SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 31st ult. contain
nothing of interest, all their important contents
having been anticipated by the letter of that date
which reached us yesterday by express. The
journals of the Ist have also reached us by
express. Royal decrees, in the Gazette, re-
move Don Jose Afarchess) from the governorship
of Navarre, appoint Don Jose Palavia to the same
post, and accept the resignation of the governors
of the provinces of Alicante, Almeria, Logrono,
and Badajoz. The Gazette announces in these
terms the negotiations entered into with the insur-
gents of Saragossa :—" The rebel Junta of Sara-
gossa has made propositions of submission, and
negotiations were carried on during the whole of
the 31st." The Gazette then publiEles a despatch
announcing the entrance of General Duke into
Saragossa. General Orosco, second commander
in Granada, had been robbed and ill-treated by a
band of highwaymen on his road to Andalusia ;
and the Duke de Villahermosa had also been
robbed on the highway on his road to France.
The Epoea-says that General Gurrea, after vainly
trying to induce the populations of Haro and,
Logrono to rise, had gone to Alzola, a watering-
place. According to the same journal the band
of 14 insurgents who fled to the mountains of
Biscay had, finding that no one joined them, made
their submission, and the band of General Rniz,
which had taken to the mountains of Catalonia,
had disappeared. The Epoca says :

" The food question is one of the gravest of the
moment. For some time past the municipality of Mad-
rid, in order to prevent the rise of half a real in the
price of bread, has paid everyday from 20,000 to 30,000
rea!s from the municipal treasury ; but it cannot con-
tinue this sacrifice muoh longer. In some towns of the
province of Madrid, the difficulties are greater than in
the capital. At Vilcavaro to-day there was no bread
at all, and the Madrid authorities were consequently
obliged to send the secretary of the civil governor to the
place to make arrangements for procuring a supply."
The soldiers who had completed their period of
service were about to be definitively discharged.
The Queen had approved of the programme of the
ceremonial to be observed on the marriage of the
Infanta Dona ,A.malia with Prince Adalbert of
Bavaria.

A letter from Madrid states that Marshal
0' Donnell has sent a circular to the captains-general
and military commandants, ordering them to trans-
mit to him before the 15th inst. a detailed report
of the political situation of the provinces under
their command. Each report is also to contain
propositions in favour of such officers and soldiers
as have distinguished themselves in the late out-
break in defence of order and of the constitutional
throne.

FRANCE.

PARIS, TUESDAY.

The Emperor will return to St. Cloud on the

capital before the 15th, but there will not be any
official reception on that day. His Majesty will
visit Luneville before his return to Paris, and is
expected there on the Bth. The town and mili-
tary division are preparing a brilliant reception.
There will be grand military manoeuvres, and at
night splendid illuminations. The Emperor will
visit Epinal, it is said, on the 6th.
The trial of the reaping-machines, seen at the
Ag icultural Exhibition of Paris, came off on Sa-
turday last, at La Planchette, near Villiers, com-
mune of Neuilly (Seine), in a field belonging to the
Count de Beranger. The machines of Messrs. Bella,
Dray, and Laurent were the only ones that per-
formed their task. The jury unanimously gave the
following decision :—No first prize ; two second
prizes of 100 f. and a silver medal, one to M. Bella
and another to M. Laurent, ee cequo ; third prize,
300 f. and a bronze medal to Mr. Wm. Dray ; no
