A Supplemental Gazettewas published last even-

extending all over Germany. Bamberg, \furs•

are the cities in
.which this intolerant spirit has
principally manifested itself. At Dusaeltlorff a
placard was posted up announcing a massacre of

from a Madrid Paper an official article. addressed
by the King of SPAIN to the several Councils of
the kingdom, in which his Majesty informs them
of the various solicitaf a made to him by several
religious and civil corporate bodies, representing to
him " how necessary it was to the well-being of
the nation in general, and of all Cliiisteoulutn," tint
he should by " a slew oop►ial union secure the le-
gitimate succession of the throne on which Divine
Providence has placed him," and then apprises
them of his condescension in listening to their
ardent prayers, and of his having chosen for his
Queen a Princess of Saxony. His MA.IEsTI CX-

flow favourable to the Calk.lie religion, and to his
subjects." We do not exactly see the reason that
could induce. King FERDINAND to represent his
marriage as tending so emphatically to the benefit
of the Catholic religion. We tire tint Ronne of any
design to subvert that religi,m in Spain or
where, nor is it manifest. even if it were in-

Some alarm was excited last morning at the
Stock Exchange. Eighteen failures have taken
plaice within the week. and yesterday ■n eminent
Lottery Office-keeper was declared a defaulter.
The amount of stock sold by him, on which he is
not able to make good the difference, is variously
estimated at between 600,000/. and one nnlliou ;
but we are assured that the actual deficiency does
not exceed 16,000/. Thi., on the ordinary scale
of business among speculators in the fund.. is a
mere trifle.
