SPAIN.

We have received the MaCl;id journals of the 13th.
The Gazette publishes a Royal decree appointing
M. VENTURA DIAZ Governor of Madrid, and also a
decree placing vessels of the Republic of the Equator
in Spanish ports on the same footing as to navigation
dues as those of Spain.

At Barcelona, a few days ago, one of the assistant
executioners was placed in gaol for some offence, to
undergo three months' imprisonment. When he ap-
peared in the yard amongst the other prisoners, the
greater part of them raised a loud cry of indignation,
and proceeded to expel him. A few took his defence,
and a regular battle ensued. After it had raged for
some time, the Alcade presented himself with some
soldiers, but the men treated his remonstrances with
contempt. The officer of the guard arrived with 32
men, and made them load their muskets. The pri-
soners responded by a volley of stones; thereupon the
soldiers fired, and several of the prisoners were
killed, and more wounded; the others fled in terror to
the arcades which surround the yard. At length the
General commanding the garrison, and some other
high dignitaries arrived, and by their orders the re-
volters retired to their respective cells. Thirty of the
ringleaders in the riot were subsequently lodged in
dungeons. The executioner's assistant was 80

GERMANY.
The Plenipotentiaries of the States of the Coalition
of Darmstadt broke up their conferences at Stutt-
gart, on the 14th, after agreeing upon a note in reply
to Prussia, which is couched in the most conciliatory
terms.

A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin of the 16th
announces that the re-opening of the Customs' Con-
gresP, which was to have taken place on that day,
had been postponed for a few days.
A letter from Presburg, of the 13th, in the Presse
of Vienna, says—" The reception given to the BM..
PEROR at his return here was exceedingly brilliant.
His MAJESTY proceeded, in the midst of an immense
crowd, to the palace of the Primate. To-morrow
there will be a grand review, and, at three in the
afternoon, his MAJESTY will leave for Vienna."
The Cologne Gazette contains a letter from Trieste
of the loth, which says—" The Norara frigate and
the Curie steamer left this port last night, so that
there is not a single vessel here now. The order to
depart arrived from Vienna the day before yesterday
by telegraph. The most contradictory rumours are
in circulation concerning this departure ; the Com-
modore, it is certain, has departed on sealed orders,
which he is to open when out at sea. It is believed
that the vessels are to proceed to the Bay of Cattars,
and a conflict with the Turks is apprehended. Aus-
trian Dalmatia is cut on two points by the Turkish
territory, which goes down to the coast. According
to a dispatch from the Austrian Governor of Zara, a
Turkish battalion wants to erect batteries on the coast.
The works have been even commenced, and the Aus-
trian Government maintains that it has a right to pro-
test against that act. This is the cause of the vessels
taking their departure ; it is intended to call for the
suspension of the works."
