SPAIN.
MADRID, Oar. M.

Senor Ayala, the Minister for the Colonies, has
sent a circular to the colonial governess repeat-
ing the declaration already made by the provisional
government, to the effect that the colonies
shell enjoy the advantage of the state of
affairs created by the revolution. The Mi-
nister says :—The Government will adopt for
the colonies an electoral system on as large a
basis as possible, and will reserve to the Cortes the
exclusive solution of all questions affecting the in-
terest of the colonies. In oonclusion Senor Ayala
promises that the revolution will proceed pru-
dmtly in these matters, and will not violently des-
troy established rights.
The Council of Ministers has approved the
report of Senor Figuerola on thirlinanclal position
of the country. The mode by which it is proposed
to meet the requirements of the Treasury will
shortly be publWied. It is probable that a loan
for 800 millions of trines, to be named by pnblie
subscription, will be issued in Spain and foreign
countries.

PARIS, Oa. 28.

The lionitewr of to-day in its bulletin says :
" The Ministers of Prussia and Italy have re-
sumed their relations with the Spanish govern-
ment, as also tho Papal Nuncio, who has had an
interview with the Minister of Foreign Affairs."

FRANCE
PARIS. Oor.
The (habit of this evening says that Prussia is
disposed to respond to the conciliatory and peace-
ful policy of Prance. Count Bismarck, it says,
has forwarded to Potsdam a draft of the speech
which the Ring is to deliver on the • of the
Chambers on the 4th proximo, and w • , it is
affirmed in diplomatic circles, is to be a speech of
peace.

- The Moniker, du Bair, in its bulletin, sayyss:—
" The Bulgarian committee, which has established
itself at Bucharest as the oentre of the revolu-
tionary propaganda, continues its intrigues, the
development of which will have to be watched by
the powers with active and vigilant solicitude.
The Ottoman government, while abstaining from
acts of provocation, shows itself resolved to repress
with severity every attempt at revolution."

THE NEW MAP OF FRANCE.
FARM Oar. 28, Erimmas.

The nr w map of France, which has been so much
spoken of, was issued to-day. It is accompanied
by a preface, which speaks as follows of the pre-
sent map of Europe :—" Under the Second Respire
France has regained her natural frontiers, the Alps.
Italy ham become a free country. Holland has burst
the chains which bound her to the German Con-
federation in virtue of her possession of Limburg
and Luxemburg. The Germanic Confederation
has been dissolved, the Federal fortresses
have ceased to exist ; Mayence is now
occupied by Prussia alone ; Landau and Germer-
sheim belong to Bavaria, and are garrisoned by
her ; Rastadt is occupied by Baden troops, and
Ulm by Bavaria and Wurtemburg together.
Prussia is materially increased, but in reality the
European balance of power is not destroyed to
the detriment of France. Before the recent events
Prussia and Austria united were the rulers of
Germany, and they could oppose us with eighty
millions of men, bound together by triiaties siad
a formidable military organiiation. To-day the
states surrounding France are independent ;
Belgium and Switzerland are neuter ; Prussia,
with the North German Confederation, counts
30 millions, the South German States having a
military alliance with Prussia count 8 millions,
Austria 33 millions, and Italy 22 millions. France,
with her unity and her 40 millions of inhabitants,
including Algeria, has nothing to foar from any-
one."

RUSK&
ST. PETERSI3I.IIIO, Oar. SI
The Joignal do St. l'eteraboury of to-day pub-
lishes an article headed " Peace or War,' in
which it argues that it is quite possible that peace
may be maintained in Europe notwithstanding
the armaments of the different Powers. Discussing
the eventuality of a war between France and
Prussia, the article says :—" If France, victo-
rious, should advance beyond the Rhine,
and in case the Duchy of Posen
should become the scene of an agitation
which would extend to Russian Poland, the
Russian army would have to actively watch over
the maintenance of order, and a rapid and ener-
getic national movement would spread over the
Russian empire. On the day when the French
eagles advance victoriously into Germany the re-
collection of the First Empire will revive in our
minds, and master every other thought."

lirTlWEllt AT LivEnToOL.—A fearful caw of
stabbing occurred at Li I on Tuesday night, the
victim being a man named Biohard Donovan, • striker at
• foundry; and the name of the murderer, James Braith-
waite, • tailor. The facts of the came are as follows:
About 7 o'clock on Tuesday evening the deceased and •
man named Corbett, in company with Braithwaite, was
Foaming along London-roed, when a man, an entire
▪ aM to theca, accidentally ran against Braithwaite,
who became imitated in consequence. He soon cooled
down, however, and the three men proceed to the resi-
dence of Corbett, in Thudow There Braithwaite
borrowed 4<l. from Corbett ; upon which Donovan asked
the former to give him the money in part payment of a
shilling which he had borrowed from him previously.
Donovan then went and told Mrs. Corbett to go and bring
in her husband, who was having some n
tion with • drunken tailor. Donovan then left Colett's
house, and was proceeding homewards, apparently de-
drove of avoiding any further altercation with Braith-
waite, when the latter followed him, and struck him
heavily on the breast, exclaiming as he did so, "I'll be
even with you." Immediately on being struck, Donovan
ran away, pursued by Braithwaite for several yards, who
then turned round and ran after Corbett, but failed
to overtake him. Information was at once given
to the police, who were soon present. At the
corner of Morgan-street they found Donovan lying
on his back in the street, with blood Bowing
freely from a wound in his breast. He wee enabled to
sp -rok, and expired soon after. The wound was • small
one, so far us the width of the blade of the knife was con-
certed, but was about 3} inches deep. The police having
reeeivtd information as to where Braithwaite redded, pro-
ceeded at once to the house, where they found him, and
took him into custody. He was perfectly sober, and ex-
premed no remorse for the crime he had perpetrated. The
prisoner Braithwaite was yesterday brought before the
Liverpool magistrates, and after some preliminary evi-
dence the further hearing of the charge was adjourned
until • modem examination was held upon the body
of the deosusd

SQUARING THE CIRCLII.—At last week's sitting
of the French Academy of Science* the perpetual secre-
tary announced that a newspaper had recently revived
an old story to the effect that the Academy was in paves-
lion of a considerable mum bequeathed to it as a reward
for any person who might discover the quadrature of the
circle. He, therefore, suggested the propriety of

to in 1776, of never more devoting the slightest
attention to the -'-lions that might be mat in
