SPAIN.

MADRID, APIIII, 6.
It is asserted that Senor Castro intends directing
;he attention of the Senate to the financial condi-

tion of the country, and the deficit of 550 millions
of Reals left by Senor Salaverria.

The Correspo ndencia of Madrid of the 3d says
—" We have received letters from Puerto Rico,
telling how the revolutionary party has attempted
to disturb public order. On the 26th FebruAry,
650 armed men under the command of Lucas de
la Pena presented themselves before Guayabin,
where there was a detachment consisting of 24
men only. This small force was consequently
obliged to capitulate, and withdrew, leaving the
town in the power of the insurgents, who also
took possession of Savaneta, where the Government
had no troops. As soon as the superior authorities
heard of these facts, t.ey collected all the disposable
troops, and sent to Puerto Rico for succour, whence
they soon received a battalion and 100,000 piastres
in money. The timely arrival of this rein-
forcement, and the skilful measures taken, re-
sulted in the defeat of the insurgents at Sa-
vaneta, after which the troops went to Guayabin
and drove the rebels across the Ila,tian frontier."
The same journal says that the men employed in
making cuttings for the railway from Cordova to
Malaga, have recently found, about half a league
from the former place, a great number of columns
and capitals of very superior execution. Antiqua-
rians who visited the spot suppose them to be the
remains of one of the Moorish palaces which for-
merly existed in the neighbourhood of Cordova.
