Alexandria Gazette & Advertiser

The editor of the Philadelphia National Gazette acknowledges the receipt of direct advices from Madrid, of a recent date. It seems that in fact, a serious insurrection, like the movement at Lisbon, has been attempted in Spain. The object was, as intimated in our latest English papers, to substitute the Spanish Infant Don Carlos for the adored Ferdinand, and establish a system more ultra royal and proscriptive than the monarch and his advisers have found it practicable or deemed it expedient to adopt. The principals of the conspiracy were the guerilla leaders, the Trappist, and Gen. Capape, who endeavored to raise the people in Aragon and other provinces. A number of distinguished royalists, including bishops and friars, were exiled as accomplices, to different points of the kingdom, not to France. The official paper, the Gazette of Madrid, of the 17th May, contains a notification to all the authorities and the Portuguese Legation in order that they might be kept under surveillance. A concert was believed to exist between the Portuguese and Spanish malcontents of the various classes. Two sets of conspirators are now dreaded by the Portuguese and Spanish governments; namely, the constitutionalists, and the ultra Royalists, who want absolute despotism both in theory and practice.
