Andalusia is on fire.—The Provisional Political Chief issued a Proclamation, dated the 28th, to announce that the corps of Carabineers, at Castro del Rio, in the Province of Cordova, had refused to submit to the decree for disbanding it. Private letters from Seville announce, that the first battalion of the Regiment of Majorca, two pieces of Artillery, with 800 men, the Cavalry Regiment of Alcantara, and the 2d battalion of Majorca, 'now at Cadiz, had received orders to march against the Ca rabineers. Letters from Lucena, in the Province of Cordova, mention that the battalion of the Constitu tion in that city had marched to join the other troops against the Carabineers. The stone of the Constitu tion had been thrown down at Lucena. It is stated in accounts from Cordova, that the forces which have joined the Carabineers amount to 9000 men, the greatest part of the troops in these districts. An attack was daily expected. General Don Tho mas O'Donoju, who has been nominated Commander in-Chief in Andalusia, set out yesterday from Madrid for his destination, charged to treat with the Carabi neers before he proceeds to Seville. News received from Siguenza announce that the rebels had shewn themselves there to the amount of 600 Ineft, and that they had been well received in that city, the inha bitants of which repulsed. the detachments of the Re • giment of Guadalaxara sent in pursuit Of them. The rebels, to the number of 700 men, test quietly in the city, and exercise in the streets.— Gaiette de France. It is said that the Government has rejected the pro positions of the guards, who occupy the Prado. Four hundred of this corps had marched on Fuencarrol. It was said that an entire corps had made a move ment on Segovia, but this is not at all probable. Things remain in every other respect as formerly. The troops of the garrison occupy the same posts; those of the Palace observe the same precautions as on the preceding days. The sentinels are doubled in the night, and the battalions who occupy the facade and wings of the Palace are surrounded by a consi derable number of advanced posts. The gate en titled the Gate of the Prince is kept shut. No per sons are admitted into the square of the Constitution. Nearly the whole of the regiment of Almanza oc cupy the iron gate. These troops skirmished this morning with those on the Prado, and the Officer who commands them has demanded a reinforcement of some companies of infantry, of which he has need, owing to the nature of the ground.—Courier Francois. The Journal de Thoulouse, of the sth inst. contains the following article :—" A lively alarm is felt at Barcelona at the progress of the Catalonian insur gents. The inhabitants are, in consequence# even making preparations for defence, and heavy artillery are placed on the ramparts. Three regiments have left the city, and two others were expected, who, im mediately on their debarkation, would proceed to join the division of General Milans. There is some talk of a serious affair in the neighbourhood of His tarih, between the troops of General Milans and those of Misas, in which the latter is said to have had the advantage. The couriers from Madrid and from Perpignan to Barcelona have been stopped by the insurgents. The Trappist is said to be increasing in force every day.”—Journal de Paris. It was said on the .sth, at Madrid, that the insur gent Carabineers had accepted the amnesty offered to them ; others pretend that they had been reduced by the regiment of Alcantara. It is affirmed also, the same day, that the Govern ment had rejected the propositions and the conditions of the battalions of Guards, revolted in the Prado. In other respects everything was quite tranquil in Madrid ; the troops of the garrison occupied the same posts. Their sentiments as well as those of the inhabitants, were always of the same degree of pa triotic excitement, and there were heard every instant, on different points, the cries of Liberty and the Con stitution.—CenititutionneL Our correspondent concludes with writing to us at four o'clock, on the morning of the 6th—" Ma drid is still in a melancholy stupor, and in the same state as yesterday. The King is in his Palace: the Council of State in permanence; the Revolutionary are is consternation. The immense majority of citi zens execrate the Constitution, dread displaying their sentiments, but begin, however, to manifest some hopes. A single word from the King, and the Revo lution is buried. In two days, perhaps, I shall be able to announce to you decisive events; the treachery of the troops has overturned the Monarchy, the fide lity of the Guards may re-establish it. We count little on the Resolutions of the Council of State; but we have for us the fidelity of Morillo, and the unani mous wishes of good Spaniards. There is a rumour this moment, that the Members of the Commission of the Cortes have dispersed."—Gazette de France. The following are further extracts from the French Papas: STUTTGARD, JULY 4. Letters hom General Norman to his familr have been received here, written before his departure horn the Morea l for the Continent of Greece. He gives news of the other Wirtemberg Officers who accom panied-him in his expedition, and who have all been advantageously placed. Not being able to organize horse artillery, the General caused a quantityof light guns to be carried by horses. He adds, afterwards— THE FUNDS. STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVEOCLOCK.

FOREIGN FIINDL—Since the Spanish Loan has come out we never witnessed such a confusion as took place on the Royal Exchange this morning, about eleven o'clock. Owing to the bad news from Spain, Spanish Bonds were done at 611; but, on an eminent Jew Broker appearing, who, no doubt, was sent by the parties who had the express, immediately a great crowd of Brokers surrounded hint, and he purchased to a very large amount, which rose them to 624 for money.

Although we have had no further arrivals direct from Spain, yet the French Papers of Thursday and Friday bring intelligence from Madrid two days later than that we communicated on Saturday. It is true that we cannot place very strong reliance on the party statements of the French Journals, yet, making some allowance for exaggeration, there seems no doubt that Madrid is now the theatre of very serious events; and that the crisis which shall decide between the Constitutional party and the friends of an absolute Monarchy is arrived. The result, we think, may be anticipated, and we doubt not that, however ominous affairs may be at present, they will terminate in giving new strength to the friends of the Constitution. —The mutinous Guards, it would appear, still bold out; but they have been deserted by most of their Officers; and it is said that one of the two per sons employed by them to negotiate with the lawful Authorities on the 3d instant, was M. DEFLERS, a Frenchman ; we have always believed that the con duct of the French Government has had considerable influence in emboldening the Ultra party in Spain, and w•e should not be surprised to learn that one of their agents has excited the mutiny of the Guards. The authorities, civil and military, are all opposed to the revolted regiments ; and no soldiers have joined them; the garrison, both regulars and militia, stand ing fast by the Constitution.—The Gazette de France, which gives a very highly-coloured ultra account of the Madrid affair, represents Andalusia to be also at this time involved in a difficulty of nearly the same nature by the revolt of the Royal Carabineers. There is, we should suppose, but little reason to fear any junction of the other regiments with the Guards and the Carabineers ; as the advantages -which the latter possess, and their aristocratic composition, render them an object of doubt to the rest of the army. The Courier Francois and Gazette de France both agree that on the evening of the 4th instant the KING was invited to separate himself from the insur gent regiments, and; leaving his Palace, to retire to the Hotel de Ville of Madrid ; but that when the Council proposed to him to accede to this invitation of the Municipality, FERDINAND gave this remark able answer:—" My guards are not in a state of dis order : let me put myself at their head, and sec if they will not obey me." We do not know, in the present state of public feeling, and with the experience of FERDINAND'S weakness, how far he may be trusted ; but it seems to be the general opinion that a word from the Km would settle the revolt of the guards., if FERDINAND hesitates, or does not throw himself entirely on the friends of the Constitution, he may certainly endanger his Crown and his life; for he is already suspected of secretly abetting these risings, and of wishing to become " the absolute King" which his injudicious friends attempt to make him. The following are the statements of the different French Journals respecting the events at Madrid : MADRID,JULY 5. • A hundred men of the regiment of Almanse ap• proached yesterday the iron gate of the Prado 4 they were forced to retire by a company of the guards... None were killed or wounded. The Council of State assembled lag night at a •ery late hour. It resolved to invite the King to se.l parate himself from his mutinous guards. That de cision was laid before his Majety by a deputation of the Council. His Majesty replied, "My guards are Lyself at their obey me."— After divers not mutinous—allow me to place my t. head, and you will see how .they will This answer confounded the deputation. 111111111mmimimm, • et I elet yet write nothing as to the period - et' my re-' tarn, for the war, or rather the revolution, is not yet terminated; but I think I can pledge myself, that the Mersa, when I shall have the right of citizenship, is lost for ever to the I'utks." BAYONNE, JULY 4.--(Private Letter.) 4, The news which I transmitted 'to you by the last courier, and which were given me by my• . agent of Saint Jean Pied-de-Port, were exaggerated. It was ft the 3d current, at nightfall, that a serious affair took place between Lopez Banos and Quesada. The latter avows that a panic fear seized his corps,, cons posed of 1,500 men ; that that terror was such that he remained alone with from 250 to 300 men; that night alone saved him, his enemy being unable to profit by the disorder among the emigrants. He avows also that he had 12 killed, and seven wounded. The enemy lost only five men, of whom two were killed. Finally, he occupies the same positions, rein forcing himself by the unconstitutionals who came to him from Biscay, Alava, and Guipuscoa. We SRC these pass by in twenties and thirties at a time; they disembark in boats at the port of Socoa, where, after four or fived.sys quarantine, they receive routes• it is the directors of the Army of the Faith, who are still in our town, who deliver these routes. • «On the other hand, Lopez Banos is reinforced by troops from Castile, among others by the cavalry regiment Bourbon, and two battalions of active mi litia, who have entered Navarre by Lograno.— CM the first serious affair, which will be soon, the Army , of the Faith will be lost. This moment, while puttiag my letter in the post, I am assured, that after a bloody affair which took place towards the Valley of Bastano, at Lans, Quesada has been killed, and his army entirely destroyed. I believe this news pre mature; my first will instruct you as to the truth." FRANKFORT, JULY 6. (From the Spectateur Oriental.) The English corvette the Medina arrived at Smyrna on the 19th. Before quitting the island of Crete it made a visit to the Greeks. Those of that isle pub lished some time ago a proclamation, by which they declared it in a state of blockade ; but the Powers not having made any account of this proclamation, and having continued to send ships to this interest ing point of Turkey, the Greeks took two Austrian ships, an English ship, and a French one, which wished to enter the Ganee, and conducted them to St. Theodosius. The Commandant of the Medina, summoned the Greeks, watch in hand, to restore instant'y the Eng lish ship, as well as the papers, which the Greek Go vernor had appropriated. The latter, seeing the ur gency of the case, was obliged to repair on board the corvette. He asked the Commander if he was ig norant of the proclamaticin which declared the island of Crete in a state of blockade? He wished arm wards to enter into explanations, to justify this mca sure, demanded by circumstances ; but the English Commandant answered sharply, that he did not send for him to hear his reasons; that he cared nothing for the declaration of blockade which he might have made ; and that, if in half an hour the English vessel and its papers were not restored, he was prepared to sink all the Greek ships that he might find. It may easily be conceived, that the English vessel was in stantly restored. Before parting, the English Com mandant conceived himself bound to give the Greek Governor some charitable advice respecting the other European vessels seized, informing him that he might also naturally expect to receive a visit from the French and Austrians. The Catholics of Noxi, always in danger of being massacred by the Greeks, and more afraid than ever, kept themselves for some days carefully shut up in their frail citadel, when they saw the corvette the Medina appear. The English Commandant, having informed himself of the state of things, of the con stantly increasing exasperation of the Greeks, threat ened the latter with razing their town if they offered the slightest insult either to the European agents or to the Latins. He demanded besides, before parting, that the Primates should give guarantees for their promises to respect hereafter all the Latin and Greek Catholics.

On Saturday we noticed the debate in the Cortes at Lisbon, on the Report of the Committee respecting Brazil; we have since received Papers which bring the proceedings one day later. The principal point of discussion on the 28th ult. was the conduct of the Prince Royal. Senor Mom z TAVAREZ vindicated the Prince in a long speech. Senor RIBERIO D'AN DRADA took a comprehensive view of the whole pro ceedings, and concluded by proposing, " that his Royal Highness should be informed that the Cortes could not but censure the indiscreet and unsuit able expressions which he had addressed to them ; and still more, the indecorous and violent terms used by the Junta of Saint Paulo, the Bishop of the same Province, the Vice-President of Minas Geraes, and the Junta of Pernambuco; that for this time they threw over the whole the veil of obli vion, and left it to his MAJESTY to act according to his wisdom and discretion, if his Royal Highness and the authorities under,him should become sensible how much they had deviated from the true constitutional ,path ; and it should likewise be left to his MAJESTY'S discretion, if those authorities should persist in their forbidden course, to have thernproceeded against ac. cording to the laws." Several other M.:tubers dcli- - S - ' Ted their opinions both for and agaima *opi n i ons the Committee, but the debate was thin concluded, M. Panama* Bovea disapproved of the recom. meadation of the Committee to lrt the Prince remai n in Brazil till the publication of the additional Act or the Constitution. According to advices from Santa Fe de Bogeta, o r e 16th April, the Columbian Congress had pe me d a decree for continuing, ad interim, the payment o f tithes. A aegociation was to be opened with tip Holy See for a concordat as to ecelesiastitral matters. A friendly interview was appointed to take place be. tureen Generals SA x MAars si and BouvA a, at Guys. quil, to establish a mutual understanding on var i ous points involving the general interests of South A. ries. SAN MARTIN had sulanoned a Constitutional Assembly to meet at Lima on the Ist of May.

But we need not go to Sxeden for such a contrast, as we have it much nearer home, in Irish famine and Eng. lish superabundance. The Canton of Schaffhausen has now acceded to the prohibitory measures adopted by somP of tle Swiss Cantons. Zutich seems as little inclined as Basil to adopt thee measures, though Berne has done so. A. Zurich Journal say% that the great Coun cil, during its Summer Session from the 17th to 21st June, discussed among other matters the commercial relations with foreign countries, which were dis• cussed with perfect impartiality and in conformity with the experience of centuries, and the peculiar situation of the Swiss Cantons, and not with a view to passing events, or measures the imitation of which, though it would be called reprisal, would have injurious consequences, and make bad worse.— The following are extracts : BERLIN, JULY 6.
