesday night, when the populace
burnt the Queens efigy and sacked the Hotel de
Vile. The consequences might have been very
deplorable but for the timely fear that seized
the royal general, Count de Cheste, and caused
him to retire after he had made an Intellectual
attempt to subdue the rioters General Prim Is
expected to arrive in Barcelona to-day. Various
schemes of Government now begin to be dis
cussed and proposed. A republic has been at
last spoken Of but in no very influential quarter.
Details OF the battle of Acolea have still to
come to hand. The latest report is that the
engagement was warm one.
Riots i'm Barcelona.
A telegram from Barcelona, dated the lst of
October, reports; ;-Serious disturbances occurred
here on Tuesday night. The Hotel de Vile was
sacked by an excited mob, who burnt the
Que portrait and the recruiting papers. The
more orderly part of the population dispersed
the mob. A democratic procession afterwards
paraded the streets in honor OF General Prim,
an0 broke the windows of the Captain-Ge Generals
residence The gendarmes thereupon fred,
woundiDg two persons, and the people ran
Immediately to find arms, in order to attack the
royal palace. A Provincial Junta was at once
organized, but the Cnptain-General, Count de
Cheste, refused to recognize it, threatened to
shoot the members, and caused all the principal
parts of the town to be militarily occupied.
Finally, however, the Captaln-General took
flight last night with single battalion of
infantry, and the Junta remained masters of the
town. The troops and the people fraternized,
and proceeded to destroy all the insignia of
royalty. Colonel Pierrad is expected here.
The Battle of AIcOIea.
Mudrid (Sept. 29) Cor. of London Times.
The official bulletin says that yesterday the
first encounter took place between the troops OF
the Marquis of Noyaliches and those of Marshal
Serrapo, Duke de la Tore, at the bridge of
Alcolea, two leagues from C0rdova, but that,
as the engagement began late, the forces of the
MARQUIS OF Novaliche5 encamped on the very
ground they had occupied" The meaning of it
is that Novaliches made an unwilling and feeble
attempt against the bridge and that, upon
first repuse, he gave up what never seemed to
him p1 Practicable undertaking. 1t is said that as
it can be revctualled by sea. Twenty officers
of the, royal regiments, two OF whom are
Colonel Duesmet was killed in front of the
cathedral. All was over at len minutes past A.
Execution of ROyaIists.
At half past 4(September 26) General Calonge
entered Santander. The Civil Guard, dispersed
IN the various quarters examined from top to
bottom all the houses from the balconies of
which the troops had been fred on, and TO save
the trouble OF court-martial every citizen who
was found with arms in his hand was instantly
brought out and shot. The General reports
loss of 900 killed or wounded on the royal side
and 300 on that of the insurgents. The staff
suffered very heavily. Commander Don Jose
Osorio and more than twenty officers were
killed; Brigadier Magenys, aid-d-camp to the
King Consort, received a bullet in the leg,
which will necessitate amputation.

The grave events that have occurred in Spain
during the last two days are known only by
telegraph, and details are still wanting, The
engagement expected tor some time past, and
which was thought would be decisive, occurred
on the 28lh of September between the troops
under the Marquis de Novaliches and those led
by the Duke de la Tore. The Madrid Gazette
of the 29th ult announcing this battle, while
admitting that General Pavia was wounded,
atirms that he remained master of the field.
However, some agitation has risen in the
capital, and the Government, by proclama-
tlon, requests the inhabitants to maintain order.

Alcolea and the events which Immediately fol-
on the information given by the Marquis de
Novaliches himself, when he reached Madrid in

composed of men representing the various
parties who have taken part IN the movement.
This body, which at present governs the city OF
Madrid, is presided over by Nj. MadoZ. General
Prim and Marshal Serrano are expected. Much
excitement was manifested ON the evesing OF

From The Opinione NationGLe, Oct l.
II Is the revolution OF disgust. 'We
desire" said chief Of the movement at Cadiz
"that hencelorth we should be able to avow the
causes which influence the political changes in
our country, without blushing before our mo-
theirs, our wives, and our daughters" Spain,
dishonored by the Meneces and the Marforis by
the Patrocinios, by the nuns, by the stockjob-
bers and the faVorites, to day casts off this bur-
den OF shame. ''She wishes at length to live the
life OF honor and liberty" The revolution has
been accomplished by the common action of the
three parties, vicalvarists, progressists, and
democrats by the accord of the people and the
army. The conscience of the Spanish nation has
condemned the Queen and her dynasty, and this
ancient monarchy has disappeared ia a riot of
eight days. Only yesterday the Spanish people
counted for little or nothing In Europe. To-day
1t has resumed Its rank. European democracy
