SPAIN.

According to the Lsbert4 the Spanish insurrec-
tion is far from being suppressed. " The province
of Alicante," it says, " is in insurrection, and its
capital has risen with the assistance of some
artillerymen and an infantry regiment. Large
numbers of troops and artillery have been sent
from Madrid and Galicia, and insurgent bands
continue in Catalonia and Aragon. General Prim
is undoubtedly in Spain, and if we are to credit a
letter, which has been received from him in Paris,
he is preparing a grand and unexpected coup."

THE CATHOLIC CONGRESS. —At the second sitting
of the Catholic Congress at lifelines, Mgr. Dupsnloup,
Bishop of Orleans, Count de Falloux, and Father Hyacinthe
were present. The bishop pronounced a few words which
were highly applauded. At Rome the prelate had said:—
" Elsewhere, people believe in the church ; here they see ,
it." At Matinee he observed :—" We know that the sacred
fire is immortal in the church ; but here the flame
is risible." The Journal de Bruxelles states that during
the space of an hour IL de Falloux " captivated the as.
sembly under the charm of his words, admirable for their
delicacy and earneetness," but it does not reveal the sub-
ject of this " seductive and pathetic improvisation."
DEATH OT THE EX-EMPEROR SOCTLOUQUE.—ITILEI-
- has been received of the decease of Faustin 1.,
better known as Soulouque, aged 78. He was born in 1789,
in the house of a mulatto family, in the south of the Isle
of Hayti. Born a slave, he became free by the decree of
1790, and when but a br;y,. in 1803, took part in the insur-
rection of the negroes against the French. He served
several generals as aide-de-camp, was made a captain in
1820, when he became a favourite of the President Boyer.
President Herard promoted him in 1844 to the rank of
colonel, and Guerrier made him a general of brigade ; in
1846 he had just been promoted to he • general of division,
when the President Roche died, and to his great astonish-
ment he was chosen president. It would seem that his head
was turned by his elevation, for he waged • terrible war
against the mulattoes and against the townspeople, and
he contrived to have himself chosen emperor, when he
assumed the title of Faustin the First. He instituted the
Order of St. Fenster, and created no fewer than 400 peers,
of whom four were princes and 59 dukes. Ho sent to
Paris to have a crown made for him, which was imitated
I from that of Napoleon 1., and held a solemn coronation.
He bad countless squabbles with his nobles, and tried to
conquer the republic of St. Domingo, but was defeated.
lie was • great admirer of Napoleon L, whom he endea-
voured to imitate in every way, even to the Mintitjje of
his dress. He was, however, tyrannical, and was at length
driven from his throne in 1859, by Gerhard, who was
elected president of the restored republic. floolotique was
permitted to retire with all his property and that of his
family, and took up his residence in Jamaica, where he
remained till allowed to return to his native island, when
he died at Petit Goyave. Soulouque was fond of display
and dress, and had a childish love of tinsel and tawdry
finery. However, he led a quiet. retired life in Jamaica,
and had eviden,ly made a prudent provision for the wants
of his exile.
