SPAIN,

The most authentic and latest intelligence from
Spain is contained in the subjoined telegraphic
despatches published by the Moniteur ou Thurs.
day. Those despatches are thus concluded :
From the French Consul to his Excellency the
Minister of Foreign Affairs :
BARCELONA, JULY 29, 3 P.M.
Order continues to reign at Barcelona. The
whole of Catalonia is in the power of the Queen's
troops. The Militia of Girona, like the Militia in
other localities, give up their arms, disperse, and
return to their homes.

From the French Ambassador to his Excellency
the Minister of Foreign Affairs:—

MADRID, JULY 30.
The authority of the Government of the Queen
is recognised throughout the whole of Spain, with
the exception of the interior of the town of Sara
gossa. Important intelligence is hourly expected.
From the French Consul to his Excellency the
Minister of Foreign Affairs :

ST. SEBASTIAN, JULY 30.
By a despatch dated this day, General Echague
announces that General Dulce is at La Muela, two
leagues from Saragossa. There is no news.
Private despatches from Madrid, dated July 29,
forwarded by telegraph, bring the subjoined intel-
ligence :
All the provinces of Spain recognise the authority
of the Government, except Saragossa. The resist-
ance shown by some localities in the centre and in
the east only lasted till sufficient time had elapsed
to dissipate the misapprehensions which had given
hopes of success to the insurgents. The disarma-
ment of the Militia has everywhere taken place,
and the army shows itself valiant and loyal. The
government is occupied in replacing weak or negli-
gent officials, without distinction of party. The
Queen seeks for union and activity in every branch of
the public administration. The correspondence of
the French journals is said to be in general incorrect,
and what it says of the strength of the insurrection
at Saragossa exaggerated. The reports set on foot
of discord and disunion in the Cabinet are totally
devoid of foundation. Madrid is perfectly tran-
quil. The troops of Generals Dulce and Echague
are before Saragossa. The majority of the in-
habitants of that city are anxious to surrender.
An excited minority, belonging to the lowest dregs
of society, alone attempt to resist. The govern
ment, above all things, endeavours to maintain
public order. General Espartero is living quietly
at Madrid, and has not received any annoyance.
The Epoca contains a long account of the recent
events at Barcelona. The minority of the Ayunta-
miento, it appears, had assumed the municipal
power, and called out the National Guard, one-
third of whom only responded to the appeal. The
remainder of the insurgents consisted of operatives,
republican journalists, and French refugees, com-
manded by democratic deputies, the most active of
whom was M. Franco. The Royal forces, under
General Zapatero, were composed of 16 battalions of
infantry , two regiments of cavalry, several brigades
of artillery, and 200 carbineers. The General had,
however, despatched a steamer to the Balearic
Islands, to fetch the corps of engineers quartered
at Mahon, who were extremely useful in blowin
up the buildings in which the revolters hit,l g entrenched themselves, and opening passages
through the houses. The fighting continued
without interruption from the evening of the 18th
until 3 o'clock p.m. on the 21st. The insurgents,
driven out of the city, retired on Garcia, where,
having attempted to make another stand, they
suffered severe losses. In the morning of the
21st the first alcade having assembled one hundred
National Guards on the square of San Jaime, sur-
prised a company of troops who defended the
tribunal. G,Nneral Villalonga, who took the mi-
litary command of the place when General Basols
was wounded, on being informed of this circum-
stance, forced his way to the building in which
the minority of the Ayuntamiento was sitting,
and seized the alcade and four others forming the
revolutionary junta. The casualties on both sides
are not yet known. Eight officers, One of whom
was a captain of engineers, Were killed and 20
wounded, and 60 soldiers were put hors de combat.
The loss of the insurgents is estimated at 1,300

slain, wounded, or prisoners. The latter amount
to about 500. Some of the edifices of the city have
been greatly damaged.

AUSTRIA.

We learn from Vienna under date of the 28th
ult., that no member of the Imperial family has
visited the King of Prussia since he has been at
Marienbad, and this apparent want of attention
to his Majesty is generally considered a proof of
the extreme coolness of the relations between the
two Courts. That the Austrian and Prussian
Governments have marvellously little sympathy
for each other is certain, but the Emperor and
the King are such very near relatives that politics
can hardly have any great influence on their pri-
vate intercourse. Whenever the King of Prussia
visits a watering place he likes to lead a quiet and
retired life, and this peculiarity being well known
to the Emperor, it may reasonably be supposed
that he has instructed the different members of his
family not to pay visits of ceremony to his
Majesty. Every habitual frequenter of Isehl
must have had opportunities of remarking
that the King of Prussia is never more in
his element than when he is able to enjoy the
beauties of nature without a suite of attendants,
and that he appears " bored " whenever he is
obliged to don the strait-waistcoat of royalty. As
the Empress is already well enough to leave her
room the Emperor will, in a few days, go to visit
his aunts the Queens of Prussia and Saxony, at
Toplitz, where he will probably meet his Royal
uncle, who returns to Berlin at the beginning of
next month. Her Majesty the Empi es has
already attended mass in the chapel which was
prepared in the Castle of Laxenburg for the
christening of the little Archduchess.
For some unknown reason, the London house of
Rothschild has refused to certify to the Secretary
of the London Stock Exchange the following facts
—First, that the concession for the construction of
the Vienna Linz-Salzburg Railroad was granted to
Messrs. Merck and Lindheim. Second, that the
Bank of Credit and Messrs. Rothschild are co-
founders (Mit Grunder). Third, that Government
guarantees 5 per cent interest and 2-10ths per cent
as a sinking fund. Fourth, that 30 per cent is
already paid in on the shares. On official autho-
rity I now state that the information contained in
the foregoing four points is perfectly correct.
On examining the volunteers sent back by Russia
from Odessa, it was found that only forty of them
were subjects of King Otho. The forty men were
disarmed and sent to their homes, but the other
660 were at once returned to his Russian Majesty. A fresh consignment from Odessa is daily expected
at Constantinople.
