SPAIN.

According to the Madrid papers, the government
had negotiated 20,000,000 reals (5,000,000 f.) in
Treasury bills, under the guarantee of the Bank
of San Fernando, at 81 per cent. Some forged
bonds of the loan of 230,000,000 reals had been
discovered at Granada.

In an engagement which took place at Melilla on
the 20th ult., the Moors, commanded by a Morocco
Prince, had a considerable number of men killed
and wounded.

THE BALTIC.
KIEL, Dec. 4.—Yesterday the Locust joined the
meet from Farosund, where she had been sent with
despatches for Admiral Baynes, and the mails
for the squadron still up the Baltic. The weather
has been very severe up the Gulf of Finland, the
thermometer being as low as 4 deg., but as yet the
ice has not formed in the deep water.
At Faro, the Locust left on the 30th the Retri-
bution, Esk, Cossack, Magicienne (with her boilers
wanting repair), Gorgon, Driver, and Porcupine ;
the rest of the squadron are cruising at the en-
trance to the Gulf of Finland and along the coast
of Courland. I have it from good authority that
the allied fleet will leave the Bay of Kiel, for Eng-
land, on the 7th or Bth, being the same date they
left last year.

The following letter appears in the Independance
Be?ge :—" _Ramberg, Dec. 3.—1 have been made
acqaain!ed to-day with an intereatiug circumstance
connected with the recent passage of General Can-
robert through Kiel. It may, I believe, contri-
bute to afford your re iders some idea of the direc-
tion the war is likely to asinine next spring. On
his arrival from Copenhagen the General immedi-
ately waited on Rear-Admiral Penaud, on board
the Tourville, and despatched an officer to Admiral
Dundas with an invitation to join him in the
French ship. The conference of the three military
men lasted four hours. Several charts and maps
of Finland and of the other Russian provinces on
the shores of the Baltic wore spread on the
table, and carefully examined by them. It was
believed at Kiel that the two Admirals and
the future Commander-in-Cnief of the army had
discussed and agreed on the points wbie
appeared to them most. favourable to laud, next
spring, an allied army in the Russian Baltic pr, -
vinces. This fact is no longer questioned by any-
body either at Stockholm or Copenhagen. General
Canrobert, in his conversations, repeatedly con-
firmed it, and several companies of merchants are
already being formed with a view to bid for tle
victualling of the invading army. A formidable
fleet, reinforced by a great number of gun-boats
and floating batteries, will re-enter the Baltic in
1856 at the opening of the navigation and blockade
all the coasts, while the army, commanded by Ge-
neral Canrobert, will simultaneously operate in
Finland and in the three Russian provinces of
Courland, Esthonia, and Livonia. According to
the last accounts from Stockholm and Copenhagen,
it appears certain that no division of the allied
squa -Irons will winter in a port of those two coun-
tries. The French corvette Pelican, commanded
by Captain Duperre, which, since the arrival of
General Canrobert, remained at his disposal in the
roads of Copenhagen, sailed yesterday for France."
