SPAIN.

We have received in due course the Madrid journals
and letters of the 13th, but they do not contain a line of
information which had not previously reached us by ex.
press or by telegraphic dispatch.
The Debats says :—" In the list of the new Spanish
ministry figures the name of M. Ayllon, now Spanish
Ambassador at Vienna. There is reason to believe that
General Lersundi has not consulted him on the subject,
and that he is not certain of his consent. The friends of
M. Ayllon, who is very well known in Paris, where he
was attached to the Spanish embassy, doubt his accept-
ance of the portfolio of Foreign Affairs. We, in fact,
remember that he was some years since named to that
important post, but that he refused it."
We read in the Union :—" Our letters from Madrid
confirm the facts before stated on the subject of the sus-
pension of the Cortes. The following are more complete
details : —The speeches of General Emanuel Concha to
the Senate, and of General Prim to the Congress, in the
sitting of the 6th, excited great alarm and considerable
discontent in the Court, and it is said that they
were sent for to the palace in order to be remon-
strated with. Far from paying any attention
to this, General Concha declared that in the
sitting of the Bth, he would produce written proofs
of the charges which had been made on the malversa-
tions which had taken place not only on the railways
from Madrid to Aranjuez, and from Aranjuez to Al-
manza, but also on other points of the public adminis-
tration. His declarations, he said, would tend to com-
promise some very exalted personages, but nothing should
stop him. In the evening the President of the Senate
was ordered to read at the very opening of
the
the degree of suspension, and requested not

ITALY.
The Ticino Gazette announces that the Council of
State of that canton having asked permission of the
Federal Council to devote the 10,000 f. it has sent for
the relief of the poor Ticinese expelled from Lombardy,
to furnishing those who are willing, with sufficient
money to leave the country in order to seek work in
foreign parts, the Federal Council has acquiesced in that
course.

A. letter from Milan of the 13th, in the Opinion of
Turin, states that the deputation of Milanese gentlemen
who had gone to Vienna with an address suggested to
them by Count Gyulai himself, praying for a mitigation
of the sequestration decree, has met with an extremely
cold reception at Vienna.
The Grand Duke of Tuscany left Florence on the 11th
for Leghorn, in order to visit the preparatory works in
the new port of that city, the execution of which is car-
ried on with great activity.

THE ERICSSON.—This noble ship lies at her dock
in Williamsburg, where improvements are being made in
the machinery. The main difficulty hitherto encountered
has arisen from the want of a perfect connexion of two
sections of an air pipe, near the bottom of one of the cylin-
ders. Though connected by rivets, the working of the
engine prevented such a union of the parts as to allow of
the full use of the power otherwise available. It is said
that it has been determined to substitute a single casting
for the defective parts, and that the difficulty will be ob-
viated at once. This change is now being made. The other
engine has been perfect throughout ; and when. both are
complete, it is believed that the Ericsson will be in, a much
better condition to prove her capabilities.—New Yor
