By the following telegraphic dispatch from Madrid
of the sth, it will be seen that the long-persecuted
liberty of the press in that enlightened land has re-
ceived its coup de grace
" A decree has been published by the Government,
regulating in a sweeping manner the press. The fun-
damental bases are—a guarantee of 2,000 reels of con-
tribution
de imposed
ogof n
religion,thejournals;largestforeign tax-payers, for trial of
the principal press offences; supreme court of justice
for offences against the
Queen;
and the ordinary tribu-
nals for other offences; The Government
; can suspend
journals."
From suppress ournals.
From the ordinary express, dated the 33, we learn
that there is no truth in the report that the QUEEN
was in an interesting condition.

A letter from Vienna seems to attribute the death
of Prince SCHWARZENDERG to excitement occasioned
by certain political contrarietes ;
and the coup de sang
under which he suffered fourteen or fifteen days be-
fore the last fatal stroke is explained to similar
causes. It was in vain
that his nearest surviving
relative, to whom he was tenderly attached,
endeavoured to calm him, and to dwell on
the weakness of yielding to such violent
irritation every time that he
considered himself
slighted by his Imperial master, or that he sus-
pected his influence was undermined by an older and
more powerful statesman. The impatient and haughty
temper of Prince SCHWARZENDERG could not brook such
slights, and, whether real or fancied, they at all events
deeply preyed on his mind. On Saturday last he is
said to have been in an alarming condition, but yet
his death was not so soon expected. Few doubt that
the Policy of Prince METTERNICH, now that no fur-
ther resistance is apprehended from any rival, will be
completely adopted by the young EMPEROR, whose
leaning to the counsels of the aged statesman was
known to have deeply affected the deceased Prince.
It is believed that the projected visit of the Emperor
NICHOLAS to Berlin will not now take place, but
that the two EMPERORS will have an interview before
long.
The Jesuits are establishing themselves in great
force in Austria, and their so-called " Missions" are
very actively
high and low.
The desire to emigrate
employed in making proselytes, both
is becoming more pro-
nounced from day to day, and the true reason of ,this
unusual phenomenon in Austria is the substitution of
the arbitrary
will of the employes and police for law
and equity.
In a leader dedicated to the probable consequences
of Louis NAPOLEON'S elevation to the Imperial
throne, the Wanderer advises Prussia to yield to
Austria in the matter of the Customs Union, as she
may soon require her aid.
According to a telegraphic dispatch, the sunken
wreck of the Marianna has been discovered twelve
miles out at sea, between Porto Levante and Porto
Maestra. She went down -in about six fathoms and
a half of water (17i passi); her mast is upwards.
The concluding passage of the dispatch will perhaps
enable English naval men to give a shrewd guess
whether the steamer was blown up or not :—" To
judge from the position of the wreck, the Marianna
must, after her upper deck was carried away, have
sunk at once. It is also probable that the engines,
uns, &c., will be found in the wreck."
