POSTSCRIPT.
SATURDAY NIGHT.
Accounts from Madrid mention that the Government is taking every precaution to protect that city against the threattmed attack of the Car- lists. All the gates and squares are defended by ertillery, and several of the streets are barricadoed. There has been some slight skirmishing in the vicinity of the capital ; but the general impression scents to be, that the Carlists are not strong enough to venture out a serious attack upon Madrid, with its present defences. But it answers the purpose of the Carlists to keep a large body of troops locked up in Madrid, while they plunder the country.
O'DONNELL, on the 15tb, attempted unsuccessfully to succour three companies of British soldiers who were shut up in Anduain, and still defended themselves bravely against the Carlists.
