SPAIN.

The Fomento of Barcelona of the 6th publishes a
proclamation addressed by Cabrera to the insurgents
of Catalonia, in which he announces his resumption of
the command, thanks them for their efforts, states
that Navarre, the Basque provinces, Galicia, and
Asturia second them, and that Aragon and Valentia
will imitate them. He adds that the King (Count
de Montemolin) promises institutions in harmony
with the spirit of the times, and will support his pro-
mises by the sword.

ness, and the rates obtained are equal to those of this
day week; the demand is likewise better. The rates
paid for ord and good common sound Congou are 8d to
9d per lb. Green met with little attention, still full
rates are asked, and the supply does not extend.

and home-trade deliveries were upon a large scale during
thaCtime. The stock is yet smaller than in the former
year; prices are also rather under that time for all sorts,
and dealers are moderately supplied in town and country.
