CABINET REORGANIZATION. The fact of the attempt ‘on the life of Prim was communicated at once to the other members of the Cabinet. Aamiral Topete assumed, temporarily, the functions of General Prim as Minister of Foreign Affairs and War, as well as the Presidency of the Council. Seior Ayala was appointed Minister of the Colonies. SOLDIERS MOVING TO MUTINY. Several battalions of the National Guard, re- cruited in ‘the republican quarters at Madrid, pro- claimed that they would refuse to attend ans review to be. held in honor ol the new King. Serious dis- turbvances were apprehended in Madrid. GOVERNMENTAL CONGRATULATIONS ON HIS ESCAPE— PARLIAMENTARY CONDOLENCE. Major General Sickles, United Staves Minister, with the other members of the foreign diplomatic body serving in Madrid, waited on General Prim next morning and congratulated him on bis provi- dential escape from death. ‘The Spanish Cortes adopted a resolution expres- sive of “horror at the attempt to assassinate Gene- ral Prim,” and passed a vote of confidence in the existing government of Spain as administered by the Marshal.

MADRID TRANQUIL. Perfect tranquillity prevails inthe capital and throughout the provinces, SKETCH OF GENERAL PRI. Contrary to the expectations which the first de- spatches formed General Prim has succumbed to the ‘wounds inflicted by the hands of assassins, and has gone down to his grave another victim to Spanish violence and anarchy. Whatever fauits he may have had he certainly deserved @ better fate than that which has befallen him, for he was undoubt- edly one of the most galiant men in Spain. HIS EARLY CAREER, Don Juan Prim, Viscount del Brusch, Count de Reus, Marques de Las Castillejos and Grandee of Spatn.of the First Class, was born in Reus, a town in Catatonia, near Tarragona, on the 6th of Decem- ber, 1814. His father was a colonel of Spanish infantry, a man of limited means, being compelled to depend upen this scanty fare for his support. Nevertheless, his military position ena- bled his son to obtain admission as a’cadet in a mil- itary school. Prim had not been tn the army many months beiore the civil war of 1833, following the death of King Ferdinand, broke out and gave him a chance to distinguish himself. He espoused the cause of the Queen Mother against on Carlos, and as leutenant of the Catalan Free Corps behaved with | so muck gallantry on the battle field that he soon | obtained the rank of captain and in 1837 was pro- moted to acolonelcy and decorated with several military orders. IN POLITICS, After the close of the civil war Prim entered upon his political career, His early education had been quite deficient, but he made up for the deficiency by a course of private studies and by his participation in the political movements of the day. Having by this time achieved a favorable reputation he had be- come popular with the people, who elected him as Deputy to several successive Parliaments, in which his eloquence soon made him influential. But from the start it was evident that polilical consistency could not be expected from him. After the flight of the Queen Mother he allied himself to the progresisias, and became devoted to the cause of Espartero. By his tact in keeping on the winning side he was continually in office, and his” services to the country were such that by the time Espartero had been driven out of Spain, Prim had become a major general and been created Viscount del Brusch. In 1842 he was accused of complicity in the insurrec- lon of Saragossa, and was compelled to seek refuge in France, where he renewed ‘his alilance wita the Queen Mother and entered into conspira- cies for her restoration. PARTICIPATION IN INSURRECTIONE. Elected in 1843 Deputy to the Cortes for the-city of Barcelona, he retarned to Spain aad entered into the coalition between the Christinas ana the pro- ) zresistas against Espartero, his late chief. As the man of action it was not long before Prim pro- ceeded to coercive measures. In May of the same year he headed an insurrection which began in dus native city of Reus. Zurdano, however,.one of that nothing should be at- | Bat was made in the street, although the attempt was Airested avainst Prim at the corner of o plaza, Espartero’s subordinate officers, speedily drove him from the place. He ffed to Barcelona, where-he re- mained until Espartero was overthrown, when be returned to Madrid. The Queen Mother, Maria Christina, now resumed power, and she at once made Prim a fail generai and gave him the title of ;Caunt de Reus. He was also appointed Governor of Madrid, a position he is said to have heid for a short lime with signal success. IN DISGRACE. The insurrection which Aad broken out in Barce. Jena stil! continuing, Prim aaodertoak to suppress it. he had political reasons for the con. tapnance of the revolt and he wsea the forces @@ bis disposal in so glaringly incompetent a man- ner that a year passed aud Catalonia was not pacified. For this he was recatled in disgrace by the Queen, whe ordered him to be tried fer high treason. It was about this time (1844) that the attempt was made {o assassinate Narvaez, then at the hea@ of the gov- ernment, as he was driving to the opera one even- ing. The assassins fired into hia carriage in the Calle Ge Ballesta. Narvaez and Bernandez de Cas- tro, Who sat in the front seat, escaped; but Rusetu, the Prime Minister’s ald-de-camp, was shot dead. Prim was charged with complicity in the attempt and wae tried for murder, as well as higt treason. He was, however, clearly innocenief any kaawledge of the assassination plot and was acquitted of the charge, but was ¢entenced to several moins’ im- ‘prisonment for treason. IN THE WEST INDIES. On regainiag his freedom he avain gsongiit aMce. Yarvaez had by this time began to fear Prim, and he decided to get him out of Spain. He was acoord- ing. y appointed Captain General ef Porto Rico.gnd despatched to the island before the close of 1544. While here a pegro insurrection broke euton the islane' of Santa cruz. The Danish military force, smau in namber, would have bee soon driven from the isl nd had por Prim come to the rescue. On his own responsibility he transported the greater purt of histroops to Santa Cryz, apd after a brief, but vigorous Campaign, completely crushed the insur- vents. For this service the grateful Kivg of Yenmark rewarded him with the order of to Dannodrog. The Spanish government, however, Was not disposed to thank bim. He was blamed for rashly yemoving the Spanish garnsens trom Porte Kico and imperiiling one of the most valuable posseseiouset the Spanish crown, The government accordingly recalled im to Spain and tried him for dereliction of duy. Tre slight ponishment which ToUowed did not affect bis future fortunes. If was characteristic of Prim that he always remained jopeful. The condition ef Spain was deplorab: Cavinet after Cabinet followed each other with such rapidity that one was called the Lightaing Ministry: but Prim always succeeded iti making himself ser- ‘eable to each. Finally be became inveived ina conspiracy agaivst Brévo Murillo, who banished hun, together with General Ortega. HIS EXPERIBNCE IN THE EAST: During the past fifty years every Sparish states- man of any eminence hag epent part of hig life in exile. Prim's banishmemt was not unexpecsed; it did not mjure bun, After a short absence be re- turped Lo Spain wore ipduenal an ever, and jn ‘1854, through the good offices of Queen Christina, ‘Was sent to the camp of the allies in the Crimea as Spanish military commissioner. Hospitable, cour- weous, sar ent gallant, Prim made many friends among the allied officers and ingratiated himself so thoroughly in the esteem of Umar Pasha that that commander. wrote him @ most fattern letter on his departure, made him magni - cent presents and obtained for him mm the Sultan the decoration of Medjidie and @ sabre of honor. On his return from the East Generat Prim pubitshea an interesting account of his military ex- etience in the Crimea and elsewhere in Rassia and urkey, and an historical essay on the Tarkish empire, HIS MARRIAGE—MORE HONORS, In 1856, while on his way from the East, he stopped in Paris, where he met a Mexican lady named Sefora Echevarria, wiuom he married soon after. She brought him a dowry of $600,000, with expecta- tions of @ similar sum from her mother and $1,000,000 from each of her two uncles. ‘This mar- riage was the great sensation of the day, lt was celebrated under the auspices of Queen Christina, who Was present, and acted as “Madrina” to the bride. At thie time Prim represented Barcelona in the Cortes, and was in high favor. On the 31st of Janu- ary, 1856, he was promoted to the rank of Lieuten- ant General, and in 1858 was raised to the Senate, where he soon after delivered a remarkable speech on the Mexican question during the debate on the address lo tne Crown, THE MOROCCO CAMPAIGN. In 1859 the war with Morocco broke out, and he left Spain in command of the reserve division of the army, consisting of etght battalions. His exploits during the campaign were most brilhant. In the action at Castillejos his gallantry was con- spicnous, The regiment of Cordova, pressed by superior forces, having broke and turned to fight, Prim seized Its colors and rushed forward, exclatm- ing, “I take this fag to the Moors!’ Animated by his heroism the men raliled, reformed their line, and, with Prim at thetr head, charged the Moors ‘with such impetuosity that they broke and fied in great disorder, For his heroism in this batile he Was rewarded with the title of Marquis de los Cas- tillejos and the rank of Grandee of Spain of the First class, THE MEXICAN EXPEDITION, The joint intervention in tie affairs of Mexice having been determined on by France, England and Spain, General Prim was sent to Mexico in com- mand of the Spanish contingent. Barly in 1862 he reached Vera Cruz, but soon after withdrew his forces to Cuba and reneunced the expedition. Before returning to a ep he paid a visit to the United States and spent a couple of days with Gene- ral McClellan at the headquarters of the Army of the Potomac, where he witnessed a grand review of the Union forces. On his return to Spain his course re- garding Mexico was severely censured by some of his countryinen, but it received the fullest sanction of the Cortes. THE INSURRECTION OF 1866 AND 1867. For alleged conspiracy agaiust Seior Mar General Prim/was banished to Ovede, together with General Contreras, the cavalry leader and otners implicated with hym. In 1864 Narvaez recalled him, but he nad no sooner arrived in Madrid than he is said to have joined O'Donnell tn the effort made by the latter to overthrow his rival. O*Donnell succeeded, but gave the cold shoulder to Prim, who leagued himself with Espartero, and threw himself, with all his influence, in the interests of the progresistas. Jn January, 1866, he determined to strike, and ac- cordingly be put himseif at the nead of the insurrec- tion of that year. The army, however, remained Taithful to the gevyernment, and the movement was sneeaity suppressed. Nothing daunted be renewed the attempt in 1867 and was again unsuccessful. THE REVOLUTION OF 1868. Prim having succeeded in making good his escape to France immediately set about preparing for a third attempt. [tis 6 but upon what authority we know not, that Napoleon was privy to his Schemes. Bat be that as it may, the msurrection of 1868 was crowned with complete success, and until his death Prim was the leading spirit im the pro- visional government. INCLUSION. In spite of his slippery political principles Prim was always popular. He possessed all the virtues of the Spaniard, and, we must add, all the vices. His greatest political strength lay in Catalonia, the Catalans regaraing him as their particular leader. They were ever ready to follow Prun wherever he Jed them, quite Indifferent to th® merits of the cause he had espoused, Arrival of His Majesty Amadeus at Madrid.

The King appeared on the balcony of the Qarmal Palace and was cheered by an immense as- semblage. Subsequent Events. The 14th of September last witnessed the rapid advance of the Italian soldiers under Generals Ca- dorna and Bixio on Rome. For a long time pre- vious, however, this movement had been contem- plated, as the Italian people desired that their King should reign over an undivided country, with Rome as its capital. It was in response to this de+ sire of the people, urged on by other influences also, that Victor Emmanuel resolved to take Rome, peaceably if he could, but take it by force if necessary. The Pope determined not to yield an fota of what he considered his by rights deemed indisputable. The movement of the Italian army en the Holy City and the subsequent defeat of the Papal Zouaves were evidences sufil- ciently strong of the intention of the Italian govern- ment. Throughout the whole of Italy, as well asin Rome 1iself, the greatest excitement prevailed on the first meetang between the armies of the King and the Pope. The terms offered to his Holiness by the Italian government were indignantly re- fused. At this time the Italian army, com- manded by General Cadorna, was close tothe city. It was thought that the -Papal army Would not make a stand and that no blood Would be shed in defence of Plo Nono. This view, however, proved erroneous. Resistance was offered and the Italians were successful. On the 20th of September the royal troops entered Rome and took possession in the name of King Victor Emmanuel. About a month later, on the 18th of October, the King issued a State paper from Florence defining his position to the Pope. In substance it amountea to this:—Rome was to be the capital of the nation and the King was to rule in Rome, As to the Pope, he was to be free as the head of the Church. The Papal Council on the 2ist of the same month suspended its sessions by order from the Pope, on account, as it was alleged, of the “‘sacrilegions inva- sion of tne Italians.” The occupancy of Rome by the Itallang called forth expressions from the Catholic prelates tne world over, many of which have been published in the columns of the HERALD. The feeling om the subject in the Cazholic world is most intense. MONTEVIDEO. Progress of the Siege—Attempt nat Peace a Failure—Probabie Ultimate Success of tho Robels. MONTEVIDEO, Nov. 11, 1870.

Ex-Sergeant Haggerty Shot in Fi Court House. About ten o'clock last evenimg John Moylan, a deputy Sheriff, got imto an altercation with ex-Ser- geant Ed. Haggerty, who was on duty in the County Court House. Moylan, it is alleged, drew @ ptstol and fired, the ball taking rty’s temple, Moylan was then arrested and taken to the Washington street station house, where he was heid to answer. Mr. Haggerty ‘was taken to Dr. Kissam’s office, when it was as- certained that the ball was still in his head. The doctor was probing for it np to a late hour last night, and finally extracted if, Mr. Haggerty will probably recover. it of the sident of the Cortes, Salvos of artillery announced this fact to Madrid. Political Inferences—Prim’s Policy. At length, says a first letter from Madrid, dated the 17th of November, 1870, General Prim has com- pleted his abdication and succeeded in getting the Duke of Aosta voted by the Cortes as his successor by 191 Deputies, eighteen above the legal number required. The majority seems small at first sight, but it must be borne 1n mind that there was but one voting. The law provided for a second and a third in eertain eventu- alities; but as those eventualities did not arise the government contented themseives with the first. From motives of personal honor and compromise twenty-seven deputies voted tor the Duke of Mont- pensier, one for his wife and eignt for General Es- artero. Many of these had declarea to Prim their tention to vote for Aosta in the second turn, after preserving their compromises in the first, so it is but fair to suppose that had the urn been again employed the 191 would have come up to over 220; 331 deputies were present out of the 344 admitted. Of the ab- sSentees some three or four seut letters explaming Uhe causes of their inability to be present, and ex- pressive of their adhesion to the government candi- date, and five or six more have done so since. If, therefore, the Cortes be the faithful representation of the Spanish people the new King is unquestion- | ably the elected of the majority of his ruture sub- jects. Itisto be hopea he will see it in that light, and not be deterred from accepting by the embit- tered eiforts the republicans and Carlists are making to persuade him to stay at home. ‘Two votes were cast for Prince Alionso—quite a proof that the Bourbons have no sympathizers in the House; while nineteen (mostly Carlists and neo-Catholics) Were unwilling to put out the name of their royal aspirant and so voted in blank. The republicans made a gallant, bat to some extent an indiscreet stand, and suce ceeded in polling sixty-three voves. When I say in- discreet, 1 do not mean in the sense of the present hopelessness of their cause, but in the sense of the unnecessarily obstructive policy they, in alliance with the Carlists, adopted at the great session of yesterday. ‘‘Noisy, petulant and even insolent, they roused the temper of President Zorrilla and caused him to say sharp things to them @hich had better have been left unsaid.’ Queen Isabella Protests—Her Ex-Majesty States Her Reasons. The following is a translation of a protest of the ex-Queen of Spain against the Duke d’Aosta’s election to or acceptance of the Spanish crown, re- ferred to in the above history of events: TO THE SPANIARDS, Events which itis neither my wish nor my duty to recall, and by constant determination and ardent desire to constitute your happimess, even at the price of the greatest sacrifices, made me decide in 1868 upon abandoning my native land. Since then Ihave not ceased to address to Heaven my most fervent supplications that you might enjoy the peace and well-being which you so much desurve, and of which a minority greedy of power had for a time de- prived you. Wish ng to render legal this step, so important and so painful to me, as wellas to avoid its being attributed to violence, and its forming a reasonable retext at some future time, more or less distant, for new disturbances, I drew up on the 25th of June of the present year a free and ents abdica- tion of all my purely political rights, with all those which I possessed to the crown of Spain, transmit- ting them to my beloved son, Don Alfonso de Bour- bon, Prince of Asturias, and reserving to myself such rights as had not the aforesaid political character. I flattered myself that this act of abnegation, as spontaneous as it was sincere, would have calmed over-excited passions; would have inspired confi- dence in those who, refusing to do me justice, might have considered me person an obstacle to the consolidation of public liberty, and would have re- stored my country to its normal condition, 80 pro- foundly disturbed by a revolution which of neces- sity nas produced innumerabie evils. ut it has ina oeece God to grant as yet my fer- vent prayers. The revolution continues its career, and has just disavowed the rights of my son—who is to-day your legitimate King, according to all the Spanish constitutions—by calling to the throue of St. Ferdinand and of Charles V. a foreigner whose merits however great cannot entitle him to pe your sovereign, in despite of the rights of a whole dgnasty, the only one which bas in its favor that legitimacy, consecrated by the lapse of ages and by constitutions, which it has been a signal folly to disavow. Ishould be wanting to my sacred duties as a mother and as head of my family did I not publish a solemn protest against such an act of spoliation; and I address jt to you before any one else, because itis you who are catied upon to repair unis great viglation of right, of which an innocent boy, who cannot be and = onght not to be held responsible for the errors unjustly at.ributed to his ancestors, 18 new the victim, There 1s nothing more distant from my mind and purpose than an appeal tw violence; enough blood bas been shed by the Spanish people in sustaining me upon the throne of my ancestors. I would not have more to flow in order to re-establish my dear son upon it. Mysole desire ia that public opinion, being rectified, may be convinced that only by the establishment of the future upon the old and time-honored basis of mon- arehy can Spain recover the elevated and respected postion which she for a long ume held in the world, and that when the revolutionary terrent, which you surely look upon with horror, shali have spent itself, the restoration may be brought about Irrge which, while Hlling with joy my maternai heart, will console the grief which | feel, not for my own, but Jor your misfortunes, ISABEL.

ALBaNY, Jan. 1, 1871, NEW YORK MEMBERS ARKIVING LATE. Notwithstanding the near approach of the session of the Legislature and that the caucases of both parties for the selection of the speakership of the lower house takes place to-morrow evening, there are as yet but two or three of the New York mem- bers in town. Ithad been arranged last week that the majority should be on hand to-day for a special conference, but for some reason or other Mr, Hitchman and Alexander Frear were the only ones who showed up on Saturday evening. There is much disappoinment among the rural democratic members in consequence. Peter B. Sweeny has putin an ap- pearance and taken possession of a suit of rooms in the hotel, where the future manceuvres of the working majority of the Legislature will be nicely arrange@ beforehand. Tweed arrived late to-night. THE REPUBLICANS FROM THE RURAL DISTRICTS areon hand in strong force, and, judging from the way of the talk here, there will be very little har- mony inthe republican caucus to-morrow evening. It has leaked out that the old Fenton-Murphy feud will break forth with all its old flerceness, and that each faction is determinea to make the Speakership @ test of its political strength. Husted is to be nomi- nated by the Fentonites. Selkreg is the opponent of Husted inthe fight.
