SPAIN,

We have received the Madrid 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 be 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. T
ringleaders in the riot were subsequentlyhi Thirty of the
dged in
dungeons. The executioner's assistant w
ill-
treated at the beginning of the fray that his
life is in
danger.

The Three per Cents. were done at 45i ; the
New Three per Cents. at 22;1 ; the Debt of the first
class at and that of the second at si.

GERMAN Y.

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-
gres. 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 EM-
PEROR at his return here was exceedingly brilliant.

of the 10th, which says--" The Norara frigaterieasntde
the Cerie 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."

BELGIUM.
A letter from Brussels states that the ultra-Liberal
party are using great efforts to get up an excitement
in the Chamber of Representative!, which will render
it difficult if not absolutely impossible for the Belgian
Government to carry the proposed measure against
literary piracy, which has been stipulated for by the
French Government as one of the conditions of the
new international treaty. Large bills have been
posted up in Brussels and all the principal towns of
Belgium, in the form of an address from the Typo-
graphic Committee to all persons interested in the
printing trade, and indeed to the public generally,
calling upon them to protest loudly against a measure,
which, if adopted, would destroy an important branch
of industry in Belgium, and expressing a hope that
the example of the representatives of Holland on the
same subject will be followed by the Belgian Chamber
of Representatives.
