SPAIN.

Madrid journals to the 31st ult. have been received.
Senor OLOZAGA had been sent in custody to
Cadiz, in order to be transported to the Philippine
Islands.
A renewal of the disturbances in Madrid was hourly
expected.
Senor OLoZAGA has addressed the following letter
to NAKVAEZ :

" TO HIS EXCELLENCY TIIE DOLE OF VALENCIA.
" On leaving my house, about eleven this morning, .it
was intimated to me that I was under arrest by your
order, I was unwilling to believe it. I asked for the
written order, and was told that they had none. I replied
that until I beard it myself from your own mouth I
would not believe it. On this a person, who said that
he was the successor of Redonda, and to whom I sin-
cerely wish a better fate than his predecessor, offered to
conduct me to your house, which was all that I could de-
sire under the circumstances. He did more—he sent
notice of it to my family by one of his dependents.
But on the road, without anything new having occurred,
he altered his determina.ion, and being wanting to his
spontaneous offer, he took me to the office of the poli-
tical chief, where there is at this moment neither chief
nor secretary, nor any one whatever to hear or attend
to me.
" That you who demanded the suspension of the con-
stitutional guarantees may order to bo arrested the
person who did all that he legally could to prevent the
suspension being conceded, is to be comprehended; but
that an honourable citizen (not to speak of other titles
that might be alleged by one who has served his country
as I have done) is to be the sport of the caprices of a
policeman, is a thing that I imagine you cannot approve.
" If I am not wrong in rendering you this justice,
consider the way in which I shall be able best and soonest
to know what it is sought to do with me.
" That it may not be interpreted ill, I don't explain
to you the family reasons which make me desire the
greatest possible dispatch in this business, nor shall I
say a single word as to the surprise which my arrest,
even under present circumstances, could not but cause
me.
" If I should have the pleasure to see you I shall per-
haps be more explicit. ,

" I remain, &c.,
(Signed) "S. DE OLOZAGA.
" Madrid, March 30, 1848, at noon,
General Post-office."
The only answer vouchsafed by NARVAEZ was an
order for the transportation of OLOZAGA to the
Philippine Islands.

GERMANY

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES,

PRUSSIA.

The following is the Address toted by the Diet to
the King of Paussu :
" Your Majesty has called-us together at a moment
when the German people, long repressed by divisions
and want of free institutions, is raising itself in all its
ancient strength to unity and freedom. The Germans
of every race extend the hand of brotherhood to each
other, and Prussia demands no more than to become an
active member of the entire body. Freedom alone gives
life and activity, and free6rn is guaranteed to the whole
of Germany by the Assembly of the people, which is
now being developed; to Prussia it is guaranteed by the
institutions your Majesty has secured it, in the bases of
the new constitution; and in this, our last meeting, we
are penetrated with the cheering conviction that for the
future a real representation of the people will watbh
over the destinies of the nation.
" We are still, however, the legal organ of the coun-
try, and in this capacity have certain duties to discharge.
Your Majesty, in the decree of the 18th of March last,
in the_ appeal of the 21st, and the declarations of the
22d and 28th of the same month, assured us that pro-
jects of law will be laid before the representatives of the
people, relating to—
" Freedom of the press;
" Security of personal liberty;
"Full right of meeting. and association;
"Independence of the judges;
" Abolition of hereditary jurizdictions and domaia-
police;
" Publicity of judicial proceedings, and viva voce ex-
amination of witnesses, with trial by jury in penal cases,
and especially for political offences;
" Equality of civil and political rights to all religious
persuasions;
" A general arming of the citizens, with free election
of their officers;
" A thorough and popular law of election, representing
all interests;
" A decisive operation by a simple majority of the
popular assembly in the legislation and administration
of the State;
" Responsibility of the Ministers;
" The army to be sworn to the constitution.
"Your Majesty has also guaranteed the active ope-
ration of Prussia in a change of the German Confede-
ration into a German Union, with a real national
assembly.
"In thankfully receiving these assurances and recog•
nizing the fact, that from the present time a constitu-
tional monarchy, on the broadest basis, is to be the form
of government in Prussia, we are convinced that we are
warranted in so doing, not only by our own constitu-
tional functions, but by the will of the people.
" The nation will not, because it has raised itself to
freedom, abruptly sever its present history from its
past; it honours the monarchy under which Prussia has
become great, and sees in the constitutional form of that
system the surest protection of liberty, of public welfare,
and the unity of the kingdom. It considers it necesary
for its relations with other German states; it recognises
that under this banner alone Germany can become
united, and defend itself victoriously against dangers
threatening its national existence aud the noble acquisi-

tions of society.
" Germany, firmly resolved to defend its nationality
from all attacks from without, wishes to do justice to
all. We, therefore, gladly approve the decree of your
Majesty, recognizing the constitution of the Duchy of
Posen.
" Your Majesty, in a moment pregnant with danger,
has come to a fortunate decision; men have been sum-
moned to the councils of the Crown who possess the con-
fidence of the country. The general operation of the
power of the State, thus strengthened, will increase the
feeling of union between the nation and its princes, in-
spire trade and commerce with confidence; the Govern-
ment will pay increased attention to the condition of
the working classes in town and country, and at the
same time, in a legal manner, put an end to many prac-
tices
parts of the country.
"Everyceforth vanishes; the people and

" Your Dilajesey's Government in its efforts to restore
law and order in the administration of our public affairs
can reckon on the zealous assistance of all good citizens,
for all acknowledge that respect for the laws of the
country can alone guard us from destruction, and deve•
lope the opening blossom of freedom in its fairest fruit.
Reserving for the present any declaration of opinion
upon the projects of law which regard a portion of your
Majesty's prumises above alluded to, we remain, with
the greatest respect,
" Your Majesty's true and faithful States,
for the second time assembled in United Diet.

" Berlin, April 2."
There is evidently a financial crisis approaching in
Berlin. Several failures. (among others that of a
large banker) have been announced, and money is
very scarce.
A letter from Berlin in the Cologne Gazette men-
tions the arrival of a eourier from St. Petersburgh,
who was the bearer of a memorial from the St.
Petersburgh
which the EmpEaou expresses his determination to
Cabinet, datcd the 26th of March, in
observe a neutral position amidst the dissensions in
Western Europe, and to use all his endeavours to
maintain peace,
violation of the Russian territory should be punished.
adding, at the same time, that any
The dispatch concludes with a special threat against
the Poles, to whom, it sam-no mercy whatever shall
be shown if they dare to cross the Russian frontier.

dore of ,
Poland, hare begun by calling the people to
arms, and the whole of the Grand Duchy is at the
present moment a military camp. About 20,000
scythemen alone are prepared to use their formidable
weapons. An expedition into the Russian kingdom
of Poland is thought of. These and similar proceed-
ings lire unexpectedly opposed by the Polish peasant
population of the Grand Duchy. The peasants will
not submit to be governed by the Poles; they insist
on remaining under the Prussian Government. They
have plainly threatened to kill their Landlords if the
latter should dare to promote the reconstruction of a
Polish kingdom.

AUSTRIA.
Accounts from Vienna of the 30th March state
that a meeting of journeymen tailors, which was to
have been held on that day, in the Juden Platz, ha l
been dispersed without trouble by the National Guards.
The demands of the journeymen tailors were—l.
That their wages should be raised to a florin a day.
2. That the titne for woelk should be abridged. 3.
That the masters should molt employ "rumen, who un-

dertake the work at a lower price, and that they
should reduce the number of their apprentices. They
also require that the income arising from the house
belonging to the guild, situated in the Juden Platz,
should be duly accounted for.
