SPAIN.

The Madril papers of the 6th inst. bring no news,
but a telegraphic dispatch states that a military in-
surrection broke out in that city on the 7th, at four
o'clock in the morning, which was only suppressed
after a sanguinary conflict, in which the Captain-
General of Madrid, General FuLnosto, the brother-
in-law of Queen CHRISTINA was killed.

It appears that 600 men of the infantry regiment
of Espana quitted their barracks under the com-
mand of their sergeants, and, with colours flying
marched to the Plasa-Mayc.r, where they occupied
the line of houses forming the north side of the
square. There they were joined by some civilian,
but not in any considerable numbers. General NAavAEz
accompanied by General FULOOSIO, Captain-Genera,
of Madrid, and by Generals FIGUERAS, CORDOVA, and
CONCHA, proceeded to the scene of the insurrection,
and directed that an overwhelming force of infantry,
and artillery should fire upon the insurgents. After a
sanguinary conflict, the latter, finding that they were
not supported as they expected, surrendered, vs ith the
exception of about one-third of them, who succeeded
in escaping. Amongst the ki,led is General FULGOSIO,
brother-in-law of Queen CHRISTINA, who has been
succeeded in the command of Madrid by General
PEZUELA, and who forthwith assembled a court-
martial, which in the course of the day condemned
seventeen civilians and seventeen solaiers to be shot,
and preparations for their execution were in progrest,
at the departure of the mail.

The ohject of the insurgents is said to have been
solely to effect a change of Ministers. They cheered
" The QUEEN !" and " Liberty !" in the midst of the
fire.

Madrid has been again declared in a state of siege
A Madrid correspondent writes on the 7th—

" The non-commissioned officers of the Regiment of
Espana, with a largo number of their men, turned out at
the first signal of insui rection, but after fighting bravely
for two hours, the soldiers were harangued by their
officers, and expressed their repentance. Skveral of the
non-commissioned officers were arrested, and will be
instantly shot. One of them, to save his life, declared
that he and his comrades had been seduced by French
agents; but the Spanish Ministry have declared that
they were bribed with English gold. It is said that two
French Republicans are among the prisoners, and that
this time the Government will not show clemency,
as they did to the leaders in the last affair. Nar-
vaez boasts that he cares nothing about the French
Government, as the Emperor of Russia will send 100.000
men by sea, if necessary, to support him in his resistance
to reform."

AUSTRIA.

The Vienna journals, of the 7th, state that the
National Guard and the students of Vienna have
united to petition the Ministry to hasten the meeting
of the Chambers, and for that purpose to publish a
provisional law of election. They demand that there
be no census of eligibility, and that three-fourths of
the Upper Chamber be elected, and only one-fourth
named by the Crown.
Of the seven Austrian deputies to the Frankfort
Diet, three are for close union with Germany. Baron
ANDRIAN is the fourth—a most liberal man. The
Frankfort meeting has addressed a brotherly missive
to the inhabitahts of Bohemia, Silesia, and Moravia.

It i 3 said that the Emperor of AUSTRIA has con-
cluded with the CZAR an offensive and defensive
alliance relative to the reciprocal preservation of
their respective territories. The Prussian Cabinet
does not accede provisionally to this alliance, and
makes her definitive determination on the course to
be pursued depend on events in Germany, and on the
conduct of the French people.
It is affirmed positively that in Prague there has
been constituted a secret confederation, which has for
its object an alliance of Bohemians, Gallicians, Hun-
garians, and Croatians, which, under the Crown of
Austria, shall oppose itself to the aggressions of
Russia—and there is little doubt will also array itself
against tha absorption of those nations in the general
empire of Germany.
VIENNA, MAY 7.—(OrriciAL).—" In reply to va-
rious inquiries and expressed doubts, the undersigned
feels himself called upon to declare publicly that he
has not been appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs
and of the Imperial House, but that he has simply
been commissioned, in consequence of the resignation
of Count FIQUELMONT, to take the direction of the
Cabinet until a new Minister of Foreign Affairs and
of the Imperial House shall have been appointed.
" I RANZ Baron VON LEBZELTERN,
Councillor of State."

The Minister of \Var, in consequence of a state•
ment in the Wiener Zeitung of the 4th May, 'that the
whole army in Hungary at the present moment does
not amount to more than 18,000 men, issued an offi-
cial notification, stating, that at the end of March,
the standing contingent in Hungary already amounted
to 24 battalions, 62 squadrons, 19,206 infantry and
10,491 cavalry,
In consequence of the calling in of the Hungarian
and Galician troops on furlough, this contingent will
be increased to 22,255 men infantry, and 10,491
cavalry, making a total of 32,746, not including
2,471 men of the sth artillery regiment.—Wiener
Zeitung, May 7.
VIENNA.—KOPUTH, it is said, is resolved to re-
sign his office as Minister, notwithstanding the
entreaties of his colleagues, who will not be able to
proceed without him. He has, however, suffered
much from a complaint of the lungs for some days,
and looks pale, and doubtless feels his strength in-
adequate to allay, by his persuasive eloquence, the
storm that is gathering over his agitated country.
All the bands of order and obedience are being
loosened in Hungary, and the peasants, who have
become partly excited and rebellious since the con-
cessions which have been accorded to them, had been
j,,ined by the depressed nobles. The resignation of
Z arms', Minister of War, is universally regretted,
and that of Baron Von PILLERSDOttF, Minister of the
Interior, whose advancing years renders him unequal
to the burden of that office, will be severely felt in
many respects. It was expected that Coun
FIQUELNIONT (who is no orator) would be succeeded
by Count FRANZ STADION, whose superior mind
and energy particularly fit him for the helm
of Ministerial affairs.—The visit of Count DIETRICH..
STEIN to Prince METTERNICH has excited quite a
commotion in the public mind. One of the most in-
fluential journals exclaims—" How can an Austrian
Ambassador visit Prince METTERNICH ? He dots
homage to a man who is despised by every man of
integrity, and hated by every patriot, and has fled as
a fugitive in a foreign land—homage which neither
his official situation nor the services of Prince
METTERNICH sanction. As Ambassador of Austria
he must represent the voice of his nation, and he may
not do homage where that nation condemns."
A very general desire is expressed that the Minis-
ter for Foreign Affairs would publish a definite pro-
gramme relative to the foreign policy of Austria.
The fall of Venice is regarded as inevitable and
nigh at hand. The Republic of St. Marco was
still-born, and must soon find its grave.—Allgemeine
Zeitung, May 8.
GAL LICIA.—The Lemberg Zeitung of the 2d states

—" According to advices from the Russian frontiers,
the Russian Government has prohibited the exporta-
tion of corn, horned cattle, and horses to Ga llicia
after the 21st of April, 1848."

The Imperial Provisional Council of Lemberg has
issued a notification that henceforth all judicial pro-
ceedings shall be carried on in the Polish or German
language, according to the nationality of the plaintiff.
The Governor of Gal licia has taken the first step
in the execution of his long-cherished plan, and has
associated with himself men of intelligence and in-
tegrity, who enjoy the public confidence, and has
already entered with them upon the work of pre-
paring various projects of law-1. The regulation of
the state of the community. 2. The establishment of
a First Instance Court of Judicature. 3. Education,
4. Measures for the support of credit.— TT Zeno-
Zeitung, May, 7.
The Polish questicn is exciting the most lively
interest in Berlin. The working people are in favour
of the Poles. The intelligence from Posen presents
a melancholy picture of anarchy and bloodshed.

BRUSSELS, MAY 10 —Yesterday the Chamber con-
inued the discussion of the project of law relative to
:he issue of bank bills of the Societe Generale for
the benefit of trade.

Their Majesties the KING and QUEEN have quitted
the palace of Brussels for Lacken, but the Duke DE
BRABANT, the Count DE FLANDERS, and the young
Princess will remain at Brussels some time longer.
The horse and cattle fair at Ghent was of a very

BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, MAT 10.—Business was
more animated in national funds, but the prices were

not firm.

The foreign funds were much the same, except the
Austrian, which were rather lower.—Journal du

DANISII BLOCKADE.—BERLINe—The intelligence
received from Hamburgh continues to excite much
uneasiness in the minds of those of our merchants who
Are interested in the Baltic trade. The losses which
the British commerce will sustain by this interruption
in the navigation will be very considerable.—German
Papers, May 10.

DENMARK AN D THE DUCHIES.
A private letter from Ilambwrgh of the 9th says,
that there was still uncertainty as to the blockade.
Three ships of war had appeared in the mouth of
the Elbe, but one or more supposed to be Dutch.
German vessels were still stopped. It was reported
that the Swedes had promised to assist the Danes,
and that the Swedish Government had intimated to
that of Prussia, by its Envoy, that the entry of
Prussian troops into the islands of Denmark Proper
would be considered tantamount to a declaration of
war. The Scandinavian spirit was aroused both in
Sweden and Norway.
