SPANISH PAPERS.
MAD RID, DEc. 12.
Don Jose Maria P undo, the Charge d'Affaires of
our Court ut Lisbon, has at length succeeded in
getting Don Jose M aria Rodriguez, chief of the staff
of Gen. Cannata, delivered up to Spain, under a
good. escort. Rodriguez, who bad taken refuge in
Portugal, is said to be deeply implicated in the alfair
Cadiz, and his arrival alone was waited fur to
bring it to a conclusion.
MAHON (Mixon.), Nov. 29.
The English and Dutch squadrons Ore here;
but the Spanish, which we expected, have not
arrived. We have in our port a vast number of
vessels, belonging to our merchants, loaded with
corn from the Black Saa, which, as well as the
cargoes of many others that are expected, they hope
they shall obtain permission to import into the
Peninsula, as they have petitioned. This appears to
be very reasonable, because all these enterprises were
made bona fide, and long before it MI known that.
the Cortes intended to prohibit the importation of
Ibreign grain. If the request is not granted, many
of our merchants will he ruined.

BARCELONA, Dec. 5.
Don Jose de Castelar has kit this city to-day for
Valencia, being appointed political chief of that city,
after having filled that office here from the time of
our restoration to freedom. The Catalonians cannot
behold without regret the departure of this magis-
trate, who front the beginning united in his favour
the nishes of all the citizens, and who has since
justified the hopes that good patribts have conceived
of him.

It appears that a house ut Perpignan has offered
un asylum to the ex-patriotic Archbishop of Va-
19neia.

ORENSE. DEc. 7.
The robbers continue to molest the inhabitants of
this district, and within a short time we have heard
of some great excesses. In general such is the state
of the greater part of Galicia, that not a step can
be taken out of the towns without risk ; and within
these few days we have heard of em:siclerable depre.
ilations having been committed on merchants, The
banditti are always extremely well tamed.
OVIEDO, . _

Three of our ciiizeUSWh;Werit in pursuit of the
`tantlitti who lately showed themselves at thsibridge
of Santalltuto, collected some brave olsliers, who
were near Pula, and sacceeeled in titling five of
these malefactors, two of whom were of the number
of the leaders. One escaped soon after be was taken,
bat the others were placed utaler a good escort.
Important discoveries are expected front their via-
mioutions, It is said that priests, magistrates,
alcadcs, and capitalists, are implicated in this affair.
AtAnitip, tux. 13.
Spoitsit Titatvr.-11•e have received important
observations on various articles of the new tariff uf
customs, and our atteutton has been called, among
others, to those relative to iron heaps, ieltielt we
receive from England and Ho' :md. These hoops
are not mule in Spain , and what is more, the att
of leaking theist is unknown ; wh,liee it results, that
it will cost thrice as much to hoop a cask with lamps
of the Peninsula as with furcigu onea. The expett,cs
of carriage will be a little more, or at least us touch
us front Englund, because., wo have not internal
malls of commutticatioa, they .nitist be embarked
from our northern 'ports for Catalonia, where theft:
is the grcntcst consumption of them, Kid the freight
