SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 2nd publishes a return,
from which it appears that the taxes in Spain, in
April, presented a diminution of 4,161,051 reals,
compared with the corresponding month of the pre-
ceding year. In this diminution, 3,096,410 reals
figure for the customs. The ministers had not come
to a definitive decision with respect to the concession
of the Northern Railway.

THE ATTEMPTED MURDER NEAR EXETER.—AI.
though the police have been very vigilant in their inquiries
for the man who was seen in company with the Jew pedlar,
they have not yet succeeded in finding him. It appears,
however, that for the present it is useless to prosecute fur-
ther inquiry, inasmuch as the injured man persists in saying
that the dreadful injuries on his head " came on of them-
selves." He has, it is understood, varied his story. At
one time he intimated that be had received the injuries
from another person, who was his companion, by a stone;
and it will be recollected that a very large stone, covered
with hair and blood, was found near him, when lying pros-
trate in the copse. It was utterly impossible that such in-
juries could have been produced by the poor fellow himself,
and it is sincerely hoped that, if he should recover, he will be
able to give some definite account of the dreadful affair. On
Monday Mr. Steel, the Superintendent of the Exeter
Police, stated to the Exeter Bench of Magistrates that he
was in possession of important information respecting the
affair. lie knew the name of the party who was with the
injured man, and he bad hie description. When Mr. St&
visitei the latter, he admitted that he knew the person who
was in his company, and said he should like to see him ; but
he positively refused to enter into particulars, and denied that
the other man injured him.

The chief news of interest by this arrival is from
mui,o• We learn from New Orleans' under date
Nay 25, that the steam ship Texas. with dates from
Vera Cruz to the 2:llid inst., had arrived there. She
reports that on the 17th a revolution broke out there
among
the National Guards, in consequence of on
miler from government to incorporate the Nationals
with the trunpv of the line. The revolution lasted
three days, during which business was entirely sus-
wird ; the regular troops having possession of
both the forts, and the Notional Guards of the streets
ad city gates. Brisk firing was kept up during the
whale time. But the affair was finally ended on the
11tithbv the entrance of a large body of regular troops
from Jalapa, who took fifty cf the Nationals pri-
soners, when quiet was restored. About fifty of the
National Guards were killed, and many wounded.
The dates from the city of Mexico are to the 18th
Santa Anna had issued many other arbitrary de-
my,. One of them suspended legislative authority
of all kinds throughout the republic, and the offices
of governor and military commandant were united
in the tame person. Another decree, disarming all
private eitizois, prohibits the possession of arms,
wider, or nny kind of munitions; and another
triug, the telegraph under the control of govern-
ment.
.‘ decree had been published for the arrest of all
who served in the army during the late war, as
guerilla., to be tried by court martial.
A list of Mexican officers who surrendered as pri-
soners of war to General Scott, when the capital war
taken, had been published, and a decree broiled de-
grading thent from their rank in the army, and dis-
mlseing them from all civil employment.
The army was being re-organuied and increased.
Several new battalions had been created. Under
the new enlistment, a National Guard is to be or-
pnised.
Lambardini had been promoted to a general of '
division.
Sesta Anna has ordered the re:nains of all soldiers
who fell in the American war to be disinterred and
pieced in suitable sepulchres, and the names of
Generals Vasquez and Leon, killed in the war, to be
inscribed on the bashers of the army, they being
considered as promoted to generals of division before
their deaths.
A levee was held of all officers and soldiers who
were mutilated in the American war, at which a
feeling address was made by Santa Anna, who said
the country would never forget them.

based upon a government loan of from eight to twelve
millions of dollars.. _

with 130 men and 130 officers, to command the
levies of militia he has made upon El Paso, La Real,
sod Sineca, from which places he had made a call for
700 men.

drawal of the Mexican minister from Washington,
war with Spain, &o. General Montenegro, with
6,000 men, is reported as ex route from Sonora, and
General Morales, with 2,000 men, is expected daily

great, and all breathe war sad death to Los Amen-
canos.
&deur, the Mexican Boundary Surveyor, is just

the Mexican government to consider as a declaration
of war the refusal on the part of the United States

BOSTON, MAT 26.
We have Halifax papers to the 17th inst. On the
16th, the British ship-of-war Cumberland, bearing
the flag of Vice-Admiral Seymour, with the admiral
and his family on board, arrived from Bermuda. The
admiral is charged with the protection of the fishing
interests of the provinces. The British war steamer
Devastation had left Bermuda for the Newfoundland
coast.

Halifax' papers, by the Europa, state that, in addi-
tion to the large naval force already centered at
Halifax to protect the fisheries from American en-
croachments, the admiral will fit out half a dozen
smell craft for the same purpose, and the governments
of Neva Scotia and New Brunswick will also aid in
the matter.

The people of Newfoundland have been a good
deal startled by a rumour that Belle Isle was to be
ceded to the French government ; and an address to
the Queen, remonstrating against it, has been nume-
rously signed.
ST. JOHN, N. 8., Mar 26.
Her Majesty's war steamer Argus, Commander
Purvis, has arrived at Halifax from Portsmouth,
