POSTSCRIPT.
SATURDAY.
Accounts from Madrid, dated the 14th instant, were received this morning. Public tranquillity had been in a great measure restored, and the Procuradores had become comparatively calm. A private declara- tion of MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA, that no further negotiation with Don CARLOS would be attempted, had tended to produce this alteration in the temper of the Lower Chamber. The officers of the second battalion of the Urban Militia, who resigned on the lath, resumed their posts the next day. The son of GALIANO, the Deputy, had been arrested on a charge of being implicated in the riot of the 11th instant ; but this was looked upon as an imprudent step ; and it is not believed that the young man is guilty. It nowhere appears in the accounts from Madrid, that apprehension was entertained of Don CARLOS being successful to any great extent. Nothing like a feeling in his favour prevails in the capital. On the contrary, the outbreak against the Ministry was occasioned by the suspicion, that they were disposed to negotiate for the retirement of Don CARLOS from Spain, in the place of forcibly expelling him.
It would also seem, that the consequences of the recent successes of ZUMALACARREGUY, have been much exaggerated. The whole loss of the Queen's army is now said not to exceed 400 men ; and nothing like that total rout, which must precede the triumphal march of Don CARLOS to Madrid, has occurred, or can be reasonably apprehended. The alarm on this subject, which exists in the City, really seems to be in a great degree without foundation.
