SPAIN.—FRIDAY.—It is quite evident that the in- surrection in Spain is making way, notwithstanding the efforts of the Government, to conceal the truth. It is officially asserted that the Republican bands in Anda- lusia and Catalonia have been routed, and that the insurrection may now be considered as vanquished." On the other hand, however, it appears that the Republic was proclaimed on Wednesday at Gandesa la Carolina and other places, that a body of insurgents has started from Tortosa, headed by the mayor, and that the alleged defeat of the rebels in Reus is not confirmed. The law suspending the Constitution was promulgated on Tues- day. During the debate on the measure in the Cortes Admiral Topete said that when the proper moment arrived he should energetically support the candidature of the Duke de Montpensier. Senor Castelar con- demned the endeavour to raise an Italian Prince to the throne of Spain. The Republican minority retired from the Chamber before the vote took place, General Prim urged them to remain in a speech partly of en- treaty and partly angry, intimating that he should regard them as enemies, and that he would meet iron with iron, force with force. Senor Castelar said they might reconsider their determination in deference to judicious counsels, but they would never yield to threats. SATURDAY.—The official despatches published by the Spanish Government affirm that the insurgents are everywhere making their submission to the authorities. The volunteers have been disarmed in all the capital towns of the provinces except Madrid itself, where they have been allowed to retain their arms because they expressed a desire to maintain public order. Intelli- gence derived from non-official sources gives a somewhat different account of the progress of the insurrection. At La Carolina the Republicans are constructing barricades, and preprring for a determined resistance. At Trubix a band of insurgents have seized a manufac- tory of arms and carried off a number of rifles. Martial law has been proclaimed in the provinces of Catalonia, Aragon, Old Castille, Andalusia, Valencia, and Corunna. In Madrid itself the inhabitants have been warned by the police to arm such of their servants as they believe to be faithful, in order to defend their houses in case a riot should break out." At the same time, special precautions are taken to protect against surprise the offices of the Ministry of the Interior, the possession of which would give the insurgents the command of the telegraphs. MONDAY.—The news from Spain confirms the im- pression that the insurgents were gathering strength. While the official reports continue to proclaim the triumph of the Government in all directions, it is quite clear that the Republicans have made a determined resistance at Valencia, Saragossa, and elsewhere. Several Republican deputies are reported to be organ- ising fresh bands in Alicante and Andalusia. Great alarm prevails in Madrid. The Garrison was reviewed on Saturday by General Prim. TUESDAY.—The Spanish telegrams published this morning scate that desperate fighting" is still going on at Valentia, where the Government has sent fresh rein- forcements of troops. In the suppression of the out- break at Saragossa on Saturday there is said to have been i, much bloodshed, the artillery having played heavily upon the insurgents." Two of the insurgent leaders, Cabecillo and Carbajal, have been shot at Ibi. The Government troops are said to have had further successes in Andalusia, Aragon, and other places. The conduct of seventeen deputies of the Republican party who are at the head of insurgent bands has been brought under the notice of the Cortes, and it is anticipated that, after conviction by the tribunals, they will be expelled from the Assembly. Deputy Suner has been abandoned by his partisans, and has taken refuge in France, and Deputy Saler has been killed at Saragossa. Senor Cas- telar has been threatened with assassination by Repub- lican fanatics," and has gone to Portugal. Fears are said to be entertained of disturbances in Madrid, but any rioting, it is thought, would be instantly quelled, as the garrison numbers 10,000 troops.
