SPAIN.

Papers and letters have arrived from Madrid, dat, d
the 25th and 26th of August.
By the 27th the QUEEN and Court were expected
to arrive at the capital.
It is said that the Cortes are to be called together
on the lath of October, and many suppose that before
that peri..d a further change in the Ministry will
take place.

M. GONZALES BRAVO had left Madrid for France.
The Carlists are becoming formidable in several of
tee provinces, especially in that of Valencia. CA-
BRERA and his Lieutenants, GOMEZ, MARSAL, and
BoN, continue in the province of Vich, collecting
partisans and contributions from all points. Nothing
can exceed the &ring of these leaders, according to
the intelligence just received from Perpignan. Take
the following incident in proof:—On the 20th the
chief, MARSAL, and his band, attended mass at the
hermitage of San Marcos, within half a league or.
Vich. Intelligence of his presence there was itnrme
diately carried to the Comniandant-General of the
province, who hastened against him with a body of
troops, ut, of course, on his arrival at the holy place
he tcund the mass finished and MARSAL gone home to
dinner.

In Valencia and the Maeztrasgo the Carlists are
on the increase. The garrison of the mountain force
of MottELna, consisting of two battalions, is blockaded
by them.
An unfortunate affair for the Carlists, caused by
their want of caution and vigilance, took place in a
wood near Espinabesa, Upper Catalonia, on the 20th
instant, at six o'clock r.si., when GIBERT and his
band, about 150 strong, were surprised and surrounded
by the column of Colonel LAFOY, consisting of 300
infantry and 30 cavalry of the regiment of &gun-
tum, and suffered a loss of sixteen men killed, twenty-
nine wounded, and nine prisoners, besides losing a
number of muskets. It appears that the Government
forces fell upon than whilst they were making a
halt, contrary to orders, and half of them had laid
their arms aside the better to take their ease. Col.
LAFOY, for a wonder, did not lose a single man.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
A great crisis in reference to the press is evidently
approaching. Even the most moderate newspapers
are .not spared, the Executive Government having
resolved to suppress the Constitutionnel. In yester-
day's impression of that distinguished journal ap-
pears an explicit declaration of the fact, signed by
the two principal gerants, L. VEItON and CH. MER-
RUAU. "For fourdays," say they, " the Constitutionnel
has preserved a profound silence upon political affairs.
This silence has been remarked by our readers.
Behold the motive of this constrained taciturnity—
we ha•re learnt, though without being able to confirm
the accuracy of the statement, that the question has
been agitated among the members of the Government
whether or not they should apply the Act of suspen-
sion to the Constitutionnel." Subsequently they an-
nounce their determination to resume their editorial
comments upon the proceedings of the Legislature,
and upon everything tending to the advantage or the
disadvantage of the Republic. "The danger of sus-
pension," they exclaim, " will not change in the
smallest degree the tone of our lucubrations ; we
shall neither rise into violence, nor sink under the in-
fluences of fear."

Upon this point, the Spectateurßepublicain, recog-
nized by every one as the organ of General CAVAIG-
NAc, has the following semi-official manifesto :
" We have said that the protest addressed by a certain
number of journalists to General Cavaignac was a useless
act. This step, however, has at least had the effect of
distinctly defining the policy of the Cabinet. The chief
of the Executive Government is said on this occasion to
have declared with energy his resolution not to give way
to any retrograde ihflueuce, and to proceed towards an
and against all, to the re-establishment of order and of
respect for the laws and authorities.tat it is
%Vneoatpepnlaouudghtfhoirs
firmness, adding, nevertheless, h
a government, and particularly a ri publican government,
to repress disorder whenever it may make its appear-
ance; but its first duty is to prey. lit it.
If we are
well informed, the General said, in presence of the de-
putation from the journalists, " By the prosecutions or-
dered against MM. Louis Blanc and Caussidiece I have
given pledges of my firm will to serve only the interests
of an honest and moderate Republic ; but reaction must
nut deceive itself, and imagine that it can ever induce
me to go beyond the limits I have fixed. Let the retie-
tionists, then, be cautious in their language and their
movements, for I am watching them narrowly,
repress tilt mseverely. I know that the ri aenanisdawgiil-1
tilting in certain legions of the National Guard ; but I
am ra (painted wilt these manoeuvres, and at the first
demonstration, I will crush them."
We observe, in the Dernocratie Pacjfique; that the
Moniteur du Soir announces the publication, on Tues-
day evening, of the " Letter of M. DE LAINIARTINE
to the Electors of the Ten Departments who selected
him as their Representative,"---a brochure in which

the illustrious member of the Provisional Govery
went gives an account of every- one of the
,005- -
of his political life sh:ee the 24tn of February.
General BEDEAU is now completely restored. r •
health.
" We are assured (says the Noniteur du $Oll2.
that M. TRELET, ex-Minister of Public Works,
been appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to the Cetso:..
tral German Government at Frankfort, in placed lut
SAVOYE, who was only Chargé n'Affairea, and "°::
has been recalled."
. _

Upon the subject of the joint mediation of :FrePell.
and England, in the affairs of Lombardy, the I\ra'
tional has the subjoined observations :
"The proposition of mediation muds by France ao
England has remained, thus fur, without response'
Austria maintains absolute mutism, or tether avoicls.o';
pluming herself, by alleging pretexts which we cannot
longer consider as serious. Sometimes she says the.rr
putlic must be recognized before entering into noPtia:
lion; sometimes she objects that the absence of the Mituste`
of Foreign Affairs renders an adjournment necessary..
That these motives may have had a certain value, We
admit; but at present it seems to us that they no longer
exist. Let Austria speak, then, or France, wearied With
waiting, must consider this too prolonged 511911°
as a refusal. Now in this case the republic, strong 1
the conciliating patience it has displayed, would
only have to consult the interests of its P.
Hey. It would not, however, enter into a "41.-
of conquest—it has said that, and will prove it. ‘" „,a
secure the independence of Italy already proclaimed 'a
fact at Milan, such is the only object of its interventioa
in the affairs of Italy. It has desirtd, and still desires,
that this intervention may be pacific ; but only on tha,
condition that imprudent resistance on the part .0'
Austria shall not render it necessary to support by arW
the generous principle proclaimed by the revolution 0
February. We will not yet renounce all hope of tilt
solution which alone can conciliate the double interest 0'
Lombard nationality and European peace. If Anstria,
influenced by we know not what blind obstinacy, should,.
oblige us to make an armed intervention, there won
not be reason, we hope, to fear a general conflagreti"'
The action of France would be quite special, but once
again, it would be better not to be required to supPorv„
our offers of mediation by an army. We repeat, 110*:
ever, that the obstinate silence of Austria tends Wore
and more to remove this desirable eventuality.
England and France submit to the disgrace of a Teruo"
That is scarcely probable."

At the reception of General CAYAIGNAC last even;
ing, there were present,_besides a large number °:
Deputies, the Ministers of all the Power 3 which had,
acknowledged the Republic. Among the carriage,
which were in waiting, a considerable number 91
omnibuses were observed, which had conveyed officers
of the National Guard and other guests to the soirie.
Accounts are more warlike than hitherto-1
Government being evidently prepared to send Genera
OUDINOT across the Alps in the event of Austria re*
fusing the Franco-British mediation; and such s
refusal is not altogether impossible, seeing that tbe
reply given at Vienna by Baron IVEssENBERG in tb
presence of Lord PONSONDY is rather an evasion
of
the tendered interposition, and a reference of the
whole matter to the Central German Power atFrank'
fort.
A Legitimatist insurrection took place at 181°11.'„
pellier on Tuesday last, but was almost immediate)!
suppressed. The Prefect and two magistrates were
wounded, and a gendarme killed ; six of the instil'
gents were wounded.
" The insurgents of June (says the Journal de la
Manche), who are imprisoned in the forts of Cher'
bourg, are well lodged and copiously fed. They are
nearly all in possession of money, and they are 04
prevented from spending it in the purchase of vol.,
and food of a superior quality to their rations. They
indulge in various recreations. Those in Fort Ht,
met have converted one of their rooms into a cid, e
room, where they pass their time in discussing '.1311
organization of labour. and other questions whi
were discussed in the clubs of Paris, which they
frequented." •

The German Catholic movement is still agitating
the metropolis.
The Papal Nuncio seems to be under great tiptoe'
hension lest his house or person should be endo'
gered, and he has resolved upon the precautionsd
measure of confiding all his archives to the Freacts
Embassy.

His MAJESTY has issued the following rescript:!,
"In consequence of the prep: sitious of my Minist%

follouing rt.soutions

PRUSSIA.
Accounts from Berlin are of the 28th instant.'
The insurgent meetings of the preceding afterov"
were characterised by much violence of language,. Ate
In the current sitting of the Prussian National .`!si
sembly, the Habeas Corpus Act, or law for persl
security, was voted by unanimity, and sent up for to
KING'S approval.
The House then proceeded to the order of the n- ti
on the Burgher Guard law. Before entering 111o 4
the discussion, the Minister of the Interior doer' tbe
the object of the law, and its connexion with.o4
Landwher, which admirable institution, the pride
, "hi
glory of the country, would not be affected tf,
it. M. SACOLI spoke against the project of the 1:0$
declaring it to be a provisional necessity only, an„d'uso
worthy of passing into permanent law. The The
then proceeded to discuss the articles of the BA eti
ith
after a short discussion, proceeded as far as the
to
clause. Upon the last clause a debate arose as b
whether the Burgher Guard should swear fidelity to
o`s
the " King" as well as the Constitution. Cf,tbe
REINENDACH proposed to strike out the words ,010
King," but the amendment was rejected, the Iv°
Left voting in the minority.
In consequence of certain explanations betw,egli-a
the KING and the Prince of Prussia, the latter D'of
determined for a long time to leave the March
