Before continuing it ia proper te state that only one officer was with the infantry, and one—zome say two—with the cavalry, none of the rest having bad anything to de with the affair. This news produced a great sensation here amongst the people, in the government and in tke Cortes, so much so that the Ministry hastened to declare under martial law—that is to say, subjecting all criminals to the military tribu- nale—the districts of the captains-generals of Navarre, Burges and Arragon, and immediately asked the Cortes for authority te suspend the guarantees of the mew con- itution, ppress any journal which might in apy way favor the cause of the new Pretender, a1 t- tack that of liberty and the throne of Isabel IT. ‘The discussion of this vote of confidence has been con- tinued since then up to yesterday.
