The Madrid journals of the 30th have arrived,
but their contents are not of political importance.
The Ileraldo remarks that of late an extraordinary
increase has taken place in all lands of crimes in
every part of the kingdom. , The Espana states
that the French Government has demanded autho-
risation from the Spanish" Government to establish
a telegraphic station at Iran, so as to unite its line
from Bayonne to Paris with that from Madrid to
Irun—such station to be given up to the Spaniards,
when their projected lines of telegraph to the French
frontier shall be completed.' A" letter says :—" The"`'
higher circles of Madrid have learned with regret
the indisposition of the Empress of the French, and
yesterday they waited on the Countess de Montijo
to express it. M. Eusebio Donoso Cortes, brother
of Marquii de Valdegamas, Spanish Ambassador at
Paris, has left in all haste for that city, in consequence
of his brother's illness. The Queen yesterday presided
at a Council of Ministers at Aranjuez. On the nomi-
nation of M. Bermudez de Castro, M. Moreno Lo-
pez was named Director of General Accounts, and
M. Bazzanella, Director of Estancadas (stock sold
on account of the State) in the Ministry of Finance.
Some nominations of governors of provinces were
also made. All the rumours of a Ministerial crisis
had ceased—so that the statement received the day
before yesterday, that M. Bermudez de Castro had
resigned, would appear to have been unfounded. It
was added that all the Ministers were perfectly in
accord, and that they possessed the fullest confi-
dence of her Majesty."
M. Donoso Cortes, Marquis of Valdegamas, Spa-
nish Ambassador in Paris, died the day before yes-
terday at his residence in the Rue do Courcelles.
He had been for more than a month labouring
under an acute disease of the heart, for which
he was attended by the first physicians of the
capital. His state had several times improved, and
on the night preceding his death, there was nothing
to indicate such a speedy decease. At about half-
past four the next day, his breathing became so
difficult that the patient requested a priest to be
sent for. The Austrian and Prussian Ambassadors
soon afterwards arrived at the Spanish Embassy to
inquire after the health of the Marquis, and they
were present' at the religious ceremony of extreme
unction, Sand- received the Mast ,liah -of their illus-
trious colleague. M. DonosoVortds died apparently
without pain ; a slight sigh was all that announced
his decease. He had scarcely attained his 44th
yea- f... 41 Grand Cross of the Spanish Orders
of Cha . and -I,Zaltella, the Catholic, and
p Grand of the Legion'of Honour. Iris ami-
able qualities and his affability attached to him all
who had the pleasure of his acquaintance.

ITALY..
The Milan Gazette of the 30th ult. contains the
following notification from the military command-
ant of Lombardy

" His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of th
Army, Governor-General, Field-Marshal Count Ra-
detzky has, authorised me.- gradually to mitigate the
rigorous state of siege imposed upon this city after th
6th of February last. Besides the alleviations recently
conceded, I find it expedient to order from the Ist of
May :—Article 1. All the societies legally existing-pre-
viously, may resume their meetings on observing the
proper prescriptions ; all the theatres may also be re-
opened with the permission of the competent local au-
thorities. Art. 2. All the gates of the city, except the
Porta Vigentina and Porta Ludovica, shall henceforth be
opened at 4 a.m. and closed at 10 p.m. The passage of
horses and carriages on the bastions is entirely free ; fo
foot-passengers the time is restricted to the hours during
which the gates remain open. The existing regula-
tions, with respect to passports at the gates of the city,
still remain in vigour. Art. 3. To those who lodge
either strangers or subjects of Lombardy, I grant hence-
forward 24 hours' time to notify their arrival to the
police as prescribed, on pain of incurring a fine of 10
Austrian livres (100 fr:) and a fortnight's imprisonment
for every omission. Keepers of lodging-houses may
also be deprived of their licences in case of a relapse.
Art. 4. At night the sentinels shall only challenge such
persons as shall appear to approach them in a suspicious
manner, and in case they shall not immediately obey
the challenge, the sentinels shall use their arms. Art. 5.
In the interest of public tranquillity I find it expedient to
remind the public that it is forbidden to make a
noise, cry aloud, or whistle ; whoever does not de-
sist on the first summons shall be arrested. Art.
6. In case of any disturbance of public tran-
quillity, it is prescribed that all persons not belong-
ing to the army, or not obliged by.their office to aid in
restoring order, shall immediately retire into their
dwellings, in order to avoid being arrested as accom-
plices. At night all the windows of the first storey in
the houses of those streets or squares where the Ills:

turbance occurs, must be illuminated. Art 7. But
should the report of cannon be heard from the Castle, or
from the fort outside the Toss gate, every proprietor of
a house shall close his doors, and illuminate his first
storey at night.

GYULA.I."

A telegraphic dispatch from Berne, of the 3d,
says :—" The Federal Council yesterday signified
its disapprobation of the reply made to Austria,
relative to the religious seminaries, by which the
rights of Ticino are reserved."

THE NEW SAXON INVASION OV IRELAND. —The Galway
Packet contains a remarkable article in reference to what. •
it calls "the conquest complete" of Ireland .by the*
Saxon :—"The Saxon in Ireland may no longer be
