Madrid papers of the 22d have arrived. The Gazette pub-
lishes a decree issued by General. VILLALONCA, Captain-
General of Galicia, dated Corunna. April 15. declaring the
entire coast of that province, from iTie Mouth i:tf" the Meade°
to that of the G,tardia, in a stare of blockade. The blockade
was to be most strictly applied to the port of Vigo, the en-
trance of which was to be rigorously prohibited to vessels of
every description, national se well as fitreLn. English
steamers are otil allowed to touch at the port of Corunna
for the purposes and of determined by their Government.
The Gazette also contaios a dispatch, dated the 14th,
announcing that the insurgent*, who • had attacked
SIGUETRO had been defeat-A by General -PlllO SAMPER. In
a dispatch. dated April 18, General CoNeria states that he
was preparing to march to the relief of Orense, which hal
been attacked by the insurgents. On the morning of the
22d, it was rumoured in Madrid that he had marched to
Orense, and had been defeated and wounded by the insur-
gents. It is evident that the insurrection in Galicia has as-
sumed a very serious character, and that the Government do
not place implicit reliance on the Std,lity of the army ; for
General Piat:st.a, the Captain-General of Galicia, has
thotiat it nece4sary to issue a proclamation to the
garrison of Madrid. urging them in the strongest
terms to continue faithful, and threatening those
who shall suffer themselvas to be seduced from their
allegiance with the severest penalties. The following are
the principal members of Juntas nominated• by the insur-
gents of Galicia :—The President of the Junta of Pontevedra
is Don Jos SANTICS, ex-I/Tuty of the Cortes. At Vigo,
Don 11.amoN Brcit is at the bead of the movement. At
Tay the chief of the Junta is Don ESTEBAN AnsAL,
Deputy.

An extraordinary courier arrived in Madrid from Burgt,s
on the 22d, and it was said that Via Captains-General of
Burgos and Vittoria had bsen °Here] to station troops at
intervals along the road from their respective head-quarters
to the capital. Madrid wa7, perfectly tranquil.
MADRID BensA.—The stocks were not quoted on the Bolsi,

We have received the Paris papers of Tueslay. The
sulject of free trade seems to occupy much of the attenfinif
of French peliticel writers at the present moment. The
Journal des Drats and the Constitution Eel both contain ar-
ticles on this important subject. The Journal des Debuts
seems to approve of the free-trade measures proposed
by Sir RAM:UT PENL, while the Constitutionnel, without
directly avowing monopolist principles, exhibits an evident
tendency towards the_ doctrines of the protectionists, and
attempts to sneer down the Bordeaux League as propound-
ing wild a-4 extravagant schemes of commercial reform.
Six years since similar language was held by the English
protectionists with regard t) the Anti-Corn-lew League, and
if the Bordeaux League fell,. w its excellent examplesix years
n)t elapse before the principles of free trade will b. as
t)opular in France as they are in England As free.triders,
we are rej. iced to see the subject is thus taken up in earnest
iii France, because we feel convinced that the more it is dis•
custed the greater will be the number of converts'to the doc-
trines of free trade.

The Chamber of Deputies adopted on Monday the 53. arti-
cles of the Calder des Charges of the Bordeaux and Cette
Railroad Bill. It text resumed the discussion on the clauses
of the Bill itself, voted a subvention of 15,000,000 f. to the
company which should execute the line, and having sup-
pressed the subvention originally demanded for the branch
to Castree, decid,l, as an inducement to the company to ex-
ecute it, to increase by six years alai a half the duration of
the concesi-ion, which tliu ,to ,d fixed at 66i years.
On Tuesday the Chamber was discussing the We,tern Rail-
w.ity Bill at the hour the post hft. The Committee of the-
Chamher on the reduction of the Five per Cents. had reported
against the measure by a Majority of six to three.
The Maniteul pub i•hes .the account ~f the Q•erations
lie Sinking Fund Admini,tration during the first quarter
sf 1846, from which it appears, that the Three per Cent.
Government Stock redeente:i. in that periA amounted to
.79,811 f., and the capital allocated to that purpo,e to
7.826,731 K

A report from Marsha: BUGZATID, dated Algiers, April 20,
,as been reuived by the Minister of War, who states that
e had heard from several sources, that AnD-Kr.- ICAotta was
•,t Stitten, but that he had reason to third: the in-

flrrmation was erroneous, and that the Emir wns still in the
:.;nth of the country of the Ouled-Nayls. He had been
successively abandoned, says the Marshal, by the trih a of
;lie desert. According to other information, however, which
bad reached the GovermirlGeneral, A nn-41.-KApEn bad not
abandoned the hope of finding a point d'appui in the
Jurjura. The report of a success by Colonel Demox-
vmr,, near Setif, is confirmed by Mar,hal BUGEALTD
The combat was with a host .of Kabyles, under the
Ch6rif, .AOIIAMED BEN ARDALLAII, who is sail to
have made considerable progress in the mountains to the
north of Setif. The enemy, when about to assume the
offensive, was attacked on the night of the I:,:th, and after a
ei.nfliet of three hours, was routed with the loss of the tents,
baggage, and flecks. and 200 killed. The French had five
kil!ed and 64 wounded, amongst whom were six uffi!ers.
N other fact of importance is given in this report. Marshal
BUGZAUD incloses a report from the Duke D'ACMALE, dated
from the bivouac of Ain-el-Hadjer, the 1341. His Royal
Highness gives accounts of several affairs with the hostile
Ar,b4, in all r.f whirr the French were completely successful,
but none of them were of sufficient importance for it to be
ukces,ary to give the details.
According to the Alje.rie Marshal BUGEAUD Will return to
France at the end of Atay. ter the benefit of his health. Co-
loud FCLISSIEIt has been promoted to the rank of Major-
General.

The Jountal des Mats gives a long account of the grand
reception given on Sunday at the Tuileries to innAttpt
Pasha. The f Mowing is the description given of his per-
.,ottal appearance i—lututitat Paella is a little under the or-
dinary stature; his countenance is calm, but very expres-
sive, and his eye animated and penetratihg. His bearrt i,
long and grey his step firm, and his carriage dignified. The
dress of IBRAHIM Was superb. His Highness's costume was
extremely rich and splendid, cowisting of a close-bodied
vestment wrought with gold, on which was a diamond
star. He wore a golden girdle, with blue trousers, and the
red ceeehia tf the Turks. Sotxm A N Pacha, and the rest of
the persons with him, ware attirA neatly i the same style.
It is exoected lie will remain in Paris three weeks. The
Duke Dr. MoxTpwxswa is to give him a grand military fete
at Vinciennes—the Chantilly races are to he honoured with
his presence, and Colonel Tmtcw:v is to attend him on his
visits to all the principal public monuments of Paris.'

It was expected that the Grand Duke CON:4.7ANTINE G:
Russia would leave Algiers on the 22c1, for Lisbon.

The examinations of LaccorrE are continued, but nothing
uew has been elicited.
