that on the 15th Colonel Baxecos had surprised the
band commanded by Tristany, had killed eight-and-
twenty of them, and taken Triatany a prisoner to

The Ey) del C,,,,te-eiq draws a gloomy picture of
the present position of things in Spain, and in the
course of it says, that the Queen and King have now
two separate courts, which, if not downright enemies,
are still declared rivals, and dislike and are hostile
to each other. The same journal denounces the go-
vernment fur the arbitrary arrests which, it says, it
MUMS to be made daily; and for having sent the police
to search the houses of several eminent members of
the Progresssist party ; among others that of M.
Huertas, on the pretence that they had secreted arms.
One of the journals says that the government has
made the allowance to Gen. Narvaez double what
heretofore had beer, given to Spanish ambassadors in
France. M. Nocedal and M. Benavides have been
re-elected deputies. The accounts from the provinces
are unimportant; but great agitation existed in
Navarre on account of the dearness of food.

HOLLAND,—ANISTMRDAM, MAY 18.—His impe-
rial highness the At chduke Constantine of Russia, travelling
under the nameol C epteie Romanoff, ie expected to arrive
by the second ordinary train Irons Arnheim. His imperial
highness prop .see remaining here two days, and then pro-

THE HAGUE, MAY 19.—The Second Chamber of

government. After a reply by the Minister of Finance to
various objections brought f irward in the course of the
debate, and the (petition being put, the law was voted by a
majority i-f 44 to 10.
GERNIANY.—PnossiA.—BERLIN, MAY 18.—The
begisouing of the debate in the meeting of the combined
rotates, of the 14th in.tont, on the proposal to establish land-
rent Nuke in ell the provinces has appeared to-day. The
nature and object of the proptsal is as follows. The lands
ache peasantry are subjected to many burdens, from which
those of the equestriau order are exempted. The tendency
of Prussian legislation has for many years been to favour tree
abolition of these annual bierdeus, upon the payment of a
fixed sum, which may be considered as the capital of which
tney are the interest by the peasant proprietor. Want of
capital among the p: es entry has retarded the progress of this
arrangement. To accelerate it the provincial diets of
Silesia and Posen, have pas.ed enactments to establish
banks authorised Ot issue paper on the security of
p. a.ent tenth. With this piper the peasant may
purchase the emancipation of his property from the claims of
his overlord, and fir the use of it he p 'ye a moderate interest
and pines the bank a prior security on his land. A lame-
what similar legated in has been established in thii Peeler-
born &stn. tof the province of Westphalia. The Prussian
govt rument hue submitted to the estates-general a draft or-
dinance 18r establishing similar hanks in ail provinces. This
is the ordinance on watch vie combined court met to deli.
berate on the 14th. It is advocated first on the ground that
by emancipating the peasant proprietors from heavy burdens
it will give them more arlf-confl.lence and intelligence; that
by inerea.ing the value of land it will add to the national
wealth ; that the paper of the banks will come opportunely
to aid the deficient circulating medium.
Sterns, MAY 15.—Within the last 10 or 12 days,
vegetation has rapidly advanced, in oinsequence of the
favourable weather which hit act in. In some of the fields
the rye is already in ear. Should th a weather contleue,

very early—whether abundant or out time alone an show.
