SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 18th have been received.
The Madrid Gazette of the 18th contains an order
from the Ministry of Finance, that in consequence
of the new organisation of the Bank of San Fernando,
the directing Junta of tke department for the issue,
paying, and cancelling of notes, shall cease its func •
tions. The other journals are destitute of news.
The Foment() of Barcelona, of the 14th, announces
that the Company El Veterano has signed a contract
with Messrs. TALABOT, of Paris, for the construction
of a railway from Barcelona to San Juan de las Aba-
dessas, uniting Barcelona to San Andres, Granollers,
Vich Ripal, and the rich mines at San Juan de las
Abadessas. M. PERERA, acting director of the com-
pany, had left for Madrid, to submit the plans, &c.,
to the Government. _

The works of the Madrid and Aranjuez Railway,
which had been suspended for the last three years,
were resumed on the 17th, and are to be carried on
with the utmost activity. They would, it was hoped,
be terminated on the Ist April next.

AUSTRIA.

The accounts of the insurrection in Servia are fully
confirmed. On the 20-..1a a courier arrived at Vienna
from Semlin, with intelligence that Syrmia, Slavonia,
and the military boundaries, were up in arms against
the Austrian Government. The Slavonian and Servian
boundary regiments have revolted, and have raised
the cordon of the Turkish frontier. The Turkish
Servians will, it is said, render their support to their
brethren.
The military force alone of the rebels is estimated
at 120,000 men, with 110 cannon ; and if they are
joined by the Croats, which appears highly probable,
they will have 200,000 men, with 300 cannon. The
numbers of the insurgents are daily swelled by de-
serters from the Austrian regiments in Peterwardein,
Esseg, &c.
In consequence of the rais'ing of the cordons all
the Pules and Hungarians at present in the Ottoman
territory, who can escape from the surveillance of the
authorities, will have an opportunity of juining the
insurgents. A Vienna journal publishes the follow-
ing letter from Belgrade of the 10:h :
BELGRADE, Disc. 10.—In the military boundaries
of Syrmia and the Banat great excitement prevails
because these are excluded front the Woiwodeschaft.
Excesses are of nearly daily oc;currenoe in the regi-
ment of Peterwardein ("Regiment" here means
"military district"). Pity that the new organization
(of the military boundaries) .could not be published
in the lower countries at the same time with the im-
perial patent of November 15th (for the Woiwode-
schaft) ; all ground for agitation would have been
stopped. The revolution which during the last year
has shaken all, has not been without an important re-
action on the boundaries. Discipline has without
doubt suffered, the cordons are not guarded with the
former strictness, nor are the lively sympathies to be
denied which prevail between the Servians on both
banks of the Save. The desertions from Austria to
Servia are certainly very considerable. Let us hope
that these sympathies will at some future period
extend the greatness and the power of Austria. That
the Serviana are not content with the arrangement of
the Woiwodeschaft is plain. The opponents of this
measure, among whom is to be reckoned the Russian
Consul at Belgrade, Lzwxiu, say that all the Servians
have won upon the map of Austria is the title (of
Woiwodeschaft). That the feeling of nationality
should be vehement and ungrateful, be busied only
about itself, and know no °their respect, has nothing
surprising."
It is said that Russia has been intriguing to get up
this insurrection, in order to have both Austria and
Turkey entirely dependent can her. The Breslau
Gazette says :
" The latest accounts from Servia mention that the
Russian agitation is growing daily nore open and daring,
and that the incredible activity of the agents of that
poser leads to the conclusion thnt sanguinary entangle-
ments will speedily break ou t between Russia and
Turkey. The Prince of Sel:via has already re-
fused to pay the tribute Atte to the Porte of
34,000 ducate, and the arniin g of all male adults
is being carried on with the greatest possible activity,
without any one knowing whem the arms come from.
It is not to be doubted, however, that Russia provides
the arms, for the Serviana receiv A in 1843 several can-
nons and 10,000 muskets from I iussia, wh6n they were
hurrying to the assistance of their brethren in the Banat,
This is a most dangerous weapon for the Russian policy
to employ, for while it is injtjliQl us to the Porte, it is at
