SPAIN. THE INSURRECTION.  The following telegraphic despatches from Spain were received in Paris this morning, from which it appears that the insurrection is not diminishing, but is actually spreading : " PERPIGNAN, July 15.—The garrison and town of Barcelona have pronounced against the Government.  " The troops of Navarre and of Guadalaxara have taken the initiative, and been supported by the loud acclamations of the people. The military governor has headed the movement, which has obtained the adhesion of the Captain General. The troops and populace rent the air with cries of 'Long live the Constitution !"Down with the Ministers !' and ' Down with Queen Christina !' " " BARCELONA, July 16.—The disaffected have profited by the general disorder in which this town is placed, and have set fire to a great number of the shops. They even assassinated one of the proprietors, as also his son ; as likewise a master's mate. Yesterday three or four other persons were murdered. Military precautions are now being taken, in order, if possible, to prevent further disturbances." _  " ST. SEBASTIAN, July 17.—Two battalions of the regiment of Bourbon, in garrison at this place, have pronounced, and have issued a very sensible proclamation. O'Donnel, the Commandant General, and Gupuscoa, the colonel of the regiment, and the principal official functionaries of the town have been arrested. A corps of artillery has aided the insurrectionary movement. The general population, however, have not rendered any assistance to the rebels ; and the town remains tranquil." The following letter from Madrid is given by the Moniteur  "MADRID, Jury 11.—According to news published by the Gazette and the Madrid journals, the regular troops of the insurgents, after having concentrated themselves at Manzanares, having taken the Andalusian road, and must to-day have entered the Sierra Morena by DespenaPerros." We find in the Bulletin the following proclamation of General O'Donnell, which was published on the 7th at Manzanares, a small town of La Mancha, near Ciudad-Real :  " Spaniards ! the enthusiastic reception which the liberal army obtains from all the populations ; the resolution of the soldiers who compose it, and who acted heroically at Vicalvaro ; and the applause which has everywhere greeted the news of our rising, assure from this moment the triumph of that liberty and the laws which we have sworn to defend. In a few days the greater part of our provinces will have shaken off the yoke of the tyrants.; the entire army will have ranged itself under our flag, which is that of loyalty ; the nation will enjoy the benefits of the constitutional regime, for which we have uselessly shed up to this day so much blood, and have supported so many costly sacrifices. The moment has come for declaring what we have resolved to do on the day of victory. We desire the preservation of the throne, but without a camarilla which dishonours it ; we desire the rigorous execution of the fundamental laws, and an amelioration of the law on elections, and of that on the press ; we desire the diminution of taxes founded on strict eoonomy ; we desire that in civil and military employments the rights of seniority and those of merit shall be respected ; we desire to wrest the communes from the centralisation which devours them, and to give them the local independence necessary for the increase of their prosperity ; finally, as the guarantee of all these advantages, we desire to establish the national militia on solid bases. Such are our intentions. We state them frankly, without desiring to impose them on the nation. The Government juntas which will have to constitute themselves in the free provinces, the general Cortes, which will have to assemble without delay, the nation itself, in short, will establish the definitive bases of the liberal regeneration to which we aspire. It is with these sentiments that we consecrate our swords to the national will, and we swear not to replace them In the sheath until our object shall be attained. " LEOPOLDO O'DONNELL, Count de LIICANA, General-in-Chief of the Cor.stitutional Army."  FR
