The rumour is that the Government, fearing that the
Five per Cents. would fall below 61f. 50c., determined
upon supporting the niarket,'as many of the shareholders
in the Loan would n fuse to pay up, and the Govern-

S PAIN.

Madrid journals of the 2d have arrived.

There are various and contradictory rumours as
to the state of the province of Huesca. While on
the one hand it is confidently rumoured that the
Captain-General NOZZAGARARY has surprised and
taken prisoners the officers and men concerned in the
Progressista outbreak, on the other it is rumoured
that the Progrsssistas have taken possession of the
chief town of the province.

The whole of the Spanish Progressista emigrants
who were assembled on the French frontier have
entered Spain by Navarre and Arragon. General
IRIARTR commands in Navarre, and UQARTE in
Arragon.
