MADRID, Feb. IL, 1871.
The principal question that now occupies the at
tenton OF the government and is the theme OF
conversation here. and, in fact, all the Penin-
sula Is tho refusal or Generals Duke dc Montpen.

Count de Cheste, SAM, Calonge, Contreras Irlllo
Lacy, Blaser, sandoval, Nouvilles ana upwards OF
200 officers to take tho required oath OF
fidelity to the new King Amadeus. II
appears that the government Is resolved to
all the force ut command to compel oil officers
to take the said oath, and, on the other hand the
generals and other officers before mentioned seem
equally determined on their part to resist what
appears to be arbitrary measure and opposed TO
the new constitution. Among the marshals and
generals Will be observed the names or men wha
have held the highest ollces OF stato and. though
now In opposition to the present order OF things.
