The newly elected members OF the
Government took their seats upon the

Figueras then addressed the Assembly.
He said he owed his appointment to po-
| litieal circumstances. He believed that
Orense would have been nominated
had he been present. He promised
that the Spanish people should in future
have the utmost freedom in the choice
Of their rulers and Representatives. He
then read numerous telegrams from the
provinces, showing that public peace
and order had been everywhere pre-
served. He hoped that the republic
would be established forever, and that
Spain would henceforth exercise her
just influence in the affairs of Europe.
He believed that other Latin nations
would not be slow to initiate her
example, the government now chosen
would insure the national integrity.
The Assembly then adjourned. The
President of the COTtes will be elected
tomorrow. The city is quiet tonight.
The revolution will be celebrated by a
grand illumination.
10 A.M-Since six o'clock this morn
ing the dispatches received from Madrid
report no disturbance. There seems to
be a disposition to maintain order and
support the provisional authorities.
Yesterday the two houses of the Cortes
assembled at q late hour, and the formal
message of abdicatiOn was read It'll
states the King has maturely consid-
cred his course. He accepted the
crown under the belief that the
people would support him. He was
deceived. II his enemies were foreign
ers he would not have taken this course.
Spain has been in perpetual disquiet,
and all his efforts to put an end to these
intrigues had been unayailing, and he
had no wish to remain on the throne
as king of his party.
Upon the completion of the reading,
the Senate and Congress met together
and constituted themselves a sovereign
Cortes.
Senor Rivero, President Of the Con-
gress, in brief speech declared himself
ready to answer for the preservation Of
order and the execution Of sovereign de-
crees.
The abdication of Amadeus was then
accepted unanimously.
A commission from the members of
the Senate and Congress was then ap-
pointed to draft reply TO the message
Of Amadeus.
Another commission was appointed
to accompany Amadeus to the frontier.
P. M.-The following from Madrid
has been received: at is believed here
that Riverio, President of the Cortes,
will be elected President Of the Provis-
ional Republic established by a vote Of

lar Army and National Guards Is satis-
factory.
Details of the proceedings Of the Cor

The resolution of Pic was adopted. 1t

pointments and be responsible to the
Government for the execution Of their
DEGREES; that to another Assembly. here
after to be elected, shall be referred the

stitution.
The resolution was divided in several
parts and each part voted on separately.
The provisions declaring Spain Repub-
lie and vesting sovereign power in the
Assembly, were adopted.
The remaining clauses were then Ia
ken 40 for discussion. Salmeron de-

support Of the Assembly. He demanded
that the new Government be elected
before the proposals of Pho were adopted
Reivero answered that President Cor

Of the public peace and order.
