The following despatch was received here to-day yy the Reuter Telegram Company. It is marked ‘urgent’? and was not delayed by the Censor at fadrid. Itis therefore believed that its contents ave some foundation in fact. » Amadeus and the Spanish Crown. MADRID, Feb, 10, 1873, His Majesty, King Amadeus, manifests a dispo- pition to abdicate the Crown, in which case he will resign his power into the hands of the Cortes, Madrid is quiet, A Dynastic Revolution Canvassed Pub- Micly by the Spanish Press. MADRID, Feb. 10, 1873, The Madrid Correspondencia, in its issue to-day, jennounces the probability that the session of the {Cortes will be suspended for a few days, and upon reassembling a proposition from King Amadeus to @bdicate the throne will be read in the Congress, avhere an effort will probably be made to dissuade kne King from carrying out his purpose. Shouldhe persist @ special law will be passed electing a Re- jgent and 9 Cabinet. , Other Madrid journals state that if the King jphould resign the Crown the present authorities wvill remain in office to watch the course of events, and itis believed all questions arising out of the jabdication will be settled according to the constl- {tution and without any disturbance, THE CABINET IN COUNCIL. A Cabinet Council was held last night, after which Sefior Martos, Minister of Foreign Affairs; Sefior Becerra, Minister of the Interior, and Sefior ‘Echegary, Minister of Finance, had a conference «with Sefior Rivero, President of the Congress. MINISTERIAL CONFERENCE WITH THE MILITARY, , A conference also took place between Sefior orvoda, Minister of War, and the principal mill- ‘tar officers in Madrid. CAUCUS OF POLITICAL CONSERVATIVES, Alarge mecting of conservatives was held last night. THE GOVERNMENTAL SUCCESSION. Parliamentary Provision for the Admin- istration of Powcr=Why the King Thinks of Retiring. MapemD, Feb. 10, 1873, In the event of the King’s abdication the Senate @nd Congress will go into joint session as one chamber ‘until the throne is filled or the future form of government settled. CAUSES OF THE CROWN DIFFICULTY. The King’s disposition to quit the throne is at- ‘tributed toa difference between His Majesty and ‘the Ministry, which arose in November last, when ‘the General of Artillery, Don Bidalgo, was pro- moted to the Captain Generalship of the pasque provinces, The majority of the ofi- cers in the artillery arm of the ser- ice resigned their commissions at the time, pro- testing against the promotion as irregular and unjustifiable, and refusing to serve under Hidalgo pecause he participated inthe massacre at tne fan Gil barracks in 1966. Hidalgo, meeting with #0 much opposition, finally resigned, and the of- cers withdrew their resignations. But the Ministry recently appointed him (Hidal- 80) to & new and important command in Cata- fonta, The artillery oMfcers renewed their protest ‘and again sent in their resignations, The Ministry Alsregarded them, and, appealing to the Cortes, obtained a nearly unanimous vote of confidence. The King frem the beginning has disapproved of ‘the promotion of Hida'go, and feels affronted be- cause his Cabinet compels him, through the vote of the Cortes, to acquiesce in the last appoint- ment, THE CAUSE OF THE REPUBLIC. {it is given out that Sefior Zorrilia will retire to private life if the King persists in his resotve to abdicate. _ The members of the Cortes belonging to the most Bdvanced seetion of the republican party held a meeting to consider what action should be taken 4n the crisis, About thirty persons were present. They resolved to maintain a pacific yet energetic ‘attitude, and, if the King’s determination should pe irrevocable, to encourage orderly manifesta- tions in favor of the establishment of a repubiic. THE CARLIST CRUSADE. Marching and Countermarching of In- surrectionists and Royalists—French Reports of the Hopeful Progress by the Bourbenists. Mapaip, Feb. 10, 1873. Bands of Carlists have made their appearance in the province of Toledo, ‘The Carlist forces under command of Santa Craz, Macazaga and Iturbide have effected a junction in the province of Guipuzcoa. BOURBONIST INDICTMENT OF THE SAVOYARD KING. ‘The Oarlists are said to be in the field under con- duct of Alphonso de Bourbon, or at least the Infante General-in-Chief has announced once more that he ts about to assume the cemmand of his faithful and .loyal subjects, As ta befitting under such circumstances, proclamations abound; Don Alphonso publishes two, one to the Catalonians, the other to the royal, that is to say, the Carlist army of that province, and one of his generals in the same way makes a doubie appeal to the population of Navarre and to the in- surrectional army which is to operate in that dis- trict, These documents contain an enumeration of ‘the crimes and disgraces with which Spain is sullied under a king of haphazard, religion op- pressed, the country outraged, family ties broken, Property threatened with ruin and society with dissolution.’ CONDUCT OF THE CROWN CAMPAIGN. The snow interferes with the operations against the Carlists. General Moriones, the Commauder- in-Chief of the Army of the North, is making a forced march in hopes of overtaking General Ol'a, who, at the head of 2,000 insurgents, has again entered the province of Navarre. French Reports from the Scene of Ope- rations—Strategy of the Contending Spanish Forces. Panis, Feb. 10, 1873. Advices from Carlist sources represent that the insurrection in Spain is daily gaining strength. It now exists in elght Northern Provinces, and is extending to the Central and Southern Provinces of the kingdom. The King’s government is acting on the defen- sive. Towns are being fortified and volunteers armed to resist the advance of the insurgents. LATEST FROM MADRID. Parliament without a Cabinet Repre- sentation—Ministers Summoned by the Legislature—Senor Zorrilla’s State- ment of Amadeus’ Resolve—Anxious Consideration at Court and Congress in Permanent Session. When the Congress met to-day the seats of the Ministers were vacant. Sefior Figueras, the leader of the republican party, expressed his surprise at the absence of the members of the Cabinet at such a juncture, and demanded that they be notified to attend, President Rivero thereupon sent @ messenger to request the presence of a representative of the gov- ernment. Sefior Zorrilla, the President of the Council, soon afterwards entcred, and proceeded to address the house. He acknowledged that the situation was serious, but the government had no interest in concealing the fact. He advised the republican Deputies not to act hastily, Notbing of an official character had yet been a. The immediate duty of the government was to maintain order. He objected to the sitting of the Congress under the circumstances. Sefior Zorrilla then stated that the King had in- formed him on Saturday last that he was firmly resolved to abdicate. The Ministers sought to dis- suade the King from his purpose. His Majesty asked for twenty-four hours to consider. All that the Prime Minister could add was that he had not since then received his Majesty's oMcial act of abdication, and he was unable in the pres- ent state of suspense to make any proposal to or ask any vote from the Cortes. Sefior Figueras said he could not agree with the Prime Minister that there was anything objection- able in the sitting of the Congress, and he moved that the session be made permanent. The motion was carried, and at half-past ten to- night there had been no adjournment. Severe Snow Storm. ManpkRiD, Feb. 10, 1873, The snow storm which prevailed here yesterday also extended throughout the Northern provinces, where the fall was very heavy. Colonial Emancipation and War Office Repression. MapnRID, Feb. 10, 1873, ‘The bill for the abolition of slavery in the island of Porte Rico will be taken up in the Congress to- day for discussion. The Senate has, by @ vote of 59 to 6, passed a motion of confidence in the Ministry on the ques- tion of its course towards the artillery, with regard to recent demonstrations of {nsubordination in that branch of the army. The government has created an Ordnance De- partment. AMADEUS’ POSITION AT NEW YEAR. In connectien with the statements which have just reached us from Madrid, as published, it is ef interest to hear Amadeus’ definition of his position towards the Spaniards, as it was given orally by His Majesty on New Year's Day, Just passed. Deputations from the Senate and Congress of Spain waited on the King at the palace at New Year and presented him with ad- dresses, congratulating him,in the name of the nation and Parliament, om the happy advent of the season. To the address of the Senate the King re- plied as follows :— SENOR PRESIDENT OF THE SeNaTR—I receive with the highest appreciation and the deepest satisfac- tion the felicitations addressed to me by the Senate on occasion of the solemnity of this day, in which memory calls for grateful records, and grave refections occupy my thoughts. It is two years since I commenced to reign in Spain, and entered upon duties as arduous for me towards fe 4 new and beloved country aa the honor is hig! whieh I received frem the panish Deople, by whose will I mounted this throne, in whose love I have to cement it, and by whose confidence I have to live and to consolidate it, so that in this way, at the same time as we realize for the country the fruits of the revolution and perpetuate the work of the Constituent Cortes, we shall be makiag patent the energy of the popular right by virtue of which mew dynasties and modern institutions acquire prompt robustness and take deep root. 1 take asa happy omen for the year just begun the announcement the Senate have made to me, and the hope they have manifested to me that the men Who still live as slaves im the royal province of Porto Rico will quickly recetve their freedom. A resolution so humanitarian and so Christianilke will be a proud distinction for Spain, an honor for the Cort @ Instre for my reign and a blazon for my dynasty. With it the civilized nations will have an additional motive to congratulate themselves on having instantly recognized the work of 1863. Spain will feel a natural pride on seeing herself the object of the esteem and appinase of the world, and those who at present feel doubtful will, by and by, understand that it is unreasonable to feara deed of humanity and justice can possibly be a fource of ruin or perdition, The News from Madrid on Change London. Lonnon, Feb. 10, 1873. Consols closed in London at 92% a 92% for money and 92% 892% for account—a decline since Satur- day of 4 & % per cent, , THR LONDON GOLD MARKET, The London Zvonomist in a recent issue pub- shed an article on the subject of the rate of dis count and supply of gold in England, in which the writer, speaking of the stock of bullion in the Bank of England and its management, said :— At present there are two pending demands for | gold—one to Spain. Not long since a combination Of capitalists in Paria, called the Banque de Paris, fngaged, as part of the conditions on which the last loan was taken, to find a large sum in cash— it is said as much as £4,000,000—for goed We be- lieve there is no likelihood that it will be wanted at once, and perhaps some may never be sent all; but already about seven hundred thousand pounds has been sent on account, and in the present uncertain and revolutionary state of Spain probably the gov- ernment of that country will be anxious to have all the cash it can while tt exists and before it is destroyed. A revolutionary government is always partial to cash. It is the best medium in which you can soldiers, and the best security against untoward and unforeseen accidents. No doubt that government will take from us as much as it can. FRANCE. The Committee of Thirty Preparing to Report— Duke De Gramont’s Revelations and the International Argument—Ter- rible Criminals on Trial. TULEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERAL® Paris, Feb. 10, 1878, The Duke de Broglie will present the report of the Committee of Thirty in the Assembly on Satur- day.

DUKE DE GRAMONT'S REVELATIONS ON THE BONA- PARTE WAR DIPLOMACY, L'Untvers publishes a letter from one of Napo- leon’s Ministers, whose name is not given, con- firming the revelations made by the Duke de Gra- mont as to the promises of assistance made by Aus- tria to France at the beginning of the war with Prussia. Tne correspondent adds to Gramont’s statements that a treaty fora triple alliance was nearly concladed between France, Italy and Aus- tria, but was not signed, because Napoleon re- jected it as dishonorable.

NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1f,1873—TRIPLE SHER. THE BOSTON BUTCHERY. . 7 tian eee = EXCITED MIRMONDOM. The Alley Trial Drawing to » Close—Important | Brigham Young's Organ Snorting Deflance—A’ Testimony for the Defence—Clear Accounts of the Time and Means of the Prisoner on the Date of Ellis’ Murder. Boston, Feb, 10, 1873. The trial of Leavitt’ Alley for the murder ot Abijah Ellis still continues to be the all-absorbing topic of conversation among those interested in the sensational, and the expert testi- mony introduced has possessed an addi- tional interest for every one. The testimony was closed to-night, and to-morrow morn- ing the argument for the defence will be delivered by Mr. Somerby, the senior counsel for the prisoner. This will be fo!lowed by the ad- dress of Attorney General Train, and it is probable that Judge Morton will make his charge and de- liver the case to the custody of the jury to-morrow night. The supposition is general that the jury will disagree, and those who are sacrilegious enough to gamble on a man’s life are offering odds that Alley will never be convicted. The defence have disposed of many of the strong points of the government evidence, They have provided for every hour of time for Alley from the time Ellis was last scen alive till the time his body was found in Charles River; have shown that he borrowed $135 on the day of Election, thus accounting for the money paid out atter the murder; have established his character by relia- ble witnesses; have accounted for the blood spots by the bleeding of a horse, and the testimony of Dr. Jackson, State Assayer, that the blood found may have been that of a horse or other animal, and disposed of the witness who testified that he saw tho prisoner and the deceased quarreling on elec- ion Day. The points of the testimony for the defence to- vg were as (ollows:— Mr. Betterman stated that between nine and ten o'clock on the morning of the 5th of November last he received goods from Alley, dohn Hand, an employ6, swore that the blood in the stable came from a horse. Dantel 8. Alley, sen of the prisoner, testified that he loaned is iatuer $135 on the ‘tuesday before e lon, George L. Armstrong, a storekeeper in the vicinity of Aver stable, had a conversation with the accused between seven and eight o'clock on the morning when he was sald to be carrying away the mutilated remains of Ellis. Abbie A. Alley, Leavitt's daughter, deposed to the fact of being called to get up and make tea for her mother on the night of the murder; that her father was at home; did not leave the house before Dangerous Feeling Aroused in the Breasts of the Saints—Claggett, Wegley and Morritt Fiercely Denowuced—A New Mormon Expedition. Saur Lage Crry, Feb. 10, 1873. Brigham Young's organ, the News, in an article mtitied “The New Crusade,’ denounces Claggeté in unmeasured terms, for filling the Presie dential and Congressional ears with bare- faced and unmeasured lies, It thinks Geme eral Grant would otherwise act tem- perately and justly, but that he is Hkely, under advice of what it calls intriguers, to do some act that willcover his record with ineffaceable disgrace and bring on a@ conflict between himself and the United States Supreme Court, It charges Negley, Claggett and Merrite with telling the President Ne after lie of gigantic proportion and jet blackness. As to Olag- gett’s characterization of the children of Mormons as “bastards,” it threatens to meet him full im the face at a time he would beg to be excused from it. The whole tone of the article is well calculated to excite the worst elements in the Mormon masses. The abuse of all who have taken sides against the Church and the priesthood is aa vile as possible. It finally welcomes the troops to Gb Mormon coffers, The feeling 1s very strong among the Mormons against the proposed legislation. The Gentiles gladly welcome anything to be relieved from Brigham Young's despotism and that of his priest~ hood. The latter pray for a final solution of the question, as the time is ripe, A Mormon expedition started three days ozo from Kane county for the purpose of exploring the country beyond the Colorado River. General Maxwell, who is the contestant for the seat in Congress claimed by Elder Carmon as dele- five o’clock in the morning and had his breakiast (gate from Utah, will leave for Washington to- at home at seven. The State Assayer and other prominent wit- nesses were recalied for the prosecution, but noth- ing new or material was elicited. The defence rested their case, and the Court adjourned until to-morrow morning, GAFFNEY SANE. The Commission of Doctors Appointed to Examine the Buffalo Murderer Pro- claim it “a Case of Feigned Insanity.” ALBANY, Feb. 10, 1873. Governor Dix having ordered an examination into the sanity of Gatfney, under sentence of death at Buflalo, last Friday, received the following de- spatch to-day from Dr. Gray, of tne Utica Insane Asylum, and Dr. Vanderpoel, Health OMcer of the Port of New York, the commission appointed to make the examination:— BUFFALO, Feb. 10, 1873. To Governor D1x:— Alter a satisfactory examination of GatMey we found lim sane—a case of feigned insanity. Drs. GRAY and VANDERPOEL, PROBABLE MURDER, A Man’s Head Mashed with a Whiffic- tree. Ateleven o'clock last evening John Corrigan, of 226 East Twenty-sixth street, Thomas O'Connor, of 217 East Twenty-sixth street, and Timothy Halvey, of 141 East Twenty-third street, became engaged in & quarrel at the livery stable, No. 141 East Twenty-third street, and finally all hands joined in @ fight, during the progress of which Halvey bit Goer ecn on the head with a whiiletree, breaking his skull in, aoa 4 such other injury that the unfortunate man will probably die in the hospital (Bellevue), to which he was at once removed. O’Counor and Halvey were arrested. SUMMARY JUSTIOEZ. Toreka, Kansas., Feb. 10, 1873.
