SPAIN.

We have received dispatches from Madrid, dated
the 28th ult.

They state that it was thought by the President
of the Council, Senor BRAVO Aluarm,o, that the sup-
presion of the administrations for the management of

mission bad been appointed to take into consideration
—would increase the popularity of his Cabinet. It
appears that the tax on tobacco produced in 1851,
187,545,313 reels ; but the cost of collection was not
less than 75;314,616 reals, so that the net returns to
more than 112,000,000 reels.

end. A Zollverein of no less a term than 12 years
will be admitted. The Customs Congress is adjourned
to the 15th September, by which time the categorical
answer of the coalition is expected to be given.
At the end of this month the state of siege which
