SPAIN.

Aladrid journals of the 10th have arrived.
The decision which the Government had come to
to dissolve the contract with the Bank of St. Ferdi-
nand has been revoked.

The Ileraldo publishes the following from Ceuta :
" Ceuta, June 3.
" A conspiracy, of vast ramifications, and which had
its roots, without doubt, in a foreign soil, was upon the
point of exploding last night ; but the vigilance and
energy of the military authority have known how to de-
feat the plans of the disturbers of order, and to avoid a
day of mourning and desolation to this city.
"It appears that it was sought to excite an insurrec-
tion of this numerous I'residio, complicated with a mili-
tary sedition of the troops, with the project of an inva-
sion of the coast of Spain, by means of a surprise of the
vessels on this station, in order to light up a civil war
there, after giving up the fortress to the first who should
present himself, whether Moors or Christians.

" General Ros de Olano has fortunately known how to
get hold in time of the threads of this dark plot, and at
this moment eleven prisoners are answering the questions
of a permanent court-martial. The inquiry is going on
with activity, and the guilty parties will very shortly re-
ceive condign chastisement.
" The spirit of the garrison continues in the best sense,
from the time that his Excellency, presenting himself in
front of the battalions, reminded them of their duties in
an energetic address.

"At this moment the worthy inhabitants of the town
Are receiving the arms which they have solicited with
enthusiasm, in order to organize themselves, and to co-
operate towards the maintenance of order and public
tranquillity."
The arrests in Madrid continue undiminished.
Among the last persons arrested are M. LOPES
GRADO, the deputy for Oviedo, and M. MUCIIADO,
the deputy for Cadiz. A body of three hundred
political prisoners left Madrid on the 10th, under a
military escort.

This reign of terror is exciting the disgust of even
the warmest friends and most strenuous supporters of
NARVAEZ, and the Espana, the court paper, while
praising him for his firmness, reminds him of the
saying of ISTURITZ, "fusilar no es gobernar—to
shoot is not to govern."

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
Coutrary to general expectation no explanations on
the part of the Executive took place in the sitting of
the National Assembly on Wednesday, and M. PAS-
CAL DUPRAT postponed the question of which he had
given notice on the subject to the succeeding day.
The Ministers and Executive Committee held another
Cabinet Council yesterday, for the purpose of consi-
dering the line of conduct which, under existing
circumstances, it might be deemed advisable they
should adopt.
It appears that M. DE LAMARTINE was the member
of the Executive who ordered the rappel to be beaten
on Monday. General CLEMENT Inomas yesterday
produced to the Assembly the written order of
M. DE LAMARTINE directing the General of the Na-
tional Guards to order the rappel to be beaten.
M. ARMAND MARRAST will, early in next week,
present the report of the Committee on the Constitu-
tion. The Committee recommend that the ma-
gistracy shall be irremovable, in order to secure the
independence of the judges. The justices of the
peace and the councillors of the courts of cessation
and of accounts are to be elective, the former by uni-
versal suffrage, and the latter by the National As-
sembly. The Constitution is to be revised by a
Special Assembly, elected by universal suffrage
throughout all France every four years. The Mem-
bers of that Assembly shall meet together under the
title of delegates, and shall occupy themselves in
bringing to perfection, if any change be required,
that great work, which may have come out incom-
plete from the hands of its authors.
Several persons supposed to be implicated in a
Bonapartist conspiracy have been arrested, and it is
said that the police are making strict search to dis-
cover Madame GORDON, an Englishwoman who was
implicated in the Strasburg conspiracy of Prince
Lours NAPOLEON.

The Legitimists voted for the admission of Prince
Louts NAPOLEON. Messrs. Thiers, Odillon Barrot,
Duvergier de Ilauranne, Berryer, most of the former
Deputies, and the members of the Montagne, equally
voted in that sense.

The ylkbar, of Algiers, states that a number of
labourers in that town had been engaged to work at
the fortifications of Mahon. It is added that the Go-
vernment of the United States has supplied the funds
for the completion of the extensive works undertaken
in that island.
