MADRID, Monday June s-Evening.
The session of the COrtes last night one of the
stOrmiest on record. Owing to the confusion which
prevailed in the Chamber the closing of the doors
a portion of the time, by which the reporters were
excluded and the late hour of adjournment the
morning papers were unable to obtain complete or
correct reports Of the proceedings, and many false
rumoTs in consequence obtained currency. The
statement among Others, that the Ministry proposed
by Scnor ri Margall was approved, rs incorrect.
The house finally rejected his Ministry and called
on Senior 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 proclaim
ing the Republic, adjourned until the evening, for
the purpose Of completing the formation of new
Ministry At p. IN. the House reassembed, and
SENIOR Figueras opened the debate He advised
the Republicans 10 be united and warned them that
divisions in their ranks would prove fatal to the
cause they held dear. The question then came up
whether the Ministry proposed by Senior ri y Mar
gall should be voted bloc or separately. An ex-
cited discussion followed, which was accompanied
with frequent scenes Of confusion.
Amotion was made to go into secret session. Senior
CASTELAR, protested. The COrtes, he said owed it to
the country that their proceedings should be pub
lie. Senior ri 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 uprOar fol-
lowed and could only be silenced by Senior Fgueras,
who rose to move that the Ministers be directly
chosen by the Cortes The motion for a secret sit
ting was then renewed and adopted; and at mid
night the galleries were cleared and the reporters
excluded.
Around the palace the streets were filed with an
excited throng, and within the Chamber the great
est agitation prevailed. 1t was rumored at one
time that an armed crowd had entered the palace,
and threatened to break into the hall moreover a
fight between the military and the people in the
streets was momentarly expected. CASTELAR, and
Figueras succeeded in restoring calm in the
Chamber, aud exerted themselves TO good effect in
restraining the populace outside
There being no prospect Of an agreement Of the
Deputies as to the composition Of the new Ministry
Figueras, CASTELAR,, and Margall were successfully
called upon form one; but they either declined or
failed in the task after repeated consultations.
The whole Cortes finally appealed to Senior Figue-
ras to remain in power with the old Cabinet, and he
at last consented.
AT a. IN. the doors were thrown open, and the
galleries were Immediately filed. The Cortes pro-
ceeded to adopt vote of confidence in the Figueras
Ministry and then adjourned.
The proclamation Of the Federal Republic was
celebrated last night at Barcelona with illumina-
tons and general reioicings.
Captain-General Velarde has returned to TOrtOsa
with the troops which remained faithful.
