SPAIN.

MADRID, MAT 11.
Yeettrdey the long-looked-foe discussion on the
authorieation asked by vverement to levy cont. %o-
tiose iu conformity with the report of the committee
took place. 'lke amendment of the deputy Bermudez
de Castro was brought forward by that indefatigable
gentleman in a I. ngtby speech, in anich Mon's mea-
sures were mercilessly belaboured. The summing up
of his charges is the following:
1. Sauneutation of contributions not twilled.
2. Violation of the solemn pavenise rases tothe tax-payen
to pay them back the forced loan of 100 millions.
3. The complete Defeat of the public debt (a debt gua-
ranteed by the national honcur), and thereby hatpin Spain
in a normal state of bankruptcy.
4. Inattention to public obligations.
6. Inaeuing exhaustion of the trawary.
6. The public rents always consented beforehand by bur-
theism's operations.
The data upon which these charges are unstained
may be condensed into the following account :
Compuative account between the °Mk/lakes and re

Instead of availing himself of the 1,281 millions of

have been able to diipies of 681 million', he made a
new debt of 2,000 millions in till*. of the Three per

The minister will reply today; but we don't sae
how he can explain away there figures. His fell is
looked upon merely as a thing adjourned for a brief
spaos.
The Count of Montemolie, having given directions
through his agents that all the chieftains acting
under his name, &c., should retreat into France, end
the men to make their submission to the queen, there
is an end to this affair.
The long-expected adjudication of the quicksilver
contract took place to-day, or rather it did not take
, place, for there were no bidder,. Mr. Weisweiler,
agent of Messrs. Rothschild, and another gentle.
man, agent of Messrs. Corredor and Co., of Aarin-
' friars, gene it to be understood that, without
a knowledge of the limit to which the produce of the
mines might go, or the exact quantity in stock
in London and elsewhere, belonging to the go-
vernment, it was impossible to fix a proper bidding.
The minimum price hiving been fixed by the govern-
meat at 86 dole. per qql, nothing more could be'
said about it : for all purposes, 200 dole. might es well
have been named. Under the peculiar circumstances
of the case, with upward. of 25,000 qql•. in stock
and in pawn in London, besides the quantity that
Messrs. Rothschild hold f their old contract, it is evi-
dent that it neitbercan answer the views of the govern-
ment nor of M. Rothschild that any contract should be
made at the prices which , the present value in the
market should justify.

A letter from Civita Vecchia, of the Bth inst , pub-
lished in the Notional, says that a council was held
at Palo cn the 7th inst., at the quarters of General
Ondinot, t►e ministers of France, &gland, and

which the triumvirate have replied by saying that
Rome never wanted to make war with France.
Garibaldi has retired towards Tivoli, and demanded

The desperate resolution is attributed to him of
marching on Naples, which is ungarded, to rake the
people there. It is probable, as the Debate says, that
he will hold himself on tue other ede of the Tore-
tone, to annoy the Neapolitans in their march.

the deplorable events of the preceding day should be
submitted to. a rigid investigation. The same as-
surances was given in a letter from M. Dietz, the com-
mandant of the city.
Propositions relative to the seeding away of the
troops belonging to the states, which have not recog-
nised the constitution, were presented by MM.I

Treves, to the effect that the Committee of Thirty
*liquid be ordered to terminate its report before four
o'clock on the propositions above, was rejected by 183
votes agaicst 147.
On the resumption of the sitting at 4, it was un-
derstood that the majority of the Committee of Thirty
recommended that the Central Power be invited to
change the garrison at Frankfort, and only leave
there the troops of those governments that have re-
cognised the constitution. The minority demanded
an order of the day, grounded on the explanation of
the Minister of War. A short but violent debate
ensued, in which the Minister of War &awed that
measures fee preserving the public tranquillity bad
been taken; and the house was proceeding to the
vote on the order of the day propped by the mi-
nority of the committee when the post left.

The Darmstadt Gusrite considers that 20,000 men

Other witnesses were examined, whose evidence has al-
ready been reported, the only alteration being the applica-
