SPAIN.

MADRID, APRIL 15.—A1l the reports which
were abroad upon the new proofs of discontent which the King
had given to Don Victor Saez, on his arrival at Toledo are
contradicted. On the 10th the King and the royal family
visited the celebrated manufactory of arms. The King was
accompanied by the Duke de I'lnfantado and the Count
Botermont.

A Liberal Journal of Paris has announced that some discon-
tent has taken place at Toledo; that four Constitutionalists
have been hung, and their bodies dragged along the street:=.—
These facts are entirely false, and have greatly astonished the
inhabitants of Toledo, who have never reckoned a single Con-
stitutionalist in that city.
Of all the Members of the Diplomatic Corps, the Ambassa-
dor of England alone remains at Madrid, his Excellency beitg
much indisposed.
Extraordinary couriers leave the capital every day for Toledo,
and all our Secretaries of State are much occupied.
People entertain themselves very much with the levy o;
pintas; this military conscription is the surest method to fill
up the skeletons of our regiments, and to have, in a short time,
a respectable army, which is so necessary to us, not only in this
kingdom, but in order to recover our trans-marine possessions.
For some days the departure of the French garrison from
Badajoz to return to Madrid have been spoken ot. Spanish
troops will fill its place. We are occupied also in the Organize.
tion of the Body Guard of his Majesty. It is remarked that a
very great number of French officers have obtained admission
there. It is the same with the Royal Guard, the third battalion
of which is almost complete.

Private Correspond-
BARCELONA A r. 7.—(
ence.)—A division of three hundred prisoners of war, corning
from France arrived in this city yesterday. They were sent to
Gracia, alittle village about a league from hence; other divisions
are expected to arrive here successively. About the 20th inst.
it is expected that the police will be completely equipped and
in active service. Robberies have become very frequent in
this city. The police, which continues to pursue them with
great ardour, has already succeeded in apprehending a great
number. Yesterday evening they seized about nine of these
malefactors, on one of whom was found a large red cap which
served him as a purse, containing a considerable sum in gold,
with a great number of jewels. The Intendant of Police has
sent to Madrid to know if he was to deliver up the prisoner Ap-
prehended this day to the military commission. With the excep-
tion oftheserobberies, nothing occurs to disturb the perfect tran-
quility of the city. Numbers are constantly coming to this city to
take refuge on account of the disturbances which take place in
the provinces of Arragon and Valencia ; amongst these strangers
are some members of the former Cortes. The religious ceremo-
nies of Holy-week were conducted with the greatest piety and
in the best order, although many persons saw with dislike
that the gens d'armes of Catalonia were stationed in several
churches. The measure, it must be confessed, was quite use-
less in a city so refined as this is, and especially so ddvoutly
attached to the august ceremonies of Holy-week. The Baron
d'Eroles has been received with the greatest enthusiasm at
Lerida. If we can give credit to a private letter, it appears
that his Excellency has met with a nocturnal adventure in
that city, which is not calculated to impress him with a very
good opinion of the inhabitants. The Italian troop which is
to perform here this year has just arrived ; amongst the per-
sonages who compose it there are 31adaine Cortese, ard Mr:.
Majocci and Lenoir. The Governor has given orders that
neither the boxes nor the places of the orchestra should be let
to any person whatever, except by his permission ; a regulation
that has caused a great deal of mortification to persons who
held these places for many years, and who will now he obliged
to petition for leave to lay out their money, and after all may
have perhaps the dissatisfaction of finding themselves put into
some corner of the Theatre.
