SPAIN.
Our accounts from Madrid are of the 18h inst. •
An officer of the staff had arrived the day before
at Madrid, who was said to be the bearer of im-
portant despatches from the Captain-General of
Barcelona. Catalonia was perfectly tranquil.
The Clamor Pablico states that, before the close
of the month, the Government will have come to
an understanding on all the questions connected
with the political re-organisation of the country.
The Madrid Gazette publishes the following,
dated Lisbon, 12th Inst. :
" During the recent riots, a great affluence of coun-
try people was observed in the capital. Emissaries had
been sent to different points, and it is now well known
that a revolutionary movement was contemplated. The
rioters having announced that they would be joined by
the lubourers employed on the railways and in the
manufactories, the Governor had caused certain posi•
tions to be occupied by the troops. The attitude of the
latter deterred many from joining the groups. The
Captain-General deserves the g:eatest praise ; by his
prudence and coup d'ceil he defeated the designs of the
seditious. The re organisation of the Municipal Guard
and the dismissal of its Commander-in-chief were con•
sidered indispensable. That corps costs the State
4,347,82 G reals per annum, and might be replaced by
the troops of the garrison by granting the men a trifling
additional pay. Tiie King is of opinion that regiments
should not remain more than one year in the same town.
All the corps of the army would accordingly in their
turn benefit by the measure."

• ,
The Madrid journals of the 19th have arrived.
The Gazette publishes a bando of the Civil Gover-
i nor of the province of Madrid, depriving the al-
, caldes of the power of delivering permissions to
carry arms, and declaring that the applications
for them must be transmitted to his office with de•
tails respecting the personal character of the appli-
cants, their mode of life, &c. The Espana says
that the question of the recognition of the Queen
by Russia not being yet settled, it is probable that
no Spanish ambassador will be present at the coro-
nation of the Czar. New sergeants have been ap.
pointed to the regiments which took part in the
pronunciamento of Saragossa. At Saragossa, Ma-
laga, and on the Pyrenean frontier large seizures
of smuggled goods had been made. One of the
journals, in recording the seizures, says that
smuggling is the great cause of insurrection in
many provincial towns. It was said that
Marshal Narvaez was about to receive a pass-
port authorising him to reside in any part of
Spain he might think fit. A deputation had ar-
rived from Barcelona to j•iv° the Government
an account of the state of til'e province of Cata-
lonia. Orders had been sent .th the governor
General of the Balearic islands, p..-s dissolve the
national guard. it was reported, sapi nib'Espana,titiAt Mr, Qtwityl wmtary a tho
