MARSEILES, Oct. |.
The Temps has Il letter from Madrid
of the 22d which accords cXacdy with
the accounts | received last week from Il
person Just arrived there.
The capital was quiet, there had been
30 conflict, but there was animation
and uneasiness due to the movement Of
troops and 20 contradictory reports.
The writer says: Yesterday, and even
the day bcfore-the 20th-immcdiatcly
after the proclamation of the state of
seige, troops began TO be sent southwark.
| saw depart, among other corps, the
lst rcgt. of artillery, the Maiorca root.
OF infantry, squadrons OF cavalry, and
Il battalion OF chasSeurS, under Gen.
Pava. The troops sent away have been
replaced here by calling in .he gend
armes, scattered over the Province. We
have now 1000 or s 600 of them. These
'gundias civiles" are rcputed to be es-
pecially devoted to the Government.
AS to the instruction, we know pro-
badly less than you do, for the Govern
ment publishes only what it wishes
made public. 1t aVows the raising of
Seville, Ferrol, Santana, and -antan-
der.
As to the insurrectonary elements at
Madrid, they seem to have orders not
to move at present.
The arrival Of the Queen is alternate
~ announced and contradlcted, and this
causes much comment, and conVinccs
people that there is much confusion in
the official world. 1t is thought a very
serious symptom. 1t is believed that
Marshal Conda insists on her coming,
and that she refuses. Perhaps She re-
fuses to accept certain conditions which
are deemed necessary.
IN connection with the correspondence
may be taken the following anecdote,
given by more than one paper as rcceiV-
ed from san Sebastian: Minister Jose
de la Conclia sent II Mr.. Salamanca to
the Queen to insist upon her returning
Immediately to Madrid with the Prince
of Austuras if she wished to save her
dynasty. But Mr.. Salamanca added
that it was necessary She should sepa-
rate herself from Marfori the rcigning
favorite]. Her majesty is said to have
found that condition unacceptable, and
TO have replied that the Spanish people
were shameful people (pu6io indc-
ccntc), and she was not anxious that her
son should reign over nation Of robbers
andassassins. Rather strong language,
but the Queen is her fathers daughter,
and, moreover, she probably now labors
under considerable evaporation.
a telegram from Bayoune, from per-
son whose previous communications
prove correct says that Lagiona has
pronounced. This was unexpected. 1t
is quite certain that if it be true, Espar-
ters is at the head of the movement
We are reduced TO conjectures as to
how the thing came about.
There was an extremely small mill
tary force at Lageono, and, situated as
that place is, an open Town between
Pampilma and Burgos, neither Ofwhich
Is yet insurgent, it would seem the
height of temcrty for it to hoist the
revolutionary flag. We must suppose
it has received aid from without.
| mentioned above that Brigadier In
estal sent nOrthward against the insur-
gents, was reported to have joined them.
He was very devoted friend of Espar-
tero; perchance he may have deviated
from his route and gone to take his or
ders. Possibly, also, Espartcro may
have had news of Il rising at Saragossa,
which emboldened him to make one at
Lagrona.
A demonstration on his parts impor-
tant because the Queens party have
placed great reliance on his attachment
to the dynasty. At one time it was GER
tainly very strong but it may well have
become impaired by the conduct OF her
To whom he long professed the most I'M
bounded devotion.
Gauzales Bravo, on receiving from
the Queen hint to resign "because cir
cumstances required a Capt.-General at
the head of the Government tele-
graphed to his colleagues at Madrid.
His telegram had not transpired, but it
caused those to whom it was addressed
