The Madrid journals of the 30th ult. contain no
news of interest. A letter of the 31st ult., received
in advance of the mail, says : ' _ _ _

" Prince Adalbert, of before leaving Ma-
drid, bad a long conversation Rith the Infanta Isabella,
eldest sister of the King, and with the Infanta Maria
Amelia, whom he was to have married. The Minister of
Foreign Affairs is to return to-day from Biarritz, where
he went to see the Emperor of the French, but his Ma-
jesty had left before he arrived. The Emperor, however,
postponed his departure eleven hours, in the expectation
of his arrival. A junta, for examining and proposing re-
forms in the Customs Duties, has been formed under the
superintendence of the General Direction of Customs.
The voluntary subscriptions to the loan in the province
of Madrid are much higher than the newspapers repre-
sent ; they already amount to 2,400,000 reals (the real
is worth five sous), and it is supposed will reach
16,000,000 reals out of the 22,000,000 assigned to that
province. The cholera seems to be on the decline."
The Madrid Gazette of the 29th ult. contains the
following :
" It is certain that the representatives of France
and England at Madrid have never made, and
have consequently never renewed, an application
to the Spanish Government to send troops either to
the Crimea or to Italy. It is an error to suppose
that any division amonst the ministers, or a minis-
terial crisis, exists. The Minister of Foreign Af-
fairs, in going to Biarritz, had no other object,
apparent or real, than that of complimenting the
chief of the neighbouring State, in the name of the
Queen and the Spanish government ; any other
statement on the subject is devoid of all founda-
tion."
The other journals contain no news of interest.
According to Las Novedades the voluntary sub-
scription to the loan in Madrid, though required
to amount to 22,000,000 reals (the real is worth
five sous), had only reached 120,000 reals. The
Clamor Public() says that the Bank of San Fer-
nando had encountered some difficulty in pro-
viding funds to the Treasury to pay the claims
of the month of June, but that some pri-
vate friends of the Minister of Finance had
advanced the Treasury what it required. The
Clamor says also that the 20,000,000 reals bor-
rowed in Paris were shortly expected. The
Captain General of Catalonia having learned that
Carlist agents iu the principalities were endeavour-
ing to seduce soldiers from their duty, had issued
an order of the day to the troops offering 1,000
reals and his discharge to any soldier who should
denounce any man attempting to induce him to
violate his duty. A letter of the 30th ult., received
in advance of the mail, says :
" The Gazette publishes a royal ordinance regulating
the manner in which the delivery of the ecclesiastical
property is to be proceeded to, before being sold. The
Government is carrying out measures for the sale of such
property with great activity. The civil governor of
Madrid has seized all that is to be found in his district,
and the sale of it is to commence forthwith. Everything
now causes it to be hoped that the peace of Barcelona
will not be again disturbed. The Minister of Public
Works has settled the questions raised by the workmen
by deciding that there shall be liberty of capital, liberty
of labour, that coalitions shall be prohibited, and that
workmen's associations, except for charitable purposes,
shall not exist. It has been further decided that stran-
gers arriving in Barcelona shall obtain a permission to
remain from the authorities, or shall be liable to expul-
sion. In Barcelona the manufacture and sale of arms of
all descriptions has been prohibited."i
