Cable ODeanatchea IMJONDON, 'February ?$3. -r-D?spaloh ea from the provinces of. Spain state that the Garliat party had efleoted a revolution against Queen Isabella in the North, and that their adherents have taken np arius in considerable numbera in Navarre. Skirmishes have token place between the Royal guard nad the insurgents, the Queen's officers maintaining, their allegiance. Some few persons were wounded dur? ing the tumult.' The movement is the recall of a deliberate and well planned organization. The police nave seized documentary evidence of the fact. The officers have already found and carried away from Navarre 3,000 copies of revolutionary manifests addressed to the people of Spain. Each copy is headed with a wood cut of the eldest son of Don Juan, who is entitled and named Charles the Seventh of Spain; is second cousin to Queen Isabella, and grand-son of Don Carlos, who made the war against her accession to the throne, Don Juau, his father, being the son of Don CarloB. Charles O. Stewart, Chairman ol the Anglo-American Telegraph Com? pany, died suddenly, to-doy, of ap poplexy._ Interesting from Washington. WASHINGTON, February 23.-Stan? ton has been lodging in the Wai Office sinoe last Friday. He was re? commended to this course by Con? gressmen, who apprehended that ac attempt would be made to take pos session of the office by force. Gen. Grant yesterday detailed-Col Carr, a member. of Gen. Emory'i staff, to remain at the War Office and the guards have been doubled. A large number of members, o Congress called on Stanton to-da^ and held long consultations with him They assured him of the support o all the Republican members; tha their party would act as an unit ii both houses; and now that impeach ment is fairly inaugurated, ther would be no faltering until the mat ter is finally settled. After the impeachment resolutioi passes the house to-morrow, Stantoi will go home, as his friends thin! that, after that event, the Presiden will not venture on any aggressiv movement. It is ascertained that Gens. Gran and Emory, the latter commandin the department, will obey no ordei of the President wbioh conflict wit the tenure of office Act or the oz pressed will of the Senate. It ht not transpired, however, that th President bas issued or intends t I issue any such orders. In the whole matter, so far, til President has confined himself 1 civil proceedings, and has directe that au application be made to tl Court to-morrow for a writ of qi ajoarranio against Stanton. The excitement to-day has bee great, but events nave made no pr< gross, and this evening public sent ment is toning down. The mo: wild of the radicals assuro their li tenors that throe days will do tl work, but with each hour they a growing less confident. Tho House 'ourned last night ? half-past ll o .look, to meet to-di at 10. Nearly all the Democratic membe of Congress, Mr. Soward and mai prominent citizens and strange called on the President to-day. Tl excitement which pervades otb ciroles is npt perceptible at tho Whi House. WASHINGTON, February 24.-Coi parative quiot this morning, nome war talk; application has beon ma for a quo vxirranto against Staute Tho House is debating the impeac mont resolutions; its passage is st regarded certain. At half-past 10 o'clock this moi iug, Thomas went to the War I portment, ordered Stanton to vaci and demanded tho mails. Staut again refused. Thomas went to t Adjutant-General's office, but issn PO orders. Neither party hm i issued any order which requires cognition by the other depart men Senator Morton, of Indiana, positively roportod as saying tl these parties would not stand i pressuro, and that tho present ft inga nud purposes of tho Houso coi ? not bo sustained. It is stated that McCulloch will i recognize Stanton's official requ tions. Themost profound silence follov tho enunciation of tho vote. , Stanton to-day said ho wished I reporters would let him alone. rJ day closes with Stanton dining in the War ?apartment with Chandler and others; the President at dinner. Thomaq at his borne, and everything quiet. The President is reported aa sayiug_that he recognized no one but Gen. Aaomas as ?eoretary ol War, and meant to recognize no one else. He concluded the interview by saying God, and the American people would make all right, and save our institu? tions.. . The President appends to his mes? sage nominating Ewing Secretary of War the assertion that ho hos not and does not intend violating the tenure of office or any other law, and argues elaborately bis right, even under that law, to remove Stanton and ap? point an ad interim Secretary.1 . The following is telegraphed ns a specimen of to-day's speeches: Mr. Payne,' who had the floor, said: "Iyield two minutes to the gen? tleman from Indiana, Mr. Shanks." Mr. Shanks said: "Mr. Speaker: My opinion is, that in this emer? gency, this House should speak but one word and strike but oue blow and I desire that tho blow should come first. I am tired, sir, of this protracted discussion, which post f)ones an hour that the people have oug desired to see. I am in favor of tho official death of Andrew John? son, aud think we should vote this impeachment without debate. I am not surprised that one who com? menced his career in drunkenness should end it in crime." Congressional. THE PRESIDENT IMPEACHED. WASHINGTON, February 24.-In the Senate, business unimportant. In the House, the session was cut up into speeches of from three to twenty minuses-crude emergency speeches generally, explaining pre? determined votes on impeachment. The resolution was passed by a strict ?arty vote-except Stewart, of New ork, and Carey, of Ohio, who voted with the Democrats. The Committee to announce to the Senate the action of tho House relative to impeach? ment is Stevens and Bingham.

' ARRIVAL OF THE GOLCONDA AT MONROVIA.-Tho Baltimore Ameri? can, of Friday, says: "Letters have been received by Mr. Coppin gor, corresponding secretary of the Ameri? can Colonization Society, reporting the arrival of the society's superior Bicket ship Golconda, nt Monrovia, ecember 24th, after a pleasant pass? age of thirty-six days from Charles? ton, South Carolina. The large party of emigrants sho safely oarried out were well, and delighted with their adopted homes iu Liberia. The Golconda was to leave tho African coast about the 20th of January, aud may be expected soon to arrive at Baltimore. She will be provisioned at that port Mid call ut Havannah; whero sho will take in tho most of the intending emigrants. Some 3,000 of the thoughtful and enterprising freedmen have applied for passage, ond numbers are petitioning Congress for the means to reach and settle iu that growing Republic." Jenny can't guess why a lady's hoop, which makes her look fat, should be called crinofecr?. A widower, accompanied hy his six ohildren, and a widow with a similar "follow. Dg," walked six miles in Virginia to be married. The knot wns tied, and at last accounts the littln fftnnilw nf ffynrijaan . r*?\va liv??g happily under one roof. A few days since? at Newmarket, Tenn., a young man, while waltzing at a ball, fell to the floor a corpse. He had made the circle around the room sixteen times without stopping, but in the next attempt he failed and fell dead. A vivandi?re who accompanied the armies of the first Napoleon, has just died in the Asylum of La Salpetriere, at the age of 104. She went through the Russian campaign, and was at Waterloo. The City Council of Macon has passed an ordinance prohibiting lo? comotive whistles from being blown within the corporate limits, except as a signal for starting or stopping trains. Bells are to be used instead. At a fashionable wedding in Brat tlebore, Vermont, recently, a cynical old gentleman presented the bride with a pair of flat-irons, a wash? board, mop, broom and grid-iron. A child was lately born in Lake City, Minnesota,which weighed eight? een and three-fourths pounds at its birth. The happy mother is a Ger? man woman. Another elevated railroad scheme is proposed in New York, the pro? prietor promising to complete a dou? ble track from Wall street to Harlem in 100 days. The Rocky Mountain Herald ad? vertises for single women. 1,000 girls, it is said, conld get husbands and houses iu Colorado, before the spring. Latch Miss Marie L. Palmer, a very pretty young woman, was tried in California for arson. Two juries failed to agree, when she was allowed "to leave the State." Statistics gathered in New York show over 30,000 children growing up in that city as "vags," with the almost absolute certainty of becoming criminals. Tho patrol on a single railroad in New Jersey discovered eighty-six broken rails in one day recently. Dangerous to travel on Northern railroads at this season. The keeper of a faro bank, in St. Louis, has been fined during the past twelve months in sums amount? ing to $6,000. The late Charles Kean was tho first manager who took a strolling com? pany round the world. In Russia, the military service of each soldier has been reduced from fifteen to eight years. Very queer that a hospital in a neighboring city for legless patients is over-run. Matches were first used in 1832. Now Europe uses daily 2,000,000,000.
