SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 28th ult., like those of
the presiding day, contain no political news. They
state that in consequence of the depredations com-
mitted in the provinces of Seville and Cadiz, by
armed bands of brigands, levies of citizens had been
made to join the civil guard in the search after them
which they were about to undertake. The journals
state also that the fortifications of Carthagena are
being carried on with great activity. They gave rather
long details respecting the return of the Infante Don
Sebastian, who has been in exile for five and twenty
years. The Disclaims had been seized. The price
of wheat was declining all over Spain.
