SPAIN.

Most of the Madrid journals of the 17th are opposed
to the conclusion of peace, and demand the occupation
of Tangier. The Gatette states that as General
Buceta, Governor of Melilla, in making the recent
sortie from that place against the Moore, violated
orders given him by the general-in-chief, he was to
be placed under arrest and brought to trial. In the
sortie the Spaniards were surrounded by the Moors,
and had, not 182 men killed and wonaded, as stated
by telegraph, but 200. A letter says that doubts
were entertained that the Emperor of Morocco
would accept the propositions of peace which are to
b. =side to him;

M. Thotimmers despatch of the 12th was pre-
sented two days ago by the Duke of Grammont to
Cardinal Autonelli. The secretary of the Roman
States ham, in his reply, confined himself to stating
that immediately upon receiving the orders of the
Sovereign Pontiff he will place the Nuncio at Paris
in a position to communicate the intentions of the
Papal government. The most influential members
of the Holy College affirm that the Pope holds in
mediums a motuproprio, already signed, realising
the promisee of Gaeta, but that before promulgating
it, Pius IX. demands that the patrimony of St.
Peter shall be guaranteed to him.
