THE INSURRECTION IN SPAIN | : : vs Hy thin of much importance to that which is already before : | readers. It seems probable that for the time, at least, Gene /O’ Donnell wiil succeed in carrying out the coup d'etat far as we can ascertaia, although it is clear the accoun which reach us cannot be wholly relied upon, the ¢y lp main faithful to Queen Isabella, and in many places One tes was supposed disturbances would have taken plaee, the} of the mevement seem to have abandoned for the present intention of resistance. There is no doubt, however, a ‘strong feeling of dissatisfaction exists in many parts of 7 with the present state of affairs, and there is uo saying or how soon fresh troubles may break out.

The Spanish capital was perfectly tranquil, and the to give up arms had been so promptly responded to, that muskets were delivered more than had been distributed f National Guard. Malaga and Granada were said to be sti against the new government. 1t was thought probable tha the present Cortes would not be called on to meet again, The publication of the official political programme of the Ministry has been postponed until the entire pacification of the king dom had been effected. ‘The Queen has refused to accept thy resignation of General San Miguel as captain-general of the ' Halberdiers. The entrance of M. Miguel into thee. binet in the post still vacant is spoken of ss likely ; he be longs to the Progressionist party. General Crespo is to lp removed from the command of the Philippine Islands, ang the Marquis de Solena is spoken of to replace him, A letter from Madrid states that the Moderadoes were maki efforts to prevent the re-organisation of the National and that the Progressiouists were not agreed as to the which they ought to observe with respect to Marsha O'Donnell.

The Gazette publishes the subjoined despatch :—* which bad followed the insurrectionary movements, fag re. turned to obedience to the Government. Tranquility hag been re-established in Murica. The rebellion is confined a Saragossa, and at Terrucl, in Aragon, and those two are surrounded by troops, who will establish the authority of the Jaw. In the province of Grenada, there-are still sume towns in insurrection, but there is little to be apprehended in ‘that quarter. The arrest of General Blanco atJaen, by the | insurgents, has caused the only difficulty, but measures have ‘been taken to remedy it.” ‘The same despatch eonfirms the grant of five days by Genera] Dulce to the Saragossa insur. | gents. | The new Colonial Ministry has resamed itsfanctions.

question of modifying the Cabinet, nor shall there be, until the pacification of the kingdom is comp'ee. It is now cer. tain that the Cortes will not be re-assembled. nor the Madrid National Guaid re-organised. The pronunciamente at Malaga may be looked upon as at an end ; the municipality and provincial assembly of Cadiz have been dissolved. The public funds continue to rise. | The Madrid journals of the 24:h have reached us. The Government has dismissed Colonel Villar, commander of the artillery. one of the deputies of the Cortes belonging to the meeting of the 14th, and who did not subsequently present himself to the military authorities as ordered. The Govern /ment has also decided that all the persons at Saragossa, | Teruel, and other places, who have taken part in the insur ‘rection, shall be dismissed, General Prim has arrived at Madrid.

The Epoca contains the following :—* The insurrection in In vain have two free corps

Hon. P. M. Vankoughnet, the ou/sider, who has no seat in the Assembly, is President of the Executive and Minister of the Burran of Agriculture. Sir Allan Napier NeNab held the last mentioned office previously. Sir Allan having formed the previous administration was premier, while in the present case Mr. Tache gets the moveable tithe. Mr. Perrill takes the Attorney G yneralship for Lower Canada, vice Mr. Drummond,

who resigned on the frivolous pretext of the leadership’s being |

given to Lower Canada, in the lower branch of the legislation, in the person of the Attorney General, (West.) There have been a few minor shuffles—hon. gentlemen swopping places— not worthy of remark, further than that when a number of assembly inep are called to take officapand go to the polls for the country’s approval of their acceptance of office, there exists a law to the effect, that after the people have pronounced their verdict by returning such men to the several offices, the duties of which they have been called upon to fulfil, the

members of that ministry then may, at their option, and as |

often as it seemeth for the country’s good, swop offices with-

out submitting to their constituents for an approval of the)

trades. The present ministry have not, therefore, gone to the polls, with the exception of the new blood infused; and

one of their number, Mr. Vankonghnet, has yet to find a|

representative, mean enough to resign, in order to give him a chance for his election. On a reperusal of mine of 14th ult. to you, I opine that ywasibly some of your readers may draw from my remarks that 1 look upon Mr. Hincks as a traitor to the cause of the Liberals—political reformers. Not so, however. Mr. Hincks certainly began well; went on for many years, well; but can his warmest admirers say that he ended well, either as far as Canada is concerned, or the fame of the cause and principles he advocated in the beginning of his political career. Aiter having, by the mighty influence he wielded, passed many useful reforming legislative enactments, and after haying success- fully governed Canada for a considerable length of time, (for his hand directed all our affairs during his incumbency,) we find him growing weary, as it were, of the occupati m of legislator, and turning his attention to matters of speculation in a business way, thus taking a political recess, just asthe New Yorkers do during the “heated term,’’ when they ieave business in the city, and go. to the countrv, the springs, &c., to rusticate or ruralize. We see him winking at, if not

And now his son, Solicitor General Smith, thinks,as he ig in office, he will turn the tables, with | the assistance of his friend, the Attorney General, upon Mr. Brown. It is a failure, and only further serves to diserace that hideous conglomeration—the present Canadian ministry. ' And Mr. Brown has the sincere and heartfelt thanks of united Canada for purging that institution—the penitentiary.
