SPAIN.

Our accounts from Madrid are to the 30th ult.
At the opening of the sitting of the Cortes. on
that day M. Orense presented an address of the
provincial deputation of PalenCia, viindemning the
recent events in that city, and demanding indem-
nities for the victims of those excesses.
The Government acquired every day additional
proofs that the conspiracy had extensive ramifica-
tions, and that its principal object was to destroy all
the provision stores. Most of the incendiaries of
Castile are operatives who earned good wages, and
dear food was a mere pretext to force the people to
revolt.
M. Escosura, the Minister of the Interior, had
written to his colleagues that he hoped to discover
the origin of that plot against property. All the
Ministers, and Geenral Esparteio in particular, are
determined to punish those crimes in an exemplary
manner. " Once for all," said the General, "we
must either cease to be a Government or re-esta
blish the prestige and power of authority.
The arrests at Valladolid are said to exceed 200.
The proprietors are to be indemnified. The Govern-
ment had demanded the returns of the losses they
had suffered, and the Cortes will vote a special loan
to that effect.
An attempt had been made at Aranjuez to set
fire to a corn store.
The accounts from Catalonia were satisfactory.
The Captain-General of Cuba has offered the Go-
vernment 12,000,000 reels, at two, three, or six
months' date ; but the Government has answered
that satisfactory arrangements for meeting all its
engagements up to the end of the year have been
made, and that it prefers leaving the money in the
island, in case any need of it should arise.
