8 <_ooscunennesessensinnanpiainiiadniasaiaiaie THE SPANISH REVOLUTION. Additional Particulars of the Cabinet In- trigues—Activity of O'Donnell and Zeal of his Friends, SCENES AT COURT, Our London correspondent, writing on July 18, ways — ‘The following is the best version which has peated of the orn of he house, apparently in bad hu Escosura also left in order to allow the other M ters full liberty to decide on who should be the going Miuister. On the choice there was a differe See Zabala, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and one ita Cruz were in favor of Escosura and Lujan. The Duke of Victoria said not a word, and the question was postponed till the following day at an early hour. O’Dovzell told Escosura in the most positive terms that he was notin favor of his revolutionary policy, and Escogura replied that his policy was that of the Duke. (It will give an idea of the popularity of Espartero that when people say£/ Duque,without any addition, it is understood that he alone is meant.) He had observed before leaving the Coun- cil that be was at liberty to mention in the Cortes all that bad occurred, and to explain the motives of his coudect. They both lef the Council, leaving the pression bebind them that they were both to resign. « wight was advanced and all wasstill. It was presumed that Espariero went to some one to inform the Qaeen what was going on. O'Donnell went to bed half an hour afte:wards, bat his friends re- mained awake and were notidie. Four horses, sad- dled and bridled, were led up to the palace of Buena- vista. Two or three servants crept stealthily up, car- oe carey, boots and sabres, and General (not the well known Frencisco Ser- rano, lately Captain General, but an aide-de- camp of O'Donnell of that name) in an hour and a balf after rode out of Madrid, enveloped in a cloak and travelling hat, by the Puerta de Alcala. Some hesitated in believing the fact; it ‘was true, nevertheless; and an aide-de-camp of the Duke (Espartero) raw cim return at 4 o'clock in the morning by the same gate, de Alcala. It was not known positively whither be had gone, but it was more than suspected that it was to Vicalvaro itself, where there were 400 cavalry. The rest of the night passed off well, and a few of his intimate friends re- mained till daybreak in the house of the Duke. The other Serrano (Bedoya) saw early this morn- ing two of our friends, and told them that the garri- sor would in nowise take any Lure in the affair, but remain passive and await the selution of the crisis, and this declaration was made by order of the Cap- tain General Serrano. At 12 o'clock to-day the Council met. Escosura presented his resignation to the Duke, and O'Donnell said he reserved his for presentation in person to the Queer. It be aap that the resignation of Escosura ny accepted by the Queen, but that of O'Donnell not. Up to the date at which the letter was written no more particulars were known than those I now give, and which are carrie up to 4 o’clock in the even- ing of the 13th. AtSo’clock there was another C-binet Council. M. Gomez, who had been spoken of asthe succersor of Escosura, but was caded in, declared that be shouid not accept, as he was de- cided in following the policy of Tscosura. Generals Tafante and Portillo were present, O'Donnell was not; not because he had taken his resignation to the Qveen, nor even that of Escosura. Donnell told every ove on the morning of the 13th that be hid resigned because the Queen had not ed that of Escosura. Up to hour (10 o'clock) on the night of the 13th nothing new had occurred. if the facts thus given be correct—and they oy ceed from a very good source—it would seem that the present affair little more than a repetition of 143; that a conspiracy bas been carried on by ove or two members of the Cabiuet agatnet the libe- ral party, and that the Queen now, as then, wasa party to it. Her Majesty has acted with her usual cleverness—ehe always ‘ailected to hate 0’Dounell end to love Espartero, and the laiter, whose charac- ter, whatever other be his faults, is guilless, has once more fallen the of traitors. Yet it was not from went of warcing, often aud often repeat ed. Espartero sore months aro reveived detailed information of what wes plocting between the Queen, the King and O'Donnell. He refused to believe in so much baseness. ‘What!’ he said, “O'Donnell, whom be had doned for all the wrongs he had done him—the favorite whon he hod advanced when he much needed advancement— the friend in whom he confidea—the colleague whom be trusted, to betray him possible! The King, whore life he had saved when liltle more than a babe in the arms of his nurse; the Queen, over whore invfeney he had watched, in whose cause he bad poured out bis blood, whose throne he had estab- lished, after having driven away the Pretender, who would show no mercy to her or hers, snd whose honor be bad saved since 1554, to eg basely against him in bia latter days, broken by iaGrmities and bard tried by oeeae would never betieve it.” This occurred movths ago. Since the insurrection Espartero’s name has not been Leard. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EST ABTERO ANDO DONNELL In MAD ID. A Paris letterin the Emuincipation, of Brussels, written before the late movement took place. gives some details of interest reiative t. the difference which ted eriven etween Marshals Espartero and O'Doneell, ate which m probably led to the change o ministry After the strange @ h O'VDenoe!! prugent expressions we use of by M which, although they micht well suit a spouting club, were highly objectionable wher the mouth of a Minister addressing assemily.

Escosura :emaining in office, as, if not, her Majesty must make be: cboice between the two Mar- shale, The Queen begged Espartero not to place Ler in a situation of such emburrassment, and it was not antil be had compelled ber to dec de one way or the other that ber Majesty declared that she would never conrent to the retirement of Marshal 0'Don- nell. Eepartero then withdrew, and sent ia his resignation, which was accepted, and it is said that he iamedistely eft Madrid for Logroao.

[From the London Globe, July 18} Whatever non-suecess may have attended impe- ria! Spain in ber attempts at constitutious| govern- ment, in one thing she has been eminently su:cesa- ful—in the imitation of her former colonies in Mexi- co, in Central and Southern America. ‘There a change hefanaings is preceded or tollowed by an appeal to arms. The leader of to-day 1s the exile of tomorrow. The Minister of one week is the leader of insurrection the text. What we do by votes they accomplish by the beyonet and the cannou. The course pursued in the mother country and her tor- mer colonies is strikingly similar. It is hardly two years since General O'Donnell sppeared at the bead of a military insurrect vo. its immediate object was the expulsion of an ex- cessively corrupt winistry; its ultimate aims we can only sarmice, because they were never developed. So long as the insurrection of 1*54 waa a purely military movement the Spavish nation looked coldly on the contest be: weeu whet it had a right to as- sume was one between actual and would be op- pressors. Seeing his chances failing, Genera! O'’Don- neil revived his policy, and by holding out_the bait of constituticual government, and joining Espartero with much appaieut frankness, succeeded in raily- ing the nation to the movement against authority, and in not only ejecting the San Luis Ministry, but in bringing about something like a fundacwental change in the government, or, at least, in reviving, with emendmeuts, a decayed coa- stitution. The alliance between O Donseil and Espartero haz enduied for something like two years. It receutly broke down; the Queen had, we are told, to choose between her oid servant and her wew one; between the hero of the Carlist war aud the late Captain General of Cuba and leader of a mili- tary sevolt. Whether the Queen chose, or ¥ iether she was constraine to choore, O Donnell-- whether Eepartero i ga as some say, or whether he was Giswisacd, 98 others report—are doubtful points. It is equally doubtful on what precise ques- tion or questions the secret rivalry Letween the head of the late government and the Minister of War breke «\t into open apiagonism. O'Dopvell had clearly used Fspartero to forward bis purposes He bad cleerly ingratiated himsel/ with the regular army eng bad not secured the allegiance of the National Guarc. We can weil imagine that the harmony be- een aman of Espartero’s patriotic and_constitn- principles and a man like General O'Donnell, to whom the welfare of General O'Donnell has ever Leen the first consideration, could never have been complete on the side of the latter. Men who made a fortune, as the late Captain General of Cuba made his, do not commonly hold very high eye og of opy kind whereas Espartero, with ail his faults, is the soul of boner and bigh principles. Unrer there circumstances those disgrace/u! riote cecurred at Valencia, Vullidoiid, Rieseco, Burgos and cther places, which ©’Donne'l did not hesi- tate tc dennppace as socialist in their origin and sims. What their precise origin and tendeacies were we ere not informed. It is not improbable that ngs may have been used as a pretext, by fer demanding some such measure as trent of the National G ; and never buve consented to sucha step. that msey, on Monday Esportero resigned, and ©'Depneli appeared as the bead of a Catinet io which sowe very old bands and an agent o: reappear. Fret this point there is considerable obecurity in the intelligence that has reached us. All ae told is that aun order for the mmament of the N Guard of Madrid kd to armed resistance on the part of that force; that the regular troops responded to the call of the Minister o: Wer: that for two days there was fighting in the streets of Madrid; that ulti- ma‘ely the National Gnard was overpowered by the regvlars: that a new municipality waa organized by the government: end that the whole of Spain was } declared in a state «f siege. Such are the reported | fac s. Whet Las become of Espartero nobody seems to know. The Cortes. we believe, is not in session, and it is anid that an attempt to convene it was frna- trated by ihe troops. Whatever the a:tual sneces- sion of evente may have been, there seews no denbt that, us far as Modrid is concerned, the ingur- rection has been seppressed. Gat Span seldom accepts the decisions of Madrid- The coon- try seems more jxtent than the capital. It may be ed have Arragon and Catalonia ao- qniesced he policy of O'Donnell? Is it true that Swagerea ard Barcelona are in arms against that Minister? Tie Conatitution vel says that the demo- cratic perty, of which Exparterd is the adopted chief, has not given in its resignation A few hours wi!l p bly determine whether, if i. has not ven in ite resignation, it has heen enrprieed and feated, end whether it submits to that deteat. The di iness ia the dowtfal intention of the man who bas sue~eeded to power, at lest in Madrid. Constitutional government, in the proper sense of the words, is hard’y possible in his bands.

Srmacuan, Aug. 1, 1956. Explosion— Passage of Arms between Col. Ming and John Cochrane—Secret Opposition against the Nomination of Mayor Wood for Governor— Forney & Co. at the Bottom of it—Seeds of Disu- nion already Apparent, §c., ke. ‘The great Union Convention, which is to accom- plish such marvels for the democratic party in the approaching Presidential campaign, has, as you have already been informed by telegraph, adjourned, after a two day’s seasion. The long suspense is over — the two opposing factions have united their forces, and, in the language of the brightest luminary of the softs, the hero of the scarlet letter, “victory has already perched upon their banners, the contest is «ndcd and the serried ranks of the daring and pre- sumptuous foe have sought safety in an inglorious and ignominiovs flight.” To those who have not looked behind the scenes and beheld the machinery by which the Convention was worked, it might appear that the democracy are united; but a union of such opposing elements cannot long exist, and even now the seeds of disunion are rife among some of the acknowledged leaders of the party in New York. A few hours before the ad- joornment #m explosion of a serious character took place, and for some time it waa feared that it would end in a dissolution of the copartnership. It occur- red in this way:--John Cochrane, who had at the outeet professed the strongest friendship for Mayor Wood, was, it appears, working secretly against him; and while he voted for him as candidate for Governor, induced others to vote against him. This at least is the report circulated by the friends of the Mayor, who were terribly incensed on discovering that he was playing a double part. Joha had been appointed one of the electors; and ul- though holding an office under the general govern- ment, bad accepted the appointment. Now, this was clearly a viclation of the constitution; and although Jobn is a lawyer, it is but en act of charity to him to suppose that he never read that document, or if he did, that he bas forgotten all about it. However that may be, be acce; ted the appointment as elector; but before it could be catonsed by the Convention, Mayor, objected to the appointment as unconstita- tional.’ This was a terrible blow, and coming from one of the ood adherents, ‘t fell with great force. There was no means of escaping—every delegate who knew anything about the qualifications of electors saw at once the error that had been commit- ted, and hastened to correct it. But John was too quick for them, and before any action could be taken by the Convention withdrew his name, informing Cc}. Ming that he would not speak to him; and that if he did, he would not be speaking to a peer nary For a few moments there was every in- ication of an explosion, and it was only with the yaaa difficulty that it was prevented. Cochraue, jowever, wis not the only opponect which Mayor Wood bad emong the New Yor! Solas. Loren- zo 8. Shepard, who @id not vote for him, employed all bis energies, all his political shewdness and le- gal tactics to defeat his nomination; and it is said by some, that Sickles, although professing the strong: esi friendsbip for him, was working sileatly and se- crety spins him. Their opposition to the Muyor, it is well known to those who are in the secret, does not arise fiom feelings of personal dislike merely, Lut is attributable to Forney, who is jealous of the influerce which the Mayor would possess as Governor of the great State of New York, and which might interfere with his rule in the Cabinet of Buchanan; that is, of course, in the event of the election of the bachelor candidate. Those who are intimately ac- quainted with the Mayor know that he will not ad- mit of a divided empire within his jorisdiction; that he must be the leader: und that it he was Governor of this State, Forney’s power ond infinence here would be gone, and Cochrane, Shepard, Sickles and the whole rank and file of Porney’s forces ia New York would be utterly routed. In this, then, we have the great recret of their opposition to Mayor Woed. But the afiuir will not be allowed to rest bere. TheMaycr is not a man to be easily put down, and if he gees to work can (Jo a great ceal of damage to the interests of the Bucbanan men ia this city in the coming election. There are discor- dant elements enough in ihe party to work a and these, in the hands of such menas Mayor Wood, are not to be thought lightly of. There is really, then, no union after all, avd hardly a month will elapse Lefore those who rejoiced in the consolidation which has has been, to outward appearauce, effected at the Convention, will see that it was, after all, “a mockery, a delusion and a enare.” French Intrigues in ifornia. TO THS EDITOR OF THE BEKALD. It is known to your readers thatever since the dis covery of gold in Australia the French Emperor bas been desirous of obtaining a gold-produciog colony as a counterpoise to it. As long as England possesses that country and the United States has California, France must be dependent on one of them fer her supply of the precious metals. The filibustering expeditions which have from time to time isened from San Francisco, directed ogainet Sonera and Sinaloa were mainiy composed of and ‘ed on by French residents there, and the Count Toureet Boulbon, their principal leader, was ia close coriespondeuce with French Consul at San Fronciseo, M. Dillon. Had any of them been sve- cessful there is little doubt they would have been speedily resolved into French military colonies. It will also be remembered that on the trial ¢/ Del Valle, the Mexican Consul, for a violation of the neutrality laws, this same Consul Dillon (who by the way was himeelf indicted about that time fora similar offence) gave tise to a serious diplomatic embroglio, by refusing to eppear in court and give evidence in favor of the accused. Coven) Dillon is a gentleman of high character aud of distinguished ability. Under the modest title of a Consul he has been entrusted with the making of some very delicate and important little political and diploratic arrangements. His introduction of Christianity and French brandy into the Sandwich Islends, eat the point of Johny Crapeau's bayonet, entitles him to high rank as e negotiator; and the dexterity with which he tanaged all the tittle ar- ronge ments with the Freucl filihusters, #0 that while Frarce in the event of success would have had all the honor, glory and profit, and whilst ber repre.en- tative wae in po way compromised by their failure, was very clever-. very clever indced. Consul Dillon is undoubtedly a man of ability and policy. He is a popular man, too; the French popa- lotion of California has heretofore been devoted to him. When he wae arrested ly the orders of Jndge Hoffran they rushed en masse to his rescue, bat at bis toere word dispersed. Again, when his fag re ceived the apologetic salute from Uncle Sam's guna, they oppeared by thousands spontaneously at his residence, and paraded the streets of San Francisco with drome and flags. Bot the Consul reems to have recently lost his in- fluence over his countrymen. He has issneda sort of helf-and-balf, ebilly-sbally notifeation to the French in California, cautioning them not to dis obey the constituted authorities; but nobody minds it. The French repiments constitute the flower of the Vigilance Committee’; army, and have its artil- lery in charge. They beve served at home,an their drill is perfection. They recently demanded orders to capture the United States sloop-of-wa Jobn Ademe, fiom the officers of which some was expected in enforcing process of the U: States Conrta.

PUTS THE SOREWS TO COL. POLK--MERTING AT WaR- RENSBURG. [From the correspondence of the Missouri Democrat. | Col. Benton drew up a in Warrensburg, de- manding of Mr. Polk ‘vi ote he had made’ tbe (agvinst Beuton) to which from Greenfield and Fremont. I copied ir for Col. Benton, under the impression that I had a se- cond Copy, gave it toa friend, who was desirous of possessing such @ document. The following are substantially the interrogat which were pro- peace © ir. Polk through the medium of this letter, which was “served’’ upon him by Messrs. Clarke and Gatewood: Did Mr. Polk say or insinuate that Col. Benton was an abolitionist or black republican? Did Mr. Polk say or insinuate that Benton was striving to throw the election into the House of Representatives, that Fremont might be elected, a3 Banks was? Did Mr. Polk say or igsinute that Benton was an insincere candidute for Governor? These questions were preceded by a statement that Ccl. Benton was informed in Dade and Cedar, that Mr. Polk had made these charges and insinua- tiove, end were followed by 4 demand for an answer from tbe stand and in perenne of the mpeling,. As I baye said already, the letter or paper was livered to Mr. Polk at the bands of Dr. and Mr. Gatewood, who reported that Mr. Polk would answer it at the place and in the manner The meeting wea a large one, nuwber! fifteen hundred, and would have astonished Mr. Polk if he had not seen the Calhoun assemblage, for previous- ly he had been entirely unfamiliar with lange con- regations. Both candidates were on the ground at fhe time appointed for the Driigs to commence, and Mr. Polk, who bad signified his presence and hia 1eadiness to reply to the written communication, took a reat upon the platform by invitation, when Beuton got up to 8; 4 Denton's prefatory remarks were to this effect:— He was a candidate before the citizens of Missouri for the office of Governor; but he was not a candi- date in the sense of exalting himself and disparag- ing h’s opponents. He had been tour weeks op the canvass, speaking almost every day, and he had never mentioned the name of cither of his competi- tors. Neither the name of Mr. Ewing nor of Mr. Polk bad escaped his lips in that time. He had been born and bred amongst gentlemen, and tsught to think by their example that disparaging remarks mede of an opponent were a prose violation of cozr- tesy and unworthy of a mau of honor. After some further remarks of the same character, Col. Benton read a copy of the letter, and read it with unmis- takable vim cnd emphasis. Mr. Polk replied thus:— He received a note substantially, but not verbally, the same as that which they had beard read He denied the right cf any man to propound questions to him, but he would auswer those propounded by Colonel Benton. No man _ de- sired to be more respectful to his competitors than be dd, or was more solicitous to conduct the canvass in a spirit of courtesy. He had not said or insinvatcd that Colonel Benton was an aboli- tionist, a black republican or a free soiler. He had us d Col. Benton's naice, for he could net apeak of the history of Miesouri politics without meutioning that name. It was true that he had argued tha’ the lesult ef running the ticket at the head of which was Col. Benton, might throw the election of President into the House of Representatives, which might re- sult in the election of Fremont. i He hed asked ih momen? if Col. Benton desired to be Governor of Mi-souri for the sake of the office? for in his letter of the 12th of March he had said that even the Presidency had no attractions for him. The presumption, therefore, was thst he would not desire an office so much below the Presidency. Mr. Polk beving given his answer, Col. Benton came but forward and said, that he did not say the thing, argued the yor! Now, the difference between say- ing o thing outright and arguing or insinuati ty was the diference between go.ng to a place by a straight conree cr by a circuitous course; and some- tin.es argument and insinuation were a more effective vy of reaching it than direct assertion. r. Polk hee said that be had not ergued or insinuated thet Benton wasa free soiler, black re- publican or abolitonist. What he had argued was, that the vote of the State might be lost to Buchanan by two electoral tickets Leing in the field. Col. Benton said he would accept the gentleman's mcdification. He id no regard to what bogus rewspapers raid of him, but ro man having iaoral chasacter at Mr. Polk bad, should make such charges against hima end escape being he'd to responsibi- lity. If ony man eaid, or argued, or insinuated that Pcnion wes either a free soi'er, black republican or alobtionist, he lied. apy'x(y heard such charges mode, they heard a and after (hat day, any man vo gg such charges told lies, knowing them to be lies. There was no difficrity in securing the vote of the State to Buchanan. Those who were clamoring about it coulé efect it very easily by ‘auling down their ticket. But the real friends of Buchanan did not ask that—they were willing to leave the decision of the ursticn te the people at the Angust election. If Mr. ‘olk polled more votes than Benton, let the elec- toral ticket of the party with which Mr. Polk was identified be allowed to stand, and our electoral ticket be withdrawn. If the ticket which was beaded by Fenton received the most votes, let the electoral ticke of the anties he withdrawn. This properition wax made at the beginning of the capvas#. and yet there anties who pretended to be £0 solicitevs ‘about the vote of the State had rever accepted it. They acted like the false mother, when the two women ceme be'ore the wise man, Solemon each claiming the cbild. The false mo ther ovickly sereed to bave the child cut in two, ard tuke Ore-balf, but the real mother cried out bi claims to it ratter than it tect ld not be permitted to doit. If the ed by Mr. Polk got more votes theu that headcd by Bew cn, our ticket would be withdrawn, but if it got lees, then theirs would bave to be with- drawn, or the people wonld trample it in the dust. They would rot permit the vote of Missouri to be lost'to Buchanan by the machinations of his ene- mice, who voted reventecn times against him in the Cincinnati Convention. But their charging Benton with a design to throw the clection int the Hovse of Representatives, that Ficmont might te elected, a8 Banks wae, seemed to him the stupidest He which the anties had yet in- vented. Berks wos ret elected at all, either bya majority of the States or by a majority of the me.a- bers, and never could have been elected if it bad been necessary for him to get either a majority of the States or 9 majority of the members. After rire weeks’ trial the members had to adopt the pla- rality mle, and Benks was elected by a vote which was fourteen \\ ea than balf the number of members; and counting by States his rote was stil! emailer, for Mr. Abien got more States than he did. It teck a majority of States to elect the President, and how, then, could Fremont be elected like Banks was? The majority in each State gave the vote of the State, -o that it required a majority of States and of mew bers to elect the President. ides, it was the present House ef Representatives on whom the election of Piesident would devolve if the people ehew'd fail to elect, and what effect could Benton's run. og for Governor have upon it? It was certainly the stupidest He the anties had yet told npon him; for, in the first place, the election would not go to the Here Mr. Buchanan would certainly be elected by the people; Of that he hed no eorthly doubt; for the people knew that Buc! is a man of proce, and was needed at the head Of affairs in their presest disastrous condit‘on. He had known 1 they bad entered Congress together, to be a man of conservative views; o that the Stete which he repre- sented was a conrervative State, end ized the perce and honor of the country. Mr. Bachanan hac not Leen involved ‘a the repeal of the Missouri com- ise, and in the other d egraceful proceedings of ministratior. As for latforms, they were a cheat, aud the President not swear to obey them, bnt the constitntion.
