SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 21st, the only jour-
nal which appears on the Monday, contains no de-
tails of the death of the Queen of Portugal ; they
have been held back in order to prevent any pain-
ful impression on the mind of Queen Isabella. Her
Majesty was, however, to be informed of the death
in the course of the day by the President of the
Council of Ministers. General Narvaez, who was
at Aranjuez,, was expected at Madrid to pay his
respects to Queen Christina ; and about the 25th,
it was his intention to leave for Loja, his native
place.
The Gazette was to announce, in a day or two,
that the Queen had entered the ninth month of
her pregnancy.

taries, three of whom were returned by the Oppo-
sition. M. Rius de la Vega was elected by '79
votes to 62 ; the Marquis de San Felices, by 76 to
50 ; M. Messina by 79 to 45 ; and M. Cantero by
75 to 45.

The Three per Cents. were done at 41/ ; the

The Washington co/respondent of the New York
Herald, writing on the 15th, says,—
" There has been no regular Cabinet meeting held for
some time, and it is probable the President will take
all the week for the preparation of his message, with
a view of submitting it to the Cabinet this week. It is
known, from the President's declarations, that upon the
subject of our foreign relations the message will fully
emphasise the inaugural. There will be no unnecessary
squeamishness in stating the simple American truth with
regard to the nations of Europe, that while we seek no
quarrel, we entertain neither sympathy nor love for any
of them—not even for England—the country which
always fawns on America when it is her interest to do
so, but never loses an opportunity of injuring orma:
ligning our people when it can be done with impunity.
General Felix La Coste, Consul-General of
France, expired at New York on the 14th inst.

of the island, and hoisted what appeared to be a
a signal of distress, when, simultaneously with the
hoisting of the signal, the fort was attacked by 70
men on horseback, who were repulsed, and about
30 of them made prisoners. Sugar was quiet and
