Popular Disaffection-Battle
Between Troops and
Insurgents.

By the Agglo-American Gable.
= LONDON, Sept. 27.-The news reports to hand
in this city from Spain to-day are of exciting,
even alarming character. Popular disaffection
and disloyalty to the existing Government pre-
vail very generally throughout the nation, and
both have again been expressed in the shape OF
an armed counter revolution.
There was an insurrectionary demonstration
made by the volunteer troops in Barcelona on
Saturday night. 1t was occasioned by the re-
ceipt of the Government order commanding the
volunteers to disarm, and an attempt on the part
of the local authorities to enforce it. The fact
that the volunteers of Tarragona who had re-
fused to dsarm previously we're suffering impri.
sonment for the offense was made a cause for an
additional excitement.
In a short time five barricades, one built by
the public cartmen, were thrown up. The cart
mems barricade was assaulted by the regular
troops and carried by bayonet charge, after
very desperate resistance on the part of its de-
tenders and n heavy loss of life.
During the engagement the insurgents had
twenty-four men killed, a large number
wounded, and seventy of their more active
brethren made prisoners The troops had two
commissioned officers killed and several soldiers
wounded. Order was subsequently restored. A
radical republican democratic demonstration is
announced to be made in Madrid during We'd
nesday, the Doth inst More trouble is antic-
pated on the occasion.
Further Particulars of the Fight at Barcelona.

Tarragona assumed radical republican attitude
when ordered to disarm by the Government au-
thorities. Several battalions of the volunteers
in Barcelona also refused to lay down their arms.

the troops, was taken to Tarragona.
At 10 o'clock on Saturday night the govern
ment troops assailed the barricades and charged
their defenders with the bayonet. They defeated
the insurgents. Orders was restored about
o'clock yesterday morning. Many persons were
killed and wounded, both insurgents and troops

The Turco .Egypttan Tf0ubIes-The Grand
Vlzier Against Ihe VicerOy.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Sept. 27.-The semi-official
journal, Turquie, of this city, publishes in its
issue of Saturday a violent article against the
Viceroy of Egypt for his action in resisting the
terms of arrangement with the Sultan embraced
in the second Letter transmitted to his Highness
by the Turkish government through the Vizier,
and also for his proposal TO refer the whole sub
ject matter in dispute between his Imperial
Majesty and himself to the arbitrament of the
European greet overs.
The Grand Vizers newspaper organ objects,
in the name of the Sultan, TO the propositions of
the Viceroy, and insists on the complete accept
ance of the second letter by the latter.
The TUrquie concludes this editorial attack by
recommending the Porte Government to at once
dismiss Ismail Pacha and appoint Mustapha
Tazyl Pacha Viceroy of Egypt.
