MADRID, June 9.-The session OF the
Cortez last night was the stormiest on re-
cord. Owing to the confusion which pre-
vailed in the chamber, the closing of the
doors portion OF the time by which reports
were excluded, and the late hour OF ad-
inurnment, The morning papers were una
bic to obtain complete or correct reports OF
the proceedings, and many false rumors in
consequence obtained currency. The state
ment, among others, that the Ministry pro
posed by Senior P. y Margall was approved, IS
incorrect. The House finally rejected his
Ministry, and called on Senor Figueras to
resume the conduct of the government with
his old Cabinet.
The following is an accurate resume of
! the sitting:
The Cortes after passing the resolution
proclaiming the Republic, adjourned until
evening for the purpose of completing the
formation ofa new ministry. At P. NJ
the House reassembled and Senor Figueras
opened the debate. He advised the Repub-
licans to be united and warned them that
divisions in their ranks would prove fatal
to the cause they hold dear. The question
then came up whether the ministers pro
posed by Senior P. 7. Margsll should be
voted on enbloc or separately. An extended
discussion followed, which was accompanied
with frequent scenes of coDfu'ion A
motion was made to go into secret session.
Senor. CASTELAR, protested. The Cortesi
he said, owed it to the country that theil
proceedings should be public. Senior ?. Y
, Margall finally announced that in view OF
the sad scenes of disorder, which he could
only consider as an evidence of distrust, he
would Withdraw his list of ministers.
! Great uprosr followed, and could only be
( siIspced by Senor Figueras, who rose tc
7 / move that the Ministers be directly chosen
, | by the Cortes. The motion for a secret
sitting was tnen renewed and adopted, anC
( | at midnight the galleries were cleared anc
: the reporters excluded. Around the palace,
l | the streets were filed with All excited
tbrong, and within the Chamber the great
est agitation prevailed.
It was rumored at one time that an arm
. ed crowd had entered the palace and threat
: aned to break into the hall. Moreover
fight between the military and the peopl'
in the street was momentarily expected
+. Castalles aud Figuras succeeded in restor
d ing calm in the chamber, and exerted them
8 selves to good effect in restraining the pop
: ulace outside.
q There being no prospect of an agreemen
of the deputies as to the composition OF tbs
new ministry, Figuras, CASTELAR, and Mar
: gall were successiVely called upon to form
Q one, but they either declined or failed il
the task after repeated consultations. Th
; whole cortes finally appealed to Senior Figu
ras TO remain In power with the old cabinet
I and he at last consented. At O'Clock q. m.
n ,e doors were thrown open and gsllerie:
i'm, nediately flied. The cortes proceeded

ministry and adjourned.
