MARsEILLEs, September oath, 1868.
The Temps has letter. from Madrid
of the 22d, which accords exactly with
the accounts 1 received this afternoon
from person just arrived thence. The
capital was quiet, there had been no con-
fict but there was animation and un-
easiness, due to the movements of troops
and to contradictory reports The
writer says: yesterday, and even the
day before, the Goth, immediately after
the proclamation of the state of siege,
troops began to be sent southwards. II
saw depart among other corps, the 1st
Regiment of Artillery, the Majorca Reg
iment of Infantry, four squadrons of cav
FAIRY and a battalion of chasseurs, under
General Pavia. The troops sent away
have been replaced here by calling in
the gems d'armes scattered over the prov
ince We have now 1000 or 5000
of them. These guardiers civiles are re-
puted especially devoted to the Govern
ment. As to the insurrection, we know
probably less than you do, for the Gov
,ernment publishes only what it wishes
known. 1t avows the rising of Seville,
Ferrol, Santana, Santanda. AS to the
insurrectionary elements in Madrid, they
seem to have orders not to move at pres
ent. The arrival of the Queen is alter
nately announced and contradicted, and
this causes much comment, and con-
yinces people there is much confusion in
the official world. 1t is thought very
serious symptom. 1t is believed that
Marshal Concha insists on her coming,
and that she refuses. Perhaps she re-
fuses to accept certain conditions which
are deemed necessary" 1 aasa 500
In connection with this correspond
ence may be taken the following anec-
dote given by more than one paper as re-
ceived from San Sebastian and which
the Opinion Nationdle thus relates -
Minister Jose de la Concha sent Mr..
Salamanca to the Queen to insist upon
her returning Immediately to Madrid
with the Prince of the Asturias, if she,
wished to save her dynasty. But Mr.
Salamanca added that it was necessary
she should separate herself from Marfori
(the reigning favorite). Her Majesty is
said to have found that condition unac-
ceptable, and to have replied that the
Spanish people were shameful people
| pueblo indecente), and that she was not
anxious her son should reign over ma
tion of robbers and assassins. Rather
strong language, but the Queen is her
fathers daughter, and, moreover she
probably now labors under considerable
evaporation. A telegram from Bayonne,
from person whose previous communi-,
cations have proved correct, says that
1 Lagrona has pronounced. This was
unexpected. 1t is quite certainth if
| it be true, Espartero is at the head of
the movement. We are reduced to con-
lectures as to how the thing came about.
There was an extremely small military
force at Lagrona, and, situated as that
place is, an open town between Pampa-
luna and Burgos, neither of which is vet
insurgent, it would seem the heighth of
temerity for it to hoist the revolutionary
flag. We must suppose that it has re-
ceived aid from without. 1 mentioned
aboutthat Brigadier Questal, sent north
ward against theinsurgents, was report
ed to have Joined them. He is very
devoted friend of Espartero. Perchance
he may have deviated from his route
and gone to take his orders. Possibly,
also, Espartero may have had news of
rising at Saragossa, which embolden-
ed him to make one at Lagrona. A
demonstration on his part is important,
because the Queens party have placed
| great reliance on his attachment to the
dynasty. At one time it was certainly
| very strong, but it may well have be-
come impaired by the conduct of her to
whom he long professed the most un-
bounded devotion. se..-e-
Gonzales Bravo, on receiving from the
Queen a hint to resign, "because circum-
stances required Captain-General at
the head Of the Government" tele-
eraphed to his colleagues at Madrid.
His telegram had not transpired, but it
caused those to whom it was addressed
to leave Madrid instantly, in the clothes
4 they stood in, and without the incum-
brances of baggage. '' 70 -''-E
Further I can, only tell you that the
revolution party are more than ever con-
fdent of the success of the anti-dynastic'
movement. 1-.
