SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 26th ult., contains the fol-
lowing new report from the Captain-General of Aragon
to the Minister of War—the date is not given :
"Public tranquillity continues perfect at Saragossa
and in all the district. With respect to the insurgemts
I have nothing else to say to your Excellency than -that
from Luna, where they passed the night of the 21st,
they proceeded to Biel and Lueeia, and it is believed
that the day after they were at Maules;—this at leasit is
what has been stated by a corporal and a soldier iffho
have presented themselves, and who abandoned the
main body of the insurgents at Erla ; and they add
that the insurgents are endeavouring to reach the
frontier of France. The Alcade of Tauste writes to as
from Egea that the insurgents had according to com-
munications from Biei (where three soldiers had pre-
sented themselves) separated, and were searching iet dis-
order. It was known besides that eight of the civilians
who accompanied the insurgents had taken to flight at
Luna, and had gone to Tauste ; also that four of them
had been arrested on entering that town in the evening.
From the measures I have taken, I can almost aar3ure
your Excellency that in a very short time the insurglente
will have been destroyed, or will have passed into
France."

The Heraldo says that another detachment had ;been
sent from Lerida towards Biel to endeavour to cap ture
the insurgents.
According to the Espana only 20 persons were k filled
or wounded in the affair at Saragossa. Amongst the
killed were five civilians, the colonel, and two or three
soldiers. This journal adds that the body of insur gents
who went towards Huesca was commanded by ieut.-
Colonel Latorre.

The Clamor Publico says that Brigadier Horv, who
was killed at Saragossa, was only 36 years of aces. A
commission of sub-lieutenant was, it states, conferrs d on
him by Ferdinand VII., in consideration of the ser vices
of his father as civil and military governor of a prov! ince ;
and he distinguished himself at the siege of Bilboa.
The Espana announces the arrest of Brigadier Q arloe
de Vargas, and that he had been placed in the most
rigorous secret confinement. It adds that the core aniss
sary of police of the central district of Madrid, MI, Fa.
bregas, had been suspended from his office. The 26th
being Sunday the Stock Exchange was not open.

FAILURE IN GLASGOR.—The house of Dickson and
Co., largely engaged in the Australian trade in Glace gow,
suspended payment yesterday. The liabilities aro said
to be from 300,0001. to 400,000/.
VESSEL ABANDONED AT SEA.—The Bremen ship
Ernestine, Captain Fredericks, from New Orleans t© Bre-
men, arrived off Falmouth on Wednesday, and IN ided
the captain and crew of the barque Wave, of ant 1 for
Dublin, from Savannah, which was abandoned at se a on
the 13th of February, in lat. 38 N., long. 46 W., w ater-
logged and with loss of rudder.

OONTINENTAL EXCHANGES.—The accounts from the
continental stock markets are still unfavourable. I From
the Paris Bourse yesterday the closing quotations shi mod
a further slight decline. At Vienna, where the 'malt con-
tinues to an extent such as is rarely witnessed wid thout
some reaction, the exchange on London has advs awed
to 13, and the premium on gold to 37i ; white the
funds have declined another one per cent. At A.," aster-
dam Dutch stocks remain weak, although withon t any
material aggravation of the recent fall. The tes of
exchange on the continent have an unsatisfact oz y ap-
pearance, and, in the absence of any arrivals of gold
from Australia and America, it is apprehended to consi-
derable sum must shortly be taken from the Dank of
England, whence several parcels within the last fey .' days
have already been transmitted. The Russian and other
stocks sent from Amsterdam, Hamburg, &c., for a ale in
London, have increased the tendency to this st 4 it° of
affairs.

THE INDIA AND CAPE OF GOOD HOPE MAILS.- It has
transpired that the General Screw Steam-shippii of ; Com-
ppiny have this week resigned their contract Vi th the
Post-office authorities for the conveyance of ale India,
Cape, and Mauritius mails, on account of the stub Oaf
granted being deemed insufficient. It appears that the
company can, by carrying letters in their priv ate ear ps-
city, realise more by the conveyance of let+ ters, 3 to-,
than the amount they received from the Go- rernm, ,nt.
Arrangements are being made for a new contr act. One
of the principal causes of the late Post-offices contr acts
having been taken on low terms arises from the p ;rest
and increasing competition between rival stes.na eo; elpv
vies for the conveyance of the Government mail v.
GOLD FROM ST. PETERSBURG. It is thOill rht that
the amount of gold now on its way from St. Pe ten aburg
to London may be about 50,0001. or 80,0001. 1 WI2 ether
any further quantity will be received must del 'en d en-
tirely upon the absence of interference on the pa rt a f the
Russian Government. In the improbable case of a con-
tinued exportation being allowed, the transmission
.1 if as
much as half a million would most likely be iequis to to
uphold the rate of exchange for any time.
