SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette, of the 25th, contains a
royal decree, enacting that, in addition to the
articles, already exempted, tools, machines, car-
riages, and materiel of all kinds, which may be
destined exclusively to the making and working of
railways, shall be imported free of duty. Some of
the journals say that some of the generals nominated
to different posts by the new ministry will not accept
*em. The Espana mentions General Lersundi as
one of these, and the Glamor Public° says that Ge-
ral Jog) de la Concha has already resigned the post
of director of cavalry, but the resignation is not yet
official. The Heraldo states that Queen Chris-
tina and her family are to return to Madrid at
the beginning of October. Several arrests had been
made in connection with the recent clandestine
publication of seditious pamphlets. The Minister
of the Interior had stopped a prosecution against
the Diario Espanol, for publications connected
with the coal affair of the ex-Minister of Marine.
The works of the different railways are being pushed
on vigorously. Those of the Northern line, in the
province of Barcelona, are far advanced, and the
section to Moncada will, it is said, be soon opened
for traffic. Accounts had been received from Cuba
and Porto Rico to the 29th and 30th ult. Tran-
quillity prevailed in both islands. The 25th being
Sunday, the Stock Exchange was not open. •

The Parma Gazette publishes a decree of the
Duke, conferring on the Minister of State, Baron
Thomas Ward, the Grand Cross, adorned with
diamonds, of the Sacred, Imperial, Angelical, and
Constantinian Order of St. George.
The Parlamento, of Turin, of the 27th ult., quotes
a letter from Modena, announcing that, during the
night of the 17th, the stage coach of the Treasury
of Este, coming from Mantua, had been stopped
by a band of robbers in the high road between
Carpi and Modena. The guard having attempted
to defend himself was wounded and carried off by
the banditti. The postilion, whom they ordered
to drive on; was fired upon by them and dangerously
wounded. His life, however, is not despaired of.
Two travellers, who were in the coach, were not
molested. The robbers confined themselves to
seizing on the money contained in the Government
chest, amounting to 2,929 livres, and various
articles belonging to the passengers and the guard.
Orders were immediately given that in future the
stage coaches of the Treasury should be escorted by
Royal Dragoons.
The Pope has appointed Monsignor Melilla to

'GREECE.
A letter from Athens, of the 17th of September,
states that the. Greek Government has refused to
dismiss the Greek Consul-General in Wallachia
whose exequatur has been withdrawn by the Sub-
lime Porte, without any notice to the Greek Go-
vernment, or any reason assigned. It appears
that the Greek Consul, on the arrival of the Rus-
sian troops at Bucharest, had gone outside the
town to meet them, dressed in his official costume;_,--
and had presented his homage to the Commaride-r-
-in-Chief of the Russian army. This proceeding
had highly incensed the Ottoman Government.
