THE BALTIC.

KIEL, Nov. 14.—N0 sooner had Admiral Sey-
mour left with the Exmouth than Admiral Dundas
makes his appearance with the Duke of Welling-
ton, so that it may now truly be said that the cam-
paign in the Baltic is at an end for this year. It
has been blowing a stiff breeze from E.N.E., and
the Duke has come up the bay this afternoon iu
beautiful style, under canvas, without making use
of her steam-power. The weather is now rather
cold, although hitherto wo have had noither frost
nor snow here, but further up the Baltic it appears
they have had a good taste of both. The other
vessels of the large class may now soon be expected,
but it is said that the Orion, Captain Erskine, and
the Majestic,. Captain Hope, are to remain iu the
upper gulf attached to the squadron of Admiral
Baynes as long as it is possible for them to do so,
as some of the Russian line-of-battle ships are re-
ported to be quite ready for sea at Cronstadt.
Nov.. 10.—Owing to thick fogs, excessive dark
nights, and strong currents, the Exmouth, Colos-
sus, and James Watt made narrow escapes on
closing Bornholm ; the James Watt was very
nearly on shore, the Colossus got round the south
point of the island instead of the north, and stopped
her engines and fired guns for a pilot, whD, when
he came, appeared unable to tell them their where-
abouts ; so they waited till daylight (the Bth), and
then retraced their steps, and on approaching the
north side (an end) of the island, she observed the
Exmouth had touched on the sand, about six or
eight feet of her fore-foot being in the sand. She
was backed off with the aid of an anchor and cable
laid out to assist, and then, with the Colossus in
company, proceeded to this anchorage.

SPAIN.
MADRID, Nov. 12,

A serious state of things has suddenly arisen at
Saragossa. The high price of provisions and ex-
nortation of corn by the Ebro was the pretext ;
but it would appear that the movement is also of a
political character. Soon after the Cortes met to-
day, and when the routine business had been dis-
posed of, Senor Huelves, Minister of the Home
Department, read two telegraphic despatches from
Saragossa, the first of which stated that on
the afternoon of yesterday numerous groups col-
lected and assumed a riotous attitude, declaring
their determination to prevent the departure of
several barques, which were going down the Ebro
laden with corn, and to burn them. The troops
and National Guards were called out, and the popu-
lace desisted from their intent. The authorities and
Corporation met, the latter declaring itself in lA.-
manent session. At a late hour of the night every-
thing seemed quiet. The second despatch, how-
ever, dated at 9 this morning, says that the crowd
had assembled again, that the generale was beating
for the order to form in battalions, and that the
result was doubtful ; while another despatch, re-
ceived by the Government this afternoon, says that
General Gurrea, Captain-General of Arragon, is
not satisfied that the means at his disposal are
sufficient to repress the disturbance. After the
Home Minister had made these communications,
the Duke de la Victoria rose, and declared that
while the Government desired to promote and con-
solidate the liberty and welfare of the country
it was firmly determined to cause the laws to be re-
spected,d and to chastise with ri
might be, or what-
ever whoever oppose
them, however numerous
they
might assume, which declaration
produced i
mask they
considerable sensation. It s said that
among the cries given at Saragossa were some di-
rected against Senor Bruil and General O'Donnell.
The Cortes were afterwards occupied with the Con-
scription Bill, and subsequently with the debates
on the new Constitution : many articles of both
were carried.

The article which gave rise to the difference be-
tween Senor Olozaga and the Ministry has been
modified by inserting in its place the corresponding
articles of the Constitution of 1837. Nothing more
has transpired respecting the question of Senor
Olozaga's resignation, which appears to remain in
statu quo, though many think that the necessity of
the case will cause matters to be amicably arranged
in the end. The Saragossa affair is considered very
serious.
The funds are rather lower to-day. The Three
per Cents, were done, however, during Bolsa hours
at 34.30 ; and the Deferred at 20.20.

THE AMERICAN AND AUSTRALIAN MAILS.—LITER-
POOL, Saturday.—The United States mail steam-ship
