SPAIN.

The following circular from the Spalish Minister of
Finance has jeAst been issued at Madrid. We see
nothing else that is worth extracting in the Spanish
papers :
CIRCULAR FROM THE MINISTER OF
FINANCE.
The call upon the Treasury and the wants of the army
are not met by the sums which have been paid into the
eJErs of the State. The Regency, acting under the
sacred mission which it has taken upon itself, to rescue
the countrj, must have recourse to the ardent zeal and
heroic efforts of the principal functionaries of the public
treasury, in order to wend against the difficult circum-
stances in which we are placed. With the view of meet-
ing the most indisp(nsable charges of the State, it has
resolved upon making an appeal to the patriotism of tFe
intendants, and to place in their hands the means of
-emedying the great penury in which we find ourselves,
in order to keep up the pay of the army. With that ob-
ject the Regency has ordered a contribution of fifteen
millions of reels to be levied, to be divided between the
most influential provinces of the kingdom, to be distributed
immediately and punctually to the military intendants of
each district of those provinces, on account of the current
consignments, and to meet the loan and pay of the officers.
The province, the administration of which is confided to
you, is comprised in the divisiOn for a sum of Teals
vellon, which must be realised in a week after the present
order. You will use every resource, relations of all kinds,
the most urgent entreaties to patriots, the force of com-
mand, the utmost excitement of constituted bodies, in short
all that your most ardent zeal can suggest to you in order
to collect the said sum, without neglecting the resource of
the loan with interest at six per cent. a year until the
period of reimbursement. You will give a real and
sacred guarantee for two-thirds of the sums which have
been realised for the account of the extraordinary contri-
bution of one hundred and eighty millions, the collection
of which is already commenced, and which you are to hasten
with a very resolute authority. The one-third remaining
will be held at the disposal of the Government in confor-
mity with the decree of the 13th instant. I have sub-
mitted to you the true situation at the present time ; any
elo
'at
other recommendation would be superfluous. The time
has arrived for you to prove that you arc deserving of

The Tories arc everywhere making preparations
for a coming election: even those who are so poor that
they cannot afford any great outlay, arc spending money
for the purpose of snaking their return perfectly secure.
The general impresiion, indeed, is, that the present state
of affa'rs must lead to a dissolution under the existing
registry. This was foreseen by us long ago, and all that
the Reformers have to do is to unite in favour of some
good candidate, lay the foundation now, and at the disco.
