SPAIN.

The Spanish Cortes were opened on the 19th.
In the Senate the Marquis de Viluma presided,
and shortly after he had taken the chair, the Pre-
sident of the Council, and all the Ministers in
grand costume, entered. The President of the
Council read a royal decree authorising the holcl-
ing of the session of 1854, and ho then formally
declared the session opened.
In the Chamber of Deputies the same decree
was also read.

The Chamber afterwards proceeded to elect its
president and vice-presidents, and had not con•
eluded its operations when the post closed.
Intelligence had reached Madrid of the death of
the Queen of Portugal, but it was resolved not to
let the Queen know it at once from the fear that
that it might create an unfavourable impression
on her, and especially not to let her know that her
Majesty had died in childbed. Queen Christina,
on arriving in her palace, found the Queen, the
King, and the Royal family waiting for her.
Passports had been sent to the Duke and Duchess
de Montpensier, in case they should desire to go
to Madrid to attend the confinement of the Queen;
but it was not believed that they would do so on
account of the ex-Queen Marie Amelia of France
being on a visit to them.

The 19th being the fete 'day of the Queen
Isabella, the Stock Exchange was not open.

ITALY.

The Milan Gazette publishes an edict, dated the

vanced upon the said property shall commence
from the above date.
The Giornale di Roma, of the 15th, states that
Pius IX has left the Palace of the Quirinal, and
removed to the Vatican.
The dissolution of the Piedmontese Parliament
was preceded by the following report to the King,
signed by all the members of the Cabinet :
" Sire—Some votes hostile to the measures proposed nf
the Government to the Senate of the kingdom in the
course of the present legislative session, have led to On
belief that the Ministry no longer possesses the con6'
deuce of that body. When it is considered that the
Senate is e=sentially conservative, and composed of men
of prudence, such a fact can only be explained by the Or
position that many of them have conceived the opini°l/
that the Ministry, though supported by a large Inar:
rity in the Elective Chamber, does not in reality eniol
the confidence of the majority of the nation. Under
such circumstances, we think it the strict duty of Min'""
ters attached to constitutional liberties, desirous, in orcief
to preserve them, of perfect harmony among the grew"
powers of the State, and therefore at all times, and WI:
particularly in the present difficult times, feeling the
necessity of being strengthened by the evident syrnPar.„l
of the country and the certain support of both branch
of the legislature, we think it the strict duty of saes
Ministers, we repeat, respectfully to propose to 9911
Majesty to ascertain, by new elections, the free oPin!cb'eo
.
of the country. Should your Majesty concur in
same view, the undersigned have the honour to nub°.
the following decree for the royal signature."
