SPAIN.

The Gazette of to-day contains a decree appointing
Lieutenant-General Richard Shelly to the inspector-
ship of the cavalry, the place coveted by General
Serrano, and refused to him by Nereus in conse-
uence of the King Consort's remonstrances. Lieut.-
General Count Minuiol, who has returned from his
missi..n to the Isle of Cuba, has been appointed to the
captain-generalship of Andalu4a, which was offered
to and refused by General Serrano. Much excitement
has prevailed the last two days on account of a letter
havidg been received from Cuba, stating that Briga-
dier Ramon Sanchez, lieutenant-governor of Piaar
del Rio, bad put himself at the head of the garrison
of that place, and, aided by a number of mulattoes
bad raised the standard of rebellion. All the daily
prints have expressed themselves with great
vehemence on the subject. There is every reason,
however, to suppose that the news is premature, for
the letter is dated the 17th, and letters have been
received since that date, in which it is mentioned that
Brigadier Salas had set out for tLat place, at the head
of some cavalry, in consequence of rumours of a plot
among the coloured inhabitants; but not a word is
said about the defection of inches, who till now has
been highly esteemed in the army.
Two days ago, the present Minister of Finance,
Senor Bravo Murillo, laid before a cabinet council a
statement respecting the financial condition of the
country. The statement showed that the deficit of
this year is enormous. Bravo Murillo insisted either
on retrenchments or increased taxation, and, the rest
of the cabinet not agreeing with his views, Mon was
wet for. However, this morning the ministerial
prints contradict the whole story.

A decree in the Madrid Gazette, of the 24th inst.,
orders the dismissal of a oensiderable number of
officers, natives of Cuba and other American pos-
sessions, from the regiments in garrison in the island.
