SPAIN

The Moniieur of Sunday publishes the following
despatch from the French Consul at St. Sebastian,
dated August 2 :
" Yesterday at noon the Queen's troops entered
Saragossa, without the least resistance. The
utmost tranquility prevails in the city. The
Militia has been disarmed, and the municipality
changed."
A letter has been received from Aladrid, in which
the writer thus adverts to passing events :
General Falcon, who commanded at Saragossa
before the capitulation, has arrived with a number
of his friends at the frontiers 'of France. The ,
Spanish government will increase the number of
the regular army by 12,000 men. Despatches this
evening .say the whole of Spain continues to be
tranquil. I understand the present advisers of the
Queen of Spain have declared to the government
of the Emperor of the. French, that it is not the
intention of her Majesty or O'Donnell to change
the fundamental form of government at Madrid.
It is proposed that the Constitution of 1845-6
should be promulgate& which, it will be remem-
bered, is much more restricted than the majority
of. Spaniards would hitherto accept. As far as I
can learn,. O'Donnell is now employed. in endeavour-
ing to incorporate the moderate men of all parties
in the interests of government. So much for official
news. I have a private letter before, me. which
declares the Queen to be very unpopular, and the
army by no means unanimous in its support of
O'Donnell, whose downfall ere long is declared to
be inevitable.
From the Madrid journals, of the 30th ult., we
learn that Catalonia, Gallicia, the two Castiles,
and the Basque Provinces were tranquil.
General Sanz, Commander-General of Zamora,
committed. suicide on the 25th. A letter, written
by the General, says that the recent events
prompted him to adopt that melancholy reso-
lution. _ _

The Gazette contains a decision of the Minister
of War, having for its object to accelerate the
formation of the provincial militias, or corps of
reserve. This measure proves that the Govern-
ment is determined to increase the effective force
of the army.
It was still believed that the Government, modi-
fying its original programme, intended preparing
a Constitution, and promulgating it without the
participation of the Cortes.
General Zabala, ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs,
having obtained permission to proceed to England,
took leave of the Queen on the 29th.
The Government hail _ been officially informed
that, the cholera had completely ceased at Seville.
The damage done to private property during the
conflict at Madrid was very great. The Duke de
Medina has sent in a claim to the amount of
2,250,000 francs on account of the ckstructiou of
his furniture and pictures.

AUSTRIA,

The Deutchsland publishes a letter from Vienna,
in which we read the following :--( The Cabinet of
Vienna is actively engaged at this moment with
the affairs of Naples. The Cabinet of the Tuileries
has communicated to the Cabinet of Vienna the
last note addressed to the Western Powers. by:the
Court of Naples, and has declared that the-govern-
ment of the Emperor Napoleon was in the highest
degree dissatisfidd with the principles expressed
in that document'; 'And, moreover, that', it was
mi deterned, witlkliii'Woperatiori' of England, to
constrain the Neapolitan government to giie way
to the legitimate demands of the Western Poivers.
Austria could not ~remain indifferent to the coma
munication of the French Cabinet, and she con-
tinues to represent to the Cabinet of -Naples, the
necessity of giving ,way to the Western :Powers ;
adding that, in the event of resistance; it must.not
count on the moral or physical support of Austria.
A new note =has been drawn up in this sense, and
